Chapter 285: Special Lieutenant General
Lynn hung up the phone bug, special lieutenant general? Sounds great, but you should know how. But for now, it's enough to be able to participate in the next big battle.
"Okay, when you're done, can you do me a little favor?" Lynn looked at the man in the suit, this kind of person is not strong, but he must know a lot of things.
The man in the suit bent down respectfully, "In Lower Pastor Hill, I'm happy to serve my lord!" ”
In the phone bug just now, Lieutenant General Tsuru's words were clear. The young man in front of him actually killed the two Seven Martial Seas, and he will become a special vice admiral of the navy.
Special Lieutenant General! It may not be clear to the average person, but to a senior intelligence officer, he is very clear about the meaning of this special lieutenant general. The Navy was very cautious about awarding special vice admirals, and for at least 50 years he had never heard of a special vice admiral awarded by the Navy.
Special lieutenant generals will only be awarded to those who have a clean resume, have nothing to do with pirates, and have at least the strength of a general. And although it is not explicitly stated, the special lieutenant general is never awarded to a person over the age of 35, no matter what kind of strength he has.
Although it is difficult for them to go further in the military ranks, everyone who is awarded the title of special lieutenant general must be the top powerhouse of each generation.
Therefore, everyone who is awarded a special vice admiral, even if he has no real power in the navy, is still highly respected. At the same time, thanks to the trust of the Navy and the government, each special vice admiral will have countless followers. The navy, the government, the Celestial Dragons, the Super Chamber of Commerce, and various countries, all of them are willing to win over such a strong man with super strength and abiding by the rules.
Such a big man, let alone doing a favor, even if he bets on the future of his entire net worth, he will never hesitate.
Only then did Lynn notice the change in the attitude of the man in the suit in front of him. "It seems that you are well aware of the concept of a special lieutenant general, so let's introduce it first."
"Yes, sir." The man in the suit organized the language, "As far as I know......"
……
After his explanation, Lynn understood what the special lieutenant general meant to ordinary people. But for him, it doesn't really mean much.
For Lynn, with his resume and strength, it is really natural to be recruited by the navy and the government. Draconian? No kidding, Lynn didn't plan to be a thug for anyone else. As for the Super Chamber of Commerce, he himself is the heir of the Great Chamber of Commerce, who can afford to invite him?
Of course, it is still very convenient to have this identity. And he will be able to use the intelligence system of the navy, although the authority will inevitably be limited, but for him, high-level intelligence is not really needed, and what is most needed is precisely the intelligence of the middle and low levels.
For example, what is really going on in this gastronomic capital, and what is the situation of those chefs? This kind of intelligence will not be taken seriously by the Navy at all, but it is desperately needed by itself. In addition, you can also use the intelligence system of the navy and the government to obtain top-notch food information.
Lynn had a look of excitement on his face, it was wonderful that this special lieutenant general rank had come.
……
Tsuru put down the phone, and Sengoku looked over. The two of them were in the office together, and he heard the conversation just now very clearly.
"Special Lieutenant General, it hasn't been seen for a long time since the Age of Pirates began." Sengoku lamented, in fact, the navy is very willing to absorb masters from the civilian sector to enhance its own strength and weaken the power of the pirate camp. However, conferring the rank of lieutenant general out of thin air is too controversial for the military system.
For those navies who have worked so hard, who have been born and died for more than ten years, and who have made countless contributions before being promoted to vice admiral, it is simply intolerable for these young people who have not made an inch of merit to stand on the same level as them all at once. Even if the other party has general-level strength, it will not be able to calm the grievances of these veteran generals in the army.
But for a genius who has been awarded the rank of special lieutenant general, it is not easy to accept that he obviously has the strength of a general, but he has to be placed alongside a group of people whose strength is far inferior to his own.
Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the special lieutenant generals, the relationship between the admirals and the special lieutenant generals was very bad, and it was only by relying on the suppression of the marshal that they could barely maintain official contacts.
However, with the accumulation of one after another talented special lieutenant generals, in the face of undeniable merits, the admirals of the navy gradually accepted this special military rank, which played a very important role in the strength of the navy.
