Chapter 357 Navy High-Level Meeting
New world, new naval headquarters.
Building renovation and construction work is ongoing everywhere.
It has been a month since the last announcement that Division G would be built into the new naval headquarters.
The island has already taken shape, and the main structure of the headquarters building has been basically completed.
It is more majestic and impressive than the previous naval headquarters in Marinford.
Maybe this is a reflection of the fact that there is strength in numbers.
In the Marshal's office inside the building.
Several high-ranking naval officers were sitting there at this time.
Sitting in the marshal's seat was Admiral Kuzan.
There were four figures sitting around the desk.
From left to right, former Admiral Sengoku, the Admiral of the Navy, who is eating noodles;
Monkey D. Garp, the current instructor of the Navy, who was once Vice Admiral of the Navy, chewing the senbei in a brown paper bag;
Naval Staff Officer Crane;
Admiral Borsalino was cutting his nails with a pair of nail clippers.
This is the entire navy's top brass.
Marshal Kuzan, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at this group of very lazy naval high-ranking officials and said helplessly:
"I have a few things to discuss with you here today."
As his words came out.
Click~
Click~
Except for Admiral Kizaru who is still cutting his nails.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, since the marshal had summoned them here.
There must be something very important to announce.
And such things will inevitably determine the future direction of the entire navy.
Garp and Sengoku looked at Kuzan with interest.
In the minds of both of them, Kuzan is also a lazy character. He used to be a naval admiral who puts people first in everything.
I believe that there won’t be much change after becoming the Admiral of the Navy.
Staff Officer He frowned. She had a feeling that what Ku was going to announce next might lead the navy down a path of no return.
Because they all knew that Kuzan was a person who didn't like the World Government.
The real control of the navy lies in the hands of the World Government.
Then what he announces next will most likely cause the Navy to break away from the World Government.
Everyone's eyes and expressions were focused on Kuzan.
This was also within his expectations.
"The first thing to do is to conduct a global conscription! On the battlefield of Marinford, the navy lost at least a quarter of its troops, and many branches have asked me for support."
When everyone heard the words, they all nodded.
For the current navy, only a global conscription can restore the navy's lost vitality.
So they are all meaningless.
Seeing everyone nodded.
Cool Station continued. Then it is settled. The world recruitment will start tomorrow.
for a period of one month.
We will discuss the ranks and numbers of conscription in detail later.
He paused and continued, "There is another very important matter to discuss with you all."
At this time, Kizaru stopped cutting his nails.
He knew that this was the most important thing for everyone to gather here today.
Similarly, whether it was Sengoku Garp or Crane, they all looked at Kuzan solemnly.
World-class recruiting has become a top priority for the Navy.
There are things that are more important than this.
This made them curious.
“I believe everyone knows that our navy is not our navy at present, or it is not the people’s navy.
Rather, the World Government is the navy of the world's nobility.
In many cases, we have to go against human ethics and do things we don’t want to do.”
After what Kuzan said, everyone understood what he meant.
But no one said anything, waiting for Kuzan's next words.
"So I want to separate the navy from the World Government and make it a navy that serves the people completely."
When Kuzan said this, even the three members of the Warring States group, who were mentally prepared, couldn't help but be shocked.
Such a decision cannot be made simply by saying such words.
Zhan Guo sucked the last noodle in the bowl into his mouth and looked at Kuzan, saying:
“Are you serious?
You have to know that the navy was originally established by the World Government.
There are many World Government personnel in our navy camp.
It is not easy to completely separate the navy from the control of the World Government."
He was not opposed to completely separating the navy from the World Government, but rather supported it.
After being a marshal for so many years, he can be said to have been deeply hurt by the World Government.
It's not like he hasn't thought about completely separating the navy from the World Government.
However, the strength and means of the World Government are simply beyond his ability to deal with.
All he could do was to push off as many unreasonable tasks issued by the World Government as possible.
Kuzan nodded, "I know it will be very difficult to completely separate the navy from the World Government.
But this kind of thing must be done, after what happened in Marinford.
The navy no longer holds the same prestige it once did.
In addition, there were some corrupt officials in the navy, which further damaged the navy’s image.”
Crane said at this time: "Even after the World Conscription, it is almost impossible to leave the World Government.
What do you want to do?
If the navy wants to break away from the World Government, it must have absolute strength.
Currently, the only country that can pose a threat to the World Government is Taoyuan, which has already incorporated the Revolutionary Army.
She suddenly remembered some previous rumors about Kuzan.
"Could it be?"
At this moment there was a terrible thought in her mind.
But before she could say her bold guess, Garp beside her laughed:
“Hahaha! Kuzan, no matter what you want to do, I will support you.
I have been fed up with the world government for a long time."
Just as Sengoku was about to speak up to stop Garp's inappropriate remarks, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the marshal.
Then he closed his slightly open mouth.
Kuzan knew that the people here were not fools, so he didn't keep them in suspense.
He said: "I think everyone should have guessed it. Yes, I want to use Taoyuan's power to help the navy break away from the World Government."
After these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sure enough!" He was shocked, "Do you know Taoyuan? Compared to the World Government, Taoyuan is even more mysterious.
Moreover, Taoyuan is now much stronger than our navy.
To cooperate with Taoyuan is like seeking the skin of a tiger.
Can you guarantee that Taoyuan will not be the next world government?"
Zhan Guo's face was also full of worry.
What He said was exactly what he was worried about.
“In fact, the navy is now in a dilemma. If we don’t respond quickly, the navy will exist in name only.
There is actually no other way to seek cooperation with Taoyuan.
actually..."
This small meeting lasted for several hours.
Apart from the few people who participated, no one knew what the final outcome would be.
In fact, it was not a big decision and it did not have much impact on the lower-level marines.
"Then the three of us will set off for Taoyuan tomorrow."
