Pirates: Improving your strength depends entirely on watching the fun!

Apart from the gang fight a while ago, which involved 16 branches of the navy, there doesn't seem to be any major problem.

However, Xia Zheteng knew that the more this happened, the bigger the problem would be.

I don't know what's going on with Jiyuan and Kake.

"Knock knock" there was a knock on the door.

This office was occupied by Xia Zheteng himself, and no one else dared to disturb it. The only one who dared to knock on the door at this time was Kaji.

It looks like he has finished his work.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and standing outside, in addition to Jiyuan and Kake, there were actually four naval lieutenants.

When he saw these four lieutenants, panic flashed in Grata's eyes.

His eyes moved rapidly as he thought about how to deal with the situation.

Xia Zheteng, who had been staring at Grata, curled his lips. Sure enough, these guys were up to something.

"Traitor!" Grata quickly winked at several seated officers and then shouted loudly.

Those officers also stood up suddenly, their hands already touching their swords.

But before they could make a move, they felt a powerful pressure.

This pressure came from Xia Zheteng who was sitting in the main seat.

Although the domineering aura could not directly eliminate the officers in front of him, that kind of momentum clearly told them that the brigadier general was angry, and if they dared to move again, their lives would be in danger.

"Governor, they fled the battlefield during the last battle with the gang. They are deserters." Grata said, suppressing the fear in his heart.

Xia Zheteng smiled, but this smile made everyone, led by Grata, feel a chill in their hearts and an ominous premonition.

"I know, so I sent someone to capture them."

"Is that so? Haha, then Governor, can you please hand them over to me? After all, they are soldiers who escaped from my hands, and I will punish them personally." Grata forced a smile, and his voice trembled.

Xia Zheteng shook his head: "A new official has three things to do when he takes office. This fire should be started by me."

As he spoke, Xia Zheteng stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he looked at the four lieutenants who were still bandaged, and smiled slightly.

"I think you four will explain to me why you became deserters, right?"

The leader of the four was a man in captain's uniform. He saluted and said, "Yes, Governor."

"Very good, then let's go to the other office to talk, Jiyuan, Jiaji."

"Yes." The two responded immediately.

"You are to guard this office yourself. No one is allowed to enter or leave the office. Even Marshal Kong is here. You must hold your pee or poop. If you can't hold it, poop in your pants until I come back. Remember, before I come back, the only people who can walk out of this room are the dead!"

The cold words, the grim expression, and the domineering pressure, these words scared everyone in the room so much that their legs trembled, and some of them couldn't even stand up.

Seeing that no one spoke in the house, Xia Zheteng left with four lieutenants. Then, Ji Yuan and Jiaji entered the house and stood at the door. No one could leave here under their noses.

The strength of the branch was uneven to begin with, and even if Grata and his officers all rose up, they would not be their match.

Grata could naturally feel it, and at this moment he had only one thought in his mind: it's over.

In another office, Xia Zheteng listened to the reports of four lieutenants, which was different.

After Grata became the highest commander here, he did not lead troops to eliminate the gangs, but instead demanded bribes from the five major gangs.

The Navy will help whoever pays.

The five major gangs also took advantage of this opportunity, constantly giving gifts, and then with the help of the navy, they wanted to expand their territory.

As the fight went on, the five major gangs suddenly realized something was wrong.

They fought for a long time, many people died, and a lot of money was spent, but in the end, the territory remained the same.

Today you attack my territory, tomorrow I attack your territory, and the territory changes hands repeatedly.

Maybe the five major gangs also sensed something was wrong and somehow contacted each other internally. Then, just over ten days ago, two gangs found Grata.

They sent a large sum of money, saying that the other three companies were joining forces to destroy them, and hoped that the navy could provide support. This was a defensive battle, not a battle to seize territory.

Grata agreed.

If it is a fair fight, the navy is not afraid. They have the equipment, the morale, the training is hard, and they are led by the colonel. If the number of people is equal, they will not lose.

However, as soon as the battle started, the two protected gangs turned against them, and it became a five-gang war against the navy.

The navy suffered heavy losses. If the personnel left behind in the base had not discovered the problem and led the remaining personnel to rescue, the entire branch would probably have been wiped out.

"Who was the one who led the rescue?"

"It's me." said the captain who was making the report.

Xia Zheteng smiled, looked at the lieutenant with a resolute face, and nodded.

"Yes, but why are you defined as a deserter?"

"This one……"

"Say it directly."

"Because I advocate reporting truthfully to the higher-ups, but in reality..."

Xia Zheteng stepped forward, patted the captain on the shoulder, and said, "Very good, go down and rest."

"Yes." Several lieutenants left.

Xia Zheteng laughed and went towards the office.

"Jiyuan, notify everyone to gather at the training ground. As long as they are not seriously injured, bring them to the training ground."

"Yes." Ji Yuan turned and left.

Grata looked at Xia Zheteng and asked with a charming smile: "I wonder how the Governor will deal with these deserters?"

"There's no rush, Colonel Grata. I want to borrow something from you."

"Whatever it is, Governor, just ask. I will definitely lend it to you if you have it."

"I'll borrow your head for use."

Grata was startled and was about to speak when Xia Zheteng came in front of him and punched him hard in the stomach with his fist of armed color domineering.

Grata spat out a mouthful of blood, then a sword flashed before his eyes and his head fell to the ground.

