Chapter 48 Decisions of the Navy Headquarters
As one of the most powerful forces in the world, the navy guards all parts of the sea in its branches, and the naval headquarters in the center is located in Marlene van Gogh.
Marlene van Gogh, unless there are special circumstances, the admiral will always sit here, and there will be a general here.
The admiral who remains today is Admiral Zefa, who is now the chief instructor of the Navy Recruit Battalion, responsible for teaching those new Navy recruits.
As for the Sengoku of the Wisdom Buddha, like Karp, he sails the seas to eliminate some pirates who pose a great threat.
Karp's warship slowly sailed into Marlene van Gogh's harbor, and unlike other warships that needed to be inspected when they entered, Karp's warship was not inspected at all and was allowed to go directly.
In doing so, one is to respect the heroes of the navy, and the other is to trust Karp's strength.
But that's right, Karp's combat power is among the top few in this world, and if even the warship he is sitting on is captured by the enemy, then the navy should also be washed and slept.
Marlene van Gogh's pier was huge, and Esther only glanced at it and saw nearly a hundred large warships.
The Navy has clear rules that only generals above the rank of colonel can own exclusive warships.
Small warships, medium warships, large warships, this is the Navy's classification of warships.
Large warships are the exclusive domain of generals above the rank of lieutenant general, and each large warship is enough to accommodate thousands of people.
Of course, the navy does not have nearly 100 generals above the rank of vice admiral.
Today's navy values strength and military merit, but there are very few admirals who can be promoted.
Bogart told Esther that the nearly 100 warships belonged to the campaign reserve warships, and that in the event of a large-scale war, these warships could send Marlene vangoghne's navy to the battlefield at any time.
Marlene van Gogh, as a large island, was a large military fortress.
The outer layer is a fortress, and the inner layer is the naval headquarters and residential areas.
The residents living here are all family members of the navy, and there are no outsiders.
After Esther entered Marlene van Gogh, he was taken by Bogart to report, that is, to register his identity.
Before, it was only Karp's appointment, which was considered verbal, but now after registering with the Navy Headquarters, he is a real naval ensign.
After that, he received his own benefits, a three-bedroom apartment, navy clothing, and a good salary.
There was nothing to do today, and after Bogart took him to the dormitory, he left directly.
Esther pushed open the door and walked in with Chirulian and Wind Dog, "Yes, we're a householder now!" ”
Esther laughed, of course, just a smile.
"Chirulian, Wind Dog, let's have a good rest today, and let's go find a new partner in the evening!"
Esther suddenly said to the two little ones.
Chirulian and Wind Dog looked up directly, their eyes shining with excitement and joy.
I'm going to add a partner again.,I just don't know which elf partner it's this time.。
Esther smiled slightly, and walked into the kitchen, I have to say, the welfare of naval officers is not bad, the first hall includes the kitchen, pots and pans are all ready, just the conditions for Esther to cook.
……
Marlene van Gogh, a tall, square building can be seen from any angle.
The walls on all four sides are painted with seagull logos representing the navy.
This is the building where the High Command of the Navy Headquarters is located.
From the first floor, there is the confidential department, and at the top, there is the office of the admiral.
At this time, the Marshal's Office was already filled with the top echelons of the Navy.
Sitting behind the desk, after reading the documents, he looked at the core admirals sitting on both sides.
Navy hero with popcorn in his mouth, Vice Admiral Karp.
Sengoku with glasses and a braided beard.
Admiral Zefa with purple hair.
Responsible for the leadership of the General Staff, Vice Admiral, Crane.
"Now, the meeting on the new lieutenant of the Navy, Esther Renault, has officially begun." Empty openings of steel bones.
That's right, because of Esther's appearance, a special meeting was held to discuss Esther's arrangement.
"Hahaha, what else is there to talk about, anyway, I have already recruited this kid, and he is my subordinate!" Kapu laughed and grabbed a large handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth.
Cyborg directly ignored Karp's words, and it could even be said that he was a one-size-fits-all figure.
Steelbone Kong set his eyes on Zefa, Sengoku, and Tsuru.
