Chapter 612: It is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuzan's dissatisfaction was visible to the naked eye, and the ice skates even extended from his legs.
If Gawain hadn't been here, Kuzan would never have appeared in front of Sakaski.
In the current navy, not even Sengoku can try to suppress the two of them. Sengoku cannot let them sit together!
If Gawain did not wake up and summon them, Kuzan knew very well that the next time he met Sakaski, it would be a life and death battle between the two!
Because Kuzan knows very well that both he and Sakaski are right, neither of them is wrong, and they are equally determined!!!
Only Gawain is an exception, only Gawain!
Thinking this way, Kuzan frowned and looked at Gawain.
Of course he was not frowning at Gawain. In fact, Sakaski appeared in his peripheral vision, and that figure made him feel sick!
So he turned sideways, avoiding Sakaski's figure, and then said to Gawain.
"Sir, in the past year, there have been countless problems within the Navy, whether it is pensions, recruitment, cooperation with your anti-corruption campaign, or issues with the assessment of general officers and education in training camps.
In short, the war a year ago wiped out the nearly thirty years of hard work and development of the navy.
In the era of Rocks, after the navy ended its fate of being suppressed by Rocks, we accumulated strength for thirty years in steady advancement before we achieved a comprehensive victory against the pirates.
To be comprehensive may be a bit one-sided, because the result of this victory was the disappearance of the navy's heritage.
At this moment, we may really be qualified to hunt down the pirates who have suffered greater losses.
But so what, as long as we always focus on hunting, the pirates will keep coming one after another!
Constantly chasing and killing, when we and the pirates become weaker together, our control over the grassroots will become lower and lower!
Nowadays, we should cooperate with your actions. When you maintain basic public security, we should work hard to assist you in your decision-making and strive to extend your tentacles to more distant places!
Sea trains currently only connect about 40% of the islands in the Grand Line, and only part of the sea train track exists in the East China Sea.
Let our navy join the Black Bird's territory, expand our territory starting from the grassroots and civilians, work hard to completely bring the Grand Route and the four seas under management, and fundamentally dismantle the soil where pirates were born.
This is what we should do now. Today's scarred navy must rely on constant friction with the grassroots and civilians to draw strength!
Instead of knowing that they have suffered heavy losses, they still want to continue to start the war and use more broken families to give back to the civilians who are fighting!
The death of every sailor will lead to greater instability in the grassroots society!
Every broken family will make the common people's dissatisfaction with us even higher!
This is the fact, the real world!
And he, hum!
Sir, he only sees enemies and hatred. Such a bastard who never takes soldiers seriously is not worthy of being the next marshal of this army!"
"Damn!!!"
When Kuzan said this, Sakaski finally couldn't help it anymore.
I saw him holding a cigar that I didn't know when he learned it, and angrily said to Gawain instead of talking.
"Sir, just because you are afraid of the death of your soldiers, do you want to give up the opportunity to capture the poor bandits, and let the enemy hide in the corner, lick his wounds and continue to grow stronger?
It is better to chase the poor bandits with courage than to use the name of the overlord. Although I don’t know who the overlord is, this is what you said when you explained the work to us a year ago, and I will always keep it in my heart!
It is true that our navy did suffer countless losses, but don't forget that it was this loss that caused the enemy to retreat!
Although the pirates are just curling up in the new world and licking their wounds, the security of the new world and the world is indeed much better, but don't forget that today's peace and stability are exactly what we bought with those sacrifices!
Peace has indeed arrived, but the enemy has not completely disappeared. While we are pursuing stability, the enemy is also growing in the corner!
He didn't like to see the pictures of casualties in the navy, and he didn't want to face the relatives and families of the deceased!
But the more we are so gentle, what will happen in the future? When we slowly recover and the enemy regains its strength, the casualties in the next war will be beyond our imagination!
Yes, indeed, the world is a world for the strong, and war is a war for the strong.
