【Naval Base】

"I almost forgot their age and identity, but seventeen, eighteen...... Although it sounds a little younger, it actually feels okay. ”

Sengoku touched his funny twisted beard, thought about it for a long time, and a hint of interest flashed on his face, "I remember that this seems to be the time when the various naval recruit battalions stop recruiting new recruits, right?" ”

"That's right, in fact, the training of recruits has been going on for more than a month." Tsuru nodded, "The navy recruits recruited this time are all a group of relatively young children, probably seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

"Hmm......" Sengoku pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any recruits who perform better?" ”

"If you mean something like combat level and physical fitness...... The people below have mentioned to me that there are a group of children who are doing very well. ”

Tsuru touched the tea, and after feeling the temperature cool, he set up a small stove and began to boil the water again.

"So after two months, the navy will hold a selection and then send the top five recruits to the Navy headquarters."

"I know this, it seems that this year is similar to the previous arrangement."

Sengoku rummaged through his cupboard, and while Karp's bastard who always stole his senbei was away, he planned to drink some good tea with Tsuru today that he was usually reluctant to drink.

"But then again, who's in charge of recruiting this year?"

"It's Karp." "But I have some ideas that I want to get involved in at the moment." ”

"Ah, that's right...... This really doesn't look like your style. Sengoku asked, puzzled, "Is there any reason?" ”

"That's probably because of the excellence of this kid Himeha." "Although I had this hunch before, in fact, I felt that her talent and potential in strategic deployment may be even better than I expected." ”

"Oh? How so? "Sengoku is interested," is it because of the point-to-the-point opinions she made on the screen about the deployment of the barracks? ”

"Yes, but not exactly." Tsuru was silent for a while, "In fact, in my opinion, the questions she raised about the deployment of the barracks are very basic, so basic that all navies will basically learn relevant knowledge in the next concept training class after they have undergone recruit training." ”

Sengoku asked, "Then ...... that case?"

"But you also know the atmosphere of the Navy over the years, compared with these basic concepts and knowledge, many soldiers are more inclined to the personal strength of actual combat exercises, so even if it is a very basic theory, few people will really learn it."

Tsuru took a breath and said calmly: "Although the strength of a soldier in terms of personal strength is not a good thing for the navy. But compared to this personal strength, sometimes a good strategic deployment can also play a very important role. ”

Especially in naval fortifications, and in cities where naval garrisons are stationed.

The former can well guard those fortress bases, so as to ensure the important supply points of the navy at sea and improve the efficiency of transportation on the probability.

The latter, on the other hand, can suppress the pirates and other evil forces in more aspects, so that they can stay away from the town and cannot be fully supplied, and at the same time, it can also more comprehensively protect the safety of the people in the town and prevent them from being harmed by the pirates.

"But it's hard to change that in a short period of time."

The marshal of the Warring States Navy, it's not that he can't analyze these things, it's just that the various messy instructions of the world government in peacetime, and the matter of pirates have already given him a lot of headaches, so he doesn't pay much attention to these aspects.

It's just that now, because of the relationship between the screens, the world government has been studying how to turn off the screens and control public opinion all day long, and almost all departments are working overtime day and night, and there is a great tendency to develop into zero and seven.

Even their leader, the Five Old Stars, has been closing the door all day long, not knowing what they are discussing, anyway, except for the days when the screen started to play, the Warring States were called more diligently, and the Warring States have not been asking for the Warring States to pass for several weeks.

And the Warring States, as the marshal of the navy, also ended up clean, and finally could concentrate on suppressing the pirates in the first half of the great route, while also paying attention to some problems in the navy.

"Do you need my help, Crane?"

Seeing that the hot water was about to boil, Sengoku handed over the tea leaves he had turned out.

"It just so happens that the rectification of the navy has just ended, and although the cadres in the four seas are a little beyond the reach of the whip because of the distance, the bad tendencies stationed on the great shipping route can almost come to an end." Sengoku briefly explained his current situation, "Actually, I am currently short of manpower here because of the previous operation, and many vacant positions are in urgent need of talents. ”

"That's just right, we can take this opportunity to inject a group of energetic fresh blood into the navy."

