Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 304 The Navy Wants to Start a School?

Crane lay back in the armchair, lost in thought as he recalled the situation within the navy.

Her rank was much higher than that of the clerks, so her understanding of the situation was naturally much deeper than what the clerks talked about.

The more she knew, the more she understood that the problem Hina mentioned actually existed!

Not only does it exist, but the reality is far more serious than Hina mentioned.

Female naval personnel not only face obstacles in their career advancement, but also encounter numerous difficulties in their work.

For example, a common issue that most female naval officers are ashamed to discuss is workplace sexual harassment.

This kind of harassment not only exists between superiors and subordinates, but can also occur between subordinates and superiors.

Especially at the branch base, the branch leaders there are like local emperors. They have money, power, and influence, and they also have the power to recommend personnel to higher authorities.

If a woman joins this branch base at this time, can she avoid harassment from the branch officer?

Unless she's a naturally resilient person like an older woman, she basically can't escape it.

Because every aspect of your life, including where you live and what you do, is arranged by the branch chief. It's no big deal for him to manipulate a subordinate.

Female soldiers who want to go further in the navy have no choice but to obey the branch officer, because the branch officer also has the power of personnel. If you want to go to headquarters for further studies, if you want to achieve greater success, how can you do it without sleeping with him?

But then another problem arises: if you sleep with someone, won't the branch chief have something on you?

Okay, so you're the kind of person who'll do anything to climb up the ladder. Doesn't the base commander see that? Isn't he afraid that you'll get to headquarters and then take revenge on her?

If he's afraid of your retaliation, then he's even less likely to recommend you for a promotion.

These circumstances are still good; at least I can continue serving in the Navy.

Another terrible situation is that you get pregnant while you're sleeping!

These days, abortion technology certainly exists, but it's not widely available!

If abortion is not an option, then pregnancy is the only choice. But how can one serve in the Navy while pregnant? Become a Navy wife!

For this reason, there are very few female admirals in the Navy who come from the Shikai Branch. The well-known female naval officers in the Navy Headquarters are all trained by the Headquarters itself, and most of them have connections in higher positions.

For example, in Gion, cranes protect the peacock, who is the granddaughter of a crane, and the skylark is the daughter of an akainu (a mythical dog).

"The issue of fewer female officers isn't actually that complicated!" After thinking for a moment, Tsuru said softly, "The navy is, after all, a branch of the military that relies heavily on combat power. Those with strength will naturally stand out. It's just that because we women are naturally weaker, it's difficult for truly strong individuals to emerge!"

You're like Momousagi. The reason she couldn't become an admiral wasn't because anyone suppressed her; it was purely because she wasn't strong enough.

"Then why do married navy personnel have to retire?" Hina asked again.

"This has nothing to do with the Navy!" Tsuru shrugged. "It's not just married female Navy personnel who retire; Army soldiers, merchants, waitresses, and even some female pirates—once they have children, don't they also have to go home? After all, children need someone to take care of them!"

Hina frowned. It seemed that was indeed the case!

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

If both the man and woman work outside the home, who will take care of the child after they are born?

Someone has to resign!

Moreover, once you resign, it can be for many years because there's nowhere in society to take care of your children. If you don't take care of them, they're likely to go astray.

"Huh?" Hina thought of a place that could be used to manage children: a school!

"Why don't we build schools to manage the children?" Hina asked excitedly. "That way, adults only need to take care of the children for two or three years, and then they can go back to work, right?"

"Building a school is a good idea!" He nodded. "But who will build it?"

"Huh?" Hina was taken aback. "Can't our navy build one?"

"Of course we can build it!" He nodded. "But have you considered how much it costs to maintain a school?"

"Naval Headquarters shouldn't be short of money, and students can pay tuition!" Hina laughed. "We only need to contribute money to build the school, and then the students will need to pay tuition every year. In the long run, not only will we not need to spend money, but we might even make money!"

"Huh?" Crane was taken aback and fell into deep thought.

That seems to be the case?

Building a school requires money, but there are still quite a few vacant buildings at the Naval Headquarters. It would be very easy to clear out some of them and set up a school.

