Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 139: Promoted to Major General after 6000 months in the Army! ( chapters, in )

On September 1469, 9 of the Haiyuan calendar, another round of recruitment for the Navy's East China Sea 29 Branch began. The branch still had a staff of 026 people but no one was there to fill the position, so this time Cha Mo gave a strict order that more than 200 people must be recruited, otherwise all the people in charge of recruiting new members would have to clean for a month.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of recruiting new people this time was Liu Mang, who had never done this job before.

Liu Mang, who had just joined the company in the last term, became the de facto second-in-command of the 026 branch in just three months, shocking countless people.

Although the people in the 026 branch had no dissatisfaction and on the contrary recognized his position very much, this could not cover up the fact that he had many shortcomings in terms of work that he had not personally practiced.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity to recruit a new member, Chamo plans to let him experience the work flow and gain some experience.

It is now the end of September, and the last time Lieutenant General Gutaf killed a large sea king was nearly a month ago. During this period, Liu Mang has again recruited 9 younger brothers to gain merit. All of them are masters with bounties of 18 to million or even hundreds of millions. Liu Mang's military rank has been raised again, and he has become a real colonel of the headquarters. His strength exceeds that of a standard lieutenant general by more than one level!
The effect of the large sea king class is really good. After more than 9000 days, Liu Mang's basic strength has increased to 19000 tons, and it is getting faster and faster. In the next month, it may be more than tons.

As his power increased, the strength of his younger brothers who were sharing the same state also skyrocketed, and domineering was also a kind of power that could be shared rather than a skill, which resulted in the younger brothers who appeared later being masters who possessed thousands of tons of power and one tenth of his domineering power. If they were placed in the New World, they would all be true pirates with bounties of at least hundreds of millions!

In the East China Sea, as long as one does not massacre a city or destroy a country or openly launch a large-scale rebellion, the bounty will be a maximum of tens of millions. Even the previously powerful commander of the Seven-Star Pirate Nation, Negan Antenna, only had a bounty of 1.5 million.

Therefore, even if the younger brothers became stronger, they were just so-so in the eyes of the world and the navy. The 18 pirates together only made Liu Mang one level higher.

However, the navy, pirates, and national forces that had been beaten by these minions did not think so. Those terrifying strong men who could smash large sailing ships with one punch were killed 026 times in a row by Colonel Arthur of the 18 branch. It was simply terrifying.

Now the name of Arthur is being praised throughout the East China Sea. Every country, every naval branch and even every pirate force calls him the first navy of the East China Sea and the goalkeeper of justice!
Because of this, the number of new recruits this time was far greater than the last time. Many of them were attracted by Liu Mang and came to Leshi Island to join the army, just to get close to the great Colonel Arthur.

Rather than saying that these people came to join the army, it would be better to say that they came to chase stars. The great Captain Arthur was strong and handsome, and the photo of the righteous handsome guy in the newspaper was far more attractive than the slogan of justice. In addition, everyone knew that he was only 17 years old and had achieved such success at such a young age. Wouldn’t he soar to success in the future?
Regardless of whether they were men or women, whether they were attracted by his body or his achievements, they all flocked to him. Even though the requirements had been raised, this year's recruitment still attracted 300 new recruits, which was as many as the entire year's recruitment!
According to the Navy's recruitment rules, whoever recruits will be the instructor until the three-month training period is over and then the assignment will be made. Therefore, he will be the chief instructor for these 300 people for the next three months.

It doesn't matter. He is in charge of more than 3,000 people in the entire base, so 300 more people is nothing. It's just that these new colleagues are very bold. Many female soldiers even dare to pull his pectoral muscles when he passes by, and they will do so even if they are punished. It's simply too much.

What's even more outrageous is that it was okay for him to just pull the women, but he also pulled the men together. It took him a long time to resist the urge to beat up the new recruits, but from then on he never came off the stage to give instructions on the moves. He just stood on the stage, with his Observation Haki activated, observing the whole audience.

This can not only exercise your observation Haki, but also prevent you from being molested by perverts. It is really a good idea.

