Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's words attracted the attention of everyone in the conference room. Cyrus, who was standing beside him, pressed the remote control in his hand and turned off the live Den Den Mushi.
"Yuichi, have you decided yet?"
Yixiao was sitting in the first seat on the right side of Ji Guoyuanyi. When he heard what Ji Guoyuanyi said, his expression showed a little solemnity and he asked.
Interfering with the navy's campaign to wipe out the BIG MOM pirates and assassinate the Five Elders will have a huge impact on their new navy, no matter what the outcome.
Ever since they attacked the Holy Land and returned from it, a subtle tacit understanding has formed between the New Navy, the World Government, and the Marine Headquarters.
The reason why the new navy has been able to develop safely to this day is not only because of their own strong combat capabilities, but also because the world government and the navy do not want to break this balance.
However, if the New Navy were to do something like assassinating the Five Elders again, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters would probably not be able to tolerate it any longer.
The Five Elders wanted to use their long lifespans to slowly bring down the New Navy.
In the eight hundred years since the establishment of the World Government, countless once-powerful forces on the ocean have been replaced and disappeared.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, Tsugakuni Yoriichi's new navy is nothing more than the Rocks Pirates of the "present era." The Five Elders believe that if they are careful, Tsugakuni Yoriichi and his new navy will eventually disappear into the long river of history.
But what the Five Elders knew, wasn't it also known to Yoshikazu Tsugakuin?
He has no control over the future. What he can do is to solve everything while he still has the energy to do so.
It is precisely because Yoshikazu Tsugakuni is clear about the Five Elders' plans that he will try his best to seize every flaw of the World Government and the Five Elders!
"Um!"
"I've already thought about it."
"Take advantage of this opportunity when the Marine Headquarters and the World Government are working together to eliminate the Big Mom Pirates and assassinate Markus Maz-sensei who is traveling with the team."
"By the way, let's get the red signpost in the hands of the Big Mom Pirates."
"For this operation, Cyrus, Tiger, and Koshiro, you will be stationed at Dressrosa, Redchiled Island, and Thunder God Island respectively."
"Ichisho, Mihawk, Kuma, Abel, Jinbe, the rest of you will come with me and attack on the Dawn warship."
"As for the accompanying troops, we can just bring the Sword Edge Troops and the Fishman Navy from the Fishman Island branch."
The Jianfeng Force, as Ji Guoyuan called it, was a new naval special operations team created by Yixiao. In this world, the gap between people was huge, and on the road to becoming stronger, both talent and hard work were indispensable.
The difference in talent also determines that even within the new navy, ordinary navy will gradually show "strength stratification".
It is obviously inappropriate to deploy and train these talented people together with ordinary new navy personnel.
Therefore, Yixiao incorporated the new navy who had awakened the two-color domineering and mastered three or more of the six styles of the navy into the same unit and formed the "Sword Edge".
This is so that when dealing with some powerful pirate fleets, he doesn't have to divert his attention to take care of his subordinates.
As for the Fishman Navy of the Fishman Island branch, it is easy to understand. These people are the "little brothers" brought by Jinbei from Fishman Island. They are all composed of fishmen and mermaids who are good at water.
The water combat capabilities of these fishman navy, combined with the sword edge, can provide great help to Yoshikazu Tsugikuni.
The navy is fighting against the BIG MOM pirates. Not only is there an admiral leading the team, but there will also be a large number of other navy personnel. Tsugikuni Yoriichi needs someone to help him resist the headquarters' human wave tactics.
"Only the Sword Edge and the Murloc Navy are here?"
“Isn’t the number of people too small?”
"The Blade Force has less than 500 men."
"The number of the Murloc Navy is roughly the same."
"A total of one thousand people. Isn't that too risky?"
"Judging from the scenes of today's military parade, the navy will have no problem mobilizing 100,000 sailors."
"If the expedition is led by the three admirals, there will be at least tens of thousands of troops, but only a thousand marines."
Cyrus couldn't help but frown as he listened to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's plan. If the new navy could muster all its forces, it could potentially form a force of 30,000. While many of them would be ordinary men capable of using firearms, ships and firearms were paramount in naval warfare.
Since the decision has been made to assassinate the Celestial Dragons, they will naturally fight with all their might. If all 30,000 New Navy troops attack, the success rate will undoubtedly increase greatly.
"Our goal is not to engage in a corps war with the Navy."
"Kill the accompanying Tianlong people and leave immediately."
"And ordinary people who can't withstand my Conqueror's Haki will be of no help to this operation."
"In a battle of that level, relying on numbers is meaningless."
"The Navy is making such a big move because their target is the World!"
