Chapter 112
Tom frowned slightly, "It's okay to build an ordinary ship in 3 months, but yours is the highest standard..."
"How to build it, that's a question you should consider! I only look at the results! Lieutenant General Ling Bai will leave it to you first. You can discuss any ideas with him. If I find that you are perfunctory..."
Zefa's eyes gently swept over the semi-finished sea train.
"I know..." Tom whispered.
In the end, he was just an ordinary shipbuilder, and under the pressure of the admiral, he could only compromise.
"I just want the ship. I will settle any unfavorable factors that hinder your shipbuilding for you. Tomorrow there will be good wood. The requirements of some standard warships are also clearly written in the approval documents. You can build the ship with peace of mind!"
After Zefa finished speaking, he raised the "cloak of justice" and left.
Gion glanced at Ling Bai and hurried to catch up with Zefa.
"Teacher, is it appropriate to leave Ling Bai there?" Gion said worriedly.
"What's wrong with that? He's troublesome when he's drunk, so it's easier to leave him to Tom!"
Zefa said unhappily, his face falling a little bit, "That brat, if he hadn't brewed the treasure tree Adam into wine, my navy would have a powerful battleship of the level of the Or Jackson! Damn it!"
The world's hardest tree and the world's number one shipbuilder, they obviously met, but something went wrong.
Zefa became more and more depressed, and even got angry when he looked at Ling Bai.
As for the safety issue?
With Ling Bai's strength, Tom is not a threat at all, just leave him there, and put some pressure on this fish man.
"Teacher, do you think Tom will really build a ship seriously? If he does it perfunctorily, will you really destroy the sea train?" Gion asked again.
Hearing this, Zefa raised the corner of his mouth.
"Tom's shipbuilding skills are beyond doubt. As long as he agrees to build a ship, he will definitely be serious. Otherwise, he can't be the world's number one shipbuilder! But... do I really look like a bad guy?"
"Anyway, the two young men behind me are scared and sweating..."
"Hahahaha! Then I am a bad guy! As long as Tom can build a ship for Ling Bai, what's wrong with me being a bad guy for once?"
Zeffa said calmly, then laughed and left.
Chapter 140 Marshal Candidate (Please give me flowers!)
Early the next morning.
Zeffa came to the shipbuilding company where he entrusted the warship.
"Admiral Zefa, you are supervising in person..." The company boss was completely unexpected.
It was beyond his expectation that Zefa could come and deliver the ship in person, and he didn't expect that he would come to see it today.
When did the navy care so much about the ship?
"I'll just take a look. You can do whatever you need to do. Don't worry about me!"
Zeffa didn't know why he came here.
Ever since the incident of the ship spirit on the wreck island, his admiral-class warship has been lingering in his mind, and he often dreams about it.
Pulu Pulu——
At this time, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Zeff took it out from his arms and saw that it was Tsuru.
"You still have the nerve to call me?"
After Zefa answered the phone, he scolded Tsuru directly, "You asked Gion to drag me onto the ship while I was drunk and leave G-1. You also used such a despicable method?"
"We sailed for more than a month before. Why don't you just treat it as a vacation? The water-water meat of the Seven Water City is very famous. Have you eaten it?" Tsuru greeted.
"Okay, don't chat about family matters. You never make meaningless calls! If you have anything to say, please tell me!"
Zeff knows Tsuru inside and out. He would never call so early if there was nothing to do.
"Marshal Kong is recovering in the Holy Land and has been in a coma until now. He is temporarily unable to continue to be competent for the position of the Navy Marshal..."
As soon as Tsuru said this, Zefa suddenly felt that his heart missed a beat.
On the one hand, he was surprised that Kong had been in a coma for so long with his physical fitness, but on the other hand, Tsuru's later sentence "Kong can't continue to serve as the Navy Marshal" made him frightened.
"Has it been decided?" Zefa said nervously.
Although he tried his best to keep calm, if you listen carefully, you can still find that Zefa's voice has a slight tremor.
He did not answer directly, but said: "Zefal, you really should thank Ling Bai..."
"What?!"
Zefal's eyes suddenly bulged, and a burst of unbelievable joy suddenly came over him.
Could it be that...
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that the higher-ups asked you to become a marshal!" He said.
Wow——
A basin of cold water was poured down, instantly washing away Zefa's joy that had just risen.
"Can you say everything you want to say at once!!!" Zefa said slightly annoyed.
He was playing him like a monkey by keeping him in suspense like this.
"I don't want you to get too excited... Next, you have to listen carefully!"
He paused, then said, "The higher-ups have ordered that from today onwards, you and Zhan Guo will officially lead the navy as 'marshal candidates'. Within one year, whoever does better will be the future marshal of the navy!"
"Marshal candidate?"
It was the first time that Zefa heard of this identity.
You know, this is different from what they usually say about who is the successor!
Coming from He's mouth, it means that "Marshal Candidate" is an official title, a title that officially exists in name.
