Chapter 239
Steel warships galloped on the sea one after another, rushing back from the field and moored at the port of the Navy's headquarters, Marineland, attracting the attention of many naval soldiers.
Lieutenant General Bastiu.
Lieutenant General Dalmecia.
Lieutenant General Stirres.
Lieutenant General Gumir.
Lieutenant General Momotu Gion.
Lieutenant General Smoker.
Lieutenant General Maynard.
The tea dolphin is a lieutenant general.
Lieutenant General x·Drake.
Lieutenant General Tina.
Lieutenant General Dadi Masdarson.
Lieutenant General Jonathan.
Lieutenant General Xiu Zuo.
All kinds of lieutenant generals and generals appeared on stage, facing the admiring gazes of all the navy soldiers, and walked towards the marshal's office in the naval headquarters building, causing many people to exclaim along the way.
"Look, that's Lieutenant General Our business is spread all over the world and the great sea route, and our daily turnover alone exceeds hundreds of millions of berriles, which can be said to be as rich as any country!"
"That's Lieutenant General Xiu Zuo. Oh my god, he was only a major general some time ago. Unexpectedly, he was promoted to lieutenant general in just a few months. It's really enviable."
"I'm really envious. Now the Governor-General's Army led by Marshal Shura has occupied various important positions, and as long as he is a direct subordinate of Marshal Shura, his rank and position are promoted very quickly. If I had known that I would have joined the Governor-General's Army back then. "
"You don't have to be so envious. The people of the Governor's Army all had great achievements in fighting from the mountains of corpses and seas of bones. Let's just say that when they were under heavy pressure in the West Sea, they were annihilating mafia, bandits and pirates everywhere. , I don’t know how many nobles opposed it, and even invited the World Government and the Five Old Stars to put pressure. If one of them was not good, they might have been wiped out long ago."
"It is indeed true, and the Marshal does not treat other people differently. Nowadays, various levels of tasks are issued in the mission hall, and there are corresponding rewards. The capable ones will be promoted, and the mediocre ones will be demoted. As long as you think you have the ability, you can do it. Keep fighting, there are always opportunities, it just depends on whether you dare to go for it."
While everyone was talking, a group of lieutenant generals and generals entered Marshal Shura's office one after another.
Yang Ming's office is not the original office of the Warring States Marshal. Yang Ming has never been as thrifty as the Warring States Marshal. He believes that as long as conditions permit, it is not a problem to make his life and work more comfortable and a little more luxurious.
Because of this, Yang Ming's office looks particularly open. The floor is paved with expensive carpets, crystal lamps carved with petals hang from the ceiling, and expensive and soft sofas are arranged in a circle, surrounding a seat in the center.
People in high positions have historically had smoking straws to use nicotine to relieve the pain caused by stress.
Yang Ming did not smoke cigarettes or cigars like his predecessors did. Instead, he ordered his personal secretary Khalifa to brew a pot of hot black tea for everyone. The tea was rich and fragrant, and the taste was pure cotton. Most importantly, the black tea was Tea polyphenols are a great reminder. Just one sip can make you feel energetic.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Yang Ming crossed his legs and looked around.
The three generals arrived together. Green Niu Huangmu served as the general's back-up and is now also a member of the lieutenant general. After joining the navy, he frantically took on tasks in the mission hall and hunted a group of big pirates with high bounties on their heads. Military ranks and positions soared like a rocket.
This situation was simply unimaginable during the Warring States Marshal period.
Although the Warring States Marshal was fair, he was also rigid.
If it were during the Warring States Marshal Period, no matter how powerful Green Bull Wild Mu was, he would have to start as a trainee navy, just like Yang Ming did back then, accumulating merits and achievements step by step, and more importantly, accumulating contacts and qualifications, in order to be able to succeed naturally He was promoted to a powerful military rank such as Vice Admiral of the Navy, so that he could block the crowd and not worry about becoming the target of public criticism.
Chapter 363 Meeting
If it were during the Warring States Marshal Period, no matter how powerful Green Bull Wild Mu was, he would have to start as a trainee navy, just like Yang Ming did back then, accumulating merits and achievements step by step, and more importantly, accumulating contacts and qualifications, in order to be able to succeed naturally He was promoted to a powerful military rank such as Vice Admiral of the Navy, so that he could block the crowd and not worry about becoming the target of public criticism.
Reaching the throne of marshal has always been Yang Ming's goal, because it is closely related to one of his big plans.
