On August 1, 1941, the sun shone brightly.

In the headquarters building of the People's League Army in Laizhou City, a spacious office was filled with people.

"Commander-in-Chief, now that the entire Vietnam is under the control of our National League for Democracy (NLD) Army, shouldn't we start making preparations for the establishment of a nation?"

The speaker was named Xue Zhigang, and he was the director of the Foreign Affairs Department directly under the China Democratic League.

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief, only when there is a country can soldiers and civilians have a sense of belonging. Only in this way will they fight desperately when war breaks out!” Chen Sanyuan echoed Xue Zhigang’s words.

Upon hearing their words, Lin Feng, who was sitting in the head seat, nodded. Then, after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Yes, you two are right. A nation without faith is no different from a walking corpse. We should take advantage of this time to put this matter on the agenda and implement it as soon as possible!"

"By the way, who do you think should be the president of this country?"

The people sitting in the office were a little stunned when Lin Feng said those words.

Who would be suitable to take the position?

What's the meaning? ? ?

Army Commander Zhang Xiaowu stood up abruptly and replied with a smile, "Commander-in-Chief, please don't joke with us. This presidency is definitely yours. Who else could it be?"

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief, I think no one else could hold this position securely except you…” Wang Lichen followed up.

The others followed suit and expressed their opinions.

However.

Only the Vietnamese generals looked very solemn.

For example: Nguyen Thi Mai, head of the intelligence department; Le Van Huy, head of the conscription department; Nguyen Chi Thanh, deputy head of the conscription department; Nguyen Hong, director of the Northern Conscription Office; Vu Yuan Giap, director of the Southern Conscription Office; Van Tien Nhan, director of the Central Conscription Office; Hoang Hung Nghia, director of the Overseas Conscription Office, etc.

These Vietnamese generals knew very well that the commander-in-chief in front of them was not a pure Vietnamese, and if he were to become president, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause!

This little scheme of hers naturally did not escape Lin Feng's notice.

Looking at the expressions of the Vietnamese generals, Lin Feng smiled faintly: "To be honest, I really have no interest in this presidency. As you all know, I have never liked managing political affairs. Therefore, I would like you to elect a suitable person to fill this presidency!"

He actually said those words after careful consideration.

After all, he is the chairman of the Democratic Alliance, possessing veto power and the power to pass resolutions, which does not affect his dictatorship.

As long as the Democratic Alliance can maintain firm control over the military, even if this country is established, it will at most be their puppet.

But these words have a different meaning to others.

Immediately, all the Chinese generals were in an uproar.

"No, no, absolutely not! The president must be the commander-in-chief!" Zhang Xiaowu was the first to stand up and object.

Secondly, Zhu Shixiong, Yang Wenhai, Chen Sanyuan, Wang Lichen, Xue Zhigang, Wang Yunfei, and others also objected: "No, this position must be held by the Commander-in-Chief!"

"That's right! Absolutely not!"

"No one else can take this position! Only the Commander-in-Chief can!"

"Or you'll have to step over my dead body!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely not!"

"..."

Seeing the fierce opposition from the generals, Lin Feng slammed his hand on the table.

Snap!

A sharp crack startled the Chinese generals around them!

Then, he slowly puffed on his cigarette, exhaling smoke rings, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Wenhui: "Director Li, how about you become the president?"

Li Wenhui was dumbfounded.

He truly hadn't expected the Commander-in-Chief to appoint him as president; this was definitely a test! Definitely!

He wouldn't dare get involved in such a thing.

After all, his rank is what it is.

After coughing twice, Li Wenhui shook his head and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I am just a small-time conscription officer. Compared to everyone here, I am far inferior. The presidency is rightfully yours!"

Lin Feng smiled without saying a word, then turned his gaze to Nguyen Thi Mai, the head of the intelligence department: "Director Nguyen, what do you think?"

"Uh—this..."

After hesitating for a moment, Nguyen Thi Mai finally gritted her teeth and nodded: "Commander-in-Chief, I... I also think you are more suitable for this position. Please do not refuse!"

"Hahaha! Great!"

Lin Feng laughed three times, took a few deep drags on his cigarette, and then yelled, "A bunch of cowards!!!"

? ? ? ? ?

What's the meaning?

Coward?

The commander-in-chief actually called them cowards?

Is being president really beneath you?

Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction.

But they dared not retaliate, for whoever provoked him would be in trouble.

After taking in everyone's reactions, Lin Feng snorted coldly again: "I'll ask you one question: aren't my orders absolute military orders that must be obeyed no matter what?"

"yes."

All the generals responded in unison.

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and took another drag of his cigarette. "Since everyone says so, then why do you question even my decisions and not support my suggestions?"

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, according to common sense, Lin Feng's decision was perfectly reasonable, and they wouldn't utter a single word of objection.

But the president is different; he's a symbol of a nation!

The creator of the highest authority in a country! Representing the entire nation, the spiritual pillar of the entire nation!

If he doesn't become president, the country he worked so hard to build will fall apart.

The key issue is that, apart from him, no one else can command the respect of the masses.