Generally, the strength of a colonel in a branch is actually three levels lower than that at the headquarters. A colonel, if he arrives at the headquarters, has the strength of a captain.

The West Sea side was a little stronger, but only a little. If Grata was at the headquarters, he would be a major at most, so he had no ability to fight back and was beheaded in an instant.

Holding Grata's head, Xia Zheteng glanced coldly at the other officers present.

Those officers immediately knelt on the ground, completely frightened. They had never seen such a murderer who would kill people over a disagreement. Compared to the gangsters here, the governor in front of them was the real ruthless man.

Chapter 11: Gion and Kake's Mission

The 16th branch of the West Sea Navy, training ground.

There are more than 600 navy soldiers here, but only more than 400 of them can arrive now, and even then, nearly half of them are injured.

This shows how brutal the previous battle with the gangs was.

At this moment, the training ground was silent, and everyone was looking at the young, handsome figure who still carried endless murderous aura.

The head in his hand was still dripping with blood.

That was Grata's head. All the soldiers knew that he was the former highest commander of this branch.

Coming to the high platform and looking down, Ji Yuan at the front shouted a salute, and all the soldiers moved in unison.

Xia Zheteng returned the greeting and then said, "I don't want to say too much. As the governor of the West Sea District, it is my duty to punish the scum in the navy. From today on, the new 16th branch of the West Sea Navy is born. From now on, this will become the front line of our battle with the gangs."

The naval soldiers below were all confused at first. Although a new leader had arrived, who knew whether the previous situation would continue? In the end, it was still the ordinary soldiers like them who got hurt.

However, after listening to Xia Zheteng's words, they seemed to have new hope. This brigadier general from the headquarters was different from the previous Colonel Grata.

At this time, Kake also brought those officers over. The order he had just received was to take these people and collect all the bribe money they received.

Part of it has been spent, but most of the money was still found.

After taking a rough look at the amount of money, Xia Zheteng shouted to the people below: "The pensions for the dead soldiers will be doubled. For the soldiers injured in the last incident, bonuses will be doubled based on their meritorious service in combat."

Roar, cheers of soldiers came from below.

……

Office of the Governor.

Xia Zheteng sat in the first seat with his feet on the desk, looking very leisurely and relaxed.

Except for Jiyuan and Kake who were sitting in the front, the rest of the officers were standing there trembling with fear.

They were very scared. The image of the governor who had just held a human head in one hand and preached was deeply imprinted in their minds.

Now, even if the other party was in a very relaxed state, they dared not be disrespectful in any way.

"The main culprit has been executed. I will forgive you for what happened in the past. But if you dare to commit crimes again in the future, I will settle the accounts with you all."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Go down and do your job."

"Yes!"

The other branch officers saluted, then left obediently and returned to their posts.

After they left, the guard at the door closed the door, and only three people were left in the room.

"You've caused quite a big trouble this time. You killed the former commander of the branch without authorization. I'm afraid that the headquarters..." Ji Yuan looked at Xia Zheteng with some concern.

Xia Zheteng smiled and said with certainty: "You want me to clean up the mess, but you don't give me any autonomy. This is unreasonable. If this is really the case, let them clean up the mess themselves."

Jiaji agreed with Xia Zheteng's approach and said, "That's right, and it has immediately subdued this branch. The next step is to deal with those gangsters."

Ji Yuan didn't say much about this matter in the end. The reminder had already been given, and she also believed that the headquarters would make its own judgment.

I have to say that Xia Zheteng's move was indeed brilliant. Now there is no dissenting voice in the entire branch.

"Having said that, the casualties in our branch are indeed too severe. Facing the five major gangs, I am afraid we are temporarily unable to eliminate them."

Xia Zheteng nodded. That was for sure. The five major gangs were quite powerful. However, he had already thought of a solution.

Sometimes, things don't have to be done forcefully, and it won't be fun that way.

"Jiyuan, Jiaji, now comes your mission."

"Another mission? Big brother, please let me go." Kaji started to act like a spoiled child.

"Do it overnight and notify the bosses of the five major gangs. Tell them that I will be at the 16th Navy Branch tomorrow at noon and invite them to dinner. Tell them not to be ungrateful."

Jiyuan and Kaji were stunned. Brother, I always feel that you are using the knife to kill someone, using the knife of the gangster to kill the two of us.

"I believe that with your two strengths, they won't be able to catch you. Just notify them."

Ji Yuan and Jia Ji looked at each other, neither of them could understand what Xia Zheteng was up to, but they were willing to believe Xia Zheteng.

……

The sun sets and night falls.

Most people were resting, but in some places the lights were on and there were sounds of laughter and joy.

The gangsters obviously did not stop eating big chunks of meat and drinking big gulps of wine.

In a tavern in the town of Malaga, the leader of the Flaming Chariots gang, Ranji Baia, is leading his team in a party.

Logically speaking, with so many of them here, no one would come to disturb them.

But today was different. The door of the tavern opened and a beautiful woman appeared before them.

For a moment, the whole tavern was in an uproar.

Whistles were heard everywhere.

"Hey, where did this beauty come from? She's pretty cool."

"Beautiful lady, come sit over here and have a drink with us."

A big man who was already a little drunk stood up, walked towards Ji Yuan, and reached out to touch Ji Yuan's face.
