"After reorganization, the New World Navy currently has a headquarters and seven branches."
"First, the headquarters is numbered G-0, covering Bernard Island and six surrounding shuttle bases, with a permanent force of 30,000 troops."
"Of course, in the past year, because veterans need to rotate to the main island for training, and new recruits have to start recruit training, the number of people stationed in the island may reach about 70,000 in the short term."
"The home port of the First Fleet is set to be the headquarters, Bernard Island."
"Second, the original G-5 branch was renamed G-1 branch, with a permanent strength of 20,000 troops. The reason is the same as above. Due to the temporary rotation of participating in training, the short-term strength can only maintain 10,000 troops."
"At the same time, the fourth fleet's home port has just been set as the G1 branch."
"As for the mission of the G-1 branch..."
"Sea patrol of Dressrosa and the 28 surrounding islands, and..."
"Intercept all pirates entering the New World from the Fish-Man Island route, and completely cut off this channel that is a blood transfusion for the New World's pirate power!"
"Finally, the head of the G-1 branch is Lieutenant General Jonathan!"
Some people knew about Jonathan and the lieutenants and generals in the conference room, and some did not.
Among them, the one who is most familiar with him is definitely Akainu.
After all, the two are old friends, and Akainu is very aware of Jonathan's abilities.
If it weren't for the split of the navy, the number of lieutenant generals that Sean could leave from the headquarters was limited, and as soon as he entered the new world, he would have to face the threats of the three imperial regiments and countless new world pirate groups, Akainu would definitely Suggest Sean take Jonathan away.
Although Jonathan's strength is not outstanding, his management and command abilities are second to none in the navy.
Managing a G8 branch with only a thousand people and a few broken ships, to be honest...
It's simply a waste of talent.
But now that Sean has recruited him, he can finally let his old friend show off his talents.
Tsk tsk...
Twenty thousand sailors, plus an entire fleet, and I heard that there are eight latest underwater warships in this fleet.
Akainu is extremely envious.
You must know that the New World Navy currently has only four fleets in total. The first fleet is Sean's personal guard, so this is not considered.
After removing the fourth fleet, there are only two fleets left. Even if Akainu is an admiral, he has not yet been given the command of that fleet.
most...
That is to say, soldiers temporarily command a certain fleet according to task assignments.
Looking at Jonathan, Akainu showed a hint of relief, but also a hint of envy.
At this moment, Robin, who was Sean's adjutant on the stage, was still continuing.
"Third, the six fortress bases under construction on the original Whitebeard territory are named G-2 to G7 branches respectively. These six branches will include Lucci, Hawkeye, Akainu, Momo Rabbit, Fujitora, and The six generals of the Green Bull are stationed in separate posts, and each branch has a permanent force of 10,000 troops."
"Fourth, in the original Whitebeard territory, it is also the center of the six fortresses. After the construction is completed, Salo Island will become the logistics center of the six fortresses. It will also be the commander of the second and third fleets. The commander is Kaku Lieutenant General, with a permanent strength of 10,000 troops."
"fifth..."
Robin was about to continue, but Sean had already placed his right hand in front of her.
"I will tell you this last thing personally!"
"Everyone, today I will break an unspoken rule that has lasted for hundreds of years!"
"Most of the people here have served in the Navy, so who can answer the questions about the rank promotion rules of the Navy for hundreds of years?"
This question surprised many people.
But it didn't take long before Akainu spoke first.
"Double standards of military merit and strength!"
"The first is military merit. The navy of our headquarters has clear regulations on military merit for each level of military rank. After reaching the standard, a strength test will be conducted.
Core, if the strength also reaches the minimum standard of the military rank, the military rank will be successfully promoted. "
"And among them, there will also be some special preferential treatment, such as Lieutenant General Zhuge of the main navy, or Lieutenant General Jonathan who has recently joined us. In terms of strength alone, they are actually reluctant to become major generals, but with their strength With strong command and intelligence, one can jump one to two ranks, but this is the limit."
After Akainu finished speaking, Sean also nodded.
"Yes, what Senior Sakaski said is correct. Although there are some extra preferential treatment, in general, strength is still the priority."
"If we go by it in the past, this is understandable. After all, this world is based on its own strength, but now..."
"As our various technologies become more and more advanced, light and heavy weapons, battleships, and fighter planes gradually appear. Even ordinary people can still form a very powerful combat effectiveness after using these things."
"Then the previous rules are somewhat inappropriate."
"After all, although your personal strength is strong, it does not mean that you can command a fleet. After all, only professionals can use these weapons to their maximum effect."
"Therefore, from today on, I will break this rule. As long as you have expertise in command, even if you are just a weakling with a power value of 5, you can still get a promotion in military rank, and even become a fleet commander."
"Do you know why I didn't arrange a commander for the Second and Third Fleets?"
"I also know that almost all of you want to be the commander of an armored fleet. There is no problem with that, but you need to prove to me that you have the ability to command a modern fleet!"
"In the future, a new assessment will be added within the New World Navy, called the fleet command assessment, and each of you will be graded on your command ability."
"If you want a fleet, you can, but at least you must get an A-level rating or above in the assessment."
"In addition, regarding how to command the fleet, or new arms such as the air force in the future, the headquarters will also set up an officer training school. Those who have ideas can sign up."
"That's all I have to say today. Who has any questions?"
...
...
Below, all the lieutenant generals and generals were a little uncomfortable with it. .
After all, the concept of respecting the strong has long been an inherent concept of everyone in this world.
But according to Sean, the strong may even be commanded by the weak in the future.
If you don’t want this to happen, that’s okay.
Work hard to learn, learn new knowledge, and adapt to the new system.
In the future, it will not only be a measure of one's own strength, but also a comprehensive strength that will be mixed with more things.
Although they can understand that what Sean said makes sense, they want to fully accept this new concept...
It still takes some time.
