Lin Su was the only one who did not appear in the military court during the entire trial. Even so, the public's calls for him were getting louder and louder.
Originally, his military achievements were so brilliant that it was unfair for him to be awarded only a military rank. Such military achievements could not be achieved by any current legion commander. His achievements were so great that no title could be given. Now that the second legion commander has stepped down, he has undoubtedly given up his position.
The other legion commanders all come from families. If Major General Lin can become the second legion commander, he will be the first legion commander from a grassroots background.
Lin Su stood at the window and watched from afar as Brian was taken away. It was indeed as the people thought, Brian's resignation was indeed meant to make room for him, but even if there was such a meaning, some things could not be revealed in the open.
"Congratulations, Commander of the Second Legion." A gentle and elegant voice came from behind him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Lin Su turned his head and looked at the elegant man in a suit. "This matter hasn't been finalized yet. It's better not to say anything too soon."
Nothing has been concluded yet, which means there will be changes. Although he has enough military merits now, his qualifications are not enough, and not all legion commanders will support him to take the position. After all, the position of the second legion commander is vacant, and countless people want it.
"I only know that what you want, no one can take it away from you." The king came over, stood beside him and said with a smile, "I am very optimistic about you."
Just like no one believed that this person could come back from the Zerg pile on the planet Yassa, but he did it and blew up the Zerg's nest. Although the data of that transcendent weapon has been submitted, if one wants to make it according to the theory, the success rate will be infinitesimally close to zero due to the smallest amount of data matching.
Lin Su looked straight ahead and said, "Thank you for your high regard."
"So what will you do once you take the throne?" The king followed his gaze, but couldn't find where it landed. "Brian would never say something like that for no reason."
Lin Su glanced at him sideways. The royal family of the Dennis Empire was in decline. When most of the military power was in the hands of the family, the royal status would only decline further. King Ye Yu did not appear frequently in the original world line, but from the perspective of the protagonist, he was a king with a very unpredictable mind.
Now, he seemed even more perceptive and intelligent. Lin Su asked, "What do you want to say?"
"The An family is definitely not your long-term partner." Ye Yu looked at him and said, "An Bingde, like the people from other families, wants to better control the legion in the family's hands, and our goals are the same."
The rise of a family and its control of enormous power will indeed lead to the decline of the royal family. No one will watch their own decline and remain indifferent.
"You want to deprive the family of its control over the legion, but even if I take control of this place, I will not serve you completely, because the royal family is also a huge family." Lin Su looked at him and said.
"Of course." Ye Yu said with a smile.
He did not expect Lin Su to serve him. This country was no longer a country that obeyed the orders of the king. However, the royal family needed an opportunity to restore its former glory. The legion was the best opportunity, but it was too heavily controlled by the family. No one wanted the royal family to regain power. Only when it became fair would the royal family gain the power to climb again.
"It's a pleasure working with you." Lin Su saluted him, then turned and left without hesitation.
Looking at his tall and straight figure, Ye Yu looked out the window. When he saw a white dove landing on the eaves of a house, he finally found the place where his sight landed: "Happy cooperation."
When talking to smart people, you often don’t need too much language to understand each other.
The position of the commander of the Second Legion became vacant, and there were indeed many competitors. Even though Lin Su was very popular among the people, there were still people who would make a fuss about his lack of qualifications. At this time, the power of the people's words was actually not as strong as the power that was actually obtained.
Because once you have that position, as long as you don't do anything obviously wrong in the future, the voices of opposition will eventually die down.
But at this time, not only did the An family express their support, but the royal family also rejected all objections and said that Lin Su was the popular choice to take the position of commander of the Second Legion. What surprised the competitors the most was that not only did the soldiers of the Second Legion express their absolute support, but the soldiers of other legions also expressed their support.
"Some say General Lin removed the Second Legion commander in order to advance. Even if that's true, are all the scandals Brian committed false? Even if he was removed, the competition is so fierce. They were all grateful when they were rescued, but now they turn against each other in the struggle for power. Their faces are truly disgusting."
"To put it bluntly, it's just a family affair. Who would want the power of the Legion to fall into the hands of General Lin, who came from a grassroots background?"
"They only give military ranks without giving people the right to do so. Then they ask those in the rear who can match General Lin's achievements this time. They say we shouldn't promote personality cults, but that's simply because the one we're worshipping isn't the highest-ranking one."
"I didn't expect that even the legion would become like that. People get promoted not by their military achievements, but by their qualifications and family background."
"But if it's all based on military merit, then when the critical moment comes, everyone will be scrambling for merit, and no one will care about cooperation."
"You're not right. When a team goes out, doesn't the entire team get the credit for the victory?"
The controversy on Starnet was so huge that even if some families tried to suppress it, they could not stop its popularity, not to mention that the An family and the royal family took action at the same time. Under such circumstances, the position of the Second Legion Commander had undoubtedly become a volcano.
When the situation was at a stalemate, Lin Su submitted data about the new energy gun to the military, which immediately triggered public opinion. Even the most shameless legion commander could not have the nerve to oppose Lin Su's promotion while trying out this new and more powerful weapon.
Due to this difficult situation, the appointment of the commander of the Second Legion was put to a vote by the parliament. With popular support, Lin Su won the position of commander of the Second Legion with an absolute advantage.
The title was awarded, the authorization was granted, and everything was settled.
As soon as he came to power, he began to vigorously integrate the relationships within the Second Legion, investigate and punish those with stains, reward those who had made meritorious service in combat, and promote capable people to positions. In a short time, the atmosphere in the Second Legion became clear.
"A new official is always quick to make a move," the First Legion commander said after a pause upon hearing the rumors. "He's truly not afraid of those families targeting him again."
The adjutant stood opposite him and said, "It is said that the Second Legion is developing new weapons again."
"The weapons that destroyed the last Zerg swarm haven't been redeveloped yet, and he's already started developing new ones?" The First Legion Commander removed the new energy gun from his waist and looked down at it. It had to be said that after military testing, this new energy gun was much more powerful than the original one. Due to its superior attack and more stable performance, it was already replacing the old energy gun. Whether this man was hiding something or not was unknown, but he was definitely thinking about the Empire. "I kind of regret not establishing a closer cooperative relationship with him."