Teachers and the like were drawn from the clerical staff.

The families of military personnel at the Navy Headquarters alone could raise five or six thousand children. If each child paid 1 Berries a year, wouldn't that amount to 6000 million Berries annually?

These kids learn from the navy from a young age, so they're natural-born navy talents!

If we add some content about naval operations and training to the curriculum, these kids could become naval generals in reserve when they grow up!

In addition, running a school has another advantage: it frees up some family members who stay at home to take care of the children.

It's important to know that most of the family members of naval personnel are also retired naval officers.

Once they are freed, wouldn't they be able to return to the navy?

These people have served in the navy for many years, their training costs are extremely low, and their combat capabilities are readily available!

With their return, wouldn't the navy's strength increase significantly?

"Your question is very worthwhile to study!" Tsuru nodded emphatically. "Let's have our organization hold a meeting to discuss it. Who knows, after a while, the Navy might actually be able to establish a school!"

At this point, Tsuru suddenly remembered something, then looked up at Hina curiously: "By the way, why are you suddenly concerned about retiring female naval personnel? Could it be..."

Hina's face suddenly flushed red: "No, no, I was just asking!"

Crane's lips curled into a maternal smile. "Do you look like you're not here?"

"Who is that person?" Tsuru asked. "Is he someone from within the Navy?"

"I already said no, so stop asking!" Hina quickly waved her hand.

Crane seemed thoughtful: "No, that's normal. If you could really fall for someone within the Navy, you would have been in a relationship by now! Your previous mission was to go to Alabasta to investigate the salt crystals. Did you see Ning Yuan?"

Hina quickly said, "I saw it! That salt crystal was just a piece of sea stone that had somehow broken in the sea!"

"So it's Ning Yuan?" He asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this child that makes our navy's most beautiful girl so infatuated with him?"

Hina quickly shook her head: "Lieutenant General, I already said it wasn't him!"

With that, Hina turned to leave.

"Sigh!" Crane sighed, "I was originally thinking of helping you two get together, but since you don't like it, then forget it!"

Hina's body froze on the spot.

"This child has excellent writing skills and a keen eye for detail. Actually, I initially considered observing him further before recruiting him!" Crane sighed. "Unfortunately, he met a princess and his career took off!"

Hina's expression turned somewhat grim.

She simply turned around and sat back down, but her face was still stiff.

"Is it really him?" Tsuru had only been guessing and testing the waters before, but now she realized that Hina seemed to have really fallen for Ning Yuan!

But why?

"You and him, you must not have known each other for very long! Does this child have such great charm?" He asked, somewhat surprised.

"This!" Hina scratched her head. Since Tsuru had already figured it out, she was too lazy to hide it anymore: "Actually, it's nothing special. Although Ning Yuan is very handsome, the reason I like him is because of his intelligence!"

"Look, there are so many people in the Navy who oppose the Seven Warlords system, but the system has continued for more than ten years. Until Ning Yuan took action, two of them were removed in just a few days. Isn't that normal?!"

He nodded, saying that Ning Yuan's wisdom was indeed remarkable.

"And another thing!" Hina looked up at the ceiling, puzzled. "You wouldn't believe it, but Ning Yuan is actually quite weak; I could take him down with one hand! But for Vivi, for Alabasta, he risked his life to dive into the sea to find Seastone, and even risked his life to assassinate Crocodile!"

"Isn't someone like that very courageous?"

He nodded. Drawing a gun on the weak is nothing, but drawing a gun on the strong takes true courage!

Not to mention that Ning Yuan did it for his beloved and for the people of his country.

With such a character design, coupled with his handsome appearance and intelligent mind, it's not surprising that Hina would be attracted to him.

Tsuru laughed, "I thought you, Hina, liked the type who was stronger than you! I didn't expect you to like this kind!"

"There are plenty of people better than me, do you expect me to like them all?" Hina shook her head.

If something is too abundant, it will naturally not be cherished.

On the contrary, people like Ning Yuan, who are pitiful yet full of wisdom and courage, are rare species in this world!
