Chapter 123 You are my family (Please subscribe and reward
"It's not about appeasement, it's about weighing the pros and cons."
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook his head. "Since the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is a foregone conclusion, the Navy needs a group of fresh blood to balance them. It just so happens that these fresh blood are all your disciples."
Bai Ze rolled his eyes silently in his heart.
Is this a liar?
It's not bad that Akainu and Kizaru were promoted to admiral candidates, they deserved it.
The later batch of lieutenant generals who were promoted had all served in the navy for many years, not to mention the incredibly powerful Kuzan!
Diyuan and Chatun are also acceptable.
But what about yourself?
How long have you been in the Navy?
He has become a major general!
It's simply that those people in the Marine Headquarters saw that Admiral Zephyr had made exceptions for them time and again and thought that he had high hopes for them, so they asked them to be included as a bonus to make Zephyr "903" happy!
So he let out a long sigh.
He stood up and said, "General Zefa, Vice Admiral Tsuru, I'm sorry, I cannot accept this appointment."
Hearing this, everyone looked at him.
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at this young man whom he met for the first time but whose name he had heard many times in the headquarters. He was hailed as the "new generation monster" and felt that he looked very familiar.
There's an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if... I had watched him grow up!
"Although I haven't been in the army for long, I respect the identity of the navy from the bottom of my heart. I grew up hearing the names of Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Zephyr, Vice Admiral Garp, and you. In my mind, promotion of naval rank should be based on strength, merit, and character. It should not be used as a bargaining chip in some kind of transaction. So, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."
Bai Ze's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and were well-reasoned and he even flattered Zefa and He a little.
Vice Admiral He shook his head and said, "You are a navy soldier. I heard that you are a martyr. You should know that the most important thing for a soldier is to obey orders!"
Bai Ze frowned and said, "That was on the battlefield! It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders! Not to become a political sacrifice!"
He said in a deep voice: "This world is a battlefield! Soldiers must follow orders!"
Deathly silent.
Zefa looked a little lonely.
But seeing that the boy was still arguing, I couldn't help but feel comforted.
If my son hadn't died... would he have grown up to be such an outstanding young man?
But he still slammed the table and said, "Is there any place for you to talk here? Sit back down!"
To his surprise, Bai Ze disobeyed his order for the first time.
Still standing firmly in the same place.
At this time, Akainu also stood up: "I will never bow to pirates."
Although Bai Ze is usually a bit mean, these words really touched his heart.
I couldn't help but think of what Bai Ze had said to me in the infirmary before.
Only by standing at the highest point can you have the right to speak and to execute the justice in your heart.
Haha, Bai Ze boy.
You are not the only one who wants to stand at the highest point!
"Vice Admiral Tsuru! If you really want to cancel the bounty on those big pirates, I can't accept it!" The flying squirrel also couldn't sit still.
After graduating from the training camp, he fought on the front line of the Navy for many years.
How many brothers died at the hands of pirates!
Is privateering legal as long as a portion of the profits are handed over?
Ridiculous!
Is it so difficult to understand the principle of raising a tiger to bring disaster?
...
Looking at these three young men who will definitely become the backbone of the navy in the future.
Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed silently in his heart, but still slapped the table and said, "Did you make a mistake? I am here to 'inform' you, not to 'ask' for your opinion! You know what pirates are like, don't the Five Elders and Marshal Sora know? In fact, their expectation is very simple, to let a group of wolf cubs who can't be fed to drive away other wolves!
You can object, but it's meaningless! Even if the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is abolished, can you guarantee that there won't be another Six Warlords of the Sea or Four Warlords of the Sea?
Whatever politicians want to do, there are always hundreds of ways to make it happen! Instead of resisting, it is better to maximize your own interests! "
This passage is very straightforward.
Seeing that they were silent, Vice Admiral Tsuru continued, "Military orders are as heavy as a mountain! If you are so worried about the Seven Warlords, then why don't you just pick up ropes and tie them up, and turn them from wild wolves into dogs!"
"But..." Bai Ze wanted to say more...
"Enough!" There was a low growl, and to everyone's surprise, Zefa interrupted him by slamming the table.
"Teacher Zefa..." Bai Ze thought about the previous simulation in which he was the son of this man who looked much older than his actual age, and how he had taken care of him meticulously and many times in reality.
I made up my mind and wanted to say something.
"Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up, Bai Ze!" Zefa kicked out in rage, directly kicking the table in front of him out of the office.
The table smashed a big hole in the wall. The guards rushed over immediately, but when they saw the furious Zefa through the hole, they retracted their heads in embarrassment.
"Ahe, go back and tell Marshal Kong and Zhan Guo that I agree to the four military orders!" Zefa let out a long breath.
"Zefar..." A trace of heartache flashed in He's eyes.
"But I have one condition."
"You said."
"Before this class of students returns to Marinford, I will take them and Bai Ze to the West Sea. Don't worry, I will be back to Marinford before 'that mission' begins." Zefa stared at Vice Admiral He and said.
"Okay. I'll convey your message on 3.8." Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, as if he understood what Zefa wanted to do.
Then she left the office.
Then, the small room became quiet again.
"Everyone, please sit down." Zefa closed his eyes tiredly.
