Chapter 471: The Final Battle at the Forbidden City (Part 2)
King George V looked at the Enterprise. He really couldn't think of any reason why the Enterprise would oppose him.
Could it be that he thinks the benefits she gives are too little?
But she has made a lot of promises, and she really can't make more.
Or maybe he simply doesn't believe her verbal promise.
No matter what happens, we will just deal with it. King George V of England said, "What advice do you have for the Enterprise?"
"No advice," Enterprise said, waving his hand. "Just a few comments."
"You can say it at will." King George V of England spread his hands towards the Enterprise.
"Then I'll be frank." Enterprise grabbed the pen and asked, "Qiao Wu, you just said that if you become the secretary ship, you will arrange for Zeppelin to be the Minister of Education of our garrison, right?"
King George V of England didn't know what Enterprise wanted to say. She looked at Zeppelin and found that Zeppelin was looking at her. She absolutely couldn't back down at this time, so she said, "Yes... Don't you think Zeppelin is very good at teaching and educating people, and is very suitable for that position?"
"I admit that Zeppelin is good at teaching, but there are many others who are as good at teaching as her." Enterprise thought for a moment and said, "Langley, Argus, Katori, Nuremberg, etc. So, how can the Minister of Education make the decision so easily?"
"Enterprise thinks I can't be the Minister of Education of the tutelary fort?"
Zeppelin rested his elbows on the table, holding his cheek and speaking sinisterly.
King George V of England laughs.
I always thought that you were a great company, but it turns out you are just so-so. Aren’t you really afraid of offending people?
"I didn't mean to say that Zeppelin can't be the Minister of Education. What I meant was..." Enterprise paused, "There are many people who can be the Minister of Education besides Zeppelin... Even if the people I just mentioned, such as Langley, Argus, Katori, and Nuremberg, are not suitable, Aurora is definitely not worse than Zeppelin. Aurora has been an instructor for a long time, and compared to Zeppelin, she is completely non-aggressive and can serve as the Minister of Education wholeheartedly."
"I don't think Aurora is better than me." Zeppelin said sincerely.
"I don't think Aurora is better than Zeppelin." Enterprise twirled the pen. "I just want to say that the Minister of Education needs to be discussed and the decision cannot be made so easily."
Zeppelin snorted coldly. Even she had to admit that Aurora had been an instructor for a long time. Although she didn't have many students, she was definitely capable and was really suitable to be the Minister of Education in all aspects.
"Besides that." Enterprise turned to Lexington, "I doubt whether Lexington is really suitable to be the admiral's personal secretary and take care of the admiral's daily life."
Lexington stared at the Enterprise with an unhappy expression. She was also very confident and really wanted to be the admiral's personal secretary and ensure that she took good care of the admiral.
"You think Lexington is not okay?" King George V of England instigated.
"Lexington is undoubtedly a good wife, but when it comes to taking care of people, I think she is still not as good as those professionals." Enterprise said, "Maid Reputation, Maid Sister Counterattack, or Flower Maid Shropshire, or even Germany..."
"But Prestige is the head maid, and there is Hood who needs to be taken care of. It is not convenient for her to be a full-time personal secretary for the admiral." Enterprise thought for a while and said, "Counterattack is the personal maid of the Prince of Wales, and she also has a job. Then Shropshire is your little maid, King George V of England, and it is okay to let her take care of your daily life. As London's sister, I really don't feel at ease to let her manage the admiral's meals. Finally, Deutschland is still a child..."
"You yourself said they are not suitable." King George V of England said, "So is there any problem with me letting Lexington be the admiral's personal secretary?"
"There is a problem, a big problem." Enterprise said, "Because there are more than just a few maids in the garrison, the admiral already has a maid and a personal secretary."
"The admiral already has a maid and a personal secretary, how come I didn't know that?" King George V of England said with a frown.
"It's Tianlong and Longtian." said Enterprise.
Su Xia found that everyone was looking at him. He thought about how he ran to Tianlong and Longtian to apologize to them, and casually invited the two to be his maids. Tianlong readily agreed, and he nodded.
