The Flying Zealander has seen some personnel changes.
The officer who was originally responsible for commanding the navigation has been demoted by Ella and is now leading a few soldiers to look after the supplies in the supply warehouse. The first mate on the ship was temporarily promoted to captain by Ella.
In addition, in Ella's cabin, there are currently sitting Ella, Amy, Dust, and three other pirate officers who Ella transferred from the army. These people have almost no connection in terms of positions, so apart from
Except for Ella, everyone else looked confused and didn't know what this was going to do.
But Ella nodded on the chair: "Everyone is here. Although you probably all know each other, I still want to introduce you."
With that said, she stood up, walked to the first pirate, took his arm and introduced to everyone:
"Estrade was originally a general under Ragnar. He has rich navigation experience and has participated in many land battles. He has natural-level magic. In the past three years, he has been just a junior sergeant, but I
Decided to re-enable him."
After speaking, she walked to the second pirate and introduced to everyone:
"Halmar was originally part of my personal guard. When he attacked Otto's castle, he successfully organized an army from the serfs in the city, and used this army to defeat one of Otto's regular troops.
Both his eloquence and leadership skills are excellent. I have wanted to promote him for a long time."
Then comes the third pirate:
"Ulf was originally a centurion, a student of the academy, with excellent grades. During the naval battle in Azov City, he poured the lime water he secretly carried on a ship of Andrea's fleet, causing the sailors on the ship to
Skidded. Our army was completely defeated. Only the ship he commanded captured a few prisoners from Andrea. He is a very flexible guy. I am very optimistic about his growth. "
"And Amy - I won't introduce you. Daxter, my master, although he sometimes gets drunk and gets into trouble, he is very powerful in some places, so I will also include him. Together, there are five people in total,
You will form a new department."
"So, Your Majesty, what department is it?" Amy asked curiously.
"Let me guess!" Dast raised his hand excitedly: "Are you planning to set up a new department and make me a general?"
Ella coughed: "Not a general, but equally important. The five of you will form the staff. Except for Amy, who will also serve as the chief of staff in the original position, the work of the other three will be transferred, and the identity of each of you will be changed.
Will become a staff officer and serve in the staff department."
"Advisor?" The pirates didn't quite understand, "Do you mean the deputy general?"
"You are not a lieutenant general." Ella explained, "You do not have an army that you can command. But your role is much more important than that of a lieutenant general, because you are directly subordinate to me, assist me in formulating combat plans, and hand them over to the generals for execution.
."
"We help the King of Sweden formulate a battle plan?" Many people present were a little flinched, "How dare we?"
"Yesterday, the Flying Zealander almost encountered a shipwreck. There were so many experienced sailors on the ship, and the Flying Zealander was such a strong ship. In fact, the risk could be completely avoided. But in the end, there was no
People give me appropriate advice.”
Ella looked seriously and glanced across everyone's faces.
"You must know that I will make mistakes, I will not consider things well, and I will have things I don't know. You must know that the plans I make are by no means perfect, and it is your job to help me make them perfect.
It is also the power I give you; you must know that I am not God, and this is the most important thing you must remember in this position."
"So," one of the pirates asked cautiously, "it's our job to advise you?"
"Not just to me. When I am away, the person who has the authority to command the army is your Chief of Staff Amy, and you must also provide her with advice - even if I am present, when all the rest of you have the same opinion, as a staff officer
If Chief Amy also agrees, your decision will be conveyed to the entire army instead of my opinion. I grant you such power."
Granting others the power to oppose themselves is probably something that no king in history has dared to try. But the person who has this power is Amy, and Ella feels very relieved.
And Amy also understood that half of this department was set up for her. She had the power to mobilize the army when Ella was away, but she believed that her ability was insufficient. And these four people were allocated by Ella
Her right and left arm.
"My commander is also a very outstanding person." The young pirate named Hjalmar hesitated, "I'm afraid he is more suitable to serve as your adviser to the King of Sweden than me."
"After all, you don't have direct military power. For your commander, working here is not a promotion. I don't want the army to have large-scale personnel changes because of this department, so I only select some flexible minds from junior officers.
Guy."
"That's it." Yalmar nodded and said nothing more.
"Then it's time to think." Ella sat back on the chair and pointed to her head, "Think carefully, and then start your first job - what arrangements do you have for this staff department?
Any opinions?"
The pirates looked at each other. After a while, they lowered their heads and replied: "We have no objection. Thank you to the King of Sweden for the promotion."
"No objection? Are you sure?"
Ella asked again. Seeing that the pirates still didn't speak, she shook her head in disappointment and said:
"I asked you to come here to help me with my ideas, not to say 'I have no opinion'. My army does not support idlers. Since your brains are unwilling to work, then use your physical strength to work -",
As she spoke, her eyes widened:
"Go and run a hundred laps on the deck! Don't stop until you finish!"
"No, no, there is a little problem!" Dust shouted in fright, "I have an opinion! I have an opinion!"
"Oh?" Ella looked at Dust with interest, "Master, what did you say?"
"King of Sweden, you have a problem with the number of people in your staff!" Dast said, counting on his fingers. "Think about it, including Amy, there are five of us. King of Sweden, there is no problem when you are here. But King of Sweden, you are not here.
, the problem arises when Amy is asked to take charge of the meeting! In that case, we will only have four people, even numbers. Amy is not like you, the King of Sweden, who can easily make up his mind on military operations. What if she wants to do something?
What should we do if we vote and then the two sides are tied again? We can’t just rely on guessing, right?”
"Well, that makes sense."
Ella laughed.
"The solution is quite simple. Amy is the chief of staff, and I will appoint you, Dust, as the deputy chief of staff. When it comes time for Amy to preside over the voting, you will get one weighted vote."
After saying that, she looked at the remaining three people meaningfully:
"I deliberately left this position vacant, just to reserve it for the first person to put forward an opinion."
The three pirates lowered their heads, deep in thought.
"Then what follows is the first real work of the general staff." Ella became serious, "Atlantis is right in front of us, how should we deal with it?"
