Chapter 627: Division, factional conflicts break out! (Two in one)

The New Navy's plan to conquer Beehive Island was implemented very smoothly. Although there was an episode like Blackbeard, it did not affect the New Navy's overall plan.

With the deaths of Wang Zhi and a group of Beehive Island cadres, the conquest has officially entered its final stage. On the Xinhai side, Zefa came forward and invited newspapers and media owned by Morgans to report the destruction of Beehive Island.

It is expected that the influence of the new navy will be strengthened in this way.

The effect of this approach was also very direct. As newspapers published a large number of real-life photos of Beehive Island, it soon caused shock in the world.

Under the leadership of Wang Zhi, Beehive Island became one of the four emperors' forces. It was no longer the low-key pirate group it once was. Naturally, their notoriety had spread throughout the world.

The destruction of such a large pirate group undoubtedly shocked the public, not to mention that the force that accomplished this was the new navy, which was now slightly weaker in the new world.

During the period of time when Tsukuni Enichi was away, the New Navy suffered from enemies from both sides. First, the resurgence of Beehive Island affected the prestige of the New Navy. Then, the Red-haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates led by Kozuki Oden rose successively. Young pirates who regard the admiral as a stepping stone to the new navy.

In recent years, the overall strategy of the New Navy has actually been to shrink inward, and it has been trying its best to avoid direct conflicts with other large forces of comparable strength in order to maintain the stability of the New Navy.

It is precisely because of the contractionary policy of the New Navy that the people feel that the New Navy is no longer good. It has fallen from the terrifying existence that once had the hope of suppressing pirates to an "ordinary" power.

But after the Battle of Beehive Island, such thoughts in the minds of the people should have disappeared.

Before the large-scale operation of the new navy, ordinary people had not received any relevant news at all. And when the new navy deliberately spread the news, it actually destroyed Beehive Island, which was also a force of the four emperors.

Having done such a big thing quietly, everyone needs to refresh their view of the new navy and re-evaluate its current strength.

The person who was most surprised by the sudden increase in the power of the new navy was not the pirates in the new world, but Marine Ford's naval headquarters.

Warring States, who had regained the position of marshal, immediately held an internal high-level meeting after learning the news, and called all senior officials above the lieutenant general level to the conference room to discuss how to deal with the increasingly powerful new navy.

To prepare for a rainy day, Warring States knew his old friend very well. Now that the new navy no longer hides its capabilities and bides its time, after attacking Beehive Island, the new navy may soon make new big moves.

Zefa is not a moderate leader in the traditional sense. He is not that kind of person in his heart. Otherwise, Zefa would not leave his job as the chief instructor of the headquarters and go to the New Navy to lead the "unorganized sand".

From the perspective of the Warring States Period, the new navy's attack on Honeycomb Island, which was also an imperial power, was actually sending a signal to their naval headquarters.

Marlene Ford.

There was dead silence in the conference room. After Brannew distributed the latest information about the new navy to the participating generals, he also used the video phone bug to play some relevant information about the Honeycomb Island battlefield.

That's right, there is relevant information about the Beehive Island battlefield!

The Navy Headquarters has not done anything in recent years. Although some of the chess pieces placed in the New Navy in the early years have completely lost contact, someone has finally successfully lurked in the New Navy. Although it remained silent for a long time, as the chess pieces lurked for longer, the contact with the navy headquarters finally became closer.

Peacock

General Staff of the Navy Headquarters, granddaughter of Lieutenant General He.

This female navy member who joined the New Navy at the same time as Smoker and others has now grown into a lieutenant colonel of the New Navy and participated in the New Navy's war against Honeycomb Island.

It's just that she was not a member of the Sharp Knife Force and did not go to the battlefield on Honeycomb Island at the beginning of the war. Naturally, she also did not witness Ji Guoyuan's actions. She could only look at Beehive Island from a distance from the boat and take some distant photos.

Is the information that Peacock sent back to the Navy Headquarters useful? In fact, it is of limited use, but if it is not useful at all, then it is not that bad.

At least the navy's intelligence personnel analyzed a lot of useful information from various long-range photos.

After Brannew quickly introduced some of the current high-level combat capabilities of the new navy, Sengoku also stood up and took over the conversation:

"Currently, the information we can confirm is that the news about the destruction of Beehive Island published in the newspapers is true!"

