Pirates: I’m afraid the world isn’t violent enough!

Therefore, it is rare for a man like Sakaski, who is usually very decisive, to be unable to make a judgment on a bunch of things like Ortorun.

On the one hand, he felt that this was wrong and might lead to catastrophe, but on the other hand, he watched helplessly as the navy continued to gain actual benefits, its strength grew, and the New World was constantly being suppressed by Altoron. The originally rampant navy The thieves' forces cannot hold their head high in front of Altorun now.

It’s just... I feel very complicated, very hesitant, and very entangled!

At this time, after he intuitively felt the momentum of the group of naval generals under Ortorun, it became even more difficult to make a decision.

In fact, the balance in his heart was already tilting towards Altorun.

As the last naval admiral walked into the conference room and took his seat, Oltorun knocked on the table and said: "Everyone is here, let's get down to business. The thing to be discussed this time is how to start the confrontation. The cancer in the new world, the annihilation operation of the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Ortorun's voice also pulled Sakaski out of his previous thoughts.

"Anyway, the top priority is to solve the problem of Whitebeard first. As for Ortorun...sigh...we'll think about it later." Sakaski sighed softly in his heart, sat up straight, and prepared to listen. Information and intelligence from Oltorun and his friends.

Chapter 344 Sakaski: What? You have elite navy! ?

As soon as Oltorun finished speaking, the entire conference room darkened.

Then I saw some pictures and text projected on the curtain placed directly in front of the conference table.

There are many pictures of ferocious-looking pirates on it, as well as their brief introductions.

Tina stood next to the curtain, holding an explanation stick in her hand, and introduced: "Now, according to various intelligence investigations, the Whitebeard Pirates have sixteen captains, and they are each one. The Phoenix Marco of the second division, the Peach Blossom Samurai Kozuki Oden of the second division, the third division's..."

Tina is here introducing the members of the Whitebeard Pirates one by one. Although everyone is basically familiar with this information, they are all listening and watching carefully at this time.

"The sixteen captains have a total of 12,600 combatants under their command. This intelligence figure is as of two months ago." Tina stopped talking here.

In the conference room, several naval admirals were whispering to each other and discussing something with each other.

"The number of troops is unexpectedly small..."

"This belongs to our regiment. I have the impression that there are many independent captains under Whitebeard. Many of them are captains who followed him at the beginning..."

"That's true, but even if you add those people, it won't exceed 50,000 troops, right?"

"After all, the advantage is ours?"

After giving the information for a few minutes, Tina continued: "What I just said is the basic information about Whitebeard's group. Apart from this group, now, according to the latest information, there are thirty people under Whitebeard's group. There are two independent captains, namely the ice witch Huidibei, the vortex spider Scuyard, and the wandering knight Doma..."

After introducing the thirty-two independent captains of the Whitebeard Pirates one after another, Hou Tina concluded: "The total strength of these people cannot be investigated clearly like the Whitebeard Pirates' main group, but roughly It is estimated that there are about 30,000 to 35,000 combatants... Therefore, the strength of the entire Whitebeard Pirates is within 40,000 to 50,000. "

Ortorun, who was sitting in the front seat, touched his chin and raised his brows slightly. This was the first time that he understood the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates in detail from the data.

In my impression, when the Whitebeard Pirates fought the battle on the top in the original story, the total force dispatched was almost more than 50,000.

Not much different from now? It seems that the Whitebeard Pirates have undergone many changes under his influence.

"There are about 50,000 troops, which is equivalent to the size of two naval bases..."

"Basic Commander, our troops have too much advantage, don't we? We can fight one out of ten..."

"It's too exaggerated to fight one out of ten. Do you really think that the general has 5 elites under his command? G- has almost . Combined with the other naval bases and leaving aside the so-called coast guard, we can make up to is almost enough..." Stirres said to a major general next to him.

"Then we can fight one by one with four or five, and fight with the wind..." Major General Stierres said excitedly.

