Eventually, Pedi agreed to make Don Wright his third retinue, as he could bring him a squadron of paladins to allegiance, and more importantly, of course, Kru needed the intelligence network of the Radiant Power to serve in the rest of the war.

Two o'clock in the afternoon,

Pedi showed up punctually in the huge military conference room of Danmore Naval Harbor with his newly recruited retinue of Don Witt and his own captain, Banger.

At this moment, the seats in the conference room were already filled with officers of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, and at the same time, the government officials of the town government of Seka Town, headed by Sir Befitt, were guests of honor at today's meeting.

Before Pedi entered the venue, the meeting room was a bit chaotic, the people brought by Buck did not know etiquette at all, and the two gendarmerie teams led by Lieutenant Colonel Theop were not enough to control the order.

But the good thing is that no one does anything out of the ordinary, it's just a little chaotic.

When the main door of the conference room hall was opened, and when Pedi walked into the conference room, the noisy crowd subconsciously cast their eyes in Pedi's direction, and at this time, whether it was an arrogant former pirate member or a proud naval officer, they instinctively showed a humble smile on their faces.

A few seconds later, all the senior admirals and officials of Seka Town gathered around Pedi at once, causing Sir Benger and Don Wright, who were in charge of Pedi's safety, to frown, fearing that these people would crowd Pedi at once.

However, it soon became apparent that their fears were unfounded, for although the officials of Seka town and the naval officers surrounded them at once, none of them dared to come within half a meter of Pedi.

Pedi kept smiling calmly, his gaze skimming over everyone's faces, and finally, landing on Theop's face, "I heard your noise at the gate of the command building, what are you talking about to be so happy. ”

The mayor of Secca, Sir Befit, immediately bowed down and said, "My lord, the lads are just a little excited, perhaps, they are excited to be with you so closely. ”

"Haha!" Anyone likes to compliment, and Pedi is no exception, but he doesn't get carried away, "Let them all sit down, and you all go back to your places." ”

As he spoke, the crowd made way for Pedi to pass.

Two minutes later,

Everyone sat down again, but there was no absolute silence.

But it doesn't matter.

Because, this meeting was not a traditional combat meeting, but a pre-war mobilization meeting.

So, the atmosphere in the meeting room doesn't have to be too serious.

Under everyone's gaze, Pedi walked to the bottom of a large chart, and directly in front of it, the officers of the Fifth Mixed Fleet sat in arc-shaped seats on the terraces.

Pedi looked around and said, "I'm glad to meet you here, but before that, you were nothing more than a pile of papers, a pile of files for me to access... So, before we formally begin our meeting, I would like to read out a few important appointments. As he spoke, Pedy took from Sir Benger's hand a stack of fine parchment papers with the coat of arms of the Giant Bear.

"Wow"

Pei Di shook the stack of papers in his hand, and there was a soft sound accompanied by the fragrance of paper and ink, "These are some appointment documents, I know, many people are waiting for him..."

As he said this, Pedi paused, and under the eager gaze of a group of people, he lowered his eyelids and said: "First of all, the head of the first detachment, my staff committee decided to be the deputy leader of the third detachment, Sergeant Cassiu, and I agreed. ”

"Oh, oh my god..."

As soon as the appointment was announced, a noisy discussion erupted in the conference room.

The officers of the first detachment all had incredible expressions on their faces, for Sergeant Cassiu, who was not born in the regular navy, was one of Buck's most relied on assistants.

As the main force of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, almost all of the members of the First Detachment were born in the regular navy of Balan Town, and even when Colonel Fred was in charge of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, he did not dare to interfere too much with the First Detachment except for issuing combat orders.

Theop's eyes bulged when he heard Pedi's arrangement, and his heart began to beat involuntarily, he was not excited, but afraid, because, since the establishment of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, the first detachment was almost a forbidden place for the local nobles of Balan Town, and now, Pedi is obviously going to move this piece of cake.

At this moment, Theop realized how naïve his previous thoughts were, and he also understood that Pedi was not only using him to suppress Buck, but also using Buck's power to suppress the power of the Navy Family in the Fifth Mixed Fleet.

Moreover, this is a time when the naval family in Balan Town is weak, which means that Theop and the family behind him have no power to resist this.

The officers of the third detachment were overjoyed by the appointment, but Buck was the only one frowning.

At this time, Pedi continued: "The second detachment was destroyed due to the defection of Lieutenant Colonel Quincy in the previous naval battle of the Dip Islands, so the number of the second detachment was cancelled... However, I have entrusted the town government of Sekka to form another detachment, which will be called the sixth detachment for the time being, and the leader of the detachment will be Sir Pato, who is recommended by the town government of Seka. ”

This appointment did not cause discussion among the officers, but in Theop's heart, it was undoubtedly a thunderbolt, because it represented the official involvement of the nobles of Seka Town in the power of the Fifth Mixed Fleet, which was not very good for the naval family of Balan Town.