"We have absolutely reliable intelligence sources and there is no need to doubt the authenticity of the incident."

"I called you here today to discuss with you how our naval headquarters should deal with the huge changes that may occur in the future."

Warring States walked to the front of the stage, turned around, and spoke to the generals in the conference room. And his words also caused a lot of discussion in the originally silent conference room.

New Navy.

This is a huge stone weighing on the hearts of everyone at the Navy Headquarters.

The relationship between them and the new navy is a bit delicate. Sometimes even the senior officials of the headquarters wonder what the world would be like today if Tsukuni Enichi had not left the navy headquarters. The same look.

Will it be worse than now?

Probably not. The new navy established by Jigokuenichi is extremely powerful. This is an organization established after Jikokuenichi broke away from the endorsement of the Navy Headquarters.

If Enichi Tsukuni had been in the Navy headquarters, their current strength should be able to overwhelm any pirate force in the world. The peace that the people long for may have already arrived.

But to put it bluntly, all of this is just the thoughts of these officers in the headquarters.

Ideals are ideals, reality is reality.

"If you have any ideas, just tell me."

"Everyone speaks freely behind closed doors."

Sengoku's words also set the tone for this meeting. Seeing this, Porusalino, who had never been one to stand out, was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic today. He raised his hand seemingly lazily and looked at Sengoku. .

"Porusalino, what do you think?"

When Sengoku saw that Porusalino, the "non-stick pan", was acting uncharacteristically today, there was a look of surprise on his face.

"The main purpose of the new navy's actions this time should be to deter the pirates who are ready to make trouble in the new world, right?"

"Ever since Ji Guoyuanyi disappeared, their life has not been easy. In a place like the New World, their kind of power is the most conspicuous."

"I don't want to look at it. We at the Navy Headquarters just need to do what we should do. Even if the other party is demonstrating, the target will not be us."

Porusalino's tone was lazy when he said this, but what was a little surprising was that, although he was obviously leaning towards the appeasement policy, he was recognized by many generals at this moment, and there was a loud noise in the conference room. Some echoes.

Although Porusalino is not the kind of person who likes to seize political power, he is still a naval admiral. Even if he does not deliberately manage it, he still has his own team and power.

In this high-level meeting, there were not a few who stood with Porusalino.

Most of them came from the former naval academy and were Zefa's disciples. After Zefa left the headquarters and joined the New Navy, there was actually a situation similar to "Navy Headquarters and New Navy Headquarters" among Marlene Ford. We are a family, there is no need to be hostile to each other."

Behind the scenes, it is simply impossible to say that there is no "big leader" secretly fueling the situation.

Among all the people in the Navy Headquarters who have enough influence to do such a thing, Porusalino, a practitioner of "ambiguous justice", is actually the most likely to do it.

Sengoku is a veteran, and promoting such things is actually not conducive to the unity of the headquarters for him. On the contrary, it will exacerbate the divisions among the navy headquarters.

As for the others, Sakaski is a standard hard-liner and hawk; while Magellan, the former warden of Impel Down who had just become an admiral a few years ago, still has a weak foundation and wants to "moisten things quietly" to do this Things are basically impossible.

In today's meeting, Porusalino's position is very eye-catching.     Is this tantamount to him jumping to the stage?

What induced Porusalino to make such a decision at this time?

Is it because of the new navy's sudden tough tactics? Or is it because of the change that happened in the Holy Land Marinjoa some time ago?

Regarding the devastating blow suffered by the unknown strongman in the holy land of Marinjoa, there was no way for the Five Old Stars to hide it from top figures like Seng Guo and others.

Some things are also circulating in small circles.

The generals present speculated that the clarity of Porusalino's position may be related to what happened in Marinjoa some time ago.

At this moment, except for some of the officers who agreed, everyone else's attention was focused on Porusalino, as if they wanted to learn more information from his words.

In front of the stage, when Warring States heard the words, he showed neither strong opposition nor support on his face, but his indifferent expression gave him a feeling of being aloof.

The atmosphere in this internal meeting at the Navy Headquarters became a little strange at this moment.

"Boom!!!"

At this moment, a muffled sound rang directly in the conference room. Sakaski jumped up and glared at Porusalino beside him with anger, and said angrily:

"Hey! Porusalino, what do you mean?"