But it is never the strong one who wins that determines the ownership of the world, but the desire of everyone on the winning side from top to bottom who can be sacrificed!
If I kill innocent people indiscriminately, huh, then I will go back to Impel Down City and go to the sixth floor to compete with the big pirates who were captured in the past, so that they will not want to live an easy life in prison!
But I always have a clear conscience for my decision and everything I have done in the past!
All sacrifices are made so that we do not have to sacrifice. If blood is destined to be shed, let the blood stay on the scarred people of our generation!
The pirates have not fully recovered yet, the red-haired ship group has not yet been fully integrated, and the red-haired man has not yet gained a stable footing, far from reaching the level of Rocks!
Even if we are scarred, we must conduct a global conscription to let more people with lofty ideals join us, and then use the power of justice in the world to completely eradicate the existence of the so-called thief!
Without the biggest enemy, even if there are still conflicts in the world, they will not spread to millions of people!
Only a quick solution is the solution with the least loss!
Just like offense is always the best defense!!!”
Having said this, Sakaski stood up and knelt heavily on one knee in front of Gawain.
"Sir, the fate of the world is at stake at this moment. I sincerely plead for a fight. Even without the help of the navy and the help of cowards, I can study by myself to completely suppress and exterminate the remaining pirates!
As long as you're allowed to take a few friends with you on board, it's okay not to be a marshal.
I never care about the position of marshal, the reason why I strive for those is that I hope to be the one who makes the final decision!!!"
At this point, Sakaski lowered his head and silently waited for Gawain's decision.
At the same time, Kuzan gritted his teeth and came to Sakaski's side, kneeling in front of Gawain.
"My lord, please think twice. The enemy is now imprisoned in the new world, but we are rich in the world and the great sea route!
If we are ten points stronger, then the enemy will only be strengthened by three points!
With your presence, we are fully capable of operating the world and the new world as a monolith!
In this way, our strength and faith will take root throughout the world and in the new world.
Sooner or later, pirates who have lost their roots will be polished off by us in history.
As long as we block the way for pirates to connect the four seas and the new world, as long as we steadily advance our deployment in the new world, and as long as we are stable enough, we are fully capable of becoming bigger and overwhelming others, and even directly solve the pirate problem peacefully!
This is not my pure fantasy, but a very possible future, just like a swordsman who is not strong enough will not have the desire to challenge Hawkeye.
As long as we develop to a strong enough level, our enemies will eventually lose their intention to be enemies with us!
There is obviously a better way to solve the problem, but if you insist on doing it in a way that will cause heavy losses, that is just greed and stupidity!
As I said, all we give is time.
According to what he said, all we gain is time!
According to what I said, all we lose is energy.
According to what he said, we will lose countless lives yearning for justice and the support of the people at the bottom!
After the war, the world has longed for peace for a long time. To start war again at this moment will only make those who long for peace become our enemies!
We cannot act recklessly. Although the human heart is invisible, it is closer to the future than the victory visible to the naked eye!
Sir, I am nearly forty years old. At this age, I am coveting the position of marshal. I am already the youngest candidate for marshal in the history of the navy!
I am the youngest general in the navy. Even if I become the youngest marshal in the navy, it will only make me look unstable!
The reason why we long for this position is just to prevent fools from leading the navy and the world into a worse era!
If I were really greedy, then based on my current status, I could even have more wealth and power than the Pirate Emperor!
But I treat those who abandon me like worn-out shoes, and peace in me, in the hearts of civilians around the world, and in the hearts of everyone who has ever lost it, will be more important than rights, more than money, and more than so-called victory!
Compared with him, I believe I am the one who stands in the majority!
Please consider my proposal carefully, sir!!!"
At this point, Kuzan has almost said everything in his heart.
He and Sakaski, one on the left and the other on the right, knelt there silently looking at the ground in front of them, waiting for Gawain's answer.
And Gawain.
Looking at the two people in front of him, he shook his head leisurely.
