The Navy paid more attention and sent a vice-admiral to escort for the second time. The number of battleships was increased to five, but the number of transport ships was reduced to two.
It used to be 2 to protect 3, but now it is 5 to protect 2. There is no reason for you to rob again, right?
But it's a pity that more than one company is interested in this batch of cannonballs, and when the last batch of cannonballs entered the black market, the extremely high price directly made the pirate group who grabbed the cannonballs a lot of money.
This caused the pirate groups who were still in a wait-and-see state to start taking action. Not to mention the pirate groups in the Grand Line, they also headed to the East China Sea. Even some pirate groups in the New World also wanted to go to the East China Sea.
The navy's ships traveled for three days, two battleships were sunk, and the lieutenant general was also injured.
As a last resort, the transport team had to return halfway, and then another transport ship was sunk and another transport ship was robbed on the way.
The guns arrived, the soldiers arrived, but the cannons did not arrive. Cyborg's whole body was numb.
No matter how elite the soldiers under his command are, no matter how fearless the rain is with the rifles in their hands, they would not dare to land without the cover of artillery!
Otherwise, if there is a cannon on the other side but you don't, wouldn't your death be in vain?
In desperation, Cyborg could only let the demon-slaying fleet return and no longer used transport ships to replenish artillery shells.
But the pirate group patrolling the East China Sea has gone crazy. They don't care if you are a demon-slaying order fleet or a transport ship. As long as you are a navy passing by, they will attack you without fail.
The Demon-Slaying Order fleet had run out of artillery shells and could only fight hand-to-hand with the pirates. Although there was a lieutenant-general on command, the pirates had cannons and guns but no eyesight, so some of the navy was still injured.
Due to the continuous pirate attacks, the schedule was also delayed.
The original three-day journey ended up taking five days for the Demon-Slaying Order fleet, and everyone was injured when they returned. Even the lieutenant general had several bullet holes in his body!
After the demon-slaying fleet returned, Seng Guo's whole body was numb!
In the meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku casually threw the document in front of General He: "Look, our Navy has suffered greater losses this month than in the past year!"
Four ships were robbed of shells, more than 50 battleships were sunk, and nearly soldiers were injured!
Although most of the losses come from the naval branch, the ships are small and the soldiers are weak, but these are the grassroots forces of the navy!
The navy is not like the armies of those countries that join the world government. When people die, they die.
They want pensions from their side!
Moreover, the four ships of lost artillery shells were better off in the hands of the Revolutionary Army, since they were attacking the Army anyway.
I'm afraid that if it ends up in the hands of pirates, this will be used to fight the navy!
And the worst possibility is that these cannonballs get into the hands of a pirate group with scientists, and then the technology of the cannonballs is cracked.
By then, the Demon-Slaying Order fleet will no longer be exclusive to the navy!
When the time comes when the pirates drive the Demon-Slaying Order fleet to bomb the navy branch, who can withstand it?
"As a navy, we should be relatively independent!" He looked at the document and said, "We have no obligation to support the commander-in-chief!"
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Cyborg controls the Navy, CP (CIPHER POL), King Shichibukai, Knights of God, Naval Science Force, Navy Titan Force, SWORD (Navy Secret Special Forces), SSG (Navy Special Science Class) ), Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Navy Photography Department, Marine Corps, Judiciary Island Dog Team, Judiciary Island Guilty Jury, Judiciary Island Giant Guards, Impel Down Prison Guards, Pacifists, Police and other armies of the world government.
But this is only in name.
In fact, each part of the army is either directly under the Five Old Stars, or has its own leaders. If these leaders give Cyborg face, then he can command it. But if they don't give Cyborg face, what kind of shit is Cyborg?
Just like the Knights of God, would you like to command one?
If the command fails, you, the mighty commander-in-chief of the entire army, can't go to Wulaoxing to complain!
Even if you go to complain, I can still find a way to prevaricate you, just say that we have other tasks and don't have time.
Your mission is important, but ours is not?
Suppressing bandits is important, but suppressing pirates is not important?
