Chapter 489: The Designated Marshal

After the uproar, the entire hall was extremely quiet.

The senior officials of the General Political Yuan didn't look very good.

But no one dared to refute.

In the Great Yan Empire, almost all matters, large and small, are formulated and promulgated by the General Political Council.

Yi Chen, the great emperor of the Great Yan Empire, was just a hands-off shopkeeper who didn't bother to take care of anything.

But no matter what the situation, Yi Chen's attitude is the core will of the Great Yan Empire.

When Yi Chen only revealed that he should treat the Black Tiger Clan forcefully.

Although the senior officials of the General Political Council felt that it was not appropriate to provoke conflicts at this stage and should deal with the rebellion of Chief Jin Jun in a low-key manner, they still had to adopt the strongest attitude and set up a situation to cause conflicts between the senior officials of the Black Tiger clan and the clan members. This will curb the possibility of a large-scale rebellion within the Black Tiger Clan within a short period of time.

At the moment, Yi Chen directly expressed his intention to reform the military.

No one among the senior officials of the General Political Yuan dared to object.

They were all high-level officials who followed Yi Chen from the exiled planet when the Great Yan Empire was still just the Yanshan tribe.

He knows Yi Chen's character very well.

This great emperor delegated almost all power. Even in terms of divine power, he still made the high priest concurrently responsible and never interfered in the slightest.

He would not intervene or correct some decisions made by the General Council and the military that he was not satisfied with as long as they did not seriously affect the development speed of the Dayan Empire.

But when this hands-off boss really makes a major decision, any opponents will be eliminated immediately.

The emergence of the military department is equivalent to carving up half of the power of the General Political Council.

In the past, although the military was considered independent of the General Council, the situation was somewhat similar to the military of the Human Federation. It had certain autonomous powers, but its level was lower than that of the General Council.

The General Political Council can interfere with the military's decision-making and even formulate various strategic plans for the military, but the military has no right to interfere with the General Political Council's decision-making. Even when there is a conflict between the two parties, the General Political Council's decision-making will prevail.

Now, the military department has a marshal with the same rank as the high priest, and the staff department has completely replaced the reason why the General Council can intervene in military affairs.

This means that the General Political Council has no right to interfere with all future affairs and decisions of the Military Department.

Even if the two sides overlap in terms of military recruitment and resource allocation, it is only the General Political Council and the General Staff Department that negotiate and coordinate.

The senior officials of the General Political Council will not only have their power greatly weakened, but they will also face many conflicts with the military in the future.

Of course they are not willing.

They can also find numerous counterarguments.

For example, if the military department has too much power and controls the army, there should not be a marshal-level presence.

For example, if the military department is completely independent, many irreconcilable conflicts will arise with the General Political Council in all aspects.

But no matter how unwilling they were, no matter how many reasons they had to refute, no one dared to stand up and object.

On the other side, the four leaders of the military also had headaches.

The military is independent and not subject to the constraints of the General Political Council, which is of course a great thing.

But in turn, Yi Chen's restructuring had an even greater impact on them than on the senior officials of the General Political Yuan.

Because now, although they are still the most powerful beings in the military.

But above the head, there is a temporarily vacant marshal.

On the staff side, even though they serve concurrently, they will have to hand over their positions sooner or later.

Originally, their four leaders had the final say in the entire military.

Such a restructuring is equivalent to having an extra marshal above the head, and the number of existences of the same level has also increased by six.

There are only seven giants in the General Political Council, but the military will have eleven giants, and its power will be significantly reduced.

But similarly, even Gu Li, who had special preferential treatment in front of Yi Chen, did not dare to stand up and object to this matter.

The only ones who were excited were the military leaders.

Because they have the opportunity to go one step further and become one of the eleven giants in the military.

"Since there are no objections, let's implement it as soon as possible. The Great Yan Empire is about to expand, and the military must be established in advance! So far, the General Political Council has been restructured many times and has rich relevant experience. You five army commanders can contact the General Secretary The Political Yuan will help with suggestions.”

Yi Chen waved his hand and announced the end of this discussion.

"yes!"

Since we can't object, we can only try our best to get it done.

All the senior officials of the Great Yan Empire left the hall one after another.

"Congratulations to the Legion Commander!"

The high priest was the first to come to Zhancheng to congratulate him, his face full of intimacy.

Because he was almost certain that Zhan Cheng would be Yi Chen's internally designated military marshal.

It's just that his current military merit is not enough and he is temporarily unable to take office.

This means that Zhancheng will be his biggest external competitor as the President of the General Political Council in the future.

With the character of the high priest, he would have given up after just a few perfunctory words.

But his only son Lou Xing caught a ride on the soaring rocket of War City.

For the sake of Lou Xing's future, he had to find ways to have a good relationship with Zhancheng as much as possible.

While the two were exchanging polite words, other senior officials from the General Political Council and the military also stepped forward to congratulate Zhancheng.

The high priest could guess from Yi Chen's attitude and restructuring plan that Zhan Cheng was the designated marshal candidate, and they could naturally deduce it.

Each one of them, although they were in good or bad moods, still had to try their best to find a way to deal with the relationship with Zhancheng.

Especially the four leaders including Gu Li had mixed feelings in their hearts.

They originally thought that Yi Chen might have taken a fancy to Zhan Cheng and planned to make him the fifth leader.

Unexpectedly, Yi Chen's emphasis on Zhan Cheng was far beyond their imagination, and he actually intended to make Zhan Cheng the marshal of the army.

Recalling that over the years, the General Political Department has undergone several reforms, but the military has always maintained the original status of the four major army leaders moving forward in parallel.

This made them even doubt that Yi Chen intended to make Zhan Cheng the marshal of the military a long time ago.

It was just that during that period, the military only needed to continue to expand, and there were not too many messy things, so it was always in the observation and assessment stage of Zhan Cheng.

Suddenly, an originally inconspicuous subordinate turned into a colleague of the same level, and might even become his immediate superior.

The four leaders found it difficult to accept for a while.

But no matter how difficult it was to accept, they could only find ways to get used to and accept this fact as much as possible.

As for Zhan Cheng himself, he was a little confused.

He did not expect that he would most likely become the first person in the military designated by Yi Chen.

As for the reason, he guessed it when Yi Chen announced the establishment of the General Staff.

The emperor of the Great Yan Empire must have taken a fancy to his ability in strategic layout.

This military restructuring seems sudden, but it is inevitable.

With the official unification of the Bloody Planet by the Great Yan Empire, it is about to embark on the journey of conquering other planets and conquering the major races of the Tianling Galaxy.

It is not enough for the military to just do whatever it points to.

It is also necessary to plan and layout in advance according to the power division, strength and contradictions of the major races in the Tianling Galaxy, and formulate a complete set of strategic deployments to quickly conquer the major races and the Tianling Galaxy.

Only by taking one step and looking three steps ahead can the expansion speed of the Great Yan Empire reach the extreme it should be.
