In the "New World", G-5 Naval Branch Base, naval soldiers came and went in full swing to complete their respective military tasks.
One day has passed since the "Charlotte Silent Battle."
They still know very little about how everything happened, but they have figured out the general outline of the war process.
A report compiled by Dasqi who worked overtime personally was placed on the desk of the base director.
"Acting Base Commander" Rear Admiral Smoker took two puffs of his cigar, exhaled the slightly smelly smoke, looked up at the rotating fan blades, and was lost in thought.
As the naval branch closest to the "Battle of the New and Old Four Emperors" between Davy Jones and Charlotte Lingling, it is of course the obligation here to detect all possible disturbances and then report them to the Navy Headquarters.
Smoker and Dusky were also well prepared, and all scouts were dispatched, but they were not too close to avoid being affected.
It can be said that although they cannot know exactly the actions of Davy Jones and Charlotte Lingling, their general trajectory can be determined.
Smoker watched them getting closer and closer, and soon there would be a big fight.
He was even prepared to go in person to inquire about information when necessary to obtain the latest news.
Smog and Dasqi had made rough guesses that the war would probably last for about a week, and the surrounding people would be devastated.
However, it was only two days after Davy Jones came into contact with Charlotte Lingling... No, it should be less than two days, and the Big Mom Pirates were almost completely wiped out?
How is this going?
Smoker was puzzled.
If multiple scouts hadn't come back with the same information, he wouldn't have believed it.
When did the Big Mom Pirates become so vulnerable?
If it was really that "fish belly", the Navy Headquarters would have dealt with it long ago.
However, under the attack of the Davy Jones Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates couldn't hold on for even two days and were completely defeated?
How did this happen?
Smoker can work backwards from the results and analyze the various causes of the Big Mom Pirates' defeat.
For example, leaving the familiar waters of the Totland Kingdom and attacking the unfamiliar territory of the Davy Jones Pirates with great fanfare.
For example, the formation is stretched, the fleet is dispersed, and they have to face the undersea invasion of the Davy Jones Pirates.
For another example, there were disagreements within the Big Mom Pirates. The long-distance raids left many low-level soldiers without any rest and they had to rush into the battlefield immediately. At the same time, they did not carry enough ammunition and weapons.
All in all, Smoker could even write a book, and publishing it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, the most important factor was Charlotte Lingling's defeat by Davy Jones.
As long as Charlotte Lingling is undefeated, all the above-mentioned reasons for defeat will only be factors in the Big Mom Pirates' tragic victory.
But, the most terrible thing was that Charlotte Lingling lost, which was enough to decide the outcome.
Smoker was thinking, before this "Battle of the Four Emperors", how many people would think that "Big Mom" would lose and "King of Hell" would win?
"Big Mom" has ruled the Kingdom of Totland for decades and is extremely powerful. Most people are definitely betting on her, even "Ama Yasha" Doflamingo is no exception.
However, there are also a minority like Smoker who felt from the beginning that this war would be won by Davy Jones.
The closer Smoker got, the more he understood the threat of Davy Jones...
Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything about it.
Let's not talk about the fact that the Navy Headquarters prohibits the G-5 branch from attacking. Let's just say that even if he gets stubborn and ignores the order and leads the attack, it will be like a fight with all the members.
Smoker would never make fun of the lives of Dasqi and the subordinates of the G-5 branch, fighting a war that was completely impossible to win and would not achieve any strategic purpose even if everyone sacrificed it.
Finally, Smoker came back from his thoughts and decided to contact Navy Marshal Sengoku.
He picked up the receiver of the phone bug, and the phone bug immediately opened his eyes from sleep.
After a long time, it connected with the phone bug in the Marshal's Office at the Navy Headquarters on the other side of the Red Continent.
Smoker briefed Admiral Sengoku on the battle situation ahead.
Of course, the navy welcomed Warring States' return to the position of marshal, but there were many eccentric people in the outside world.
However, Smoker knew how important Sengoku's stay was to the Navy Headquarters. It was definitely not "greed for power" or "dictatorship" as the outside world said.