This batch of recruits are so lucky, they have physical strengthening techniques to practice right after they enter the gate, and then there are classes on the Six Styles, swordsmanship and domineering. As long as they have good talent, the secrets of becoming a candidate for admiral are all here. The conditions in the elite training camp built by the headquarters more than ten years later are not as good as here, because only here can a regular supply of sea king meat be provided!

It has been almost two months since the 026th branch began spreading the art of strengthening the body and nourishing the sea kings, and the change in strength can truly be said to be earth-shaking.

When Liu Mang first arrived, there were only a few majors in the entire base with a strength of more than 10 tons among the more than people. Even fewer people knew any of the six styles. The vast majority of soldiers and officers were just cannon fodder who were slightly stronger than ordinary people and could not even reach a strength of one ton.

But more than two months have passed, under the unremitting guidance of Liu Mang, the selfless dedication of the Sea Kings, the accelerated effect of the body-building technique, and the unimaginable human potential and silent shared breaking of limits in the world of pirates, now, except for the civilian navy who basically do not take action, there is no one with a strength of less than 100 tons!
It was not until then that Liu Mang discovered the true power of the sharer's talent. Anyone with whom he had shared power would have their limits broken and their upper limit raised.

For example, a person who cannot break through 10 tons no matter how much he practices strength, once Liu Mang shares 1000 tons of strength, his 10-ton limit will be broken, and the upper limit will jump to 1000 tons.

If another 10000 tons is shared next time, the limit will become 10000 tons, greatly reducing the difficulty of practice for everyone!

He had thought about it more than once about the basis for the system to evaluate talent levels, but to no avail. The white qualified talent of the Sharer was incomparably powerful, far stronger than the green talent "equipment bar" he had once possessed. Was it this talent that was special, or were all white talents special?

Unfortunately, he couldn't open the system store to buy a similar white talent to try it out. The store could only be opened in the main world, so he couldn't do anything about it.

When I asked the system, it didn't say anything. It always rejected me on the grounds that it didn't want to embarrass an incompetent system like me. I don't know whether it is really incompetent or just doesn't want to say.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. You will figure it out naturally after you finish this world and go back. I don't know if there are similar talents for sale in the store.

The limit of strength can be improved, and so can the level of domineering cultivation. Those who have shared his domineering can immediately understand the mystery of domineering. After canceling the sharing, they can practice their own domineering more quickly and obtain a basic 30-fold increase in attack and defense, which is a terrifying improvement in strength.

In terms of domineering power, he has not shared it with anyone except his younger brother and Cha Mo. It's not that he is stingy, but it is not necessarily a good thing to possess domineering power with a hundred tons of strength.

The use of Haki consumes a lot of physical strength. A person with a strength of 100 tons has dozens of times less physical strength than a person with a strength of 500 tons. The Haki will be exhausted in less than a second, and then you will be at the mercy of others. It is better to use the Six Styles to fight the enemy honestly, and maybe you can live longer.

The tea residue itself has a power of more than 1000 tons, which has reached the standard for using domineering power in actual combat. The ignorant and laughing beauty was tortured by the domineering power theory. She did not awaken any domineering power for a month, so she turned to Liu Mang for help.

There was nothing to say. This was the teammate that Liu Mang liked, so he shared him with him.

With the help of both domineering power and the power of domineering, she mastered the secret of domineering in an instant. Less than a minute after canceling the sharing, she awakened her own two-color domineering, and her strength increased dozens of times!
"Woo!" Cha Mo was extremely excited. He covered his hands with domineering aura and punched Liu Mang in the chest.

Ouch!
A dark palm caught the slow punch, and a strong wind blew the office decorations everywhere.

“Hey hey hey! Stop being weird, it’s going to be a disaster for the office!” Liu Mang pushed away Cha Mo’s right hand and directly launched a flying cross lock!

Cha Mo's neck was stuck by Liu Mang's legs and she couldn't breathe. Her face turned red and she kept slapping Liu Mang's legs to show her surrender. Only then did Liu Mang let her go.