In view of his goals and personality, Yang Ming naturally chose to demote talents in an eclectic way.
Of course, in a large institution like the Navy, which has been established for hundreds of years, any innovation will encounter many obstacles, including ideological obstacles and conflicts of interest.
If Yang Ming had originally recruited Green Bull Aramu and granted him the position of admiral, not to mention Akainu Sakaski and Aoji Admiral Kuzan would have objected, I am afraid that even Admiral Fujitora Yixiao, one of his own, would have objected. Some opinions.
This does not mean that General Fujitora laughed and laughed.
It's an organization. If you want to run a healthy organization, you can't just rely on strong people, let alone make decisions on the fly. Instead, you need a stable and robust system to ensure the normal operation of the organizational structure.
Everyone has only seen in the original book that after the war, Marshal Akainu Sakaski chose to recruit soldiers from around the world. It seemed that many strong men were recruited at once, and his approach was extremely domineering.
But even General Fujitora didn't listen to Marshal Akainu Sakaski's orders without a smile, let alone the other navy soldiers?
The original system of the Navy, even the top experts have to start from the grassroots level, which many people cannot understand.
Strong men enter the navy, and in the process of working at the grassroots level, the navy's imprint is gradually laid on them, and they develop organization and discipline through daily training.
The most important thing is to instill the concept of justice in the navy and let these people understand who they are fighting for.
They are not fighting for themselves, nor are they fighting for the world government and nobles, nor are they fighting for the navy, but they are fighting for justice!
The word justice seems big and empty, and even many grassroots naval officers and soldiers sneer at it. Most of them join the army just for a meal, but for those who are strong, or the recruits who have the qualifications and potential to become strong, it is An extremely important point.
No matter how strong a person is, if he has an empty head, he is nothing more than a humanoid weapon. .
Only those who are armed with thoughts and have faith can be called strong.
It can be said that Yang Ming is also a beneficiary of this naval system. Along the way, he naturally knows the superiority of this system better than anyone else.
Because of this, Yang Ming did not abolish this selection mechanism. Instead, he found a new approach and opened up a mission hall to stimulate the fighting spirit of the middle and lower-level navy officers and soldiers through more simple and direct rewards.
Yang Ming even ordered people to spread the word that in the future, the restriction of three generals of the navy would no longer be limited, and a system of four generals of the navy might be developed!
This also means that those lieutenant generals who have the ability to become generals also have the opportunity to get ahead.
This plan is currently just a verbal check issued by Yang Ming. If it is really to be implemented, it will not be implemented until he completely replaces Akainu General Sakaski and Aoji General Kuzan, and replaces them all with his own people. Really implement it, otherwise you will just be making wedding clothes for others in vain.
Yang Ming looked around and saw that everyone was a little nervous and serious, so he chuckled:
"Everyone, please stop keeping a straight face and be happy."
"Kalifa, come and serve appetizing donuts to everyone."
Personal secretary Khalifa nodded in agreement, and immediately took out packages of unopened donuts from the desk drawer and handed them to everyone present.
When receiving the donuts, Aokiji General Kuzan was a bit dumbfounded. He always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar. In the past, when the Warring States Marshals held meetings, Garp would always take out the donuts and eat them arrogantly. Eat, but he was so greedy, but he didn't dare to eat snacks in front of the Warring States Marshal, so he had to go to the navy canteen for a big meal after every meeting.
"Should we say that this is better than the old?"
After taking one bite of the donut, Kuzan, the Blue Pheasant General, was still in a random mood.
After the Warring States Marshal was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Garp, Chief Instructor Zefa, and Lieutenant General He all retired from the second line and are now vacationing on an island opened not far from the Navy Headquarters, Marineland. They are obviously relieved. Put the navy into Yang Ming's hands and believe that he can lead the navy to a new world.
As if to avenge the regrets in the past meeting, Kuzan, the Aoki Pheasant general, ate up all the donuts in his hands. As if it was not ordinary enough, he also ate all the crumbs on his fingertips. After sucking it clean, he lowered his head and took a sip of the rich and fragrant black tea, and couldn't help but burp.
Great!
This is life!
Seeing his colleagues looking at him in surprise because he burped, General Kuzan did not inherit Garp's shamelessness, and his face became slightly hot. He quickly opened his mouth to divert the public's attention and said:
"Marshal, you specially recruited us from all over the country today. You can't just invite us to a tea party, right?"