Since the pirates have been suppressed by the Warring States, this time period is a little sluggish, and the world government can't spare its hands because of the things on the other side of the screen.

Crane realized almost immediately that it was a good time for the Navy to grow.

"I'm going to arrange an act to test the depth of the recruits when they arrive. Then, based on the talents they have shown, simply chart the direction in which they are suited to develop. ”

Tsuru took the tea handed by Sengoku, "It's just that about acting, I don't plan to let those soldiers be put on an isolated island this time, so that they can compete internally." ”

"Oh?" Sengoku asked, "Do you have a new idea?" ”

"Well, I'm going to strengthen the unity within them." Tsuru nodded, "Just like Ji Ye and Li Guanqi's unanimous external style on the screen, I hope this wave of recruits will be able to unite a little even if the boot camp ends." ”

At least it's not like the current style of advocating personal strength in the naval base, where they are all colleagues of each other, but they have stubbornly created a magical style of painting that separates them.

Obviously they are all adults, but they are not as good as the two children on the screen in this regard.

Although everyone has their own personalities, they are all of the same heart no matter what!

Usually noisy and noisy, but when it is critical, act quickly and have a clear goal, even if there are occasional internal disagreements, they can always be consistent with the outside world......

I don't know what's going on with those three bastards, obviously they had a good relationship when they were in the new barracks, but after they became colleagues, they didn't look up and look down, and they got along with each other day and night, how could they get along with this virtue now.

At that time, Sengoku and Karp were always fighting because of disagreements.

There was a small quarrel for two days, a big quarrel for five days, and even she herself fought with those two bastards for similar reasons.

But after so many years of fighting, the three of them haven't been like those three bastards, and the atmosphere between them has been so awkward and delicate.

Even the relationship between the two individuals, even the vice admirals and the rear admirals is similar......

Only a very small number of navies are the kind of little angels who love their soldiers and are willing to help each other with their colleagues, but they are still too small compared to the entire base of the navy to play a leading role at all.

Alas, if only the two little guys Ji Ye and Li Guanqi could join the navy.

After all, there are not many people who can be so friendly to friendly allies (Ute) in these years, and even after the friendly army is backstabbed, there are not many people who can firmly develop with them regardless of their previous suspicions (referring to the change from cooperative relations to use relationships).

At least in terms of volume, it can definitely crush most of its peers.

Even if you don't have this world, you can join the navy in that world.

After all, the communication power of the screen is hard enough, so even if there is no way to reverse the maverick painting style within the navy in one fell swoop, it can play a more or less leading role.

Thinking of this, Tsuru couldn't help but sigh as a way to express her tiredness as an old man who was about to retire.

【Baroque Workshop】

In the office, Klockdahl, who rarely has a spare time, is staring at the content on the screen to pass the time.

Is pretending to be a ghost scary...... It's really a trick that only imps can do.

However, if it is used as a flavoring agent when you are bored, it is barely fun.

He grinned and looked with interest at the stupid appearance of the soldiers on the screen who were frightened by Li Guanqi, thinking that if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Alabastan were as stupid as them, it would really save him a lot of trouble.

After all, unlike those fools on the screen, the soldiers of the countries of Alabastan are under the jurisdiction of their king, Neferutari Kobra, and the quality of both the border defense and the army is very good.

In addition, the lieutenant of the Kingdom of Alabastan, Peru, as a rare Devil Fruit ability with the ability to fly, is also very tricky.

Although in terms of strength, for Klockdahl, who is one of the Seven Martial Seas, he doesn't take Peyrou's combat ability into account at all.

However, because of its flight ability and high-altitude vision, it has a strong reconnaissance ability, which has caused a lot of trouble to Klockdahl, who does not intend to expose himself.

At least before his plan was still being laid out, and before it was officially launched, Peruna's ability to fly the bird fruit had hindered some of his actions near the palace in a big way.

In that case, there had to be a way to divert him elsewhere, as well as his colleague Gaca, preferably along.

Klockdahl pondered, albeit with his strength. It's not that these two people can't be easily solved, but that doesn't fit his personal style.

And on the other hand, before that, he had used dancing powder near the palace by having his subordinates disguise themselves as members of the king's army, and skillfully and deliberately exposed it to a small number of citizens.

