After understanding Lin Fan's thoughts, Sanders also made up his mind.

Since Lin Fan, this kid wants to make a big one, then he will use this opportunity to burn the fire more vigorously and remove all the cancers of the Starfleet for decades!

The current leader of the seniority faction is Richard Leon, the deputy commander-in-chief of Starfleet headquarters, with the rank of five-star admiral, and he was the one who helped him to take the position before.

For now, it is still unrealistic for Sanders to want to get rid of Richard directly, but it is still possible to take this opportunity to cut off some of his henchmen first.

After sorting out the order, Sanders contacted Lin Zhen, and the two talked on the phone for two hours.

The next day, Lin Zhen held a meeting at the presidential palace, and in addition to the vice president and a group of staff, the commander-in-chief of the federal starfleet Sanders and the deputy commander-in-chief Richard, were also invited.

In the conference room, everyone felt that today was a little different, after all, if they wanted to involve the people of Starfleet in a meeting, they would just invite Marshal Sanders and call Richard together, which was really the first time.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's have a meeting now!"

When everyone arrived and the door of the conference room closed, Lin Fan spoke.

"The topic of today's meeting is very important, and if it is not handled properly, the future of the entire Federation will be ruined!"

As soon as Lin Zhen's words came out, everyone else in the conference room was shocked except for Sanders and Ed, two people in the know.

What exactly is today's topic? President Lin Zhen said it so seriously?

Look at this posture, something big is going to happen today.

"Let me talk about this matter first, everyone knows that we asked the Io Federation to build warships, and there is one thing we didn't take into account!"

"That is, it is easy to build battleships, but after the two legions of warships are full, how to deal with the large number of commanders missing?"

"According to the reports of the two corps on the front, even if it is a temporary system of appointment according to the current downgrade of 2 levels, there are still a large number of gaps, and there is no suitable person to take office!"

The staff somewhat understood this, and this was indeed an oversight.

Before, they only thought about how to fill the warships of the two legions as soon as possible, but they did not take into account the problem of insufficient commanders.

Speaking of which, there are indeed fewer officers above the rank of general in the two legions, so much so that Li Cangqiong, who is only a colonel, was even allowed to go to the top three months ago, and the seniority faction of Starfleet made a lot of trouble about this matter.

There are no stupid people in the staff here, they have already realized that I am afraid that Lin Fan is going to do something again, and this time it may be directly aimed at the seniority faction, otherwise even Richard would not have been called over for a meeting, he is the current leader of the seniority faction.

"President Lin, it's not quite right for you to say that, in our Starfleet headquarters, there are more capable generals, even if there are two more legions, we have enough generals to fill the commander vacancy."

It came, and it came.

This sentence flashed in everyone's hearts in an instant.

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Richard, I don't deny that there are many generals in the Starfleet headquarters, but how many people are actually really capable, everyone knows it, you must know that the generals are incompetent and tired to death of the three armies!"

Lin Zhen's words were quite unkind, and Richard's face instantly became ugly.

"President, what you said is a bit too much, you can't veto all the generals just because of one person!"

"Don't worry, those veteran generals of the interstellar headquarters want to be on top, it's not impossible, but they need to be tested! If it's really capable, I will never stop it! ”

"I wonder how the president wants to test?"

Richard looked at Lin Zhen with a slightly gloomy look.

He knew that the president was going to do something today!

"Well, recently the First Army submitted a plan, the content of which is to select a suitable fleet commander, and a competition will be conducted, as long as it is an officer above the colonel level, it can participate!"

"What? Isn't Lin Fan messing around, as long as it's school-level? Is he ready to put the major in the position of commander of the fleet, what kind of system is this! ”

"No, I think the proposal of the competition selection is very good, but the details need to be changed, not limited to the internal selection of the First Legion, Starfleet headquarters can also participate in it, as long as you always have the ability to win the selection, you can also become the fleet commander!"

"At the same time, Marshal Sanders and I both feel that there are more moths in the Starfleet headquarters at present, and it is just right to take this opportunity to let all the generals above the brigadier general participate in the selection, and we can also take a good look at how much waste is dominating the position inside,"

"I think that with so many experienced and capable generals in the headquarters, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat those school-level legions in the selection! What do you say, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Richard? ”

Listening to what Lin Zhen said, where did Richard not know what kind of trick he was going to play?

It seems that he has been forced into a corner, and there is no suitable reason to refuse such an offer.

But don't you know what the hell those generals under him are? It's a bit difficult for them to win!

But now it is completely difficult to ride a tiger, either bow your head and admit defeat and no longer participate in the battle for the commander of the two legions, but in this way, the seniority faction will become more and more marginalized, and finally gradually disappear is the inevitable result.

Bite the bullet? It is likely that they will be wiped out in the selection, and in the end, Lin Zhen and Sanders will use this fire to sweep the seniority faction out of the Federation Starfleet!

Revolt? That's even more embarrassing, the seniority faction only controls the solar system garrison fleet of 28,000 old warships, while the two major legions control the fleet of more than 100,000 new warships, and there is no difference between resisting and seeking death!

"We are now in a critical moment in the Human Federation, and an accident is the end of the extinction of civilization, I believe that everyone still remembers the fate of the Oaks Empire, right? This is the brutal interstellar age! ”

"For this, I must not allow anyone to drag his feet!"

Lin Zhen looked at Richard, who had been thinking for a long time, but still didn't speak, and spoke.

Lin Zhen is already clearly threatening him, if you dare to disagree, I can even use iron-blooded means to remove moths for the future of the Federation!

Richard naturally understood the meaning of Lin Zhen's words!

"That's it, let's do as the president wants!"

Sighing, Richard said helplessly.

"Okay, it's still the same sentence, those who have the ability to clean it up, and those who don't have the ability to clean it up, of course we will let them withdraw from the Federation Starfleet with dignity, but if you want to make small moves, don't blame me for not being emotional."

Richard understood that letting the incompetent withdraw from Starfleet with dignity was already Lin Zhen's last kindness.

If he is not interested, this president may really use heavy-handed tactics.