Akainu, Flying Squirrel, and Shirasawa looked at each other and then sat down.
"You must be wondering why I accepted those four military orders?" Zefa said with his eyes still closed.
None of the three were stupid, but they kept silent, letting the old man who had given everything for the navy to give the answer himself.
"I have lost my family once, and the moment you become my disciples, you are my family. As a parent, I will fight for everything I can get, even if I have to trade my self-esteem and principles for it."
Chapter 124 Surveillance and Protection
"What are you thinking about?"
A voice came from the side, Bai Ze turned his head and looked, and it was Shuke who was one of the first batch to be "eliminated" in the survival training.
After coming out of Zefa's office, Bai Ze put his hands on the railing and stared at the endless sea in front of him.
He thought a lot.
Before, whether it was simulation or reality, he always felt like a bystander.
Watch these familiar yet unfamiliar characters live, train, and fight.
But with the tone and expression of Zefa when he said those last words in the office just now, he felt the long-lost reality.
For the first time after traveling through time, I had an inexplicable sense of belonging.
For the first time, he felt that he was no longer a spectator, but a participant in this world.
If the previous bold words were all to please Zephyr and Akainu so that they would accept him faster.
But at this moment, he really wanted to be the one with the right to speak, the one who could change the tragic endings of countless people.
"If I tell you that I want to become the Navy Marshal, would you think I'm joking?" Bai Ze asked Xiang Xiuke with his head tilted.
Xiu Ke was stunned, then shook his head seriously.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good sailor. Who doesn't want to be a marshal?"
"Yeah... Who doesn't want to be a marshal?" Bai Ze repeated what Xiu Ke said. After a while, he turned around and looked at Xiu Ke: "Help me."
"Help you?" Xiu Ke was stunned.
"I want to be a marshal! I need a team, I need a faction."
Xiu Ke looked Bai Ze up and down, and after confirming that he was not drinking, he asked tentatively: "Are you serious?"
"That's right." Bai Ze nodded.
"Okay. I'll help you." Xiu Ke stretched out his hand to Bai Ze.
Now it was Bai Ze's turn to be stunned. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you have anything to ask?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"For example..." Bai Ze was speechless for a moment, he really didn't know what to ask.
"I joined the navy when I was 12 years old, and it has been almost 20 years now." Shuke turned around and cast his eyes toward the sea. "It took me nearly 20 years to rise from an ordinary soldier to a colonel. During this period, I killed 11 pirates with bounties over 3 million and with bounties over million. The most dangerous one was when the bullet missed my heart by only half a centimeter, and the brother who slept in the bunk below me never woke up.
I have no background, I have built everything by myself, it's too tiring. You are different from me, Admiral Zephyr, Vice Admiral Garp, even the stern Vice Admiral Akainu all like you. I also want to have a mountain to rely on. "
After hearing his words, Bai Ze scratched his face in embarrassment: "From what you said, it seems that I was promoted so quickly by pleasing my superiors?"
"Isn't it, Major General Bai Ze?" Xiu Ke also laughed.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard behind them.
Bai Ze and Xiu Ke looked and saw that Vice Admiral He had walked behind them.
The two of them quickly saluted.
Vice Admiral He nodded to Shuke, then turned his gaze to Bai Ze: "Come with me."
So, Bai Ze, with a confused look on his face, followed Vice Admiral He to a reception room amid Xiu Ke's teasing smile.
"Please sit down." Lieutenant General He pointed to the chair opposite.
Bai Ze saluted her again and sat down.
"Do you know why I called you here?" asked Lieutenant General He.
Bai Ze shook his head.
"He was promoted to major general less than three months after joining the navy. This is truly unprecedented." He looked into Bai Ze's eyes and said in a very strange tone.
"Uh... the superiors are so kind to me?" Bai Ze didn't know how to respond and could only speak in an official tone.
"It's not that the superiors are too kind to you, it's that you are lucky." He smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Sometimes luck is also a part of strength?" Bai Ze continued to talk nonsense.
He rolled his eyes at him and got to the point: "Have you heard that Zefa once had a son?"
"Yeah." Hearing this, Bai Ze's expression became serious.
"Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Zefa's son?"
"Ah?" Bai Ze was stunned. Zefa's son died at the hands of the navy when he was less than three years old. What could a three-year-old see?
"When he was still alive, I often hugged him." Crane fell into memory, "The child was very smart, and inherited Zephyr's kindness. He was polite to everyone. He was also born very sensitive to Haki. A three-year-old child could use Armament Haki. Who would dare to believe it if I told others about it?"
"Yeah." Bai Ze nodded in agreement.
"I heard your father was also in the navy?"
Bai Ze smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did everyone come to question him about the lie he made up? But he could only nod.
"What's his name?" Lieutenant General He stared into Bai Ze's eyes, as if he wanted to observe all of Bai Ze's reactions.
"Sorry, I can't tell you his name." Bai Ze gritted his teeth and decided to play dead.
Just when he was terrified, He Zhongjian seemed to understand something and said, "It must be someone from CP. Only they are so secretive, and they are very proficient in the six styles. They got married and had children without reporting to the headquarters. It's normal that you don't want to reveal his name."
I rely on!
