Chapter 995: Sakaski, the trend of the times
Next, he became the Chief of the General Staff, managing this core naval organization.
Xirik stood by Sakaski's side, and no one else had the capital to compete with Sakaski.
Zhan Guo actually had no objection to Sakaski being the candidate to succeed him as the Marshal.
After becoming the acting marshal, Zhan Guo had actually already begun to consider who would be his future successor.
Appointing Sakaski and others as governors of the four seas was also to test their abilities.
Kyle’s abilities are sufficient, but due to his current identity issues, he needs a first pass.
Borsalino's style means he is not suitable for this position.
Kuzan's performance was average. Although Sengoku was optimistic about him, he was far from being able to lead the navy to negotiate with the World Government and fight against the monsters in the New World.
This is a very important thing.
There is no doubt that Sakaski is the best candidate.
Don't mention that Sakaski has Xirik's assistance, this is also part of his ability.
Xirik completely makes up for Sakaski's shortcomings and can provide help to Sakaski both in terms of wisdom and in negotiations with the World Government.
Xirik himself has a good foundation within the navy.
If you choose Kuzan, where will Sakaski and Xirik stand?
It is even very likely to cause turmoil within the navy, and in serious cases it may even split.
Besides, Zhan Guo is now truly optimistic about Sakas.
You have to know that the Warring States period today is on the side of the hawks, with an absolutely hawkish and tough style.
The dire situation the navy faces at sea requires them to be tougher.
Although Sakaski has some flaws, Cyrek can fully complement him. Their achievements in the North Sea demonstrate the chemistry between the two.
To a certain extent, Xirik has the ability to persuade Sakaski.
Many things in the North Sea actually illustrate this point.
After Xirik left the North Sea and returned to the headquarters, Sakaski was able to manage the North Sea Navy and the order of the North Sea alone.
Transferring Xirik to the position of Chief of the General Staff, in a sense, was intended to designate him as the successor to He.
I have to admit that He is already old, in his fifties.
As the chief of staff, I am more responsible for controlling the overall situation and do not have enough energy to handle affairs.
Normally, she would leave it to her subordinates to handle, and she was not actually needed for non-important matters.
Just like the Warring States Period and Crane today.
In the future, Xirik will most likely stand beside Sakaski as the chief of staff.
Both Zhan Guo and He were smart people.
Today, Sakaski has become a big deal.
Sakaski's prestige within the navy is higher than that of Borsalino and Kuzan.
We need more supporters too.
In addition to Xirik's public support, the attitudes of Sakaski and Xirik will have to be taken into consideration when choosing someone in the future.
Naval cohesion is important.
Actions that might cause division in the Navy must not be taken.
This is also the reason why Xirik doesn't care about being exposed and is so relaxed.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that Sakaski will become the Navy Admiral in the future.
However, this incident may have happened a long time ago, very early on.
After all, Sengoku has not yet been officially promoted, and Sakaski has not become a navy admiral.
The Flying Pirates have not been dealt with yet.
Whether it is Zhan Guo being promoted to marshal or Sakaski and others becoming generals, they need to wait for the right time.
After that, Zhan Guo should continue to serve as marshal for more than ten years.
Sakaski will have to wait at least twenty years.
Xirik knew that, just like the throne, the sooner the crown prince was determined, the less likely there would be chaos.
The same goes for the Admiral candidate.
Zhan Guo was identified by Kong as the successor early on.
There are many reasons for this. Zhan Guo is Kong's direct descendant, so he was valued and trained early on.
He was the one who even took out the Great Buddha Fruit, so he must have more trust in and understanding of Zhan Guo.
Otherwise, if Garp has no idea of becoming a marshal, doesn't Zephyr have this idea?
A Marine who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier.
If Kong had not revealed this intention early on, Zephyr would definitely have fought for it.
In the past, the position of Admiral of the Navy was often fought fiercely by several admirals, who would resort to all kinds of covert means.
For a long time, the navy has been caught up in power struggles and constant turmoil.
Sora had experienced this before, but it was a Marine admiral from the previous generation.
In his generation, Kong's strength is unrivaled and no one can compete with him.
It was precisely because of this lesson that they did not want the navy to get caught up in internal strife, so they chose the more promising Warring States period early on.
Although Zefa came out of nowhere and rose rapidly in a short period of time, his foundation is not as deep as that of Sengoku, but his reputation among the lower levels of the navy is much higher than that of Sengoku.
He became an admiral at the age of 38 and rose through the ranks in just a few short years. In those darkest years for the navy, Zephyr was a true hero.
He always leads the charge in every battle, and his appearance brings hope to the navy who are extremely desperate facing the Rocks Pirates.
Regardless of whether the top naval officials themselves have such intention, Zephyr's existence does have extraordinary significance.
If the space and time were ambiguous and Zefa really wanted to fight, the two sides would definitely have to fight.
However, after Kong became more optimistic about Sengoku, Zephyr gave up this idea and did not leave him with such a thought.
Xirik knew that his becoming Chief of Staff was a clear signal.
The general trend is on their side. If they maintain this advantage, Sakaski's influence and power within the navy will continue to grow and will ultimately be unshakable.
This is undoubtedly a victory.
The future of the navy is in their hands.
However, Xirik will not relax so easily. He still needs to continue to develop his power and not give others any chance.
The future is too long, and who knows what accidents may happen.
Xirik and Sakaski have a deeper plan, and controlling the North Sea is an important part of it, as well as a way out.
The second step is to become a naval marshal.
As for the position of general, it is a foregone conclusion.
The air was already filled with the aroma of meat. Xirik picked up a skewer, took a bite, and pulled hard with his arms.
Savoring the food carefully, Tianzheng’s barbecue skills are quite good.
Although the barbecue tasted basically the same, he hadn't enjoyed it like this for a long time.
The last time seemed to be several years ago.
Even earlier, during the period of the Kingdom of Chronos.
At that time, many brothers and sisters often got together.
As if he had thought of something, Xirik looked at Sakaski.
"Sakaski, you are the one who will go to Chronos Kingdom to escort Hades to Marijoa this time."
