Volume 2 Fighting on the Sea Chapter 146 Deployment
Navy Headquarters Marin Vando, Office of the Sengoku Admiral.
If there are people in the DPRK and there are serious consequences, they will generally be verbally reprimanded and their allowances will be deducted for several months.
Obviously, Searle belongs to the second type, in addition to his own outstanding military achievements, most of the top management of the navy maintains a good relationship with him, therefore, for Searle's unauthorized departure from his post was brought over three or two sentences, and even the allowance was not deducted, and sure enough, he still responded to the old saying, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do.
Ordinary officers leave their posts without permission, which is actually a norm, but commanders are different, after all, they are responsible for the security of a large area, why do they leave easily?
If the commander leaves his post without permission, if this matter is left on the heads of others, it is estimated that even if he is not sent to a military court, his dismissal is indispensable.
Searle had to be glad he had chosen the right team.
Previously, the navy was divided into three factions, namely hawks, neutrals, and doves.
Although they all belong to the same camp, the treatment is very different.
It can be said that the current top brass of the Navy led by the Steel Bone Sky are all dovish.
Steelbone Sky and Sengoku are both doves, Zefa and the non-caring Karp belong to the neutral faction, and as for the eagle brand, he was kicked out of the top of the navy at the time of the change.
As soon as the boss left, the younger brother below had a hard time, and those hawkish members who were supposed to serve in the ministry were either assigned to the Sihai branch or placed in positions without real power.
It can be said that this year's navy is unprecedentedly unified, at least no one jumped out to contradict the top brass.
In the long run, this is not a good thing, and the internal unity of the navy means that the government will implement a certain policy of repression.
It is well known that the navy is the face of the government, however, the government will never allow an overly powerful navy to go ahead of the government.
Let me ask, can a leader really tolerate the existence of a subordinate who is stronger than him?
The answer, of course, is no, the stronger the navy, the more chips in the hand, and when the chips reach a certain limit, they will be anti-customer. When the time comes, the navy will be out of the government's control, which is much more terrifying than pirates.
When the navy has a tendency to break away from the government's control, repression also ensues. The government thinks so, and of course it does.
Later, the king's Seven Martial Seas and deliberately supported the rise of the hawks were all aimed at further limiting the power of the navy.
On the one hand, the existence of the Seven Martial Seas is to fight against the increasing number of pirates, and on the other hand, it is also to give the navy a constraint and suppress the power of the navy.
Searle first simply told everyone the reason, process, and result of his trip, of course, there are many of them that must be deleted, deleted, and reduced, such as Claes's identity, those high-tech from the moon, and his own life experience.
It's just that Claes is described as a crazy bastard who kidnaps many giants and is eventually defeated by Serge.
Since there are more important things at the moment, Sengoku and the others did not take Searle's report to heart, and if they thought about it carefully, they would find that it was full of loopholes.
Although Sengoku did not continue to reprimand Serge, it could still be heard from that angry tone that he would be very angry.
"Hmph, the next thing to talk about is the plan jointly decided by the government, the Draconians, the member countries of the world, and the naval headquarters." Sengoku solemnly picked up the document from the table.
"In view of the increasingly complex situation in the new world, the headquarters decided to rebuild the G1 branch of the navy, and appointed Vice Admiral ~ Selj Dingle as the commander of the G1 branch to oversee the overall situation." Sengoku read word by word.
"Wait, Lieutenant General? What's going on? Serge interrupted.
"Bastard. Can't you just wait for me to finish? Sengoku glared at Serre in displeasure.
Perhaps realizing his rudeness, Serge immediately kept silent.
"This is a decision made by the top, you are not qualified to question it!!" Warring States said in a deep voice: "In addition to the fact that this matter is related to your military exploits over the years, you should thank these colleagues more." ”
Speaking of this, Ah He continued to explain after the words of the Warring States: "At that time, the high-level meeting voted by a show of hands as a whole, and the outcome was almost unanimously approved. ”
"Nani? All passed!! Searle's eyes widened.
"Hehehe, there's nothing surprising about this, Kong Shuai has always had great expectations for you, plus your group of fox friends and dogs, isn't it natural to pass that?"
Zefa nodded and said: "Although your qualifications do not meet the standards that a vice admiral should have, this time is different, what is needed to garrison the G1 branch is strength, and your strength should be the strongest since the lieutenant general and below, so no one refutes it." ”
"Less liar, isn't there still Mr. Karp?" Serge pointed to Karp, who was dozing off.
I really don't know if this guy is really asleep or fake, but as soon as Serge mentioned his name, he woke up immediately.
"Ahh Ahahahaha, don't get involved with the old man in this matter, I still want to take a long vacation to go home and have a look. Karp laughed.
"Shut up Karp, can't you bastard make a statement for all the soldiers? Also, how many times have you refused to be promoted to general? Sengoku roared.
"Poof~ Oops, why did you say this again, didn't I say it? To live freely does not need to be of such a high status. Karp stood up impatiently and snatched the senbei from Searle's hand.
