Chapter 124: Marshal Sakasky

"That's right." After listening to Hanks's report and making corresponding explanations, Nagato suddenly remembered one more thing: "Since you are back, there is something you need to implement it." ”

Hanks replied, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Now that the Kushima affair is over, it is a good thing to take back the islands, but the disappearance of the agreement has also created new problems." Nagato said.

"Your Majesty means ......"

Nagato explained: "Now Dressrosa's overall strength is still the weakest side, and more importantly, our position with the pirates is completely different, so although the overall situation seems to return to the four-point pattern of the Edwardian period, the slightest carelessness may fall into the dilemma of being besieged from three sides."

This problem was mentioned by Beckman, who was unwilling to withdraw on Snake Island a few days ago, and Nagato did not react at the time, as if he did not take it seriously, but in fact, he knew that Beckman was not false, and he made a plan early.

Nagato said: "Now Dressrosa is developing rapidly, but after all, it can't be achieved overnight, so to avoid a crisis, I need someone to pull the energy of those three parties for me."

Nagato continued: "My request is that you and your department discuss a bill in two days and submit it to the world government, asking the navy to increase troops in the new world.

"Proposal for additional troops?" Hanks' eyes moved downward, staring at the desk in front of Nagato, obviously thinking quickly about this matter in his heart, "If you want to meet your majesty's requirements and attract the attention of the beasts, redheads, and aunts, then you need at least the support of the lieutenant general." ”

After a moment, he looked up and replied, "I understand, the proposed direction is a pirate crime campaign against the New World, do you think it's okay?"

"Your idea is to abandon the normal practice of increasing the number of troops and exchange short-term independent military activities for higher-level troops?" Nagato thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "It's a feasible idea, so let's do it." ”

"Yes."

After explaining the content of the proposal, Nagato reminded again: "Before handing in the proposal, you should contact General Sakasky, and I have already received his support for this matter in advance."

Hearing this, Hanks was stunned at first, and then smiled: "In that case, the military expenses provided can be reduced." Speaking of which, Admiral Akainu should be the most powerful candidate for the next marshal, as long as his side can help, and the navy can send manpower, there should be no problem in passing the proposal. ”

Speaking of Akainu, Hanks couldn't help but say a few more words: "Speaking of which, the former Marshal Sengoku has been out of office for almost a week, and the successor has not yet been decided, and now this has become the most discussed topic in the outside world."

"The Capital of the Seven Waters is also discussing this matter?"

Hanks nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, there were people talking about it everywhere in bars and streets, especially tabloids, and the content on them was so-called unique news."

After speaking, Hanks asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what do you think about this?"

Hearing Hanks' question, Nagato turned his gaze, was silent for a moment, and then replied, "If nothing else, it should be Sakasky."

Then, Nagato explained: "It has been so long since Sengoku left office, and Kuzan has not been able to take the throne. Of the two candidates, the world government favored Sakasky, and within the three armed forces there was a greater support for Kuzan, but the appointment could not have been decided by the military itself. The resignation of the Sengoku was actually a coercion and pressure, but there was no news for a few days, indicating that the world government would rather the marshal be empty than agree to Kuzan's succession, so the result was already obvious. ”

"Is that so?" Hanks sighed with some surprise, "Although I also thought that Admiral Akainu was more likely before, I didn't think that the vacant position of the marshal would also pass on this message......"

As if to confirm Nagato's words, a report about the matter came through the phone.

Blu Blu ......

After the phone bug on the desktop sounded, Nagato answered the call and heard a female voice on the other side: "Your Majesty, this is Kalifa, and we have learned the news of the appointment of the Admiral through the internal personnel of the World Government."

The phone bug came so coincidentally that Hanks approached unexpectedly and curiously.

"What's the situation?" Nagato asked into the phone bug.

"The world government has drawn up an order for the former general Akainu to take over as the marshal, and it is expected that it will be officially announced tomorrow."

And so it was.

In fact, this result is not unexpected, as Hanks said, the matter of the marshal has been the hottest topic in the world lately, and most of them, like Hanks, hold the view that Akainu will take over.

The support of the world government is not the main factor in this, after all, the vast majority of ordinary people cannot understand the attitude of the world government, and the reason why people really think that the marshal belongs to Akainu is mostly due to the changes caused by Nagato.

That is the encirclement and suppression of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates by him and Akainu.

After the battle on the top, Akainu went deep into the new world to pursue the fleeing pirates, if it was the original trajectory, he could almost be said to have returned in vain, but this time because of Nagato's participation, Akainu almost wiped out the Whitebeard Pirates, and the remaining ten captains, including Marko, and the captain were still Nagato's prior request.

With such a huge feat, the actions of the pheasant in the four seas are undoubtedly overshadowed. Even if none of the naval officers who went with the Akainu were returned, this would only be a rhetoric for the support of the pheasants in the army, and the world government would not care about it, and people would ignore it - in fact, the world government would not report it at all.

In this way, the difference in the performance of Akainu and Aoji in the marshal competition has become the reason for people's tendencies, which is why the world government has been able to vacate the position of marshal under military pressure, and now designate Akainu as marshal under a single order instead of the duel between Akainu and Pheasant.

Naturally, this change caused by Nagato also had its ripple effect.

"Because Akainu will take over the post of marshal, one of the three major admirals of the Navy will be vacated, and for this reason, the World Government and the Navy are preparing to examine the candidate for admiral in the near future, and select one of them to be promoted to the new admiral."

Without ten days and ten nights of duels, the pheasant would have no direct reason to leave the navy. If the pheasant leaves with the world government appointing a marshal, it means that he is extremely dissatisfied with the government, and he is not qualified to do so, and he cannot afford to do so.

The key to everything is that in the fair competition, he did lose.

The result of the pheasant's retention is that only one of the three major generals is missing, and the world government and navy naturally have no incentive to engage in any world conscription without exception, and directly push newcomers with no resume to the position of admiral.

"Well, any other news?" Nagato's news of Kalifa, who learned the latest information, compared it with the vague memories in his mind, and knew that the direction of the future had changed again, but he didn't care too much, after all, this was not the first time he had intervened in the change, after all, his original purpose was this.

"There is one more, but it hasn't been fully confirmed." "It is said that the first thing Akainu was going to do after taking over as marshal was to move the naval headquarters from Marin Fando to the New World. ”

The information that Kalifa threw out at the end was the most relevant to Dressrosa, causing Nagato and Hanks to exchange glances at the same time.

"Then, Your Majesty, is the matter of the proposal going forward?" Hanks asked.

It's no wonder that Hanks asked the question, with the power of the navy to involve the energy of the Three Emperors, is there anything more powerful than the relocation of the headquarters to the New World?

However, Nagato's answer was again unexpected: "Of course it continues."

"Our proposal can be an argument for Sakaski's relocation of the headquarters, and it can also be his political achievement after the move, and for us, the simultaneous increase in the number of naval forces and the relocation of the headquarters will be more able to divert the pressure on Dressrosa, which is a win-win move," Nagato said.

"I see." Hanks suddenly said, "I'll follow Admiral Akainu as you want...... No, Marshal Akainu communicated adequately. I want to talk about "The Six Ways of Pirates" with more like-minded people, " ", talk about life and find a confidant~
