Chapter 388 The world is in turmoil again
The next morning, the dawn was just breaking.
The news bird is like a tireless messenger, flying in the sea breeze, carrying the latest news and quickly spreading to every corner of the world.
Jin An sat in the office, holding a newspaper that had just been delivered in his hand. His eyes stayed on the headline for a moment, and his brows gradually furrowed.
His eyes were deep and complex, as if he saw a deeper conspiracy through the thin page.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a light knock on the door, breaking the silence in the room.
Jin An folded the newspaper and placed it on the table, his eyes becoming slightly less sharp.
His tone was steady, yet full of unquestionable authority, "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and Brooke's tall and thin figure walked in. His usual sunny smile was a little reserved at this moment, "General Jinan, Marshal Zhan Guo notified you to attend an emergency meeting."
Jin An nodded, but his eyes swept towards the newspaper again. He tapped his fingers on the table a few times, as if he was thinking about something, or as if he had made some decision.
Finally, he stood up and walked towards the door with steady steps.
Brooke expertly opened the door for him.
Just as Jin An was about to disappear outside the door, Brooke accidentally glanced at the newspaper on the table. Although he did not have flesh and blood eyes, a flash of surprise flashed across his empty eye sockets - the headline read:
"The new Shichibukai Blackbeard Teach is creating a new wave on the sea!"
Brooke's smile froze for a moment, and his skeleton-like face seemed even stiffer.
He quickly retracted his gaze, regained his composure, turned around and carefully closed the office door.
However, he couldn't calm down in his heart, because he knew very well what the headline meant.
Blackbeard Teach, this name once made Jin An feel a little uneasy when he mentioned it. Now, this uneasiness is obviously gradually becoming a reality.
On the other hand, Jin An's pace did not stop because of the news. There was no emotion on his face, as if what he just saw was just an insignificant piece of news.
But deep down, he knew that this was just the precursor to the coming storm.
The rise of Teach is more than just a wave. Hidden behind it are deeper crises and threats.
"I didn't expect that just when I was looking for something for that guy to do, something big would happen..."
Jin An walked in the corridor, and his mind began to quickly sort out the possible changes in the situation.
The meeting convened by Zhan Guo must be related to this matter. Jin An knew that this was not only a matter for the navy, but also a challenge to the entire world government.
Teach's ambition, the forces that may be hidden behind him, and the timing he chooses should not be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Jin An's eyes became more determined. As a general, he not only had to deal with the crisis at hand, but also had to plan ahead and prepare for the future.
No matter how fierce this storm is, he will become the line of defense to protect the navy and world peace.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and Jinan's figure gradually blended into the meeting room where discussions and decisions were about to take place.
He knew that from this moment on, the situation had changed, and he would once again stand at the center of the storm to meet the upcoming challenges.
......
Inside the marshal's office, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed to crush the air.
Every naval commander in the room maintained a standard military posture, sitting upright, their eyes focused but with different implications.
Although they were all veterans and never backed down in the face of a strong enemy, the silence at this moment revealed an invisible tension and pressure.
Zhan Guo's eyes were as sharp as torches as he slowly scanned everyone in the office.
Among the generals, some had their brows furrowed, some clasped their hands, and some had stern expressions, and it was obvious that they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Everyone knows that today's meeting is of great importance.
Zhan Guo's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a low sound. The sound was like the beating of a war drum, bringing everyone's thoughts back to the current crisis.
"I believe everyone has seen the news this morning..."
Zhan Guo's voice was low and steady, with a majesty that could not be ignored.
He paused for a moment, his eyes falling on every general below. That unpredictable look made people feel chilled.
The meeting room was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. The eyes of each general unconsciously became more solemn under Zhan Guo's gaze.
Zhan Guo spoke slowly, "Just last night, Blackbeard Marshall Teach brought two people and arrived directly in Mary Geoise to meet with the Five Elders."
This sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. The whole office seemed to lose its sound in an instant, and deathly silence enveloped everyone's heart.
The generals' expressions changed slightly, some frowned, some's lips trembled slightly, but no one made a sound.
The news was too shocking. Blackbeard's direct audience with the Five Elders meant that the situation had become more complicated and dangerous than they had expected.
Sengoku continued, "Ever since that guy was named 'Seven Warlords of the Sea', our navy has been like being roasted on a fire. The fire is burning hot, but what is even more unbearable is that the decision of the Five Elders has put us in an unprecedented predicament."
His voice was low and his eyes were sharp, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.
He paused for a moment, his eyes revealing mixed emotions.
"His pledge of allegiance is to become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. As you all know, Whitebeard values his family very much. His almost fanatical loyalty and desire to protect his family makes this more difficult than we thought."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the office became even more heavy, and several senior naval generals even clenched their fists unconsciously.
They knew very well that if the Whitebeard Pirates got angry about this, then they, the navy, would have to face the strongest man in the world - Whitebeard.
This is not an ordinary war, but a confrontation that determines the direction of the entire era.
There was a hint of helplessness in Zhan Guo's voice, but he still maintained his usual calmness, "Next, if we don't handle it well, we will directly face the strongest man in the world."
Every general knows very well in their hearts that they are the navy and the sharp sword in the hands of the world government.
Although the knife can sometimes act independently, most of the time, they can only obey orders and have no choice.
And now, this knife is about to be pushed to the sharpest battlefield to face the existence that makes the entire ocean tremble - Whitebeard.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then Zhan Guo's eyes became more determined.
He knew that this crisis would test not only the strength of the navy, but also their wisdom and courage.
As a marshal, he must lead his generals to find a way to survive in this storm, even against the wind.
