Tsugikuni Yoriichi replaced Sengoku and had almost absolute say in Maynard's transfer.
When Yoriichi assigned Maynard to go to the New World, his tone was very calm, as if he was saying something that was a matter of course.
What surprised everyone in the conference room was that in the face of such obviously excessive behavior by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, Sengoku, as the Navy Admiral, did not show any dissatisfaction at all. Instead, his behavior showed his approval of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's decision.
Such a scene also made the generals attending the meeting think rapidly, and they were all guessing in their minds what kind of decision had been reached between Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku.
At the same time, the generals' attention was focused on Maynard.
Now it depends on how Maynard, this "thorn", responds. The lieutenant generals can also carefully observe what Sengoku and Tsugaru Yoriichi are planning through how they handle this matter, so as to make plans for their own future.
At this point, the vice admirals are no fools. They are all very clear about the impact that the destruction of the holy land may have on their naval headquarters.
The fact that Yoriichi Tsugikuni appears here with Sengoku at this time actually explains a lot of things.
Previously, because the destruction of the holy land was so shocking, the generals had no time to think about it in a short period of time. Now that they have had some time to react, these lieutenant generals have become more active.
This world can function without anyone, even without the Celestial Dragons who are called "Creators".
For their naval headquarters, isn't this incident a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
It is true that among the dozens of lieutenant generals in the conference room there are indeed some guys who are loyal to the World Government, but the vast majority of people who can reach the position of lieutenant general have a vision that is no longer comparable to that of ordinary people.
People become very different after being nurtured by rights.
Most people have no way to refuse the convenience brought by power, and after getting used to the convenience brought by power, they will not easily let go of the power in their hands. On the contrary, those in power who have tasted the sweetness of power will find ways to expand the power in their hands.
On this road, if you don't move forward, you will move backward.
Previously, the Marine Headquarters was under the pressure of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, but now, the Celestial Dragons have been eliminated by Yoriichi Tsugikuni. To put it bluntly, the World Government is just an alliance organization without military forces, and now it is dead in name only.
It is foreseeable that if the Naval Headquarters can continue to exist, the power held by the naval commanders will become increasingly greater without the shackles.
Bigger than anyone could imagine.
When they thought of this, the eagerness in the eyes of the generals was revealed, and the way some people looked at Maynard also changed.
Maynard, whose blood was boiling at this moment, did not notice that the atmosphere in the conference room had quietly changed.
At this moment, he heard that Jiguo Yuanyi was actually taking over the job and giving him orders on behalf of Zhan Guo. He could not bear it at all. He stood up and pointed at Jiguo Yuanyi and said angrily:
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi! I admit that you are very powerful, far beyond the reach of someone like me."
"But aren't you showing off in the wrong place? This is the Marine Headquarters, not your Wan Guo."
"What qualifications do you have to dictate my appointment?!"
Maynard was obviously still confused about the situation. Thinking that he was in the headquarters of the Navy, Maynard didn't want to pay any attention to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi. Obviously, he also disagreed with the "transfer order" mentioned by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi.
Maynard's words also resonated with some lieutenant generals. Not everyone would be afraid of the terrifying strength of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi. Even though Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's strength was much stronger than all the lieutenant generals present, this did not mean that these lieutenant generals would listen to Tsugakuni Yoshiichi obediently.
What's more, some of these vice admirals are loyal to the World Government. They are extremely disgusted with Tsugakuni Yoriichi and are unwilling to obey his orders.
Moreover, seeing that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not use any drastic measures against Maynard, these people also developed a sense of luck in their hearts, thinking that since Tsugakuni Yoshiichi intended to control the headquarters of the Navy, he would definitely not carry out a large-scale purge.
Otherwise, the military morale will be unstable and there is a high possibility of mutiny among the people below.
Don't think that there will be no mutiny in such an extraordinary world. When the grassroots soldiers and commanders are alienated, it is not uncommon for the subordinates to kill their superiors and defect.
