Chapter 524: Marshal Campaign
Prior to this, there had been rumors within the top echelons of the Navy that Sengoku was preparing to abdicate, but when this situation was announced, it undoubtedly caused surprise and shock among many generals.
Of course, people such as Karp, Zefa, He, the three major generals, and Qin Ge were not too surprised by what the Warring States said, and they all sat calmly in place, obviously the Warring States had already communicated with them, the pillars of the navy.
"Okay, there is no need to delve into the question of my resignation, after all, speaking of my age, it is already time to retire, instead of paying attention to this, you should discuss some new marshals first, I don't know if you have any good candidates to recommend!" Warring States waved his hand, immediately glanced at everyone, and asked.
"This, since the Warring States Marshal insists on stepping down, then regarding the choice of the new marshal, I think it is most appropriate for Admiral Akainu!" A hawkish high-ranking officer raised his hand first and pushed Akainu out.
Hearing this, the high-level leaders of the hawks nodded again and again, obviously very satisfied with this choice, after all, Akainu is the leader of their hawks, and Akainu is the marshal, so the next operation of the navy must also be biased towards the iron-blooded style that the hawks like.
"I'm against it, I think it's more appropriate for General Pheasant to take over as marshal!" The hawks have already exerted their strength, and the doves are naturally not to be outdone, and soon someone pushed the pheasant out.
If among the younger generation of the top brass of the Navy, Akainu is the leader of the hawks, then the pheasant is the representative of the doves.
In fact, the struggle between the hawks and the doves has never been interrupted, and it has also led to the fact that among the three major generals, the relationship between the red dog and the green pheasant has always been very strange, and even conflicts of opinion often occur because of different views.
However, not everyone supported Akainu and Pheasant, and soon, someone put forward a different candidate.
"I'm convinced of the talents of Admiral Akainu and Admiral Green Pheasant, but I think there is one person who is more suitable to become the new marshal, and that is Lieutenant General Blood Dragon, I think no one present should be meaningful to Lieutenant Marshal of Blood Dragon!" A high-level person without any faction saw that the discussion was focused on the red dog and the pheasant, so he couldn't help but say out loud the candidate in his mind, that is, Qin Ge.
The originally fierce hawks and doves high-level leaders suddenly quieted down, and almost all the high-level leaders in the conference room couldn't help but focus their eyes on Qin Ge, who was sitting on the side of the main seat.
If before the battle at the top, even if Qin Ge had many dazzling achievements, the hawks and doves would definitely refute for their leaders, but now, in the scene, no one really dared to question whether Qin Ge was qualified to be a marshal.
The red dog and the green pheasant were silent, and the other looked at Qin Ge with burning eyes, the two of them had never made a statement from the beginning, but they naturally had thoughts about the position of marshal in their hearts.
It's just that when Qin Ge was pushed out, the two of them didn't dare to do anything else, but waited for Qin Ge's choice.
Warring States also looked at Qin Ge expectantly, although the pheasant can be said to be the leader of the dove faction after him, but not to mention anything else, in terms of combat power, if you want to say that the candidate who wants to take over the position of marshal the most, he is undoubtedly biased towards Qin Ge in his heart.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't have any interest in the position of marshal, this is not modesty, but I want to be a lieutenant general as free and easy as Lieutenant General Karp, so I will not participate in the marshal race!" Qin Ge felt everyone's gaze, a smile appeared on his face, and waving his hand showed his attitude.
"Hahaha, that's right, what's so good about the marshal, it's more comfortable to be free, Boy Allen, the old man supports you!" Karp laughed heartily when he heard this, and cast an appreciative glance at Qin Ge.
Qin Ge smiled faintly, not being a marshal was a good choice for him, but the real reason was not what he said on the surface, but that a naval marshal could not satisfy his ambitions at all.
"Of course, although I will not run for marshal, I am also a candidate with support, that is General Counsel Zefa, whether it is talent or seniority, I think there is no one present who can compare except for the Warring States Marshal and Lieutenant General Karp!"
Just when many high-level executives who admired Qin Ge were disappointed that Qin Ge did not participate in the marshal election, Qin Ge suddenly answered again, making Zefa, who had been sitting upright and always looking steady, come into everyone's field of vision.
Zefa is not only the previous general, but almost the vast majority of the high-level people present have been trained by Zefa, even if Zefa is not the general adviser, he has to be called Zefa teacher when he meets him, which is naturally enough to prove his prestige and status within the navy.
No one mentioned Zefa before, it was entirely because they subconsciously ignored Zefa, after all, Zefa, Sengoku and Karp are people of the same era, and the new marshal is naturally selected from the new generation that is strong and strong.
It's just that Zefa is obviously different from the older generation of people in the Warring States, after eating the vampire devil fruit, his appearance and body have returned to the strongest youth, and it can even be said that he has achieved immortality.
In this case, Zefa is undoubtedly no different from the younger generation such as Akainu, and in terms of strength, Whitebeard was killed by Zefa's pair of black fists, so there is no doubt about it.
"Yes, Pharaoh Ze... General Counsel Zefa is indeed qualified to run for the position of marshal, and if it is taken over by Mr. Zefa, I have absolutely no opinion! ”
"Yes, the qualifications and talents of General Counsel Zefa are obvious to all, and I also support General Counsel Zefa to take over the position of marshal!"
“......!”
Fueled by Qin Ge, Zefa's heated discussion soon rose in the conference room, and many high-level executives who had accepted the Zefa Church and respected it, as well as the high-level officials who originally supported Qin Ge, undoubtedly stood on Zefa's side.
"Zefa!" Warring States glanced thoughtfully at his old comrade-in-arms, he had also omitted his comrade-in-arms before.
With the particularity of Zefa, it is true that he can participate in the election of the new marshal, and the understanding of Zefa by the Warring States is even more suitable than that of Pheasant and Akainu.
Of course, Zefa's deterrence and prestige do not have to be as high as Qin Ge, after Qin Ge gave up the election, there are still some high-level officials who still insist that Akainu and Pheasant take over the position of marshal.
In this case, the Warring States also let all the high-level votes, although the final candidate still needs to be reported to the five old stars and approved by the five old stars, but the choice within the navy, even the five old stars cannot be taken lightly, and even if it is a one-sided situation, the five old stars cannot change the result.
Under Qin Ge's abstention, the three people who were recognized to participate were Chiinu and Pheasant and Zefa, and when the voting ended, the proportion of votes held by the three was also obvious.
