Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's words echoed in the quiet conference room. How could the lieutenant generals in the conference room not know and understand what he said?
Those who have been able to survive on this ocean and even reach the high position of lieutenant general know only too well the importance of strength.
They really wanted to respond to what Tsugakuni Yoshiichi said, but under the suppression of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's powerful domineering aura, the lieutenant generals' faces turned red, and they simply didn't have the strength to say anything.
Just by relying on the domineering aura he released, he suppressed all the lieutenant generals in the conference room. Even Admiral Magellan, who was not known for his domineering aura, had his muscles trembling and shaking slightly under the pressure of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
This doesn't mean that Magellan was afraid of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, it's just that he, like the other vice admirals, was using all his strength under Tsugakuni Yoriichi's dominance.
After a while, the terrifying domineering aura that filled the office dissipated as Tsugumi Yoshiichi finished speaking.
Everyone felt a lightness in their body, as if relieved from a heavy burden. The conference room was filled with the sound of generals breathing heavily.
After recovering a little, the generals all looked at Ji Guoyuanyi, their eyes full of awe.
Sometimes, this world handles things in such a simple and crude way. After all, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi underestimated the impact of his strength on these navies.
After witnessing Tsugekuni Yoriichi's strength with their own eyes, the lieutenant generals had no desire to resist him at all.
Anyone with a clear mind would have no objection to the previous appointment made by Zhan Guo.
In the final analysis, the backbone of the Marine Headquarters has been taken away by the Celestial Dragons' years of operation. Once compromise becomes a habit, resistance becomes an extremely precious thing.
These people in the navy were able to accept the strange existence of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea System", and it was not difficult for them to accept the rebel Yoriichi Tsugakuni to return to the navy headquarters.
Ji Guoyuan glanced at the expressions of everyone present at the meeting, and a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on his originally indifferent face.
He originally thought that it would be very difficult for him to move into the Marine Headquarters after it had been cleansed by the Celestial Dragons, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
The "ability to accept" of these lieutenant generals is much stronger than he imagined.
As expected, they are the ones who allow the Celestial Dragons to ride on their heads.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Please continue."
Having shown some strength, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni lowered his posture a little and acted as if everything was decided by Sengoku.
After Zhan Guo looked at Ji Guoyuan deeply, a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
According to the established plan, Yuichiro Tsugakuin should not have behaved so "arrogantly" at the meeting. Sengoku was afraid that Yuichiro Tsugakuin's arrogance would arouse the rebellious psychology of the lieutenant generals, but in fact, Sengoku also underestimated the terrifying influence that Yuichiro Tsugakuin had left on the hearts of the lieutenant generals.
Faced with a strong man like Yuichiro Tsugakuni, the lieutenant generals would naturally accept Yuichiro Tsugakuni's "arrogant" personality.
Even if Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro did not act tougher, it would be inconsistent with the original image of Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro in the minds of the lieutenant generals.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who dared to draw his sword against the Celestial Dragons, should have been such a strong man.
At this moment, the hawkish eyes among the lieutenant generals towards Yoriichi Tsugakuni had changed significantly, and the emotions of anger and fear were rapidly turning into fanaticism.
Everyone foresaw that the Marine Headquarters would become extremely powerful under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
Their Marine Headquarters will take over from the Celestial Dragons and rule the world!
At this time, seeing that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi and the lieutenant generals were "getting along well", a look of excitement appeared on his face.
Just like the calligraphy hanging in his office, what Zhan Guo pursued was "justice reigning over the world". Such a concept could not be realized during his time as the head of the Naval Headquarters, but it did not matter. At least Zhan Guo could witness with his own eyes the day when justice reigned over the world!
The meeting officially got on track after the announcement of the appointment of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
The holy land was destroyed and the Celestial Dragons were slaughtered by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni. The most important task of their Marine Headquarters at present is to maintain the current order of the world.
Even if the Celestial Dragons were gone, the current framework of the world today could not be adjusted immediately.
The headquarters of the navy still needs the supply of heavenly gold to maintain its operation, so it is necessary to conceal the news of the demise of the Celestial Dragons to a certain extent.
At the same time, in order to prevent the news from leaking too quickly, the Navy Headquarters must take action immediately to fully grasp the "legacy" left by the Celestial Dragons in this world.
