Chương 542: Loss of the Navy

Marine Headquarters Marine Fando.

The entire naval headquarters was extremely quiet.

There is a depressing atmosphere in the air.

Everyone's faces showed sadness and hatred.

Inside the Office of the Marshal of the Navy Headquarters.

Many naval generals gathered together.

Including Admiral Sengoku also returned from the New World.

Everyone's face was expressionless and their heads were bowed.

Listening quietly to the phone call on the side.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I will arrange it immediately!"

Kong didn't dare to resist at all when listening to the orders on the phone, and he obeyed them all.

hang up the phone.

Sora sighed and walked back to his seat.

Look at all the generals present.

The pupils shrank slightly.

The number of generals who came was less than half that before the expedition.

"Are they all here?"

Sora asked in a hoarse voice.

He sat nearby and glanced at the general behind the long table, then nodded.

"It's all here!"

A trace of helplessness flashed in He's eyes.

This time the navy's casualties were indeed greater.

Half of the generals alone were dead.

After hearing this, Sora closed his eyes silently.

"I will bear all the responsibility for this failure. I will submit my resignation to the World Government and recommend the Warring States General as my successor!"

Sora opened his eyes and said.

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was instantly shocked.

"No, Marshal, the navy is in crisis now, how can you leave?"

Sengoku immediately retorted.

Just kidding, now that you are gone, who will solve the mess you left behind? It could be him.

The current situation in the Navy is all because of your orders. It would be best if you left and let me clean up the mess for you.

At this time in the Warring States Period, even if he wanted to become a marshal, he had to hold back.

After hearing Sengoku's words, Sora's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

But he quickly hid it.

"Sengoku, you don't need to persuade me. This time it was all because of my willful actions that caused so much harm to the navy. I cannot absolve myself of the blame."

Sora said with a painful expression.

He has been a marshal of the Navy for nearly 20 years. If you add in the [-] years when the position of marshal was not established before, he was an admiral.

Having been the leader of the Navy for a total of 30 years, he is obsessed with power.

From the original work, he still holds power even after retirement, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces can see.

The phone call just now was actually not just about the accountability of the world government.

It's more of a confrontation of power.

Kong knew that the failure of this operation had greatly affected the navy's recognition of him.

The distrust of the soldiers and the eager gaze of the generals.

It all made him feel stuck in his throat.

His position was in jeopardy.

After 30 years in charge of the Navy, it is definitely impossible for him to hand over the power in his hands.

But if you don't hand over your power, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at you.

I was just talking to Wulaoxing.

Sora also made his request vaguely.

Wulaoxing only hesitated for a while and then agreed.

But the condition is to support the world government's Shichibukai plan.

But Kong agreed without hesitation for the sake of his own status.

"marshal!"

When Warring States was about to say something.

Sora interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's report our losses in this battle!"

Sora said with a tired look, rubbing his brows.

After hearing this, Warring States swallowed what he wanted to say.

Picked up the report.

"In this operation, the navy dispatched a total of more than 6000 elite navy personnel, and 5000 people died in battle!"

Warring States first reported the dead.

And as soon as the death toll of 5000 people came out, even if I was prepared for it, my heart became cold.

With the death of 5000 people, the Navy could declare its entire army annihilated.

These are the elites of the navy, not the trash from the branch.

When the other generals heard this, they clenched their fists, and the rise and fall of their chests showed their inner unrest.

"A total of 150 generals participated in the expedition, including 72 brigadiers, 52 major generals, 23 lieutenant generals, two generals, and one marshal. The number of generals killed was 80, including 43 brigadiers, 32 major generals, and Five people will die."

When Warring States said this, the hand holding the paper started to tremble.

Half of the generals died in that battle. This is the navy's foundation and the main force of the navy in suppressing the sea.

When Kong heard this, his face turned dark.

More than half of the lower-level generals were killed or wounded. The navy is broken!

Although generals at the level of brigadier general and major general are not at the level of senior generals.

But they are also the mainstay of the navy. The mission of major generals and commodores is to patrol the sea and hunt down pirates on the sea.

With so many people dead at once, it's no wonder that the navy was unable to suppress the sea.

Do we just rely on those dozen lieutenant generals to patrol the sea?

Isn't this overkill?

The role of the lieutenant general is more like sitting on one side, and the tasks of going out to capture pirates are basically done by the brigadier general and major general levels.

And it is enough to patrol the sea all year round instead of just turning around.

After speaking, Warring States sat down.

Everyone in the conference room felt their hands and feet were cold.

If we can't pass this level, I'm afraid the navy will be in danger.

Once the garbage on the sea knows the reality of the navy, they will definitely flock to the sea.

By then, due to the chain reaction, the navy will completely lose control of the sea.

"This matter must not be reported out, it will rot in my stomach!"

Kong said while looking at the more than 70 generals on the field.

"Yes!"

All the generals present stood up and looked at the marshal.

Sora waved his hand for them to sit down and rubbed his brow with his hand.

"This navy's failure has resulted in the loss of too much combat power. I have proposed a naval recruitment campaign to the World Government and selected outstanding soldiers from various branches to supplement the navy headquarters. I believe it will not take long for the navy to return to its peak."

Sora said after seeing so many generals looking downcast.

As soon as this word comes out.

All the generals, including the Warring States Period, were impressed.

The World Government is like guarding the navy against thieves. Even if it sits back and watches the New World Pirates become stronger, it refuses to strengthen the navy.

I didn't expect that the world government would be so easy to talk to this time. Has it seen the reality clearly?

But Sora's words were far from over.

"However, this is not without cost, because the navy's nearly annihilated losses have caused the sea to turmoil again. The World Government will implement the King's Shichibukai System to suppress the growing number of pirates in the sea."

When Kong said this, he carefully watched the reactions of many generals.

boom!

A loud bang!

Zefa stood up.

"Marshal, I will never agree to recruit pirates to deal with pirates!"

Zefa slapped the table with an angry expression and looked at Sora.

boom!

Sora also slapped the table.

"Zefa, please sit down. This is an order from the World Government and your consent is not required!"

Sora said with a blushing face.

Other generals were also confused by this plan.
