242. General alternate and help
"You bastard boy, is it easy for the old man to come all the way from the East China Sea? After arriving, not to mention that there was no battle, it is a good thing that you ended the war early, and it is even better to be able to defeat that guy with Whitebeard without the old man. However, after you have fought the battle, so many people are in the aftermath and know the gains and losses of this war better than the old man, so let the old man be the master and be responsible for the aftermath, Do you say you are a bastard? Karp was so angry that he blew his beard, though his beard was too short to blow.
Thinking of him as a naval hero, a vice admiral who heard about the war did not even care about his newborn grandson, and rushed from the East China Sea to the new world, where the war was over and the navy won a complete victory.
Needless to say, victory is of course a good thing, especially the hard blow to the old guy with Whitebeard, but everyone knows that the end of the war is sometimes another beginning, and the things after that will be more troublesome than the war itself.
Now such trouble falls on him Karp, and he has a share.
Karp is not afraid of such trouble, the key is that he has not been involved in this war from beginning to end, and he has not even had a chance to edge OB.
It's like a teammate wants to ambush a group, and he is still in his hometown, so he said don't rush the group first, wait for me to fight again, I will win this wave. I didn't expect that before I arrived, the team battle over there was over, and not only did it end, but it also won.
None of this is enough, but it is impossible to say that he is still responsible for dealing with the aftermath, not that he Karp is unwilling, but that others can do better.
Alan looked lazy, and there were bandages in many places on his body: "This matter, you have to go to the Warring States General, because he arranged it, I am just responsible for conveying it, the old man said that you need to use your reputation to appease people's hearts or something, anyway, we don't know, we are just a small lieutenant general and dare not ask." ”
It seems that he has glanced at himself completely, but Karp dares to pack the ticket, this kind of thing is absolutely inseparable from this bastard boy.
"The old man doesn't know that you bastard has a bad stomach, and says that it has nothing to do with you, but the pigs don't believe it." After getting along with Alan for a long time, the old man Karp will also tend to talk close to Allen's habit of talking, "Wait for you, after the matter is over, the old man must let you feel the iron fist of the old man's love, I heard that you have learned Roger's moves ten out of ten, and you can fight with the guy with Whitebeard for half an hour." It just so happens that the old man has also been Roger's opponent for many years, and he knows his combat power very well, so let's have a good fight between the two of us when the time comes. ”
After speaking, regardless of Allen's face, he patted him on the shoulder, "That's it." ”
After Karp left, Allen's face became calm again, the pain mask just now was specially designed for Karp to see, and for a long time, they had no leisure time to fight.
Alan is very sure of this, and he can be regarded as the initiator of this war, but in the end, the aftermath was dealt with by Sengoku, Tsuru, Karp and others.
It wasn't because of anything else, it was that he didn't have the shame to face the soldiers.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated this time, there were three captains who died, and there were eleven captains of the attached pirates, which still did not count the initial Bissaru and the later Skuyad, and the original Whitebeard Pirates with a size of nearly 5,000 people After this battle, the number of people will not exceed 2,000, not counting those who were injured, because almost all the pirates who escaped were injured.
However, the casualties of the Navy were also significant.
More than 600 people died on the spot for various reasons, more than 100 were seriously injured and could not be treated afterwards, and nearly 200 people went missing – basically missing is equivalent to death.
These people are the number of deaths, and the number of injured is even greater, and out of more than 10,000 people, at least two-thirds of the dead are wounded, but it is only a matter of severity.
Among them, there are about 1,000 seriously injured, and half of them will have to be retired from the navy after being cured. Not to mention minor injuries.
Such casualties are not disastrous, especially since Alan has always been on the battlefield, and he has seen how tragic the scene after the war really is.
This is not the death of one person or two, but the number of casualties of thousands, all because of him, this is also the most casualty that Alan has seen since he came to this world, even the Golden Lion did not have so many casualties when he invaded the Navy Headquarters, and the reason why these soldiers are like this is that he Allen chose this war.
