People are full of pirates

Chapter 380 The New Marshal
No one was surprised when the resolution came out.

after all.

Steel Gu Kong is over ninety years old and has worked as admiral of the navy for many years, with high morals and high prestige.

Even if there is no such thing, according to the normal process, at most four or five years, he will also take over the position of commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

but.

After Jakong became the commander-in-chief of the three armies, another promotion news should have been announced immediately, but unexpectedly, there was no news of it for a long time.

……

A small dinner gathering is being held at Nuo Xia's home.

"The marshal's successor hasn't been decided yet?"

Momotu cut the steak on the plate, distributed it to Nuo Xia next to him, and looked at the opposite crane in surprise, "It's been almost a week, right? Is there any need to hesitate about this kind of thing? What is the World Government doing? "

This is not only her idea, but also the common question of the entire navy and even the public opinion at the moment.

Who will take over the vacated position of Admiral of the Navy.

Do you still need to think about this question?

Looking at the entire naval system, only the "Three Generals" Sengoku, Karp, and Zefa of the older generation have this qualification.

As for the other two so-called generals, Zefa has already retired to the second line for many years, and only retained the position and treatment of generals, and Karp, needless to say, has refused to be promoted to generals for decades, let alone being a marshal. possible.

and so.

In the eyes of everyone, there is only one answer for the successor.

That is the general of the Warring States Period who is diligent and diligent every day, and one person does the work of three people.

With both strength and qualifications, and a rare resourceful talent, he should be the best choice for the next marshal.

"If only it were that simple."

He shook his head slightly, "One radish and one hole, on the surface this time, it seems that the Warring States took over as the marshal a few years in advance, it's not a big deal, but have you ever thought that if you move the whole body, the rest of the radishes have to follow suit? pit?"

As the chief of the general staff, He could always speak in a simple and common way, and everyone at the table understood in an instant.

Of course, except for Ace, who was grimacing and concentrating on fighting the vegetables on the plate, and sisters Noki Takanami.

Nuo Xia's eyes also flickered, thoughtful.

"The people above don't want our generation to be promoted to generals so early?"

He couldn't help smiling, "Interesting...but it's true that although the position of the current three generals is mostly vacant, Mr. Zhan Guo is still a general, and there are always reasons to prevaricate, and his promotion , the positions of the three generals have to be reshuffled, and they must all be filled."

"Yes, qualifications, military exploits... Actually, you, Akainu Aokiji, and Kizaru are almost qualified. Even in terms of military exploits, you are more than enough to be a marshal."

He sighed lightly, "It's just the top priorities, never these things."

She didn't explain some things clearly, but everyone present knew it very well.

Over the years in the navy, it is not uncommon for the same generation to have many top powerhouses, but there have always been only three general positions.

This can be said to be a tradition, and latecomers are not easy to change, but to a greater extent, it is nothing more than the world government's need to control the balance of power among the three armed forces.

A strong navy is undoubtedly a good thing for the government, but it is not necessarily too strong.

Especially in the past few years, since the rise of the new generation of naval powerhouses with Nuo Xia at the core, the navy has taken a comprehensive advantage over the pirates, and the new world's territory is gradually regaining stability, and its prestige is getting higher and higher.

Before the end of the Great Pirate Era, they had to rely heavily on them, and they didn't want them to be promoted too quickly. This was probably the complicated mood of the meat eaters right now.

Not to mention that Nuo Xia, who was the most popular in the limelight, did that kind of "rebellious" thing some time ago, which even filled a layer of obstruction for the world government.

"It's boring."

Nuo Xia took a sip of the borscht and said uninterestedly, "At most two or three years, we have to be promoted. It doesn't matter whether we advance or not, but how long can the world government drag on like this? I'd like to see Let's see how they plan to solve it."

"If you didn't go to Beihai some time ago."

Crane raised two fingers, smiled and said, "Then there are two possibilities, one of which is that you will be promoted to a general first to fill the vacancy in the Warring States Period, and Akaken and Aokiji will remain the same. After Zefa officially retires, let’s keep the current situation unchanged.”

"This one can already be passed."

Nuo Xia shrugged, "So there is only the last one left, which is the possibility that everyone doesn't really want to see?"

"..."

Crane had no interface, just picked up the teacup and sighed softly.

……

a week later.

Amidst all kinds of suspicious and uncertain voices from the outside world, the World Government finally announced the candidate for the next Marshal.

As soon as the result came out, countless people were surprised.

Warring States, who was already widely expected to take over as marshal, remained in the same position as a general, but the one who replaced the steel bone was a nameless person who had never heard of it.

— Barrick Weir.

It seems that it is not accurate to say that it is an unknown person. At most, it is just that it has not shown much in the outside world and is not well known by the public.

The fifty-five-year-old Marshal Weir was already a high-ranking official before taking over. He had held important positions in the military management department of the world government for many years, and his rank was roughly equivalent to that of the deputy commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Taking over as Admiral of the Navy this time is not even considered a level, but a half-step downgrade.

However, this sudden arrangement from the sky still caused an uproar in public opinion. Many grassroots soldiers in the headquarters were very dissatisfied with this, and voices of complaints and doubts could be heard everywhere in Marin Fando.

On the contrary, a group of high-level navy officials, seeing that the world government has been slow to make a decision, have probably prepared for guessing in their hearts, and they are not surprised by this.

Nuo Xia didn't take it too seriously.

As a time traveler, although he doesn't remember the specific timeline so clearly, there is no doubt that the position of future marshal will still be in the Warring States period, and it will be a matter of the next few years to survive.

