Chapter 1568: Fighting the War (End)
He could take advantage of the navy's distraction and fatigue and gradually consume the navy's strength without forcing the navy into a desperate situation all at once.
In this way, Charlotte can maneuver skillfully in this game of power and ultimately achieve her goals.
Charlotte slowly withdrew his gaze from the Navy Headquarters, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this final scene in his mind.
This battle, which lasted only one day, brought such far-reaching impact and involved a staggering number of people.
The Whitebeard Pirates, who once dominated the world, have now been completely destroyed.
Those warriors who once made a name for themselves on the sea are now only a handful left, as pitiful as cats and kittens.
They can no longer create the huge waves on this vast ocean as they did in the past.
Charlotte silently boarded the Golden Ship.
Standing at the bow, he looked around and found that apart from all the members of the Rockefeller family and the surviving members of the Whitebeard Pirates, there were only Rayleigh, Luffy and Ivankov left.
The others lost their lives or are missing in this tragic battle.
Charlotte's thoughts suddenly drifted to the group of supernovas.
Previously, Kidd's shot attracted the attention of the entire audience, and he also made his mark in front of the whole world.
However, when the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were fighting fiercely, Kidd and several other supernovas took the opportunity to hijack a navy ship and quietly escaped from the navy headquarters.
Charlotte thought that after experiencing this thrilling battle, these supernovas must have a deeper understanding of the vastness of the world.
They should no longer rush headlong into the new world blindly as they did before, but instead think more carefully about their future path.
It would be best if this group of people could run rampant in the park and turn it upside down!
In this case, there is absolutely no way the Navy would sit idly by and watch these people act so recklessly under their noses.
In this way, the pressure that Charlotte is under can be shared to a certain extent.
Charlotte came like a gust of wind and left like a whirlwind.
All that was left behind was a mess and the navy who had been humiliated by him.
The island of Marinford has been completely changed after being destroyed by Whitebeard and Charlotte.
More than half of the island has sunk, and a large amount of coastal areas have also sunk, and the area of the island has been reduced by half.
As to whether this island will still be able to accommodate the naval headquarters in the future, it is still unknown.
After witnessing all this, Zhan Guo couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Never mind. After this incident, he will definitely step down as marshal.
When the time comes, let Aokiji worry about these things.
Zhan Guo thought so in his heart, then shook his head helplessly, then cast his eyes to the whole scene and ordered loudly: "Clean up the battlefield immediately and do our best to treat the wounded!"
"Yes!"
After a moment's silence, the navy suddenly burst into an earth-shaking roar.
The roar was like thunder, resounding through the sky, as if it would shatter the entire world.
This sound seemed to be venting the long-suppressed emotions in the heart, and also seemed to be celebrating the end of this cruel war.
The battle lasted only one day, but it was so fierce that it was unimaginable.
The powerful force of firearms and the might of those peerless warriors made all the marines who experienced this war personally feel deeply their own insignificance and powerlessness.
After the blood and passion of war faded, they were replaced by endless palpitations and fear.
This massive war involved a hundred thousand navy troops. As the defending navy, the Chinese had a unique geographical advantage and powerful firepower support.
However, even under such favorable conditions, when the final casualties were counted, Zhan Guo was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"In this battle, the death toll reached 23,653, 3,762 missing, and 41,861 injured, including 29,916 lightly injured, 4,352 seriously injured, and 7,593 disabled!"
He read out these numbers expressionlessly, and each number was like a heavy hammer, hitting Zhan Guo's heart hard.
Inside the temporary meeting room of the Navy Headquarters, a solemn and dignified atmosphere enveloped everyone.
Zhan Guo and other generals sat in this dilapidated conference room, with expressionless faces, as if shrouded in a heavy pressure.
When the casualty figures were heard, the conference room fell into deathly silence.
The faces of all the generals turned extremely ugly. They opened their eyes wide with astonishment and disbelief.
\"Such heavy casualties!\"
Aokiji couldn't help but turn his head and look at Chief of Staff Tsuru, his voice filled with shock and pain.
Staff Officer He nodded silently, her face equally gloomy.
\"After this battle, there are only 30,000 troops available! \"
Staff Officer He's voice echoed in the silent conference room, and every word struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
This means that after a brutal battle, only 30,000 of the original 100,000-strong army are still able to continue fighting.
Staff Officer He continued: "Those with minor injuries will need to rest for one to two months, by which time our force will reach over 60,000. Moreover, since these marines have experienced such a fierce battle, they have been reborn and become truly elite. In other words, the Navy Headquarters will have 60,000 elite marines!"
Although her words brought a glimmer of hope, everyone's mood was not much relieved.
After all, behind these 60,000 elite marines are the lives of nearly 40,000 elite troops.
This was achieved at the cost of countless blood and sacrifice.
(Those missing, seriously injured, and disabled are no longer able to continue to serve in the army and are considered dead in battle!)
Staff Officer He looked at the generals present, with a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.
She knew very well how huge the cost of this war was. These figures were not just cold statistics, but also the broken families and suffering of countless loved ones.
In addition, He also made a detailed statistics of the 40,000 elite troops of the original Navy Headquarters.
When the data was finally presented, it was shocking that more than 8,000 people had unfortunately died in the battle.
This means that among these 60,000 newly emerging naval elites, a full 28,000 were transformed from the elites of various branches.
Among these 60,000 elite troops, more than 32,000 unfortunately died in this brutal battle, and finally these 28,000 real elite troops were forged.
In other words, the branch navy lost a full half of its troops!
