Navy Headquarters, Intelligence Management Department.

The operator looked pale at the paper slowly spit out on the fax machine behind the phone bug, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

It was a picture and a blood book, and it hadn't been completely typed yet, but the information mentioned in it had already made him feel as if he was in the ice and snow, freezing and biting!

"Quick, hurry up and get Lieutenant General John!!" He slammed his slam on the table and stood up, shouting in a lost voice.

Five minutes later, John Jaindo, a tall lieutenant general from the Giants, arrived at the door, and the operator hurriedly pushed the door open and ran out, delivering the picture from the fax machine to him.

John Jaindo spread out his palm, looked at the small piece of paper in his palm, and looked closely to see the blood words on it.

Gradually, a cold face became more and more gloomy.

It's as if a depressed volcano is about to erupt!

He clenched his fists, and the angry voice came out like thunder:

"How could this happen!!"

The surrounding windows trembled violently!

The operator next to him was so shocked by the sound that he almost sat on the ground, but he still asked anxiously:

"Lieutenant General John, do you want to convene a meeting of the lieutenant generals who are still in the headquarters?"

According to the old custom, if any serious threat pirates appeared, they would summon the temporarily idle lieutenant of the headquarters to discuss the reward and disposal plan.

However, John Jaindo vetoed this meeting, which was already considered a very high level for pirates.

"No, this bad situation is no longer something that can be solved by a meeting of the lieutenant general!"

His pupils were filled with anger, and he spread his hand again, looked at the crumpled information in his palm, and gritted his teeth:

"Marshal Sengoku-sama must be made aware of this!"

Fifteen minutes later, the blood-colored information from the 16th branch of the East China Sea was sent to the table of the Admiral Sengoku.

The man with an explosive head on his head, wearing frog glasses, and a gentle temperament slowly swept through the information in the intelligence and smashed the teacup on the spot!

"What do you mean that the 16 branches of the East China Sea have been destroyed? The left-behind people were wiped out? The beard with a braided chin jumped in his angry voice.

This kind of thing happened except in the early days of the Navy's initial creation, when its strength was far from enough.

After that, even if you face those terrifying sea pirates, unless the other party is rushing to destroy the base, this situation will rarely happen!

The face of the Warring States Period, which was no longer young, was bruised and tense, and it looked like a Buddha with angry eyes from a distance.

Soon, at the urgent call of the marshal, all the lieutenant generals and generals who remained in Marin Vando and were temporarily idle were gathered.

As the only general present, the pheasant was not as lazy as usual, and looked at the information in his hand seriously, and gradually frowned.

The atmosphere in the conference room was depressing.

The faces of the vice admirals were ugly.

There were a few who didn't care, but they didn't go too far under the low pressure of the whole game.

"You've seen what we're doing!" Marshal Warring States said in a low voice, and his face was completely gloomy.

"Tell me what you think!"

"This thief must be killed!" Giant Lieutenant General John Jaindo couldn't wait, he clenched his fists:

"If this sprout of evil is not eradicated now, it will definitely bring even greater disasters in the future!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, John!"

Keisha's voice came from the side, he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and there was a vertical scar on his left eye, and he said unhurriedly: "Whether it is arrest or killing, it is definitely done, but the most important thing now is how to cover up this matter." ”

He looked at the information in his hand, and he couldn't imagine the terrible scene after this matter spread.

"This kind of thing is not a good object to learn for those restless little pirates!" He said worriedly.

"Cover-up? Arresting him, publicly executing him, and broadcasting live all over the world is the best cover-up! ”

Sitting diagonally across from Kesha, Dauberman with a gloomy face said coldly.

Keisha didn't talk much, and within the Navy, Dauberman was privately called "Fighting Dog" and was not a good character to get along with.

Soon the lieutenant generals quarreled over how to deal with this mess, and they could vaguely divide into several factions - the radicals who advocated thunderous methods and sent a few lieutenant generals to encircle and suppress Mo Jing, the changemakers who advocated not making a big move, covering up the news first, and secretly sending people to deal with Mo Jing, and the salted fish faction that crushed him when he arrived in my jurisdiction.

In the end, it was Sengoku who knocked on the table and stopped everyone's meaningless argument.

He turned his gaze to the pheasant on the side: "Kuzan, you are also here for a meeting, don't be silent!" ”

Codenamed "Green Pheasant", formerly known as Admiral Kuzan, he sighed, and then said in a lazy voice: "Whether to cover up the news or not, it's not for us to decide......

There was something in his words, but no one refuted it, and even the lieutenant general on the radical side had to clench his fists at this time to accept this fact.

"There's only one thing we can decide."

He bowed down and looked down at the information in his hand:

"Who to send to arrest?"

The lieutenant generals looked at each other, and although they all seemed to have free time now, in fact, everyone had a huge backlog of tasks.

If it weren't for the fact that Marin Fando had to keep a certain number of lieutenant generals and at least one general to stay behind at all times, they would have been busy with their own business.

