Chapter 43 Strategic Adjustment of the Navy
Odin finished processing the papers on the table, stood up and stretched, walked to the window and looked at the busy crowd outside and the sea in the distance, feeling a lot calmer.
In the last two years, world governments have begun to reduce military spending on the Navy and have begun to limit the size of the Navy. The air marshal had no choice but to shrink the forces in the New World, but for some important routes and important nodes, there were still a large number of garrisons, but the naval bases in secondary places were reduced, unlike in the past, as long as there were manned islands, there were naval garrisons.
Sometimes Odin also understands the government's intention to do this, but understanding is understanding, as a navy, Odin still feels that such a government is a bit excessive. Because the world government actually gave the saved military spending to the CP organization! In the past few years, the CP organization has been digging up the Navy's military resources all over the world, in addition to being transferred to the CP by the people they like, they have also found some good seedlings to dig into their organization, if once the Navy intervenes, then the final loss must be the Navy.
According to the situation, the air marshal adjusted his strategy in a timely manner, took a defensive position in the new world, and no longer attacked the last part of the islands in the new world. But for the world government ordered to strengthen the rule of the four seas, the plan to increase the number of troops. The air marshal also had to execute it well! Because Marshal Air has always resolutely carried out the orders of the world government.
Odin looked at the busy figures on the dock and thought of Carter and the others. Odin decided to let the five men brought out of the G8 base return to the four seas, because Odin knew that the new world was about to face even greater challenges. In a few years, Roger will become the King of the Pirates, and Whitebeard will reign in the new world in the second half of the Great Voyage! And the main thing is that Kaido guy finally has news!
According to the intelligence, Odin learned that Kaido had escaped a year earlier, when Kaido went directly to Fish-Man Island from the bottom of the sea, and then snatched the ship back to the first half of the Great Voyage, after which he disappeared.
Odin has been mentally prepared for Kaido's escape from the beginning, after all, the existence of being able to be called the strongest creature in the sea, land and air is not so easy to die. But Odin was surprised that Kaido hid after he got out of trouble.
In his previous life, Odin learned from the anime that Kaido is definitely a monster, nor is he an existence that knows fear, Kaido has been fighting bravely on the road of death, so hiding is not like Kaido's character?
In fact, where does Odin know that the reason why Kaido is hiding is completely frightened by Odin, and whoever has been trapped at the bottom of the sea for a few years will be afraid of the person who can trap him. Kaido has been trapped for a few years, and his subordinates have long been scattered, so of course Kaido has to hide.
"I disagree! How can we leave our chief and go away on our own? Could it be that Carter just wants to leave the chief sooner? While Odin was pondering, there was a quarrel in the quarters of the base. Jimmy, Odin's only female officer, grabbed Carter by the collar and said loudly to Carter.
"Jimmy, I know you don't want to leave the Chief, but this is the Chief's order! And you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, right? Jimmy, it's not ten years ago, you have to face it! Carter knew Jimmy's temper, so he could only say to Jimmy with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Jimmy let go of Carter's collar and walked over to the side and sat down. Carter is right, it's not ten years ago, Jimmy now has his own family, and most importantly, he has children of his own!
As a mother, Jimmy has to think about her children. "Well, if we leave, who will take care of the chief? Who will help the commander when he goes to sea to fight in the future? Jimmy regained his mood and said to Carter.
Hearing Jimmy's words, Carter pursed his lips and sarcastically said to Jimmy: "From this point of view, Jimmy, your departure is the greatest help to the chief!" It's not that you don't know the strength of the chief, have you forgotten the things that made the chief queen a few times before? In fact, the current strength of the commander can become an admiral! It's a pity, the chief knows that no one is qualified to sit in the position of the two generals except Mr. Karp and Mr. Zefa, so the chief is just a lieutenant general! Otherwise, the chief can go back to the headquarters, and there is no need to spy on those powerful guys in the new world! Carter said.
After Carter finished speaking, both fell silent. The current navy can be said to be the strongest in the eyes of outsiders, but only insiders in the navy know that the current navy has begun to decline.
Although more powerful newcomers have been emerging in recent years, the older generation of the navy is gradually aging, and the newcomers have not fully grown up, if it weren't for an Odin watching in the new world, it is estimated that the territory that is still trapped in the new world will shrink by more than half!
Karp is hunting down Roger all over the world, and it is rare to see Karp at headquarters. Admiral Zefa retreated to the second line and began to teach and educate people full-time, and the navy was supported by only one general of the Warring States, which was also one of the reasons why the air marshal began to shrink the naval forces.
Among the newcomers in the Navy in recent years, the best performers are the future three admirals of the Navy, Sakaski, Polusalino, and Kuzan, who has been particularly outstanding recently.
However, the first two are now accumulating military exploits in the first half of the Great Voyage, and Kuzan will soon return to headquarters. In addition to one Odin, there is no particularly powerful existence in the New World to suppress the sea.
On the other hand, in terms of pirates, a large number of top pirates such as the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Flying Pirates are all sailing in New World. The current situation is that there are more pirate masters than the navy, but the navy still has a numerical advantage, but how much advantage does the numerical advantage have in front of the masters?
The Navy's strategic adjustment took nearly half a year to fully adjust, and Odin also ushered in a new deputy, Deputy Commander of the Navy's New World G1 Base, Commodore Polusalino!
This time, the headquarters sent Polusalino to cooperate with Odin to suppress the new world, both of them are natural Devil Fruit abilities, both are good at speed and attack power, and they are also the backbone of the younger generation of the navy!
G1 base dock, Odin stood there waiting, and after a while, a warship approached the dock, and Polusalino took the lead and walked down to Odin. "Lieutenant General Odin, Brigadier General Polusalino came to report! It's been a long time since I've seen a lieutenant general! ”
