"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, are you planning a major expansion?"
"You're quite ambitious!"
"Marshal Zhan Guo, shouldn't we do something?"
"The large-scale conscription is also a great opportunity for us!"
The news that the new navy was releasing recruitment information to the world gradually spread, and this news naturally could not be concealed from the navy headquarters, which had been paying close attention to the development of the new navy.
Early that morning, Branny hurried to Zhan Guo's office with the intelligence he had obtained and reported the situation.
Behind the desk, Zhan Guo held the newspaper in one hand and gently adjusted his glasses, his expression showing a hint of solemnity.
“It’s indeed a good opportunity!”
"We have not always had a precise and rigorous grasp of the new navy's goals and movements."
"If we can put some of our own people into the new navy team"
"Maybe that won't be a problem."
"but."
As the words came to his lips, Zhan Guo began to have some concerns again.
What kind of people should be arranged to participate in the recruitment of the new navy?
The most important thing for these people is to be loyal to the Navy, and secondly, they need to have outstanding abilities and talents.
Because only such people can catch the eye of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and have the hope of entering the middle and senior levels of the new naval system.
Although the new navy is short of people, Tsugikuni Yoriichi has always adhered to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have unqualified people". The people around him are all capable and loyal.
It is not easy for ordinary people to gain the favor of Yuichiro Tsugikuni and be entrusted with important tasks.
"Marshal? Do you have any concerns?"
"Are you worried about the selection?"
Brannew noticed the "sad" expression on Zhan Guo's face and asked.
"The recruitment for the new navy officially began in the middle of this year. From the time he released the information to the official assessment in Wan Guo, a full six months passed."
"Such a long time span should also give some people who are a little further away enough time to rush to Wanguo."
"But no matter how long the time span he gives is, the number of people who can cross the Grand Route and travel to the world is definitely small."
"The people he recruits are not ordinary people."
"I estimate that the difficulty of his assessment should not be small."
"Even if ordinary sergeants were sent there, they wouldn't necessarily be accepted by the new navy."
"However, truly outstanding people all hold high positions in our headquarters and are likely to be discovered."
"Also, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Observation Haki is somewhat special. His Observation Haki can sense human emotions. If the people sent have strong hostility towards the New Navy, they will be noticed."
Zhan Guo actually had another concern he hadn't yet shared with Branny. Young people are often synonymous with enterprising spirit. They're quick to adopt new things, and unlike mature middle-aged adults, their outlook on life and values haven't yet been fully formed.
Under such circumstances, it is hard to say whether one will be influenced by the thoughts of people like Tsugikuni Yoriichi if one rashly joins a group like the New Navy.
There are some things that Sengoku doesn't have the courage to say that the Navy Headquarters will definitely do better than Tsugikuni Yoriichi's new navy.
On the contrary, Zhan Guo knew too well what the nature of the Marine Headquarters was like. If truly passionate young people saw the new navy, they would probably have no sense of belonging to the Marine Headquarters.
This is what the Warring States period was really worried about.
Brannew was a smart man. When he heard Zhan Guo say this, he knew what Zhan Guo was worried about.
He had been prepared for this and silently took out a list from his pocket and placed it on Zhan Guo's desk.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, please take a look at this."
Seeing Brannew's actions, Zhan Guo couldn't help but look sideways slightly, glanced at Brannew, and then took the list on the table in his hand.
After a quick glance, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhan Guo's eyes.
There are several factors involved in sending spies into the new navy:
The first is that his reputation in the navy must be small enough so that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi cannot find out his origin; the second is that his ability must be strong enough to be able to successfully enter the new navy and at the same time come into the sight of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and other new navy senior officials; finally, he must be mature enough in mind.
Only spies who possess these conditions have the potential to become useful hidden agents for the Navy Headquarters.
"Lieutenant Commander Vergo was transferred to the Marine Headquarters from the West Sea branch. He is low-key, but calm and reliable. He is also very capable, with excellent Haki and has mastered more than half of the Six Styles of the Navy."
“It’s an excellent choice in every aspect.”
"Smoker, a top student at the Naval Academy, was transferred from the East China Sea. While he's not as capable as Commander Vergo, he's younger. He's not exactly steady, but he's a smart guy."
"Most importantly, he's a sentimental person. He has a very good relationship with his classmates at the Naval Academy. People like him are easy to control."
Branny was afraid that Zhan Guo didn't recognize the people on the list, so he introduced them to them while Zhan Guo was checking.