Crane's meaning is simple, withdraw support for Cyborg, let the navy in the East China Sea return to its own branch, and the Demon-Slaying Order will no longer support Cyborg.
When they first supported Cyborg, they thought that this war would end quickly like before. Then I would send some people there. Isn't this to gain military exploits?
Who could have imagined that this battle would end like this?
If you continue to support us, we may drag our navy into trouble!
"Then the revolutionary army won't suppress it?" Warring States was somewhat moved.
After all, their navy is really in trouble. They have captured Ace and are waiting to start a war with Whitebeard.
Now that we are putting so much effort into supporting Cyborg, what if something goes wrong then?
However, although he was moved, he still couldn't lose face and refuse. After all, Cyborg was his senior and teacher, so it would not be good to refuse directly.
"Of course the revolutionary army must be suppressed, but suppressing the revolutionary army is not our business!" He spread his hands: "Shouldn't this be the matter of the countries that join the World Government?"
"A country that joins the World Government?" Warring States shook his head: "What fighting capacity do they have?"
There are only a few big countries with armies, and none of them have navies.
Oh no, Alabasta has newly formed its own navy and hired a naval colonel as marshal!
Sengoku thought it was funny when he saw the news. Hina was only averagely outstanding in the navy, but such a person could be a treasure in a big country like Alabasta!
And how many ships does such a navy have?
The answer is 2 ships!
That’s right, two ships!
With such strength, it is not even as good as an ordinary naval branch, let alone a naval fortress or base.
These two warships were given by the navy because of Zefa's hard work and meritorious service in the navy!
How can the World Government member countries suppress bandits with such strength?
"We don't need to worry about whether they have combat effectiveness!" He spread his hands: "Besides, does the revolutionary army really need to be suppressed?"
Warring States suddenly fell silent.
Yes, the revolutionary army said it had been wreaking havoc for so many years, but in fact it had little impact on the situation on the sea.
There are even cases where countries that were once revolutionized by the revolutionary army rejoined the world government.
The reason why the World Government reacted so strongly this time was mainly because the revolutionary army killed too many nobles in the Kingdom of Goa.
But he had also heard a little about the aristocratic style of Goa Kingdom.
Mainly, Garp's hometown is in the Kingdom of Goa, and he can't help but want to know.
Frankly speaking, these nobles did not die unjustly, but according to the revolutionary army's past behavior, they would have left after changing the king.
Then just let them go. Why do you have to stop them?
As a result, he tried to stop him but failed to do so, and the battle continued like this. It was not just embarrassing, it was simply embarrassing!
"We cannot stop supporting teachers!" Warring States patted the table and said in a deep voice.
He's lips moved, and he was about to say something when Warring States continued: "However, our warships have suffered heavy losses and need to be replenished. As for when the replenishment will be available, I don't know!"
He curled his lips and understood.

Chapter 331 Technology transfer·Lurious and self-destructive
"Bastard!" After receiving the apology letter from Warring States, Cyborg slapped the desk directly.
"What does this mean? Does he think I'm an old fool?"
The generals and staff in the audience looked at each other in silence and remained silent. There was a conflict between the commander-in-chief of the army and the marshal of the navy. How could they have any part in it?
"This Warring States Period!" Cyborg gritted his teeth and cursed, but he could only curse, but there was nothing he could do.
Again, procedural justice!
All my actions are reasonable and legal. You can't let our ship be damaged and unable to be repaired!
Moreover, the navy has really been extremely benevolent and righteous in this wave of banditry war.
You said you wanted to kill the Demon Order, and we supported it twice, and we also supported it with so many ships and artillery shells.
You said you wanted the navy to assist, and all the navies in the East China Sea went to help block the routes.
You fought the war like this on your own, and it's already pretty good that we didn't sue you. You still want us to help you continue fighting?
"Then what should we do?" A staff officer raised his hand tremblingly: "After all, there is no Demon Slayer Order fleet to help now!"
"Without the Demon-Slaying Order fleet, I can't fight the war?" Cyborg asked angrily.