It's just that such things are shameful after all, so they were concealed by the navy.
In principle, Tsugakuni Yoriichi really wanted to take over the power of the Naval Headquarters smoothly and did not want to cause too much bloodshed.
In Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's view, the cancer has been removed by him, and creating another bloody incident is not in line with Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi's expectations.
After all, he had some feelings for the navy. When he first came to this world, the first people who brought him warmth were the navy.
But if you think that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi will relax his control over the navy, you are totally wrong!
He could forgive Maynard's rudeness, and even allow an "undisciplined" person like Maynard to continue to stay in the navy, but Tsugikuni Yoshiichi would never allow his existence to be ignored by these vice admirals.
To control the headquarters of the navy, it is absolutely impossible without authority.
"Lieutenant General Maynard, there is something I said before that may not have been clear."
"From today on, the new navy led by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni will officially return to the naval headquarters."
"Previously, due to the needs of combat, the New Navy was formed under the leadership of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. However, due to the instigation of the World Government, a horrific incident of fratricide occurred among the navy."
"Now, we have cleared out those who caused the internal conflicts in the navy."
"After years of hard work, the New Navy has brought the New World to a temporary state of stability. Their mission in the New World has also come to an end. Therefore, from today on, the New Navy will return to its headquarters."
"And Tsugikuni Yoriichi has also been reinstated as a Navy Admiral."
"In the future, our Navy Headquarters will have to deal with more and more things, and our voice in the world political environment will become increasingly important."
"Tsuru and I are already old, and we can't do this kind of heavy work for many more years. Therefore, I appoint Admiral Yoshikazu Tsugakuni as the Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters. After I retire, he will succeed him as the Fleet Admiral."
However, before Jiguoyuan could get angry, Zhan Guo stood up and announced the news.
The new navy returned to the navy headquarters, and Kuniyoshi resumed his position as admiral.
Either of these two things would cause a huge uproar if it were to be spread to the outside world, and this was also what Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku had discussed in advance.
After his rank of general was restored and he served in the General Staff, he held an important position after Guo Yuanyi returned to the Naval Headquarters.
The decision not to let Yoriichi Tsugakuni return to the Naval Headquarters and directly become the so-called Naval Admiral was actually made by Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Sengoku after careful consideration.
Zhan Guo decided to lend a final helping hand to Ji Guo Yuan Yi. The news of the destruction of the holy land could not be concealed. By then, it was still unknown how the world's public opinion would trend.
The Celestial Dragons have been operating for hundreds of years. Who knows how many nobles in this world are wholeheartedly following the Celestial Dragons?
The reason why Sengoku continued to serve as the Navy Admiral was to help Tsugakuin Yoshiichi share some of the pressure of public opinion. At the same time, he could also do some of the dirty work on behalf of Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and bear some of the infamy.
When Yoriichi Tsugakuni ascends to the position of Admiral of the Navy a few years later, he will be the most "popular" one among all the navy and people.
Of course, this is not an easy thing. It does not mean that if Sengoku announces that Tsugakuni Yoriichi and his new navy will return to the headquarters, the new navy will be able to live in harmony with the headquarters navy.
But this is a good entry point. As for how to bridge the slight rift between the new navy and the naval headquarters in the future, it depends on how the top leaders act.
Both Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku are very confident about this.
The army may change but the camp remains the same. In a few years, the unfamiliarity and estrangement will disappear.
By that time, their navy should have swept the world and become the true ruler of this world.
"Admiral of the Navy?"
"Chief of Staff of the headquarters?" The news announced by Zhan Guo in succession shocked everyone speechless. Maynard looked at Zhan Guo in amazement, his eyes full of disbelief.
However, just as he was about to say something, Sakaski, who was standing at the side of the conference table, interrupted him:
"Maynard, shut up!"
"Whatever you want to say now, remember your identity!"