There are only ten people on the list, ranging in age from young people of 17 or 18 to middle-aged men in their thirties, and their personality traits are also different.
It can be seen that Brannew probably had plans in this regard for a long time, but just had no opportunity to implement them.
But now, the new navy's recruitment has indeed given him this opportunity.
Zhan Guo casually placed the list beside him and began to carefully review the personnel files that Branny had given him. After flipping through a few pages, Zhan Guo paused and looked at the file of a female sailor in his hand, his eyes twitching slightly.
"Brannew, why is Peacock on the list?"
When he looked at the list before, he just glanced at it and didn't notice it. Now after carefully examining it, Zhan Guo immediately found a big problem.
In his hand was a file about a female navy officer named Peacock. The file was very concise, but this female navy officer had a great background.
Peacock is the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Crane and has just turned 18. Peacock was secretly trained by Crane. In the navy, only a very few people know Peacock's identity. Branny, a close confidant of Zhan Guo, is one of those who know.
He actually put Peacock on the spy list. What is Brannew planning?!
Zhan Guo looked at Branyu's face, waiting for Branyu's answer.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, putting aside your identity as the granddaughter of Vice Admiral He."
"Simply speaking of ability, talent, and temperament, Miss Peacock is one of the most suitable candidates."
"Miss Peacock is the granddaughter of Vice Admiral Crane. Her loyalty is not a concern at all. Moreover, she has been educated by Vice Admiral Crane since she was a child. Her abilities are among the best among her peers."
"She's talented enough. If she can successfully join the new navy, she'll definitely be able to access the most confidential intelligence in a few years."
In response to Zhan Guo's questions, Branny was very calm and gave Zhan Guo a serious analysis.
You know what, what Brannew said does make some sense.
but
What does it mean to put aside your identity? Can you just put it aside?
"Peacock is not an option, but I think the other candidates are all good."
"Summon these people secretly to see me at the Navy Headquarters."
"Attention, separate into batches and arrange individual meetings."
"Brannew, this matter is only known to you and me. No one else is allowed to disclose it."
Zhan Guo was very decisive. He pulled out Peacock's file and then handed the list of other files to Branny and gave instructions.
"yes!"
Brannew straightened his body, responded, and then left the office with the file to make arrangements.
After Brannew left, Zhan Guo glanced towards the door, pondered for a moment, took Peacock's file in his hand again, and his eyes became deep.
“Some things can only be done most effectively by our own people.”
"Let's ask Crane what he thinks."
As he spoke, Zhan Guo collected Peacock's file and placed it in his arms.
The office became quiet again.
"I want to go to sea!"
“I’m going to the new world!!!”
The Kingdom of Goa, the stronghold of the Korpo Sandadan family.
When Ace woke up in the morning, he saw the newspaper on the table. Looking at the recruitment information published in the newspaper, he became excited and wanted to go down the mountain shouting.
“No boat! We don’t have a boat!!”
"The old man said that you are not allowed to sail before you come of age."
"Ace, calm down. The most important thing for us now is to calm down~"
Compared to the excited Ace, Sabo was much calmer. He hugged Ace who was about to rush out of the room and tried to persuade him.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”
"hateful!!!"
"Why can't time pass faster!"
"I really want to get out of here!"
Ace has worries that are "unique" to his age, complaining about why time passes so slowly. It seems that all children have such worries.
Seeing Ace calm down, Sabo loosened his hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he put his arm around Ace's shoulders and said comfortingly:
"Ace, the new marines are always there anyway."
"It won't be long before we can go out to sea together."
"Leave the Kingdom of Goa, leave the East China Sea!"
Sabo turned his head and looked outside the room, his eyes full of expectations for the future and a desire to leave the Kingdom of Goa.
"Um!"
"It won't be long!"
Ace nodded heavily, clenched the newspaper in his hand, and he and Sabo put their arms around each other's shoulders, looking forward to the future scene they hoped for in their hearts.
All nations.
"Mr. Jiguo, the fish-man army's salvaging work is complete. There is nothing left in the sea."
"The harvest this time is really amazing."
"It's really amazing that those pirates stole so much."
The door of Yuichiro Tsuchikuni's office was pushed open, and Jinbei, dressed in a white and gold suit, pushed open the door and walked into the office. He placed a list on the desk in front of Yuichiro Tsuchikuni and reported.
"Thank you for your hard work, Jinbe."