"This" the staff officer quickly lowered his head. He felt that he really couldn't fight, but he could only think about it, not say it.
"Go, go!" Cyborg waved his hands angrily: "Get out of here, everyone!"
All the generals left the conference room in a hurry.
Cyborg looked at the empty conference room and rubbed his temples. Inexplicably, he felt a little helpless.
Although there are still 38 soldiers under his command, they have no combat effectiveness.
The firearms in hand are not as advanced as those of the revolutionary army, and the range of the cannon is not as far as that of the revolutionary army.
There is also a group of teammates who are holding back and are still delivering supplies to the enemy.
Even his closest subordinates didn't understand him, and they betrayed him at the critical moment!
Can this battle still be fought?
"Marshal Cyborg!" A messenger came to the door of the conference room cautiously. He knew that Cyborg was not a person who would anger the soldiers, but there was nothing he could do. Cyborg's momentum was too strong!
"What's the matter?" Cyborg said angrily.
"Colonel Smoker is outside!"
"Let him in!"
This may be the only good news among the many bad news, that is, a good seedling like Smoker has been discovered in a place like the East China Sea.
Although his strength is a bit lacking, he has a flexible mind and a strong will to fight, and he hopes to become the next wise general.
Thinking of the Warring States Period, Cyborg felt his forehead begin to hurt again.
"marshal!"
"Don't call me marshal, it sounds a bit harsh!" Cyborg waved his hand: "Call me master, your teacher Zefa can barely be considered my disciple, you will be my disciple!"
"Master!" Smoker followed the good example. Now he has a very high emotional intelligence. Even if he doesn't know how to speak, he still has a teleprompter given by the goddess of wisdom.
"Yeah!" Cyborg nodded: "What do you want?"
"The selection of the 20,000 soldiers you asked me to select has been completed!" Smoker said, "Please give me your instructions!"
"So fast?" Cyborg was a little surprised. How long has it been since I issued the order?
"Whether a soldier can fight or has strength actually does not require deliberate screening. All the soldiers near him know it!" Smoker said with a smile: "So I just sent 1000 soldiers from my headquarters to go deep into the grassroots to understand it, and then I found Out of the 20 best ones, on average, each person only needs to find !”
"Not bad, not bad!" Cyborg nodded with satisfaction: "Not only are you smart, you are also very capable of doing things!"
The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
This kid is not only smart, wise, and has the will to fight, but he also seems to have very strong practical skills. He is not the kind of person who is high-minded but low-handed and boastful.
But the better Smoker became, the more uncomfortable Cyborg became.
"such a pity!"
"Master, what are you regretting?" Smoker asked curiously.
"It's a pity that this battle is about to be lost!" Cyborg shook his head and said, "So you won't have much chance to make meritorious deeds in this war!"
"How could this happen?" Smoker was shocked: "Didn't we just get 20,000 guns? Isn't the situation now very good?"
Cyborg shook his head: "Supposedly this should be a secret in the military, but you are one of our own, so I won't hide it from you! The suggestion you made before is very good. Artillery shells can indeed be transported by transport ships, but not I know where the news was leaked, which attracted pirates from all walks of life to transport the cannonballs to rob them!"
"The navy's artillery shells cannot be transported, and the Demon-Slaying Order fleet has returned. We have no long-range artillery support!"
"How could this be so!" Smoker frowned.
"More than that!" Cyborg sighed again and continued: "Because pirates have surged and cannonballs are limited, these pirates are no longer satisfied with just robbing cannonballs. They have also begun to rob food and commodities. Now The price of goods shipped to Yotsuba Island has also begun to surge!”
"This!" Smoker's face suddenly turned ugly.
Yotsuba Island cannot support an army of hundreds of thousands, so the army relies heavily on fleet transportation for supplies.
Now that the price of merchant ships is increasing, it is equivalent to an increase in the cost of maintaining the army.
The World Government only has so much money. If all is spent but the bandits are not wiped out, the war will mean failure.