"You are just a lieutenant general. Marshal Zhan Guo's decision is not yours to make."
Sakaski seemed to have anticipated that Maynard would not be convinced, and hurriedly warned him before he said something irreversible.
Sakaski is actually a person who protects his own people. After all, Maynard is from his lineage, and he doesn't want to see Maynard completely ruin his future because of his confrontation with Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
Things have developed to this point, and there is still room for Maynard. Sakaski knows Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, and he will not really care about such a small matter.
But if Maynard continues to resist, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi will definitely not show mercy in order to quickly establish prestige in the Navy Headquarters.
"General Sakaski?!"
Maynard swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. After looking deeply at Jigoku Yoshiichi and Sengoku, he could only bow without saying a word, and then sat back in his seat silently.
At this time, after being reminded repeatedly by Sakaski, his mind finally became clearer.
After the adrenaline faded, Maynard couldn't help but sweat profusely as he sat in his chair. Only then did he realize what a foolish thing he had just done.
The holy land was destroyed. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi regained his status as admiral of the navy and even became the chief of staff of the navy headquarters. What this means is too obvious to be true.
It seems that Yoriichi Tsugakuni is about to take over the Naval Headquarters.
Moreover, judging from the way Tsugikuni Yoriichi and Sengoku get along, the two of them had already reached an agreement, and the other generals turned a blind eye to this situation. Even General Sakaski, who had the hottest temper and the most upright character, chose to remain silent in such a situation.
He is just a lieutenant general, but he actually jumped out to contradict Tsugikuni Yuichi and Sengoku.
Maynard raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, only to feel weak.
At this time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi also took over the conversation and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your kindness, Marshal Zhan Guo."
"Being able to return to the Navy Headquarters has actually always been what I longed for."
"Something did happen between the New Navy and the Navy Headquarters before, but let the past be the past. After all, both I and the headquarters were forced to do so at the time."
"For the survival of the navy and for the survival of justice, necessary compromises are unavoidable."
"But from now on, our navy will no longer be constrained by anything."
"No one will restrict our navy's actions anymore, and we can finally do what we really want to do according to our own will."
"Everyone present here is the core backbone of our navy, so I will speak frankly."
"Before this, the Navy had to do many things that were unavoidable. Some of the missions you carried out could be considered just, while others could only be described as aiding and abetting the evil."
"But now that the tiger is dead, I hope you can truly return to your jobs."
"Be a pure Navy and practice what you thought and wanted when you first joined the Navy."
"What I want to tell you is that your conscience and justice will be your life-saving talismans."
"Those who go beyond the norm will not be able to continue to stay in the navy."
Having said this, Ji Guoyuan paused, looked at Maynard, and continued:
"Lieutenant General Maynard, didn't you just ask me what my qualifications are?"
"What I want to tell you is that I, Yuichiro Tsugikoku, am the one who has the right to speak!"
As he spoke, Jiguo Yuanyi's aura exploded, and the terrifying domineering aura instantly pressed down on everyone in the conference room. It condensed into a substantial domineering aura and even directly bombarded the wall, causing cracks to appear on the wall of the conference room.
Just the overflowing domineering aura was enough to cause such destructive power to the thick walls. The many generals who were the targets of Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's domineering aura felt as if they were carrying a huge rock weighing thousands of pounds on their backs, and their breathing became rapid.
The weaker lieutenant generals could not sit still and were directly pushed to the ground. The stronger lieutenant generals also struggled to hold on, and managed to raise their heads and look in the direction of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
Not to mention these lieutenant generals, several generals also felt a sudden pressure on their bodies, and their muscles tensed up.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi looked around, seeing the ugly behavior of many generals in the conference room, and his voice returned to its usual coldness:
"There is one thing that needs to be made clear."
"This world is cruel. Speaking with strength is the most basic thing!"
"I hope each of you can remember this, train yourselves, and not bring shame to the Marine Headquarters!"
