Chapter 721: Into the battlefield, fire fist! (2 in 1)

Different positions will naturally lead to different decisions.

If Yoshiichi Tsugakuni is still the commander-in-chief of the new navy, and the Celestial Dragons who control the World Government still remain in the Holy Land and remotely control the Navy Headquarters, then what Yoshiichi Tsugakuni has to do is naturally to unite with the Dragon Revolutionary Army, devote all his strength, and destroy the Holy Land as a priority.

But now, as the situation and identity have changed, the New Navy and the Naval Headquarters have merged into one, which naturally makes the relationship between the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army become delicate.

Partners who were once able to cooperate with each other have now become opponents with different positions.

Nowadays, the demands of Yuichiro Tsuchikuni and Ryu are completely different.

From Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's point of view, what he needs to do now is to maintain world stability as much as possible and maintain the current world system governance framework. On this basis, he will gradually undermine the world government and complete the replacement and reform.

However, the revolutionary army established by Ryu is much simpler and purer than that of Tsugakuni Yoriichi. All they have to do is help those who are treated unfairly to rise up in resistance.

The so-called world pattern has no meaning to them at all. What they focus on is that every country with chaotic governance and every oppressed people need their struggle and help.

What Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and the Navy need to focus on is the "surface". They do not want large-scale chaos to happen in the world because it will increase the difficulty of their reforms and bring some unnecessary trouble to their reforms.

Destruction is much easier than construction. Although the current governance framework has various problems, as long as the leader can grasp the main thread, this big ship can still sail steadily on the sea and will not capsize.

Today, the helmsman of this ship is none other than the Navy Headquarters led by Yoshikazu Tsugumi.

North Sea.

Not long after the fleet led by Sabo and Ace passed through the doldrums, they received a message from the Naval Headquarters. This message came from the General Staff Office and was one of the highest orders of the Naval Headquarters.

On the deck, Sabo answered the phone. Listening to the calm voice coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the expression on Sabo's face changed several times and he was greatly shocked.

"Yes!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

After a moment, the conversation on the other end of the Den Den Mushi stopped, and Sabo responded in a deep voice after a brief silence.

"Gah~"

After the call was hung up, Ace and T-Bone, who were not far away, hurried to Sabo.

"What happened? Sabo?"

"Are there any new orders from the headquarters? Why do you look so grim?"

Although Sabo is now the chief officer of this mission, the relationship between Ace and Sabo remains the same as before, and the change in status has not affected their relationship.

Generally speaking, other officers are not allowed to ask too much about the communication between the chief officer and the headquarters. If the subordinates need to know, the chief officer will usually tell them directly. If he doesn't tell them, it means there are some things that others should not ask about.

In fact, a subtle tacit understanding has already been formed within the Navy Headquarters.

But between Ace and Sabo, there is no need for such concerns. Ace will ask directly, and Sabo will not have any opinions about Ace. Similarly, he will not hide any information he knows from Ace.

"It is indeed a message from the headquarters."

“There have been some changes in our mission objectives.”

"Captain Crow of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army has appeared in the Kingdom of Pei Pei. According to intelligence, the Revolutionary Army has already started a rebellion against the royal family in the Kingdom of Pei Pei."

"Our primary mission is not to investigate the king or collect the gold from heaven, but to help the king's army repel the rebels."

This was the highest order from the General Staff Office of the Naval Headquarters, which meant that it was Tsugikuni Yoriichi's order to help the royal family of the Kingdom of Compensation and suppress the rebellion.

Ace and T-Bone's faces suddenly changed when they heard this. Although they were both officers of the Navy Headquarters, they had formed their own mature values ​​and had their own judgments on things.

The Revolutionary Army founded by Dragon was naturally considered a heinous criminal in the previous public opinion system of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the revolutionary army has done over the years.

Although they have launched rebellion after rebellion around the world, Ace and T-Bone both understand that those helped by the Revolutionary Army are truly grassroots people, and they are precisely the people who need help the most.

Diligence and simplicity are almost the foundation of the revolutionary army, and those they help are all people like them.

