Chương 1902: Battle of the North Sea (48)

"The current navy boasts six top-tier fighters, with over a hundred lieutenant generals and major generals. With so many powerful individuals, I'm afraid we're almost surpassing the first navy. If we don't curb this, the navy will become too powerful to be controlled!"

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.

The strength of the navy is indeed an issue that cannot be ignored. Although the navy has suffered setbacks in recent years, its strength cannot be underestimated.

The navy's strength continued to grow year by year, and none of this escaped the eyes of the World Government.

"So, will the Navy agree to such an arrangement?"

Peter Saint asked with a look of doubt on his face.

Nasu Shoulangsheng answered without hesitation, "They will definitely agree. After all, the relationship between Aokiji and Akainu has become quite tense, and the conflict between the two has reached a point where it is on the verge of breaking out. No matter who wins in the end, the loser will probably not be convinced. Instead of letting them continue fighting, it is better to separate them and let each take charge of an army. This will benefit both sides."

Nasu Shoulangsheng paused for a moment and continued, "Moreover, the conflict between Aokiji and Akainu is actually a good thing for us. A united navy is not what we want to see. The existence of conflict can actually make us feel more at ease."

As he said this, there was a gleam of wisdom in Nasshoulangsheng's eyes, as if he had already seen through it all.

After hearing Nasu Shoulangsheng's analysis, the other four Five Elders laughed in unison, a smile that showed they understood what he meant.

Saint Shamrock felt an indescribable chill in his heart as he looked at these people who decided the future fate of the navy with just a few words.

"These five losers may not be strong enough, but when it comes to cunning, I can't match them. I'll try not to offend them from now on, otherwise, I'll be schemed to death by them."

Shamrock Saint thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time, his eyes swept over the five people he called "waste".

Saint Maz's voice rang out in the conference room: "Okay, let's do as Saint Nasu Shoulang said. The Navy is indeed a bit too powerful. Although it has been defeated repeatedly over the years, its power has not decreased but increased. If we hadn't been keeping an eye on the Navy, we would have thought that the Navy was nurturing the enemy to protect itself. It's time to split the Navy, with Aokiji and Akainu serving as the Navy Admiral and Army Marshal respectively.

Given the conflicts between these two, we can rest assured that they will lead the army!"

As soon as Mazsheng finished speaking, the other three nodded in agreement.

"Seconded!"

"I agree."

"This is a really good arrangement."

Saint Maz nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Saint Shamrock and asked, "Saint Shamrock, what do you think?"

Saint Shamrock hesitated for a moment. After all, this was an important decision and he needed to consider it carefully.

But he soon came to his senses and realized that his opinion was also important.

So, he said, "I think this plan is feasible. Aokiji and Akainu are both strong men in the navy, and the conflicts between them can also restrain each other. In this way, we don't have to worry about them joining forces to deal with us."

After hearing what Saint Shamrock said, Saint Maz smiled, and was obviously satisfied with his answer.

There is no doubt that Saint Shamrock's opinions reflect some of Lord Yim's thoughts to some extent.

After all, since Lord Yim allowed Saint Shamrock to participate, he must have thought it over carefully and must have obtained his consent.

This is not only a respect for Lord Yim, but also a necessary procedure.

You know, Saint Shamrock is Lord Im's true confidant and trusted one!

He has been guarding Lord Yim like a shadow all year round. This special status is not something that can be obtained easily.

It can be said that Saint Shamrock plays a vital role beside Lord Yim.

In comparison, although the status of the Five Elders seems to be slightly higher than that of Saint Shamrock, in fact they are just representatives of the highest power of the World Government appointed by Lord Im.

Their main duties are to manage the world on behalf of Lord Im and carry out Lord Im's will.

From this perspective, the relationship between Saint Shamrock and the Five Elders is not a simple one of superiors and subordinates, but each has its own unique role and status.

Although Saint Shamrock is only the leader of the Knights of God, his power should not be underestimated.

He is in charge of the Knights of God, a powerful armed force; more importantly, he also has the power to execute Celestial Dragons, a privilege that even the Five Elders do not have!

Therefore, although Saint Shamrock is slightly inferior to the Five Elders in terms of power level, as a close associate of Lord Im, the value of this identity is much higher than that of the five outsiders.

In certain specific circumstances, the Five Elders even need to curry favor with the leader of the Knights of God!

After all, this leader's strength and status are very high, and the Knights of God he leads also plays a vital role in the World Government.

"Okay, let's start according to this plan."

Saint Maz looked at everyone and said.

"First, we need to suspend the selection of admirals within the Navy. Let Aokiji and Akainu carefully consider the conditions of the World Government and see who is more willing to be the Army Marshal. Of course, if they both want to fight for the position of Navy Admiral, that's fine too. Let them fight it out. The winner will naturally become the Navy Admiral, and the loser will have to become the Army Marshal."

As soon as Saint Maz finished speaking, the other four Five Elders nodded in agreement.

But Saint Shamrock frowned, and seemed not very satisfied with the plan.

"Now that the Rockefeller Kingdom is invading the North Sea, the time given to the World Government is extremely tight. We can even say that we are racing against time."

Saint Shamrock said to the Five Elders with a serious face.

"Relying solely on the powerful men of the World Government is far from enough. The Navy must also be dispatched. But now we are still engaging in internal strife. How can we deal with the Rockefeller Kingdom?"

Facing Saint Shamrock's questioning, the Five Elders looked at each other, and then looked at Saint Shamrock together.

"The Rockefeller Empire's invasion of the North Sea is an established fact, there is no doubt about that. However, stopping its expansion will not be easy, and relying on a single war will likely not solve the problem. We must prepare for a protracted war with the Rockefeller Empire; it will be an arduous and protracted battle."

Mazsheng said with a serious expression.