These are the three who can give him reasonable advice.
Crane thought for a moment and slowly spoke, "If this kid's ability is really the same as what Karp said, then in the future, he will become a strong man on the sea, and the lowest level is a general." ”
"If you can, keep this kid!"
"Ah He is right, if this child's ability is used reasonably, even if it does not increase the 'elf', then it will be enough to add three strong generals to us in the future.
Although the navy's control of the sea is still the same, the number of pirates has increased somewhat rapidly in recent years. ”
Sengoku took out several wanted notices from his document bag and placed them on the table.
"Nowadays, there are too many pirates on the sea, and there are many strong ones, if it weren't for the internal friction between the pirates, it would be impossible to unite, otherwise the position of the navy would be dangerous!"
"The Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Sky Pirates, these three dangers known as legendary pirates on the sea have not been resolved, and a new crisis has emerged."
For the first time, the three bounties were officially Roger, Whitebeard, and the Golden Lion.
The three of them represent the three legendary pirates.
"Below them, there are more than twenty pirates known as sea pirates!"
Sengoku dropped another twenty bounty orders, these twenty people are the captains of twenty pirates, and each of them is a pirate with a bounty of more than one billion Baileys.
There are also a large number of members behind them, and many of them are strong.
"Plus, there are these two!" Sengoku dropped two bounty orders again, and the bounty amount was only 300 million Bailey, which was much lower than the previous pirates.
But compared to the twenty pirates, these two seas obviously made Sengoku feel dignified.
"Charlotte Lingling, one of the captains of the former Rocks Pirates, has been in hiding since the demise of the Rocks Pirates.
According to intelligence, she is building a territory called "All Nations", with more members than the navy in her headquarters.
Kaido, one of the former captains of the Rocks Pirates, also disappeared after the demise of Rocks, but recently, according to intelligence, it seems that his subordinates have been seen active in the vicinity of "Wano Country".
These two people, although they are not famous now, they are on the same level as Whitebeard, and they are both captains of the Rocks Pirates, and they are extremely high-ranked.
And when encircling and suppressing the Rocks Pirates, they were also one of the very few captains who retreated. ”
The Rocks Pirates are all about the supremacy of strength, and the higher the ranking, the stronger the strength.
The strongest Captain Locks was hit hard and fell on the sea.
Whitebeard is second, followed by Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.
"We've been keeping an eye on them all these years, and Whitebeard is very active, and these two are certainly not the ones who dare to be lonely, maybe they're waiting for their time.
In addition to these pirates who are already a threat to the navy, there are also many rookie pirates who are still young but have already shown their edge.
We also need to be vigilant.
What is missing for the pirates now is high-end combat power.
”
Sengoku's words said this, and the steel bones already understood what the other party meant.
"Since Ah He and Sengoku have agreed, I don't have much to say, but this kid needs to go into the training camp and train with other children until the end."
"Not to mention the rest, being able to develop physical skills to this extent at a young age is a good seedling, stronger than those children in the training camp!"
Zefa also had a smile on his face, after all, a good seedling also likes to teach as a teacher.
Of course, the good seedlings here refer to the physical arts.
In terms of ability, Zefa doesn't take it seriously, otherwise he would have a lot of opportunities to eat the Devil Fruit, and he wouldn't be just a strong person now.
"Karp, how's that?" Cyborg asked.
Esther is now under Karp's command, so naturally he needs to ask Karp's opinion.
"Okay, originally I planned to take him with me and cultivate him well, since Zefa you have said so, I will give it to you, but it is only temporary, when he graduates, he still needs to return to my command!"
"That's fine!" Zefa had a smile on his face.
For him, what he likes is to teach his students, and he never asks what happens to them.
……
"Esther, I'm coming!" With such a sound, there was a bang on Esther's door, and the dust on the roof was shaken off a lot.
Esther's face darkened, and her mind moved, and the door opened, and four people entered.
It's not Karp who else is taking the lead, the other three, Bogart he knows, needless to say.
The last two surprised Esther.
A man wearing a robe, wearing a hat similar to that of an ancient strategist in a previous life, and a man with a goose feather fan in his hand.
