Chapter 40: The ...... Behind It (2nd Update)
Today's Tesla is an out-and-out celebrity in the entire escort fleet that escorts heavenly gold.
Although he caused a lot of extra trouble to everyone because of his wayward behavior, for Tesla, the vast majority of sailors were more in awe than disgust.
After all, no matter what, in this world where strength is paramount and the strong are respected, the strong will always have more privileges than others.
Not to mention, as long as there are ships escorted by Tesla, those troublesome pirates who will definitely appear in the past will seem to be blind and completely disappear in the sea area where the warship is located.
Of course, the reason is very clear to everyone.
So, when Tesla appeared on the deck and walked towards Tina and the captain, the tightly surrounded sailors instantly split into two paths, each daring to stand in the way of Tesla.
ββ¦β¦ Why take Upside Down Mountain? We're in the navy, and we're going straight through the windless belt to get back to the Great Route, back to Mary Joy, and Tina doesn't understand why bother! Tina's voice was high-pitched.
"The convoy has its own plans, Major Tina! As an escort, you just need to do your part! The captain's voice was low, but it was unmistakably domineering.
That is, because Tina does not belong to the direct crew of his warship or even the entire Heavenly Golden Escort Fleet at all, but a supernumerary escort force specially dispatched by the Navy Headquarters, otherwise, as the captain of a ship, he will not even be able to explain at all, and he can just be imprisoned or exiled.
After all, whether it's a pirate or a navy, in the vast majority of cases, the captain or captain is the most vocal person on the entire warship/ship!
In this case, any crew member who disobeys the captain's will has basically been included in the blacklist of the major captains.
No captain would allow his crew to question or even disobey his wishes!
One, none!
If it weren't for Tina's special status, the key was that her partner had the strength to make him have no desire to fight at all, even if he was a major in the naval headquarters, as the commander-in-chief of the entire Heavenly Golden Escort Fleet, he wouldn't care about anything.
Just when the two were at a stalemate, Tesla's voice suddenly came: "Tina, that's it, this matter is over!" β
Then, the crowd surrounding the two quickly dispersed to both sides, revealing Tesla, who was slowly walking step by step.
"But, Tesla! You, you know......" Tina didn't expect that Tesla, who was supposed to be on her side, didn't speak for herself! Don't forget, he told himself about that incident at the beginning! Tina suddenly felt aggrieved.
"I know! So, this matter, that's the end of it! I'll take care of the rest! Tesla's words were not hurried, but the confidence in his words made Tina pause.
Then, seemingly shaken by Tesla's strong self-confidence, Tina ignored the captain and said straight to Tesla, "You said it yourself!" Something really is going to happen, I think you know the severity of the consequences better than I do! Tina wants you to be as confident as you appear! After saying this, Tina walked straight to her room without looking back.
Along the way, there were no uninteresting sailors who dared to stand in their way, and they all got out of the way.
"I'm sorry, Captain Wells, Tina, she's so ignorant." Seeing Tina leaving, Tesla said to Wells, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet and the captain of the warship, with a slight apology.
Against Tesla, Wells didn't perform as tough as he did against Tina.
Because, he used to be a student taught by Zefa, and he knew that the person in front of him was his junior disciple, and more importantly, he knew very clearly that he could not compare with the junior disciple in front of him in terms of background, strength and even potential. Therefore, Wells smiled and waved his hand, so that the surrounding sailors dispersed before he smiled and said slowly to Tesla: "My teacher was also an instructor of Zefa back then, in a sense, I am still your senior brother, this kind of thing, it is nothing ......"
After seeing that the surrounding sailors were dispersed, Tesla pondered for a moment before slowly walking in front of Captain Wells, staring into the other party's eyes, and asking word by word: "So, I also have a question I want to ask senior brother, ...... you?"
ββ¦β¦ Whose people the hell are! β
"Huh? What do you mean? Captain Wells had a look on his face that looked like a smile rather than a smile.
After adding a few points to his intelligence, Tesla found that his observation and even judgment of things had improved greatly.
Before, he would never have thought of this problem.
"I believe that the reason why Captain Wells chose this route of return must be under order, but whose order it was, this is what I am most curious about. Could you please explain it to me? Tesla suddenly had a smile on his face.
The expression on Wells' face remained unchanged, still with that strange expression that seemed to be a smile: "This is classified, do you think I will tell you?" β
Tesla shook his head, walked past Captain Wells behind him, and looked out at the endless sea: "I'm sure, you'll tell me!" β
Without waiting for Captain Wells to speak, Tesla said to himself: "I have investigated, in the past, the admiral and colonel who escorted the heavenly gold escort fleet every year had the right to make decisions on the spot. Moreover, the greatest significance of this right is that the escort fleet has the right of veto on any orders that originate from the Navy Headquarters or even the governments of the world to dismiss or even divert voyages before the Heavenly Gold is sent to the Navy Headquarters. This means that how the escort fleet will return depends entirely on the personal ideas of the commander-in-chief. So, if there is any secret about the return route of Upside Down Mountain, it is unlikely that it came from the Navy Headquarters or even the government of the world, right? β
"Very interesting idea, but secrets are always secrets, and I still don't need to tell you...... In this way, you and your partner Tina actually mean the same thing, so why did you choose to let her go just now? Captain Wells slowly walked up to Tesla's side, and as he looked at the endless blue sea in the distance, he suddenly chuckled.
"Because, she's too naΓ―ve, too innocent......" Tesla turned his head and stared at Wells:
ββ¦β¦ There are some things that I don't think she needs to touch now. After all, the justice of the Navy to her, but the sacred cannot be in the sacred faith. I don't want her to lose hope in the Navy because of this kind of thing. β
"Tut-tut, having a partner like you is a blessing for this little girl. But so what, I still won't tell you the secret! Captain Wells' face was filled with confidence and certainty.
Tesla suddenly showed a strange expression: "Really? Let me guess who is the person behind you? β
"Well, for example, could it be my unmasked senior brother, now Admiral, Akainu: Sakasky?"
The smile on Wells' face froze suddenly......
