Chapter 766: Chief of Staff
The words of the interim president still echoed in his ears today, and every word of this merciless report seemed shocking, and Fazzani's heart was now as mixed as if he had overturned a seasoning shop, and although in fact he had done nothing, his mood had become as bad as he had been after the defeat at Zoroaster.
He couldn't help but fall into a deep self-reproach for this, on the one hand, blaming himself for being too optimistic about the situation, and mistrusting the mind of the fool Cooper; On the other hand, he blames himself for overcoming reason with emotion, and made a commander he didn't know much about the key to this mission.
So far, the Military Council has not sent him any directives, but he can fully imagine Savage. When Ahmed learned the news, he was irritable and anxious to find a scapegoat, and the vice chairman of the Military Commission, Zhu Er, who had always been polite to him. Greenras, perhaps, is urgently ordering her speechwriters to revise their press releases and change their header from 'brilliant victory' to 'partial setbacks'.
And when this round of media eyeball carnival is over, the moment of reckoning will follow, and at that time, will they consider taking off their hat as fleet commander again? Or is it an official who is demoted three levels to set an example?
A strange thought crossed his mind at this moment, which made him immediately wake up and smile bitterly, for he had naively regarded these two punishments as a single choice.
Fazzani knows that with Savic. Ahmed's ill feelings towards himself, he can have this right, seize the command he just obtained, and then take the general star on his chest. And when that time comes, who knows, voluntarily retire or be forced to be discharged from the army, and then return to that cramped old mansion in the town of Qingworm in Jingxin City, and resented the heavens and the earth like his father, and spent his days with spirits as a companion, until he died in worthless solitude?
In the command cabin of the Awabrennan battleship, the war intelligence officers were silent, and the operators were in their seats to handle their daily routines, and everyone seemed to have reached some kind of consensus as if they had reached a tacit understanding, and they lightly made the command cabin as quiet as a grave.
Whether it was the officers and men of the former Sixth Fleet, who had recently joined the army, or the former volunteers who had followed Fazzani since the rescue of the Valkyria colony, he knew less about the bad habits of some of the generals today, and they naturally understood what it meant for this good-tempered commander to stay in his chair and pinch his forehead and sit still for a long time. Therefore, no one dares to put themselves in the attention of the cabin unless they receive a specific order.
But at this point, Fazzani's beautiful assistant Nicole . Lieutenant Colonel Xiao is clearly not among them.
"General, there's still an hour left before our planned entry point to Falkus." Shaw maintains her usual seriousness and professionalism, and she is unsmiling and faithfully carrying out her role.
Fazani didn't speak, just nodded slightly with a slight frown.
"Torris. Colonel Fotien has just sent you a message to discuss the next steps. The lieutenant colonel then reported.
"Solution? There's no plan, let him stay on the 'People of Liberty' and talk about it later. Fazani began to lose his temper impatiently.
"But ......," Shaw has yet to explain.
"Nothing, Nicole, the only thing the Chief of Staff can do now is to leave me alone for a while!" He loudly interrupted his assistant.
"General, I mean to say that the Colonel is already here, he just landed on the flagship a few minutes ago." Xiao wrenched his face, but his eyes were smiling, and she also felt that the other party was a little pampered and arrogant about the uninvited acquaintance of the new acting chief of staff.
"Hey! He would not knock on the door until he entered the room, and this kind of untutored behavior would have been left to Raphael. Cohen doesn't know what he's going to be punished for. Fazani muttered quietly, perhaps because the other party was Fotian, but the anger in his stomach did not continue to burn more and more.
Jean Torris. It was originally his idea for Votian to be the chief of staff of the Eleventh Fleet, but now he is just acting like a chief of staff, so even if he is directly angry, the joke is still on him.
After the long-pending command of the fleet was finally decided, Zhu Er. Greenras really had to worry about the deputy candidates for this new fleet. Johansen who lost his own fleet. Dacheszi apparently couldn't work with the guy who had taken his command, so he went to the Ninth Fleet to give the young Ben Brown. Fox as a deputy; However, Situ Jue, the former deputy commander of the Tenth Fleet, chose to retire from the Yinmeng Navy at the height of his life due to family reasons.
According to Fazzani's original intention, he really wanted Commodore Fan Zeyang of the Fifth Fleet, and the latter was obviously interested in joining this group of remnants of the old and new fleets, but when Greenras politely proposed this possibility to the commander of the Fifth Fleet, he was politely rejected on the spot by the calm-faced Yellow Crane.
"If it becomes the norm to poach from the wall and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, how much difference will I have from the selfish merchants of the Minotaur?" Huang He openly expressed his disgust at the incident to Greenras.
Therefore, the candidate for the chief of staff can only be Fotian, because in fact, unless it is a guy like Fan Zeyang who can think about what others don't want and can always keep pace with him, he Fazani actually doesn't want to find a smart guy to put in the position of fleet staff officer, and he will give him any ideas solemnly.
He thinks that his head is enough, and all he needs is a data-based talent who can accurately analyze the big picture at the necessary moment. Fotien is undoubtedly the most suitable one.
So that's it, he was originally promoted for his outstanding performance in Operation Valkyria, and he was promoted to another level in order to be in line with the future status of the Fleet Chief of Staff. Fortien then accepted the position to which he was very fond of it, with the rank of Colonel of the Silver Alliance.