The other is tall and slender, although he is quite old, he can still see that when he was young, he was a first-class beauty.
"Come, come, let me introduce you, this is Kong Ming, my chief of staff, with the rank of vice admiral.
This is Tsuru, my good friend, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Chief of the General Staff of the Naval Staff. ”
Karp finished speaking and sat down at the dining table with a big grin, "Hurry up, it's noon, the guests have arrived at the door, aren't you going to entertain you?" ”
Esther looked at the sky outside and was a little helpless, "Old man, you are here with a pinch!" ”
Even though he said this, he was not idle in his hands, and the ingredients turned into dishes that made people want to stop smelling in his hands.
Ten dishes and one soup, this is the lunch prepared by Esther.
With Karp, the king of big stomachs, it is impossible to prepare enough, and no amount of food is enough for him to eat.
Of course, Karp didn't want to eat enough, he was just hungry for Esther's food.
After the meal, Esther prepared some after-dinner refreshments, and everyone sat here chatting.
"A good boy!" Tsuru took a sip of tea, went to remove the greasy in his mouth, and said
This sentence made Esther dazed and looked at Karp.
"Haha, I'll just say, Esther is a good boy!" Kapuha laughed, "Let's have a meeting today, it's about your arrangement, and the crane will come to see you after the meeting!" ”
Esther suddenly realized that this was an investigation of himself.
Esther's heart is relatively plain, today's navy is not a future generation, anyone can join.
There is a strict review process.
Does Karp know?
He knew that it was just Karp who had always believed in his instincts, otherwise according to the rules and regulations of the Navy, he would not have been able to become friends with Roger.
Karp trusts himself, and it does not mean that others believe in him.
As far as the navy is concerned, he is an unidentified person, and he has not weak strength, and he is still a threat to the navy.
It is estimated that Karp vouched for himself, otherwise he would not be chatting with them now, but going to prison.
As for the crane, it was a surprise for Esther that she got it.
But thinking of the identity of the other party, I also have some understanding.
Chief of the General Staff of the General Staff.
Although she is only a lieutenant general, her status is not weaker than that of a general.
Moreover, it is normal for Tsuru to think about the Navy and come to find out his own bottom.
It's just that Esther doesn't understand, how did he inexplicably get the approval of Lieutenant General Crane?
But that's a good thing!
Vice Admiral Tsuru recognizes himself, so there will be no one in the navy who will talk about his identity.
Tsuru watched Esther become more and more satisfied, and his eyes became gentle.
How a person is can be seen from the subtle habits of the other person.
From entering the door to eating, Esther treats them with great friendliness, even when cooking, he will never forget to pour tea and water for them, and his clear eyes are always gentle and respectful.
The eyes are the windows of the soul, and a person's demeanor and personality will not change no matter how they pretend to be.
Tsuru is good at observing people, but even after so many years, it is the first time she has seen a child with such clear and clean eyes.
Even some newborn babies may not be as clear and clean as him.
Unbeknownst to Esther, Tsuru has decided to train Esther well and make him the pillar of the Navy.
"Yo hehe~, Esther's food is really delicious! It's a great day."
Kong Ming said with a smile, and the fan that did not leave his hand fanned gently.
If it weren't for the symbol of the navy on his body, he really had a bit of the image of the ancient strategist "Lupine Scarf" in his previous life.
Kong Ming's strength is very strong, at least with Esther's current strength it can't be compared at all, and it is estimated that it needs to be "fit" before it can be compared.
In other words, this vice admiral, who has never shown his face in the "True Story", is at least the strength of the peak of the S-rank, and has even reached the strength of the quasi-saint "Brigadier General".
"You're welcome!" Estro said gently.
"By the way, Esther, early tomorrow morning, Bogart will take you to the boot camp for training, which will take about a year and a half!"
Karp said suddenly.
"The training of the recruit camp is for three years, that is, the recruits in this period have been trained for half of the time, and you belong to the transfer students.
There are a lot of talented students in the boot camp, and there are several capable ones, you can do it yourself, don't weaken my name"
