Chapter 356: Two Marshals, the Era Takes Over
Looking at Jialinsheng's departing back, Venus seemed to be thinking about something, but he remained silent.
Because according to Mercury, Jialin Sheng is the leading actor of this huge war, so he is just making a guest appearance. He and Jialin Sheng are both actors, and family members should not talk about each other. Besides, Mercury is angry now, so it is better for him to remain silent.
There is another more important reason - that is, the actors in this war, whether it is Galin Saint, Venus, or the senior naval officers in the Marinford battlefield, are all making money without any losses.
Why be an actor? Why do you have to eat two pots of rice?
Because they are stupid?
No, it is precisely because they are smart enough and understand that all eggs should not be put in one basket. They bet on both ends and make a bet from both sides. No matter who wins the final victory in the Battle of Qinghai, they will not lose.
The top naval officials understood this, and because of some personal connections between Gion and Zephyr, they chose to cooperate with Lex.
Garin Sheng wants to become one of the Five Elders and take over the highest power in the world, which would inevitably lead to the death of one of the current Five Elders, so he chooses to cooperate with Lex.
Venus is even simpler. Lex has his blood. In Pangu City, he is just Im's subordinate, but if Lex seizes the world, he can go further.
No one is without selfishness, it's just that some people have more or less selfishness.
Everyone has his own thoughts. The so-called huge war is nothing more than an irreconcilable contradiction between the demands of all parties and a conflict of everyone's desires, so a huge war breaks out.
Even if Lex did not plan for the next ten years and did not launch this huge war, as the conflicts intensified, there would be a similar war sooner or later.
Having lived two lives, Lex has long understood the different needs of all classes in Qinghai——
The nobles want enjoyment, endless wealth and power.
The royal family wants stable rule and hereditary royal power.
Pirates want what they think is "freedom" and want to realize their desires or dreams.
The Navy must maintain their own sense of 'justice' while also satisfying the needs of the World Government.
The World Government needs to maintain the supreme status of the Celestial Dragons and keep the chaotic Qinghai stable.
Needless to say, the Celestial Dragons are already the source of complete corruption and darkness.
In addition, there are special races such as Elbaf, Fishman Island, Zou Mink, and Lunalia who are looking forward to their Nika warriors regaining the right to live in the sun.
There are also revolutionary armies that plead for the people, rebel armies in various kingdoms, a chaotic but orderly underground world, warlords of all sizes, numb slaves, and countless civilians...
Qinghai is too big, and each person seems too small.
There are chess players, chess pieces, and spectators in the game...
Between the powers——
Everyone has different thoughts, but no one shows it. They just listen quietly to Mercury's arrangements:
"Marinford has done very well in this war. Now that Qinghai has changed, it is inevitable to increase military spending. But at the same time, Kong, you also have to understand the difficulties of the Holy Land. Two of the four major seas were plundered by Lex, and the Heavenly Gold of the allied countries has been sharply reduced. Military spending is the biggest part. I have decided to cut the expenses of the 19 Celestial Dragon families, and even take money from the Celestial Dragon treasury. Kong, you have to live up to this trust."
Mercury looked heavy-hearted as he looked deeply at Cyborg Sora.
Steel Bone·Sora and Sengoku stood up immediately:
"I will not let you down, nor will I let down the name of justice!"
"Very good. Also, Sora,...Fate is dead in battle, and someone will inevitably have to take over the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army. Can I trust you?"
Mercury looked at Cyborg Sora again. If Mercury was serious when he talked about military expenditure just now, then at this moment there was a little more smile on Mercury's face.
Steel Bone·Sky Tiger's body trembled, and his eyes changed again and again under the gaze of everyone:
"The commander-in-chief died in battle, and the entire army is in mourning. I shouldn't have taken over this position at this moment, but pirates are rampant and Qinghai is in turmoil. I am willing to give it a try. I will not let you down, and I will not let down the heroic spirit of Commander Fate."
"You should live up to the World Government."
Saturn added.
Mercury laughed:
"Okay, then from today on, Steel Bone Sora will take over as the commander-in-chief of the entire army. He will reorganize the three armies, defend the country from foreign aggression and maintain domestic stability, and live up to the name of the Void Throne!"
"Yes!"
Then, Mercury turned to look at Zhan Guo who was standing beside him, and everyone instantly understood Mercury's next intention.
Zhan Guo also stepped out immediately.
Mercury continued:
"Sengoku, although you made a huge mistake in executing Roger in Rogue Town, in the final analysis, you were just the executor of this matter. It is really unfair to put all the responsibility on you. In this war, you fought bravely in the Holy Land without fear of life and death. On the side of Marinford, Zephyr retreated to the second line, and his personality is not suitable for commanding the navy. There is no need to say more about Garp. Crane's strength is far from enough. Sengoku, you have no choice but to shoulder this heavy burden!"
"Yes!"
"Zhan Guo, listen to my orders! From today on, you will take over as the Admiral of the Navy and command the Navy!"
"Yes!"
After dealing with the matters of the two marshals, Mercury felt a lot more relaxed.
This is a blessing in disguise. Although many strong people died in this war, the world government is still full of talents.
It was an internal decision that Cyborg Sora would take over as the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Everyone knew that and no one objected. Sora's abilities were also obvious to all.
As a wise general, Zhan Guo is a well-known veteran admiral, and a strong man who can truly convince all the navy. It is reasonable for him to take over as the navy marshal.
Even Enelu, although still young, has extraordinary talent that is rare in the world. CP now needs such a young and strong leader.
The only thing is that the Knights of God have produced a traitor and actor named Fegaland Galinsheng, who makes Mercury very annoyed. He is the fucking leader of the Knights of God. Sometimes Mercury really wants to ask Lord Im what he is thinking. Can the dignity of God really be maintained by letting such a guy be the leader?
But now that things have come to this, Mercury thinks he has done his best and the rest is beyond his control.
Even the so-called highest power in the world is just a chess piece in Qinghai's chess game, a chess piece in Im's hands, and cannot control Qinghai.
There are only two chess players who dominate the world on this ocean.
Nerona Iam.
Leon Lex!~
