Chapter 1039: Navy Decision Encirclement

The power of Gaya Island is very terrifying.

The Warring States period knew it in their hearts.

On the surface, it is not an all-out war. It only needs to disrupt the order of Gaya Island through war, making it impossible for the various forces on Gaya Island to salvage the gold safely.

But for the navy, they need to send out at least half of their forces. Isn't this also a big war?

The World Government said it with ease, but the pressure was put on the Navy instead.

The consumption and losses when the bloody battle broke out are still vivid in our memory.

However, they did not want to actually go to war, as the navy could not afford the cost.

Now, settling for the second best is the best solution.

"The World Government's order has been issued, and you should have received the news."

Zhan Guo stood beside the projection, looking at the many generals present.

"Sakaski, Kuzan, Borsalino, the three of you will lead 5,000 troops to each of these three islands."

“A naval base will be established on the island later.”

The projection shows a map of the waters around Gaya Island.

There are three neighboring islands, forming a triangle and surrounding Gaya Island in the center.

"And your main task is to send warships to roam the waters of Gaya Island. Attack any ships you find. It would be best if you destroy all of them to interfere with the people on Gaya Island from salvaging gold."

"Some conflicts are unavoidable, but we must preserve our combat power as much as possible."

In Zhan Guo's opinion, the orders of the Five Elders were to his liking.

War is secondary. As long as we can interfere with the gold salvaging efforts of the forces on Gaya Island, our goal will be achieved.

"Yes." X3

The three of them understood what Zhan Guo meant, and they were also well aware of the current state of the navy.

We cannot allow these pirates to become too arrogant, nor can we force them too harshly.

This degree must be controlled well.

As long as this situation can be maintained, it will be a strategic victory for the navy.

In addition to the three general candidates, Zhan Guo subsequently arranged many senior generals to serve under the three general candidates.

Gaya Island is home to many powerful pirates.

If the navy wants to interfere with these pirates, it not only needs a large number of naval warships, but also needs senior generals on board each naval warship.

Avoid the naval warships from being destroyed before they can interfere with the forces on Gaya Island.

If you are not careful, a naval warship may be completely destroyed.

The war situation should be kept as small-scale and chaotic as possible.

After all, the Golden Sea is not big.

The area where gold falls from the sky basically remains within three to eight kilometers around Gaya Island.

This hollow circle area is the real golden sea.

It can be said that right at the doorstep of Gaya Island, naval warships appeared in the Golden Sea and could even be seen directly from Gaya Island.

It is equivalent to starting a war at the gate of Gaya Island.

By blocking the Golden Sea, Zhan Guo did not think that he could put Gaya Island into a material crisis.

In the final analysis, this is just another form of "bloody battle".

The only difference is that the battlefield is on the sea, in the golden sea surrounding Gaya Island.

The smaller the range, the easier it is to support each other.

This also means that the war will become more intense.

Once you get stuck in it, it will be like a meat grinder and you can't control it just by wanting to.

The Warring States period was prepared to bear certain losses.

In return, the Navy will be able to receive more military funding from the World Government.

In addition to the expenses of declaring war on the Golden Sea.

The navy also needs to expand the scale of world conscription and increase its military strength as much as possible, and the Great Pirate Era needs to be suppressed as soon as possible.

The hard-earned results of the Navy Headquarters sending the Governor-General of the Four Seas to suppress the Four Seas were destroyed in this way.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, the navy tries its best to maintain order in the world.

This is the world government's support for the navy, and it is something that must be done.

Now, Sihai still has higher priority than Gaya Island.

Even though the Navy Headquarters has deployed a large number of combat forces on Gaya Island.

"He, have the intelligence department keep a close eye on the actions of those big pirates. Once the Six Emperors take action, we must be vigilant..."

"I understand." He nodded slightly and took a sip of hot tea.

After the meeting, the Navy Headquarters began to operate like a huge war machine.

Everyone started to get busy.

Zhan Guo returned to the office alone.

Looking at the sky outside the window, I sighed.

Cap had been away for a while, and even though they kept in touch from time to time, he still felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was missing around him.

It was hard to have such a grandson, so he couldn't say anything.

When the war really comes, Garp will definitely come back.

This news also surprised many people.

Garp was extremely excited at the time and let many high-ranking naval officials know the news.

I didn't expect that under the strong oppression of the World Government, Dragon still had time to have a child.

But this is also a good thing for Cap.

Having a grandson can at least prevent one from living alone and having no successor.

My thoughts return to this war.

Although the situation was somewhat serious, the pressure it brought to the Warring States Period was actually not that great.

Over the years, his ability to endure has been developed.

Besides, he was well prepared for this battle.

Only if the Sea Emperor of the New World really takes action personally, or if the entire Flying Pirates are dispatched, will he feel the real crisis.

Even the World Government did not take action.

This is just the beginning, it's not there yet.

Of course, he had another purpose.

The new navy needs to be tempered by war so that they can grow faster.

The same goes for many generals, including Sakaski, Kuzan, and Borsalino.

Young sailors like Gion and Kake need to grow up as quickly as possible.

The navy needs more powerful men so that it can cope with the next wars.

Zhan Guo was actually not optimistic about the future situation.

People like Sakaski might be able to become generals now.

But what about becoming a marshal? They are still a long way from that.

Who can guarantee that Marshal Kong’s situation will not happen to him?

Maybe one day, I will die in battle.

So before that, Sakaski and the others need to grow to their peak as quickly as possible.

This way there won’t be a situation where there is no one to succeed.

Sengoku understands Shiki.

If we are well prepared, we will definitely go to war with the World Government.

The development of the Flying Pirates has actually reached a bottleneck. Even if they train more pirates, their strength cannot be increased much.

Although there are some that have become more famous in recent years.

However, monsters like Grodo and Ciel did not appear. Perhaps there are pirates with such potential, but they have not grown up yet.

Since the Flying Pirates have not taken any action, it means that they are really preparing some mysterious trump card.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

If he wanted, Zhan Guo really hoped that the navy could develop steadily for seven or eight years.

But he knew that this was impossible.

It is unknown how long this Golden Sea War alone will last.

He hoped to keep the standoff going as long as possible.

But it was not something he could decide easily.

The initiative lies in the hands of the government and the pirates.

Maybe one day, one side will be unable to bear it anymore, and by then, even if the Warring States does not want to get involved, there will be nothing they can do.
