Chapter 994 Codename Xuanqi
After hearing what Xirik said, Tianzheng calmed down. He also knew the situation within the navy.
Not all generals were caught, and the Criminal Investigation Bureau's capabilities were limited.
There are still many suspects.
Some of them even have connections with the member states behind the scenes, but they have not harmed the interests of the navy, and they are quite powerful, so it is actually difficult to target them.
It was actually a very smart move for Xirik to retire at the height of his career.
It would be better for both him and the Crime Investigation Bureau.
Tianzheng is three years older than Xirik and is a standout in the second elite training camp.
However, he is not well-known within the navy, which is related to his personality and the nature of his work.
Due to his outstanding talents, he was transferred to the intelligence department after graduation and also worked in the General Staff.
At that time, Tianzheng was already familiar with Xirik.
After Xirik became the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he specially invited Tianzheng to join.
Tianzheng himself also had the idea of challenging himself to do more difficult work, so it can be said that they hit it off immediately.
"Don't worry, I will be working in the General Staff Department next. I was just a figurehead before, but now I'm a real employee."
Xirik chatted with Tianzheng like a friend and felt very relaxed.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will still stay at the headquarters most of the time in the future. I will not wander around on the sea until the Flying Pirates are destroyed."
Xirik made a joke. There were not many people on the sea whose heads were more valuable than his.
This is actually a very serious matter. Once he appears on the sea, he is very likely to be attacked by the Flying Pirates.
He will even face off against the top monster "Golden Lion" Shiki.
Xirik values his life very much and will not put himself in danger easily.
Only by staying in the headquarters can you be absolutely safe.
In terms of military rank, Xirik and Tianzheng are at the same level, both are lieutenant generals.
In terms of military position, Xirik is now Tianzheng's superior.
Even if I am transferred to work in the General Staff, I can't be an ordinary member like before.
Even if it's not a promotion, it's a transfer to the same level.
This is good for Xirik.
Tianzheng has realized that there is actually only one position suitable for Xirek in the General Staff.
Chief of the Naval Staff, Chief of the General Staff.
Under the command of the Chief of Staff Crane.
Mainly responsible for staff and intelligence work, he is equivalent to He's deputy.
In terms of intelligence, the General Staff and the Criminal Investigation Bureau are not connected, but they may be able to cooperate in the future.
Both of them knew this.
This operation was planned by the two of them together. With Tianzheng around, Xirik saved a lot of energy.
But all the light was attracted by Xirik.
Sakaski was quietly pruning the plants, meticulously, and also listening to the conversation between the two.
Xirik and Tianzheng will both be core members of his faction and more important than other hawkish vice admirals.
Not only does he hold an important position, but he is also among the most powerful.
People like Xirik and Tianzheng both possess powerful combat power close to the top level.
They have all been ranked high in the eyes of General Zhan Guo.
If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will get their own code name.
For top combat forces, the navy likes to use the twelve zodiac signs to establish code names. To be more precise, this is the personal preference of the current acting marshal Zhan Guo.
Characters like Sakaski's "Akainu", Kuzan's "Aokiji", and Borsalino's "Kizaru" had actually been decided earlier.
It is circulated among high-level officials.
You can guess it if you try.
Zhan Guo himself is "Aries", but compared to Aries, his reputation as "Buddha's Zhan Guo" is undoubtedly more popular.
Some things are clear now, without waiting for the time to do so.
Many symbolic animals have already been reserved.
Even the least experienced ones, Gion and Kake, have already decided on the code names Momosagi and Chaton.
There is no need to say much about the mole. Kyle inherited the dragon left by Dorag, which corresponds to his current identity as a dragon man.
General "Zhouhu" passed away two years ago, and the hidden injuries left over from his early years were still too severe.
Tianzheng is the "dark horse", but what about Xirik himself?
It is "Xuangui", which symbolizes the black snake.
Although there was some conflict with the "Silver Snake" general of the Army, it was not a big deal.
The two departments themselves do not belong to the same system.
Although the code names "Tiger" and "Ox" are still vacant, these do not match Xirik's personal style.
The selection of code names is very rigorous, especially those for top combat forces.
Once the twelve zodiac signs are complete, it means that the current navy will have at least twelve top-level combat forces.
To this must be added the two top powerhouses, Garp and Zephyr.
Of course, there is a big gap in combat power.
There are admirals like Sakaski who will become the symbol of "the world government's highest combat power" in the future.
There are also ordinary top-level combat forces like Mole and Dark Horse.
The admirals of the navy possess great power and can issue the "Demon Slaying Order" at will, even on the Judicial Island.
Therefore, the triangular relationship between Judicial Island, Impel Down, and Marinford is extremely unbalanced.
The status of the Navy Headquarters is even more transcendent.
The only flaw of the Navy Admiral is that he can be mobilized by the Celestial Dragons.
Becoming a general is not far from Sakaski.
It all depends on when the Flying Pirates will be destroyed.
In addition, Sakaski still needs a few years of sedimentation and accumulation. Now he is only 35 years old and still very young.
Even "Black Arm" Zephyr became an admiral at the age of 38, becoming the youngest admiral of the navy.
For example, when he became a general during the Warring States Period, he was already forty-one years old.
Although there is no practical significance in knowing how old one is to become an admiral, the only one in the navy who has a hope of breaking this record is Kuzan.
The gathering of the three during this short vacation was no secret within the navy and there was no need to be secretive.
Today, Xirik can be considered an open card.
His position in the Navy Headquarters is more between the neutrals and the hawks, leaning more towards the hawks.
Even Zhan Guo and the others vaguely realized that Xirik was on Sakaski's side.
This is not surprising. During the management of the North Sea, Xirik was Sakaski's deputy and handled various affairs.
In addition, since both of them were born in Beihai, their relationship would naturally be closer.
In this way, Sakaski's power is very strong, which is not a good thing for those dove generals.
After all, Xirik has great influence within the navy, relying on the network of relationships accumulated over the years.
He became famous when he killed the "Titan" Atlas with one sword.
His fame spreads across the entire ocean and he enjoys a very high reputation among the people.
At the same time, he also gained great prestige within the navy.
Especially the middle and lower level navy.
The reason why Xirik was rejected was mostly due to the generals who had something to hide, but these generals were only a minority after all.
This operation is beneficial to the navy, but it actually has no benefit to Xirik.
Because he doesn't need to prove his ability.
