One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 671: Navy Movements

"You all know the report, take a look?"

Zhan Guo sat on the high platform, looking at the naval generals below and said, "Today is a long-awaited meeting of the navy. The agenda is very simple, which is to discuss what the main goal of the navy will be in the future?"
This is actually a commonplace question. In recent years, the situation of the navy has become increasingly embarrassing. Even they themselves don't know what to do? It seems that they have been led by the nose by the pirates. Before the Age of Discovery, they often had a lot of gains, but now, the pirates no longer use the old strategy of robbing and running away. Instead, they have begun to occupy their own territories one by one. Especially with the existence of the Four Emperors, their lives are more comfortable than those of the navy, and the governance of the people below is better than that of the navy, which really leaves the navy speechless.

"My suggestion is that our main target now is not the New World. After all, the Four Emperors of the New World are united as one, and we won't get any good results if we go there now. It is better to ignore them for now and turn the ship around and put all our energy into the Four Seas to ensure the situation of the entire Four Seas. As long as the Four Seas are not in chaos, it will not only reduce the number of pirates, but also stabilize our rear area, so that we will not be attacked from both sides."

Sakaski stood up and talked about his ideas. In his opinion, the Four Emperors have never been a problem, because the Four Emperors are more like overlords than pirates. The ordinary people in their territories do not live badly, and it can even be said that they live very well. The real pirates, that is, the bandits and robbers are the real big trouble. Although they are not strong, they harass countries everywhere, fight and run away, and never stay. It is really disgusting.

"Good suggestion, does anyone else have any suggestions?"

Zhan Guo nodded. Actually, he knew what Sakaski said, but sometimes knowing does not mean being able to do it. In the past two years, the New World has been too provocative, which really makes people have to be on guard. In addition, Marshal Kong was just forced to step down last year, which made many naval generals full of resentment towards those guys in the New World. If Zhan Guo does not take a tough stance against the New World, he will not be able to explain to others.

"I think the image of the navy should be changed."

At this time, Ekaterina stood up and spoke, and her words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Xiao Ye, ahem, Major General Ekaterina, please tell me what you think."

Just as Zhan Guo was about to call out the nickname, he remembered that they were in a meeting, and immediately changed his tone.

"Yes! That's right, everyone. We all work in the headquarters, and most of us are senior generals. We don't have any problems with food and clothing, and no one will withhold the soldiers' wages. But it's different in Sihai. When I sailed last time, I found that in other places, especially in some branches of Sihai, there were many abnormal corruption problems, withholding wages, colluding with local businessmen, oppressing the people, and so on. I dealt with some of them, but what I saw was definitely only a small part of them. No one knows how many such people exist in the dark. If we don't pay attention to it, sooner or later, the reputation of the navy will be completely rotten, and then the navy will be unable to move forward."

Ekaterina said this very seriously. She was not exaggerating. Everyone could hear how much harm her words would cause.

"Major General Ekaterina, can you take responsibility for what you said? Do you have any evidence?"

Zhan Guo knew that Ekaterina could not lie and that every word she asked must be true, but he had to ask this question. After all, this matter should not be underestimated. Although the reputation of the navy has become very bad over the years due to the World Government, becoming bad because of other people's reasons is different from becoming bad because of one's own reasons. Although the problem of corruption has actually existed over the years, the fact that it was raised in public by Ekaterina has obviously reached a point where it cannot be ignored. After all, Ekaterina's temperament is still relatively soft. When she cannot tolerate something, it is often the case that most people cannot tolerate it.

"Yes! I have already recorded all the situations I encountered after sailing, including some situations reported by local people. The stolen money seized locally has also been returned to the people after being photographed and confirmed. Now the analysis table of all the situations is with me, I can take it now."

Ekaterina imitated Sakaski and said with a stern face that if this meeting had not been held too suddenly, she should have already reported the matter to Zhan Guo.

"Okay, bring it here right away and let me see." Zhan Guo was so satisfied with Ekaterina. This child, um no, this girl was so thorough in doing things. She always did things with basis and was not pedantic. Although her strength was a little lacking, she was obviously a major general, but her strength was at most a colonel. However, her ability to do things would not be exchanged for two lieutenant generals. Someone like Garp, who was not considered strong, would not be exchanged for a hundred!
After a while, Ekaterina came back with two people, holding a large pile of things, and handed them all to Zhan Guo. After Zhan Guo took them, he and Zefa and He, who were also sitting on the podium, started to read them. After reading one document, he passed it to the bottom for more people to circulate. After a while, the whole conference room began to discuss in a low voice, and gradually, the low voice turned into a loud discussion, mixed with countless swear words. Some people were so excited that they stood on the table and cursed, and even blatantly violated He's order and smoked in the conference room to cool down.

"It's outrageous, outrageous! What do these people think of the navy? Do they deserve the word justice? A naval branch has only two usable warships, and the rest have been replaced by merchant ships to buy and sell contraband. Not only that, more than two-thirds of the salaries are empty. The report says 150 people, but there are actually less than people! It's simply lawless! These damn guys! I wonder why pirates in the four seas have been rampant over the years!"

Sakaski had led a naval fleet to patrol the four seas. There were corruption problems, but they were definitely not this serious. He was also curious about why there were more and more pirates in the four seas in recent years. So it was like this. Some of the navy he saw at that time were not navy at all. They were navy pretending to be navy in collusion with the high-level officials of the local naval base. He actually fell for it. It was a shame! Shame!!!

"They eat up the money without paying, they protect the pirates, they let the pirates rob, and then they use the lack of weapons to blackmail the local people, and then they split the money 50-50. These people are really calculating."

Kuzan, who had been in a lazy state since the O'Hara incident, was also angry. Their high-level officials were still desperately trying to eliminate the pirates, but the people below actually started to cooperate with the pirates? Well, it was really good. Ekaterina was too lenient and just used simple military law. If it were me, I would definitely freeze and break all the limbs of those guys, and then tie them to a rack and starve them to death.

"And this. As a navy officer, he actually sold weapons and equipment and imprisoned civilians. There are only 200 people in a naval base, but he actually kept more than 600 female slaves. He's not afraid of dying in his bed!"

Borsalino, who had always been ambiguous and slacking off, now frowned, and veins bulged on his hands holding the report, and he was obviously extremely angry.

"Everyone has seen it, what do you think?"

Zhan Guo put down the last report in his hand, took off his glasses and wiped them, then spoke to everyone. At this moment, Zhan Guo's eyes were red. There were not only words on it, but also photos. The situations in those photos were too tragic, even for him, a battle-hardened marshal, to feel uncomfortable. He had always felt that the Celestial Dragons were disgusting, but he did not expect that his own navy was also full of filthy things and they even had the nerve to laugh at others.

"There's nothing to say, Marshal! We should immediately investigate the situation in all four seas, no! Investigate the situation within the entire navy! Drag all these termites out into the sun and kill them!"

Sakaski was the first to stand up and speak, and his words immediately aroused everyone's agreement. None of their generals dared to say anything about enjoying themselves, but in the end, everyone below started to enjoy themselves.

"What do you think?"

Zhan Guo turned to look at his two old friends, and they both nodded, agreeing with Sakaski's statement.

"Okay, in that case, then everyone listen! Order! Sakaski! Gion! Ekaterina! Ghost Spider! Burn the mountain! Five people lead the team, a total of ten new ships, patrol all the navy's overseas bases and find the termites among them! All violators will be investigated and dealt with according to the law!"

"Yes!" X5.
