"Livia Scher...... "Constantine XI smacked the name.

Livia, everyone here has more or less heard of it. Francisco is also a virtuous man. At the beginning of the establishment of the Phoenix Fleet, Francisco ensured that a large number of talents were recruited into the core system of the Phoenix Fleet. But most of the commanders recommended by Francisco were competent for their posts, and the royal family did not intervene too much.

Livia Scheer is one of them.

Originally a descendant of a minor aristocracy in the Crimea, he came to the empire alone after directly or indirectly commanding several painless naval battles for Theodoro.

Before and after the reorganization of the Phoenix Fleet Navy, under Francisco's arrangement, Livia Scheer became the captain of one of the main warships of the Phoenix Fleet, the Storm, and one of Francisco's trusted lieutenants. As for Livia's position, it is perhaps more inclined to the faction of the old aristocracy. It will take some time to see whether the Valleolords will be loyal to the royal family.

"Francisco, after all, the Fourth Fleet is also nominally a fully formed fleet of the Empire. Whether or not Livia Scheer is truly up to the post of Admiral of the Fleet, we need more information to be convinced. After all, the new nobles would certainly prefer the entire legion to be in their hands. The royal family also has to give some reasons to do it. "Constantine XI still had a lot of trust in every member of the Imperial Council, after all, this group of people had hardly made a failed decision for several years, and Francesco had commanded the Phoenix fleet for so long. This judgment should not be too wrong.

"Your Majesty, Livia Scheer may not be the best of all the naval commanders I know, but he should be the most suitable for the position of the Fourth Fleet. Livia's strength lies in flank support in defensive and naval battles. Performance in the battle...... It can only be said that it is not satisfactory. In the short term, the Fourth Fleet should not develop into a real main battle fleet, and it is just right for Livia Scheer to stand in this position. Moreover, Livia Scheer has a certain political struggle mind, and no matter who the new nobles pick out to command the Fourth Legion, it should not affect Livia's status in the Legion. After all, the Fourth Legion will definitely not be as harmonious as the Phoenix Legion. Francisco also made a new bet on the Fourth Legion. The Empire's current expansion plan is obviously a bit rushed, and in the end, what kind of combat effectiveness the new legion can show is a question mark in everyone's minds.

"Then wait for the next meeting of the New Senate, Constantinople has been lively enough lately."

……

As Constantine XI said, the Senate would never have held formal meetings so often after the reform. After all, not everyone who could attend the Senate would be able to live in Constantinople. They have their own jurisdictions or jobs, especially the lower ranks, which are responsible for the leaders of the various professional unions.

In the end, the meeting on personnel appointments was officially held half a month later.

For this meeting, there was a lack of interest in the lower echelons. After all, the candidates had already been decided to be voted on by the new nobles, and since there was a chance to abstain this time, the leaders of the professional unions would probably be most willing to do than pinch their votes to the end, and then watch the upper echelons fight there.

As Constantine XI had predicted, the council turned into a civil war between the new nobility. The new nobles, who had been clinging to Tarianos Tadivi, were forced to take over the position of commander of the Fourth Legion, and now, for the last remaining benefit, they had to tear each other's last face.

The whole is divided into new subgroups in the face of interests. Some unheard-of small families also emerged from the cracks to compete for the position of commander of the Fourth Legion.

If at the beginning of the meeting, the various forces were able to sit down and negotiate relatively peacefully, but later, the entire hall of the new Senate has become tense. Some of the elders of the upper echelons of the hierarchy had already risen angrily because of their agitation, and used vulgar language from various regions to insult and accuse each other. Osipis was immediately used by the new patriarchs in this congress to use the chaotic punches against Tarianos in the Supreme Court, and the usual means of belittling opponents, deducting hats, and even insulting people have become the usual means to belittle their opponents and elevate themselves.

Perhaps the Palaiologos royal family did it on purpose, but there were no guards of the same size in the new Senate hall as last time, and the royal family or the royal council did not even appoint people to intervene in the process of the meeting. "It's all a luxury.

The lower echelons of the hierarchy were overjoyed, while the new aristocracy was changing their ways to show their amazing "self-cultivation".

A discussion about the choice of commanders has completely turned into a war of scolding.

"Miss Evelei, you're here again?"

"His Majesty John is able to leave the bed in a wheelchair, but the wound has not healed, so I'll take a look. Although what His Majesty John wants is only a result, the process of today's meeting is still ...... It's exciting. Eveleigh covered her mouth, and Publius could tell from the frequency of her shoulder twitching that she must have had a hard time smiling.

It was not until the end, when the meeting began to look like a violent conflict, that the guards who had been watching the battle for a long time finally stood up and pulled open the new nobles who had rolled up their sleeves.

By this time, the hall was in shambles, and in the center of the rotunda there were broken ceramics and glass, and some people had been torn off a large piece of the fabric of their clothing, and the wind blew in through the windows to the sky.

After the red-faced aristocrats gradually calmed down, the voting session, which had been put on hold for a long time, finally officially began.

This meeting has completely lost the sense of formality and sacredness of the last time Tarivius competed with Angelo. The voting method has also changed to the most traditional voting method of voting by show of hands. And when the list of candidates was listed one by one, there were a full nineteen people. You must know that the maximum number of valid votes in the entire meeting is only one hundred and fifty votes, and after layers of division, it may be that a key vote of a lower level of the council who does not understand military affairs can decide the commander of the Fourth Army Corps.

Evely...... It's child's play. Even if it is for the sake of a power struggle, priority should be given to ensuring the combat effectiveness of this legion! ”

"Don't worry, His Majesty John has a backhand."
