"...Major General Romanov Nosha, although he has not been promoted to major general for one year, he has made great achievements in the civil war during his tenure and is famous far and wide..."
"Therefore, after discussion and approval at the highest meeting of the headquarters, Marshal Sora approved 2"
"Romanov Nosha, the former major general of the headquarters, is hereby promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the headquarters, transferred back to Marinefando, and reintegrated into the headquarters' combat sequence. The specific position will be arranged separately at that time."
"This appointment will take effect from the date of issuance of the document."
"October 12, 1502 in the Haiyuan calendar"
"Marshal Sora (Seal)"
…………
Does this mean he was promoted to lieutenant general?
After reading the last paragraph, Nuo Xia put the document back on the table, sat down on the sofa chair, crossed his legs, and looked a little uncertain.
"how?"
Taotu looked at his appearance, half-smiling but not smiling, "Obviously you are already happy in your heart. If you want to smile, just grin as much as you want. You don't have to hold it in in front of me."
This nasty little bastard!
Mingming was just a recruit when they first met, but she was already a brigadier general at that time.
But now, just one and a half years later, this guy has actually climbed over his head and become his boss?
The arrogant little rabbit gnashed his teeth angrily and felt a taste of it.
But she didn't want to admit it. Deep down in her heart, she wasn't actually jealous. Instead, she was filled with pride for this transfer order - a lieutenant general who was only twenty years old! This is my man!
"It's really an unexpected surprise."
Nuo Xia looked at her, thought for a while, and then said, "But after thinking about it, I don't want to accept the promotion. Maybe I should contact the headquarters and ask them to take back this..."
"Um?"
Taotu was startled, and immediately stretched out his upper body and pinched his face angrily:
"What are you talking about? Do you know what an incredible achievement it is to become a lieutenant general at the age of twenty? Looking through the history of the navy, there has never been a precedent for someone as young as you!"
"Ah, of course I know this."
Nuo Xia let Taotu rub his cheeks and said helplessly:
"It's just... Brigadier, I stayed in that hellish place in the New World for almost half a year, and finally came back to Xihai. How many days have I stayed here? I really don't want to leave you..."
The facial massage suddenly stopped. Nuo Xia looked up strangely and saw the little rabbit turning his face away. The sides of the fair and beautiful face were stained with a bright red at some point...
After a long time, I heard her muffled voice:
"Just... just because of this?"
"What do you mean, Brigadier?"
Nuo Xia snorted and curled his lips, "Isn't it a sure thing that I can be promoted to lieutenant general in the headquarters in the future? One year earlier and one year later, I will compete for the title of the youngest lieutenant general in history..."
"It doesn't make any sense to me. If I have this leisure, I would rather stay here at the Xihai First Branch, spend more time with you, go skiing and climbing with you, and then make you breakfast every day..."
"The last one is unnecessary."
Taotu finally turned around, her expression returned to normal and natural, "I still want to live a few more years."
"……oh."
Nuo Xia still felt a little unwilling and tried, "Actually, my cooking skills have really improved a lot in the past six months. At least I won't have diarrhea after eating... How about you let me try again?"
"Try you big-headed ghost!"
Taotu couldn't help but kicked him, then sat back on the sofa, looking at the innocent-looking black-haired boy, holding his chin and thinking:
"There is no need to discuss this matter. The exceptional promotion of this department is an affirmation for you. Just accept it."
"As for me..."
She flipped through the documents in her hand and said, "In a year's time, the headquarters will ask me to go back to resume my duties. At that time, another position should be arranged. I will try my best to get it, and there is still a good chance that I can continue to be assigned to a place...
…”
"Eh? Is that okay? What about the first branch?"
"Don't worry, there are people who can take over. Originally, we were temporarily sent to the West China Sea last year because of the unstable situation in the West China Sea."
Taotu raised his head and chuckled, "Now all the pirates who have emerged in the West Sea have been hired by you. There won't be any rising stars in a short time, and there is no need to continue to station such a high-level combat force."
Already..."
This is true.
Nuo Xia deeply agrees with this. Needless to say, his strength goes without saying, and Taotu is also far stronger than the average major general of the headquarters.
The New World and the Grand Line are where she should go. Staying in the West Sea for a long time is really overkill, and this headquarters will not do that.