"clever!"
Yang Ming smiled slightly, facing the searching eyes, and said:
"Everyone should also know that during this period of time, the Bigo Pirates have been in frequent contact with the Whitebeard Pirates, and there is a strong tendency to form an alliance. Once these two Yonko form an alliance, our navy will face a great challenge. The pressure will even affect our plan to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace."
"For this reason, I am determined to send troops to all nations before the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, and destroy the Bigo Pirates with the power of thunder, so as to frighten the world, and to publicize the determination of our navy to the world. No one can stop it. We enforce justice, and our navy is capable of bringing peace and a future to the people!"
Hearing this, many generals' eyes flashed and their hearts boiled with excitement.
Although Yang Ming, as the youngest marshal in the history of the navy, has adopted many radical strategies since taking office, many conservative generals were dissatisfied, believing that Yang Ming's radical methods would lead to a large number of casualties in the navy.
But it has to be said that Yang Ming's extremely domineering way, trying to wipe out the Bigo Pirates in one go, and his movements and gestures full of confidence and contempt for the enemy, indeed has a strong personality charm and attraction, even if The conservative naval general was a little dissatisfied, and at this moment he couldn't help but be impressed by Yang Ming's style.
Chapter 364: Combine vertically and horizontally
But it has to be said that Yang Ming's extremely domineering way, trying to wipe out the BIGO Pirates in one breath, and his movements and gestures full of confidence and contempt for the enemy, indeed has a strong personality charm and attraction, even if The conservative naval general was a little dissatisfied, and at this moment he couldn't help but be impressed by Yang Ming's style.
Every general who can become a lieutenant general, in the eyes of ordinary people, their experiences can compose a novel with twists and turns. They started from being trainees in the navy and reached where they are today step by step. Every one of them Everyone has his own justice in his heart.
Regardless of whether their justice is absolute justice, lazy justice, or ambiguous justice, they all have one thing in common, that is, they have enough reasons and motivation to target pirates, especially the Yonko. Eliminate these people to implement your own justice.
Having said that, everyone here is not a fool.
Now, they are intensively planning to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace. All aspects must be taken care of, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources. At this juncture, Yang Ming suddenly announced that he would start a war with the BIGO Pirates first, even if The naval family has a great cause, but I am afraid that it is beyond their capabilities.
Even Sakaski, the always bellicose Akainu general, after pondering for a moment, couldn't help but try to dissuade him:
"marshal……"
Facing the young man in front of him who was much younger than himself, he actually called him Marshal. General Akainu Sakaski felt a little strange and awkward, and even a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Akainu General Sakaski has always had facial paralysis, and it is difficult for others to detect his embarrassment at the moment from his facial expressions. They only heard him say in a calm tone:
"Conservatively estimated, the BIGO Pirates have a strength of 200,000, distributed on dozens of islands in all countries. If we want to completely annihilate the BIGO Pirates, we must not let any fish slip through the net. According to the perspective of siege with ten times the force, It requires at least two million troops, and even if these troops are converted into strong men, there must be at least ten general-level combat forces to be foolproof."
"But right now, in our navy, even if we can barely gather strong men and troops, and mobilize huge troops and materials, we can't hide it from those who are willing to do it. I'm afraid that before we can attack the nations, the BIGO Pirates will first contact those forces that are married to them. and the strong, form an ally to stop us.”
"Even if we are more pessimistic, the Whitebeard Pirates are worried that they will die. Being so stimulated by our navy, they will form an extremely terrifying combination of combat power with the BIGO Pirates in advance, and our chances of winning will be Infinitely lower.”
Akainu General Sakaski expressed the concerns of many generals present. Even Yang Ming's direct subordinates, such as Smoker and others, also spoke out to persuade:
"Marshal, please think twice!"
Yang Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the table, raised his eyes slightly, looked at his own adviser, Lieutenant General Jonathan, and said:
"Jonathan, tell me, what do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes in unison.
Since the Warring States Marshal was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Garp, Lieutenant General He, and Chief Instructor Zefa have all gone to retire. Jonathan took over Lieutenant General He's position and became Marshal Shura's first think tank.
During his time in the G5 Navy branch, Jonathan used his resourcefulness to eliminate a large number of pirates in nearby waters, accumulating a large number of achievements and meritorious deeds.
Because of this, everyone is also curious about what unique insights Jonathan has.
