Chapter 675
"…Formally recommend Vice Admiral Rogers Darren to be promoted to Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!"
Kong Gu Kong's voice was deep and rich, with a kind of firmness unique to a veteran warrior, echoing in the empty meeting hall of Pangu City.
The Five Elders paused slightly, then raised their heads and looked at Kong Gu Kong calmly.
"Didn't Darren just submit his application for promotion to admiral candidate?"
The "Financial God" Nasujuro said calmly, with his samurai sword flat on his knees:
"We have agreed to the approval process, and it will be transferred to your Navy Headquarters soon."
The short-haired "Agricultural God" Pitt took a sip of tea and said casually:
"Darren is indeed very capable, but isn't it too early to be promoted to admiral at this age?"
The "Environmental God" Maz, who had a long white beard, smiled and said:
"If I remember correctly, when Sengoku was promoted to admiral, he was also in his thirties, right?"
Satan, wearing a black flat hat, nodded and said:
"Darren is too arrogant and impatient. If possible, we still hope to let him experience a few more years."
Hearing the answer of the Five Elders, Kong Ganggu was not discouraged.
The Five Elders' opposition was not very strong, so he knew that he could continue to fight for it.
So he calmed down and said in a deep voice according to the pre-prepared plan in his mind:
"The judgment of the adults is naturally correct."
"But the situation in the New World is grim, and the Navy is in need of people. A strong person is urgently needed to stabilize the morale of the army."
"Vice Admiral Rogers Darren has made outstanding achievements and meritorious service since his rise in the North Sea. Both his strength and prestige have long surpassed the level of the general candidate."
"In the process of promoting and implementing the Seven Warlords of the Sea system not long ago, he made great contributions to the government and the Navy."
"Such talents , if we only grant him the empty title of Admiral candidate, it may be difficult to convince the public, which will undermine the dignity of you gentlemen and the World Government. "
"Even if we put aside the above reasons, since Zefa resigned as Admiral, the position of Admiral of the Navy Headquarters has been vacant for a long time, and the military and political tasks are heavy. It is already difficult for Sengoku alone to handle it."
"If we can promote Vice Admiral Rogers Darren to become Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, it will solve many heavy tasks and pressures for the headquarters."
At this point, Kong Gang stared at the Five Elders with burning eyes, holding his head high and chest out, with a resounding determination.
The Five Elders were silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed at the same time.
"I didn't expect you to think highly of that kid Darren, Sora."
"It seems you are ready to come to the Holy Land to take up your post and make the final arrangements for the Navy Headquarters."
"That's great."
"Rogers Darren is indeed an excellent talent. He has been able to complete many tasks assigned by the government in a nearly perfect manner in the past."
"It's not impossible to promote him to the admiral of the Navy Headquarters in advance."
They talked one after another, calmly, and their gestures were enough to determine a person's future and even fate.
"So, do you agree?"
Steelbone Sora was delighted.
The arrangement for him to go to the Holy Land to serve as the commander-in-chief of the World Government's entire army had actually been put on the agenda long ago, but he was worried about the Navy Headquarters, so it was delayed until now.
He trusted Sengoku, his disciple and subordinate who he had trained, very much, but the world situation was changing rapidly, and Sengoku alone might not be able to support the heavy responsibility of justice.
After all, when Sengoku takes over his position as the Admiral, there will be an unprecedented three vacancies for the Admiral!
The selection of the successor to the Admiral must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Although Sakaski and Borsalino are both fully qualified in terms of qualifications and strength, their personality flaws are too obvious, and their styles are very different, making it difficult to balance the relationship between the Navy, the government and the world.
Especially now that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system has been established, the situation in the sea is even more treacherous and unpredictable. Facing the ambitious Seven Warlords of the Sea, neither Sakaski nor Borsalino is the best candidate to deal with them.
On the other hand, Darren, although he is a playboy, corrupt and decadent, is incredibly reliable in dealing with political issues, and is even more experienced than him, the Admiral of the Navy who has been immersed in the political field for many years.
As long as Darren is promoted to the position of Admiral of the Navy, he can complement Sengoku very well.
Zhan Guo is mainly responsible for all political and military affairs within the navy, and overall planning;
Daren is responsible for external expansion and maintenance of diplomatic relations, killing and attacking;In addition, Darren can also balance the relationship between Sakaski, Borsalino and Kuzan, forming a balance of mutual competition...
Sengoku and Darren cooperate, one inside and one outside, plus the rise of the "Golden Generation" headed by Darren...
Steelbone Kong has absolute confidence and certainty that he can clearly foresee that the Navy will usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity!
If all these things can be prepared, Steelbone Kong can rest assured to resign as the Marshal of the headquarters and come to the Holy Land to accept the appointment.
"Kong, you know that we always value your opinions."
The bald, mustachioed "God of Law" Vochuli Sheng smiled and said:
"Since you are so determined to promote Rogers Darren, we will naturally not object."
"After all, Rogers Darren's talents are indeed excellent, especially in some things, he is brave enough."
When he said the last sentence, a strange light flashed in his old eyes, as if he meant something.
Gang Gukong did not notice the tone of the old Star Martial God who was recognized as "resourceful", and said excitedly:
"Thank you all for your trust. I will immediately draft the promotion documents..."
"Wait."
At this time, Saint Satan, who was holding the ancient cane with both hands, suddenly smiled and spoke.
"We have a condition."
Condition?
Gang Gukong was stunned for a moment.
Before he could react, Saint Satan slowly took out a gold-plated letter from his arms and placed it on the coffee table.
"The once-in-three-year World Noble Hunting Competition is about to come. After our discussion, we decided to hold this hunting competition on Firthek Island."
Gang Gukong's pupils suddenly shrank into fine needles.
Noble Hunting Competition! ?
He, who has always been as calm as a mountain, actually showed a look of surprise and tension on his face at this time, and his mind was blank for a moment.
A name like a nightmare suddenly jumped into his mind, making him feel like he was in an ice cellar and his whole body was cold.
——God Valley!
Others may not know, but as the supreme commander of the navy, he certainly knows the essence of the God Valley incident that year, which is a hunting competition specially held for the Celestial Dragons!
All the indigenous people in the God Valley are used as "prey", allowing elite Celestial Dragons to hunt freely, compete in martial arts, and the winner can get a huge reward!
That is... a genocide of genocide!
However, since the battle of God Valley that year, the Celestial Dragons were seriously injured, and this triennial "event" has long been stopped.
But now, they are actually going to restart this inhumane "event"! ?
An unspeakable panic and uneasiness surged into Ganggukong's heart, causing a layer of fine cold sweat to seep out of his forehead.
Saint Satan looked at Kong Gang with a smile, his tone was strange and playful:
"The condition we put forward is... the security mission of this World Noble Hunting Competition will be undertaken by the future Navy Admiral Rogers Darren."
Kong Gang's eyes widened, and an extremely uneasy premonition occupied his mind.
Before he could say anything, Saint Satan sneered and added:
"By the way, I almost forgot to say that Firthsek Island... is in the North Sea."
Kong Gang was struck by lightning.
