Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

All kinds of words flashed through his mind. Even Xia Le, who had experienced countless battles, couldn't help but feel heroic and excited at this moment.

But it only took a moment for him to suppress the emotion and regain his composure.

"If you leave it to me."

"I can train them into a strong and elite force that belongs to us!"

Barrett said in a deep voice.

He came from the military and had his own ideas on how to train and manage soldiers.

His eyes fixed, and then he spoke again.

"An army that only obeys us and only you!"

Hearing this, Xia Le's eyes flickered.

When the warship docked at the port, Xia Le and others walked down one by one, their eyes set on the front.

The sailors, arranged in neat rows and densely packed together, all stood upright and looked at them with eyes that showed either excitement or curiosity.

The officer standing in the front row suddenly shouted loudly.

"salute!!"

In an instant, all the navy saluted.

The same action caused a buzzing sound in the air.

Xia Le looked at this scene with a calm expression.

He strode to the front, glanced at everyone, and then slowly raised his hand to return the greeting.

"Hello, everyone!"

"I am Lieutenant General Xia Le, and I will be the next person to take over the position of commander at the G-18 base!"

The square was quiet. The sea breeze blew, causing the naval flags on the warships docked in the port to flutter.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the new commander.

"So, on the first day I met you."

"Can someone give me a brief introduction to the details of this fortress?"

Xia Le spoke slowly, his eyes falling on the highest-ranking female officer on the scene.

The latter felt his gaze and immediately strode out of the team.

"Branch Colonel Ivya reports to you!"

Xia Le looked at the other person, first observing, then smiling.

"Then thank you for your help, Ivya."

This female officer is obviously a swordsman. She has a sword on her waist, a serious expression, a somewhat cold temperament, black-framed glasses, and her black hair is tied into a ponytail. She gives people a very refreshing and pure feeling.

As for how much strength he has, Xia Le has no idea.

But being able to hold the highest military rank in this base should not be a bad thing.

“This is what I should do!”

Ivya said softly.

Then, a pair of eyes looked at the young lieutenant general with curiosity.

Chapter 99: Squad

For a branch colonel like Ivya, the tall and strong superior in front of him was like a legendary figure walking into reality.

Her young heart was shocked.

From the first second she received the order, Evya was in a trance.

It was even hard to believe that such a powerful lieutenant admiral with high prestige in the navy would come to a small place like Xihai to take up a post.

Compared with Lieutenant General Xia Le's abilities, a position like G-18 Commander is undoubtedly a mismatch.

He has a better future.

"Tell me about the situation here."

"Also, let them go their separate ways."

Xia Le chuckled softly, looking down at the female officer in front of him.

The other person seemed a little dazed. Her delicate face and attire reminded him of the female officer named Tashigi who would stand beside Smoker in the future.

"Yes!"

Eveyya woke up as if from a dream, and when she saw her superior looking at her, she immediately blushed.

She turned and winked at her other colleagues, then followed the officer in front of her who was already walking towards the base complex.

"G-18 base, there are about marines."

"There are thirty-five large, medium and small warships in total."

"The base is circular in shape, with the main structure built on a small, deserted island and surrounded by city walls."

Taking a slight breath, Eveyya introduced calmly.

While listening to the words in his ear, Xia Le looked around.

At the same time, his field radiated rapidly, covering the entire fortress in the blink of an eye.

Just as Eveya said, this base indeed has a circular structure. On the west side is the main body of the base, on which there are restaurants, training grounds, entertainment venues, residential areas, armories, etc., and on the east side is the magnificent gate.

Tall watchtowers were built in the east, south, west and north directions.

The only way to enter this fortress is through the eastern gate, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Lieutenant General Johnny is about to retire, so until you come to the base, all affairs here will be temporarily managed by me."

When Ivya said this, she seemed a little cautious.

"In that case, you are an excellent management talent."

Hearing this, Xia Le smiled.

"No, no."

Ivya said quickly.

"From today on, I'll trouble you, Ivyya, to serve as my adjutant."

Xia Le suddenly said.

"what?"

The sudden words made Ivyya stunned.

"As for the rest of the matters, Crocodile, Barrett, and Evans will handle them well."

Xia Le then continued.

Ivya's heart trembled, and she immediately understood.

She turned her head and realized that a few more people had appeared at the back of the team without her noticing.

“The momentum is so terrifying!”

"There are monsters around Lieutenant General Xia Le!"

Ivya was nervous.

As everyone wandered around the base, she acted as a tour guide, introducing things to everyone else.

It is worth mentioning that Lu Jiu had also changed into a navy uniform and followed at the end of the team.

"The total number of naval forces in the entire West Sea should be around 280,000."

"The major islands, towns, kingdoms, and the troops patrolling the seas, totaling 280,000 navy troops, are all under your control and command."

“When something big happens, other branches will ask us for help, and it’s up to you to decide whether to support us.”

Ivya said with a smile.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand?"

Hearing this number, Xia Le was slightly stunned.

He was a little surprised, but also felt it was natural.

The four major seas are actually extremely vast, occupying nearly a quarter of the planet's area.

The reason why the navy can control the world is because of the huge number of grassroots navy under its command.

Although most of the 280,000 branch navies are of the most ordinary lower level and their individual combat power is not strong, he can easily deal with them even if he is alone.

But such a number was still shocking and made his heart beat fast.

It is this most ordinary group of people that laid the foundation for the world government to control the world.

Similarly, countless colonels, generals, and even admirals in the navy came from these most ordinary grassroots levels.

"To truly control these 280,000 people is equivalent to indirectly owning the entire West Sea."

Xia Le narrowed his eyes slightly.

He glanced at Crocodile, Barrett and others behind him.

When these people heard this astonishing number, they were obviously shocked and showed excitement.

Xia Le naturally knew what he was thinking.

He suddenly revealed a helpless smile.

They were obviously members of the navy, but they seemed to be a group with bad intentions who had infiltrated the navy and were preparing to take over its position.

But the fact seems to be exactly so.

From that day on, when he heard the conversation in the Marshal's office, Xia Le began to ponder over it.

Go to all over the world, take control of local military power, plan slowly, and then occupy it completely, and have a loyal army that only obeys your orders.

This was the initial plan he made.

He did not become a pirate or engage in revolution. Instead, he was like a skinny worm, gradually devouring the huge navy and eventually making it his own.

After touring the entire base, Xia Le had already gained some understanding of the fortress where he was stationed.

"Major Crocodile, effective immediately, you will be promoted to lieutenant colonel and in charge of the First Squadron."

"Barrett, you will also be promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, in charge of the Second Squad. You will also serve as the chief instructor of the base, responsible for training outstanding and promising soldiers."

"Major Evans, in charge of Squad 3."

"Major T. Penn, in charge of the Fourth Squad."

"Yagyubei, the 5th Division."

After assigning the five teams, he paused slightly and continued.

"Slo, Squad 6."

"Kira, Squad 7."

"Mina, Squad 8."

"The supreme commander of the ninth to thirteenth squads remains unchanged."

"If the rest of the former officers are dissatisfied, they can challenge the person I assign. If they win, they will be reinstated. Otherwise, they can just be deputies."

After saying this, Ivyya's expression changed slightly.

"Yes, Lieutenant General Xia Le."

"I will pass on your order."

She was keenly aware of her new superior's swift and decisive approach, and the orders he issued would not tolerate any questioning.
