Chapter 661 The necessity of joint military training

"Okay, things here are over, and it's time to go over there."

Looking at the Red and Blue Force going farther and farther away, Kaido stretched and said.

"Let's set off tomorrow, take Yamato and the others with you, let them also feel what a real war will be like, otherwise they still think that war is just two people fighting against each other, and then it will become a fight between many people."

Lily nodded and said that they had not forgotten what was the most important thing now. Training Shanks and Buggy was not the main thing. The real main thing was to prepare for a local war against the World Government later. In this month, Kaido and Lily also talked to Tiger once. Tiger agreed with their ideas, but said that he needed to discuss it with the people of the Red Hair Pirates. After all, he could no longer represent only himself, and he had to think more comprehensively. Shanks and others also agreed. They had made a big fuss in the Sabaody Archipelago at that time, so they would naturally not refuse such a thing, and Shanks and others finally understood why the Four Emperors wanted to do this.

Now, most of the generals, thousand households, and ten thousand men have already started their initial training at the address they have chosen. Katakuri and others from Big Mom's Pirates have probably also gone there. This training will also make up for the biggest shortcoming of the Four Emperors Pirates and the World Government, which is the unity on the battlefield.

If the Four Emperors are simply in terms of strength, they are really no worse than the World Government. Don't you see that in the original timeline, the Whitebeard Pirates can compete with the elite of the Navy with just one group. Although there are some special circumstances, such as Whitebeard's desperate efforts, Garp's slacking off, Kizaru and Aokiji's paddling, and the Seven Warlords not distinguishing between friend and foe, but in general, when Ace was released, the Whitebeard Pirates were actually victorious. After all, the main goal had been achieved. If Ace hadn't been disobedient and was provoked by Akainu, the Navy could be said to have gained nothing except the head of Whitebeard, who didn't want to live.

From this, we can see that the Whitebeard Pirates' combat effectiveness is really high. If Shanks had not stopped Kaido at that time and really let Kaido lead his men to Marinford, it would be hard to say what the final result would be. At least it would be a lose-lose situation. The Navy might not be able to end this matter without the death of an admiral.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates almost achieved their goal in the whole battle, why did they fail in the end? It's very simple, there was no command that enforced the rules.

From the beginning of the battle, in addition to the basic goals, the pirates fought each other, without a clear command. Whitebeard would say from time to time, "Go to so-and-so." Compared with command, the most important role of Whitebeard is his own strong combat effectiveness, not the battlefield commander.

At the beginning, a seaquake triggered a tsunami, and then Aokiji froze the sea, giving them a place to stay, but it turned out to be a trap. Later, Akainu almost cooked hot pot, and one person was instigated to stab his main general. Although the technology successfully improved the period of his side, the damage was real. There was also Little Oz, a strategic unit that was disobedient and suffered too much damage in advance. Although it broke the navy's plan a little by mistake, it was essentially a failure. If it attacked by other methods, the result would be much better.

Really, with this rhythm, the more I talk about it, the more I feel that the Whitebeard Pirates are too strong. Such a bad war command can actually let them snatch Ace out. I don’t know what to say. I can only say that there are too many unexpected factors. The navy is also embarrassing. If there was no Akainu, the navy could be disbanded on the spot.

This kind of terrible swarm-style fighting is definitely not desirable. There must be a unified command and unified dispatch. When you call for an attack, you must attack. When you call for a retreat, you must retreat. When the high-level combat power goes to fight, someone must be responsible for unified command, and it must be arranged in advance. If the commander is gone, who will take over the command? There must be no chaos. Otherwise, even if the overall strength is stronger than the opponent, it is impossible to win, not to mention that their strength is still far behind that of the World Government.

In this regard, the Beasts can be said to be the best one, because Kaido and Lily are military men, and Lily has already formulated the rules at the beginning of the establishment of the Beasts, so that everyone can be said to have memorized the rules, which has led to the fact that the people of the Beasts have no resistance to the rules.

Although the battles are usually chaotic, as long as the leader gives an order, it will definitely stop, and no one will be dissatisfied.

The second place is Golden Lion. Yes, Golden Lion. He was a very capable pirate admiral back then. He also knew the importance of rules. Although he is no longer an iron-fisted ruler, the constraints on rules have not changed, and have even become more severe to a certain extent.

Big Mom and Whitebeard are evenly matched. Both sides have rules, but these rules are not particularly perfect, which leads to various problems in battle. The situation in the original work can be seen. In addition, many pirates are arrogant. If they do not have enough strength to lead, they will not listen. Therefore, the Four Emperors are actually very troubled by the issue of leadership.

If you are weak, it will not work. It will be difficult to convince the public. If you are too strong, it will not work either, because the strong people have to fight against the strong people of the other side. You cannot give up this fighting power and choose to let him command from the rear.

This commander, deputy commander, and even the backup commander made Kaido and others scratch their heads. In the end, they could only choose one that was not the best choice, but it was indeed the best way at this stage, that is, each pirate group recommended two or three people, and finally unified the assessment to decide the most suitable leadership team.

Of course, at this time, some people may say, why can't each group fight its own.

This idea is definitely not possible. The reason is very simple. Just like fighting in ancient times, it is indeed possible to advance in multiple directions, but there must be a supreme commander. This is not to show someone's authority, but to prevent chaos on the battlefield. Like the Song Dynasty, all positions liked to arrange multiple people to hinder each other. As a result, when it really came to the moment of decision, there was no backbone, and no one could give a final order.

In the current situation where the Four Emperors are outnumbered, they cannot divide their troops to fight each other. Otherwise, the existing disadvantage will become more exaggerated and eventually lead to defeat.

For this reason, the candidates selected by the Beasts are Archaon, Taylor and Caroline. First of all, these three are relatively calm types and will not make mistakes. In addition, Taylor has many experiences of leading people to fight and has proved his ability to lead people to fight. The generals under him are also the most disciplined.

The second is Archaon. His situation is similar. The people under him are also disciplined and will not act recklessly. Moreover, Archaon has the biggest advantage, which is his size. His size makes him easy to be seen on the battlefield. As long as the command is not defeated, the morale of the team will not be a problem most of the time. However, this is an advantage and a disadvantage, because it is easy for one's own people to see it, and it is also easy for the opponent to see it, and it is easy to be regarded as a target for killing the general and seizing the flag. As we all know, once the general is killed and the flag is seized, the blow to morale is very heavy.

Finally, Caroline. Caroline's advantage is stress resistance. As a blacksmith, Caroline's stress resistance is absolutely first-class. Ordinary people are not as good as her. The pressure of battlefield command is well known. Caroline's stress resistance helps her command well, but there are also shortcomings. That is, Caroline is a woman. Although this is not a disadvantage in the Beasts and the World, if a woman stands on his head in the Whitebeard and Golden Lion side, I am afraid that many people will have opinions.

Of course, this does not mean that the commander must come from the Beasts. The other four emperors are also crouching tigers and hidden dragons, such as Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco is not yet able to appear as a real high-level combat force, but if he is the commander, there is a great advantage, that is, the probability of killing the general and seizing the flag can be minimized. The ability of the Phoenix is ​​really good, at least there is no problem in saving his life.

And Perospero on the aunt's side, who has been the butler of the World for so many years, definitely has command ability, and it is great.

There is also the son-in-law of the Golden Lion, Tezoro. He has been in charge of Gulan Tezoro for such a long time without any problems. This is a skill in itself.

There are still many talents. As for the results, we need to wait and see. After all, the personnel are not fully in place. Now the soldiers are still training on the basics of command and prohibition, and Kaido and Lily are preparing to increase their strength.