As for Weir, he didn't have such a person at all in his impression. At most, he could be regarded as a temporary power in the middle of the transition period. As an outsider who was airborne, he was destined not to integrate into the internal system of the Navy.

In his opinion, no one in the entire headquarters would have any expectations of Marshal Weil. If the latter is a smart person, Xiao Guicao can just hang around honestly for a few years and wait to be handed over to the Warring States Period.

No fault is a merit, so at least it can retain a good reputation within the navy.

But it's a pity.

Sometimes, in this world, things always backfire.

……

Three days later, Weir arrived at Marlin Vandor from the Holy Land and formally took over as Admiral of the Navy.

A group of high-level naval officers headed by He originally arranged a welcoming ceremony to welcome the new supreme commander.

however.

As soon as he landed, Weier felt that the scene was too shabby, and he put on a dirty face the whole time. He and the others who came to receive him personally shook hands perfunctorily. Before the ceremony was over, he left with his trusted subordinates. Went to the marshal's office.

And the next morning.

He then issued an order document after he became the new marshal, that is, to hold a grand military parade with a very high standard in Marin Vanduo. What is the current mental outlook of the headquarters?

Besides.

In the next two months, all the commanders of the branch with the prefix G- must return to the headquarters for an assessment. Only by passing his assessment can they be qualified to continue to hold the original position, otherwise they will face a large-scale transfer. .

A series of operations down.

In just two days, there were complaints from all over the headquarters.

But at the same time, many people have also noticed that the new Marshal Weir obviously does not want to be a temporary transitional person, but has great ambitions, and wants to truly control the navy, the most powerful force in the sea, under his own control. hands.

……

"There are three fires for a new official to take office, and one is more prosperous than the other."

In the courtyard, Nuo Xia lay lazily on Dingchun's stomach, and said leisurely:
"I really didn't expect that Marshal Weir would make such a big commotion as soon as he came. This fire will not only make the whole Marin Vanduo jump up and down, but also burn you in the new world. came back."

"I don't want to come back either, what can I do?"

Aokiji, who was sitting on the swing opposite, said angrily, "At the beginning, I sent a document. I was chasing pirates outside, but I didn't respond to it immediately. As a result, a phone call came in the middle of the night, and I was sprayed. The dog's head is bloody."

"I can only leave immediately. Fortunately, the task at hand has been completed at that time, and the new world has been relatively peaceful and stable in the past two years thanks to you. Otherwise, I would not feel at ease this trip."

"Tsk tsk, the dignified G-5 branch base chief, how can he be so angry."

Nuo Xia smiled and said, "But you have to think about the bright side, at least you are a busy person, and you are finally free to come to my house for dinner. Speaking of which, since you and Jasmine got married, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half. Let's meet, don't you miss me at all?"

"Do not want to."

"Really? Not at all?"

"Not at all."

"Then you roll down for me. With your weight, my daughter's swing will collapse later."

"Hey, I won't, what can you do with me?"

……

After half a minute.

Aokiji sat cross-legged on the lawn obediently, with three layers of bags stacked high on his head, glowing like thunder.

"It's still a familiar feeling... You see, the feeling from back then, isn't it coming back?"

Nuo Xia clapped her hands in satisfaction, sat back in Dingchun's arms, and asked casually, "Sakaski and Polusalino have also returned to the headquarters, have you seen them?"

"Porusalino hasn't seen him yet."

Aokiji shook his head, hesitated for a while before saying, "As for Sakaski, when I went to the marshal's office to report his duties, I just saw him push the door out, and that guy seemed to have had a big fight with Weir, and when he came out, he had an ugly face It's scary, I greeted him and ignored me."

And this thing?
Nuo Xia was slightly taken aback, and then shook his head, "It's not surprising, that guy's fiery temper can really be contradicted face-to-face..."

"It's as if you have a good temper."

Aokiji rolled his eyes, "Afterwards, I asked a few acquaintances about it, and they all said that Weier was not easy to deal with, and he liked to put on airs and look at people through his nostrils, so you didn't let him out as the base chief, otherwise you would wait for the assessment. , I think you can't help but turn against this Marshal."

"I don't need a job review."

Nuo Xia said indifferently, "However, the Marshal himself said that he will make an appointment with me alone in three days, saying that he has important matters to discuss face to face."

"A private appointment?"

Aokiji was stunned, "It can't be about the white town... What is this, I got the order from the people above, and come to the autumn to settle the score?"

He was a little worried immediately, watching Nuo Xia hesitate to speak.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Nuo Xia smiled, looked at the sun in the sky, and lazily said:
"I'm not the same person I was back then. I still hoped to be able to become a general smoothly and fulfill my childhood dream. For my dream, I can endure no matter how humiliating I suffered. How could I be so passionate and turn my face against this man?" Where is the marshal?"

Aokiji looked at him strangely.

Just as he was about to say something more, suddenly there were two knocks on the door outside.

He and Nuo Xia Qiqi turned their heads and looked over.

"Two."

Huang Sir, who hadn't seen him for many years, was lying on the wall at some point, looking at them with a smile:

"Let's gossip later, I have to go to the conference room to gather now. The Marshal has summoned us urgently. It seems that something serious happened last night at the Holy Land..."

--------

PS: The protagonist does not know the specific timeline, but the author must have checked it in detail. Here is a detail. According to the original comics, in 1510 in the Haiyuan calendar, Fisher Tiger died in an ambush by Major General Stolberg, and At that time, his immediate boss, Huang Yuan, was still a lieutenant general of the G2 branch.

In addition, when Corazon died at the hands of Doflamingo in 1509, Sengoku was still a general.

In other words, the Warring States took over as Marshal, at least after 1510.
