Pirates: I built a super navy city

Chapter 35

"Are you short of money?"

Tina's question made Luo Lan feel a little weird.

Yes, I am short of money. Will you support me?

Of course, he couldn't really say that...

"There is no other way. I have to support hundreds of people. The monthly salary alone must be several million Baileys, and other daily expenses are also not small."

"Well... it seems so!"

Tina nodded, because what Luo Lan said was correct.

After thinking for a while, she took out a parchment roll.

"This is a treasure map that Tina got some time ago. The location is in the East China Sea, but it is not guaranteed to be true or false!"

"If you are interested, you can try it!"

Push the parchment treasure map in front of Luo Lan.

Tina resumed her original sitting position and continued to "listen in".

And Luo Lan picked up the treasure map and opened it to take a look.

"Thank you, Sister Tina!"

------

At the end of the meeting, Ian made a report.

He is currently in charge of a lot of work, whether it is the marines in the combat sequence, the logistics sequence, or the new recruits, all of them are managed by him.

In addition, Ian is also in charge of the Intelligence Department, the largest department of the 157th branch.

He has taken too much pressure off Luo Lan.

So much so that Tina glared at Luo Lan fiercely when Ian was only halfway through his work report.

This meaning does not need to be translated at all.

That is...

Even if he is a tool, he is not used like this!

He has been your follower for several years after all...

As long as Ian is alive, he will be used to death, right?

But at the same time, Tina was also shocked.

All the marines of the 157th branch, if the new recruits are included, the number is almost 300.

The most exaggerated is the Intelligence Department, with more than 100 agents and tens of thousands of non-staff personnel. The entire network almost covers the entire East China Sea.

Even all the major pirate groups have people from the Intelligence Department.

Is this something a branch can have?

After forcibly sitting in on a meeting, Tina was stunned.

However, the following was what really stunned him.

"Colonel, just a few minutes before the meeting, the intelligence department just received the latest intelligence about Colonel Smoker!"

"Tell me, how much rank was he stripped this time?"

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, then asked directly.

He was stunned because this was earlier than he expected. After all, he had told Tina before that if Smoker continued to be in charge of the investigation, he would be punished sooner or later.

Maybe...

He would be sent to Branch 16 to accompany him.

He just didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Uh, Colonel, you already know?"

"I guessed, you continue to report!"

"Yes, according to the intelligence we received, the Navy Headquarters has ordered that the investigation of the East China Sea will be handed over to Vice Admiral Val, and Colonel Smoker must immediately stop all investigations until Vice Admiral Val arrives."

"As a result, this guy disobeyed orders?"

"Yes, so Marshal Sengoku issued an order to deprive Colonel Smoker of all his positions, and his rank was also reduced to private third class, and at the same time... he was transferred to Branch 157."

Speaking of this, Ian's expression was also a little strange.

Really...

Isn't Marshal Sengoku sending us talents?

This way, Branch 157 has 2 natural science departments, yes...

Of the 5 natural science departments in the Navy, almost half are here.

"Smoker... was fired?"

"And Marshal Zhan Guo actually let Lieutenant General Val take full charge of the investigation?"

"What can you find out if you investigate yourself?"

"Tina is confused!"

Who had the biggest reaction after this news was revealed?

It was definitely Tina.

Of course, she had expected Smoker's incident, after all, Luo Lan had said it before, and although she was a little surprised, it was just like that.

But letting Val take charge of the investigation...

Tina was really disgusted!

"Sister Tina, now you should understand why I did those things, right?"

"This order was obviously issued by the Five Elders, and the purpose is... nothing more than to protect Val!"

"As for Marshal Sengoku..."

"He dare not disobey the Five Elders!"

"Absolute justice?"

"No, it is actually absolute obedience!"

"Obeying me is justice, opposing me... that is pirates, evil!"

"Justice of the Navy? That has always been a joke!"

------

Justice of the Navy is a joke?

The latest order of the Marshal and what Luo Lan said.

It caused a great shock to Tina.

So much so that on the way back, the whole personA bit dazed.

Luo Lan was in his office, looking at the treasure map he got from Tina.

"Carlo Island... is it within the East China Sea Prosperity Zone?"

"Ian, do you know the situation of this island?"

Putting down the treasure map, Luo Lan looked at his adjutant.

"Colonel, this is a small island located on the north side of the Jumeda Islands. Even the navy dare not approach it casually."

"Why?"

Luo Lan was surprised.

The navy dare not approach it casually. Is there anything special about this island?

"Because this island is the home of Click, and there are hundreds of artillery installed on it, so..."

Okay, I thought too much.

After listening to Ian's explanation, Luo Lan finally understood.

After all, except for the town of Roge, the branches in the East China Sea basically only have 1-2 small warships.

And there are not many strong men with real ability.

Facing an island like a hedgehog with hundreds of artillery pieces deployed...

One or two warships are really useless.

Could it be...

It was because of this treasure that Klick was able to gather 50 large warships in just two years?

If that's the case, then this treasure is really not simple...

At least, it's a few billion Baileys!!!

"Ian, select 100 marines to be fully armed and board the ship tomorrow morning to set off for Carlo Island!"

"Yes, Colonel, but... our two submarines can't..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Lan.

"We are going to take a new submarine this time!"

"If it weren't for leaving some people to guard the house and freeing up some positions to supplement some personnel, I would even want all the marines to practice!"

A new submarine, and a large one.

Hiss...

When and how did the colonel get it?

Well, these are not things I should care about.

"Yes, Colonel, I'll do it right away!"

------

The next morning.

Luo Lan and Ian, with a full hundred marines, appeared at the old port.

Although the dock had been damaged by Tina's warship, it didn't matter.

Because, Tana was not originally prepared to come over.

"Sister Tina, why did you follow?"

"You want Tina not to follow? Well, return the treasure map to Tina!"
