Chapter 568 Challenging the Rules

After asking several times, no one else stood up and asked to challenge for a higher position.

Jia Zhengjin looked around at the pitifully small number of civil and military ministers in the palace, thinking that this is the distress of talent shortage!

"So, there are only three challengers now?" Jia Zhengjin stood up, "Perin wants to challenge Worf for the position of general; Eden and Amber will challenge Gunter for the position of naval commander. Do you have any objections? Yes Say it now."

"Lord Keen!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Old Harlem, the Minister of Personnel, stood up, "I oppose Amber's challenge for the position of naval commander!"

"Father?!" Amber was happy to see that no one opposed him. Unexpectedly, his biological father suddenly stood up, which caught him off guard.

"Oh?" Jia Zhengjin was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Old Harlem would oppose his son. "Why does Minister Harlem object?"

"That's right! Father, why do you object?" Amber asked anxiously.

Old Harlem didn't even look at his son, and respectfully saluted Jia Zhengjin and said: "Amber is not capable enough, and in my opinion, he is not suitable to be the deputy commander of the navy. Mrs. Keen's love is also due to Mrs. Tina To save face, take care of this idiot brother Amber. Knowing yourself is the most important thing in life, if you don't even know how much you are, you will only make fun of yourself!"

"Father, how can you look down on me like this?" Amber was certainly uncomfortable being belittled by his biological father, "I don't know how hard I practice every day, and my progress is so fast! You just farm the land and never care about me. Combat skills, how can you belittle without knowing the truth?"

"The son is better than the father, I know exactly how much you have!" Old Harlem said with a blank expression.

"you……"

Seeing that the pair of fathers were quarreling in the palace, Jia Zhengjin said that Old Harlem was worthy of recognition, at least in business affairs, he would not favor his son in a practical way. For those who dote on their children, even if they know that they are not capable, at least they will not jump out and oppose so firmly.

"Okay!" He interrupted the conversation between the father and son, so as not to hurt their feelings if they continued to quarrel. Looking around, he continued to ask, "Anyone else object?"

There was silence in the palace.

Jia Zhengjin waited for a few seconds to make sure that no one came out to object, and immediately announced: "Although Minister Harlem objected to Amber's challenge for the post of naval commander, the majority at the scene agreed, so the objection is invalid!"

Old Harlem was neither happy nor sad when he heard this, and nodded expressionlessly.

Amber was overjoyed, and excitedly turned his head and made a victory gesture to his wife Maggie. Maggie responded with a smile, without much excitement.

Jia Zhengjin continued: "Since someone has proposed a challenge, I will immediately start arranging the content of the competition! The military competition will be divided into three items: personal bravery, battlefield knowledge and leadership ability. The challengers must win all before they can replace them! Moreover, personal bravery is the threshold of the test, and it is also the most important round. If the challenger loses in this round, they will be automatically disqualified!"

"Master Keen, this is a bit unfair to the challenger!" Hearing this rule, Prime Minister Gass stood up and said, "For the challenger, a loss is a total loss, and the challenger wins a game is a complete victory." ..."

"The merit-based system selects the overall strength!" Jia Zhengjin said indifferently, "The challenger must have the ability to surpass the incumbent in all aspects, otherwise, the excellence in one aspect is not enough to replace it! For example, personal bravery, no matter how strong you are, Insufficient command ability, lack of management ability cannot make the army obey, and no one executes the military order after it is issued or the execution is ineffective. It is fatal to war! Therefore, it must be surpassed in overall strength before it can be qualified to be replaced! You are only allowed to be challenged once a year, and challengers need to apply every other year."

"Master Keen, why is this?" Gasth asked puzzled.

"Selecting outstanding talents is to do something!" Jia Zhengjin glanced at everyone and said earnestly, "If there is no limit, then there will be more people who challenge, and incumbents deal with challenges all day long, how can they focus on work? So one Only once a year is allowed,

Whether or not they succeed in keeping their jobs, incumbents will have a full year to govern and prove their abilities! "

"Lord Keen is so thoughtful, I admire you!" Ghaith said convincingly.

"Are there any other questions?" Jia Zhengjin asked loudly the civil and military officials below.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. It seems that there is no objection to Jia Zhengjin's regulations.

But at this time Eden stood up: "Master Keen, I have a question!"

"you say!"

"You just said that the incumbent only accepts one challenge within a year!" Eden looked up at him earnestly, "Then Amber and I challenge Commander Gunter at the same time. How should we deal with this?"

Hearing this, Amber immediately looked at Jia Zhengjin, which was what he wanted to know.

"It's very simple," Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Commander Gaunt can only accept the challenge of one person, so there needs to be a competition between the challengers before that, and the winner is eligible to compete one-on-one with Commander Gaunt! However, the challengers are relatively simple, it is purely a contest of force. The winner will be eligible for the challenge, and the loser will return to his post and lose the right to challenge this year!"

"But Lord Keen, why is it unfair to challenge Commander Gunter to win all three rounds, and the challenger will win or lose in just one round?" Eden asked.

"Since you need to win all three rounds against Commander Gunter, and you have already lost the challenger's force contest, how can you continue the next two rounds? If there is no doubt, then I will immediately arrange a challenge contest, and the winner will be decided within today, so that Everyone take office as soon as possible and contribute your strength to Holy Dragon City! Is there any problem?"

"No problem!!" The civil and military officials responded in unison.

"Okay!" After reaching a consensus, Jia Zhengjin turned his head and looked at Ghaith, "Prime Minister, you are responsible for issuing an official document to inform the whole city, announcing the list of the first officials of Sacred Dragon City! And about the merit-based system, we must also explain it clearly to the outside world! And inform the whole city, except for the indispensable teams such as fortresses and patrols, anyone can come to watch the challenge competition of the general and the commander of the navy! There is an additional rule that if the challenger wins in the personal bravery and the second competition If you win, you only lose one game. If the challenged incumbent has weak consent, a referendum can be held! The challenger who can obtain more than three-quarters of the votes can also successfully advance and replace the incumbent!"

"The old minister takes orders!" Ghaith took the pen and paper sent by the soldiers, and immediately began to draft official documents.

"Minister Bakrah!" Jia Zhengjin looked down at the array of civil servants below.

"What orders does Master Keen have?" Bakla immediately stood up.

"As the Minister of the Interior, I will leave the matter of the competition venue to you!" Jia Zhengjin said, "There are many open areas in the Holy Dragon City. It is no problem for you to find the most suitable venue for the competition, right?"

"I will do my best!" Bakla responded respectfully.
