Chapter 364: Military Attitude
The Five Elders said that there were only five people discussing in private, but in fact, after Dampier left, another person came into the room.
This person was dressed in a white military uniform, with medals on it, his long beard was braided, and his strong physique still showed the outline of his muscles under the uniform, but a pair of round-rimmed glasses on his face made his temperament look very elegant.
This person is the current admiral, known as the "wise general" of the Warring States, when Danpier was imprisoned, he had actually secretly come to the Holy Land Mary Joy, and had been arranged in the next room before, secretly listening to the conversation of several people.
"You don't really want to agree to their offer, do you?!"
After Danpier left the room, as soon as Sengoku entered the door, he directly questioned loudly.
Compared with the original book, who later served as a marshal and was known for his toughness, Sengoku has always been quite polite to the five old stars, and his tone has never been as bad as today.
But the attitude of the Warring States is actually excusable, the Navy Headquarters in the East China Sea can be said to be a loss of face, the local navy was corrupted by William, after the people of the headquarters passed, they were also played by William and a group of pirates, when William was released from prison, he even broadcast live in the entire East China Sea, completely exposing the embarrassment of the Navy to the world.
What's more, even Karp folded in, although the world government and the navy have restricted news and public opinion, resulting in this matter not being known to the public like the defeat of the Golden Lion Shiki, which caused a strong sensation, but a conspicuous target like Karp suddenly disappeared in the East China Sea for so long, people with a little brain can see that something is abnormal, and the well-informed forces are enough to easily find out the truth and truth, and most of the officers and soldiers in the Navy Headquarters actually know about it.
Whether as a marshal of the Navy Headquarters or Karp's old comrade-in-arms, Sengoku found it difficult to accept that the initiator of all this turned into a legitimate pirate who was nominally equal to the Navy Headquarters, and even the king of a member country of the World Government.
Sengoku is a moderate compared to Akainu, but he is still a soldier, and compromise and exchange will never be his first choice.
"Why not? His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas were originally intended for qualified sea pirates. The old man with the first birthmark on the map on his forehead was a little displeased with the tone of the Warring States, and said with a frown.
"If you agree to these unreasonable demands, then what is the face of the navy? Where is the face of a naval hero!? Sengoku did not slow down the intensity of his tone because of the unhappy attitude of the five old stars, on the contrary, his voice became louder and louder, and became more and more urgent, with an undisguised question, "And you want to agree that he obtained the status of the king of the member country, so how will the world view the previous arrest operation of the Navy Headquarters!?" And how can the Navy explain it!? Do we want the government to admit that it is inconsistent, or let the navy admit that it is wrong to arrest a high-ranking official of a member country of the world government for no reason? ”
"You should figure out one thing, Warring States, the face of the navy is not worth mentioning compared to the interests of the world government, how the government does things, you don't need to follow the command of the navy, it is the world government that leads the navy, not the navy that leads the world government!" The old man's eyes sharpened when the white hair hung down like a waterfall, "When necessary, soldiers always have to make sacrifices, as long as they can ensure the final victory!" ”
"That's on the battlefield!" Sengoku did not back down.
"This is the battlefield!" The old man with the first birthmark on the map on his forehead said sharply, "Do you think you are still the navy soldier who only knows how to wield knives and guns, and fight to the death with people?" You are now a marshal, one of the supreme leaders of the Navy, and your ideas, your vision, and the height cannot be on par with when you were a small soldier! ”
"Look at this world, Warring States," the old man with short blond hair said in a soothing tone, trying to minimize the tense atmosphere in the room, "This world is not peaceful, in fact, we are in a huge battlefield, the short-term peace is just an illusion, in fact, several parties are fighting hard, whether it is us, or the Four Emperors, or even other newly rising, ambitious, waiting for the opportunity of the forces, war is not only a form of frontal fighting." ”
The blonde old man stopped, and the old man in a loose kimono pushed his glasses, and the five old stars have served as the top leaders of the world government for many years, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other, and he went straight to the end of the conversation: "Warring States, our enemies are not only Morgan. William alone, even Morgan. William was not the enemy we most desperately needed to deal with. ”
"The people of the BIGMOM Pirates are still in the East China Sea," the old man with a scar on his face tapped the floor with his cane, "If William really has a relationship with Charlotte. Lingling's daughter got married, and the two forces married, and things really got tricky, and you just heard it, with Morgan. William's intrigue and courage once matched Charlotte's great power. Lingling united, their threat level will increase exponentially, plus Morgan. The battleship technology mastered by William and his gang was already difficult to govern Charlotte. Lingling will truly become our confidant! ”
"And," the blonde man continued, "Karp's death at the hands of William and his death at the hands of the Four Emperors have a different influence, even if Morgan William kills the Golden Lion and kills Karp, we all know his strength, and he can still eradicate him and eliminate the negative influence, but the Four Emperors are different." ”
"You're raising tigers!" Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Morgan. William's strength is not strong enough now, so he has to work hard to seek the position of the Seven Martial Seas, he has been in the East China Sea for a few years, and he has been operating there as impenetrable as an iron barrel, and you are now taking the initiative to give him a higher stage! ”
The old man with the first birthmark on his forehead said in a deep voice: "We know that William's purpose is not pure, but so what, is any pirate really honest?" Could it be that Doflamingo is honest? Doesn't that guy who pretends to be a hero in the desert kingdom also have ulterior motives? But compared to the Four Emperors, their threats are not harmful to the overall situation for the time being, only the Four Emperors are the ones closest to Ralphdrew, and they are also the forces most likely to collect the text of history, which is the biggest threat that can really immediately shake the foundation of the world government's rule and destroy the existing order! ”
"Now, there is a sharp blade that sharpens iron like clay hanging over our heads, which may fall down at any time, and another rough embryo that is still being polished, and we don't even know if it will eventually become a material, whether it will be scrapped due to an accident during the polishing process," the old man with a scar on his face asked Sengoku, "Do you think the first thing we should do is to first take off the sharp blade on our head that is crumbling and will fall off at some point, and take our lives, or should we focus on the rough embryo that is still being polished?" ”
