One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 700 The Navy’s Response

"Report! Revolutionary troops are appearing in all parts of the world! More than 15 are calling for help from the navy! Vice Admiral Tsuru said the headquarters' phone has been flooded with calls!"

A messenger rushed into Zhan Guo's room and shouted. Zhan Guo, who was about to give the order to attack, now had his hand halfway raised and his mouth open, not knowing what to say.

"I see. No wonder those pirates dare to fight us like this. They are not worried that we will continue to increase our troops and wear them down. It seems that they have already made an agreement with the Revolutionary Army. They are just waiting for our main force to be dragged here. They will take the opportunity to attack us and make us unable to take care of both ends."

Zefa slapped the table. He knew the difficulty now. First of all, the navy could not retreat. Once they retreated, it would be difficult to come here again. This time the four emperors set up their formation and fought them openly. That was because they went to Marijoa to rescue people before and slapped the face of the World Government, so they set up the dragon gate formation here. They would have a real fight with real swords and guns. No matter what the result was, the matter was over.

But once the navy leaves, if they come back to fight again, it will be a fight to the death. At that time, it will not be a small-scale offensive and defensive war to deal with the Four Emperors. The Red Earth Continent may be dozens of meters shorter. In addition, without the Four Emperors' industries, tax revenue will become dwarfed again. What is the reason why the World Government has not really taken action against the Four Emperors? Isn't it just for the tax revenue? It's ridiculous to say that the Four Emperors are looking for trouble for the World Government every day, making it difficult for the World Government to be furious, but the current World Government cannot do without the Four Emperors. Otherwise, the World Government really has no money. The World Government is not a fool. Can't they see the severity of the depreciation of Bailey? How can they not see it? It's useless to see it. They can't stop it.

This is this absurd world. You can't just shout about fighting. War is an extension of politics. If a war is useless, no one will fire the first shot. And now this war is for the World Government to save its own face and make the other member states of the New World Government, who were envious of them because they didn't pay their membership fees last year, behave themselves and stop causing any more trouble.

The purpose of the Four Emperors is naturally very simple. After this battle, one is to give confidence to the allies in the New World, telling them that the Four Emperors do have the ability to confront the World Government and let them not worry. The other point is to cover this matter. After all, the Four Emperors also know that now is not the time to really dispute with the World Government.

Originally, the navy's idea was that no matter what, this battle must crush the arrogance of the Four Emperors and let them know that the navy is not to be trifled with. After all, the incident of the two naval fortresses had always made the navy feel angry. If they could take the opportunity to teach the Four Emperors a lesson, the navy would definitely be happy. This is why when Sengoku and others found that they could not take it down in a short time, they decided to change their original idea and send in more troops.

As a result, now, instead of sending more troops, chaos broke out in their own base camp. This really gave Zhan Guo and others a headache and they didn't know what to do.

"What should we do? Zhan Guo, what do you think?"

Garp looked at Sengoku and said very seriously that it was definitely impossible to go back now, but the situation in the Four Seas must not be ignored. Otherwise, even if they really gained some benefits here, if the Four Seas were in chaos in the end, it would not be worth it.

"Oh, this is really a headache. Please wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Zhan Guo pushed open the door and jumped towards the direction of the ship where the Five Elders were. As soon as he landed, he saw a CP0 walking out of the room.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, I just happened to come to see you. Saint Satan asked you to come over to discuss something."

CP0 still had that arrogant look, but there was also a hint of pride in his arrogance. However, Zhan Guo was not in the mood to care about these things at the moment. He pushed CP0 aside and walked straight in.

"Bang bang bang."

Zhan Guo knocked on the door, and following the voice of Nasu Shouro Sheng, Zhan Guo pushed open the door. At this time, he could see Nasu Shouro Sheng and Satan Sheng sitting there with gloomy faces.

"Now that you are here, Zhan Guo, please take a seat. You don't have to be restrained this time. You should know what's going on. Tell me what you think. Withdrawal is impossible, but Sihai cannot give up. CP0 has other tasks and cannot move." Saint Satan looked at Zhan Guo coming in and pointed to a chair next to him.

"Yes, in my opinion, we should temporarily suspend the offensive. Based on the attacks of the past two days, it is no longer possible to rely solely on numbers. Rather than overwhelming with numbers, we need more concentrated attacks from high-powered personnel. So I suggest withdrawing some of the less powerful ones and letting them go back with some of the personnel left behind at the headquarters to quell the rebellion in the four seas. The rest of us will concentrate all our firepower and directly attack the main positions of the Four Emperors. No matter what the outcome, the battle must be ended as soon as possible."

Zhan Guo had already thought about this on the way here. He no longer expected a great victory in this battle. A narrow victory or even a draw had become acceptable conditions.

"Okay, then in that case, we also take back what we said before about not taking the initiative. This war cannot be delayed. We originally planned to take this opportunity to let your navy train, but now it seems that there is no time. However, Sengoku, you should understand that after this battle, we may have a war of attrition with the Four Emperors for more than ten years. By then, the navy may suffer great losses."

Nasujuro Sei nodded after hearing what Sengoku said. At this stage, this was indeed the best way, unless the other three Five Elders were called out, or the Mixed-Blood Team or the Knights of God were called out, but this was obviously not possible. They could not leave Marijoa now, and the two of them coming out was no longer in line with their original plan. If all five of them came out, then that adult would be abandoned, which was a serious matter that they could not even think about.

"Yes, I understand, but I have another request."

Zhan Guo took this opportunity to speak.

"Just tell me, as long as it's not something too extreme."

Saint Satan said after a moment's silence.

"Yes, I hope that after I go back this time, I can give the navy the right to recruit soldiers within a certain limit and replace them with stronger weapons and equipment. In this war, I found that the pirates had a lot of equipment that we had never heard of. These equipment made us suffer a lot. Just what we have found at this stage are communicators that we don't know how to communicate, various strange firearms, and some soldiers with mechanized bodies. In short, in addition to powerful people, the four emperors have a dazzling variety of weapons and equipment. The grassroots combat power has far exceeded ours. It is obvious that the four emperors have great ambitions. If our navy continues with the current weapons and equipment, it will be directly crushed by the other side. According to the battle loss ratio of the previous two days, it is estimated to be about one to five. Five of us can replace one person on the other side. This loss ratio is too large. Even if our navy has more people than the other side, we can't stand it."

Zhan Guo informed the Five Elder Stars of the speech he had prepared long ago.

"Well, I understand this matter. Indeed, I have also discovered this situation in the past few days. I don't know how these pirates can come up with so many advanced weapons. Don't worry, we will discuss the issue of providing equipment to the navy later. However, we still need to discuss this conscription plan. Anyway, you go ahead and make the arrangements. As for the concentrated attack you mentioned, I think it should be scheduled for three days later."

Saint Satan lowered his head and thought for a while. In fact, he chatted with them through the team voice and said that what Zhan Guo said about the current situation is indeed necessary to make some changes. It just so happens that CP0 should be fine. After getting Vegapunk back, it will not be a problem to get some equipment for the navy to supplement it. However, things like conscription need more discussion. After all, the expansion of the navy has always been a big problem.

"Yes! I understand. I will go and prepare first."

Zhan Guo had not intended to complete all these tasks right away. As long as the Five Elders could complete one task, it would be no problem. As for the others, it would depend on how this battle goes.