Go to the East China Sea to encircle and suppress a pirate?

It's so time-consuming!

Even the radical lieutenant generals have to wonder if the more vicious ones in the Great Voyage will cause something more appalling during their absence!

"Speaking of which, you have the strength to break into the naval base, why do you still stay in a small place like the East China Sea?" Lieutenant General Stérez, who was dressed in a suit, couldn't help but complain.

The Upside-Down Mountain of the Great Voyage from the Four Seas is there, and the Navy and the World Government are not blind, so why haven't they destroyed this passage or sent heavy troops to guard it for so long?

In addition to trade and other reasons, there is another important reason, that is, the Great Sea Route is a more suitable place to deal with pirates efficiently than the vast four seas!

The sea is even smaller, the climate is terrifying and changeable, and there is a large number of elite navies.

Without any strength, you can't break through the first half of the road at all.

Even if you have made it through the first half of the road, the Navy Headquarters Marin Fando will open its doors to welcome you at the end of the road!

Very few pirates can reach the second half of the Great Voyage from this route each year.

Pirate Graveyard, is it meant to be fun?

Therefore, the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters is either stationed in the naval branch of the Great Voyage, or has been running around the Great Voyage for many years, chasing down those pirates who want to make some big news all the time!

From time to time, I take turns to go back to the headquarters to rest.

The great route is their main battlefield!

A guy with a bad nature like Mo Jing just poked at their soft underbelly - not so strong that he had to be dealt with by the vice admiral, and the distance was far away, and he was more than one level stronger than the navy of the East China Sea Branch!

This kind of strength gap is especially obvious in a weak place like the East China Sea, where the average bounty of pirates is only 300w.

Destroy a naval branch?

Although it is of a bad nature, everyone knows in their hearts that it is possible to find a pirate group with a bounty of sixty or seventy million from other seas!

Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have let the East China Sea go too long!

No, it's not that they deliberately let it go, it's that there's a character there who is too special......

"I heard that Lieutenant General Karp seems to have gone back to the East China Sea to pick up prisoners recently?" A voice hesitated.

The generals present all looked at them with a little wonder.

Sengoku even covered his forehead.

Even the corners of the pheasant's mouth rose slightly.

"Navy Hero" Karp, a powerful vice admiral who repeatedly refused to be promoted to admiral, is one of the spiritual pillars of naval justice.

It's just a prisoner from the East China Sea, where can a lieutenant general with his identity be used?

Even if the other party's identity is special and he is a colonel of the former naval branch, he is not worthy of a vice admiral to pick him up, and a brigadier general of the headquarters can complete this kind of task!

Everyone knew that this veteran with a special status was just looking for an excuse to go back to the East China Sea to have a look.

Everyone is used to this kind of thing.

No one can order this free and uninhibited veteran, he can go wherever he wants!

But I also have to admit that it is precisely because this veteran often goes home to see that the East China Sea has always been in a relatively peaceful and stable situation.

Now, it seems like it's time for this veteran to come out again?

"I heard...... Lieutenant General Karp seems to have been wounded by a prisoner while picking up and dropping off a prisoner? And let the prisoners run away? Another hesitant voice rang out.

The expressions of the lieutenant generals were more subtle.

Sengoku is about to cover his whole face!

Please, go and bring that disgraced guy back!

If there really is any vicious prisoner in the East China Sea, he can defeat this veteran who beat Roger and destroyed the Rocks Pirates, and has countless legends in his life.

Not to mention the general, even he, the marshal, has to rush over with a golden phone bug to encircle and suppress!

That guy did it on purpose!

In this way, he can use "injury" as an excuse to excuse those jobs that come from above and he is unwilling to do!

As a partner and friend for many years, he still doesn't know how this guy behaves?

But Sengoku still said in a deep voice: "Send a copy of the information." ”

It just happened to be in the East China Sea, this kind of thing, just like Karp, would not be ignored!

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure hurried in through the door.

"What's new!"

The Navy soldier in charge of the arraignment had a pride and surprise on his face:

"Lieutenant General Karp has already set off for the 16th Branch!"

Everyone in the room had a look of surprise on their faces.

Because of Karp's unique style of acting, he often won't be notified of things that are not too important in internal discussions, but I didn't expect that this time his actions were even faster than the discussions!

It can only be said that someone notified him in advance!

But what little genius was so prescient?

Everyone in the room looked at each other.

In the end, everyone's eyes focused on Marshal Sengoku, who was sitting in the center and was in danger!

For a moment, his eyes were full of admiration.

is worthy of being called a "wise general" Marshal of the Warring States, so far-sighted!

Sengoku, who was also thinking about it, was the little clever ghost who dared to overstep his authority to do this, and as soon as he raised his head, he was almost blinded by everyone's admiring gaze.

The pheasant also said with admiration: "Old man, everything is in your calculations!" ”

Sengoku: "......"

