Federal Presidential Palace, Lin Zhen are also paying attention to this significant selection.
"Establishment Faction was eliminated in the first round by four-fifths of the people. Except for Fujiwara Ayako, all the people who survived were because their opponents happened to be the same people as Establishment Faction. It is simply ridiculous!"
Lin Zhen looked at the first-round selection results sent back by Lin Fan, slapped the desk hard and said, obviously his anger level had reached the limit.
Saunders and Ed sitting across from the desk were also quite speechless.
Although we all knew that Establishment Faction's gang was trash, we didn't expect them to be such trash. The only winner was the little girl from Fujiwara Ayako!
Fujiwara Ayako and the others knew about it. After all, the Fujiwara family was also a top family in the Federation, and it was a military family of the era. The three of them naturally knew about Fujiwara Ayako. After all, she was the only daughter of the current head of the family.
"Actually, I have learned about Fujiwara Ayako. Fundamentally speaking, she cannot be regarded as Establishment Faction. On the contrary, she is actually quite disgusted with Establishment Faction! But you know the family of that ethnic group!"
Saunders explained to Lin Zhen that he knew much more about Fujiwara Ayako than Lin Zhen and Ed, so she was a good friend of his granddaughter Sophia.
Sophia once told Saunders that in the Interstellar Fleet headquarters, there is someone who can compete with him, and that person is Fujiwara Ayako!
Therefore, Saunders once went to understand the situation of Fujiwara Ayako.
"Well, just leave Fujiwara Ayako's affairs to Lin Fan. As I said before, we will not suppress those who are capable, and we will not let him dominate the position if he is incompetent!"
"Now we have to talk about how to deal with these defeated Establishment Faction!"
After Lin Zhen finished speaking, both Saunders and Ed immediately became serious.
"President Lin, I think in addition to Fujiwara Ayako, the other Establishment Faction should be dealt with quickly. We don't have to wait until the third round of selection. It's so embarrassing!"
"What does Marshal Saunders mean?"
"It's very simple. Send a message to Lin Fan and ask him to assign a non-Establishment Faction opponent to all the remaining Establishment Factions in the second round! Let them be completely wiped out in the second round!"
Saunders really can't stand it anymore. If we clean up such a group of embarrassing things quickly, are we still going to make jokes there one after another?
"President, I agree with the old marshal. We can't let them continue to be embarrassed one after another. We must eliminate them all as soon as possible, and then we can clean up quickly!"
"Okay, let's do it like this. I'll contact Lin Fan later! At the same time, you have to start getting ready and make a plan on how to deal with the aftermath after these 500-plus people are cleared away!"
"Understood!"
After discussing the matter, Saunders and Ed also stood up, walked out of the President's Office, and went back to make preparations. If this matter is not handled well, there will be some chaos, so a proper plan must be made.
After the two of them walked out of the office, Lin Zhen contacted Lin Fan and informed them of their decision, so that all Establishment Faction, except Fujiwara Ayako, would be eliminated in the second round.
This is not difficult at all for Lin Fan. Isn't it just a shady secret or a secret operation? Who doesn't know how to do it?
The most important thing is that Establishment Faction is so useless that even Lin Fan can't stand it anymore. It's so embarrassing. It's better to eliminate them all quickly. Don't let them come out again in the next few rounds and embarrass themselves.
You know, these Establishment Faction generals have all been regarded as fat sheep by other people participating in the selection. No matter who comes across them, it is basically equivalent to being recommended for promotion!
Three days later, the second round of commander selection began.
Under Lin Fan's arrangement, there will no longer be a battle between Establishment Faction generals this time.
For a time, a large number of people who were assigned Establishment Faction opponents were all excited, and the same sentence kept flashing in their minds.
"Second round, solid!"
Seeing the excitement of this group of people, other people's faces were full of envy and jealousy! This is simply the same as qualifying with a bye, right?
The second round ended in only three days because there were half fewer people.
Exactly as expected, Establishment Faction was completely wiped out except Fujiwara Ayako!
On the same day, Federal Presidential Palace held a press conference and announced a blockbuster news. The Federation will establish a think tank directly under the Presidential Palace. Its members will all be selected from the Interstellar Fleet headquarters, initially scheduled to be 532 general-level officers!
The people basically paid no attention to this, and a newly established think tank had nothing to discuss at all.
However, many people in Interstellar Fleet have noticed that these 532 people are all Establishment Faction officers who were eliminated after Horton conducted commander selection!
And this think tank is what Lin Zhen said, giving them a decent way to exit. It is basically no different from a nursing home and has no actual rights.
When the news reached Horton, Lin Fan just smiled. This was within his expectations and there was no sense of surprise at all.
He said that when he was beaten by the Oakes Empire to Solar System, he should have started to eliminate these moths long ago, instead of delaying it until now!
A few days later, the third round of selection officially began. The quality of this battle was obviously much higher than that of the first two rounds. After all, there were no more bugs, and there were no weaklings among the others who could make it to the third round.
As for the dozen candidate officers that Lin Fan was optimistic about, except for one who was eliminated by Fujiwara Ayako in the first round, the others still maintained a perfect record of victory.
As for the one who was eliminated by Fujiwara Ayako, it was not because he was weak. Even if he was placed in the third round, as long as he didn't meet Fujiwara Ayako, he would have no problem!
The main reason is because Fujiwara Ayako is too strong. I can only blame him for his bad luck. Of course, if Lin Fan knew in advance that Fujiwara Ayako was so strong, he would not have arranged for them to fight so early in the first place!
By the end of the seventh round of selection, there were only 16 people left out of the original 2,000 people. Except for Fujiwara Ayako, Elio·Reed, and Xia Yu, the remaining 13 people were all from the Star Military Academy, and they were all candidates that Lin Fan had been optimistic about from the beginning.
In the next half month, all of them will have a battle every day, and the top 7 will be determined based on a points system. These 7 people will be officially appointed as the commanders of the First Legion sixth to Twelfth Fleet.
The remaining 9 people will not be wasted. Lin Fan will appoint them as adjutants or chiefs of staff of these new fleets.
When First Legion's fleet expands again in the future, they will be promoted to the position of commander first!
