Chapter 172 I came at the wrong time
"I am humble and stupid. When I first came to the headquarters, I still don't understand many things.
Darren replied with a smile that was spotless.
Cyborg Kong:......
You even dare to kill Tianlong people, but you still say you don’t understand?
Warring States wanted to test you before, but they bypassed you abruptly. You also said that you are not familiar with the situation at the Navy Headquarters?
He took out a cigar from the cigar box angrily and threw it to Darren.
"You are really a born politician, I won't go around in circles with you."
Cyborg Kong put a cigar in his mouth and lit it, and said slowly:
"After these two killings of Tianlong people, the senior government officials' doubts and distrust of our navy have become deeper and deeper."
Darren was about to light the cigar, but when he heard Cyborg Kong's words, he added in time:
"No, just once."
"The specific cause of the attack on the Tianlong people in the North Sea has been found out... The official ship on which Lord Hildes Saint was was attacked by a large sea king-like creature, and he died unfortunately."
"I personally deeply apologize and express my condolences."
"...Okay, okay, you said a Neptune-type attack is a Neptune-type attack."
Cyborg Kong waved his hands with a speechless expression, took a long puff of cigar, and then continued after a few seconds:
"All in all, the distrust in the government is at its highest point since I became marshal of the navy."
"As for the specifics of whether the government will send people to investigate this incident, to be honest with you, I don't know."
"But what is certain is that the promotion plan, which had been basically finalized, has been temporarily suspended."
"Promotion plan?" Darren was a little curious.
"Yes,"
Cyborg Kong nodded,
"Originally, according to the plan, I was supposed to go to the Holy Land Marie Joa within the next three months to assume the position of 'Commander-in-Chief of the World Government's Armies.' Sengoku would also logically take over my position and serve as the Marshal of the Navy Headquarters. .”
"But now because of what happened to Dolag, the confirmed promotion plan has been suspended."
It turns out to be like this!
Darren suddenly felt enlightened.
In fact, before that, he had heard more or less rumors that Sengoku was about to be promoted from the position of general of the headquarters to marshal of the navy.
At that time, he was somewhat confused.
After all, Darren vaguely remembered that the timeline for Sengoku's promotion to Navy Admiral was not that early.
You must know that during the O'Hara incident after the great pirate era began, the person who initiated the demon-slaying order was the Warring States Period, and he was still a general of the headquarters at the time.
Thinking about it now, everything made sense.
It is very likely that the Warring States Period was questioned by the government about his leadership ability because of Dorag's "defection" incident. As a result, he could only maintain the rank of admiral for a long time and was unable to be promoted to the position of marshal.
But this is normal.
Dolag is no ordinary rear admiral.
The bloodline, identity and symbolic meaning he represents have gone beyond the scope of a naval admiral to some extent.
And such a "son of a hero", who had high hopes in the entire navy, openly killed a world noble Celestial Dragon!
This is definitely an extremely heavy blow to the navy as a whole.
"This is only temporary. It won't take long. When all doubts disappear over time, the world government will forget about this matter."
Darren said with a smile on his face:
"After all, the government also needs our navy as their main combat force."
"Before that, I would like to congratulate Marshal Kong on his promotion in advance."
Cyborg Kong looked at Darren and suddenly laughed:
"Don't be so optimistic. This time, it's not just me and Warring States who are implicated."
Darren's smile faltered.
? ? ?
I only heard Cyborg Kong smiling and saying:
"Although your battle report is beautifully written and there is nothing wrong with it, but no matter what, this time the Tianlong people were killed in Beihai."
"The two consecutive killings of Tianlong people occurred in Beihai...under the jurisdiction of you, the 'King of Beihai'."
"So I regret to tell you that your originally determined promotion plan has also been terminated."
Having said this, he also emphasized something in a wicked way:
"Of course, this is only temporary. It won't take long. When all doubts disappear over time, the world government will forget about this matter."
Darren:…
Okay, ginger is still spicy.
It seems that the 300 million Baileys are less.
If I had known, I would have asked for more.
That is the rank of rear admiral at the Navy Headquarters!
How many sailors cannot cross this threshold in their lifetime!
It is also the career ceiling for many naval officers during their entire military careers!
So it was delayed.
Originally, Darren thought that after being promoted to major general, he would be able to exhale and raise his eyebrows in front of Sakaski and Porusalino, and be on equal footing... and no longer have to pretend to salute his "superiors".
Now it's fine, the duck has flown away.
Damn Dolag, I should have known that kick would be harder...
Do you have to do it in Beihai?
It's not enough to wipe your butt, now I have to take the blame.
Thinking of this, Darren said helplessly:
"I am willing to accept any arrangement from this department."
But having said that, he didn't feel much.
The position of major general in the headquarters is not painful to him.
"Okay, I'll give you a heads up."
Cyborg Kong nodded, glanced at the night outside the window, and said with a smile:
"Let's stop talking here and go back quickly. The woman from Wano Country is probably already waiting in a hurry."
When he said the last sentence, the old man deliberately winked at Darren with a teasing tone.
"Okay, Marshal Kong."
Darren raised his hand in salute.
"Well, go ahead, happy holidays, Darren boy."
Cyborg waved his hand in vain.
…
Navy Headquarters, Officers' Family Home.
Darren looked at the lanterns hanging on the porch in front of the courtyard and the warm light emanating from the courtyard walls, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
He thought for a while, took out a handkerchief and wiped his stained face, and took off the bandage on his body.
He patted his face, trying not to look so tired, and put a smile on his face.
Although he considers himself a scum, for the gentle Ah Shi, he doesn't want her to worry about him.
Opened the courtyard door.
"Ah Shi, I'm back, the festival is coming soon-"
Darren froze on the spot, his raised military boots frozen in mid-air.
In the living room of the house,
Two beautiful figures with completely different temperaments sat opposite each other. There was a table of delicious food in front of them, and the atmosphere was a bit off.
"Husband, you are back."
When Tianyue heard the voice, she turned her head and smiled as brightly as a flower.
The corners of Darren's mouth twitched.
"I-I came at a bad time...wait! It suddenly occurred to me that the Warring States General has something to do with me!"
"No, the Warring States General didn't look for you."
Opposite Tengetsu, Gion, who was wearing a high ponytail and a dashing temperament, looked at Darren, with a dangerous look in his eyes and a smile:
"You came just in time."
Darren:…
This line always feels wrong.

Ask for everything, thank you.