It's a pity that Roger's era of pirates ruined all this. It's easy to do good, it's easier to do bad. As long as it is tainted, it will not be possible to pass the qualification examination of the special lieutenant general.
"It's a little grumpy, but it feels pretty good to me, and there's no sense of guilt." Tsuru said seriously.
She has a keen sense that hits the soul, and no matter how evil people disguise themselves, they can't hide from Tsuru's perception. Therefore, for each object that needs to be disarmed, the crane will sense it and inform the Sengoku area.
"Haha, that's great." Sengoku was really happy to hear it, although the means were a little radical, but it was enough to have this righteous heart.
"What are you going to do with him?"
Sengoku thought for a moment, "With his ability to fight in naval battles, his ability to fly, and his ability to travel between the two battlefields in a short time, it is most appropriate to put him in the Advance City." ”
Tsuru thought about it and expressed his support.
If Whitebeard's army were to attack, there would be only two possible targets. First, the place where Ace was imprisoned - the Deep Sea Prison; Second, the place where Ace was executed - the Navy Headquarters Marin burned more.
Sengoku and Tsuru agree that it is more likely that Whitebeard will attack Marin Burn.
Although the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates is very terrifying, every captain has the strength of a lieutenant general, and the top of the ranking can even compete with the generals. But compared to the world government and navy, it is still weaker.
But Whitebeard's advantage is that he has two targets for attack, and the navy must be divided into garrisons. Needless to say, the Navy Headquarters must definitely be guarded by a serious illness. And the city of Advance is holding hundreds of thousands of pirate prisoners, and there are countless strong people in it.
If Whitebeard were to capture the city and completely release the hundreds of thousands of prisoners inside, it would also be an unbearable disaster for the navy. When the time comes, Whitebeard and hundreds of thousands of prisoners who are eager for revenge will fight back against Marin, then the strength may be reversed.
Therefore, whether Whitebeard goes to the city or not, it must be a strategic place, and there is absolutely no room for failure.
The most painful thing about Sengoku and Tsuru in this short period of time is that no matter how they mobilize, it is impossible to guarantee that they will hold two battlefields at the same time. If the combat power is evenly distributed, it will not be able to hold that place. There has to be some focus, but if you guess wrong, the consequences will be a complete failure. This is also the reason why the navy and the government are desperately striving for foreign aid, and Lynn, who has won the rank of special lieutenant general, can be said to be the biggest beneficiary.
After much consideration, Sengoku decided to put the main forces in the naval headquarters, and Marin burned more. To this end, he has already begun work on the transfer of non-combatants on the island.
Sengoku, Karp, Tsuru, the three generals, and the Seven Martial Seas will join forces to fight Whitebeard here. The reason why Sengoku dared to arrange it this way was that Operation Whitebeard had to remain covert, to keep moving fast, and that it had to get rid of naval surveillance.
The first reason is distance. With the sheer size of the Whitebeard Pirates, if they want to return to the Great Voyage from the New World, they must pass through the passage below Santa Mari Joya and take the route of Mermaid Island. In this way, it is impossible to completely evade the surveillance of the navy and the government, and for Whitebeard, the longer the operation, the greater the risk. The Navy Headquarters is closer to Mermaid Island, so it's a better choice.
The second reason is intelligence. Whitebeard couldn't easily grasp Ace's whereabouts, so he didn't dare to choose to attack Advance City. The Advance City is located in a windless zone, where it is the lair of the Sea Kings, and only naval warships can travel freely. Whitebeard could never have had a large number of ships that could freely navigate the windless zone.
If he chooses to attack Advance City, Whitebeard must think about what if he can't find Ace after all the hard work of Advance City! It's not easy to get in, and it's even harder to leave. If he is calmly assembled by the navy and the government, then the end result will inevitably be total annihilation.
Therefore, only before the execution can it be determined that Ace's must be in the Navy Headquarters. Therefore, both Sengoku and Tsuru believed that Whitebeard's attack must have been before the execution, and the battlefield was burned in Marin.
The Sengoku period made a heavy bet, and the Navy Headquarters concentrated most of its combat power. If the judgment is correct, Lynn's absence will not affect the overall situation. If the opponent attacks the Advance City, Lynn's naval combat ability will be maximized.
