Chapter 707: Power comes from strength!
The sun rose above the sea level, and the morning sunlight illuminated the harbor of Marindo with a golden hue.
There is no so-called vacation in the navy job. When there are missions, you are busy. When there are no missions, apart from training, the rest of the time is your own.
The navy stationed in the four seas has relatively few training tasks, and the navy there has relatively more time for itself. However, the training pressure of the headquarters navy in Marinford is much greater, and because the headquarters navy often needs to go out to sea to hunt down those powerful pirates that the branch cannot handle, the naval port of Marinford has always been very busy.
However, for some unknown reason, the naval port was unusually quiet today.
The near seas and the distant seas were no longer filled with ships as they were in the past. All the warships were docked at the naval ports, and no ship left the naval headquarters.
The sailors guarding the naval port all looked solemn, with a hint of worry between their brows compared to before.
The uneasy mood of the upper echelons eventually affected the different naval forces on duty at the lowest level. Although these ordinary naval forces had no idea what had happened in the holy land, the uneasy mood of the senior commanders was passed down step by step after they learned the news, and now it has affected all the naval forces in the headquarters.
In a large conference room at the headquarters.
All officers above the rank of vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters gathered together. Although some vice admirals were sent out to perform missions, the situation was urgent and Sengoku no longer had time to wait for them to return.
In the center of the conference room, there is a long oval table. Only generals and some senior lieutenant generals can sit at the table. As for the lieutenant generals with less seniority and weaker strength, they can only sit in the corner with stools to attend the meeting.
It was clearly an internal meeting of the Navy Headquarters, but the person sitting in the main seat was not Admiral Sengoku or any of the other admirals, but Tsugaru Yoriichi.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, who had just accompanied Zephyr to complete the grave relocation, did not have time to change his clothes. After the meeting was over, he was invited by Sengoku to attend this high-level meeting within the Navy Headquarters.
After dealing with the Holy Land and the Celestial Dragons, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni was actually considering how to deal with the Marine Headquarters.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni did not want to go to war with these former colleagues. He originally planned to persuade Sengoku, but Sengoku's tact was beyond Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's expectations.
It was unexpected that someone like Sengoku, who was able to rise to the high position of Admiral of the Navy, actually had no desire to control power.
The huge conference room was extremely quiet at this moment.
Sitting next to Jiguo Yuan, Zhan Guo looked around and saw that all the important figures of the Navy Headquarters had arrived. He also coughed lightly. After attracting everyone's attention, Zhan Guo slowly stood up and said:
"Everyone who should be here has arrived, so let's start the meeting."
"I called all of you here this time for no other reason than to announce a few things."
"I think some of you who are well-informed already know about it, and I think many of you probably didn't sleep well last night."
"I think you will all be able to get a good night's sleep after today's meeting."
At the beginning of the meeting, Sengoku acted as a riddler, and some uninformed navy officers focused their eyes on Sengoku. After hearing what Sengoku said, their eyes inadvertently swept over Yoriichi Tsugakuni who was sitting in the main seat, and they guessed in their hearts that what happened next might be related to Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Zephyr.
"Just last night, I and Yuichi Tsugikoku climbed the holy land of Marinjoa."
"Under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the holy land has been destroyed."
"All the Tianlong people in the holy land will be killed!"
After Zhan Guo finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the conference room.
Borsalino and Sakaski had already received the news last night, but when they heard Zhan Guo openly announce such a thing in the conference room, their faces trembled slightly.
Obviously, such news would shock them no matter how many times they heard it.
Magellan, one of the three admirals, had a slightly weaker intelligence network at the headquarters. This was the first time he heard such news. At this moment, he looked at Zhan Guo in astonishment, his mouth slightly open, and even forgot to breathe.
"what!!!"
"The holy land was destroyed? All the Tianlong people were killed? ! ! How is this possible!!!"
"Marshal Zhan Guo, what are you talking about?!"
After a while, bursts of exclamations were heard. Those lieutenant generals who were slow to realize the news were shocked by the news given by Zhan Guo. Some of them even ignored their own image, stood up suddenly, and asked Zhan Guo repeatedly.