Facing the probing eyes of everyone, Jonathan stood up calmly and said calmly: "Kan Shu La"
"The BIGO Pirates have been getting married for decades and have formed marriage relationships with many powerful people. They have already formed an intricate relationship in the new world. However, the full moon is full of profits and losses. Just because the power of the BIGO Pirates is at its peak, it also leads to Aunt Charlotte Lingling and her children have become more arrogant and domineering in recent years. Anyone who fails to turn in desserts on time will have their island and kingdom razed to the ground by the BIGO Pirates."
"The more arrogant and domineering the BIGO Pirates are, the more people and forces they secretly offend. However, due to the top-notch combat power of Aunt Charlotte Lingling, most of the people who are bullied will choose to endure it, but that does not mean that They will forget the hatred and humiliation, but as time goes by, the hatred and humiliation will gradually settle and become more deeply rooted."
"For example, the Vinsmoke family in the North Sea, and the fur tribe, etc."
"The marshal's battle prowess is unparalleled, and everyone in the world knows it."
"If the Marshal invites these people and forces who have been bullied by the BIGO Pirates and tells them bluntly that the Marshal intends to launch an army to attack the BIGO Pirates, these people will definitely respond to the Marshal's call."
"There will be countless followers by then. If we continue to use newspapers and periodicals to fan the flames and create the illusion that the power of the BIGO Pirates is like a candle in the wind, it will inevitably arouse many pirates who want to become famous in a battle, as well as those who want to hunt and kill them. Pirates get the attention of bounty hunters with high bounty rewards. Although these people's combat prowess is not worth mentioning, they can build momentum for us and involve a large number of middle and lower-level soldiers in the BIGO Pirates."
"As long as we can go straight to Huanglong and capture the aunt Charlotte Lingling, the leader of the BIGO Pirates, and her children and husband, the others will be defeated and scattered, and they will not be worth mentioning at all."
Lieutenant General Jonathan said that the powerful BIGO Pirates seemed to be powerful, but in fact they were already walking towards the edge of the cliff step by step. They had already reached the point where everyone was shouting and beating them, and they only needed someone to push them hard from behind. , they will fall into the endless abyss.
After hearing such analysis, not only Yang Ming secretly nodded in his heart, but also others felt admiration.
A reckless man who only knows how to use force looks brave as he fights and kills on the battlefield.
But these wise men who use their brains are the ones who are at the top of the temple, and they can decide the life, death and fate of others with just a few words!
Fortunately, such people are not enemies, but on the side of their navy, otherwise they would not even know how they died.
Yang Ming nodded repeatedly, looked at Jonathan with a smile, and said:
"The BIGO Pirates have controlled many powerful people and forces through marriage. Then our navy has used fame and fortune to control many individuals and forces that were oppressed by the BIGO Pirates. This task will be left to you to handle. You have confidence. Did you complete the task perfectly?"
Chapter 365 Mobilization
Yang Ming nodded repeatedly, looked at Jonathan with a smile, and said:
"The Bigo Pirates have controlled many powerful people and forces through marriage. Then our navy has used fame and fortune to control many individuals and forces that were oppressed by the Bigo Pirates. This task will be left to you to handle. You have confidence. Did you complete the task perfectly?"
Hearing this, this middle-aged man wearing a white navy hat and a thick beard on his upper lip, like a young man in full bloom, stood on his feet, saluted Yang Ming, issued a military order to himself, and said:
"Please rest assured, Marshal, I will definitely use my sharp tongue, my emotions and my reasoning to contact the powerful people and forces from all sides, and tie them to our warship!"
Jonathan is also an old acquaintance of Yang Ming. This man who has always been known for his resourcefulness has the ability to change the situation of the battle. Naturally, Yang Ming is very relieved to let him do it boldly.
However, just in case, to prevent Jonathan from being secretly killed on the way, Yang Ming dispatched Green Bull Huang Mu, who had been promoted to lieutenant general, to Jonathan, and ordered the two of them to set off together, and by the way, Green Bull Aramaki accumulated meritorious achievements to pave the way for his future power grab and promotion to admiral.
Dealing with any of the four emperors is not an easy task.
In particular, the Bigo Pirates are different from the Beasts Pirates. At that time, the Beasts Pirates were in the secluded country of Wano. The outside world knew nothing about what happened in Wano, so Yang Ming could find a loophole. Destroy the Beast Pirates without alerting others.