"That's good. I'll go ahead and wait for you at the headquarters, Brigadier."
Nuo Xia calculated the date, "Well... today is the 13th, and the headquarters has not given a specific departure time limit. This is good. I will leave on the last day before the end of the month, so that I can free up more than half a month to spend more time with you."
It’s your turn…”
"I'm just taking my time, and I'll be blamed by Marshal Kong again. Why, do I look... like someone who needs your company so much?"
Taotu wrinkled the tip of her beautiful nose and snorted slightly.
"Then I leave now?"
Nuo Xia glanced at the port outside the window and said, "Major General Jiaji set off early this morning. He probably hasn't gone far yet. If I chase him with my moon steps, I should still be able to catch him... Hmm, huh?"
"
The words were not finished after all.
Because the little rabbit was so angry that he had already pounced on him and bit his mouth with his cold and soft lips.
Nuo Xia first secretly glanced at Peach Rabbit's tiptoes, and then she was satisfied. She tightly hugged her delicate body with her arms, turned from defense to offense, and kissed back hard...

Mid-October 1502 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The news that twenty-year-old Nosha became a lieutenant general in the headquarters first spread like wildfire within the naval system.
Immediately it spread rapidly and appeared on the headlines of major newspapers one after another, causing another uproar in public opinion around the world.
Countless people are talking about this matter with relish. Romanov Nosha, the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the headquarters, has graduated from the elite camp less than two years ago. He is so handsome that his photos alone can make girls
They have lost their souls...
The combination of various factors made this news become the most lively gossip topic in the streets for many days.
"It's so noisy..."
On Chaili Island in the East China Sea, old Captain Romanov finally sent out a group of colleagues who came to congratulate him.
After returning to the living room, he lit a cigar, sat down at the dining table, and began to complain:
"A bunch of idiots who have never seen the world. Isn't that boy Nuo Xia a lieutenant general? I thought it was such a big deal. It's so early in the morning that people can't live in peace and sleep even if they want to..."
"Oh? Who almost fell from the balcony on the second floor after reading the newspaper last night?"
An angry sarcastic voice came from the kitchen. Tulip, who had just finished washing the dishes, didn't have time to take off her apron. When she saw the swirling smoke, her face suddenly turned dark.
"...This is a cigar, not a cigarette..."
The old Captain Romanov swallowed and said weakly.
"Bring it here."
A cold voice.
"...This is a gift from Colonel Satsuma. I couldn't afford it myself before. This is my first time..." The old captain felt aggrieved like a child weighing more than 200 pounds.
"Three, two..."
"One! What's wrong? You've been scaring me with these three numbers for more than 20 years!"
The old captain suddenly puffed up his chest and said fiercely, "Now that the children have grown up and have become lieutenant generals in the headquarters, I am happy and proud to be a father. What's wrong with smoking a cigarette to celebrate?"
"You really don't want to take it?"
The old man took a deep breath from his cigar and shook his head arrogantly, "This is absolutely impossible!"
One minute later.
The old Captain Romanov was kneeling obediently on his flintlock gun, with three layers of big swelling on his head, and thick smoke rising upwards.
Tulip sat elegantly in front of the sofa, flipping through the newspaper she had read yesterday.
"Ah, he is indeed my son. He is much more handsome."
She didn't seem to care about Nuo Xia's promotion. She just looked at the photo and said with a smile, "If Bellemeier sees this news, he will be happy for several days..."
"Yeah, it's a pity that Bellemere went out on a mission."
The old captain kneeling on the gun sighed with some regret, "That task is quite difficult and time-consuming. No matter how successful it is, it will be December at least when she comes back... Ah! Why are you kicking me?
?”
"Did I give you permission to interrupt?"
Ignoring the old man's screams, Tulip slowly retracted her feet, crossed her legs again, snorted, and her face lost a lot of interest, "Just say something bad."

New World, g1 branch.
"Are you already a lieutenant general?"
Quietly looking at the notification documents sent from the headquarters in the early morning, after a long time, Akainu raised his eyebrows and smiled, with a somewhat pleased look on his face, "What a terrible junior..."
At his age, he has still not even stepped through the door of the Navy Headquarters, and has not yet become a disciple of Teacher Zefa.