"That's not how the account is settled. Just wait and listen. There should be an explanation later..." Stierres shook his head.

After the generals in the conference room communicated and discussed quietly for a while, Tina changed the projected picture again. This time, what appeared on the projection screen was a bird's-eye view of the G-5 naval base.

Although Sakaski often heard about the situation of G-5, he had never visited G-5 in person. When he saw this picture, he was shocked.

Good guy, if it weren't for the G-5 flag hanging above, he would have thought he saw that the Navy had changed to a new headquarters!

The fortress is no less huge than the headquarters, and the military fortresses on the coast are denser than the headquarters, as well as the three small islands guarding G-5 in a triangle shape, and the terrifying scale of the shipyard community. There are also densely packed naval warships in the harbor.

Is this a naval branch base?

Sakaski had been in charge of G-1 for many years, and G-1 was a product of the "New Navy Headquarters Plan" that was said to be able to replace the headquarters at any time. All the standards were almost all set up and built according to the headquarters.

But just by looking at this aerial view, he could intuitively feel that G-5's base was much stronger than G-1's!

Especially the number of warships that appear on the picture cannot be described simply as 'exceeding the norm and exceeding the standard'.

Sakaski glanced at it at a glance. Good guy, at least the number of standard warships that appeared on this aerial view was more than a hundred... Is this reasonable?

Although Sakaski knew before he came that Ortorun was doing a lot of mischief in the New World and was doing things behind the back of the world government, he did not conduct a detailed investigation after all. He just got a general idea and knew that he Ortoron is over the top.

Now it seems that he is not a super class, he is going to heaven!

A normal naval base has between 20,000 and 30,000 troops, so the number of warships it is equipped with is usually about fifteen. A fully loaded warship can carry two thousand navy, so the general rationing of the navy is based on the strength of the base. If you are fully equipped, add an additional 50% for daily replacement and wear and tear.

In other words, ten warships can carry 20,000 people, but a base of 20,000 people usually requires fifteen warships.

But this is theoretical. The actual situation is that warships are a scarce commodity, and various bases are queuing up to get new ships. Therefore, a regular base with 20,000 people can only have seven or eight warships.

The G-5 in Ortorun's picture, let alone hundreds of warships, is no less than the headquarters. Can Sakaski not be surprised?

Could it be that the Marshal has been secretly suppressing the warship rations of other naval bases in recent years, and secretly sent them all to Ortorun?

After this idea flashed through his mind, Sakaski immediately denied it. It was impossible. With hundreds of warships of this scale, if it were deployed from the headquarters, it would be impossible to hide it from others!

Therefore, Sakaski suddenly thought of something even more 'over the top and illegal'!

Damn it, this guy Altorun will definitely build his own warship in the new world!

That's right, Sakaski didn't really investigate, so although he knew something was wrong with Ortorun, he really didn't expect that Ortorun could build warships in this new world!

And it seems that he has built a lot, with hundreds of ships at the base. This is what is in the picture. Apart from the picture, if you say that he has another hundred ships, Sakaski now thinks it is acceptable!

The key is...where did this guy get so much money! ?

This base, this warship, this firepower configuration, in my impression, G-5 still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers... These may not sound like any problems, but the key point is... As a naval admiral, Sakaski knows very well, G-5 has never taken a dime from the headquarters, and it has developed entirely on its own!

How did Altorun develop such a monster-level base without spending a dime of military expenses from the headquarters?

Just outrageous!

Precisely because he has been a G-1 base commander for many years and has rich grassroots experience, Sakaski cannot understand it!

Where did you get so much money! ?

But apart from the shock, don't mention it, Sakaski's heartbeat also accelerated a lot at some point. When he felt the changes in his body, he realized... that he was actually excited!

He had overestimated Ortoron's power in the new world as much as possible, but at this time, he truly understood that he still did not understand Ortoron's ability.

The navy of the new world has become so powerful! ?