"A war with the Big Mom Pirates will inevitably become a large-scale battle."
"If we're dealing with an elite pirate group of a dozen or twenty people, a ship carrying three admirals would be enough to solve the problem."
"And according to my judgment, destroying the Big Mom Pirates is not the end of the Navy's current operation."
"Or, the World Government's cooperation with the Navy's operation must be due to other plans."
"I guess the World Government wants to take control of those dozens of islands in the Bankoku."
"If they take over Wan Guo, they will have a place to stay and a base camp."
"An island as small as Punk Hazard can only serve as a 'bridgehead' at best. It has no way of helping the Navy and the World Government conquer the New World."
After hearing what Jigoku Yoshiichi said, Cyrus and others nodded frequently. Their eyes were only focused on the war that was about to happen, and they did not consider anything deeper.
After hearing what Ji Guoyuan said, they gradually came to their senses.
Is face the most essential thing that drives war?
It's benefit.
The territories of the nations, the fame that can be gained by defeating the Big Mom Pirates, the recovery of historical texts, etc. are all benefits.
The actions of the World Government and the Navy are driven by interests. So, what are the interests that drive Yoriichi Tsugikuni to act in this way?
Is it okay just to kill one of the Five Elders?
The people in the conference room also thought of this and looked at Yuichiro Tsuchikuni. They guessed that Yuichiro Tsuchikuni's arrangements might not be complete yet.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Jiguo Yuanyi knew that his companions had already thought of more things. Jiguo Yuanyi did not intend to keep them in suspense and continued:
"Assassinating the Five Elders will lead to two consequences. The first is a desperate counterattack by the Navy and the World Government."
"Even after the fierce battle with the Big Mom Pirates, the Navy probably can't take us down!"
"I have confidence in this."
"And the second outcome is that they will temporarily swallow their anger, rest and recover, and then attack us."
"But they will not give up the land of the Ten Thousand Nations. They will send some people to garrison there. The navy drawn from all over the world cannot stay in the New World forever."
"Once the main force of the navy leaves, we will need to take Wan Guo into our fold."
"Thunder God Island is too small and doesn't have many resources. Food and minerals need to be purchased from other islands and then shipped here."
"This island has no development potential and will restrict the development of the new navy."
"But Banko is different. Banko has a vast territory, and the surrounding shipping routes have long been opened up by the Big Mom Pirates. The land alone can support many people. Establishing a new headquarters with Cake Island as the core is the next stage of the plan!"
For a force to develop, the three most basic elements are people, land and money.
Previously, the thing that constrained the new navy was money. Without the support of the headquarters, the money problem had to be solved by Tsugumi Yoshiichi himself.
After all, the newly recruited navy members need to be paid, equipped, and provided with food and drink. Otherwise, who would come?
The few shipping routes developed by Jiguo Yuanyi can only support tens of thousands of navy personnel.
However, since Tsugikoku Yoshiichi recruited Desolo and his subordinates, funds have been greatly overflowing.
His new navy had more money to recruit officers and develop its strength.
At this time, land becomes very important.
The new navy cannot recruit people and immediately go to the battlefield. These people need a place to live and train. At the same time, the new navy also needs to add docks and build combat ships and training ships.
All of these things require space.
As the headquarters of the new navy, the Thunder God Island headquarters was created by Yixiao using his ability to reclaim land from the sea. The area is not too large, only enough for thousands of sailors to live in, and there are very few training grounds.
Relocating the headquarters has become something that the new navy has to do as it develops to this point.
With the territory and population of Wan Guo, the strength of the new navy might be able to double.
In the conference room, the new navy members listened quietly to Tsugaru Yoshiichi's subsequent plans and understood Tsugaru Yoshiichi's intentions.
The issue of territory had always troubled many high-ranking officials in the New Navy. They were not pirates, so they could not directly rob ordinary people. The only places they could rob were the pirates' territories, but many of these pirate territories were useless, and even after they were robbed, there were no people on the islands.
If it wants to develop, the new navy will need to make great efforts to open up shipping routes, relocate the population, etc.
It takes a long time and has slow results, which is not the optimal solution for them to develop their power.
If we take all nations as our target, it can be considered as a solution to the urgent problem.
It would not be very realistic for them to attack directly. Even if they could eliminate those people from the BIG MOM Pirates, it would not be easy to successfully rule the people of Ten Thousand Nations.
but
If the new navy had come to Wan Guo as a "savior" after the war between Wan Guo and the Navy Headquarters, it would have been much easier to rule the people.
Yixiao and the others were able to figure out the key points easily. After understanding Ji Guoyuanyi's plan, everyone also made suggestions in this direction to improve Ji Guoyuanyi's plan.
