Tianzheng's clear and loud voice was heard in the office, and at this moment, the eyes of Jiguo Yuanyi and Rudy fell on Tianzheng.
Naval Headquarters Criminal Investigation Division?
This was the first time that Yuichi Tsuchikuni heard the name of this department. Before this, he had never heard of any information about this department.
Although Jikuni Yuanyi has been in the navy for many years and has not stayed in the headquarters as long as others, he is familiar with the basic department structure of the headquarters. Therefore, when he looked at Tianzheng, there was some doubt in his eyes.
Although he had never heard of the Criminal Investigation Division, it did not prevent Tsugikuni Yoshiichi from recognizing Tenzheng's identity. The reason was very simple. In this world, there was probably no one who would forge such an identity to deceive others.
Even the person he deceived was a naval admiral like Yoshikazu Tsugakuni!
"Major General Tianzheng?"
"Come in."
Jiguo Yuanyi slowly stood up from his seat, walked to the door, looked Tianzheng up and down, stretched out his hand and gestured towards the sofa, and said with a smile.
"yes!"
"You guys wait outside."
Tianzheng straightened his body, gave some instructions to his subordinates outside the door, and then walked into the office.
Lieutenant Colonel Rudy is also a sharp-eyed man, and at this moment, his mind is working rapidly.
According to Major General Amane, he came to the East China Sea this time to investigate some things. Although the Major General of the headquarters seemed to respect Yoshikazu Tsugakuni very much, his words and deeds were subtly targeting Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
This made Rudy smell something unusual.
After Tsuchikuni Yoshiichi and Amane sat down on the sofa, Rudy made a cup of tea for each of them and then hurriedly left the office.
He didn't want to get involved in the struggle among the navy's top brass.
The Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a Navy admiral?
Just thinking about this kind of thing makes Rudy feel creepy.
After Rudy left, Tianzheng pushed his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, sat on the sofa, and looked at Jiguo Yuanyi quietly. This was the first time he sat face to face with Jiguo Yuanyi at such a close distance.
Before this, he had only seen Yuichiro Tsugakuni from afar at the Navy's internal awarding ceremony, or had seen Yuichiro Tsugakuni's photo in the newspaper published by Morgans.
A little different from the young man I met back then, the current Tsugikuni Yoriichi has a sense of authority that comes from being intimidating without even getting angry.
This is not the so-called aura, it's the first impression given to people.
"Major General Amane, what are you looking at?" The first to break the silence was Yoriichi Tsugakuin. Yoriichi Tsugakuin reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, holding it in his palm, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked.
"Excuse me, General Tsugikoku-Yoichi."
"You are a little different from what was rumored."
Even when sitting on the sofa, Tianzheng still sat very upright, with his hands flat on his knees, looking very serious.
Seeing Tianzheng's reserved look, Jiguo Yuan leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile:
"Relax, Major General Tianzheng."
"You said I'm different from what's rumored. What am I like in the rumors?"
Tianzheng's posture was still quite straight. Hearing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's question, Tianzheng shook his head and said, "Those are just rumors. You don't have to take them to heart."
After a pause, Tian Zheng reached into his arms and fumbled around for a while before pulling out a folded document bag. He then placed it on the coffee table and officially got to the point:
"General Tsugikokuenichi."
"I came to the East Sea this time because I was commissioned by Marshal Zhan Guo to investigate the murder of the royal family and nobles of the Kingdom of Moor."
"Were you the one who captured those people and ordered the execution of King Moor and his men?"
At this point, Tianzheng's tone became low and solemn. Although the sunglasses obscured Tianzheng's eyes, Tsugumi Yoriichi could still sense the vigilance conveyed by the other's gaze.
"yes."
Without any hesitation, he confessed everything!
Although he had expected it, Tianzheng's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he heard the answer from Ji Guoyuan.
"General Tsugikoku Yoshida, Marshal Sengoku has read the report you submitted to headquarters, and I have read it as well."
"Your report is exactly why our criminal investigation team is here."
"Are all the things your navy did in that report true?"
Instead of dwelling on the deeds of the royal family and nobles of the Moorish Kingdom, the focus was placed on the actions of the navy.
Hearing Tianzheng's question, the smile on Ji Guoyuan's face slowly faded, turning into an indifferent expression. He glanced at Tianzheng and replied:
"Yes, I was the one who ordered the arrest, and I was also the one who ordered the execution."
"It is necessary to clean up the scum who disregard human life and enslave people."
Jiguo Yuanyi leaned on the sofa, nodded and said.
