Chương 1941: Battle of the North Sea (85)

The reason he felt so emotional was simply because he knew that even at such a critical juncture, the World Government was still preoccupied with using various means to restrain and balance the development and growth of the navy.

Faced with such stubbornness and utter lack of foresight, the colonel felt deeply helpless and saddened—it seemed the World Government was truly beyond saving!

The colonel and lieutenant colonel ended their tense and heated negotiations, but little did they know that every word they uttered had been clearly heard by Yi Xiao, who was hiding in the shadows.

At this moment, Yixiao was lying quietly on the simple hospital bed in the cabin, like a sleeping lion.

When he heard the colonel and lieutenant colonel finish their conversation, Yi Xiao slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

His eyes were filled with contemplation and worry: "I never imagined that such a huge change would occur even within the Marine Headquarters—the Navy splitting apart, with the World Government getting involved..."

Yi Xiao murmured to himself, a hint of surprise and helplessness in his voice.

"What a terrible time this is!"

Yi Xiao sighed deeply, as if carrying a heavy burden in her heart.

Just then, as if he had made up his mind, a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

"However, as that colonel said, now may be the best time for me to join the Navy!"

Recalling the thrilling battle with Caesar not long ago, Yixiao gained a deeper understanding of the importance of having the support of a powerful force.

If they had received naval assistance at the time, even if they ultimately could not defeat the enemy, they could at least have halted the advance of the Rockefeller Kingdom.

After all, when facing an opponent who has come from afar and has difficulty in resupply, as long as delaying tactics are adopted, the opponent can be forced to withdraw voluntarily due to lack of resources.

This not only avoids excessive casualties on its own side, but also allows the battle to develop in a direction favorable to its side.

"Well, I was originally thinking about how to join through naval recruitment, but I didn't expect that a colonel would be willing to mediate. What's more, this colonel can even contact Vice Admiral Garp directly. This saves me a lot of trouble!"

Yi Xiao thought to himself with a smile.

With this thought in mind, he smiled and closed his eyes again, beginning to tend to his injuries.

It must be admitted that the injuries he suffered at this moment were quite severe.

After all, that strike was a thunderous crescent slash that weighed as much as 10, 000 tons!

Its immense power and surging lightning force are such that even powerful individuals like Im or Charlotte would have no chance of directly confronting it.

You must understand, that is pure, unadulterated, and supreme power!

At this moment, on the main deck, after a private conversation with the lieutenant colonel, the colonel couldn't wait to rush toward the captain's cabin.

In a short while, the colonel arrived at his destination and sat down in the office area of the captain's cabin.

He paused briefly, lit a cigarette and took a few deep drags, then lit several more in succession, until finally he made up his mind to report the matter concerning Yixiao.

It should be noted that he did not go directly to Lieutenant General Garp this time.

Despite the impression given during the conversation between the colonel and the lieutenant colonel that the colonel and Lieutenant General Karp had a close relationship, the truth is probably only known to the colonel himself.

Back in the day!

He was just an unknown and insignificant lieutenant, who could only meekly follow General Garp around all day.

You should know that there are plenty of people like this under Vice Admiral Garp's command, probably more than a hundred!

Therefore, this little thing is nothing to Lieutenant General Garp!

Actually, this guy just got incredibly lucky. He happened to run into a pirate whose head was worth over 20 million, and somehow managed to kill him and cut off his head to claim it as his achievement.

And so, with this "windfall," he was able to climb step by step, with great difficulty, to his current position as a naval branch captain.

But then again, the fact that they were able to successfully capture that pirate's head had absolutely nothing to do with this so-called colonel.

The one who truly made the great contribution should be General Garp.

At the time, Garp was engaged in a fierce battle with an extremely powerful pirate, but the shockwave he accidentally generated accidentally hit an innocent bystander, who was just a small fry.

Thus, the henchman, who not only failed to gain any advantage but also lost his life, became a victim of the colonel's blade.

Garp himself, however, didn't care at all.

Therefore, the close relationship between the colonel and Lieutenant General Garp that the colonel claimed to have was mostly a lie he deliberately fabricated to intimidate others and deceive them.

Furthermore, the fact that he had indeed served on Garp's flagship for a period of time undoubtedly convinced many unsuspecting navy personnel of his truth.

Inside the captain's cabin!

The colonel directly reported the important intelligence about Yixiao to the Naval Staff.

When his report was delivered, it immediately caused a huge uproar throughout the Navy, like a bombshell, and quickly attracted the extreme attention of the top leaders.

There was nothing they could do; the North Sea region was currently under relentless and fierce attack from the Rockefeller Kingdom!

The navy appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are actually surging.

They appear to be making no moves, but they are keenly aware of every development in the Beihai region, paying particular attention to intelligence about the area.

This time, the intelligence the colonel obtained was far beyond what an ordinary person could possess.

This naturally aroused the high alert of the Naval Staff, who quickly launched an in-depth investigation.

After being passed through multiple layers of channels, this crucial intelligence finally reached the desk of Navy Chief of Staff Tsuru.

When his gaze fell upon the words "Yi Xiao," a strange feeling welled up inside him: "Yi Xiao? That name sounds so familiar!"

It was as if a bolt of lightning had streaked across the sky, instantly igniting a long-dormant spark deep within my memory.

Immediately afterwards, He got up without hesitation and went to the intelligence department to find the list of powerful people who impressed him from the vast amount of information.

Then, they focused intently on comparing them one by one.

Persistence pays off. After much effort, He successfully found detailed information about "Yi Xiao".

As He read on, his doubts not only did not disappear, but grew stronger—it turned out that this person named "Issho" had first appeared back in the year 1508 of the Sea Calendar!
