Macho Wars

At this time, a gendarme came out to issue a notice. The result of the interview will be sent directly to the applicant in the form of a notice three weeks later. If it is not received, it is equal to not being selected. The result of the interview will not be included in the personal file.

Hearing this, everyone was barely relieved.

At the same time, in the examination room, Dragun and General Kane are reviewing the first batch of seventeen trainee officers who were interviewed.

Regardless of personal impressions, Dragon feels that among the first batch of interviewers, those elites are indeed very good seedlings.Frank, who was the first to come in in particular, had a solid basic skills. Once asked, he knew that he worked hard in the military academy, and he did not study hard. Some of the personal opinions he mentioned during the interview were very thoughtful.

But if there is good, there will naturally be bad.

Dragon did not expect that in the first batch of interviewers, there were three show-offs and one who gave the examiner a bribe on the spot.

Dragon expressed his gratitude for the appearance of these hapless children, because they saved Dragon at least an hour.

Among the remaining twelve interviewees, Dragon and Kane have screened out a few who are not good enough, and are expected to leave half of them, that is, eight.And this is the first trial, and in the end only twenty were left selectively.

It's not that Dragon's demand is high, but that the headquarters granted them this number.After all, on the colony side, the entire military area is expanding, and there is a huge gap in officers. Almost all the troops are in need of people, so that the Marines can pick first is the greatest support that the superior can give.

It is worth mentioning that two of the five elite military academies who participated in the interview failed to get into Kane's eyes. One of them was Andrew.

Dragon's evaluation of this cheap brother is quite satisfactory, neither high nor low.Originally, he was going to pass the initial trial first, but the old spicy Kane saw at a glance that this kid had a fatal flaw.

This kid lacks the courage that an officer should have!

Almost all of his answers are from military school textbooks, which seem to have solid basic skills, but in fact they have no personal opinions at all.

There is nothing wrong with letting such a person be a civilian officer or a staff officer, but the Amphibious Marine Corps is a force dedicated to acting as vanguards, and their soldiers often have to rush through the beach with rain of bullets.If an indecisive officer were to be in charge of the front line, his character defect would definitely kill everyone under him.

In this way, Andrew was eliminated in the first round, and he himself did not know at this time.

In the next few days, Dragun interviewed applicants one after another, and found many good seedlings that were valuable for cultivation.

But in the process of this review, Dragon gradually discovered that most of the young officers with outstanding capabilities were of noble origin.Although there are some outstanding young people among officers of civilian origin, the overall quality is indeed not as good as that of nobles.In particular, lack of international perspective, and personally speaking is also slightly inferior.

For this result, Dragon is not surprised at all.Because he knew very well in his heart that the root cause of this phenomenon was not at all like many nobles preached. It was because of their superior bloodlines that they were better than ordinary people.It is the rich and powerful aristocracy that allows their offspring to obtain educational resources that are many times higher than those of ordinary people from the beginning of their birth.

To cite the simplest example, it is also learning to read and write. Commoner children have to wait until they formally enter a public school at the age of six before they can have the opportunity to learn systematically. On the other hand, for noble children, parents will hire tutors when their children are three or four years old. Enlightenment education for one person can complete the content taught in public elementary schools before the age of six.

And the civilian children who have finished the free public elementary school, if they still want to go to middle school, they have to pay tuition, or even work-study for this.After this, high schools are not expensive, and they have to pass exams to compete for those limited high school admissions.

In this way, it is screened layer by layer to the end, only about 10% of the civilian children can enter the higher education institutions, while the noble children can reach more than 70%.

And this is just the obvious difference in academic qualifications between the two classes!Because something more terrifying than not knowing is not knowing that you don't know.

While the students of the common people are still doing housework to share their worries for their parents and work-study to earn high tuition fees, the children of the noble families are already studying and start to develop other hobbies, or follow their parents to meet the world, so as to expand Broaden your horizons.

It is precisely because the aristocratic class has such excellent educational resources, so as long as their children are not the kind of second generation ancestors who are not educated, they can have good personal talents with a little effort.

Chapter 235

After layers of selection, Dragon and Kane finally selected twenty young officers who satisfied them the most.

The notice is expected to be sent out in the third week after the interview. During this period, Kane will arrange for personnel to secretly observe the selected officers in order to further understand the personalities of these people.

After finishing his work, Dragon was finally able to go back and enjoy his unfinished holiday.

As a result, on the third day after he returned home, he saw a piece of news in the newspaper that said it was big or small.