Faced with Tsugakuni Yoriichi's answer, Tianzheng couldn't help but let out a sigh. Looking at Tsugakuni Yoriichi with an indifferent expression, as if he had done something insignificant, he felt sorry for him sincerely.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi himself did not realize that what he had done had already caused a huge uproar in this ocean.
The Navy bypassed the World Government and captured and killed the royal families and nobles of the member states?
This kind of thing rarely happens in the hundreds of years of naval history, and every time it happens, the "protagonists" who do those things will be sentenced to death by the World Government and the Navy.
The royal families and nobles of the member states are the face of the World Government.
Even if the royal families of the member states make mistakes, only the World Government and the world's noble Celestial Dragons can judge them!
This judge must not be a navy!
The navy can be understood as the army that protects the World Government. The World Government will never allow this army to escape from its control.
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni killed CP9, CP0, and even the Knights of God.
But that's different. Every time a similar incident occurs, the Navy and the World Government will tacitly help Yoriichi Tsugakuni to conceal it, and at the same time put the blame on the pirates or the Revolutionary Army.
Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the Navy, and the World Government have always been one and the same, and the two are closely connected.
But this time, the incident was different. Tsugakuni Yoriichi's purge of the Moorish royal family and nobles had been publicized before the navy could silence them. Through the Morgause newspapers, the whole world knew that Tsugakuni Yoriichi had turned his butcher knife on the nobles.
This is something the princes and nobles of the member states of the World Government cannot tolerate.
As a navy officer, what position and status do you have to judge the kings of these member states? Even the World Government has never directly interfered in the internal affairs of their kingdoms, let alone tried and killed a kingdom.
This is something that challenges the bottom line of the world government, and it has been publicized.
Even pirates as vicious as Crocodile and Doflamingo never attacked royal families when they stole countries; Im attacked Cobra and put the blame on Sabo. There is no other person as unscrupulous as Yoriichi Tsugakuni.
I'm afraid this would only happen to those pirates who don't care about tomorrow after today.
In other words, in the minds of some people, the actions of Admiral Yoshikazu Tsugakuni are no different from those of those vicious pirates!
"General Jiguo Yuanyi"
Tianzheng saw that Tsugikoku Yoriichi didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and was speechless for a moment. After taking a deep breath, Tianzheng continued:
"Whatever the Moorish royal family and nobles do is their country's internal affairs."
"They are a member of the World Government. Even the World Government cannot interfere with how their country operates."
"Every country has its own laws. What laws are you judging them based on?"
"Are they researching the history that disappeared 100 years ago? Or are they not paying the heavenly gold?"
The World Government has certain administrative powers over its member states, but this administration is not in the form of comprehensive laws that all member states must implement.
The World Government only imposes some bans. As long as the member states do not violate the bans, the World Government will not interfere in all other matters.
There are three issues that the World Government or the Celestial Dragons are most concerned about.
First: It is strictly forbidden to study blank history.
Second: Pay the heavenly gold on time and in full.
Third: The Celestial Dragons have absolute authority and cannot be challenged.
Violation of any of these rules may result in judgment by the World Government. As for the nobles of the member states who enslave their citizens and take human lives, the World Government will not care at all.
Even if member states fight against each other, the World Government will not intervene to mediate.
Tianzheng has been in the navy for many years. Due to the requirements of his position, Tianzheng has a clear understanding of some things. He has always known that the justice of the navy has boundaries.
Moreover, Tian Zheng himself also believes that justice also needs to be placed within rules and regulations, otherwise, justice will be corrupted.
In Tianzheng's opinion, the person in front of him, Yoriichi Tsugakuni, has reached the critical point of degeneration. If he is not controlled, one day, Yoriichi Tsugakuni will be completely swallowed up by the power he possesses. He can judge the princes and nobles of the Moorish Kingdom today, and he can judge anyone tomorrow!
The standard of trial was also defined by Tsugikoku Yuichi himself, which is a very scary thing.
"Studying the blank world history is like delaying the payment of gold from heaven."
“In this country, we have neither.”
"The reason for killing them, as I've already stated in the report, is that they captured people as slaves and wantonly killed ordinary people."
"Is this behavior any different from pirates?"
"As the Admiral of the Navy, what's wrong with me executing these scum?"
In response to Tian Zheng's question, Ji Guoyuanyi ignored it, put the teacup on the table and put his hands behind his back.
"Major General Tianzheng, didn't our headquarters send you here to investigate whether I have wronged them?"
"You're now obsessed with whether I'm qualified to judge them. Isn't the focus of your investigation a bit off?"
"I don't have that much time to waste with you!"
Tsuchikuni Yoriichi said lightly. Although his tone was calm, Tianzheng also felt a hint of impatience from Tsuchikuni Yoriichi's words.