"Wait, that's mine... Seriscella smack.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the old man wants to try it too. Karp waved his hand, not in the slightest intention of returning it.
"That's too much, Mr. Kap." In desperation, Searle couldn't help muttering.
"Hahahaha~" Zefa couldn't help laughing.
Zefa in this period is far less serious than decades later, in Searle's opinion, even if he usually behaves very seriously, he is actually pretending to be inside.
"Damn, Karp, you bastard... Looking at Karp's appearance, Sengoku slapped the table and said angrily.
"Alright, let's get down to business first, Karp's affairs are still up to him." Lieutenant General Ah He spoke.
After all, they are old comrades-in-arms for many years, and they all have a certain understanding of each other, although Karp said that he refused to be a general because of freedom, but in fact, the Warring States knew in his heart that the main reason why Karp refused was that he was a Tianlong person, what does it mean to be a general? Of course, Sengoku is clear, and besides, Karp is D, and the Draconians will not trust a person of the D clan.
Since Atsuru has given a step, Sengoku does not intend to continue.
"As a soldier, you should obey orders unconditionally, and you can't refuse that. Do you understand Searle? Sengoku stared at Seldao.
"Well, that's all for the sake of that, of course I don't have any opinions." Searle spread his hands and said, "But since you want to rebuild the G1 branch, you have to tell me the distribution of soldiers, and you can't let me lead a group of recruits to garrison the new world." ”
The danger level of the new world is not comparable to that of Paradise, let alone recruits, even the elites of each branch are not qualified, unless they are the elites of the headquarters.
In addition, Locks spent so much money to destroy the G1 before, so he won't watch the Navy rebuild the G1, right?
"Of course, I won't send you a group of recruits, you can rest assured that the soldiers who follow you are all the elite of the Navy Headquarters." Ah He replied.
"Well, what about the other officer configurations? Less to say, you have to assign a few generals. ”
According to the normal configuration of the navy, the branch of the Great Route has always been composed of a lieutenant general, two major generals, two brigadier generals, four colonels, etc., and the G1 is the most important, with only a lot more troops than other branches.
"The officers are also drawn from the generals of the headquarters, the deputy commander is your old friend Stanford, as for the other officers, they are all deployed and assigned according to twice the normal branch, and you can see for yourself the specific personnel." With that, Sengoku handed Searle another document.
"Stanford? I remember that this guy was not one of the five permanent lieutenant generals of the headquarters? Searle wondered.
"No way, this is Stanford's initiative to apply, and we can't stop it, after all, he belongs to the hawks, and some high-level officials are eager to send him out."
Since the change of power, Stanford's situation has also been slightly heard, and he is the only one of the five permanent lieutenant generals who is a member of the last hawk, and it is natural that he will be excluded.
For him, it is a good thing to follow Searle to G1, as a friend, Selford would like him to help station, not to mention Stanford's strength is obvious to all, among the many lieutenant generals, he can also firmly occupy the top three, of course, it is now fourth, who let Searle be promoted.
Although the navy of this era is not as strong as that of the Akainu in terms of strength, it is also the strongest in the navy since its establishment.
Searle opened the job list and took a general look, and the headquarters sent a total of two lieutenant generals this time, namely Searle and Stanford.
Four major generals, four brigadier generals, and ten colonels, although most of them don't know each other, Searle has rarely stayed in the headquarters since he joined the navy, and among the many generals, he knows only a few who have a good relationship with him, and there are nearly 100 generals in the headquarters, how many can he know?
Let's not talk about the strength of these people, just the introduction behind is a lot, time is pressing, and Searle doesn't have time to check them one by one, as far as the current lineup is concerned, Searle has enough confidence to be stationed in G1.
"When are you leaving?" Serge asked casually.
"The sooner the better, the situation has become more and more unstable lately." Ah He replied.
"Your task is very heavy, you know, in recent years, the power of the Rocks Pirates has become bigger and bigger, not only the Locks Pirates, but also the many affiliated pirates under its banner."
Zefa said in a deep tone: "According to accurate information, Newgate, Shiki, these guys have joined the Cross Big Ship Regiment. ”
"Liar! How did that bastard join Cross? He's not the kind of man who is subservient to others, I haven't met Newgate, but I've heard of his reputation, that kind of monster actually joined the Cross Pirates? Searle had a look of disbelief.
"Who knows, what do they think? In short, the sea became more and more chaotic in the future, especially the new world, which completely became the world of pirates. To tell you the truth, I don't agree to send you, it's too dangerous, even with your strength, your life is in danger. Sengoku worried.
"Cut." Although Serge didn't want to admit it, it was true, even if he did, he didn't have the slightest chance to get out of the hands of many strong people.
In the face of such a situation, will Searle back down? The answer is no, Searle was not afraid from the beginning, achieving ambition is a one-way street, and there are only two options: win or die.