This is my office. It's the territory of my brother and I that Lu Jiu spent a lot of time and effort to set up bit by bit. How can I let you do whatever you want?
“Cough, cough, cough!” Cha Mo coughed and stood up, rubbing his neck with his hands, obviously in great pain. “You’re going to die, Arthur! How dare you hit your boss in front of him? Believe it or not, I’ll make things difficult for you!”

"Humph!" Liu Mang looked at me with disdain, unmoved, "You are slandering me! It was obviously you who started it first, I was just fighting back in self-defense, everyone can testify to that!"

Adjutant Xilin of Chamo and Adjutant Pik Yosis of Liumang kept shaking their heads to say that they saw nothing and could not testify, while the mascot Lu Jiu cheered and said that she could testify that it was the bad woman who attacked the brother first.

Da Huang was shaking his head and no one knew what he was doing. It was obvious that his mind was not on the people playing around.

"Damn little brat!" Cha Mo was so angry that she wanted to pull down Lu Jiu's pants and spank her hard. She was so young and only knew how to help her relatives and not others. She would definitely not be a good person when she grows up, just like her brother Arthur!
Cha Mo grabbed Lu Jiu and held her in his arms to play with her. He asked Liu Mang unhappily, "Arthur, you are so good at hiding it. You have such ability but you didn't show it earlier. Don't you take me, your boss, seriously?"

Liu Mang laughed, "Look at what you said, when have I ever taken you seriously?"

Cha Moyu choked, feeling helpless and furious, and rubbed Xiao Lujiu's pink little face hard, as if he wanted to vent the grievances he had suffered from Liu Mang on his sister.

"Oh, Guoguo!" Lu Jiu stretched out her hands to Liu Mang for help, but was kicked out of the office together with Cha Mo by Liu Mang. She had successfully avenged the last time she went out to sea. Nice!

Sitting on the office chair, Liu Mang clasped his hands together to support his chin, posed in the classic "Commander Ikari" pose, and issued an order in a deep voice: "Pike, this time you take Da Huang out to sea to hunt sea kings, and ask Vice Admiral Gutaf to join you. This time the target is still large sea kings!"

A sailing order was thrown out, and Pique caught it and saluted, saying that he would complete the mission. He turned around, picked up Dahuang and left.

Dahuang has been an engine for so long that he has long been accustomed to this job. He no longer needs orders from his two masters to be obedient. As long as he is taken to the power room and fed a few bones, he can output power on his own.

However, it will work as much as it is fed, unlike Liu Mang and Lu Jiu who can output at a loss for three days and three nights without sleep at a command.

"Xilin!" Liu Mang shouted to Cha Mo's adjutant with glasses.

"Ah! I'm here, Colonel Arthur." The girl with glasses was still weak, who would have thought that she was a swordsman with a force of a thousand tons. "Rent a large shipyard from the Kingdom of Kunsa and purchase the materials on this list. Three days later, I will lead 026 people from Branch 2000 to the Kingdom of Kunsa to build a batch of new ironclad warships as the card for our Branch 026 to roam the sea in the future. This is billion Baileys, do it immediately!"

"Yes!" Xilin was surprised, but still expressed his acceptance.

Liu Mang had no pressure in giving orders to his superior's adjutant, and Xierlin also felt that there was no problem. It was because the actual leader of the 026 branch had changed. Regardless of strength or influence, Liu Mang occupied a dominant position. The old man had practiced his skills in attracting people for more than a hundred years, and now he had even reached the level of turning enemies into friends. It was not difficult for him to gain the support of his own people.

Cha Mo didn't care about it. She had no interest in power. Liu Mang managed the branch very well, and she was far inferior to him. She was willing to give up her position to him.

But is building a ship so easy? Don’t overturn it!
Cha Mo, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but come in again and expressed his doubts on the spot, "Hey, Arthur, can you do it? That's building a battleship, not boxing!"