Even if he had been mentally prepared, Alan could not have imagined that so many people would die.
There were many of them that he was familiar with, and even the soldiers on his ship were nearly ten of them, and he would never see them.
Although the pirates died more, in Allen's eyes, even the lives of all the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were not as valuable as the lives of a few of his soldiers.
For Allen, those casualties of soldiers are not cold numbers, he can't ignore the deaths of so many people and remain indifferent, even after so many years, the number of pirates who have died in his hands is no longer known.
However, Allen can't say anything about these thoughts, because from the scene, it is indeed the navy that has won.
He could only choose to be alone and silent after learning the casualty figures, and face the soldiers who looked at him with reverence.
After leaving Ellen, Karp meets Sengoku and Tsuru.
Sengoku raised his head and asked, "How is it, Eren didn't have a problem, right?" ”
"It seems that the casualties of the soldiers hit him hard, but it is more than just asking." Karp sat on the chair and folded his arms, where was the look of anger just now, "This kid will definitely blame himself for the casualties of the soldiers now, but with what I know about him, after a while, he will be able to come out on his own." This is a heart disease, and he needs to get rid of it himself. None of our old guys had ever gone through such a stage, Alan was better than us, and he would be fine. ”
Karp at this time is a rare seriousness.
In the Navy, a battle of this magnitude may not occur once in a few years or even decades, but once it is experienced, it usually grows greatly.
Tsuru said: "It's hard for him, Alan is different from us, he sometimes seems to have a lot of things he doesn't care about, and he shows that he likes money so much, almost to the point of obsession." But we all know that his justice is the most merciful. ”
A person's words and appearances can deceive people, but they all have the ability to see the essence through phenomena.
The mercy in Vice Admiral Tsuru's mouth certainly does not mean to the pirates, but to the naval soldiers and the vast number of ordinary people in this world.
Of the three of them, Sengoku is a staunch enforcer of order, and in order to maintain order, he can do many things that seem unjust.
Karp is very similar to Alan in this regard, so the relationship between the two is the best, but Karp may have been in the Navy for too long and has many constraints in his actions, so he can't be as straightforward and decisive as Allen.
Not to mention herself.
Sengoku nodded, knowing that what Tsuru said was true, and the rift in the relationship between him and Allen was in their attitude towards ordinary civilians.
"I don't want to mention that, anyway, this time we won the victory, and the soldiers who died are certainly worth remembering, the wounded soldiers also need medical treatment, and even the families of the soldiers need to be comforted. But it is imperative that these victorious soldiers be awarded the honors they deserve. Medals, military exploits, and bonuses must be calculated as soon as possible, and the situation of this war needs to be announced to the public through the newspapers, so that everyone in the world can understand that we have won. ”
Sengoku put his arm on the table, and while looking at the information on the table, he said, "First pass the news of this victory through the newspaper, our victory will bring the prestige of the Whitebeard Pirates to the bottom, I believe that when the news spreads all over the world, more pirates will definitely challenge Whitebeard, which is a good thing for us, and it is also a good thing for the new world." ”
"And Kaido." Tsuru took over and said, "I didn't expect that in a few years, Kaido has grown to this extent, this time his appearance, although it seems that the end is very miserable, but you have not been able to cause him particularly serious injuries, if it is not expected, his fruit ability should have completed the awakening." Only in this way can we explain why his strength has increased so much, we all know how powerful the increase will be to him after the awakening of the animal fruit ability, not to mention that he is still a very rare but powerful phantom beast species in the animal system.