In the following days, the members of the New Navy often met to discuss matters. Even Mihawk, who had never been interested in these matters, joined in this time.
After nearly ten days of discussion, the specific plan was initially finalized.
The islands of Wan Guo have not been taken yet, but they have already made arrangements on how to manage them and who to send to manage them.
Near the end of the month.
The day when the Navy Headquarters will dispatch troops is getting closer, and the atmosphere on Thunder God Island is becoming more and more tense.
The navy stationed at the base began to inspect checkpoints and facilities on the island and reinforce some military facilities.
This was done to prevent the Navy and the World Government from launching a desperate counterattack after the successful assassination of Saint Marcus Maz.
The new navy must be prepared to break off relations with the World Government.
Cyrus and Tiger also returned to their bases one after another and began to actively prepare for war.
On the eve of the large-scale operation of the Naval Headquarters, a warship from the Naval Headquarters was intercepted by a patrol boat of the New Navy above the waters near the Thunder God Island.
The weather is not very good tonight. The night sky is covered with dark clouds, and the moonlight and starlight are blocked by the thick clouds.
On the sea, the wind and waves grew stronger. A large ship nearly 100 meters long was floating on the sea. Next to this warship was a small patrol ship less than ten meters long.
On the deck of the patrol ship, a young officer in uniform looked up at the large ship from the Navy Headquarters, his face solemn. A clear voice echoed across the sea:
"This is the controlled waters of Thunder God Island. Please leave!"
"If you don't leave after being warned, you will be attacked by our new navy of Thunder God Island!"
On the patrol ship, the young sergeant finished speaking and looked towards the deck of the warship.
After a while, a round head popped out from the deck of the large ship and shouted downwards:
"I'm the Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, I'm setting the mountain on fire!"
"I want to see Yuichiro Tsugikoku!"
"Take me to him!"
"clatter"
"clatter"
In a reception room of the new naval base on Thunder Island.
The light sound echoed in the small room. Ji Guoyuan sat in the main seat, quietly looking at Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan who was sitting not far away with a cold expression.
The atmosphere in the reception room was solemn. Huoshaoshan looked at Jigoku Yoshiichi with indifference, without any fear on his face.
"So, you came to Thunder God Island to deliver Marshal Zhan Guo's order to me?!"
"Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan, have you made a mistake?"
"The New Navy is the New Navy, and the Naval Headquarters is the Naval Headquarters. There is no affiliation between the two of us."
"Isn't it a little ridiculous that you come to me and act like an elite from your department and pass on the orders of the Warring States?"
Facing Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's question, Huoshaoshan remained indifferent and said without any emotion:
"The Navy Headquarters is carrying out a major operation and needs to transit to Punk Hazard Island."
"Marshal Zhan Guo simply hopes that you and your new navy will not do anything suspicious during the period of the headquarters' naval operations."
"It's not an order!"
Hearing the words "Huo Shao Shan", Ji Guoyuan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Isn't this an order?"
"Is it Zhan Guo's turn to control what our new navy does?"
"Vice Admiral Huoshaoshan, I have no interest in the actions of your navy. I don't care what you are doing in the New World."
"But your headquarters has no control over what our new navy does!"
Ji Guoyuan expressed his refusal in a "tactful" tone, and did not rebuke Huoshaoshan who delivered the message, saving face for the Navy Headquarters.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, I think it would be better for you to follow Marshal Sengoku's wishes."
"Otherwise, we'll make it seem like the new navy is a threat to this operation. We'll prioritize eliminating that 'threat'!"
"Marshal Sengoku also instructed me to convey a message to you. If you don't agree, Cyrus, Bartholomew Kuma and other Seven Warlords of the Sea will be removed from the list!"
Huoshaoshan's tone was stiff, and there was already a hint of threat in his words.
Upon hearing this, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly stopped tapping his fingers on the table and looked intently at Huoshao Mountain:
"You think"
"Who are you talking to?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the terrifying domineering aura instantly poured out on Huoshaoshan. The terrifying pressure made Huoshaoshan subconsciously stand up from his seat, with veins exposed on his face. He tried hard to stay conscious under the pressure of Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
“Click—”
There were some slight noises coming from the wall of the reception room. Under the influence of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's terrifying domineering aura, the wall opened up, and cracks instantly covered the white wall.
Huoshaoshan raised his head with great effort, looked straight at Jigoku Yoriichi, and then spoke with difficulty:
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi, it's not easy for your new navy to have the peace they have now. If you don't agree..."
Before Huoshaoshan could finish his words, Jiguo Yuanyi stood up from his seat and asked with a smile:
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
