Chapter 708: Navy Headquarters General Staff! (2 in 1)

Tsugikuni Yoriichi replaced Sengoku and had almost absolute say in Maynard's transfer.

When Yoriichirō assigned Maynard to go to the New World, his tone was very calm, as if he was just saying something that was a matter of course.

What surprised everyone in the conference room was that in the face of such obvious overstepping of the boundaries by Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro, Sengoku, as the Admiral of the Navy, did not show any dissatisfaction at all. Instead, his actions and behavior showed his approval of Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro's decision.

Such a scene also made the generals attending the meeting think quickly, and they were all guessing in their minds what kind of decision had been reached between Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku.

At the same time, the generals' attention was focused on Maynard.

Now it depends on how Maynard, this "thorn", responds. The lieutenant generals can also carefully observe what Sengoku and Tsugaru Yoriichi are planning through how they handle this matter, so as to make plans for their own future.

At this point, the vice admirals are no fools. They are all very clear about the impact that the destruction of the holy land may bring to their naval headquarters.

The fact that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni appears here with Sengoku at this time actually explains a lot of things.

Previously, because the destruction of the holy land was so shocking, the generals had no time to think about it in a short period of time. Now, after having some time to react, these lieutenant generals have become active in their minds.

This world can function regardless of who is missing, even without the celestial dragons known as the "Creator".

For their naval headquarters, isn't this incident a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
It is true that among the dozens of lieutenant generals in the conference room there are indeed some guys who are loyal to the World Government, but the vast majority of people who can reach the position of lieutenant general have a vision that is already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

People will become very different after being nourished by rights.

Most people have no way to refuse the convenience brought by power, and after getting used to the convenience brought by power, they will not easily give up the power in their hands. On the contrary, those in power who have tasted the power will find ways to expand the power in their hands.

On this road, if you don't move forward, you will move backward.

Previously, the Marine Headquarters was under the pressure of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but now, the Celestial Dragons have been eliminated by Yoriichi Tsugukuni. To put it bluntly, the World Government is just an alliance organization without military forces, and now it is in name only.

It is foreseeable that if the Navy Headquarters can continue to exist, the power held by the naval generals without shackles will become increasingly greater.

Bigger than anyone could imagine.

When they thought of this, the eagerness in the eyes of the generals was revealed, and the way some people looked at Maynard also changed.

Maynard, who was so excited at this moment, didn't notice that the atmosphere in the conference room had quietly changed.

At this moment, he heard that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was actually taking over the job and giving him orders on behalf of Sengoku. He could not stand it at all. He stood up and pointed at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and said angrily:
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi! I admit that you are very powerful, and it is far beyond the reach of someone like me."

"But you are showing off in the wrong place. This is the Navy Headquarters, not your Wan Guo."

"What qualifications do you have to comment on my appointment?!"

Maynard was obviously still confused about the situation. Thinking that he was in the headquarters of the Navy, Maynard didn't want to pay any attention to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. Obviously, he also disagreed with the "transfer order" mentioned by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.

Maynard's words also resonated with some lieutenant generals. Not everyone would be afraid of the terrifying strength of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. Even though Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's strength was much stronger than all the lieutenant generals present, this did not mean that these lieutenant generals would listen to Tsugakuni Yoshiichi obediently.

What's more, some of these lieutenant generals are loyal to the World Government. They are extremely disgusted with Tsugakuni Yoriichi and are unwilling to obey his orders.

Moreover, seeing that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not use drastic measures against Maynard, these people began to feel a little lucky, thinking that if Tsugakuni Yoshiichi intended to control the headquarters of the Navy, he would definitely not carry out a large-scale purge.

Otherwise, the military morale will be unstable and there is a high possibility of mutiny among the subordinates.

Don't think that there will be no mutinies in such an extraordinary world. When the grassroots soldiers and commanders are alienated, it is not uncommon for the subordinates to kill their superiors and defect.

It's just that such a thing is shameful after all, so it was concealed by the navy.

In principle, Tsugakuni Yoshiichirō really wanted to take over the power of the Marine Headquarters smoothly and did not want to cause too much bloodshed.

In Yuichiro Tsugakuni's view, the cancer had already been removed by him, and creating another bloody incident was not in line with Yuichiro Tsugakuni's expectations.

After all, he had some feelings for the navy. When he first came into this world, the first people who brought him warmth were the navy people.

But if you think that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi will relax his control over the navy, you are totally wrong!
He could forgive Maynard's rudeness, and even allow someone like Maynard who was "undisciplined" to continue to stay in the navy, but Yoshiichi Tsugikuni would never allow his existence to be ignored by these vice admirals.

To control the headquarters of the navy, it is absolutely impossible without authority.

"Lieutenant General Maynard, there is something I said before that may not be very clear."

"From today on, the new navy led by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi will officially return to the Navy Headquarters."

"Before that, due to the need for combat, the New Navy was formed under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. However, due to the instigation of the World Government, a shocking incident of fratricide occurred among the navy."

"Now, we have cleared out those guys who caused the internal conflicts in the navy."

"After years of hard work, the New Navy has temporarily stabilized the New World. Their mission in the New World has also come to an end. Therefore, from today on, the New Navy will return to its headquarters."

"And Tsugikuni Yoriichi has also been reinstated as the admiral of the navy."

"In the future, our Navy Headquarters will have to deal with more and more things, and our voice in the world political environment will become more and more important."

"Tsuru and I are already old, and we can't do this kind of heavy work for many more years. Therefore, I appoint Admiral Yoshiichi Tsugakuni as the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters. After I retire, he will succeed me as the Admiral of the Navy."

However, before Jiguoyuan could get angry, Zhan Guo stood up and announced the news.

