"What's going on? Your expression is a little strange."
"Well, your Excellency, Marshal, there is still something about Major Chen Xiuzhu and Captain Brannew." The attendant's face became even weirder.
"Oh? Didn't I say it before? Since they discovered the cancer within the navy, eliminated that bastard Bichuel, and handed over a devil fruit, Chen Xiuzhu was promoted to major. Because Branyu is affiliated with the staff
Ministry, how to get promoted? The staff department will take care of the headache. I am not responsible here. Why are there other things?" Picking up the tea, Warring States blew the hot air gently and then took a sip.
"Colonel Doron and Lieutenant Colonel Tina just reported jointly that Major Chen Xiuzhu and Captain Brannew led their troops to wipe out a group of pirates." The strange expression on the attendant's face became even more exciting.
"Well, what's the specific situation?" Seng Guo, who was sipping tea, asked with raised eyebrows.
"The world government has put a bounty on the South China Sea pirate Cotton Jack, the reef fruit user Marili, the captain of the evil pirate group Rippard, and many other notorious pirates. The total reward amount exceeds 400 million beli." Attendant
He opened the second page of the information in his hand and continued.
"Later, in the pirate lair that was annihilated, the Communist Party seized senbei and various treasures of gold, silver, jade, and a total value of 2.68 billion beli."
"puff"
"Ouch, it's hot, it's hot, it's hot, it's burning me to death. What did you just say? How much?" Warring States, who was so burned by the hot water that his tongue stuck out, looked at his attendant with a ghostly expression on his face.
As if he had foreseen it, the attendant chuckled in his heart, but still reported the details seriously and seriously.
"1 billion 45 million senbei seized"
"The estimated price of the seized gold, silver and jade is no less than 600 million."
"The estimated price of the seized strategic materials is probably no less than 500 million."
"There are also some miscellaneous things that businessmen should be very interested in. The total conversion is not less than 500 million."
"In addition to a dozen named big pirates, we also captured about 1,000 pirates."
The attendant closed the document, raised his chest and raised his head and said, "To sum up, Major Chen and Captain Brannew used a logistics team without any number to independently kill thousands of people, and there were more than a dozen famous Nanhai people.
The Great Pirate, this is the only one among all combat data of the Navy that has received such great credit."
I know that you were taught by the same teacher, and I want to claim credit for my junior brother, but I don’t want to claim credit so openly and arrogantly in front of the navy marshal like you. “Hmm,” Seng Guo coughed lightly and said, “Oh,
Isn't it wrong to praise him so much? In the history of naval combat, there are many people who have made much greater contributions than him, such as Roger, Golden Lion, Kaido, and Rocks. Which of these are not top masters? Not all of them.
Those who were defeated by us were defeated, beheaded by those who were beheaded, and prisoners who were captured by us.”
The attendant nodded very humbly and said, "Yes, Marshal, 40 years ago you, Lieutenant General Garp and Staff He went through all kinds of hardships to defeat the Rocks pirate gang. However, a lot of manpower and material resources were spent during the process, and there has never been any success."
Materials seized by the country”
"In the process of chasing the Pirate King Roger for more than ten years, you and Vice Admiral Garp destroyed 23 of your own warships and destroyed countless residential facilities. Although Roger claimed that all his treasures were
In Lafdru, but no one has reached that place so far. In fact, this guy is a poor guy in my opinion, so you and Garp have fought against him for many years, except for spending money and food."
Warring States' hands were shaking a little and his face was a little blue.
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you that Roger surrendered."
The veins on Sengoku's arms were exposed, his face turned a little green, and the veins on his forehead were also exposed.
"In addition, those two madmen, Golden Lion and Kaido, came to make a big fuss on their own. Although they defeated each other in the end, the damage caused by you fighting..."
"That's enough!" Warring States' face turned dark, his eyes were like bull's eyes, his nostrils expanded, and streams of white gas rushed out from the nostrils, "Isn't it just that 2.6 billion in supplies were seized? As for you taking my
Are the old accounts being dug out?"
With a victor's attitude, the attendant gently adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Your Excellency, the Marshal, has misunderstood. This subordinate is not rehashing old scores, but is reminding the Marshal that from the perspective of the interests of the entire navy,
"Although capturing a pirate king can enhance the reputation of the navy, it is far less practical than increasing military spending by 1 billion."
Holding his forehead with one hand, Zhan Guo was heartbroken. Why did his subordinates always undermine him like this? Then he said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I know that Chen Xiuzhu is your junior brother and I don't ask for credit like this. Tell me what you want to do?"
"Hahaha, Marshal, don't be willful. This subordinate is just discussing the matter. How can he be involved in claiming credit? It's just a fact. It's just a fact." He raised his eyes again, and an astonishing light shot out from his eyes. "My subordinate suggests that Chen Xiuzhu be directly promoted.
"Major General"
"Boom" Sengoku punched the meeting table and shouted loudly, "No, I don't agree with this, he is too young."