"Nonsense! I built the Yalu myself, why can't it be okay?" Liu Mang looked at him with disdain. Do you think I'm as big-breasted and brainless as you? My shipbuilding technology was praised by Hanxia Country. What level are you, Chamo? How dare you question the Grandmaster?
"Ah?" Chamo and Xi'erlin were both stunned. That super battleship that is rarely seen in the world was actually built by you?
The two girls looked at each other and both felt that they had lived a wasted life for more than twenty years. It was bad enough that they couldn't beat him, but they couldn't even match him in cultural level. Is he a monster?
Lu Jiu took the opportunity to break away from Cha Mo's arms and threw herself into Liu Mang's arms, sobbing and then saying that she would take care of the name of the ship this time.

Liu Mang resolutely rejected her. How could a little brat who had never read a book want to snatch the naming rights from him, a cultured man? This time, he would not agree no matter what.

He had already thought about it and decided to use a large battleship over 026 meters long as the flagship, one that could carry the entire branch.

Then we will develop four levels of warships from large to small, namely 200-meter class, 100-meter class, 70-meter class, and 30-meter class.

There is no way to use missiles. He has the technology, but there is no production line in the pirate world, so he can only use various naval guns and cannons.

The power system is simple, a hybrid of human and steam power. It uses steam power to run slowly in normal times, and uses human super power to output high power in wartime. It can run hundreds of kilometers per hour without any problem.

In the world of pirates, human power is a super power with higher output than nuclear power, and it is extremely common. It would be a pity if it was not used as a power.

The 026 branch now has an average strength of 100 tons per person. When the ship is built, it will probably be 1000 tons per person. By then, we can just randomly assign a dozen people to the engine room, which will be no worse than Dahuang.

Dahuang does not have a higher consciousness and cannot master Haki. Although the 50-fold power enhancement after transformation is long-lasting, it will eventually be surpassed by the increasingly powerful Haki. In the increasingly entangled 026 branch, he may not even be able to serve as an engine in the future and can only become a mascot like Lu Jiu.

The next day, the troops that hunted sea kings returned. Lieutenant General Gutaf looked tired and his hard work was visibly evident.

When he got outside the harbor, Liu Mang realized why it took so long.

A huge sea king floats on the sea. The part that is exposed above the sea alone is more than one-tenth the length of Leshi Island. The underwater part is longer than the surface part, and the length of Leshi Island is 10 kilometers!

Wow, Pique is even more ruthless than him. He found a guy that is close to the large limit for our Lieutenant General Gutaf. It is at least 2500 meters long, and the large limit is only 3000 meters!

Gutaf actually killed such a giant beast. His strength is probably close to that of a general, at least a vice-admiral.

Pike came to report, saying that this time it was really thrilling. If he hadn't operated the artillery and fired thousands of shells to support, this battle would have taken five or six days. Even so, they still fought for a whole day before they finally captured this sea king. In the end, Gutaf couldn't even use his domineering power.

I just don't know why this sea king doesn't run away and has to stay and fight to the death.

Liu Mang smiled but said nothing about this question. The magical uses of Observation Haki are not limited to detecting information. As long as Gutaf doesn't want it to run away, the Sea King will not be able to run away after the two sides meet. This is an ability similar to "Observation Kill", which can deceive vision, hearing and smell. Only taste and touch cannot be deceived by Observation Haki. It is a high-end application of Observation Haki.

There are many high-end applications of Observation Haki, such as extending range, speaking, detecting thoughts, predicting the future, seeing and killing, listening to the sounds of all things, etc. Gutafu's ability is also a high-end application of Observation Haki, but no one knows what it is called. During this period of time, Liu Mang suffered a lot from this ability when practicing with him.

Dividing the sea kings was extremely tiring, but the joy of a good harvest filled the hearts of the navy.

This unprecedented sea king must be more effective than the previous one. Under the extraordinary guidance of Colonel Arthur, we will be able to greatly improve our strength and surpass the Navy Headquarters!
But they were too early to be happy, because two thousand men would be transferred to Kunsa Shipyard. According to Liu Mang's idea, training could not be interrupted, so the navy would have to work overtime at night to build the ship. It would be enough to shorten the sleeping time to two hours a day, and he would also work together. Presumably, everyone's strength would grow faster.

Life as 007 soon arrived. Hilaryn was indeed a long-time civilian. She had been in the army since she was 12 years old and had been doing civilian work for 14 years. She had risen to the position of major in the headquarters of the Navy simply by doing civilian work. Garp, who had also been in the army for more than ten years, was only a captain in the headquarters. This showed her civilian ability.