The originally quiet meeting room was now noisy.
Zhan Guo stood beside Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, observing the behavior and demeanor of the lieutenant generals in the conference room with a cold eye, allowing the participants to ask questions at will. When the discussion in the conference room gradually died down, Zhan Guo continued calmly:
"The news I just said can be easily verified and confirmed."
"I sent a team to the holy land last night. By noon at the latest, the pictures of the Malinjoa ruins should be able to be transmitted back to the Navy Headquarters."
"By then, you should be able to confirm what I said."
As he spoke, Zhan Guo stretched out his hand and calmed down several lieutenant admirals who had stood up, motioning them to sit down. Relying on the prestige he had accumulated over the years in the Navy Headquarters, the originally slightly noisy conference room quickly returned to calm.
Zhan Guo has already said this much, the accuracy of the news should be beyond doubt, but many lieutenant generals still have a blank mind at this moment. It is because the news brought by Zhan Guo is too shocking. Although there are only a few sentences, the amount of information contained in it and the impact this matter will have on them are really too great.
Many lieutenant generals were confused at this moment.
Holy Land Dragons.
The huge force that had ruled the world for eight hundred years was overthrown overnight. Anyone who heard about this would have to have the first reaction of disbelief.
"The holy land was destroyed and the Celestial Dragons were exterminated. This news is absolutely true."
“Because I saw it with my own eyes.”
"In addition to announcing this news, I called you here to discuss how we are going to fill the gap left by the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons."
"What do you have?"
Before Zhan Guo could finish his words, a young lieutenant general stood up beside the wall and interrupted him directly:
"Marshal Warring States!!!"
A loud shout caught everyone's attention.
When everyone looked over, the vice admiral pointed at Tsugekuni Yoriichi who was sitting in the main seat and asked angrily:
"Marshal Sengoku, you said that it was this Tsugikoku Yoshiichi who destroyed the holy land, right?!"
"So what are we doing now?!"
"How can this criminal who dares to offend the Celestial Dragons sit in the meeting room of our Marine Headquarters so openly?!"
"As marines, shouldn't we just capture and kill this guy right here?!"
Although he is called a young lieutenant general, he is actually over 40 years old and can be considered as one of the young and vigorous members of the unit.
However, when he said this, the eyes of several lieutenant generals beside him actually revealed a bit of confusion, and then they quietly distanced themselves from this lieutenant general.
Yoriichi Tsugumi destroyed the holy land and massacred the Celestial Dragons.
Such a guy appeared at their internal meeting of the Navy Headquarters together with Zhan Guo. What does this mean? Isn't it obvious?!
What Sengoku said just now was so clear. He, the admiral of the navy, also went to the holy land with Yoriichi Tsugakuni. This was an open coup, and the core figures of the coup were Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Sengoku.
Singing a different tune from Jiguo Yuanyi? Isn't this singing a different tune from Zhan Guo?
Let’s not talk about how strong they are. Just talking about power, can a vice admiral be able to glare at the navy marshal?!
The Celestial Dragons no longer exist, and the World Government is probably in name only. In today's Marine Headquarters, it can almost be said that Sengoku has the final say.
Maybe some people are indeed dissatisfied, but how can they show it in a meeting like this?
Afraid that you won't be liquidated fast enough? !
Lieutenant General Maynard
Zhan Guo looked at the lieutenant general who stood up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the tone he spoke revealed a strong sense of oppression.
Like most people in this world, Maynard received the most "orthodox" education from the World Government, and has an inexplicable sense of belonging to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
He is not an upright person, but in the navy, Maynard can be considered a loyal person. Be it to the World Government or the Navy Headquarters, he is a pure soldier who sometimes values his mission more than his life.
From the perspective of the World Government, Maynard can be considered a "die-hard fan".
However, the Navy Headquarters no longer needs those guys who are loyal to the World Government.
"Maynard, sit down!"
Maynard is a hawk and a member of Sakaski's faction. When Sakaski saw Maynard actually jump out to criticize Sengoku and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, he frowned and shouted angrily.
When one's status reaches Sakaski's, "loyalty" in the simple sense no longer exists.
