In the eyes of a naval soldier, most of the time, it refers to a pirate invasion.

Especially when this military officer is so panicked.

Vito originally thought so, but when he calmed down the other party's emotions and asked clearly, he found that things seemed to be different from what he expected.

There was no sign of the pirate ship in the harbor, but someone found the unconscious Lieutenant Colonel Luffy on a floating lifeboat.

The lifeboat was empty, and there was no second person except him, neither the dozens of naval soldiers who had gone with him before, nor the pirates who had escorted them, were nowhere to be seen.

"It's a big deal."

Looking at Jun Cao, who was finally panting and explaining the matter, Vito frowned and thought about it, and directly ordered:

"I'll inform Colonel Heiko that you go back to the communications room and use a loudspeaker to inform all the soldiers to assemble urgently."

Although there was no sign of the pirate ship in the harbor for the time being, the unconscious Lieutenant Colonel Luffy was most likely attacked by pirates while being escorted.

After all, the branch had to make some emergency precautions, so as not to have pirates chasing after the lifeboats along the road.

"Yes, Captain!"

Some of the prestige that Vito has initially built up in the past two days is still useful, and Jun Cao didn't ask the reason, and turned around and left directly without hesitation to carry out Vito's orders.

Soon, this astonishing news spread throughout the branch base, and the soldiers, who had recovered from the brief shock, began to assemble by the gate of the base under the command and command of the captain.

The only one who didn't react for a long time in a daze may be Heiko.

Poor Mr. Colonel, he finally had time to experience the leisurely life of drinking coffee by the fireplace in his original dream, but he did not expect that this happy day would have to face such a terrible emergency.

He frowned for a while, and cautiously asked Vito if he wanted to rush over in person, but the latter, seeing him like this, refused angrily and directly, letting him stay at the branch base to preside over the overall situation, and he took some soldiers to the port to check the specific situation.

"I don't know who Lieutenant Colonel Luffy met, but he was the only one who escaped in the end."

Captain Ibuprofen, who rushed to hear the news, rushed to the direction of the gate with Vito, and his face was full of worry:

"Now that the warship is gone, and dozens of colleagues are missing, no matter what happened, this is already the biggest loss suffered by our 78th branch in recent years!"

Just a few dozen people and one warship are already the biggest losses......

Vito was a little speechless, the 78th branch located on this isolated island of Blizzard was really used to living a peaceful life without fighting with the world, and had never seen many bloody and cruel war scenes.

"How many warships does the branch have now?" He suddenly thought of this and asked casually.

"There are six in total, but four of them are small patrol ships, and there are only two main warships that can really be used for combat."

Captain Ibuprofen smiled helplessly, "Lieutenant Colonel Luffy escorted the pirates to the G-2 branch this time, and the main battleship was called, so now there is only one left......"

What a poor jingle sound.

Vito looked up at the four-story branch fortress, and then turned his head to look at the magnificent and majestic city hall building next door, wondering if he should switch the two places after taking control of this island in the future, so as to be worthy of the name of the naval branch base.

This is not an easy task.

Behind the city hall, it obviously represents the authority of the two major families, and his current official status is not even qualified to contact these two families, so the primary goal at the moment is to be promoted to school officer first.

Gate.

The more than 400 naval soldiers stationed at the base have all been assembled.

But standing at the forefront with his hands behind his back was not Vito's imagined Seti, but a man with a hooked nose that he had never seen before.

The hook-nosed man, who was about thirty years old, had dark purple curly hair, and had a gloomy face, and after noticing Vito and ibuprofen approaching, he just glanced coldly, then turned his gaze back and continued to scan the soldiers in front of him.

"This is Major Benjamin."

Ibuprofen whispered in Vito's ear, "He was picked up by Lieutenant Colonel Luffy, and he may be a little uncomfortable with you who came with Colonel Heiko, Vito, be careful." ”

"Understood, thank you."

Vito nodded slightly.

There are only two majors in the base of the 78th branch, and when they arrived at the base the day before yesterday, the major they saw in the building had a gentle and honest personality, somewhat similar to ibuprofen, and was considered a marginal person who did not participate in the power struggle of the base.

And the Major Benjamin in front of him is obviously not so easy to deal with, not only with a gloomy look, but also a confidant of Lieutenant Colonel Luffy, and they naturally have conflicts of interest and position with these outsiders.

"Why haven't you seen him in the past few days?"

Taking advantage of the fact that he was still a little way from the gate, Vito asked ibuprofen in a low voice.

"I don't know, but Major Benjamin rarely comes to the base, either to the drinking parties held by the two families, or to the brothel and ...... Well, you know, fool. ”

Ibuprofen pouted, "If we hadn't heard that Lieutenant Colonel Luffy had an accident, I guess the next time we see him in the base would be weeks away." ”

"Oh, yes."

He seemed to remember something, and added, "Before Colonel Heiko came, he was nominally responsible for the daily training for the past two years, but you can also see how effective it is......

Vito was suddenly aware.

At this time, the two of them had already come to the gate, he no longer said anything to ibuprofen, and after standing still, he first saluted Major Benjamin with a standard military salute, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand:

"Hello, Mr. Benjamin! When we first met, I was Vito, and I had just followed Mr. Heiko to the base for a few days, and we were all colleagues in the base in the future, so please take care of me. ”

His voice was full of affinity, and with his full appearance, he had been almost invincible in the base for the past few days, but after Benjamin glanced at his outstretched hand, he didn't mean to shake hands at all.

"Needless to say, I know you, you've been in the limelight for the past two days, Captain Vito."

He sneered, making no secret of the sarcasm in his words.

"It's only been a few days, and there is no one in the entire base who doesn't know you, and wherever you go, you can hear those stupid recruits talking about you, I'm just a major with an idle post, where am I qualified to take care of you?"

This is no longer a hint, but a blatant expression of dissatisfaction with Vito taking over the position of his training chief instructor and taking the opportunity to gather a lot of popularity.
