Chapter 679: The old coach’s decision! (Two in one)

Sakaski's words shocked all the navy in the conference room.

As expected of the most resolute man in the navy, even when facing such a thing, Sakaski showed the same characteristics as his personality.

Whether to negotiate with the new navy represented by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi or to gather all the forces of the Navy Headquarters to attack Wan Guo.

No matter which of these two options the Navy Headquarters chooses, it is likely to bring disaster to itself.

The Celestial Dragons will never allow the Navy Headquarters to compromise with the new navy. Everyone present understands this because such a thing has happened once before.

Before Tsugakuin Yoshiichi disappeared, the new navy played a trick of "small clan entering the big clan" and tried to achieve comprehensive control over the Navy Headquarters, but that plan also failed with Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's disappearance in the Kingdom of Alabasta.

And after that, the Celestial Dragons who regained control of the Navy Headquarters also carried out a major purge in the Navy Headquarters.

Some generals who leaned towards the new navy were cleared out of the navy headquarters. Perhaps only the top-level and unclear-positioned people of Borsalino's faction could continue to work in the navy headquarters.

And those dismissed navy officers were not able to live their civilian lives in peace. These people encountered various accidents in just a few years, or disappeared, or died, and there were almost no people who could be contacted.

Everyone understood that this was the consequence of betraying the Celestial Dragons.

No one knew what kind of trump card the Celestial Dragons, who had ruled the world for nearly 800 years, had. When Tsugakuin Yoshiichi entered the navy headquarters, everyone thought that Tsugakuin Yoshiichi had won, but the final result still allowed the Celestial Dragons to turn the tables.

This time, Tsugakuin Yoshiichi made a comeback, and the power of the new navy was stronger than before.

But even so, no one dared to say that the new navy would definitely defeat the Celestial Dragons.

The foundation of eight hundred years is not something that ordinary people can imagine.

"Sakaski, do you have anything else to say?"

Sakaski gave two options, even Zhan Guo didn't know which one to choose. Even if he was known as a wise general, he couldn't make a decision immediately on such a matter.

After a long pause, Zhan Guo asked Sakaski.

Compared with Borsalino's one-sided stance, Sakaski's position was always more positive.

"Marshal, I think we must make a decision quickly."

"Four of the Five Elders died at the hands of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. This is definitely a golden opportunity for the New Navy."

"Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and the Celestial Dragons are real enemies. He will never give up easily."

"If I am not mistaken, the New Navy should have started large-scale operations at this time and are preparing to attack the Holy Land."

"From our standpoint, we must mobilize now and strengthen the defense of the Sabaody Archipelago."

"If, Marshal, you think we have other options, I think when Tsugakuni Yoshiichi takes action, we can also go to the Holy Land together!"

Sakaski's words were shocking, and his words also caused a series of gasps in the conference room. No one expected Sakaski to be so bold that he dared to say such words openly in such an occasion.

These words were more explicit than Borsalino's before. If Borsalino was just a wavering man with unclear position, then Sakaski's second half of the words were more outrageous than Borsalino.

"General Sakaski, be careful with your words!"

At this time, even Crane couldn't help but whisper and remind him.

However, Sakaski looked normal and continued:

"Isn't it?!"

"The contradiction between the New Navy and the World Government has long been irreconcilable. For our Navy Headquarters, do we really have many choices?"

"If our position is firm, then we should stand firmly on the side of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons!"

"Knowing that Tsugokuni Yoshiichi has killed the Celestial Dragons, we should do our best to fight the New Navy and Tsugokuni Yoshiichi, even if we die."

"But what about now?!"

"A large group of people gathered here to discuss how to deal with Tsugokuni Yoshiichi and his new Navy!"

"Doesn't this just show that our position is wavering?"

"Since there is no way to firmly support the World Government, then we should just stand on the side of the New Navy completely!"

"If you are a fence-sitter, you will not be able to please both sides. You will not be able to get the complete trust of the World Government or the New Navy."

"Do you think that after letting people like Tsugukuni Yoshiichi take over the Navy Headquarters, you wavering people can continue to sit in your current position?"

At the end, Sakaski's voice became much louder, and his last sentence was to question everyone present.