While Sakaski was thinking about these things, Tina was already introducing the New World Navy's situation.

"Including G-5 and the garrisons of various countries, as well as the total strength of major bases, we have an absolute advantage in the number of combatants. Our New World Navy has a total strength of Seven hundred and twenty-six people!" Tina said solemnly.

Hearing this, Shitiers raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that we have been in the new world for too short a time, and we have not learned many details. I thought that the number of visible troops under the general's command was only twenty-three-four." Ten thousand, I didn’t expect it to be close to 280,000..."

Even though it’s more than 200,000, there is enough space for the Whitebeard Pirates to fit within this number!

Kesha on the side heard this, smiled, turned her head and whispered to Stirres: "Have you ever thought that this is just what the general wants people to see? Even excluding the coast guard force in the past two years, maybe the general Do you have more hidden military power in your hands?"

"Huh?" Stierres looked a little surprised...and?

The flying squirrel sitting opposite seemed to have heard the discussion between these two guys, and couldn't help but smile...Kesha really guessed it right!

But Tina did not lie. What she emphasized was the 'New World Navy'. From the perspective of the New World, this was indeed all the troops that her general could use.

But these...do not include the windless zone!

From the time G-5 was taken over by Altoron, they have been developing the windless zone. Now, dozens to millions of laborers, slaves, and zombies are working in the windless zone.

The troops responsible for guarding there are indeed not as many as the laborers, but there are still nearly one hundred thousand.

This is not the key. The key is that once the situation becomes extremely bad, the slaves who are currently digging holes can be transformed into the navy's servant army at any time. This is also a huge force.

But this is just a fantasy. If you think about it carefully, if the situation reaches this point, there is actually not much chance of winning. It is just a desperate struggle.

Stiers and Kesha were there beeping quietly.

At this time, Sakaski was sitting in his seat without saying a word. That's right... he was already a little confused.

How many troops? Two hundred and eighty thousand? How dare he? How could he afford it! ?

Putting aside the forces of Flying Squirrel, Stirres, Kesha, Stolobeli, Huoshaoshan and others... their major bases are not yet full. After all, they were not established very long, and they are not G-5. It has the power to develop independently, but comes from the military expenditure and rationing of the headquarters.

So the total number of their several bases is now almost 80,000.

In other words, Altorun raised the best of the two hundred thousand elites by himself!

And...as Kesha said, this is what Altorun is willing to show for everyone here to see and understand. Who knows if there is anything he hasn't brought out yet! ?

Anyway, Sakaski doesn’t believe that Ortorun is showing off here!

Chapter 345: The New World Naval Council discusses how to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates!

Sakaski's shock is completely understandable, because this thing is quite outrageous.

If Ortorun had an army of 280,000 men, Sakaski would not be surprised at all, and would not even bother to pay attention to it.

Take the desert country of Alabasta as an example.

Alabasta's standing king's army has a size of 600,000!

Is this large enough? Absolutely enough!

For this reason, Alabasta is known as a 'military power' around the world, but in fact, the navy has never looked directly at Alabasta.

what is the reason?

The reason is because of Alabasta's huge military strength, which is the army!

In this world, the army and the navy are two completely different concepts. You may be able to afford an army of one million, but you may not be able to afford a navy of 100,000!

In the Army, you only need to give them food, issue a knife, and take them out for training for a week... Yes, according to today's social standards, almost ordinary Army soldiers can become like this.

Moreover, since the natural environment of the world is composed of oceans and islands, the vast majority of countries exist occupying islands. Usually there is only one ruling force on an island, so the so-called army has almost no combat experience. , with at most 'security warfare' level of experience.

Take Alabasta, for example. It has an army of 600,000, but that is basically to guard cities in its vast territory. How much combat experience can these troops have without rebellion or other unexpected situations?

The entire Sentinel Island is only one country, Alabasta. The army cannot fight externally and can only fight internal security wars.