Garrisoning the G1 branch is the most important springboard in Searle's life, and if you can hold it, you can expect to be a great general, and if you can't hold it, you will die, and there is no room for turnaround.
"No problem, leave this matter to me, as long as I'm alive, G1 will definitely not fall!!" A resounding answer.
"All for the sake of justice!!" Everyone stood up and saluted.
The heavy burden was pressed on Searle's shoulders like this, he looked at the few friends in front of him, put his fist on his chest and said, "All for justice!" ”
After saying that, Searle strode out of Sengoku's office and walked towards the school grounds.
……
On the campus of the Navy Headquarters.
At a glance, the entire school field was full of people, including ordinary soldiers, officers, and generals, and roughly calculated at least several thousand, and the actual number was probably more than this number.
There is no doubt that these officers and soldiers are all sailors who will be sent to the G1 branch, and of course, in the face of the large number of pirates in the New World, this number is indeed a bit unimpressive.
However, the headquarters has limited troops, and the transfer from east to west has only enough of these people, you must know that in addition to the headquarters, all sea areas of the park need to be guarded by sailors, and these thousands of people are already the limit of what can be dispatched at present.
In this way, the officers and soldiers who were sent to the G1 branch heard the notice and came to the school field early to wait for the new commander.
Perhaps the officers at the bottom did not know the commander who was about to lead them to the new world, and in addition to the faint expectation, there was more fear in their hearts.
Why? As early as a few years ago, in the invasion incident, all the officers and soldiers of the G1 branch, including the former general, were shattered, and in their minds, the G1 branch was equivalent to a battlefield, a hell where people would die if they were not careful.
The so-called incompetence of one general exhausts the three armies, and if the headquarters cannot send a strong general, then this operation is equivalent to sending them to death.
The fear of death is the instinct of all living beings, as for why they are still standing here? Aside from the fact that they must obey orders as soldiers, their justice does not allow them to back down.
It is natural that the low-level officers do not know, after all, the reconstruction plan of the G1 branch was secretly negotiated by the high-level, and once it is leaked, I am afraid it will cause some trouble.
"Who the hell is the new commander?"
"It should be a powerful general, you see that Lieutenant General Stanford is only a deputy commander, which means that the commander is at least stronger than Lieutenant General Stanford."
"What? Better than Lieutenant General Stanford? Could it be that he is a general? ”
"Hehe, who knows."
……
The officers below were talking, and even a few guys kept asking Stanford.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Stanford muttered, as a member of the top echelons of the Navy, of course Stanford knew who the new commander was, and it was because he knew that he would say this.
In his impression, Serge belongs to the kind of person who is very punctual, and it is impossible to be late for no reason to release the pigeons, there must be something delayed in the middle.
"Lieutenant General Stanford, do you know the new lieutenant general?" A major general asked cautiously.
"Hmm." Stanford glanced at the major general, nodded, and said, "Of course I know, that's a monster-like guy." ”
Stanford sighed, his mind conjudicing Searle's appearance and the image of the two fighting side by side in his memory.
"I haven't seen each other for so long, and I don't know what this guy has become."
In Stanford's memory, he has long regarded Searle as a strong man at the same level as the Golden Lion, and this guy is the one who successfully survived the G1 battle.
"Monsters?" The rear admiral carefully recalled, but in his impression, it seemed that the navy did not have the same general as Vice Admiral Stanford had described, except for Vice Admiral Karp.
The Navy Headquarters needs Vice Admiral Karp to guard it, so Karp is excluded, so who is this person? Could it be that they are new to joining?
No, it seems that among the many generals, there is really such a monster.
The lieutenant general remembered a man, a major general of the Giant Clan.
"Could it be that you're talking about that?"
"Shhhh Stanford laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes." The lieutenant general nodded, although Lieutenant General Stanford did not say it explicitly, but from the few words, the answer could already be drawn that the new commander was most likely the monster of the giant clan.
"It seems that the answer has been revealed." Stanford smiled and glanced toward the school door.
While the sailors were talking, a tall general bypassed the school yard and walked up to the oath-taking platform.
"Look, it looks like a giant lieutenant general standing on the stage." A captain said to his companion.
"Are you stupid? Where is this Giant Lieutenant General, haven't you seen Giant Lieutenant General? Is the giant taller than this lieutenant general? A major retorted.
"I think so." The captain looked at it closely, rejecting his previous opinion.
Serge is a half-blood giant, and his height is indeed a little smaller than that of a pure-blood giant.
You must know that normal male adult giants are at least twelve meters or more, even adult female giants are more than ten meters, and Serre is between seven and eight meters at most, which is indeed not as tall as traditional giants.
The average height of people in the Pirate World varies greatly, from an ordinary height of 1.7 meters like Luffy to a small giant of 7 meters like Moonlight Moria, so Searle's height is still within the range of humans.
"By the way, will this lieutenant general be our new commander?"
Hearing him say this, more and more people turned their eyes to the oath platform, and the school field slowly became quiet.
