Chapter 130: Wu Zhuangyuan!
In the martial arts examination, in the end, it is not the strongest person who wins the champion, but the governor of the capital.
The reason for this is to truly select all-round talents, and the martial champion must be a person who has passed both the military and martial arts, and a person who has strength but bad conduct cannot be a martial champion.
Wearing bright battle robes, the Metropolitan Governor, supported by a group of senior officers, personally selected the top three from among the ten best candidates Chen Ning.
Before he was hand-picked, he had to ask each of the ten candidates on the scene a question.
The nine candidates lined up with Chen Ning were all summoned to the Metropolitan Governor one after another to accept the Metropolitan Governor's questions.
Many people at the scene were also listening, and most of the questions asked by the Metropolitan Governor were basically about the military, such as what to do if your companion is injured when fighting zombies, abandoning your comrades, or killing each other to prevent them from becoming zombies, etc.
Even many questions have no standard answers, and most of the governors ask these questions, probably just to infer the candidate's personality from the candidate's answers, and whether they are suitable for the big responsibility.
Chen Ning was the last to be summoned to the Metropolitan Governor and a group of officers, Chen Ning walked quickly to the Metropolitan Governor with his waist straight, snapped a military salute, and said loudly and powerfully: "Captain Chen Ning, I have seen the Metropolitan Governor and the Commander." ”
The Metropolitan Governor had a gentle and elegant smile on his face, but when he asked questions to several other candidates, he was also so gentle, so Chen Ning couldn't judge the likes and dislikes of the Metropolitan Governor in his heart.
Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke casually flipped through Chen Ning's resume, as well as Chen Ning's achievements in participating in the martial arts in the past few days, and then squinted his eyes and said: "Chen Ning, graduated from the Blue Bird Training Base of the Immortal Bird Legion, and the bishop is the butcher colonel. ”
Chen Ning was a little surprised when he heard this, the butcher turned out to be a lieutenant colonel, but now he has been promoted to colonel, and he is only one step away from the general. Of course, it is estimated that the butcher has successfully broken through and stepped into the level of a 10-level general, and the butcher must be promoted from above, otherwise the dignified 10-level general is only a small lieutenant colonel, which is also too shabby.
Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke looked at the file and continued to read: "When I was training at the Jade Bird Base, I had a conflict with instructor Shi Yu, which led to a duel, and finally defeated Instructor Shi Yu, who was a fourth-level general, with the strength of a sixth-level general. After graduating, he joined the regular army of the undead birds, was assigned to the Black Storm Force, was recruited by Major General Xiao Feng, joined the Hell Journey operation, and finally brought important information back to the empire alone with the sacrifice of all the team members. During his tenure in the Black Storm Force, he had a conflict with Xiao Zhuo, the former commander of the Iron Heart, and when the Southern Theater was out of control, all the Storm Warriors were killed, but only Chen Ning and the Bull Demon King survived and returned to the army, and are now temporarily subordinate to the Logistics Department of the Immortal Bird Legion. ”
Chen Ning didn't squint, listening to most of the governors read his resume.
The Metropolitan Governor continued: "Participated in the imperial examination, entered the top 10 with a complete victory record, and almost every game, it was crushing and amazing. ”
After the Metropolitan Governor finished reading, he put down the Chinese document in his hand, and then looked at Chen Ning: "Captain Chen Ning, now I have a question I want to ask you first." ”
"Ask the Governor!"
"Major General Xiao Feng, who died in the previous Hell Journey mission, he is my cousin, as far as I know, Major General Xiao Feng and all the soldiers such as Li Yaoxing and Wang Xiao are all behind, covering the weak team members such as communication experts, psychiatrists and military doctors to retreat, as a storm soldier, why didn't you join Major General Xiao Feng and them?"
When everyone heard the Metropolitan Governor's question, they looked at each other one by one, did the Metropolitan Governor suspect that Chen Ning was greedy for life and afraid of death? I want to see how Chen Ning answers, but as a warrior, it should be a bit embarrassing to refuse to fight for any reason and choose to retreat.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Ning's answer was very simple: "Report to the Metropolitan Governor, it was Major General Xiao Feng who asked me to retreat." ”
The Metropolitan Governor narrowed his eyes and asked with a sneer: "So as a soldier, you, along with the military doctors, psychologists, and experts, retreated with the weak team members?"
Chen Ning: "Yes, because Major General Xiao Feng told me that this is an order. ”
When the Metropolitan Governor and other senior officers heard Chen Ning's words, they were all stunned, yes, it is the glory of a soldier to fight bravely and without fear, but absolute obedience to orders, that is the first criterion of soldiers, no matter what, it cannot be violated, no officer will like a soldier who does not obey orders, no matter what reason the soldier has.
