Zefa just smiled and didn't answer, helping Don En tidy up his shirt that was a little messy because he was lying down.

Karp glanced at Zefa, but his face was serious.

"Alright, Karp, it's your turn."

Zefa smiled and stepped aside.

"This promotion, Karp will give you the title!"

Tang En's expression was stunned, and he was puzzled. The last time he was promoted to colonel, it was his own teacher who helped him complete it, why is it Karp this time?

But by this time Karp had already come to him, and he didn't want to ask much.

"Colonel Donn, in view of your outstanding strength and excellent performance during your tenure, the headquarters hereby confers on you the rank of brigadier general."

"I hope that in the rest of your naval career, you will work harder, fight to the death, dedicate yourself to justice, and fight for the honor of the navy!"

Karp's tone was calm, and this time's expression was unlike anything before.

Don En looked solemn and saluted seriously.

Karp then removed Donn's previous rank of colonel and replaced him with the new rank of brigadier general.

"From today onwards, you will be a good Commodore of the Admiralty, do your best, boy."

"Don't let down anyone who cares about you and remembers you!"

Don replied loudly: "Yes! ”

Zefa beside him looked at this scene with satisfaction, and there was nothing more joyful than the growth of his disciples. In his life as a navy, he has paid too much, and even his children and relatives have been implicated because of the hatred of the pirates. The young kid in front of him, unconsciously, has become heavier and heavier in his heart.

Looking at him, Zefa seemed to see his younger self.

At this moment, he was happy for Donn's promotion.

"Don, come on, next, a new journey will begin!"

Zefa laughed.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Don also laughed and replied loudly.

Promotion is undoubtedly something to be happy about. Although he didn't know how the Glöland incident had finally subsided, and why he had been suddenly promoted, there were some shadows in his heart. But all this seems to be a good situation.

"In seven days, you will follow the old man to the second half of the Great Passage, get ready!"

Karp said to him in a deep voice.

As a commodore general, all of Donne's voyages in the navy have just begun, and entering the second half of the voyage is also a new world.

"Before that, Don needs to recruit a new team for himself, you are now a brigadier general, and you are also qualified to build a group detachment centered on yourself!"

Zefa reminded with a smile next to him.

"Build a team?"

Don was stunned.

When a naval officer reaches the rank of colonel, he can actually organize a team headed by an officer, and Don also has it. After Alabastan, his team consisted of seven brothers led by Hader. But now, to make it to the second half of the Great Passage, you will need to face thousands of pirates who will become more powerful and multitude in the future.

With a team of only eight people, it is undoubtedly seriously inadequate.

Zefa's meaning is obvious, he is reminding him to build a fleet that is not weak in number and strength!

In the navy, a fleet, that is, a warship, has a navy, which is generally around 1,000.

That is, Donn now needs to have a fleet of his own.

Only in this way can you drive freely and confidently and complete all kinds of difficult tasks after entering the second half.

When you reach the brigadier general rank, you naturally need to be not only strong, but also have a strong command ability. The navy is not a pirate after all, and it will not work to be free and loose.

"However, I have just been promoted to brigadier general, how can this team be established? Will the headquarters be assigned? ”

Don wondered.

With his current connections and power, it is indeed a difficult task to recruit a thousand navies.

"The department will not assign you anything, but will only allocate you relevant finances and authority, and everything needs to be done by your kid."

"Don't forget, you are now a general, you must be independent and independent, and the headquarters can give you a lot of freedom!"

Karp said in a deep voice.

"Of course, this is also difficult for you young boy. Which general was not finally promoted after a long period of tempering, countless transfers, and almost being the commander of most regions. Naturally, they have accumulated a lot of contacts during their careers. ”

"It's not hard for them to assemble an army. But for you, it's trouble. ”

"But you, but you are also lucky, at this moment, there is a group of people in the headquarters who have no way to settle."

As he spoke, Karp glanced at Zefa.

"The officers, soldiers, and some of them have returned to their branches. But some have been eliminated and dealt with as black households. ”

Zefa said.

Done's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?" ”

"That's right, you can choose them as your soldiers and form a new army!"

"But boy, I'm going to tell you, some of these people were even higher in rank than you before, whether they are willing or not, how to persuade them to be your subordinates is your business!"

"If you can't form a new army of your own before you set off, you kid will be in trouble after the second half!"

Karp said solemnly.

"I understand!"

Don took a deep breath and nodded.

It was undoubtedly good news for him to be able to take the group of soldiers and officers on Groland Island under his command. Originally, the two sides were familiar with each other before, and it was naturally easier to accept that they could fight together in the future.

Only, as Karp said, will that group of people be subservient to themselves?

He himself is only a brigadier general at present, and to become his person means that the group of officers who were originally major generals and brigadier generals will become his subordinates with a rank lower than him.

This may be a little difficult for them to accept.

Zefa then reinforms him of the details and what to look out for, and then leaves with Karp in a hurry.

The two of them seemed to be very busy, and they didn't even care about Tang En's military affairs.

And Don was also under pressure at the moment, let alone thinking about it, he followed Karp's guidance and walked towards the gathering place where Pat and the other navies were at the moment.

But a moment later, Don had arrived at his destination.

This group of soldiers, because the officers have become black households in the navy at the moment, but they are also members of the army, and they just need to be re-registered, so they are temporarily arranged in a small military base in the southwest corner of the headquarters.

"Colonel Donn, why are you here?"

The navy, who was sweeping the floor at the door, saw him and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

His voice was loud, immediately waking up the other navies in the courtyard. When Pat and Kodmu, who were sitting on the stone under the tree, heard this, their bodies shook and turned back sharply.

"It's Donne!"

With excitement on their faces, several people quickly got up and walked towards Don.

When the two sides met, Don was about to speak, but Pat had already spoken first.

"You're finally here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Huh?"

Three question marks popped up in Donn's head.