Therefore, when the Alabasta war broke out, the so-called 600,000-strong army, except for better equipment, was actually not much different from the revolting peasant army in terms of combat experience and so on. Therefore, it was defeated again and again. Defeated, Alabasta, known as a military power, was beaten to the capital by the rebels and almost destroyed.

You know, during this period, Crocodile never directly intervened in the battles between the armies on the battlefield!

In this world, for an ordinary person to become an ordinary soldier, all you need to do is give him a knife, let him eat well, and have the strength to kill people. It can be said to be an elite army.

But if an ordinary person wants to become an elite navy, he needs to have many actual battles on the real battlefield. At the same time, he must be equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, have warships to take them to sea, and have enough ammunition and other equipment. Logistical support.

Therefore, the cost of training for the navy is completely unmatched by the army!

That's why Sakaski is so shocked. You, Altorun, can actually support 200,000 New World Frontline-level elite navy on your own. Isn't this terrifying?

If this were replaced by an army, Ortorun could support a navy of 200,000, which meant that he could support an army of at least two million. A ratio of one to ten was considered too small!

Sakaski was surprised by these things.

But the meeting continued.

After Tina finished introducing the situation of the New World Navy, Flying Squirrel knocked on the table and said: "According to the general's strategic intention, it is to completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, and he also used the word 'annihilate' , that is to say, we want to defeat all the nearly 50,000 Whitebeard Pirates, so we have to find a way to let them concentrate their power. The final result is that we have to face the 50,000 people in the new world head-on. The fierce pirates of the first echelon..."

The others had no objections and listened quietly to the flying squirrel.

After the flying squirrel paused for a while, he continued: "Although Colonel Tina told us just now, we have nearly 280,000 naval elites in our hands, and we have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, but you don't want to I take it too much for granted, thinking that we can really invest 280,000 troops on the frontal battlefield..."

As soon as Flying Squirrel finished speaking, Huo Shaoshan couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's right, if both sides want to invest all the more than 300,000 troops on the frontal battlefield, they will need an extremely wide fighting space. This We need to find a large and open plain island. Secondly, the Whitebeard Pirates are not fools. Will they fight you for 50,000 versus 280,000? Finally, if we mobilize all the troops in the New World to participate in this battle, So how do the major bases operate? How do the daily security maintenance tasks, pirate extermination tasks, and guarding tasks work? How to deal with emergencies? In the new world, if we don’t remove the Whitebeard Pirates, there will be no us. Enemy, if we expose such an empty rear, wouldn’t we be putting fat on the enemy’s table?”

Stirres glanced at the young rear admiral beside him and said softly: "Do you understand? Although we have an army of 280,000, the number of troops that can really be deployed in this battle is not too much. This is our navy. The difference with pirates..."

Whitebeard has an army of 50,000 pirates in his hands. When he starts a war, he can really bring all 50,000 people together and fight you tooth and nail.

Because they don't need to protect anything, although they are fierce, they are really "stragglers" and have no pressure other than combat.

But Oltorun has a naval force of 280,000, but if he really wants to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, he can pull out 100,000, which is considered very impressive.

Because they are the navy, in addition to annihilating the Whitebeard Pirates, they also have many factors that hinder their performance. The naval base must be defended, right? The safety of the surrounding sea area needs to be protected, right? There are all kinds of things...

Or in the original story, for a system as large as the Navy, the headquarters finally spent 100,000 people to start a battle on top with Whitebeard. Why?

The main reason is, of course, that Marine Headquarters Marineford cannot open a larger battle array and cannot provide a larger combat space.

But other factors similar to what Huo Shaoshan mentioned just now also occupy a large proportion.

"So the first topic of this meeting is how much force we need to deploy to participate in this combat plan, which is the most appropriate one?" Yixiao also opened his mouth to finalize the first topic at this time.

Ortorun smiled and looked at Sakaski beside him and said, "Sakaski, do you have any good ideas?"