These two guys, one is ice, the other is fire, the other is suicidal...
Ahem.
In short, these two people are just like the elements in nature, they are completely incompatible with each other.
That's not the key. The key is that both of them are right.
For Gawain, although Qing Pheasant's decision was gentle, it did make some achievements in the people's hearts. It is more suitable for Gawain to control the people at the bottom and subtly change the color of the world.
As for Sakaski, although his decision is radical, the outcome of comprehensive victory will be of great help to politics!
Although "comprehensive victory" is just a word, the meaning behind it is far beyond normal people's imagination.
If Gawain can really win the answer to complete victory over the pirates as soon as possible, then his personality, which is already on the verge of being canonized by the people, will be elevated to a level that is rare in a thousand years. Even if the people are dissatisfied with the need to resort to militarism, then
Gawain, who dominates the scene and is admired, can completely rely on his personal charm to solve all the voices from the people!
For leaders, being right or wrong is not even a choice, because the disagreements that appear in leaders' ears are rarely truly wrong.
So how difficult is it to be a leader?
They must accurately choose the more suitable one in the face of invisible questions, and the prospects that each choice can bring will be equally attractive.
If you make the right choice, your name will go down in history; if you make the wrong choice, you will be infamy for eternity.
So what should Gawain choose?
Don't say you want them all. All adults want this kind of joke. Just listen and talk about it as a joke and go out to have fun.
If you really want them all, haha.
Even if Gawain separates Sakaski and Kuzan and supplements the power of the Black Bird to them, so that they can complete their respective plans at the same time.
Even so, there will still be a priority between the two plans!
Is economic development necessary to prepare for war, or is war necessary to assist economic development?
No one thinks that peace and war can coexist in the same regime, right?
It's fine on a small scale, after all, most people's peaceful years are earned by the hard work of individual heroes.
Although the pirates collapsed, their size cannot be underestimated.
Today's pirates are like the Soviet Union in the real world. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there is a last hero like red hair to support it.
As for Sakaski, if Gawain separates him and Kuzan, Sakaski can organize his own force to attack the new world.
With Gawain and the Blackbird behind him, Sakaski is really on par with the Uk Kingdom.
That is to the extent that even if Sakaski himself is fighting, it will hinder the birth of Europe.
For the entire force, especially emerging forces like the Black Bird Alliance, their goals must be simple and clear!
Only by truly working hard in one place can emerging forces find the qualifications to leap to the top of the world!
Just like the Great Qin Dynasty back then, if they didn't have the remaining heroes of Fen Sixth Generation and were focused on conquering the world, they would instead be entangled with the Six Kingdoms while trying to make money.
How is that kind of Great Qin different from the other six kingdoms that are on the verge of decadence?
so…….
How to make this decision?
Want war or peace?
Akainu or Aokiji?
While Gawain was thinking briefly, a speeding boat suddenly appeared on the distant sea level.
Not long after the boat appeared, a pink figure stepped out of the boat and rushed towards Gawain!
Seeing the fallen figure, Gawain let out a breath and then said to Sakaski and Kuzan.
"I have understood your decision, and I really feel your determination.
Next, I will carefully consider your respective proposals until a final decision is made.
You have been in a stalemate for more than ten months, and you should be patient enough to wait a little longer.
Also, you don’t want me to be the one who makes hasty decisions, right?
So, today is just a dinner to welcome me. I have been sitting on that golden throne for nearly a year. Let me, who is exhausted, have a few drinks with everyone first.
Also, haha.
I think that during the time I have not shown up, you two are far from the only ones who have had disagreements.
So, let me just listen to what other people have to say.
Just like a smile, like Rayleigh, like Aramu, like Mihawk.
Let me listen more, listen to your demands, and let me find a little patience for you who have already fallen into impatience.
Maybe when you have more patience, you will remember that I am also a person with demands.
Maybe only then can you two guys who are entangled by the target remember to care about my appeal!