"Admiral, you hardly ever go back to your bachelor apartment in Guanhai Tower now," said King George V. "What do you need two maids for?"
"Admiral, you are staying in this person's room today and that person's room tomorrow. You haven't returned to the room in Guanhai Tower to spend a night recently, right?" Missouri asked.
Su Xia laughed dryly. He didn't know how to explain it, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't ask why. Just know this... Now it's an interview. The interview is important. We can talk about other things later."
"Enterprise, please continue." Su Xia urged.
"Then let me continue..." Enterprise said, "The admiral has more than a hundred wedding ships in total. If each person stays in a room for a day, several months will pass. There is no need for a dedicated maid. Even if there is a need, there are Tianlong and Ryuta... Admittedly, Ryuta is not that serious, but Tianlong is very reliable... In other words, there is no need to trouble Lexington."
Lexington was silent.
"Even if Tianlong and Longtian were originally maids of the admiral, it doesn't mean that they can't be replaced. The capable ones should be promoted and the mediocre ones should be demoted, right?" King George V insisted that the promise must not become empty talk. "We can just have a competition when the time comes... I believe Lexington can defeat Tianlong and Longtian."
King George V of England was sure that Lexington could understand her hint. Her meaning was simple. As long as there was a competition, she had ten thousand ways to ensure that Lexington would win over Tianlong and Longtian.
Lexington made no comment.
"Let's talk about the Wisconsin issue again," Enterprise said.
"What's my problem now?" Wisconsin asked. "I've been the treasurer for so long. Has there been any problem with the garrison?"
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with you being the finance officer, Wisconsin." Enterprise said, "I mainly wanted to discuss this with King George V... The secretary ship's role is to assist the admiral, and communicating with the finance officer should be the secretary ship's job, just as before. The admiral only needs to worry about the big things and make decisions."
"And Washington does a great job in legal affairs, but there is really no need to communicate with the admiral every day. The admiral really doesn't have that much time." Enterprise's eyes fell on Washington.
Enterprise sees Missouri again.
Missouri laughed and said, "Enterprise, take it easy... It's fine if you're against so many people, but you're also against me, your only friend? Aren't you really afraid of being deserted by everyone?"
"I'm speaking the truth," Enterprise said. "We only have one garrison, and we don't sell any merchandise. Why do we need a propaganda minister?"
Missouri leaned back in his chair with his hands on the back of his head.
Enterprise then looked at Akagi, then South Dakota, Thirteen, and finally Lion and the Prince of Wales, bluntly stating that everyone was incompetent or unsuitable for the position mentioned by King George V of England.
"Enterprise thinks my proposal is unreliable..." King George V of England said with a smile, "Enterprise, tell me, if you were asked to be the secretary ship, what would you do?"
"If I were to be the secretary ship..." Enterprise thought for a moment, "the overall structure would remain unchanged. It would remain the same as before, with Wisconsin in charge of finance, Washington in charge of legal affairs, and Leipzig still in charge of the warehouse, instead of removing Leipzig and replacing it with South Dakota or Akagi."
"I prefer Victory to be the Minister of Education, but Victory is the admiral's assistant. In that case, I will choose between Aurora and Zeppelin... No, anyone who wants to be the Minister of Education can apply. I will make a decision after discussing with everyone in detail."
"The admiral usually stays in the garrison. Today he stays in this person's room, tomorrow he stays in that person's room. Naturally, there will be someone to take care of him, so he doesn't need a personal secretary at all." Enterprise said, "Occasionally he goes out to the shipgirl headquarters, Tianlong and Ryuta are more than capable of doing it... We still have to wait until the time comes to make a decision on the specific situation."
"We don't need a propaganda minister, but we do need a program planner, who is mainly responsible for arranging activities on weekdays and holidays." Enterprise said, "If we want the port area to be filled with laughter, programs on weekdays are definitely indispensable."
King George V of England waited for the company to speak up and gave the program planning position to her good friend Missouri.
"Missouri likes acting, so she'd be best at being an actor, but I'm afraid she's not good at being a planner." Enterprise shook his head slightly. "To be honest, I don't have any ideas about planning. I don't know who would be more suitable... The planner must have a big imagination, be able to come up with new ideas, and be patient, because it's a tedious job."