The governor of the colony is finally about to change!

When he first saw this news, Dragone who was eating breakfast was obviously stunned, because in his memory, he hadn’t heard about the governor since he came to the New World until now, so he didn’t even listen to it. To the governor, he did not respond for a long time.

The actual situation is that the governorship of the colonial Darwin province was vacated as early as three years ago with the resignation of the previous governor.

Contrary to the Wilant Kingdom, which sent princes next door, the Sidney Empire generally does not allow members of the royal family to be governors of overseas colonies, but selects a capable minister from the local officials.

But three years ago, the old governor resigned. The governors of the 13 provinces in the mainland were surprised that no one was willing to take over. They shirk each other and didn't want to come to this place.

It coincided that the empire was using foreign troops at the time, and Sidney XIV’s attention was focused on this matter. Therefore, the selection of a new governor of the colony was dragged on until the invasion of the kingdom occurred.

So the emperor was angry after the war and simply left the position of the governor vacant. The central government appointed a "consultant" from the colonial local government to act as governor and lead the reconstruction of the colony.

However, with the discovery of the new giant mine, the colony overnight changed from the smelly shit that no one cares to the fragrant pastry that everyone wants to eat.

Not only the thirteen local governors, but also many princes were ready to move, and they wrote letters to the emperor to recommend themselves, willing to go to the colony to "experience".

How could Sidney XIV not understand the thoughts of these sons, but after thinking about it, no matter who sent him could not reassure him, let alone the noble factions behind those princes.At this time, it was not the governors who wanted to delay, but the emperor who wanted to delay.

We must know that within the political system of the empire, the royal family and the nobles have always maintained a subtle relationship of mutual support and mutual restraint.There are four major factions among the nobles, each of which has formed an interest group, with energy that even the emperor cannot underestimate.

Therefore, out of the need of ruling, the emperor must strive to maintain the balance between the various factions of the nobility, avoiding one of them to become bigger or to unite to fight themselves.

Sidney XIV weighed repeatedly, and finally had to ask his most trusted courtier Howard for help.The old general gave him an idea. Since it is difficult to make a decision, it is better to maintain the status quo in another way.

Anyway, the current consul in the colony did a very good job, so let him go on.As for the issue of insufficient identity, it is completely necessary to find someone who has sufficient identity and will not cause the opposition of all parties to give a name.

So Alicia, the eleventh princess who happened to be in the colony, was appointed as the new governor of the colony in a daze, and immediately began to take office.

And Dragon didn't know how torn the mainland had gone, so although Alicia became the new governor of the colony, although he was a little surprised, he didn't feel anything strange.

At this time, Alicia did not feel ecstatic about the fatness that suddenly hit her hand, as the outside world generally guessed.

She grew up so much. Although she had received an elite education in the court since she was a child, Alicia had absolutely no experience in governance compared to her brothers.Suddenly handing over such a large colony to her made Ashlea feel uncomfortable for a while.

Fortunately, Howard himself, who came up with this idea, is currently in the colony. He comforts his niece, not to worry too much about his lack of ability.

The governor, Earl Nick Tracy, was previously the mayor of Pandora, the capital of the colony. He has an experienced and outstanding governing team under him.With them in charge of the colony, Alicia can rest assured.

The inauguration ceremony of the new governor is expected to be held next week. The venue will be on the square directly in front of the City Hall. At that time, the military and political leaders of the entire colony and representatives of the industrial and commercial circles will attend the ceremony.

Dragon thought that he would only need to go to the square and applaud with everyone, but troublesome things seemed to be found on him.

On the night of the third penultimate day of the inauguration, Xia Li suddenly looked for Dragon in a hurry, and even turned the window into the house late at night, almost starting a fight with Dragoon who thought he was a thief in the house.

Seeing Xia Li coming to see herself so late, Dragon suddenly realized that the matter might be serious, but the other party's first words made him frown.

"Someone wants to assassinate the princess!"

"Assassinated Alicia?"

"Yes."

"Is the information accurate? Is it reliable?"

"I can promise. The group of people who want to assassinate the princess is... my brother's old department."

Speaking of her brother Ellio, Xia Li's expression couldn't help being bitter.And this assassination, to a large extent, was the result of her immaturity.

After the death of the third-generation leader of the Revolutionary Army, Elliot, Xia Li took over the organization and transformed and upgraded the entire organization according to the knowledge that Dragon had imparted to her.