Sakaski is loyal to his uniform and his ideals, but that's all he is to the Celestial Dragons.
When the existence of the Celestial Dragons can stabilize the world, obeying their will is naturally the best choice.
But now all the Tianlong people are gone, and the World Government is in name only. In order to keep the world stable, Sakaski will naturally start looking for other ways.
He would not be so foolish as to seek revenge for the Celestial Dragons. That kind of thing would have no meaning to the stability of the world.
On the contrary, if Yoriichi Tsugakuni can bring stability back to the world, it is not impossible for Sakaski to change his position and assist Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
The ultimate pursuit and ideal of the generals is to hope that the world can be stable.
As for who is in power at the top, Sakaski doesn't really care.
As long as the person in that position is someone he recognizes as being able to restore stability to the world, that will be enough.
As for Borsalino, that guy's sense of autonomy is even stronger than Sakaski's. He and Tsugumi Yuichiro have had a close relationship for a long time.
As for Magellan, the new general basically follows the lead of Zhan Guo Ma. After hearing such news, he is still digesting it.
Other veteran lieutenant generals like He have close relations with the Warring States. They had actually already decided how to deal with such a huge change last night.
The fusion of the new navy and the naval headquarters is truly unstoppable this time.
The officers present all knew what was going on. Those who didn't would only end up with a bloody head if they jumped out.
For a moment, all the lieutenant generals in the conference room looked at Tsugery Yuichiro secretly, observing Tsugery Yuichiro's expression. They all wanted to see how Tsugery Yuichiro would deal with that guy.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that from the moment Tsugikoku Yoshiichi took the top position, Marshal Sengoku was no longer the real boss of the Navy Headquarters.
The angry shout from Sakaski did not calm Lieutenant General Maynard down. On the contrary, he saw that Sakaski had found his backbone and said in a low voice:
"General Sakaski, don't you have anything to say when you see this?!"
"Isn't Tsugikoku Yoshiichi a wanted criminal? And this guy actually attacked the holy land!"
"How can such a person sit in our navy's meeting room!"
"Are we still the navy?!"
"Such a guy"
Maynard seemed to have a lot of opinions about Tsugumi Yoshiichi. In fact, he was sent to attack the New Navy that year, and later escaped from Abel's hands by chance. In fact, there is an irreconcilable hatred between him and the New Navy.
However, before Maynard could finish his words, Sakaski interrupted him angrily:
"shut up!"
"Who do you think you are? Why do you keep talking about our navy?"
"As a navy, how can you not take Marshal Sengoku seriously?!"
"Do you still have a general like me in your eyes?"
"Now! Shut up! Sit down!"
Sakaski was so angry that he bit off the cigar in his mouth and it fell to the ground.
Maynard is loud, but Sakaski is louder
Maynard was also overwhelmed by Sakaski's momentum for a moment. He opened his mouth and looked at Sakaski in disbelief, then sat down on the chair in silence.
Seeing him sit down, Sakaski's expression eased a little. He glanced at the indifferent Tsugikoku Yoriichi, then stood up and saluted towards Sengoku, saying with some self-blame:
"I am truly sorry, Marshal Zhan Guo, I failed to discipline my subordinates well."
"After the meeting, I will definitely punish him and give you a satisfactory answer."
Sakaski quietly gave Zhan Guo a way out, but Zhan Guo had no intention of following it.
"From today on, Lieutenant General Maynard will be transferred to East Sea Rogge Town as the base commander."
"Maynard, don't sit there anymore. Get ready and take up your post immediately!"
The farce happened in front of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. After hearing what Sengoku said about Maynard, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi suddenly interrupted and said:
"Marshal Zhan Guo, it would be a waste of talent to be transferred to Rogue Town."
"Maynard is very capable, and it's a waste for him to serve in a place like Donghai."
"Let's go to the new world! Let's work for Yixiao!"
Tsugaru Yoshiichi's words surprised everyone present. Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo did not object and nodded to Tsugaru Yoshiichi.
This little interaction between the two made everyone nervous.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni actually has a say in personnel appointments within the navy!
