After boarding the warship, Jiang Feng glanced at the saluting officers and asked with a serious look on his face, "When will the supplies be ready?"
These majors and lieutenants were still immersed in the surprise that Jiang Feng, a senior colonel, was so young. They came back to their senses after listening to Jiang Feng's questions, "The report has been prepared and you can leave at any time."
"Then let's go"
After giving the order to set off, Jiang Feng turned around and walked into the cabin.
The lieutenants on the deck felt like they were in a dream, and they still looked surprised.
Jiang Feng's promotion to senior colonel actually shocked the entire navy's top brass and even caused a stir. There was no precedent in the history of the navy for being promoted to senior colonel on just one mission. Jiang Feng did not think it was Garp and Warring States who were helping him.
The only guess is that this is an order from the higher-ups of the Navy. Could it be that Wulaoxing has begun to pay attention to him, and only Wulaoxing has the right to promote himself beyond the ranks.
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel nervous. Is it a blessing or a curse to be paid attention to by the Five Old Stars?
Jiang Feng had only been in the navy for a few years. He was still in the learning stage and his reputation was not good. These officers, whose highest official rank was only major, had narrow information channels and had no access to Jiang Feng's affairs at all, so they did not understand Jiang Feng.
"I've never heard of such a young senior colonel. I feel it's not very reliable."
"Do you think this senior colonel is a second-generation soldier? He comes here just for gold plating and military exploits. I think we are in for a disaster this time."
Several lieutenants questioned for a while, but they were not qualified to question the orders of the Navy Headquarters, so they had no choice but to follow suit.
The elites who were in the same period as Jiang Feng had a relaxed look on their faces. They knew Jiang Feng's strength, but they felt a little unhappy when they saw Jiang Feng rising all the way up the ranks while they themselves had not even become a lieutenant.
The deepest cabin on the warship is Jiang Feng's room. All officers on the warship have their own independent rooms, while ordinary soldiers share a room with several people.
At this time, Jiang Feng was looking at some information, and a major wearing glasses stood next to Jiang Feng.
This information is the target this time, the information of the Bone Pirates. The leader of the Bone Pirates, Cabez, was originally 90 million Beli, but is now 130 million Beli.
Cabes, a superhuman-type user with the bone fruit ability, can take his bones out of the body or extend them to fight. His bones are extremely hard and he is good at physical arts.
After reading the information about the Bone Pirates, Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Interesting, very interesting fruit abilities."
After speaking, Jiang Feng looked at the major next to him, "Go and send the information about the Bone Pirates to the sailors participating in this mission!"
"Yes, Colonel"
After the major left, Jiang Feng stood up and hung the senior colonel's cloak on the hanger.
"To get to the South China Sea from here, we have to cross about half of the first half of the entire Grand Route. It is really a long journey, and this time cannot be wasted."
Jiang Feng sat down cross-legged and used his mental power to control the power of space. He decomposed the power of space into black space particles, and then combined them and repeated the operation to practice his control over the power of space.
You can't practice swordsmanship on a warship, so you can only practice your spatial abilities.
"When you find the Bone Pirates and kill Cabes, you will gain another military exploit."
Now Jiang Feng also has to think about accumulating military merit. Although there is still some distance before he can break through the third limit, it is always good to accumulate enough military merit in advance.
What makes Jiang Feng more concerned is that even if he accumulates military merit in the future, he may not be able to become a general.
The Navy has only established three positions for generals. Now Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji have already made their mark. As long as they have enough military merit, they will naturally be promoted to generals.
I'm afraid that Jiang Feng's strength will exceed these three by then, and the Navy will not grant Jiang Feng the title of General. Will Qing Pheasant have to wait until after the war to leave the Navy?
"No, it's too late. It seems that you have to work hard to become a general."
Besides, Jiang Feng not only wants the position of general, but Jiang Feng wants the position of marshal of the navy. If he wants to achieve this, he must make trouble and not take the ordinary path.
The navy has a strict military merit system. Whether it is catching pirates or completing missions, as long as something is beneficial to the navy, military merit will be awarded as appropriate.
But catching pirates is the fastest way to gain military merit.
The bounty for each of the four emperors of the new world in the later period was extremely astonishing. Even the senior cadres of these pirate groups were worth a lot of money, with a bounty of seven to eight billion, or even one billion.
As long as one of the Four Emperors' forces is destroyed, a massive amount of military merit can be obtained.
Of course, this level of pirate group cannot be eliminated by annihilation. The pirate group of the four emperors is not only a pirate group, they also represent a force. The elimination of the four emperors means officially starting a war with the four emperors.
The power of the Four Emperors was extremely huge, and the Navy would not dare to provoke him easily. Otherwise, future generations of the Navy would not have gone to great lengths to introduce Whitebeard to the Navy Headquarters and then kill him.
...
Just when Jiang Feng finished practicing and was about to take a rest, there was a quarrel outside.
Jiang Feng hurriedly walked out of the cabin and came to the deck. He saw the elites arguing with the lieutenant. What surprised Jiang Feng was that the leader was Gulide.
"Stop it all."
With an angry shout, the people who had been arguing and about to take action suddenly stopped what they were doing.
Jiang Feng said with a straight face, "Tell me why, before you even met the pirates, you started attacking your own people."
After waiting for a while no one answered.
Jiang Feng said again: "Why, you are already mute. Where is the momentum from the quarrel just now?"
"Gulide, tell me why you are quarreling with them."
Gulide looked embarrassed at first, and then looked at Jiang Feng very firmly, "I just can't stand it, they are talking about you."
Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with curiosity, "What did you say about me?"
"They said you only became a senior university student because of your connections. Otherwise, how could you have become a senior university student at such a young age?"
"But I know that you relied on your own strength to become a senior colonel."
After listening to Gulide's words, Jiang Feng finally understood that these lieutenants were doubting his own strength.
The elites of the same period knew their own strength, so they didn't say much, but these school lieutenants didn't know themselves at all and could only judge their own strength based on subjective perceptions.
However, this is understandable. This is to exterminate pirates, not to have fun. As the senior colonel with the highest combat power on the entire warship, if he is not strong, how can he ensure everyone's safety.
At this time, Jiang Feng couldn't help but look at Gulide with a deeper look, full of emotion.
The other quarreling lieutenants had a flash of fear in their eyes. In the Navy, the crime of being a non-presidential officer is quite serious.
Looking at the scared-looking lieutenants, Jiang Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp look. Jiang Feng had no intention of arguing with them, but...
Jiang Feng had thought of this problem when he came. Fortunately, this problem happened now. If civil strife broke out during the war with the pirates, the consequences would be really unimaginable.
This time Jiang Feng was really angry and dissatisfied. I don't believe it, right?