A twenty-year-old Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters.
In the past year or so, he has defeated William Shichibukai, Drought Du Galileo, and tied with Katakuri...
Akainu suddenly shook his head and sighed.
If only there were a few more guys like this in the navy, why would the pirates on this sea be so rampant and arrogant? Why would their navy have to be exhausted and stretched thin in this era of great pirates...
but.
Maybe one is enough?
Akainu narrowed his eyes and focused his gaze on the document again. In the ID photo, Nosha smiled gently at the camera.
But he knew that this seemingly approachable black-haired boy was actually as ruthless as him in his heart, and he had never been merciful to pirates...
As long as he is given enough time to grow up, who can predict how much success this guy who has just turned 20 will achieve in the future?
"I'm looking forward to that day..."
He whispered to himself, "I hope you won't disappoint me, Romanov Nosha..."
——————————
Paradise, g2 branch.
"What's wrong with this?"
When Major General Bulma went out after breakfast, he saw his deputy, Ghost Spider, who had just been promoted to brigadier general, squatting there numbly, holding a newspaper in his hand, his eyes dull, and his expression suspicious of life.
"After reading the news that Mr. Nosha was promoted to lieutenant general, it became like this."
Another female brigadier general couldn't help but chuckle, "It must be that the blow was too serious. It seems that when Lieutenant General Noxia was still in the elite camp, Ghost Spider was already a colonel, and the two of them even competed.
, he had been working hard these days, thinking he could catch up, but he didn’t expect that the gap has become wider and wider now..."
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Major General Bulma became interested, "Who won?"
"It goes without saying..." the female brigadier general shrugged, "it must be Mr. Nosha."
"..." Ghost Spider raised his head and glared at her fiercely.
"Ah? Did I accidentally hit you again?"
The female brigadier general pretended to be shocked, then looked at Major General Bulma with a suppressed smile, and begged:
"Hey, I'm so bad...Major General Bulma, you are his immediate superior. Say something quickly to comfort him..."
"Well, don't worry, this is what I should do."
Bulma nodded, came to the ghost spider, reached out and patted his shoulder gently, comforting:
"Don't take it too seriously. The differences between people are destined by nature. Think of the good things. Don't forget that you also have something to be proud of."
The ghost spider looked at her blankly, his dilated pupils gradually regaining their energy.
Before he could express his gratitude, Bulma heard him speak quietly again:
"For example, when others talk about Nuo Xia in the future, you can at least proudly stand up and say that you were defeated by him personally..."
Ghost Spider was so angry that he almost lost his life on the spot.
At the same time, hundreds of meters away, in the office on the top floor of the fortress.
The wretched old man in a yellow striped suit was leaning on the railing with his legs crossed, worrying about the newspaper in his hand.
"It's so scary..."
Kizaru rubbed his temples and said distressedly, "You are only twenty years old. Just like me, you have become a lieutenant general in the headquarters. Are you on equal footing..."
Damn it.
Doesn't this mean that he will never have the chance to bring Nuo Xia to the G2 branch and make him his subordinate?
Kizaru felt a moment of regret.
If I had known earlier that when the headquarters held the awarding ceremony, I should have run over to watch the ceremony, and along the way, I would have been trying hard to impress Teacher Zefa and Marshal Kong, so why did I have to let this guy be assigned...
-Look back.
A large pile of information documents stacked on the desk was flipping slightly with the sea breeze. Kizaru struggled for a long time, and finally sat back down behind the desk with a constipated look on his face...
————————
The news continues to fly all over the sky.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of October.
Nuo Xia, who had been delayed for more than ten days, finally had no choice but to leave after the third urging call from the headquarters. He reluctantly said goodbye to Taotu who came to see him off at the port. "Goodbye, Brigadier!"
After the last hug, Nuo Xia smiled and said, "Don't be too sad, it's only two months apart. We will meet again at Marineland at the beginning of next year!"
"..."
Taotu pursed her lips, nodded and smiled.
The two of them waved goodbye, and among the countless navy soldiers who spontaneously came to see him off, and the people walking by to see him off, Nuo Xia finally boarded the warship and left in the sunset.
At this point, he left Xihai, where he had served for exactly one year, and embarked on his way back to the headquarters.
