Volume 2 The Fight on the Sea Chapter 40 Lieutenant General A He
Not long after Serge left the marshal's office, several admirals entered the marshal's office.
"Is there anything important to call us over in such a hurry?" An old man in a kimono asked.
"I'm going to make a bad announcement." The Sri Lankan marshal looked ashamed and said to the generals in the office.
Almost all of the people present here are the current senior admirals of the Navy, the real top of the Navy, and the lowest rank among them is also a rear admiral.
"The World Government has decided to ban the G1 Division of the New World!" Sri Lanka closed his eyes and said in a heavy tone.
Hearing this, the whole office fell silent, and even if a needle dropped, it could be heard clearly.
"Nani, what's the joke? I think you know better than anyone the importance of the G1 Division to the Navy, why don't you object! The old man in the kimono slammed his fist on the armrest, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed.
Behind the old man in kimono, about two-thirds of the generals opened their mouths to question.
"Yes, the establishment of the G1 fortress must not be canceled."
"Our Navy firmly disagrees with this kind of thing."
"The eyes of the top government are too short-sighted." Even Karp, who is usually very aggressive, is very angry.
Although Sengoku did not speak, the crushed corner of the table in his hand fully showed his anger.
Sri Lanka sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Jiankong and I tried to oppose it, but this matter was decided by the five old stars themselves. β
The Sword Sky General turned his head, snorted coldly and did not speak.
At the mention of the Five Old Stars, the excited generals were silent. No matter what the navy says, it is just a faΓ§ade of the government, and since the world's top decision-makers have spoken, what qualifications do the top brass of the navy have to refute it?
"However, if the G1 Division is banned, our Navy will lose control of the new world, and the G2 and G5 Divisions will become precarious." After the old man in the kimono calmed down, he calmly analyzed.
The words of the old man in kimono made many generals fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the office became very awkward for a while.
"The government intends to abandon the new world, and our navy only needs to guard the first half of the great route, and the five old stars plan to do so." Sri Lanka broke the embarrassing situation.
After saying this, Sri Lanka became hesitant.
"If there is any bad news, let's announce it at the same time, Marshal Sri Lanka!" The old man in the kimono sighed.
As an old friend for many years, he knew too well the character of the admiral in front of him.
Somehow, many admirals had a sense of foreboding.
"Just a few days ago, G1 Fortress was destroyed by the Cross Pirates, and the Stygian Rock General was killed in battle. In addition, the government intends to reduce military spending this year and cancel the conscription program! Sri Lanka took a deep breath and simply closed his eyes and told all the bad news in one go.
The long list of news from Sri Lanka was like a stone thrown into the calm waters, and everyone present exploded.
"What idiot decision is this, and why is it being told now?"
"How did Mr. Mantas die?"
"It happened a few days ago, why didn't it be made public?"
"What a stupid decision! Just let the government cancel all the establishment of the navy. β
It was almost a total protest, and it was a clear government crackdown on the navy.
"Quiet !!" Sri Lanka opened his eyes and roared, "As admirals, you are so disrespectful! This is the government's decision, don't forget who you are! β
The angry generals were crushed by Sri Lanka.
"What kind of bullshit justice is this!" The old man in the kimono stood up and slammed the door.
Nearly a third of the admirals followed, including Admiral Kenku, who had been reticent.
For a moment there was silence in the marshal's office.
After a long time, Sengoku stood up and saluted Sri Lanka and said, "I have taken my leave from the Sri Lankan Marshal in advance!" β
After saying that, Sengoku turned around and left the office, and this time nearly half of the generals left with Sengoku.
"I suddenly remembered that some work was not done~," Karp said as he got up, and then left.
There were only a few generals left in the office, and the Sri Lankan marshal seemed to have been drained of his strength and slumped in his chair.
"It doesn't look like I'm fit to stay in this position anymore." The Sri Lankan marshal stared blankly at the ceiling and said, "It's time to choose an heir!" β
From this point of view, it seems that the Navy does not know a single heart.