Originally, she was given 10 billion Beli to purchase materials, but she used her warm words to bargain down a cold price and bought all the materials for 5 million. Kunsa didn't make a penny but was still grateful to her. Liu Mang was ashamed of himself for her ability.

Shipbuilding is a boring and tiring job. After the novelty of the first day wore off, the sailors were exhausted and wanted to die the rest of the time.

But Liu Mang naturally couldn't just watch them die, so he brought Cha Mo along and made them laugh every day, ensuring that everyone was full of motivation and passion.

Now that they were here, Liu Mang naturally pulled Cha Mo, the precious labor force, to build the ship together. A leader who only watched but did not do anything was not acceptable. Liu Mang could not bear to see this. No matter how big her breasts were, she still had to work.

Cha Mo cursed loudly, "You are really going further and further away from being a human being. I came here with good intentions to help boost your morale, but you dare to exploit my labor. I'm going on strike to show you!"
However, poor Cha Mo had already fallen into Liu Mang's control. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape her fate of becoming a worker and a commoner.

Xilin was very grateful in Branch 026. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise he would have been left behind as a worker. He would definitely not go to Kunsa before the ship was built. He was quite happy sitting in the office.

Lieutenant General Gutaf was fearless and did nothing but wander around all day. He would come to the shipyard from time to time to comment on things, which made Liu Mang want to keep him to work as well.

But Gutafu was too strong. He knocked Liu Mang to the ground with one punch, and the man couldn't get up for a long time. Then he walked away, and naturally there was no further news about asking him to work.

It took three full months, until the new batch of recruits graduated, and the shipbuilding work was nearing completion.

The ship being built this time was not a private property, so naturally the money was paid for by the navy. Once the design drawings and parameters of the fifth-level battleship were placed in front of Marshal Follen, the shipbuilding was no longer the business of the 026 branch alone.

During this period, there were no great scientists to improve technology, and the navy's warships were no longer sufficient to suppress the sea. The ironclad warships provided by Liu Mang were even superior to the warships of later generations, and the existing technology was sufficient to manufacture them, which naturally made the navy think of replacing their equipment.

This is an effective way to enhance the overall strength and majesty of the navy. The method used by the 026 branch to enhance its strength is not replicable and it relies entirely on Liu Mang's personal ability.

But shipbuilding is different. As long as the technology is available, anyone can build one. It can truly benefit the vast naval community, and there is a need to promote replacement.

This batch of warships will be escorted back to the headquarters by Lieutenant General Gutaf after the mission is completed, and handed over to the headquarters for testing. If the performance is strong enough, large-scale production and replacement will be carried out.

At the Kunsa Port, a series of more than a dozen warships were ready to set sail. Gutaf stood on the shore facing Liu Mang and Cha Mo, saying an unspeakable farewell.

"Hahahaha! Boy Arthur, little girl Cha Mo, don't be reluctant to leave. I'm just returning to the headquarters after completing the mission. With your abilities, I think you will have to report to the headquarters in less than two years. When we meet again, maybe we will be on the same level. Then you have to treat me to a meal! Hahahaha!" Gutafu soared into the sky heroically, but Liu Mang and Cha Mo did not feel any better.

Damn it, such good free labor is gone just like that. It will be difficult to fight large sea kings in the future. The strength improvement of the branch soldiers will be slowed down by a lot. It’s so painful!
But they had to obey the transfer order from their headquarters. Liu Mang and Cha Mo could only bid farewell to Gutafu with tears in their eyes, and strongly invited him to come and visit when he was free.

But they all knew that if there was no mission, Gutaf would not come again. His hometown was in the South China Sea, and his headquarters was very far away from here. His vacation was not even enough for a round trip, so coming here to play was simply crazy.

Two months later, the test of the new warship was passed, and Liu Mang was promoted to the rank of major general for his merits. Because his branch had served for less than two years, he still stayed in the 026 branch. However, he truly became the highest commander of the 026 branch, both in reality and in name.
