"Luffy's butt print, to be exact."

Vito glanced at the night outside the window and said quietly, "It seems that even if this place is full of dust and no one cleans it, our lieutenant colonel, every once in a while, will still sit down in this position dedicated to the colonel of the branch, close his eyes, and enjoy this honor comfortably." ”

This naturally has a lot of his speculation, but the effect is still very satisfying.

Heiko stared at the leather chair in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time, his mood at the moment was very complicated, a bit like the subtlety of being cuckolded by Luffy, and the coldness of his back as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

The reason why he spent a lot of money to operate and came to a remote island far away from his headquarters, but he came to enjoy life and spend a leisurely life, why is it that now there are internal and external troubles, and everything seems to be going in the opposite direction to his expectations......

"I've reminded you all that should be reminded, so pay attention to yourself."

Vito had already turned around at this time, walked towards the door, and dropped a sentence without looking back, "I'm going to rest, it should be clear what you should do in the evening, I hope that when we meet again tomorrow morning, our identities have been arranged." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Vito."

Heiko woke up from his thoughts, nodded quickly, and waited until he saw Vito and the others leave, then closed the door, leaned on the leather chair where the sea rhinoceros sit, and looked at the coffee machine on his right, stunned.

……

On the third and fourth floors of the base building, there are many rooms like the colonel's office, which are dedicated to officers above the rank of second lieutenant on the base.

The configuration and decoration are naturally not as good as the one in Haike, and the area is basically only about seventy or eighty square meters, but fortunately, there are enough vacant rooms, and after Vito and his henchmen slowly and methodically selected for a while, they finally chose the room with the right appetite.

There are six rooms in total.

These rooms were concentrated on the east side of the third floor, and as for the fourth floor, they were unoccupying at Vito's current rank, at least perhaps at the rank of major.

At present, the 78 branch bases, even if you count Haike, there are only four people in total who have this qualification.

As for those below the rank of second lieutenant, whether it is an unqualified non-commissioned officer like the commander of the army or an ordinary general-headed soldier, the assigned dormitories are concentrated in another building located in the southeast corner of the base.

Not to mention the internal environment, it is already a lot of luck to be assigned to a six-person room, and the crowded and narrow eight-person room and twelve-person room are the norm.

"Young master, it's time to clean up."

Vito stood at the window and smoked a cigarette silently, thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way in the city today, when Hathaway's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hmm."

He answered, but didn't hear any movement for a long time.

Looking back, a maroon long-haired girl dressed as a black maid had just finished cleaning up the dusty room for him, and was wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, while looking at herself with hope on her face.

"After cleaning, go back to your room to rest, what are you doing here?" Vito gave her a strange look, "Do you still have to praise you like you did ten years ago?" ”

"I'm looking forward to that, but I'm not really looking for a compliment......"

Hathaway hugged the broom and said pitifully, "That...... That, it's that there are no people in this building after all, and I haven't lived in that room for a long time, it's dark, and I'm a little afraid to stay there at night......"

"Pull it down, you slept better than anyone else in the pile of corpses, and now tell me that you are afraid of the dark?"

Vito saw through the girl's attempt at a glance, and unceremoniously snapped his finger on her head, "Don't even think about the bed, Lao Tzu said in the mountains that you should change your dreams and take Mrs. Zhai as your life goal, and you can think of it in your brain!" ”

"What's so bad about this dream......"

Hathaway tugged at the corners of her clothes, "Besides, I can always follow your position, you have become a navy now, if you become a vice admiral in the future, then my dream is to be a vice admiral's wife, if I become a marshal, then I ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a shift in her gaze - two more vines appeared under the soles of her shoes at some point, and they moved her out of the door, and then Vito appeared in front of her with an expressionless face and slammed the door shut.

……

Finally quiet.

Ignoring the angry voices such as "Bad young master, stinky shit young master" faintly coming from outside the door, Vito turned on the lamp, sat down at the desk, took out the pen with a cigarette, pondered for a while, and began to write hard.

The fountain pen is also a relic left to him by his father, and the inside of the cap is engraved with the word "Rocks", which is said to have been given to him by a guy named Jibek more than 30 years ago.

Gibek.

Vito hadn't heard of the name, and he searched for memories of his past life in his mind repeatedly, and he didn't have any relevant impressions, thinking that he should be an insignificant little person, at most an old man's old acquaintance, so he didn't take it to heart.

The fountain pen full of ink fell at the beginning of the white paper, and a line of extremely beautiful black characters flowed out of the tip of the pen like flowing water.

[What should be done before replacing Heiko as a branch colonel]

When he intercepted the sea train, he already had a rough plan in his mind, but the specific implementation still needs to be combined with the local situation.

Until tonight, after a whole day of tossing, Vito, who silently observed this isolated island in the snow, was finally able to integrate those fragmented thoughts in his mind and put them into practice in an orderly manner.

Becoming the top officer of the 78th branch is a short-term planning goal that Vito has set for a long time.

This thing seems to be very easy, killing Heiko and replacing it is just a matter of his thoughts, but if he wants to become a branch colonel recognized by the Navy Headquarters and personally appointed, it is by no means an overnight success, and many preconditions are needed, and they have to be laid out one by one.

The first is prestige.

The status that Vito is about to obtain is that of a branch captain who has been in the army for a long time and has enough seniority, but this is only something written down on paper and files after all.

In front of the entire navy of the 78th branch base, his resume is blank, even if he is a recruit who has just entered the camp, he will not convince a strange commander who does not know the roots.

[Before the promotion opportunity comes, you must first gain enough trust and respect from the grassroots level of the branch, and the "prestige" thing will always be accompanied and complemented by power. 】

After writing this sentence, Vito exhaled a puff of smoke, squinted at the night sky, thought quietly for a moment, and then took up another line and wrote two words.

【Connections】

Since he decided to enter the navy, through the most powerful organization in the world, close to the peak of power, then sometimes he must follow the default rules of the system, and until he has enough capital, he can no longer be completely as wanton as he is in the mountains.

And the accumulation of contacts, and the subsequent clever use, is a road that he must take before he breaks this shackle and breathes free air again in the future.