When Tsugakuni Yoshiichi heard the voice, he raised his head and took the thick list from Jinbei's hand. He flipped through several pages and a look of astonishment appeared on Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's face.
Property worth nearly 700 billion Baileys.
The value of what was salvaged from the shipwreck was far beyond Yunyi's expectations.
This is an incomparably huge fortune.
For example, the pirate ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, which was built using the Adam Tree, probably cost less than 300 million berries. Apart from the main keel worth 200 million, tens of millions of berries could definitely be used to buy everything else.
In other words, the money he received could build more than 200 SUN ships. If the keels were made of other wood instead of Adam's precious tree, the number of ships that could be built with this money could be tripled.
Although the total number is far less than the number of pirate ships destroyed by Yoriichi Tsugakuin that night
However, this money can greatly alleviate the pressure on various infrastructure funds in various countries.
"The Big Mom Pirates' vault also has assets worth trillions of berries. With this addition, there's no financial pressure at this stage."
"However, it is impossible to invest such a large amount of wealth in the market all at once."
"It has to be exchanged for money elsewhere, then converted into resources and shipped to the world."
"After the conscription is completed in the second half of the year, things like bases, barracks, and training ships will need to be prepared quickly."
“There’s a lot to do!”
"It seems that we must go to the Seven Water City and the Handicraft Island to hire more craftsmen."
Jiguo Yuanyi reviewed the list in his hand and pondered for a long time.
When you have insufficient funds, you will have the worry of insufficient funds; when you have sufficient funds, you will also have the worry of sufficient funds.
Jiguo Yuanyi thought to himself, picked up the Den Den Mushi beside him, and prepared to call Xiong and ask him to come over.
In order to invite craftsmen to the Seven Water City and Handicraft Island, Xiong needs to go with him.
With the help of his fleshy fruit, the time spent on the road can be greatly reduced and the efficiency can be much higher.
Just as Tsugumi Yoshiichi picked up the Den Den Mushi, a slight sound suddenly came from the office.
Xiong's tall body appeared silently in the office.
"Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi!!!"
"I want to go back to the Kingdom of Solbe! I want to go back!!!"
Xiong's figure appeared in the office, and as soon as he appeared, he rushed directly to Ji Guoyuanyi's desk, pressed his hands hard on the desk, and yelled at Ji Guoyuanyi with an anxious face.
There seemed to be something wrong with Xiong's condition. His face was pale when he spoke, his body was shaking wildly involuntarily, his calves seemed to be a little weak, and he almost fell to the floor. The tone of his voice when he spoke to Tsugikuni Yuichiro was full of anxiety and pleading.
"Bear? What's wrong with you?"
The sudden appearance of the bear did not scare Jinbe and Tsugakuni Yoriichi, but his haggard appearance at this time did give them a fright.
Ji Guoyuan stood up from his seat and tried to help Xiong, but Xiong had just fallen to his knees on the floor, his head buried deep in the ground, his voice choked with sobs: "Go back! I want to go back to the Kingdom of Solbe!"
"Ginny. Ginny, she's gone!!!"
The bear tilted his head back, and this burly and gentle man's face was now covered with tears.
"Big Bear?!"
Jinbei had already walked to Kuma's side, holding Kuma's arms with both hands. Looking at Kuma's tearful face, Jinbei couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Ginny?
It was the first time that Jinbei heard this name from Kuma's mouth.
As for Yoriichi Tsugikuni, when he heard the name Ginny, he didn't react at first.
It was very familiar, but for a moment he forgot where he had heard it. However, looking at Xiong's sad face full of tear marks, the memory in Ji Guoyuan's mind gradually became clear.
"Ginny, that's your childhood friend in the Self-Defense Force, right?"
"She disappeared?"
"What's going on?"
Ji Guoyuan asked repeatedly, his tone full of concern.
It is hard to say whether the companions around him are lucky or unlucky. Although each of them has strong strength, their life experience and experiences are full of ups and downs.
Shimotsuki Koshiro is considered to be doing well, at least for now. His father is living in Shimotsuki Village in the East China Sea, and his wife and daughter are by his side, so he lives a relatively comfortable life.
Other.
People like Mihawk, Kuma, Yixiao, and Abel, their childhood experiences can be called BE literature.
That touch of white moonlight in the bear's life is so important to the bear.
“Long informed me.”
"He said Ginny's missing."
"She is the commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army. She..."