The World Government or the Celestial Dragons have more than just the Marine Headquarters.
Before the Warring States Period, the Navy Marshal Kong Ganggu was once promoted to the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Holy Land.
The three armies here, except for the navy, the remaining two are the CP's special agent force and the armored guards who protect the holy land.
CP has two bases. In addition to the Holy Land, the other one is Judicial Island. At the meeting, Zhan Guo decided to let Sakaski lead the team personally and completely control all CP agents on Judicial Island. After mastering the CP roster, Zhan Guo will deal with these people as appropriate.
Either cutting or absorbing, in short, this force must not be isolated.
As for the last of the three armies, the armored guards who protected the holy land. Those people, along with the Celestial Dragons, had been destroyed under the sword of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Although the Celestial Dragons have been eliminated by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the political legacy they left behind is still very large.
In addition to the "three armies" formed by the World Government, the World Government has recruited talented scientific researchers from all over the world and established one secret experimental base after another around the world to conduct various experiments.
Among these experiments, some are specifically for the research of weapons for the navy, some are specifically for the research of epidemics, and some are biological experiments that require living people as experimental subjects. In addition to the various slaves purchased through slave groups, some people and races with special abilities will also become the experimental research subjects of the world government.
Every year, these experimental bases receive a large amount of experimental funds from the world government.
The Navy has very little say in the various experiments conducted in these laboratories. Their people are at best responsible for security tasks. Everything else is led by the God of Science and Defense, the former Five Elders, Saint Satan.
Today's Navy Headquarters must maintain its own justice, and some cruel human experiments must be stopped. This can also save a lot of money and is also a necessary part of the internal purification of the Navy.
Borsalino controls a naval force called the Science Corps and is deeply involved in the task of guarding various experimental bases.
At the meeting, while Zhan Guo sent Sakaski to handle the CP agents, he also sent Borsalino to conduct a comprehensive review of all existing experimental bases, stopping those that needed to be stopped and destroying those that needed to be destroyed.
At the same time, in order to strengthen the communication between the new navy and the naval headquarters and eliminate the estrangement between the two departments, Sengoku transferred his old friend Crane to the new navy and appointed Crane as the chief of staff of the new navy department.
This matter naturally had the consent of Tsugumi Yoriichi and Zephyr. This appointment by Sengoku nominally exercised the right to transfer personnel of the New Navy, and would not give people the feeling that "the New Navy is Tsugumi Yoriichi's private domain."
Of course, in reality, the New Navy is Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's private territory, and he does not intend to allow the New Navy to have too much contact with the troops of the Naval Headquarters.
Merging the two will ultimately be a lengthy process. Yunyi intends to invest some energy in the next generation of navy, so wouldn't it be fine for this generation to each live their own lives?!
After Zhan Guo arranged the next phase of the two generals' tasks, his tone became serious:
"It's almost time to collect the gold from heaven."
"This matter will be fully led by our Navy Headquarters this time."
"What I want to say is that the gold in the sky cannot be cancelled. It is the lifeblood of our navy."
"However, there's no need for us to be as mean and greedy as the Celestial Dragons when we collect Heavenly Gold."
"The amount collected from each member nation will remain unchanged for now, but I need you to record the actual living conditions of the member nations in detail when collecting the Heavenly Gold. Based on the living standards of the people, you will classify them as strong, weak, and non-contending nations."
"The collected Heavenly Gold will be used to support weaker and less competitive nations while maintaining the smooth operation of the headquarters."
"This is the focus of our Navy Headquarters' work in the next phase."
"This matter is under the full authority of General Tsugikoku Yoshiichi."
"Yuichi, Lieutenant General present, you may choose anyone to assist you in your work."
"The generals will select personnel for the three important tasks above."
"As for Admiral Magellan, you will be in charge of the headquarters. During this period, all matters related to the capture of pirates in the four seas will be concentrated on you. You will be fully responsible."
By the time this internal meeting of the navy's top brass ended, it was already evening.
After the meeting, when Jiguo Yuanyi walked out of the conference room, there were several more figures behind him.
The four members of the Navy are Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, Vice Admiral Spider, Vice Admiral Stierres and Vice Admiral Jonathan.
