"Elect a new head of Michael's knights..." Leica murmured, "this is really a great state affair that can't be careless..."

Although Leica has no culture, she still knows some basic information about the three Knights of the British Empire.

Before the "288 defense battle against the north" two years ago, the Michael knights were the "strongest knights" of the British Empire, and their total combat power was the strongest among the three knights.

Unfortunately, after the fierce "288 defense war against the north" two years ago, although the final victory forced the Holy Hiran Empire and the britannian Empire to sign a truce treaty, the Michael Knights have also been maimed. Not only less than 100000 people remain, but also the head and deputy head have died.

In recent years, the focus of the Empire has been on the East and south, and there is no time to take into account the Michael Knights stationed in the north. Therefore, the Empire has not had the energy to rebuild the Michael knights in the past two years.

Michael's order has maintained such a disabled state with no head and no recruits for two years until now.

"Ah, store manager." Leica asked Owen again in a curious tone, "if you really want to hold a round table to elect a new head of the Michael order, who do you think the new head of the Michael order will be?"

"I really don't know." Owen said angrily, "store manager, I'm not a know it all. There are so many powerful knights in our empire. Who knows who will choose to take over the position of head of Michael's knights? Most of them choose some old Knights aged 30, 40 or over 50 who have rich combat and management experience to take over the position of head of Michael's knights."

"My old friend Ethel took over as head of the order of Gabriel in his thirties, and Albert, the current head of the order of Rachel, became head of the order of Rachel eight years ago, when he was 38."

Speaking of this, Owen said for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and then continued:

"In the past, it must have been some middle-aged and old knights who took over the position of head of the knights, but now, it's hard to say. Now, even if I suddenly let a kid with an age of 1 take over the position of head, I won't feel strange and confused."

Carol, who has never been very talkative, has not been inserted into the conversation between Owen and Leica since the beginning. She has always just listened quietly.

However, after hearing the words "even if a kid who is still 1 years old suddenly takes over as the head" from Owen, Carol's beautiful eyebrows trembled slightly imperceptibly.

Then, Carol, who had been silent since the beginning, finally asked Owen:

"Uncle Owen, why wouldn't you be surprised to let a young man who is still 1 years old take over as the head of the knights?"

"Well, because today's Imperial Palace is Jacob Churchill. Jacob Churchill, you two should know who it is? "

As soon as Owen's voice fell, Leica and Carol both nodded.

Although she usually doesn't pay much attention to national affairs, Leica still knows who Jacob Churchill is.

Carol not only knows who Jacob is, but also has seen him with her own eyes, because Jacob once came to their house to talk to Su Cheng. Carol also knows that Jacob and Su Cheng have a very good relationship.

Seeing Leica and Carol nodding, Owen smiled twice and said:

"If you know who Jacob is, it's easy to do. Then I don't have to introduce Jacob to you."

"However, although you know who Jacob is, you should not know some of Jacob's administrative characteristics?"

After that, Owen looked at Leica and Carol with questioning eyes again.

As Owen expected, Leica and Carol shook their heads this time. Neither of them knew what Jacob's administrative characteristics were.

After seeing the two shook their heads, Owen took the water cup aside, drank water and moistened his throat. After being ready for a long speech, Owen said:

"The governance feature of Jacob's palace minister is to be meritocratic. As long as you have talent, you will be promoted vigorously regardless of your origin and age."

"Do you two know Humphrey walker?" Owen once again threw a question at Leica and Carol.

"Humphrey..." Leica muttered the next name, "I seem to have heard this name..."

Compared with Leica's confusion, Carol showed an expression of Enlightenment:

"Humphrey? I know him. He's the governor of the north, isn't he? A very powerful man. "

After hearing what Carol said, Owen nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Then he turned his head and said to Carol:

"Well, Carol, you know the name of the governor of the north. Many people don't even know who Humphrey is."

While saying this, Owen also glanced at Leica nearby.

After being swept by Owen's eyes, Leica showed a faint color of shame on her face and gently scratched her hair.

"In fact, I will know that Humphrey is the name of the governor of the north, not because of how knowledgeable I am, but simply because my hometown is in the north." Carol smiled sheepishly, "when I was a child, when the whole village moved from the holy Helan Empire to the Britannia Empire, they moved to the north of the Britannia Empire, and then settled down until now."

"Hey?" Leica looked at Carol with interest. "Carol, your hometown is in the north?"

"Well, yes, my hometown is just an ordinary village. It is now located in a remote place in the north."

When it comes to this, Carol paused for a moment, with a look of memory on her face, and then said to herself in a voice that only she can hear:

"I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time... I'll go back to the north to see my parents sometime..."

Just as Carol was talking to himself, Owen said again:

"Yes, as Carol said, Humphrey walker is the name of the current governor of the north."

"Humphrey - he was promoted by Jacob's palace minister."

"Let me see... Humphrey seemed to have become the governor of the Northern Territory 10 years ago. Ten years ago, Humphrey was 47 years old, and he was already a very old man."

"Before Humphrey was promoted by Jacob to governor of the north, Humphrey was just an ordinary 'horse trainer' in the north."

"Although the name 'horse trainer' sounds very powerful, in fact, his duty is only to raise war horses."

"In other words, before Humphrey became governor of the north, he was just a horse keeper."

"In fact, the 'horse training officer' is not a low-level official position. After all, the war horse is a very important strategic resource, so the 'horse training officer' who specializes in cultivating this very important strategic resource will not be a low-level official position."

"However, although the level is not low, it will not be too high."

"At that time, it was time to select a new governor of the Northern Territory."

"At that time, Jacob, who had already become the Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace, fell in love with Humphrey, who was only responsible for raising horses at that time. He thought that he was the governor of the Northern Territory. Therefore, he pushed aside public opinion and forcibly promoted Humphrey directly from an ordinary 'horse trainer' to 'governor of the northern territory'."

"Jacob's decision is said to scare many people, because Jacob's promotion is too crazy. Although there have been promotions at higher levels since ancient times, it's the first time to see people promoted at higher levels."

Speaking of this, Owen found Leica looking at him with a confused face.

"Oh..." Owen said with a bitter smile, "it seems that you don't understand the concept of changing from 'horse trainer' to 'governor of the North..."

As soon as Owen's voice fell, Leica nodded seriously.

"Let me give you an example. From the 'horse trainer' to the 'governor of the northern territory', it is probably similar to you from an ordinary waiter to the mayor of pandragon."
