Chapter 923
The cold sea breeze blew across the sea unstoppably, causing pain on people's cheeks.
The huge and majestic warship sailed on the sea, the black and heavy gun barrels were painted shiny, the hull paint was brand new, and the blue and white seagull flag representing "peace and justice" fluttered in the sea breeze, giving people an incomparable sense of oppression.
"General Zhan Guo, everything is ready!"
A young soldier rushed over and said excitedly:
"This batch of military aid funds came just in time. Not only did it pay the wages that were about to be overdue, but it also refurbished more than a dozen large warships. The equipment of the elite troops of the headquarters was also updated and replaced with the best armaments..."
"In this way, at the inauguration ceremony of the leader of the Knights of God held in the Holy Land of Mary Joa, the majesty and style of our Navy Headquarters will surely make the representatives of many member countries shine!"
While speaking, he fiddled with the black musket in his hand, as well as the brand new military uniform and military cap on his body. His back couldn't help but straighten up, and his eyes were full of confidence.
High-spirited!
Although it is not known where General Zhan Guo got the military aid from, it is not important.
After all, with the means and connections of the Navy's "wise generals", isn't it easy to get a few billion Baileys?
Now that the funds are in place, all the problems facing the Navy Headquarters have been solved at once.
As a personal soldier of Admiral Sengoku, he is also proud of it, and even more confident and speaks louder.
Although it seems not very "just" to say this, it has to be admitted that it is good to have money!
Thinking of this, the personal soldier looked at Sengoku with more respect.
Feeling the fiery eyes of the personal soldier, Sengoku couldn't help but curl his lips and raise his head.
He hasn't felt this kind of eyes for a long time.
Since Darren and Zefa "defected" from the Navy, there have been many doubts about himself as a Navy Admiral within the Navy.
Due to the confidentiality order of the World Government, they may not know the real reason behind Darren and Zefa's "defection", so in the end the spearhead will point to himself as a Navy Admiral.
Admiral Zephyr has made countless contributions to the Navy and trained countless outstanding young officers...
Vice Admiral Darren is the new generation star of our Navy. He has also killed many legendary pirates and established great military exploits...
Why did they "defect" from the Navy?
There must be something hidden in this!
So the question is, as we all know, Marshal Kong has already handed over all military and political affairs to Admiral Sengoku, so the hidden secret must be related to Admiral Sengoku.
So, recently, rumors like "Admiral Sengoku forced Darren and Zephyr away" and "Admiral Sengoku's poor leadership and limited management level" have been flying all over the Navy system.
Before Sengoku had time to deal with these rumors, the World Government began to cut military funding for the Navy.
As a result, the discontent in the army grew stronger and stronger, and the rumors even began to develop in the direction of "Look, even the World Government can't stand it anymore", "It's General Sengoku's incompetent leadership that caused our budget to be cut and we can't even pay salaries", "Alas, it's all General Sengoku's fault. If he hadn't driven Vice Admiral Darren and General Zefa away, we would still be enjoying a good life now."
So Sengoku was anxious and angry all of a sudden.
No, what can I do if these two bastards, one old and one young, want to run away!
Besides, what does it have to do with me if the World Government cuts our navy's military spending... It's all because Darren and Zefa ran away!
It turns out that old man Kong gave all the military affairs to me so that I can take the blame.
And now, Sengoku once again felt the respect and admiration that he should have as the general of the Navy Headquarters from the navy soldiers around him.
He couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he said calmly with a forced seriousness on his face:
"Our headquarters prepares military funds, replaces the soldiers with brand-new equipment and renovates warships. This is all to enhance the combat effectiveness of our navy and to practice justice with better materials and spirit, not for some grandiose and ostentatious scenes."
"The reason why the members of the allied countries trust our navy is not because the image we show is very beautiful, but because what our navy practices is "the justice of the king ruling the world"!"
Speaking of this, Zhan Guo seemed to be convinced, his expression became excited, and he waved his fist in immersion.
"It is to never compromise with any evil, toThe firm determination to fight to the end!"
"...General Zhan Guo taught me that my subordinates are indeed shallow-minded."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head hurriedly.
"Well..."
Zhan Guo nodded and smiled:
"But you also have some truth. As a navy, if we don't have a good image management, how can we convince others?"
He patted the shoulder of the personal soldier.
"Pass the order down, there must be no mistakes in the escort of the inauguration ceremony held in the holy land this time!"
"We must show the world the positive, progressive and positive spirit of our navy!"
The personal soldier replied:
"Don't worry, General Zhan Guo, the order has already been passed on. "
Then Sengoku smiled with satisfaction.
Although he had many complaints about the Five Elders and the World Government, the government was the Navy's superior authority anyway.
Even if this matter was put aside, from the perspective of maintaining the stability of the world situation, the inauguration ceremony could not have any flaws.
"By the way..."
Sengoku suddenly seemed to remember something and asked in a low voice:
"In the past few days, has there been any...special movement in the Impel Down City?"
Special movement?
The personal soldier was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head and replied:
"No relevant news has been received for the time being. The Impel Down City has always maintained an independent and closed management system. Unless a serious and vicious accident occurs, it will be reported to the headquarters."
Hearing the personal soldier's answer, Sengoku was relieved and a smile appeared on his face again.
"No movement is good, no movement is the best..."
He murmured in a low voice.
"But General Sengoku, when you ask this, I think carefully and it seems that there is such a thing. ”
At this time, the guard seemed to remember something, frowning and thinking:
“It seems that in the past few days, the list of supplies requested by the Push City to the headquarters has a lot more meat, alcohol, cigars, cigarettes and other consumer goods than before…”