Sengoku could have acted willfully like Sakaski and Kuzan, and retired directly without caring about the situation of the navy, and no one could stop him.
But the Warring States Period did not. Instead, he faced ridicule and returned to the position of marshal again, and chose the path of keeping a low profile and biding his time for the Navy Headquarters, which was destined to bear more infamy.
During the call, Warring States remained silent except for a few initial questions.
Occasionally, he would say "um", "um", "um", as if he was listening to an insignificant report.
After Smoker revealed everything he knew about the G-5 branch, Sengoku finally spoke again.
But the topic he was talking about was another matter.
"Smog." Warring States said, "Major General Tina's mental state has improved a lot after receiving psychological treatment."
Because Tina's condition was similar to Kuzan's, before a complete solution to the "curse" was found, Tina was sent to the Navy Headquarters to recuperate.
Smoker didn't expect that Zhan Gui would suddenly mention Tina, and was startled.
However, he was indeed concerned about his friend's situation and asked: "Is it possible for her to return to the front line of the Navy?"
"The psychiatrist's expectations are very optimistic." Sengoku replied, "Also, regarding Vergo, it has been confirmed that he is a spy sent by Doflamingo, 'Ten Yasha'. I really didn't expect it. I didn't know it before. figure it out……"
Smoker noticed that Sengoku kept changing the topic and frowned.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period..."
"I understand what you want to ask." Sengoku sighed and said, "Listen, what you have to do is to continue to observe the movements of the Davy Jones Pirates, and I will issue two orders soon. "
"First, the G-5 branch will be moved from its original location. Second, you will be promoted to one level, and Dasqi will be promoted to two levels and will be responsible for the construction of the new base of the G-5 branch."
Smoker was taken aback, and then slowly recovered. He understood that this was a helpless move by Warring States.
The current G-5 branch is like a piece of meat sticking into the mouth of the Davy Jones Pirates. If it is not removed in time, it will be the fate of the Big Mom Pirates.
The Navy Headquarters still does not have exact combat power that can be used to support Smoker and his G-5 branch, so avoiding war is the best choice.
When did their navy headquarters become what it is now?
It should be "war on top", right?
After all, before this, the Navy Headquarters was able to cope with the "old four emperors" pattern.
An unprecedented battle severely damaged the strength of the Navy Headquarters.
Later, the differences between "Akainu" and "Aoji" turned into internal fighting.
It indirectly led to the death of "Akainu" in battle, the escape of "Aokiji", and the situation of "Kizaru" being alone, and it also dealt a heavy blow to the Navy Headquarters.
However, even if he understood this, Smoker still didn't like the inexplicable promotion.
He did not make any merit at all, he was promoted to the position of lieutenant general just because the navy needed more manpower, and Dasqi was also promoted to major...
Sengoku seemed to see through Smoker's thoughts from Smoker's silence.
His voice on the other end of the phone deepened.
"Since Davy Jones entered the 'New World', he first killed Sakaski and then Charlotte Lingling. He really never kills unknown people..."
Smoker pondered for a while, realizing that Warring States was helpless, and did not resist as stubbornly as before.
"Marshal, I will obey your orders."
"Well..." Warring States paused, and then said, "Patience, Smog, through the 'World Recruitment Order' and internal selection, I have four 'general candidates' candidates."
The so-called "general candidates" are candidates who may fill the vacancies of Sakaski and Kuzan.
"Which four are they?" Smoker couldn't help but ask.
"You should have heard about them a little bit. All four of them are quite famous." Sengoku said, "Issei, Aramaki, Gion, and Kaki."
Smoker thought for a moment and roughly recalled the images of these people.
Their combat power is indeed extraordinary, and several of them are not from the navy, but just guard one side like Ren Xia.
"Have you decided on your candidate for general?"
"Well, one person has been confirmed, but it has not been announced yet." Sengoku is not worried that Smoker will tell anyone. Smoker is not the kind of person to talk too much. "'Fujitora' will be a good general in his life, right?"
"What about the rest?"
"There are only two vacant general positions, and there are too many monks and too few people... I plan to give them a common task and make a choice based on their performance."
