CHAPTER XVII

Hearing Odin's words, Sengoku and Tsuru fell silent, if the situation that Odin said really happened, then the navy may really usher in the biggest challenge since the era of pirates! Although the navy of the entire New World has an overall advantage over the pirates, it is scattered in different bases. Led by several lieutenant generals.

On the other hand, the pirates did not have such shortcomings, they used to live in a fixed place, and it was more difficult for the navy to catch them. But they also didn't have the courage to go to the bases of the Navy! But once they unite and start to fight against the navy with a purpose, then the navy will be of great help to the pirates by spreading their forces like this!

"Odin, is there anything you can do now? We can't be so passive! It's just Whitebeard doing this with Kaido now, and if more people start to follow their example in the future, then our navy will be exhausted! Lieutenant General Tsuru asked.

"In fact, the most direct way is to concentrate the troops, take them all back, and give up some relatively small bases! Make every effort to build several large bases! We can defend better this way! After all, we are an army, and there are so many places we need to guard! In fact, the current navy of the New World is basically deployed at important nodes, but this is also relatively scattered, and my suggestion is to abandon all bases under 10,000 people! Build a base of over 50,000 people on top of each route! Adopt a policy of encroachment little by little, and take advantage of the fact that the navy still has an advantage, and first establish these large bases! Odin said.

There is no way for Odin to do this, although the navy has recruited many people with justice in their hearts to join the navy through the world's great conscription! However, the rate of increase in the navy is obviously not as fast as the increase in pirates! Although the number of pirates in the New World has not increased much, during this time, Odin has received many reports that there are basically pirates attacking the navy in the first half of the four seas and the Great Voyage! The strategy of the Navy is to focus on deployment, and part of the force is mobile and cruised! But this also allowed the pirates to grasp the law! In particular, the main high-level combat power of the Navy is in the New World! It has also allowed many pirates from all over the world to develop a lot in the first half of the great voyage!

Although they did not have the ability to attack those important nodes, it was precisely because they were trapped in the four seas and had no way to get out, so many people in the four seas suffered! After all, many pirates go to sea for wealth, and since the navy blocks the road and does not allow them to pass, then it is the same for us to rob in the four seas! So a lot of pirates started to make trouble.

Odin also felt a headache when he saw these reports, in his previous life, he saw that the navy was driven out of the new world, and he could only operate the first half of the four seas, and he thought that the navy at that time was not capable of keeping the new world, and the navy's high-end combat power was insufficient, and he didn't realize that so many people chose to go to sea to be pirates in the era of pirates! Now it seems that this is simply the fact that the Navy is not capable of holding such a large place!

The current total strength of the navy is about 1.5 million people, but with so many people, after being distributed to the four seas and the great voyage, Odin obviously feels that the strength is insufficient! If the Navy wants to have absolute superiority in the whole world, then the Navy needs at least twice as many personnel! But now the size of the navy is a bit overnumbered, and you still want to recruit again? Not to mention whether the world government allows it or not, even if it is conscription, there are not so many people to join the army? Coupled with the non-stop maneuvering of the pirates, fight here and fight there, and the navy has to divide its forces.

"Marshal of the Warring States, I thought it was too simple at the time. Our Navy simply does not have the ability to guarantee the security of so many places! During this time, there were different degrees of pirate attacks in the four seas and the first half of the Great Voyage, and many bases sent requests for support. It would be a waste to deploy so many troops in the New World now! I think we need to ensure stability in the four seas now! If the four seas are in chaos, it will be even more difficult to clean up! Roger's era of pirates really caused a lot of trouble for our navy! Odin said.

"It's not your fault! At that time, if we hadn't coveted those false names and had not publicly executed Roger, we would not have given Roger a chance to say those words! Or are we taking it for granted! Sengoku also waved his hand and said.

"What do we do now, Odin? Do you continue to draw out the elite and return to the four seas and the first half of the Great Voyage? Lieutenant General Tsuru said.

"Now I can only temporarily draw the elite of the new world back! We only keep a few large bases! The size of 50,000 people stationed at each base! This will drain 100,000 people from the New World and return to the four seas! And these 100,000 people should not be scattered, but find a few people to lead them, and start directly from the East China Sea, one sea area after another! Clean up the four seas first! Then clear the Great Route! If you can't do it, let go of the entrance to the new world! Let those pirates go to the New World to grab territory! I'll be back in the New World in a few days! Lead the remaining more than 200,000 elites and start cleaning up the first half of the new world! Drive all those pirates to the second half of the islands occupied by Whitebeard and Kaido! Let them weed out first! Odin said.

"Is this possible? If those lieutenant generals are transferred back, the strength of the New World Navy will be greatly reduced! You can't do it alone, huh? In the past, when you were in the New World, Whitebeard didn't bother us, but now that Whitebeard has begun to take the initiative to occupy the islands and divide them, it will be difficult for you to be as difficult as before, right? "Lieutenant General Tsuru saw a loophole in Odin's arrangement at once.

"Whitebeard can only be put down for the time being! I'm going to New World, and the main thing is to keep the G1 base to Morata Island! We take a part of each route first and move forward slowly! Squeeze the pirates' activity space! Odin said.

"Then who do you think is more suitable for the four seas and the first half of the Great Voyage to be pulled back?" Sengoku asked.

"Except for Polusalino and the flying squirrels! All the vice admirals are drawn back! Those large bases in the New World are all garrisoned by major generals! I took Polusalino and the Flying Squirrel to form three mobile units and cruise between several bases in the first half of the New World! No one hosts three bases! This is just the right way to control this part of the sea! Odin said, pointing to the first half of the New World on the map.

According to Odin's meaning, even if the remaining bases are built according to the scale of 50,000 people, there are not so many garrisons, and they are basically kept between 15,000 and 20,000! These ten bases just form a circle, enclosing all the sea area that Odin is pointing to! The remaining three Odin, each with about 30,000 troops, began to wipe out all the pirates in this circle! This way you can keep the area safe!

And those pirates in the first half of the Four Seas and the Great Voyage will have to be dealt with by those lieutenant generals who have returned! Anyway, there are no powerful characters in the Four Seas and Paradise, but because the number of pirates is too large, and because the Chambord Islands controlled by the Navy and the G5 base on the New World side are relatively big hits to the pirates, so many pirates are stranded in the first half of the world. Odin believed that as long as those lieutenant generals each brought 10,000 troops, they could clean up a sea area!

In fact, most of this world is related to the sea, and as long as there is a ship, you can sail freely. Unlike the mountains and rivers on land, just like the Great Wall of China, as long as it is held, then the cavalry on the northern grasslands basically have little chance to go south! This is also the reason why ancient times liked to build passes so much!

But 80% of the pirate world is ocean, and only one piece of land is still a ring-shaped continent, dividing the entire planet! The rest are islands, and although there are seven routes, can't they sail without a route? No, it's just not easy to find the island! Therefore, many pirates facing the encirclement and suppression of the navy run directly outside the route, and the navy has no way to find them accurately!