King George V of England twitched his lips and thought to himself, you are giving up even your good friend Missouri, just wait and see who will help you then.
Regardless of how King George V viewed her, Enterprise continued, "It just so happens that the gaps between the various factions are too deep. To resolve this gap, everyone must have more contact and must use various activities to bring everyone together... although it is difficult."
"In short," Enterprise said, "at work, we should select the most talented, and in life and entertainment, we should let a hundred flowers bloom... As for the admiral, as a secretary ship, I can only guide you. Work is important, but life is more important."
"Are you done?" asked King George V.
"That's all for now." Enterprise said, "If I want this port to be filled with everyone's laughter, I can't do it alone. I need everyone's opinions."
As the company's speech ended, the crowd of onlookers became agitated.
"No, no, you are so incompetent, Enterprise." York City had some insight, but only a little.
Bumblebee asked in confusion, "What's wrong with my second sister?"
"Can't you see?" Yorktown said, "This time the interview is not scored by the admiral or the Victory examiner, but by the candidates scoring each other. If you were Lexington or Missouri, and King George V of England promised you a position as personal secretary or propaganda minister, but the company gave you nothing, who would you choose?"
"It should be King George V of England." Bumblebee said subconsciously.
"That's it," York said. "The company doesn't give anything, so why should we ask people to choose her?"
"Really? I can see it, but why can't the companies see it?" York City shook his head and said, "Promises? How can they not make promises? For example, a politician promised to give everyone welfare benefits, money, oil and rice every month as long as he becomes president in order to get votes."
Bumblebee thought.
"Bumblebee, what are you thinking about?" Yorktown asked curiously.
"If the eldest sister can see it clearly, can the second sister really not understand it?" asked Bumblebee.
"If she can see clearly..." York City questioned, "Why did she say that?"
"I don't quite understand." Bumblebee said, "Sister, which one do you think is better, King George V's proposal or my second sister's proposal?"
"Needless to say, it must be the enterprise." York City said as a matter of course, "King George V of England is dividing the cake, and the enterprise is truly for the good of the garrison and for the garrison's consideration."
"Even you can see that Second Sister's proposal is for the good of the tutelary fort..." Bumblebee said, "How could Lexington and the others not see that?"
Yorktown tapped Bumblebee on the head and said, "Don't keep saying things like 'even you can see that...' It makes me look bad... Everyone should be able to see that the problem is that there is no benefit. If there is no benefit, who will speak for you?"
"Anyway, I want benefits," York City said, "Don't expect me to help you without benefits."
"Fortunately, you are not sitting at the conference table... You must have benefits, but Lexington and the others may not." Bumblebee had just finished speaking when he was hit on the head by Yorktown.
"Am I wrong?" Bumblebee questioned.
York City was silent.
"If everyone is as profit-seeking as my sister," said Bumblebee, "how can we win the admiral's favor?"
Yorktown fell into deep thought.
The interview is still going on, and many people haven't spoken yet.
Lion is not just a tool of King George V of England, she has her own ideas.
How could Akagi gain his fame for nothing?
It was rare that Missouri barely spoke during the entire event.
The entire third phase of free discussion lasted more than one hour and nearly two hours. Everyone was able to fully express their opinions and reach a consensus through discussion.
Then in the fourth stage, marking, each candidate marks themselves and others.
After a busy summary, Su Xia finally announced the answer.
Su Xia looked at everyone staring at him eagerly, coughed and said, "The first place in this interview is——"
He decided to keep it a secret.
King George V of England smiled. She was sure that she was the first in the interview. The first in both the written test and the interview would surely make her the secretary. At this time, Su Xia's voice sounded again——
"Enterprise."
"Why is it the Enterprise?" King George V of England stood up suddenly, incredulous. "Shouldn't it be me? Admiral, are you mistaken?"
Su Xia looked at King George V of England and said with a smile, "Don't you know George V?"
"Know what?"
"The enterprise is truly devoted to the tutelary fort!"