"Your Excellency, Marshal, please stay calm. You asked us to negotiate on Major Chen's merits before, but you vetoed it as soon as you came up. So even if you called us here, it wouldn't work." Attendant
He said with an aggrieved expression
Warring States' face turned dark, and the veins on his forehead almost formed the character "王", "Consultation? Are you talking about consultation? Ah? 70% of the people in this room are students of that old bastard Zefa, and 20% have received his guidance and guidance.
Favor, and 10% are old men like me who have friendship with him. How can we negotiate? Ah? Why didn’t I realize before that this old guy Zefa is so far-sighted? My entire navy has become a student of his.
"
Originally, he did not plan to promote Chen Xiuzhu so quickly. After all, the Warring States Period considered that Chen Xiuzhu was too young and did not have enough life experience. Although in terms of strength, let alone a major general, even a lieutenant general could meet the requirements.
Yes, but after all, many senior people in the navy may have objections, but as an aide, relying on his love for him, he actually "argued with reason", and in the end, a meeting was held for consultation. The consultation was good, after all, it was democratic.
The results of the selection are still convincing, but the people you brought for consultation are all Zefa students. What are you trying to do?
When he thought of this, Zeng Guo wanted to take out Zefa who was hiding somewhere and give him a good beating.
Speaking of this, Flying Squirrel, Ghost Spider, Dauberman, Stoloberg, Huo Shaoshan, Gumir, Dalmecia, Bastiu and others sitting in front of the conference table looked a little embarrassed.
They all had more or less friendships with Chen Xiuzhu. When the Warring States Marshal said this, everyone's face turned a little red, and they were embarrassed to speak back.
"Hmph" came a cold snort. Everyone looked at the person who snorted, and found that it was one of the three generals of the Navy, Sakaski, codenamed Akainu. Sakaski with an extremely serious face snorted,
He said, "Eradicating all dark forces is the duty and responsibility of the navy. Chen Xiuzhu has done a good job in this regard. As for the seized materials, they can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. There is no problem in getting promoted, but with only a few tens of millions of dollars,
The thief just wants to join the ranks of generals. He is not qualified yet. At most, give him a colonel."
Originally hearing the cynical Sakaski's speech, Sengoku sighed to himself. Sure enough, Akainu was still a fair man. However, when Sakaski gave Chen Xiuzhu a promoted position, Sengoku's eyes were full of resentment.
Looking at Sakaski, you are indeed Zefa's students.
In the end, Chen Xiuzhu was promoted to colonel. As for the designations of the others, what warships, etc., we will discuss it in detail when Chen Xiuzhu returns to the headquarters to take up his post. This style of obviously having someone behind the scenes made Warring States very dissatisfied, but
There was no way. The attendant reminded him that only the capture of the main army could be divided among the headquarters. There was no requirement that the capture of other troops must be turned over to the headquarters. As soon as these words came out, the great Warring States Marshal surrendered. Ever since he took up this position,
The position of marshal has never been fully funded. Suddenly there is an increase of 2.6 billion in military expenditures. The strength of the entire navy is unlikely to change much, but it is still okay to focus on cultivating a few fleets in the New World. After all, the strength of the New World is
The pressure is too great. If you can increase your strength, it counts.
After the meeting, the attendant was still clamoring for injustice. After being forced out by Ghost Spider and others, he still said unconvinced, "Brother, why don't you fight for it? Major General can't do it, isn't there a Brigadier General? With the strength of Junior Brother Chen Xiuzhu, he can definitely do it."
competent”
Looking at the attendant Guizizhidao who was bent on seeking the welfare of his junior brother, he said with a smile, "Snaiwen, I know you are doing it for the best interests of that bastard Chen Xiuzhu, but this will be bad for that boy."
Looking at Ghost Spider with a puzzled look on his face, Snaiwen waited for the other party's answer. Huo Shaoshan beside him said in a rough voice, "That kid got promoted too fast. That's one thing. The most important thing is that there." Huo Shaoshan said in a rough voice.
Pointing in one direction, "Some people want to weaken the teacher's influence. Marshal Warring States said it directly at the meeting today, but he also reminded us to pay attention."
Seeing Snaven frowning, Ghost Spider said, "If Chen Xiuzhu is promoted to the rank of general, he will definitely come into the sight of those high-level people. That kid just beat up a Tianlong boy recently. If so
Those who are about to enter the general level will definitely be summoned by those people under various names. At that time, it is those guys who have the final say on how to deal with that kid. If that kid is strong enough, it doesn't matter. The key is that he is still
Too childish”
As several people talked, Snaven suddenly felt that there seemed to be problems within the navy. No, there were also some problems not only within the navy, but also with the World Government's attitude towards the navy. When Snaven opened his mouth to continue asking,
, Ghost Spider gave him a look that did not want to ask any more questions. That look contained complexity, disappointment, anger, and uneasiness.
Looking back at the Navy Headquarters building behind him, Snaven was once proud of the Naval Headquarters, the naval base building of Marinefando. At this moment, there was a slight smell of decay in Snaven's eyes, which made Snaven feel in his heart.
A feeling of sadness, but I am powerless to change anything