"I know you have a lot to ask, but it's hard to explain it in a few words over the phone. Go back to G-1 quickly!"
Maybe there were too many things involved, Crane didn't plan to talk more in the Den Den Mushi, but asked Zefa to talk in detail after returning to G-1, "Finally, I have to congratulate you, Zefa!"
"Congratulations on what?"
"You finally achieved your goal. From now on, you will have the highest power in the navy!"
After that, Crane hung up the phone directly.
Zeff stood there blankly with the Den Den Mushi.
The last sentence of Crane echoed in his mind again and again!
The highest power!
Zeff thought for a long time...
Suddenly, he understood!
"Is this what the Marshal Candidate means?!"
The Marshal Candidate is completely different from his current status as a Navy Admiral. It is a status that has truly reached the highest peak of the Navy in terms of power. He can freely mobilize troops, command operations, arrange layouts, formulate strategies, etc.!
And the most important thing is that no one in the Navy can veto it!
Zeff can arrange the Navy to act completely according to his own wishes whatever he wants!
"Zengoku's power should be the same as mine, but..." Zefa's mouth corners slightly raised.
When Kong was about to be promoted to the commander-in-chief of the entire army, most of the marshal-level power had been delegated to Zhan Guo.
In contrast, Zhan Guo just returned to the starting point, while he finally reached a position where he could make great achievements!
"However, two leaders are a taboo... Aren't the higher-ups afraid of our internal fighting..." Zefa thought.
But on second thought, Crane probably also has very transcendent power, playing the role of balance and supervision!
In this way, a stable iron triangle is formed in the navy, rather than a simple situation of two tigers fighting each other.
"The higher-ups will probably send people to monitor our every move at all times. I mean, I have recently noticed a few people with strange whereabouts. It seems that they are from the CP organization..."
After hanging up the phone, Zefa thought a lot.
Even thought of things far in the past.
"Fortunately, Zhan Guo was transferred to G-5, which made it seem that neither he nor I were qualified to be marshals..." Zefa nodded secretly.
When the higher-ups appoint marshals, they don't care about the details in the middle. They only look at the results, and the results are often the surface layer.
As for what kind of people Zefa and Zhan Guo are, the higher-ups don't care at all, and they don't have time to care.
Finally, Zefa linked the whole process together and found that whether Zhan Guo was demoted or Kong got into trouble, it had a huge relationship with Ling Bai.
"He is right. I can have the highest power in the navy, and I really have to thank Ling Bai..."
Zefa thought, but couldn't help but feel funny.
It's a pity that flowers don't bloom when you plant them intentionally, but it's a pity that willows grow into shades when you plant them unintentionally. Ling Bai's nonsense has helped him rise to the top.
He got what he had been trying to get for decades in just over a month.
"Then the next step is to find a way to jail the position of marshal!" The smile on Zefa's mouth became more and more intense.
Zhan Guo is a dove, advocating slow erosion, choosing the right time, and never fighting a battle that he is not sure of. Although it makes sense, the process is too slow.
The one-year deadline set by the higher-ups is the time to see who can make great contributions.
For those who are eager for quick success, it is simply too much for his appetite as a hawk!
"It seems that it's time to get that thing!"
Zefa narrowed his eyes, and a series of plans emerged in his mind.
At this moment, Gion ran over in a panic, and when he saw Zefa, he seemed to have found his backbone.
"What's wrong?"
Zefa motioned Gion to calm down.
"Teacher, please come with me! Ling Bai and Tom are fighting!" Gion said in a panic.
"What did you say?!"
Zefa's eyes bulged.
Even if Tom had some strength, how could he withstand Ling Bai's beating.
It's not easy to find the world's number one shipbuilder to build a ship. What if he was beaten to death for no reason?
"Smelly boy! What are you doing drunkenly again!"
Zefa didn't dare to neglect it, and quickly followed Gion to the wreckage island.
Chapter 141 It's you who are hindering my shipbuilding (please give me flowers!)
The two stepped on the tops of the houses in the Seven Water City and rushed quickly.
Soon, they arrived at the wreckage island.
When he opened his eyes, the best wood had been delivered, and behind the wood, Ling Bai and Tom were pulling the two ends of a very thick wood block, like tug-of-war.
But how could Tom be Ling Bai's opponent in tug-of-war...
Ling Bai pulled hard and threw the wood directly up, and Tom was thrown directly into the sea.
Plop!
A huge wave bloomed!
"Robber the wood? Do you want to turn the wood into wine again?"
Zefa's mouth twitched wildly!
Is the wine made from wood more delicious? Ling Bai is actually addicted to brewing!
He did not dare to neglect it immediately, and quickly used shaving to instantly move to the pile of wood.
When he found Zefa, Bingshan complained immediately:
"You only gave us a three-month shipbuilding deadline, and the time is already very tight. Why do you leave a drunkard to mess up?!"
Before he finished speaking, Franky came over again, with an equally uncomfortable look on his face, and said to Zefa:
