One Piece – Thundergod Marine

How did the current naval base come from? Is it passed down through the years of history?

of course not.

In fact, every hundred years, there will be a big rotation of naval branches.

Some of them were destroyed by the war like the old G5 branch, and some had to be abandoned due to the changing climate of the island and the aging and decay of facility hardware that could not be repaired.

There was also a base that was thoroughly scoured by the enemy, and everyone knew it, so they found another address.

The transcendent status of Malinfoudo comes from the fact that the Maelstrom Iron Triangle has never been captured by anyone, nor has it undergone major changes. It has always stood in the sea day after day and year after year.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the navy wants to build a G11 branch. After all, before the pirates were full of pirates, the number of naval branches in the New World was not as small as it is now.

This is the best age and the worst age.

G11 is "new" for this era, but looking at the entire naval history, there was even a G20 branch.

But what does this have to do with Smogg?

Stornobelli couldn't understand.

The other party is just a branch colonel now, and there is no hope even to return to the headquarters. Even if the G11 costs a lot and takes time, it will not be Smogg's turn?

"What does Vice Admiral Canglong want to say?"

Small thought about the gains and losses inside.

Can Ron help him up?

What do you want from winning him?

What effect will this have on you?

In the past, Smogg was determined by his fist, so he had always been the thorn and navy rascal in the eyes of the upper class. Now Smogg is the butt who determines his head.

The horizon is different!

"The G11 branch is expected to be completed early next year. The reason why the Marshal didn't have the right words to reveal the candidate for the base commander, of course, would not be because of the lieutenant generals present."

This is inevitable.

The current lieutenant general of the headquarters removed the two veteran qualifications of Karp and Crane, and the average age of the rest was 40 years old, which can be said to be the backbone of the navy pulled up by the Warring States.

For these people, the Warring States period is undoubtedly a hundred rest assured.

Although he was angry about Vergo, he would never be suspicious of every lieutenant.

"Lieutenant General Stornobelli thinks, what is the reason why the Marshal has not spoken yet?"

"Probably...for balance, right?"

Stornobelli can be a lieutenant general, and he also has a certain political sense: "The hawks and doves are evenly matched, and it is difficult to distinguish the outcome. Originally, the Caps remained neutral, and the marshal would choose one of us, but ..."

"Halfway killed you, Lieutenant General Canglong."

As a one-man double commander, the navy is in full swing, and the prestige is second only to the senior generals and the powerful naval generals of Karp and others!

Even if the assassination unit is now frustrated and reformed within a limited period of time, everyone can see the development potential of the assassination unit.

Their independence makes them invincible innately!

Even the Warring States period couldn't ask them to obey the command of a certain general, admitting others or not.

In the future, it may even develop into a behemoth that overpowers the hawks and doves, second only to the throne of the marshal.

The small group of lieutenant generals has separated so many different factions with different views on justice. Behind it is tens of thousands of middle and lower-level officers. How to deal with disputes between them is undecided for the Warring States Period. Understandable.

"Half right."

Ron smiled: "As long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the Marshal is not the kind of mediocre who will miss the opportunity because of scruples. It is his approach to directly order and suppress all opposition with authority."

"that……"

Stoneobelli frowned silently.

indeed.

The feeling of Warring States is not strong, but no one can question his firm belief.

As long as there is a need, how can he manage partisan struggles between officers?

As a marshal, who can stand against him?

In the heart of the Warring States period, no matter what you think, "I think it can" is enough.

In the past, in order to maintain the balance between the three powers, didn't these orders that made soldiers feel shameful come from this way?

Therefore, for the remaining half, Stornobelli had a vague guess.

"Seems to understand!"

He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid in the Marshal's heart, our group of people are not suitable to go to the New World as base commander."

The new world, that patchy sea area, is very different from the first half of "paradise".

The same large-scale top-level battles as before are common. The ten years of the Four Emperors' solid status were more than one fight for three days and one fight for three days. It was more chaotic than your cat jumping on a domino and messing around. To be complicated.

There are extremely high requirements for the belligerence of officers and even soldiers!

When the old G5 was still there, Vergo's group of subordinates were called "pirates in navy skin", and sometimes even ignored the orders of the headquarters and went their own way.

The hawks are more radical than the defensive. The doves are mostly defensive officers but prevent mistakes. The most suitable Karpist candidate cannot be mobilized because of Ron's sudden emergence, so...

The Warring States period is a headache!

Only the combination of these two factors can explain the reason for the indecision of the Warring States Period.

"Then I... To make an analogy, if I am now a lieutenant general, what advantage do I have to be able to take the position of base commander of the G11 branch?"

Smogg asked with fiery eyes.

This is a good time to climb the sky in one step!

Because the Warring States period believed that none of the existing lieutenants could stand firm in the new world and maintain a base as large as G11 and (old) Universal.

"It's simple, because you are muddled enough!"

Ron replied with a smile.

Smogg's enthusiasm was immediately washed out by a basin of cold water, and he looked straight at Ron with a dull expression.

I'm... muddy enough?

Is this a compliment?!

"So that's it, I know."

Watching Stornobelli shined.

"This is indeed where Smaller's advantage lies!"

Being young is the biggest advantage of SMOOG!

Because of his youth, his moldability is much higher than other lieutenants.

At the same time, because of his youth, he has enough confidence to make mistakes.

What the new world needs is not a strong lieutenant guard, but a young officer who is responsible, able to take his own role, pioneering, brave, and capable of advancing and retreating, and agile in mind.

Simply put, it is vigor!

A lifeless veteran can ensure that there is no problem with the G11, but that is inconsistent with the development needs of the Navy to find another opportunity to break through the current situation.

With the end of the New World War, not only did the Navy encounter the most severe test of the great pirate era, it was also a major reshuffle for the New World.

Only Smaller who meets the above requirements is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, there is actually another suitable candidate.

Stornobelli looked at Ron.

That is the Navy Blue Dragon!

But he already has the post of G10 branch base commander. No matter how maverick, the Warring States period dare not allow him to serve as a dual base commander on the basis of dual command.

"How old is it!"

He sighed silently: "The age belongs to your young people."

"Lieutenant General Stornobelli has made a serious statement. You are less than half a hundred years old this year, and you have the opportunity to move on in the future."

"I hope so."

Shaking his head, Stornobelli knew it was a comforting word.

Admiral, the need for strength is not the slightest bit, he has no confidence to continue.

"But the only problem is that you are just a colonel in Roggetown."

Ron Chong, who looked hesitant but stunned, said, "When I finish handling my affairs in the East China Sea, let's set off for the Great Route."

Regardless of whether there is a destined enemy like Luffy or not, Ron feels that he can't keep the potential stock of Smaller in the East China Sea for free development.

Without fighting, what did he use to leverage the authority of the ruler?

Bang!

As soon as the voice fell, the office door was pushed open with a "boom", and a young Xiaojian pink-haired teenager fell to the ground, raised his head after screaming, clasping his cheeks with an embarrassing expression.

"I said, I heard nothing, do you believe it?"

Small: "..."

"K, Bi!!!"

Bang!!

The smoke dragon roared out and turned into a white smoke fist that was as tough as a beef tendon. Kerby was wrapped in his fist and flew into the sky.
