Chapter 76 I, Wood, Lieutenant of the Navy Headquarters!
The gaze of the Warring States Marshal is quite intimidating. Coupled with his serious face and his impressive courage, if he were an ordinary person, he might have been intimidated by his momentum and unknowingly said what the other party wanted to know.
thing.
But who is Wood? In terms of appearance and age, perhaps he can only be regarded as a newbie.
But as a man of two lifetimes, and with the experience of the past few years, he may not be a match for these veterans, but his psychological quality is still quite strong.
"Marshal Sengoku is really joking. There are only two of us on the mission. How can we have more complete information than the Navy Headquarters.
This time, the mission between Colonel Gion and I went very smoothly. After escorting the slaves from the Chambord Islands to the Holy Land of Mariejoia, we immediately left there.
We are also deeply saddened by what happened in the Holy Land Marie Gioia. We did not expect these fanatics to be so arrogant. What is the difference between this and a direct slap in the face of the World Government?
Then on our way back, we met another group of murlocs. We suspected that they might have something to do with the murlocs who were causing trouble in Mariejoia, so we pursued them angrily.
However, it is a pity that the opponent was strong, and there were only two of us, Colonel Gion and I. In the end, they were outnumbered and allowed them to escape successfully, so it was so late that they returned to the Navy Headquarters to report."
"Although we returned to our headquarters many days later than originally planned, we will not make any excuses for this and hope that Marshal Warring States will punish us.
After all, in the name of justice for the Navy, we have no regrets at all about what we have done. If I were given another chance, I would choose to do the same!"
Before Gion could say anything, Wood gave an impassioned unscripted mission report, which had already stunned Gion and Sengoku.
Even Wood's expression of righteousness and clear conscience at this moment made Warring States a little suspicious. Did he guess wrong before? Did the two of them really know nothing about the Holy Land Marie Joa?
However, when he saw Gion next to Wood, who was also looking astonished at this moment, Sengoku looked at Gion without giving up and asked: "Colonel Gion, things are really as this naval soldier said. When you were on your way home,
We encountered a group of fishmen, so the return to the headquarters was delayed?"
Facing Marshal Sengoku's intimidating gaze and astonishing momentum, Gion was obviously no match for Wood in terms of psychological quality and shamelessness.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, this matter..."
"I want to hear Colonel Gion's report on this matter. You are just a third-class private. Reporting mission status to your superiors is usually done by your superiors.
Your behavior just now is considered overstepping, but considering that the mission was completed well, you will not be punished."
Facing Marshal Sengoku's inquiry, Gion finally adjusted his mentality, and looked at Sengoku and nodded seriously: "What my subordinate Wood just said is roughly the situation of our mission.
As for the murlocs we encountered, they even wanted to drill through the bottom of our boat from the bottom of the sea.
If Marshal Warring States wants to know the specific battle, I can write you a detailed report later."
After hearing Gion's answer, Wood on the side secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Gion's words are 70% true and 30% false. They were indeed attacked by fishmen, but they did go to the Holy Land Marie Joa.
It was a bit embarrassing for her to have Gion lie in front of her superiors, but when it came to her real experience, Gion spoke with reason and had a serious look on her face, not wanting to lie.
Although Gion's expression was a little unnatural when he said, "What Wood said is true," it was quite remarkable to be able to do it to this extent.
"Okay, I understand this matter, you should go back and rest.
According to the previous agreement, after the completion of this mission, Colonel Gion, your military rank will be promoted to rear admiral.
As for Private Wood, due to your outstanding strength and the strong recommendation from Gion... the major general, we will make an exceptional promotion for you this time and directly promote you to the rank of lieutenant commander."
After leaving the marshal's office, Wood, who was walking in the aisle, looked at the appointment certificate in his hand, his grin never closed, and he even couldn't bear to look at Gion next to him.
"You're almost done, right? You're just a lieutenant commander at the Navy Headquarters. As for you being so arrogant?
People who don’t know, would think you have become the commander-in-chief of the entire army..."
Gion really felt that Wood had no future. She had just been promoted to rear admiral, but she was not that surprised. She only hoped to become the most powerful admiral in the navy as soon as possible.
Wood obviously has good abilities and a smart mind. Apart from being a bit thick-skinned and having a bad personality, Wood has basically no other shortcomings. Now he is actually complacent about a naval lieutenant colonel...
"What do you know? You only rose one level from Navy Captain to Rear Admiral.
Look at me again, directly from the third class, skipping the second class, first class, corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, a total of eight levels!"
Wood was really happy to be able to become a lieutenant colonel in the navy, because this rank just met his expectations.
That is to say, it meets the requirements for applying to the local branch, and it is a level that is not too conspicuous in the entire naval headquarters.
However, what Wood didn't know was that the rank of "Navy Lieutenant Commander" that flattered him was felt by some to be low.
After Wood and Gion left, in the Sengoku Marshal's office, located in an inconspicuous corner of the room, a man and a woman slowly walked out.
If Wood and Gion were here at this moment, they would be surprised to find that as swordsmen, they had no idea that there were other auras in the room before.
But this is not surprising, because the two people who appeared are not ordinary characters, but Garp and Lieutenant General Tsuru who are very familiar with Wood and Gion.
"Hahahahaha, that kid named Wood is simply a talent. He has good strength and talent. The key is that he is thick-skinned.
In the Warring States Period, you, an old boy, actually let him become a lieutenant commander in the navy. From my perspective, he is already at the level of a general."
Karp is no stranger to Wood, and even Zefa often talks to him about this problematic student.
Through this incident, it can also be confirmed that what my old friend said is true. Wood's strength will definitely not be weaker than Gion, or even stronger!
"Gion lied. What she said was half-truth and half-false, but I am sure that there must be elements of lies in it. The incident about encountering the fish-man should be true.
But they must have been involved in the matter of Holy Land Marie Joa."
Lieutenant General He grew up watching Gion. Gion could deceive others, but he could never deceive He. Although Gion's unnatural expression just faded away, He could see the clues at a glance.
