Chapter 8 Tit for tat

When the four Darrens walked into the highest conference room of the Marshal's Mansion under the leadership of the messenger, they were immediately greeted by dozens of sharp eyes.

Except for Navy Marshal Cyborg Sora, who went to the Holy Land to report work and apply for additional military expenditures, all naval admirals with the rank of lieutenant general and above in the Navy Headquarters were present.

They sat around a huge oval conference table, each wearing a crisp black suit and a large navy cape, with serious expressions.

There is a thin document in front of everyone. It is the personal file of Darren, Sakaski and Porusalino. It records the duties that the three have performed since joining the army, and the positions they have held. His achievements and events he experienced.

This time, the Navy's internal hearing and inquiry meeting was mainly conducted with Darren, Sakaski and Porusalino.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about Sakaski and Porusalino. The two of them are rear admirals of the Navy Headquarters, and are only one step away from the rank of lieutenant general.

There is no doubt about their strength. Even according to the most stringent standards, the military merits accumulated by the two of them have long been enough to promote them to lieutenant generals.

But because I was too young, I postponed it later.

And now, after this defense of Marinefando, the "monsters" of the Navy Headquarters are facing off against the legendary pirate Golden Lion. Both their reputation and merits have reached their peak, so it is logical to be promoted to Lieutenant General of the Headquarters.

As for Darren, he is younger than Sakaski, but he is the one who played the greatest role in this war. In addition, his original merits are enough to be promoted to major general, but because of Dorag The incident was put on hold.

The walls of the spacious conference room are hung with the flag of the World Government and the Seagull Flag of Justice of the Navy. At first glance, it looks full of majesty and solemnity, with an invisible sense of seriousness and oppression.

In addition to a few familiar figures, such as Mr. Zefa’s old subordinates from the previous battle against the Golden Lion, Darren also noticed some unfamiliar-looking figures in the field... looking at them with scrutiny, arrogance, and even questioning and sneer. Looking at the three of them.

‘If my guess is correct, these people should be the powerful figures in the Supervision Department of this department...’

An idea suddenly flashed through Darren's mind, and the corner of his mouth curved with interest.

In addition to the combat forces that serve as the main combat force and perform various military tasks, the Navy Headquarters also establishes civilian administrative departments, military staff departments, and discipline inspection departments.

These three departments handle various government affairs within the navy. They are mainly responsible for uploading and distributing military operations and assisting the main combat departments in military operations. They do not belong to the order of operations.

Among them, the Ethics and Discipline Inspection Department is relatively special.

This department is completely independent from other major departments and is only responsible to the Supreme Commander of the Navy - the Admiral himself. Its main function is to supervise all officers within the Navy. If any officer is found to have done something beyond the scope of his authority, he will be punished. Punishments such as warnings, impeachment and even expulsion from the military will be dealt with.

This is a "military-within-a-military" department. To put it bluntly, it is a self-supervision agency established by the Navy. Most of them are officials from the World Government who have been placed within the Navy.

Darren believes that if anyone votes against the three of them in this internal inquiry meeting, it is likely to come from these guys who are good at "stirring up".

"You are all here..."

Seeing the arrival of the three people, a smile appeared on the face of the Warring States General sitting in the main seat, he raised his head and said:

"Everyone, please take a seat. Don't be nervous."

He pointed to the position in front of the conference round table, where a three-person long table was placed, facing the people at the conference round table.

As he spoke, he gave Darren and the others a look that said, "You brats, just settle down."

A long table stood on the steps, looking like a press conference seat, to facilitate subsequent inquiries.

As Sengoku finished speaking, Sakaski took the lead in walking up the steps and sat down on the seat on the far left.

Darren turned to look at Porusalino, who smiled and raised his hand to signal Darren to go first.

Darren smiled and walked directly up to the information desk without giving in. He sat down in the center seat.

In the end, Porusalino also sat in the far right position.

The three of them faced the many senior navy officials below, and faced their friendly, encouraging, scrutinizing, or questioning gazes with different expressions on their faces.

Then,

In the extremely serious atmosphere of the conference room, they made exactly the same move.

——They all crossed their legs!

Tit for tat!

"..." The smile on Zeng Guo's face suddenly solidified.

"..." Staff Officer He covered his face in pain.

"..." Zefa's mouth twitched crazily.

Garp enthusiastically took out a pack of senbei.

Sitting in the auditorium next to the wall, Kuzan's eyes shone brightly and he murmured to himself: "It's so cool..."

Seeing the unscrupulous posture of the three Darrens, the officials of the Naval Discipline Inspection Department frowned at the same time, and their eyes became evil.

'These brats are really as domineering as the rumors say...'

'What a bunch of impolite brats...'

‘Do they really think our inspectorate can’t control them? ’

The officials of the Supervision Department looked at each other, and similar thoughts emerged in their minds at the same time.

It is true that the talents of the three navy brats in front of them are very good, but these officials are all serving the world government, and their eyes are higher than the top. The "monsters" of the navy... are not very important to them. Portion.

"Ahem... It seems that our heroes who protected Marinefando have not fully recovered from their injuries. They are probably tired after walking from the military hospital."

Warring States forced a smile on his face and tried to smooth things over for the three of them.

"Really, but I feel that I have fully recovered..."

Porusalino said with a smile, took off his black round hat and lit a cigarette for himself.

"Me too."

Darren smiled openly, lit a cigar without any scruples, and passed one to Sakaski next to him.

"I can go to sea on missions at any time."

Sakaski took the cigar and bit it in his mouth. His hands wearing black leather gloves emitted astonishing heat and lit the cigar with an indifferent expression.

The three of them sat there puffing away smoke, looking down at the naval officers below, their bodies vaguely exuding a terrifying aura.

The expressions of the officials in the Supervision Department froze at the same time, and they immediately turned to look at Warring States and Zefa.

glare.

Warring States opened his mouth: "..."

The corners of Zefa's mouth twitched and he looked away.

Thank you for everything.