Now that Alabastan is relatively far from the surrounding area near the palace, there are already people who have begun to form a rebel army, intending to attack the palace when they have enough men and weapons and ammunition.

Plenty of weapons and ammunition...... Well, yes, after all, these people are just ordinary civilians, different from Li Guanqi's cunning stinky little ghost who wants to bite twice when he sees meat.

Civilians here do not have the ability and opportunity to acquire or manufacture large quantities of guns and ammunition in a short period of time.

Even the leader of the rebel army, Kosha, is still a somewhat interesting leader, but they have a big gap in the exchange and transmission of information.

Especially given the country's desert location, telephone bugs are not widespread in the country, so many exchanges have a delay of at least two to three days.

Tsk, he secretly suppressed the king's army like this, and as a result, the combat power of the two sides was still so seriously unequal......

Still, huh...... Never mind.

As if thinking of something, Klockdahl stared at Li Guanqi on the screen and thought for a while, and after smashing his mouth, he grinned again.

In that case, then he should be a good person again......

Thinking so, Klockdahl took out a small phone bug with sunglasses and a pink feather cape from the drawer at the bottom of the table, paused, and after thinking for a while, he reached for the telephone that was placed on it.

"Porphyrhoeae...... Porphyrium porphyr...... Porphyrium ...... Click. ”

"Fur-fur...... Long time no see, crocodile bastard. ”

At the moment when the signal was connected, the strangely dressed phone bug suddenly changed his previous honest and well-behaved painting style, the corners of his mouth were grinning widely, his teeth were exposed, and his smile was sinister and evil.

"It's surprising that you would take the initiative to call me...... Why, is there something. ”

"Ah, don't talk so much useless nonsense...... joke。 Klockdahl pursed his lips unpleasantly, "I'd like to get a batch of arms from you, ah, a little more." ”

"Woo Woo Woo, that's easy to say. Still, the crocodile bastard...... We're already in a cooperative relationship, but it's sad that you're really cold to me as always. ”

Although he said this, there was no loss in the tone of the phone bug, and not only that, but it sounded a little arrogant.

"Less sets are almost ......"

Crockdahl frowned, his face full of impatience, obviously not eating this, "Do you still do business...... You know, there are many arms dealers on the Great Route. ”

The implication is that if it weren't for the fact that you were selling the cheapest stuff, would you think he would be looking for you?

"Woo Woo T

The person on the other side of the phone bug was still arrogant, but also very interesting, at least before Klockdahl couldn't help but want to hang up the phone and change to another business, he retracted his feet on his bottom line and began to talk about business.

"Woo Woo Woo, don't be angry, crocodile bastard, anyway, do you want to send it to the old place?"

"Ah, yes......" Crockdahl's head jumped, "I have some additional requirements regarding the number of munitions and the types of guns......"

The strange intrigues that are happening outside the screen have never affected the difficulties inside the screen.

Especially after the current topic has gone beyond the outline to a field that Li Guanqi has never been involved in, let alone off-screen things, even things on the screen, Li Guanqi doesn't want to care about it anymore.

In the face of Ji Ye's questions and plans, she has begun to have more than enough to do.

So after racking his brains for a few seconds and not thinking about the scientific reason, Li Guanqi faced the difficulties in front of him, and only thought about how to put it in a reasonable position tonight, and then passively slackened everything except for "putting on a sack".

After all, the work of using her brain is too tiring, and if her strength allows, she just wants to be a reckless man with developed limbs, not a haggard strategist.

What's more, tonight is still a rare [Entertainment Bureau], since she can relax without brains, why does she have to think of taking the initiative to work overtime?

"Anyway, let's make a big fuss first and see how it reacts."

Li Guanqi stretched out a finger and clasped his head and proposed, "At least before making a plan, I think we must know whether these people are teachable children or rotten wood that cannot be carved." ”

As the saying goes, teach students according to their aptitude, and only when they have materials can they be taught.

"Then try it first."

Ji Ye is sure that she can't think of a better solution at the moment anyway, so let's take one step at a time and adapt to the situation.

"After all, the Ute man only looks bad in his heart, not in his brain."

"Listen to you." Li Guanqi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said with obvious enthusiasm, "Maybe you can really rescue it again." ”