However, he quickly sorted out his facial expressions and said calmly:

"Now that Karp has received the news, this is the end of this meeting! Meeting! ”

"For justice!" All the lieutenant generals stood up and said in unison.

No one doubts that Karp will fail, as soon as the name is heard, everyone is relieved, this is the confidence that the hero of the Navy brings to everyone!

Sengoku got up and left the conference room first.

Whoever did it, he decided to take the credit, and although it was a bit despicable, it was a good opportunity to strengthen his majesty for the Navy, which was increasingly factional.

Walking on the road, Warring States couldn't help but sigh, looking at the groups of vice admirals downstairs, there was quite a feeling that the power was big, the people's hearts were scattered, and the team was not easy to lead.

I think back then, the navy was not as strong as it is now, and when he, Karp and Tsuru were still young, in the face of the pressure of pirates, where did everyone have so much thought?

But on second thought, maybe this also means that the world is becoming more and more peaceful, although everyone has paid a lot of money for this and made a lot of painful choices, but justice has been slowly implemented after all.

So!

Sengoku's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp!

People like Mo Jing who provoke the majesty of the navy and try to break the balance between the navy and pirates must not stay!

I believe that his old friend thinks so too!

He looked into the distance, as if he had traveled through infinite distances, and saw the kobold warship moving at high speed......

On the warship, Bogart, dressed in a gray suit and a navy cloak, stood quietly behind Karp, he looked at this rare serious boss, and then looked at the news he had just received from the Intelligence Management Department in his hand, and his left hand involuntarily clenched the scabbard on his waist.

Ten minutes ago, a call from a public phone booth on the black market connected directly to the phone bug he fed.

It was confirmed that it was an intelligence officer from the Navy Headquarters who was undercover in the black market in the East China Sea.

The other party dictated the information of a pirate named Mo Jing.

and begged Lieutenant General Karp to intervene to exterminate him.

Originally, according to Karp's habit, this kind of thing should have been refused.

After all, judging from the information given by the other party, this pirate did not do anything evil to endanger civilians, but his strength was a little stronger.

This kind of pirate will come out every few years, and most of them will eventually sink in the great shipping route.

But out of responsibility, he inquired about the situation with the Ministry of Intelligence Management.

As a result, I got this blood book.

There isn't much information above:

"Pirate Mojing...... 16 branches of the Navy were destroyed...... None of the people left behind survived...... The branch colonel has not returned ......"

Karp immediately decided to set sail upon hearing the news.

However, it had to be admitted that even if the warships were to move at full speed, it would take them nearly an hour to reach the town of Maus, where the 16th branch of the Navy was located.

Even if they arrived, they would have already run away!

But even so, Karp didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

Bogart looked at Karp, although Karp didn't say a word, he knew that his boss was already furious at this time!

It's just that he doesn't want to target the horror at his own people.

"Lieutenant Colonel ......"

He was just about to say something when he heard Karp say in a deep voice:

"It's too slow!"

Bogart was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "It's already the fastest speed!" ”

"It's still too slow!!" Karp said loudly, his eyes full of anger.

Bokat seemed to think of something, and said with a shocked face: "Lieutenant General, do you think about ......?"

Before he could finish speaking, Karp jumped off the bow of the boat, and with a technique similar to shaving, he rushed away on the sea!

Rao was as calm as Bokat couldn't help but hold down his hat, lying on the bow of the ship and shouting: "Vice Admiral Karp, the town of Maus is at least 10 nautical miles (nearly 20 kilometers) away!" ”

In the distance, Karp's bold voice blew with the sea breeze: "It doesn't sound too far!" ”

Bogart leaned on the guardrail and sighed: "It's still such a mess!" ”

This boss is good at everything, but he often does something scary.

He shook his head and headed for the captain's quarters.

From the beginning to the end, he never worried about Karp's safety.

In today's world, apart from the notorious Four Emperors, he really can't think of anyone else who can bring harm to this terrifying boss.

Even if you run 20 kilometers, a naval hero is still a naval hero!

Wherever the Iron Fist goes, justice is carried out!

……

At the same time, a warship that had sailed out of the 16th branch early slowly docked in the town of Maus.

The mouse sitting in the cabin looked at the information in his hand, and his face was distorted:

"The base is destroyed, don't return? Ink Thorn? ”

The brief intelligence provided only these three pieces of information.

It's the other way around!

"I've wanted to say for a long time, your base doesn't look very solid!" A low, teasing voice rang out from the darkness behind him.

In normal times, Colonel Rat would have been angry, but at this time, he said with a smile on his face: "It's really like this...... In short, this guy, please leave it to you! ”

A jagged proboscis slowly protrudes from the darkness:

"Don't worry, I'll take care of business matters, but you, when will you untie the handcuffs on my hands?"

The sound of chains scraping against each other came from the ground.

Colonel Rat turned his head and his gaze was cold: "Don't worry...... Be pretentious, soon, soon it's time to come! ”
