Chapter 12: Preparing for War
Commander Jonathan was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about countermeasures, the room was quiet, Luo Yi felt a little depressed, he didn't expect that he had just been in this world for three months, and now he had encountered such a thing.
Major Drake couldn't hold his breath, he could be said to be the second commander of the fortress, although he only had the rank of major, but it was true, "Your Excellency Commander, let's concentrate on defending the fortress tomorrow!" ”
Jonathan looked up at him, then said, "Drake, we're in the Navy." ”
"But......" Drake was about to continue, but Commander Jonathan interrupted him with a direct wave of his hand.
"Major Drake, we are not only the navy, but also the defenders of the fortress of Nabalon, we are not only guarding the fortress, but also its prestige." Commander Jonathan stood up, looked at Major Drake and said, "Nabaron's reputation today is not only due to its defenses, but also because of the daily patrols of our Navy soldiers to ensure the safety of the surrounding island villages, and once this prestige is lost, I don't know how many years it will take to re-establish it." ”
Luo Yi looked at this commander, and he also sincerely admired, in the anime he is a hateful navy, not only because of his wisdom, but also because of his principles, he does not rush to kill Luffy and others, and has his own judgment on things.
And now it seems that he is indeed worthy of the title of the righteous navy, and at the same time, Jonathan's personality makes Luo Yi very respectful, and has a great influence on Luo Yi, Luo Yi wants to pursue power, but is it just the pursuit of power?
"But what about the fortress? The number of pirates is uncertain now, but they dare to attack the fortress, and the number must be quite a lot, and it is not clear how many capable pirates there are. Major Drake became anxious.
"Don't worry, I'm a major general, not for nothing." Jonathan's words made Luo Yi stunned again, this commander has never made a move in the anime, and he has always shown excellent wisdom. But this is a naval fortress numbered G-8, located in the front of the Great Voyage, and Jonathan has only wisdom and no force?
Major Drake also seemed to have a sudden realization, but he still had a worried look on his face, and Commander Jonathan said, "Order." "Everyone stands upright, including Yingfeng." Major Drake will lead six warships on normal patrol tomorrow, with full staff, try to carry as much ammunition as possible, and once he encounters the pirate fleet, he will adopt a guerrilla approach, using long-range artillery bombardment to engage the opponent, and will not engage in melee combat, understand? ”
"Yes." An order is an order, and more could have been said just now, but now Major Drake can only obey.
"Well, very good, Drake doesn't need to worry about anything, the people I kept in this disarmament are all elite veterans, and I also estimate that the pirates will take action, just let them see if Na Baron is still the same as in the past, now sound the alarm, notify all soldiers to start preparing for battle, and they can rest for two hours before dawn."
"Yes." Major Drake hurriedly went to deploy, while Jonathan looked at Luo Yi.
"Luo Yi, you did a good job, you made a meritorious contribution this time, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses if we were suddenly attacked, but you are still a miscellaneous soldier, but I believe that you will be an excellent navy in the future, because you have the courage to stand up, I hope you will maintain this courage." Jonathan looked at Luo Yi with a smile.
"Yes, sir." Luo Yi stood up and saluted, "I don't know if I can join the war tomorrow?" Luo Yi wanted to participate in the war, originally he thought he was already very powerful, but today he found out that he couldn't beat a pirate's cannon fodder, and his commander, Corporal Snow, was so powerful, and he was so powerless.
"No, you don't have formal training, you can't play a role in combat, haven't you been training lately? Let's talk about it when you're done practicing later! ”
"But Commander, if the fortress is breached tomorrow, then I am not dead? It's better to go into battle, even if I die in battle, at least I've tried. Luo Yi said anxiously.
"Huh? Very good, Corporal Snow, I'll leave Luo Yi to you. Jonathan laughed, this lad is very good, at least courage, courage is needed on the sea.
"Yes, let's go, boy." Snow patted Luo Yi on the shoulder and left with him, while Jonathan was silent for a while.
"Pirate fleet? Tomorrow I'll show you the fangs of that Balon! Jonathan looked confident, even though he lacked soldiers, but he was still confident.
After Luo Yi followed Corporal Snow away, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the base, all the personnel got up, and well-trained soldiers ran past in groups, they didn't know what would happen tomorrow, and now it was just a normal reaction after the alarm.
Arsenal, Snow took Luo Yi to the arsenal, "Boy, what weapon do you want to use?" Snow asked, turning to look at him.
"Knives." Luo Yi wants a knife, even if it's not a back-edged knife, and now is the time to not use that kind of knife, tomorrow is a life-and-death fight.
But he was disappointed, Snow just brought him a musket and came out, "Here, the knife is not something you can use right now." ”
"Why?" Luo Yi asked unconvinced.
"Hmph, today's pirate spy is just a cannon fodder, such a spy often mixes into the navy, it can be said that he is dead, pirates generally use some miscellaneous fish to act, you can't hold on to it in his hands for a round, do you want to melee with pirates?" Snow said mercilessly, and Luo Yi was speechless.
Today he was really scared, the pirate just wanted to kill him, he felt that murderous aura made him afraid, he couldn't act at all, his body trembled, which is why he was going to fight.
Courage is indispensable, especially in the world of One Piece, where the chaos is unimaginable in the previous life, if he doesn't have the courage, how can he become a strong man to complete his mission? Or how did he live?
Originally, he thought that he had seen Satan, the lord of the region, and he should be fearless, but today he realized that Satan had no killing intent at that time, maybe he was just treating it as a game.
You are ignorant and fearless!
Luo Yi looked at the musket in his hand blankly, and then asked with difficulty: "That, sir, how do you use this thing?" "The musket in the One Piece world, the strange weapon technology, although it is a bullet is a projectile, and gunpowder is used, but in the anime, it is always fired continuously, and there is no need to reload, Luo Yi doesn't know what the principle is at all.