In the view of Ace and T-Bone, those in the Revolutionary Army are truly good people.

Even people like T-Bone admired Long from the bottom of his heart for daring to do such a thing.

Because what Long was doing was exactly what they, as navy, were unable to do.

In the eyes of Ace and T-Bone, whether it is the Navy or the Revolutionary Army, they are just practicing the justice in their hearts in different ways.

They all end up in the same destination through different paths, and there should be no essential contradiction between the two forces.

But
It was Tsugumi Yoriichi's order that completely broke the delicate relationship between the two sides. In Ace's opinion, such an order was comparable to the "disorderly orders" of the Celestial Dragons.
"The headquarters actually asked us to help the Kingdom of Compensation suppress the revolutionary army?!"

"Hey, are you sure? Did this order really come from the General Staff Office?"

"I have also paid attention to what the Revolutionary Army has done over the years. In every country where a revolution has taken place, which one was not a forced choice made by the people after they could no longer tolerate it!?"

"And now, that flame has burned to the Kingdom of Pei Pei. Doesn't this mean that the problems in the Kingdom of Pei Pei are very serious?"

"We can take advantage of the chaos to conduct a thorough investigation. Let us help suppress the 'rebellion'. Doesn't this mean that we can take action against those powerless people?"

'Weak as a kite', this was Ace's inherent impression of the revolutionary army.

Maybe there are indeed some powerful people in the revolutionary army, but the foundation of this team is civilians. Many ordinary people have joined Long's team. After undergoing some training, these ordinary people with ideals joined the revolutionary army.

Unlike the careful selection of the Navy and the New Navy, the entry threshold for the Revolutionary Army is much lower.

This also means that the strength of the Revolutionary Army is far from comparable to that of the new navy at that time.

The lack of strength also makes the development speed of the Revolutionary Army lag far behind that of the New Navy. After so many years of dormancy and development, the Revolutionary Army can only make small fights in the four seas and has never posed a real threat to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

This is fundamentally different from the new navy led by Yuichi Tsuchikuni.

"You don't have the strength to restrain a chicken?"

"Hey, Ace, you're looking down on the Revolutionary Army by saying that."

"Even an ordinary person, with a gun, can pose a deadly threat to a soldier who is drunk."

"What's more, the one leading them is Crow, the captain of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army. That guy is a user of the Nature Devil Fruit ability. In a place like the Four Seas, he can be said to be invincible!"

"The Revolutionary Army is not as weak as you think, and the relationship between them and our Navy is not as close as you think."

When Sabo said this, his eyes became deep. After all, as a child who had received some aristocratic education, Sabo was not as straightforward as Ace when considering issues. He had already vaguely guessed why Tsugakuin Yoriichi had issued such an order, and at the same time, he vaguely felt the contradiction between the Revolutionary Army and the Navy.

"It's true that the relationship between us and the Revolutionary Army is not close, but what Long has done over the years can at least be called justice, right?!"

"It's unbearable to fight against such a team..."

Before Ace could finish his words, Sabo shook his head and interrupted:
"This matter is not as simple as you think, Ace."

"The conflict between the Navy and the Revolutionary Army is due to their different demands."

"Admiral Tsugumi Yuichi now has to consider more than just the Kingdom of Compensation. Our navy's perspective cannot be limited to the Kingdom of Compensation, nor can it be limited to the 'small place' of the North Sea. We must learn to look at the world."

"Tian Shang Jin, you can actually think of it as a franchise fee or protection fee."

"If you want to collect the Heavenly Gold from the member states, you must have the value worthy of the Heavenly Gold."

"The Revolutionary Army is now challenging this value of our Navy Headquarters."

"If there is no way to help the Kingdom of Pei Pei suppress the rebellion, what reason do the allied countries have to continue to supply Heavenly Gold to our Navy Headquarters?"

"Should we let the Navy Headquarters learn from the Celestial Dragons and completely destroy a non-member country every three years?"