As Sakaski said, in this matter, the Navy Headquarters cannot maintain the so-called neutrality.

If you really do that, when the New Navy and the World Government decide the winner, none of them will be able to stay in their current position.

Even if the other party's means are a little bit harsher, these senior executives may have to be liquidated.

They have to choose sides. They have no way out of the Navy Headquarters.

Regardless of the fact that their navy headquarters still has several general-level powerhouses, looking at the entire world, they can be regarded as the top force. However, in the game between the New Navy and the World Government, they are the relatively weak side.

and

When Sakaski made these words clear in a high-level meeting, the time left for Sengoku to make a choice became even shorter.

Don't underestimate the Tianlong people. Even if their strength is greatly reduced, they still have a lot of informants in the navy headquarters.

In today's conference room, although no one showed anything unusual, Warring States knew that after the meeting, anything said by everyone in the conference room would be known to the Tianlong people in the Holy Land.

It would be fine if the headquarters had made a decision before this, but if not, I don’t know what kind of methods the Tianlong people would have waiting for them.

As Sakaski finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence.

Everyone had already anticipated the possible consequences, and everyone's face became very ugly.

Porusalino is probably the only one who can remain relaxed.

His strength gave him the confidence, and unlike others, he had already made his choice, so he didn't feel entangled at all when facing this kind of problem.

After that, several lieutenant generals expressed their opinions one after another.

Some of them advocate firmly standing on the side of the world government, and use the banners of "the government represents justice" and "twenty kings created the world", hoping that their ideas can get support from more people.

And some people, even after listening to Sakaski's words, hope that the Navy Headquarters can think "cautiously". This is the so-called "procrastination" tactic. Think carefully until the new navy takes action, think carefully until the new navy takes action. and the World Government to decide the winner.

They felt that the Navy Headquarters was powerful and determined that the Tianlong people would never do anything to harm their Navy Headquarters at this critical moment, forcing the Navy Headquarters to the opposite side.

By the time the World Government and the New Navy decide the winner, generals of their age may have reached the age of retirement.

No matter who wins the final victory, I'm afraid they won't be able to settle the blame.

Among the people present, the younger ones were nearly 40 years old, and the older ones were sixty or seventy years old. They really didn’t have to worry about things “beyond their lives”. The trouble was for the young people who came after them. They also believed in it. The wisdom of those who came after us.

In fact, no results can be achieved by discussing such a major matter at a meeting like this.

Warring States actually knew this very well in his heart.

But he still chose to hold a high-level meeting. The reason was actually very simple. He wanted to see the voice of different factions in the Navy Headquarters and the extent of the conflicts between them.

Judging from the meeting process, the voice of Tianlong's die-hard supporters is obviously much weaker.

And this result was more or less beyond the Warring States Period's expectations.

He thought that after the purges in the past few years, the number of die-hard supporters of the Tianlong people would increase, but what he didn't expect was that when his personal power reached the level of a top lieutenant general, he could already be regarded as a system builder. .

It is true that some of these people got to the position by holding the Celestial Dragon's lap, but after reaching this position, they will have their own ideas and will not be willing to continue to be the vassals of the Celestial Dragon.

No one wants to have a wild father on their head.

Celestial Dragons? Creator? Twenty kings?

In the face of rights, these things are meaningless.

Not to mention these powerful and powerful generals, even an ordinary person would "make good use of it" if given even a little bit of power.

This meeting lasted for several hours, from noon to evening.

However, apart from a quarrel between people from different factions, there was no substantial result.

However, Sengoku was not disappointed. After the meeting, Tsuru, the two most senior generals in the navy, stayed behind to discuss countermeasures in private.

Just as the top brass of the Navy were racking their brains for the Navy's future.

The young people at the Navy Headquarters are indeed training and living as usual.

Sabo and Ace got together after returning from Fish-Man Island, and Sabo also happily talked to Ace about everything about Luffy.

From Luffy's beautiful pirate ship to Luffy's interesting friends, Ace would listen carefully as long as there was a topic about Luffy.

This younger brother has long been one of the people that Ace and Sabo care about the most in the world.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

After the topic about Luffy ended, Sabo also ignored Magellan's silence order and mentioned to Ace the battle between Enichi Tsukuni and the Five Old Stars that he had seen on Fish-Man Island.