These people are the lieutenant generals selected by Yoriichi Tsugikuni to help him collect the Heavenly Gold and classify the member states of the World Government into different levels.
Even though there are only four of them, they are all number one figures in the navy. The troops they can mobilize and the power they possess are unimaginable to others.
These four people have distinct personalities: Flying Squirrel is upright, Ghost Spider is loyal, Stirles is smooth, and Jonathan is intelligent.
When facing member states with different national conditions, subordinates with different personalities need to be sent there. For member states with wise rulers and prosperous people, you can send Stirles or Spider Ghost. They have different personalities, but what they have in common is that they are tough and typical hawks.
When facing weak countries with incompetent rulers, Jonathan can be sent. He can measure the balance between people's livelihood and heavenly gold well.
For those member states that cannot become rich due to geographical location or environmental restrictions, they can send flying squirrels. Flying squirrels are upright. Although they are methodical in their work, they are compassionate. After collecting the heavenly gold, they will record the national conditions truthfully and report them to Jigoku Yoriichi. Yoriichi can also measure how to use the heavenly gold to give back to these weak countries based on the national conditions reported by him and help the development of these weak countries.
Collecting the Heavenly Gold is a major project for the Naval Headquarters. At the same time, whether the collection of the Heavenly Gold goes smoothly is directly related to the future survival of the Naval Headquarters.
In the past, such matters were always led by the CP, and the navy was only responsible for escort missions.
When Yoriichi Tsugakuni briefly stayed at the Naval Headquarters, it did not become a regular practice for the Navy to collect Tianshangjin. But this time, we must make a good start.
Without the constraints of the Celestial Dragons, there is no doubt that the current tentative amount of Tianshang Gold must be high. What's more, the Navy Headquarters also plans to close some experimental bases, which are money-eating beasts.
The amount and proportion of Tianshang Gold can be reduced, and Jiguo Yuanyi is very clear about this.
However, this must be considered based on the dynamics of different national conditions. In the initial years, it would be better to temporarily benefit the general public in the form of feeding back.
Even if the Navy Headquarters took the initiative to reduce the amount of Sky Gold, the nobles of certain countries might not necessarily reduce the tax burden on the people. After all, those nobles are not money-averse, and they might not refuse the Sky Gold that the Navy doesn't want.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi never underestimates the evil in human nature. Over the years, he has seen countless such things, and naturally he will make the same mistakes again.
Not only the nobles of the allied nations, but even within the Navy Headquarters itself, how many people can be fully trusted?!
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi didn't know, so he could only choose a few lieutenant generals who he liked, and believed that under his leadership, they could complete the mission successfully.
The next morning.
The Navy Headquarters’ own publicity channels announced a piece of news to the world.
The long-missing Yoriichi Tsugikuni has returned and completed his mission in the New World. He returned to the Naval Headquarters and not only was his rank of Admiral restored, but he was also appointed Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters.
This news was not only published in all media newspapers closely related to the Navy, but even the Navy's internal military newspaper published Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's new appointment and informed all branch navies around the world.
At the same time, Yixiao and others in Wanguo also received relevant information from Yuichiro Tsugakuni, and learned what happened in the holy land. They also informed Yuichiro Tsugakuni that his next job would be to help the Navy Headquarters collect the gold from the sky.
Yixiao had done similar work before and knew how busy Tsugakuni Yoriichi would be in the future. Therefore, during the conversation with Tsugakuni Yoriichi, in order to allow Yoriichi to focus on the development of the navy, he selectively concealed the fact that Kuma and Abel heard Joyboy's call.
Yixiao planned to ask Mihawk to deal with the matter first. If even Mihawk couldn't handle it, it wouldn't be too late to inform Jigoku Yoshiichi.
In Yixiao's opinion, nothing is more important at the moment than the Marine Headquarters filling the power vacancy of the Celestial Dragons!
It was hard to say whether his judgment was right or wrong. When Mihawk learned the relevant news, he immediately took Abel and Kuma out to sea without hesitation, heading towards the direction where the "Drum of Liberation" was beating.
When Yoriichi Tsugikuni was preparing to carry out drastic reforms in the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, undercurrents were surging in the New World, and an unknown powerful man also set sail from Elbaf, which had rarely had contact with the outside world.