The Metropolitan Governor's eyes softened, he glanced at Chen Ning, and immediately threw out a more acute question: "Captain Chen Ning, let me ask you one more question, this is a hypothetical question." If you are the supreme commander of a legion, you are fighting the enemy on the front line, and I, as the Grand Governor, order you to retreat. But you find that if you retreat, it will cause immeasurable disasters to the empire and to our Chinese people. So are you going to stick to the battlefield, or do you follow my orders?"
When the people around heard the Governor's words, their expressions became strange.
Chen Ning just said that absolute obedience to orders is the duty of a soldier, so now, is it important to obey the orders of the metropolitan governor, or is the interests of the empire and the people important?
Everyone thinks that the Metropolitan Governor's question is a trap, Chen Ning chooses to obey the order, then he feels that Chen Ning is a stupid executor, stupid enough to ignore the interests of the people and the safety of the empire;
Everyone looked at Chen Ning with pity, because the problem of the Metropolitan Governor was too cunning and tricky.
Some people even felt that the Metropolitan Governor definitely didn't want Chen Ning to be the champion of martial arts, so he deliberately used this kind of question to make Chen Ning answer badly.
Chen Ning was silent for two seconds, and said slowly: "I'm not in it, so I can't answer with certainty." But if I judge that I will really cause immeasurable damage to the empire and the people by obeying the order to retreat, then I will most likely refuse to obey the order. Because I am loyal to the empire, I am the people of China, and I am not the governor of you!"
Chen Ning's words were heard by the surrounding homeless people, and they cheered in unison, and the momentum was monstrous.
However, some of Liu Luanlin's old fritters sneered, and Chen Ning said that he was not only loyal to the Metropolitan Governor, but he was simply the worst answer.
The Metropolitan Governor is tinkering with this martial arts, isn't it just to appease the displaced people and cultivate a new group of descendant forces, Chen Ning is now saying that he is not loyal to the Metropolitan Governor, how can the Metropolitan Governor still choose Chen Ning as the martial champion, Chen Ning's answer, it's really bad!
Sure enough, everyone seemed unhappy when they saw the Grand Governor, and asked Chen Ning coldly, "Are you sure?"
Chen Ning's heart was also sinking, but he still insisted on his sincere answer: "Yes!"
"Stand down!"
"Yes, Grand Duke!"
Chen Ning returned to the queue, and the other nine candidates all laughed, because they also felt that Chen Ning's final answer was too lame, and Chen Ning was originally the most powerful favorite to compete for the martial champion. Now that it's okay, it will definitely make the Metropolitan Governor unhappy, which also means that the nine of them have a chance to compete for the title of Martial Champion.
Chen Ning's face was calm, his answers were all answered after careful consideration, if he encountered such a situation, he would do what he would do, he would answer as he pleased, without any deception, because he wanted to be his true self. Moreover, he had decided before that he would do what he should do and what he could do, and the rest would be left to his fate.
At this moment, as the city lord of Vermilion Bird City, Yu Wenyuan came to the Metropolitan Governor with a roster of ten people, and respectfully handed the roster to the Metropolitan Governor, asking the Metropolitan Governor to check out the top three.
The Metropolitan Governor picked up the problem, and quickly ticked the names of three people on the roster, and marked who was Wu Zhuangyuan, who was Wu Bangyan, and who was Wu Tanhua.
Yu Wenyuan glanced at the name of the top three, a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down, glanced at the Metropolitan Governor with a respectful gaze, turned to Chen Ning's ten candidates, and began to read: "Third place, Wu Tanhua is Zhang Xinyi!"
Zhang Xinyi, who was in the queue, was suddenly full of surprise and couldn't stop smiling.
"Second place, Wu Bangyan is Shen Bijun!"
Shen Bijun in the queue also showed an ecstatic expression and clenched his fists excitedly.
"First place, Wu Zhuangyuan, Chen Ning!"
When Yu Wenyuan's words fell, the audience was silent, and two seconds later, the audience broke out in an earth-shattering cheer, especially the cheers of the displaced people, like a tsunami from the mountains, because Chen Ning's answer just now said that the interests of the people and the empire are more important than everything, this answer did not please the governor, but it made countless refugees have a good impression of Chen Ning, hoping that Chen Ning will become the champion of martial arts.
Now, it's really what everyone expects.
Chen Ning himself was dumbfounded, he thought that he couldn't become a martial champion, but he didn't think that the Metropolitan Governor would choose him.
At this time, the Metropolitan Governor Xiao Ke had already come over in person, walked up to Chen Ning, and smiled elegantly: "Chen Ning, why do you have such an unbelievable expression, could it be that the Governor of Pontus is such a heartless chief in your eyes, do you really think that I will be angry for your answer?" ha!"