The new navy returned to the Navy Headquarters, and Kuniyoshi resumed his position as admiral
Either of these two things would cause a stir if it were to spread to the outside world, and this was what Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Sengoku had discussed in advance.

After his rank of general was restored and he was appointed to the post of the General Staff, Ji Guoyuan returned to the Naval Headquarters and held an important position.

The decision not to let Yoriichi Tsugakuni return to the Naval Headquarters and directly become the so-called Navy Admiral was actually made by Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Sengoku after careful consideration.

Zhan Guo decided to lend a final helping hand to Jiguo Yuanyi. The news of the destruction of the holy land could not be concealed, and by then, it was still unknown how the world's public opinion would move.

The Celestial Dragons have been operating for hundreds of years. Who knows how many nobles in this world are wholeheartedly following them.

The reason why Sengoku continued to serve as the Navy Admiral was to help Tsugakuin Yoshiichi share some of the pressure of public opinion. At the same time, he could also do some of the dirty work on behalf of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and bear some of the infamy.

When Tsugakuni Yoriichi ascends to the position of Admiral of the Navy several years later, he will be the one most expected by all the Navy and the people. Of course, this is not an easy task. It does not mean that if Sengoku announces that Tsugakuni Yoriichi and his new Navy will return to the headquarters, the new Navy will be able to live in harmony with the headquarters Navy.

But this is a good entry point. As for how to bridge the slight rift between the new navy and the naval headquarters in the future, it depends on how the top leaders act.

Both Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku are very confident about this.

The army may change but the camp remains the same. In a few years, the unfamiliarity and estrangement will disappear.

By that time, their navy should have swept the world and become the true controller of this world.

"Admiral of the Navy?"

"Chief of Staff of the headquarters?" The news announced by Zhan Guo in succession shocked everyone speechless. Maynard looked at Zhan Guo in amazement, his eyes full of disbelief.

However, just as he was about to say something, Sakaski on the side of the conference table interrupted him directly:

"Maynard, shut up!"

"Whatever you want to say now, remember your identity!"

"You are just a lieutenant general. Marshal Zhan Guo's decision is not yours to make."

Sakaski seemed to have anticipated that Maynard would not be convinced, and hurriedly warned him before he said something irreversible.

Sakaski is actually a person who protects his own people. Maynard is from his line after all, and he doesn't want to see Maynard completely ruin his future because of his confrontation with Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.

Things have developed to this point, and there is still room for Maynard. Sakaski knows Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, and he won't really care about such a small matter.

However, if Maynard continues to resist, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi will definitely not show mercy in order to quickly establish prestige in the Navy Headquarters.

"General Sakaski?!"

Maynard swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, looked deeply at Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and Sengoku, and could only bow without saying a word, and then sat back in his seat silently.

After Sakaski's repeated reminders, his mind finally became clearer.

After the adrenaline faded, Maynard couldn't help but sweat as he sat on the chair. Only then did he realize what a stupid thing he had just done.

The holy land was destroyed. Yoriichi Tsugakuni regained his status as admiral and even became the chief of staff of the navy headquarters. What this meant was too obvious to be true.

It seems that Tsugikuni Yoriichi is about to take charge of the Navy Headquarters.

Moreover, judging from the way Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Sengoku get along, the two of them had already reached an agreement, and the other generals turned a blind eye to this situation. Even General Sakaski, who had the hottest temper and the most upright character, chose to remain silent in such a situation.

He is just a lieutenant general, but he actually jumped out to oppose Tsugikoku Yoriichi and Sengoku.
Maynard raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, only to feel his body become weak.

At this time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also took over the conversation and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, Marshal Zhan Guo."

"Being able to return to the Navy Headquarters has always been what I longed for."

"Something did happen between the new navy and the navy headquarters before, but let the past be the past. After all, both I and the headquarters were forced to do so at the time."

"For the survival of the navy and justice, necessary compromises are unavoidable."

"But from now on, our navy will no longer be constrained by anything."

"No one will restrict the actions of our navy anymore, and we can finally do what we really want to do according to our own will."

"Everyone present here is the core of our navy, so I will just speak frankly."

"Before this, the Navy had many forced tasks. Some of the missions you performed could be called just, while others could only be called helping the evildoers."

"But now that the tiger is dead, I hope you can truly return to your own work."

"Be a pure Navy and practice what you thought and wanted when you first joined the Navy."

"What I want to tell you is that your conscience and justice will be your life-saving talisman."

"People who step out of line will not be able to continue to stay in the navy."

Having said this, Ji Guoyuan paused, looked at Maynard, and continued:
"Lieutenant General Maynard, didn't you just ask me what my qualifications are?"

"What I want to tell you is that I, Yuichiro Tsugikoku, am the one who has the right to speak!"

As he spoke, Jigoku Yuichi's aura exploded, and the terrifying domineering aura instantly pressed down on everyone in the conference room, condensing into tangible domineering aura and even directly bombarding the wall, causing cracks to appear on the wall of the conference room.

Just the overflowing domineering aura was enough to cause such destructive power to the thick walls. The many generals who were the targets of suppression by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's domineering aura felt as if they were carrying a huge rock of thousands of pounds on their backs, and their breathing became rapid.

The weaker lieutenant generals could not sit still and were directly pushed to the ground. The stronger lieutenant generals also struggled to hold on, and managed to raise their heads and look in the direction of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.

Not to mention the lieutenant generals, several generals also felt a sudden pressure on them, and their muscles tensed up.

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi looked around, seeing the ugly appearances of many generals in the conference room, and his voice returned to its usual coldness:

"There is one thing that needs to be made clear."

"This world is very cruel. Speaking with strength is the most basic thing!"

"I hope that each of you can remember this, train yourself, and not bring shame to the Navy Headquarters!"