"No way"

In front of his brother, Sabo naturally said whatever he thought. He did not avoid mentioning T-Bone when he said this, because after these days of contact, Sabo knew that T-Bone's temperament was actually somewhat similar to Ace. This man who looked ferocious on the surface was actually very gentle at heart.

Whether treating his subordinates or ordinary people, T-Bone is one of the most gentle marines Sabo has ever seen.

Such a person will inevitably resist Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's orders. Before arriving at the Kingdom of Peipei, Sabo needs to give these two people a heads-up.

"."

Ace is a straightforward person, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Once Sabo explained it, he actually easily understood the key points.

Indeed, as Sabo said, if the Navy Headquarters intends to continue using the Tenjo Gold system to control all the member states in the world, then they must demonstrate that their strength is indeed worthy of Tenjo Gold.

The revolutionary army jumped out at this critical moment and actually ran into the navy's gun.

"Just a repulse?"

After thinking for a moment, Ace's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Yes, just fight it off."

"The general did not convey any other meaning."

"Or that's what the Admiral is conveying."

Sabo was clear-minded. He had already thought of a countermeasure a long time ago. Ace was also a smart man. After pondering the orders from his superiors, he also knew what he had to do.

"Sabo, when we get to the Kingdom of Compensation, I will take action."

"Let the other brothers stay on the boat. If they join the battle, I'm afraid innocent people will be hurt."

Ace volunteered to take the charge. He was very confident in his own abilities and that he could "peacefully" resolve the so-called rebellion.

Moreover, Ace had already made up his mind that after ending the rebellion in the Peipei Kingdom, he would thoroughly investigate those princes and nobles and restore justice to all ordinary people.

"ju——"

"boom!!!!"

A sharp whistle was heard in the sky, and the next second, a pitch-black shell had hit the wall of the royal city. The already dilapidated wall finally couldn't bear the weight and collapsed after this bombardment.

"Boom——"

After a loud bang, a corner of the originally towering wall of the royal city collapsed. The guarding soldiers' faces changed suddenly when they saw this, and then, under the command of the general, they quickly walked towards the gap.

"The wall collapsed!"

"Charge! Fight your way in and take back everything that belongs to us!"

Outside the city, shouts suddenly came from the densely packed trenches. After a while, a large crowd of people poured out of the trenches and rushed quickly towards the gap in the royal city.

At the same time, a group of crows appeared in the sky and flew towards the gap ahead of everyone else.

After besieging the royal city for so long and consuming countless amounts of ammunition, the revolutionary army of the Kingdom of Pei Pei finally broke through the city wall and had hope of bankruptcy.

And the crows took the initiative to attack for the first time in these days. After being transformed into elements, the crows stood in front of the crowd, blocking the bullets shot at the crowd from the direction of the city wall.

The revolutionary army is very methodical in doing things, and they will never help those who have no idea of ​​fighting in their hearts.

At the same time, they will not act as nannies for those who try to resist. More often they will act as a bystander, a planner, instructing ordinary people on how to use their own hands to seize everything that should belong to them.

Only those who have the idea of ​​resistance in their hearts can become the targets of assistance from their revolutionary army.

The reason why the royal city of Peipei Kingdom was not breached until today was because Crow, the powerful army captain, did not take the initiative to take action.

They are well aware that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

As the city wall collapsed, there was a sudden burst of artillery fire on the battlefield. The dense gunfire and artillery sounds mixed with the shouts of the people, and the noise was deafening.

Although those people of Wangcheng Army were called "army", when faced with the fierce and ferocious revolutionary army, they were defeated by the enemy at the first sight.

There is no way, the two sides have different fighting purposes.

For some people in the Royal City Army, a few thousand berries a month was not a big deal. But for the lower-class people who started the rebellion, if they could not successfully change the dynasty, their entire clan would be exterminated.

With different purposes, the combat effectiveness is naturally very different.

The appearance of Crow and his men also made up for the gap in weapons, techniques and tactics.

This also turned the siege into a one-sided battle.

"fire punch!!!"

However, just as the revolutionary army was about to climb over the city wall, a loud shout rang out on the battlefield.