Pedi didn't care what others thought, and he flipped through another letter of appointment, "Well... Sergeant Ayman Zuo, you have been appointed the head of the third detachment. ”

"My lord—" Sergeant Aymanzuo himself abruptly rose from his seat, but almost at the same moment, Buck turned his head and glared at him with a warning look.

"Well—" Pedi searched his mind for the man's magical photograph, and soon, he said, "Oh, it's Sergeant Aymanzuo, do you want to give your testimonial?"

Under Barker's gaze, Aiman said humbly, "No, I was just a little excited. ”

"I hope you don't get too excited when you get your appointment papers. Pedi swept in Buck's direction.

"Haha!"

Soon, Sergeant Ayman Zuo sat down amid the ridicule of the officers of the first detachment.

"Now, it's about the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Mixed Fleet..."Pedi's gaze first stayed on Buck's face for two seconds, causing the officers and men of the third detachment to be excited, but soon, he looked at Theop again, "Lieutenant Colonel Theop, from now on, I have to call you Colonel Theop. ”

"Bang long ...

A series of chair falls sounded,

But it was nearly a third of the officers of the third detachment who suddenly stood up from their seats.

"Why, are you guys a little excited?" Pedi slowly put down the appointment paperwork in his hand, with a hint of joke, a hint of ridicule, and a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

"My lord—" A tall, thin, middle-aged man in a major's uniform came out in line, he didn't pay attention to Buck's gaze, he walked straight to the front of the seat, "I just want to know, Buck Leader's out." ”

"Major, there is only one ruler and one leader in Crewe, maybe you should brush your tongue and repeat what you just said?" the mayor of Seka reprimanded Ser Fett before Peddy.

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. The tall, thin middle-aged man bowed down in unskilled aristocratic manners, "I wanted to ask Captain Buck about his arrangements, and I don't think he should be excluded from the Fifth Mixed Fleet." ”

"Captain Buck is best suited to be the commander of the Fifth Mixed Fleet. ”

At this time, another young officer in a senior lieutenant's uniform grabbed his arm from an old sergeant next to him, walked to the front of the seat and stood side by side with the tall and thin middle-aged man, "I have no intention of offending you, my lord, I just want to say what I think, my personal thoughts." ”

As he spoke, the young lieutenant knelt down on one knee to Pedi.

Pei Di's gaze fell on the young lieutenant, "If I understand correctly, Captain, you want me to change the contents of this appointment paperwork, do you?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Barker...", Pedy shouted suddenly, his voice like thunder, which shook everyone's hearts.

"Your Excellency!" but, the young captain kneeling on the ground shouted louder, and he shouted with all his strength, "I have no intention of you changing any orders, and besides, this has nothing to do with Captain Buck, as I said, I am only expressing my own thoughts." ”

After the young captain shouted, Buck was already on one knee directly in front of Pedy, but he didn't speak.

Surprised by the young captain's courage, Pedi asked in an indifferent voice, "Tell me, Captain, who are your allegiances?"

The young lieutenant shook his body when he heard this, and after a few seconds of silence, he replied, "I owe allegiance to the rulers of the Crane Territory, the Reagan family under the banner of the Giant Bear. ”

"Very well!" Pedi suddenly stepped forward, "Now, you repeat what you just said." ”

"I still think Captain Buck should be the Fleet Commander because I trust him. The young lieutenant buried his head in his chest, and was already on his knees when he said this.

This time, Pedi's gaze stayed on the young lieutenant for more than ten seconds, during which everyone had to subconsciously lower their heads, waiting for him Pedi's answer.

"Your courage is admirable, Captain. "But what I'm trying to tell you is that no one in Crewe can question the Reagan family's decision, even if you're right!"

According to the law, I can dispose of you at your disposal at will, except for the death penalty, but I appreciate your guts, so, from this moment on, you have become an ordinary sailor rushing to a speedboat, and after you have killed twenty goblins, you can be reinstated as your captain, but before that you are only a soldier!"

"Thank you, my lord. The young lieutenant's voice was calm, "I will get my rank of lieutenant back as soon as possible, my lord." ”

"Good. Pedi nodded appreciatively, then looked at the officers who continued to stand in the third detachment, "So, what do you want to say?"

"My lord!" Buck, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, suddenly spoke, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the soldiers of the city defense battalion who appeared in the corner of the conference room, and said, "We have sworn that we will always be loyal to your family, and your will is my will!"

"Very well!" Pedi glanced at the seats that had been vacated after someone had exited the conference room, and quietly made a slashing gesture to Colonel Theop on the side, "Then, Buck, go and exercise your captaincy at the end, I'll only wait for you for half an hour." ”