β¦β¦
Searle went around and around and didn't know how many times he got lost, the roads in the Navy Headquarters were really in all directions, and I really didn't know how those recruits marked the direction.
Along the way, he did meet a few soldiers standing guard, and after thinking about it, Serge decided not to ask, this is really too embarrassing, like a countryman who has just entered the city.
"Boom~Boom~"
"Huh? The sound of a fight? As Searle walked to a passageway, he heard the sound of blunt objects colliding from a short distance.
Hurry to pass through this area, and sure enough, a building that looks like a dojo appears in Searle's eyes.
There were several navy officers in the dojo who were engaged in a fierce competition with bamboo swords in their hands, and the sound of blunt weapons colliding just now should have come from here.
Serge's tall size quickly caught the attention of the soldiers inside.
"Hey, who are you? Why is it here! An officer of unknown rank stared at Searle and asked in a deep voice.
With a rugged face and a serious expression, this guy looks like an iron-blooded officer.
"Well, I'm a new recruit in the Navy and I'm lost." Serge rubbed his nose awkwardly and replied.
"Recruits? Where's your uniform? Didn't anyone tell you to wear a military uniform inside the fortress? The officer yelled inwardly.
"I haven't had time to lead the army yet, I'm looking for the department." Serge replied truthfully.
"I haven't heard of any conscription in the headquarters lately." The officer said in a deep voice: "Okay, you come with me!" β
"What the hell is going on here? The... Sir. Serge asked.
"I'm Lieutenant Colonel Tenis of the Navy Headquarters, just call me Lieutenant Colonel Tenis, here, of course, it's the daily kendo training of the Navy." Tenis proudly introduced.
"It's the same level." Serge muttered to himself.
In fact, he was wrong, the Sri Lankan marshal assigned him as the adjutant of the commander of the G3 fortress belongs to the lieutenant colonel of the division, and in a sense the status is a little lower than the lieutenant colonel of the headquarters. Of course, in terms of military rank, the two are of the same rank.
Tenis led Searle to an office somewhere sat an aging navyman.
"Report to Colonel Gray, this recruit needs a military uniform." Tenes saluted the old navy.
Gray nodded, put on his reading glasses and stretched out his hand to gesture, and Serge took out his papers and handed them to the old navy.
"Well, there is no one in the existing naval uniforms that fit you, the giants' uniforms are too big, and the ordinary soldiers' are too small, it's really difficult." Colonel Gray held his eyes and glanced at Serge, then looked at his documents again, then took back his glasses and said, "The recruits who just joined the Navy will be given the rank of lieutenant colonel directly?" β
"Come back tomorrow morning and get it, I'll let the people down there rush the work." Colonel Gray said in a deep voice.
"Oh? I've found it. A tall female officer walked into the office.
The female officer in front of her is about thirty years old, combining capable temperament, feminine beauty and warrior heroism, and her black ponytail highlights her charm even more.
"I've seen Major General Ahe!" Gray and Tenis saluted at the same time.
As soon as Searle saw it, he also saluted a not-so-standard military salute.
"Is there anything you are doing here?" Gray asked solemnly.
Lieutenant General Ah He chuckled, pointed at Serge and said, "I came to find him, I was afraid that he would get lost, but I didn't expect him to be able to find this by himself." β
"Looking for me?" Searle asked suspiciously: "Although I don't know what you are looking for me, but I don't have the ability to find it myself, thanks to the help of Lieutenant Colonel Ternis." β
This rear admiral named Ah He should be the future Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, the think tank of the Navy ~ Vice Admiral A He.
"It's nothing, it's just to show you the whole of Marinfando, which is an order from the Marshal of Sri Lanka." Ah He covered his mouth and smiled: "In addition, the Warring States Lieutenant General will let you go to his office." β
Vice Admiral Azuru then led Searle to an office on the second floor of the main building of the Navy Fortress.
