73. Naval Strategy
Russell Shipley is a little cramped, he is not a shy and introverted person, but he is nervous in front of Miss Rocky. He didn't know why, maybe it was because his long career at the Naval Academy had left him unfamiliar with how to communicate with civilians.
"I've always admired you, Major Russell." Loki pointed to Russell's left chest: "Unlike those naval officers in high positions, you not only carry justice behind your back, but also in your heart. ”
"I'm flattered by your appreciation, Miss Loki." Russell's handsome face was slightly red, and he only felt ashamed: "But since graduating from the Naval Academy, I have been assigned to the Chambord Islands branch, patrolling every day, and I have not made any achievements, but I don't deserve Miss Loki's praise." ”
"No, no, no need to say that." Loki waved his hand and said, "I believe Major Russell is just missing a chance to perform. ”
"Miss Loki, did you mean there will be a chance for me to perform?" Despite his political acumen, Russell picked up on Loki's blunt words. He knew that the blue-haired woman in front of him was now the wife of the Celestial Dragons.
"Lord Willibald did have an idea with me." Loki picked up the small teacup and took a sip of black tea, frowned at Russell's expectant eyes and said, "But that will have an impact on Misha's family business, and you also know that Misha is my best friend." I'm also struggling to convince Willibald Holy to give up on this idea. ”
"Is it convenient for Miss Loki to reveal to me that idea of Lord Willibald Saint?" Russell's body leaned forward slightly.
"There's nothing to keep secret, but I'd like to hear professional advice from you, Major Russell." Loki waved his hand and continued
"His Holiness Willibald wanted to form a raid picket in the Chambord Islands to search and dismantle the illegal coating business. ”
"Coating?" Russell frowned.
"Lord Willibald told me why he came up with this idea." Loki straightened up.
"Major Russell, what do you think kept the New World out of the hands of the Navy, and even kept the Navy's power firmly around a few naval branches in the New World?"
"Because Whitebeard Edward, Bigmom, and Kaido are too powerful, the pirate forces in the New World greatly exceed the pirate forces in the first half of the Great Voyage, and they can't control it with the current strength of the navy......"
"Major Russell, I expect to hear your thoughts after careful consideration, not philistine." Loki stared at the young navy in front of him, his voice slightly louder.
Russell furrowed his heroic eyebrows, breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke.
"Because the first half of the Great Voyage was a blood transfusion to the New World, those powerful and potential pirates continued to pour into the New World, challenging the position of the New World Overlord and being absorbed by the current Overlord."
Receiving a satisfactory reply, Loki smiled appreciatively at the young lieutenant in front of him.
"Willibald Holy Lord said the same thing, so he wants to form an assault picket team to control and even eliminate the illegal coating, and cut off the way for pirates to enter the great shipping route through Fish-Man Island."
"No, you can't!" Russell accentuated his tone slightly, "Miss Loki, please let Lord Willibald Holy dispel this idea. ”
"Major Russell, are you also worried about affecting the Misha family's business? I understand! Loki's pale eyes showed disappointment.
"No, it's not," Russell frowned and continued, "This is a grand strategy that only a few elite navies know, but in order to dispel the thoughts of Lord Willibald Saint, I also have to tell you. ”
"The Navy actually ...... All this time they have been letting pirates enter the Great Voyage! Russell felt a pang of shame in his heart when he told this truth, although this was the strategy of the Navy, it was dirty and powerless.
"Because the strength of the navy is not enough to deal with the huge number of pirates in the four seas, if the pirates are not allowed to enter the great route, just chasing the pirates scattered in the four seas will make the navy exhausted."
"That's right, I see!" Loki nodded: "It's the same as setting up a high-tax Happy Street in order to cancel the ****......"
"Ah...... I'm sorry! My analogy is inappropriate! Looking at the young lieutenant admiral on the other side, whose face was flushed and full of shame, Loki smiled and waved.
The smile seemed ironic to the ashamed Russell.
"I'll tell Willibald St. that it's a naval strategy......"
"Wait......" Russell couldn't help but say, "Lord Willibald's method may not be impossible!" ”
Although the Navy's strategy is like this, many navies within the Navy are not satisfied with this strategy of compromising with the bad status quo!
In fact, the young Russell was one of the navies dissatisfied with this strategy. He even contradicted Mr. Zefa because of this.
A fire slowly burned in Russell's heart, fierce and passionate.
Every aspiring young navy has fantasized about becoming a hero in the era of eliminating pirates, and now a rare opportunity is in front of Russell.
"It's not necessarily impossible to try this strategy!"
"Is that so?" Loki asked, blinking.
"If you can't get through Fish-Man Island, the pirates will probably stay in the first half of the Great Voyage, and the impact will not be as great as returning directly to the four seas." Russell nodded heavily, as if convincing himself.
"And once we control the pirates' path to the New World, the pressure on the New World Navy will be greatly reduced, and we can even start to consider a strategy to eliminate pirates like Whitebeard!"
"Try...... That's what Willibald St. meant! The recognition from the professionals obviously made Ms. Loki happy: "Although Lord Willibald Saint is a noble Celestial Dragon, it is not convenient for him to meddle in the affairs of the navy. If you apply to the world government, you may fall into a long process again. ”
"During this time, I don't know how many pirates will escape into the Great Voyage."
"I've heard that the heinous criminal clown is still missing, maybe he has fled to the New World!"
'Joker! Mr. Zefa! Loki's words flashed through Russell's mind like a thunderbolt.
The clown who once tore him apart was his nightmare, and it was a shame for him to let the clown take away their chief instructor!
The Navy has not found any trace of Chief Instructor Zefa so far, maybe the Joker really fled to the New World with Zefa?
No...... He would never allow that to happen.
In case of...... In case the Joker allies with Whitebeard, Bigmom, or Kaido to execute Zefa like the Navy publicly executes One Piece, then what would the Navy do?
"Miss Loki, I will submit this proposal to the head of the Mudd branch, and I hope to have the support of Lord Willibald Saint!" Russell stood up and said.
"Of course, that's what Willibald Holy meant!" Loki raised an eyebrow and replied, "I hope that Major Russell will be the captain of this picket by then!" ”
"I'm not going to let it go!" So said the young naval lieutenant.