Ace was very excited when he heard that Enichi Tsukuni, who had been missing for many years, had reappeared. However, when he heard that four of the Five Old Stars had died in the hands of Enichi Tsukuni, Ace's excitement also followed. It subsided and instead became worried.

He realized that the world was going to be in chaos

Ace, who has received a formal education in the Navy, like his father, can be said to have "the world at heart." It's just that Roger, the Pirate King, chose to use drastic methods to break the existing world, hoping that the people would wake up on their own.

He used the great treasure to attract all dreamers and ambitious people. As long as the great treasure was not found, countless people would pursue the truth of this world.

However, Ace somewhat recognized the ideas of Sengoku and others, hoping that this world could be less turbulent.

Because any change would be accompanied by a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice.

In Ace's eyes, he knew that Yuichi Tsugaku was the one who wanted to break the existing order and create a new order.

Since his debut, Yuichi Tsugaku has caused countless casualties directly or indirectly.

Ace admires Yuichi Tsugaku and thanks Yuichi Tsugaku for his cultivation, but this does not mean that he will approve of everything Yuichi Tsugaku has done.

Everyone who can awaken the domineering color of domineering is a person with a strong sense of autonomy, and Ace is no exception.

"We must find a way to stop Mr. Tsugakushi Yoriichi from continuing his actions."

"If the World Government no longer exists, who will mediate the conflicts between countries?!"

Listening to Sabo's story, the young and passionate Ace was a little impatient. He hurriedly left the room and rushed to Sengoku's office. Sabo wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he didn't do it after all.

Night.

The door of Sengoku's office was knocked open.

Ace pushed the door open and saw Sengoku sitting behind the desk with a tired look.

"Hmm?"

"Ace, why are you here so late instead of sleeping?"

Sengoku's tone was gentle. When he faced Ace, he didn't look like he was facing other subordinates. When he spoke to Ace, his tone was like talking to his own sons and nephews, very friendly.

"Marshal, we must find a way to stop Tsugakushi Yoriichi's actions."

"If we don't do this, countless people will be affected by his actions."

As soon as he entered the door, Ace said anxiously.

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, Sengoku also uttered a sigh, looked up at Ace, and sighed after a long time:

"Has Sabo told you? That kid didn't take Magellan's order seriously at all!"

"Don't ask too much about this matter. This is not something you should care about."

"You should train your subordinates well and prepare for the conquest of the New World!"

Sengoku obviously couldn't use such words to perfunctorily answer Ace, or rather, Ace had long passed the age where he could be perfunctorily answered by such words.

"How can it be that I shouldn't care? This matter is closely related to all the navy, right?!"

"If Tsugakuin Yoshiichi is not stopped, the Navy Headquarters will have a war with the New Navy. Doesn't this have anything to do with me?!"

"I'm not a navy now?!"

Ace's tone was fierce. Among the young people in the entire navy, I'm afraid only the three brothers dared to speak to Sengoku in such a tone.

"Who told you that if we don't stop Yoshiichi Tsugakuni, our navy will have a war with his new navy?!"

"Our navy headquarters has always stood on the side of justice."

"If the new navy claims to be just, why would it have a war with us?!"

Zhan Guo put his hands behind his back, a slight smile appeared on his face, and asked slowly.

His words also made Ace look stunned.

"What does this mean?!"

"What's going on?!"

Zhan Guo's attitude was obviously beyond Ace's expectations, and his brain circuit was not enough.

"Ace, the struggles in this world will not disappear just because a certain force disappears."

"Similarly, the peace in this world does not exist just because a certain force exists."

"Whether it's the World Government or the New Navy."

"It's all the same."

"The difference is the people who hold the power."

"Do you think it's better for ordinary people if the Celestial Dragons hold the right to speak, or if the New Navy holds the right to speak?"

"Our Navy Headquarters."

"We will stand on the side that is beneficial to ordinary people."

Sengoku's eyes were deep, and in front of Ace, he did not hide anything and revealed his feelings.

Multiple choice? !

No, since the day when Garp, Steel Bone Sora and others died on the Island of Origin, he, Sengoku, has completely stood on the opposite side of the Celestial Dragons!
