Chapter 1867 Battle of the North Sea (3)

Damon stared at the panicked operator in front of him with a gloomy face, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano, but he forced himself not to explode on the spot.

After all, he still retained a bit of his rationality and understood that the operator was actually innocent.

In fact, most of the navy in the North Sea are personnel who were eliminated by the Navy Headquarters.

Those really good talents have already been picked up by the people from the Naval Headquarters. How could it be the turn of the North Sea?

So, how strong can the people who stay be?

Lieutenant General Damon naturally knew everything about the operator in front of him.

It was said that he was a relative of a brigadier general. In order to take care of the young man, he was brought to the Beihai Governor's Office and arranged a position as a switchboard operator.

This job is very easy. You only need to record some information every day and don't need to take any important responsibilities.

However, it is not just this operator who is like this. The civilian navy in the entire North Sea Governor's Office are basically juniors sent in by senior officials.

The reason why they choose to be civilian navy is simply to receive a navy salary. At the same time, they do not have to face the various dangers on the sea like other navy officers. They only need to work in the base all day.

Because of this, civilian jobs in the navy have become extremely popular and have become a hot commodity in the eyes of everyone.

Generally speaking, only general-level naval officers are qualified to recommend people for civilian jobs.

This has become an unwritten rule within the Navy.

However, due to the influence of factors such as interpersonal relationships, many civilian naval personnel often rely on the support of senior management, doing nothing all day long, eating and waiting to die, and even making mistakes at work.

That's why when Damon heard the news, he double-checked with the operator to confirm its authenticity.

After all, such things were not uncommon in the Navy, and he needed to make sure the information he received was accurate.

Seeing Damon's reaction, the operator immediately became cautious.

He didn't dare to move at all, and even his breathing became much softer, for fear of disturbing Lieutenant General Damon's thoughts.

You know, his boss is just a brigadier general, while Damon in front of him is a lieutenant general. How could he, a small operator, dare to offend him easily?

Not only himself, but even his relatives and friends probably cannot afford such consequences.

Moreover, Vice Admiral Damon has always had a bad temper, which is well known in the navy.

Therefore, the operator did not want to touch this bad luck. If he angered Lieutenant General Damon, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The operator stood silently by, not daring to utter a word, while Damon sat in the Governor's chair, his brow furrowed as he muttered, "Warships, so many warships, and coming from that godforsaken place in the Doldrums. How is this possible?"

He was obviously shocked and confused by the news.

Lieutenant General Damon sat in his spacious office, frowning and thinking hard.

He has spent a long time on this problem, but still has found nothing and can't find any key useful information.

Finally, Damon waved helplessly at the operator, indicating that he could go down.

The operator felt relieved, as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly left the office, fearing that Damon would change his mind.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when the operator carefully closed the door of the Governor's office.

The door seemed to be a barrier, isolating him from the pressure of Lieutenant General Damon.

However, just as the operator left, Damon suddenly had an idea and thought of what happened a month ago.

He remembered that the Navy Headquarters seemed to have issued a document that seemed to be about exploring the doldrums.

Damon's mind began to recall the details of the document, but because he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, his memory was a little vague.

However, he vaguely remembered that exploring the doldrums would require advanced equipment such as ironclad ships.

In the entire North Sea Governor's Office, except for Damon himself and his three major generals who were each assigned an ironclad ship, the other warships were still old-fashioned wooden sailing ships.

This old-fashioned sailboat is obviously unable to cope with the harsh environment of the doldrums.

Thinking of this, Damon couldn't help but shook his head.

To explore the doldrums, we must at least wait until the Governor sends more ironclad ships.

So, even though the order from the Marine Headquarters had been issued for a month, Damon did nothing.

In fact, not only did the North Sea Governor's Office fail to take action, but even the Navy Headquarters seemed to have put this plan aside, and no one paid attention to the plan ordered by the World Government to explore the Calm Belt.

The work of the navy is extremely busy. Not only do they have to deal with the rampant pirates at their doorstep, but they also have to deal with the fierce battle for leadership within the navy.

At present, the battle has entered a white-hot stage, and the entire navy is making intensive preparations for the duel between Admiral Akainu and Admiral Aokiji.

In this situation, who has the time to pay attention to other things?

For example, the mysterious sea area called the "Calm Belt".

However, Damon had doubts about the doldrums.

He thought to himself, "Marshal Zhan Guo will definitely be furious with me if I report this without any reason. No, I must find out the truth first!"

After some careful consideration, Damon decided to pick up the phone and call a major general who was on duty outside.

After the call was connected, the other party answered it within a few seconds.

"Major General Sas!"

Damon's voice came from the other end of the line.

Hearing this voice, Major General Sas's body suddenly straightened up as if by reflex.

"Yes, Governor, what are your instructions?"

Major General Sas responded quickly, a hint of nervousness in his tone.

Damon didn't waste any words and gave the order directly: "There is an abnormality in the calm zone near the Tulip Kingdom. Lead the navy to check the specific situation!"

"Yes!"

Major General Sas answered immediately without thinking.

"Well, remember, be careful!"

Damon warned worriedly.

"Yes!"

Major General Sas responded again, saying that he understood the importance and danger of the mission.

The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly, and Sas hung up without hesitation, his expression serious and decisive.

Then he quickly gave orders to have the warship sail at full speed towards the Tulip Kingdom.

The fleets of the North Sea Navy and the Rockefeller Kingdom also shot towards the Tulip Kingdom like arrows.

The army fleet led by Caesar was like a flash of lightning. In just one day, it was able to see the coastline of the Tulip Kingdom from afar.