I believe that Kaido, who fled in a hurry this time, will definitely have a lot of unwillingness, Kaido is very scheming, but his moody personality will make him often act recklessly, no matter what the reason for this appearance is, it must be far from his thoughts, I can't say that he will find trouble with Whitebeard in the future, of course, it may also be ours, which cannot be guarded against. ”
Karp said, "The old man will stay in the New World, do you want to keep Alan here too?" I heard that he was on a par with Whitebeard before, but what was going on, the old man hadn't asked him yet. ”
Tsuru explained: "It should be an explosive ability, we don't know the specific reason, this is Allen's secret, there is no need to investigate, but this ability should have some kind of price." ”
"Alan is not fit to stay here." Sengoku shook his head and vetoed Karp's proposal, "We all know that most of the credit for being able to defeat Whitebeard this time should be his, and I think that after this war, Marshal Sky will soon promote him to a general candidate." Moreover, not counting his strange ability to explode, Allen's own strength should be close to the level of a general, and at this time, the battle is not the most important, he needs to complete the accumulation of this stage in order to complete the last leap, and this process may not be very short. ”
"Who would have thought that such a young man would be able to grow to such a point in less than ten years." Karp sighed, and then let out his trademark laugh, "Ahahahaha, fortunately, the old man was wise and talented, and he could see at a glance that this kid Alan was not an ordinary person, and with the old man's careful teaching, he could grow up so fast." ”
Sengoku and Tsuru tacitly gave Karp a roll of the eyes and didn't argue with him.
"And one more question about Sakasky."
"Sakasky didn't show much, this time he almost was able to kill Diamond Joz, I will report the situation, and it is not surprising that Marshal Kong will promote him to lieutenant general again."
"And what about the treacherous fellow Polusalino?"
"Considering the role he played in the war this time, I propose to promote him to the rank of general candidate like Allen, what do you think?"
Karp said: "I have no opinion. "He has a normal sense of Polusalino, and among the three natural abilities in the navy, his favorite is Kuzan, not because Kuzan has been his lieutenant and follows him for a long time, but because Kuzan's style of behavior is very compatible with Karp.
Sakasky and Polusalino did not approve of the style.
Of course, if you don't recognize it, you don't recognize it, as long as it's a good situation for the navy, he won't embarrass these two people, and even say good things for them.
Crane also nodded: "This is a good way, in this way, it will not let Allen be too popular, the five old stars and the Tianlong people and even Cp0 have always had a bad impression of him, and the promotion of the two at the same time can be regarded as his protection." ”
When Karp heard Tsuru's words, his eyes showed obvious disgust, but in the end he didn't say anything, but snorted coldly: "Hmph, Draconian." ”
They still have a lot to deal with, and after a brief discussion, they quickly disperse and start to work again.
……
……
On the sea, many ships of the navy suffered different damages due to the huge waves caused by Whitebeard's ability, and two of the more unlucky ones directly hit the reef and sank to the bottom.
After the end of the war, urgent repairs to the ships also began.
Even if Allen's car was not on it, there was a lot of damage, and it would definitely be difficult to drive for a while.
It is now being urgently patched.
Of course, these tasks are in charge of the shipwright, and Alan only needs to stay in his own office for a good rest now, after all, he is the one who has contributed the most to this war, and as long as he appears, countless fanatical eyes must follow him, and it feels like they want to give him up.
Under these circumstances, coupled with his own guilt for these soldiers, he had to stay alone in his office.
A figure quietly pushed the door open, walked in from the outside, and locked the door behind it.
Alan opened his eyes, and a very beautiful face became clear in his sight.
She went straight to the inside of the desk, crouched down on her knees, grabbed Alan's hand and placed it on her fair face.
"It's not your fault, Alan." She said softly.
Allen's face became soft: "I actually know that if so many pirates die, I don't know how many times fewer civilians will be harmed, but I just can't get over this threshold in my heart." ”
"I'll help you......"
"It's okay, let me be quiet...... Hiss~"
Eren pressed Gion's head down.
Outside the door, Rosinandi was also wrapped in a bandage, and he lit a cigarette, and a black shield silently shrouded Alan's office.
He turned and walked away.