"No"
"I'm not here to investigate whether you have wronged them."
"Marshal Zhan Guo doesn't think you will lie."
"He just asked me to confirm whether this matter was ordered by you personally."
"If so"
"I'm about to take you back to headquarters!"
Tianzheng raised his head, his hands clenched into fists on his knees, and spoke in a low voice.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Tianzheng quietly. Facing Tsugikoku Yoriichi's gaze, Tianzheng also took the initiative to meet it, looking at Tsugikoku Yoriichi at eye level, and said:
"General, you really did something wrong."
"I'm not saying your judgment is flawed, it's just..."
"The arrest and trial shouldn't all be done by you."
"Especially targeting the royal families of member states."
Tian Zheng had already said this much, and it was clear to Yuichiro Tsugikuni what he meant.
After seeing what Tsugakuni Yoriichi did, Sengoku must be very worried. He is worried that if Tsugakuni Yoriichi continues like this, he will become a naval admiral who possesses great power and acts recklessly in the name of "justice."
The incident of the Moore Kingdom was somewhat different from the incident of attacking the Celestial Dragon fleet. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was fully capable of arresting the people of the Moore Kingdom and sending them to Judicial Island for trial, but Tsugakuin Yoshiichi did not.
In the long run, Sengoku felt that this would be detrimental to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's growth.
After all, people are people, and they always have desires. It is absolutely impossible for people's judgment to always be correct.
In Sengoku's eyes, Yoriichi Tsugakuni needs some restraint.
The office fell silent.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi didn't say anything, and neither did Tensei.
Tianzheng is waiting, waiting for Tsugaru Yoshiichi to make a decision. He will not use force against Tsugaru Yoshiichi. If he wants to use force against Tsugaru Yoshiichi, he will not come, right?
Tenma only hopes that Tsugumi Yoriichi can figure it out on his own.
If Tsugakuni Yoriichi is really the future of the navy, he will definitely be able to figure out the disadvantages of his behavior. He will take the initiative to put shackles on his rights instead of extending them indefinitely.
Tian Zheng hoped in his heart that Ji Guoyuan would come to his senses.
Because if he can't figure it out.
There will no longer be a place for Yoriichi Tsugakuni in the Navy.
This is the will of Marshal Zhan Guo!
Just when Tenma was talking to Tsugumi Yoshikazu.
Far away in the Marine Headquarters in Marinford, Zhan Guo was standing by the window at this moment, looking at the young sailors who were training on the distant coast, his eyes were deep, and a thousand thoughts were in his mind.
Behind him, Zephyr, Garp and Crane were sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table.
The entire office was quite quiet, with only the sound of Garp eating senbei coming from time to time.
"Will he come back?"
After a long time, Karp's voice broke the silence in the office.
Crane glanced sideways at Garp, then put his hands behind his back and lowered his head again.
Zephyr glanced at Garp and said, "If he still thinks of himself as a marine."
"Yes."
After the words were spoken, the office fell silent again.
After a long time, Garp's voice came back: "Zefar, how old is that kid this year?"
Zephyr glanced at Garp in confusion and replied, "Already 21."
"I've been in the Navy for nine years!"
"But you're still as reckless as ever when it comes to doing things, Zefa. Your education is really not that good!"
Garp mumbled as he ate a senbei in his mouth.
Hearing this, veins on Zephyr's forehead bulged. He suppressed his anger and ignored Garp.
Seeing that Zefa ignored him, Garp suddenly stopped eating, touched his chin, and suddenly said:
"Over the years, I haven't seen him show any interest in any girl."
"Tell me, if this guy falls in love, has a family and children, will his personality change a little?"
"I always feel that he has a constant sense of urgency. If this continues, he will become paranoid. For a navy, especially one as powerful as his, this is absolutely a terrible thing."
After Garp finished speaking, Zephyr and Tsuru couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Garp. Even Sengoku, who was standing by the window, couldn't help but turn his head and look at Garp.
Hey! Don’t tell me, don’t tell me!
You, an unreliable guy, actually discovered the blind spot and put forward a constructive suggestion!
Zhan Guo was just about to speak when he heard a ringing sound from his desk. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, quickly walked over to the desk, and quickly picked up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Tian Zheng's voice came:
"Marshal of the Warring States Period."
"General Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, he... uh."
At this moment, a voice familiar to everyone in the field replaced Tenma's voice and came from the Den Den Mushi:
"Moses Moses?"
"I'm Yoriichi Tsugikoku."
"Marshal Zhan Guo, this Tian Zheng is very good and a talented person. I hope he can stay here as an inspector."
"Inspector Tianzheng will be able to promptly report my subsequent actions to the headquarters."
"Well, that's it."