"Do you think our Navy Headquarters can just let it go?!"

"Do you know what the ultimate goal of those in the New Navy is?! It is to overthrow the existing order of this world!"

"After they defeat Beehive Island, they will definitely find ways to clean up the pirates in the New World."

"What happens after it's done? What will they do next? You can't think of it, right?"

"What is the difference between our naval headquarters letting things go and directly supporting the enemy at this time?"

Sakaski's ability to become a general is not only due to his skills and strength, but also his strategic vision. In his eyes, the next trend of the new navy is actually equivalent to a bright star.

Of course, Sakaski is not the only one who has seen through this kind of thing. Lieutenant General He, for example, has some guesses about the new navy's plan. The reason why he has not revealed it is because he has his own concerns.

"Don't get excited——"

"General Sakaski."

"Don't just object! Instead, tell us what our navy headquarters should do?"

"While the new navy is clearing out pirates in the new world, will our navy headquarters send troops to attack them?"

"Is there something seriously wrong?"

"The New Navy is our enemy, so are the pirates our allies?"

"Isn't it better to sit back and watch the fight?"

"Marshal Sengoku, there are only a few top fighters in the New Navy."

"I don't think they have the ability to wipe out all the pirates in the New World."

"Although Beehive Island is crowned with the title of the Four Emperors, the Great Pirate King has always been a strong man from the last era, and he will decline as he gets older."

"And his crew are all the remnants of the Rocks Pirates back then. The Rocks Pirates are really The strong ones have long died, and the old ones are old. The victory of the new navy is not necessarily because of their strength. "

"Or, the new navy is strong, but not strong enough to break out of the new world and threaten the first half of the Grand Line or even the four seas!"

"Compared to the new navy, I think pirates and the revolutionary army are the focus of our navy at this stage!"

It is rare for Borsalino to say so much in an internal meeting to express his views and positions, and his words not only won the support of his fans, but also attracted the recognition of some other generals.

How to say it? If you really look at the problem from the perspective given by Borsalino, you will find that what he said actually makes sense.

Beehive Island can be regarded as a place full of strong people, but if you have to compare it with the new navy, it is really a little bit worse.

It is not surprising that Wang Zhi will be defeated and Beehive Island will be wiped out.

Even in the Navy's intelligence system, Red-haired Shanks' Iron Wall Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates are much stronger than Hive.

"You!!"

Sakaski was a little speechless for a while. The pirates and the revolutionary army led by Dragon really made the Navy Headquarters exhausted. The Navy Headquarters may be able to fight a big war, but their current strength may only be able to withstand a big war.

The opponent of this big war can be pirates or the revolutionary army, but it is best not the new navy.

From their standpoint, attacking the new navy is indeed not a high priority.

"Okay, Sakaski, calm down first. I understand what you mean."

As he said, Sengoku pressed his hand towards Sakaski, signaling him to calm down. As he said, he looked at Magellan.

The two admirals have expressed their opinions, and Sengoku will naturally not favor one over the other.

Noticing that Sengoku was looking at him, Magellan, who was wearing a mask to prevent the toxins from being breathed out from causing trouble to others, coughed lightly. Just as he was about to speak, his stomach made a "gurgling" sound.

"."

"Marshal, I think what General Borsalino said makes sense. Compared with those people in the New World, the pirates and the revolutionary army active in the first half of the Grand Line and in the four seas are more worthy of our attention."

After adding a sentence, Magellan apologized and hurriedly got up and left the meeting room.

Seeing this, everyone in the meeting room looked at each other, and Sengoku's forehead had a black line, looking helpless.

Magellan is good in everything, loyal, upright, strong and not forming cliques, but the side effects of the devil fruit really affect outsiders' perception of him.

The three admirals expressed their opinions one after another, and then the vice admirals in the conference room began to speak freely. There were all kinds of things, some supporting Borsalino, some seeing the threat of the new navy and standing from the perspective of the world government and determined to oppose the new navy.

In short, the conference room became a vegetable market, the generals' opinions were divided, and there was no sign of reaching a consensus. Some generals with different opinions even quarreled more and more fiercely, and there were signs that they regarded each other as "traitors".

Zhan Guo watched this scene quietly, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
