The matter of going to sea for internship has been decided. Normally, the places where naval school cadets go to sea for internship are the Great Line or the New World.
The leading officer during the probation period is also a rear admiral or lieutenant general from the Navy Headquarters. Sometimes, even former general Zefa personally leads the team to sea for training.
But among this class of naval cadets, there were two exceptions, namely Jiguo Enichi and Cyrus.
Both of these men had just joined the navy, and their military rank was the lowest, third class.
But both of them have great talents. Cyrus has mastered one of the six naval styles of "shaving" within three months after entering the naval school, relying on his sword skills cultivated in the gladiatorial arena. , both Cyrus and Flying Squirrel can hit 50-50.
Jiguo Enichi's strength is even more terrifying. Even at such a young age, he might be able to defeat some lieutenant generals.
Low level, strong, and great potential, but not much experience at sea. Therefore, the Navy Headquarters chose a safer training method for these two people.
It was September, and the sky was high and broad.
The Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, in the office of Buddha's Warring States Period, welcomed several old friends today.
"Tear."
The door to the office was pushed open, and Garp, wearing a black suit and a "justice" cloak, walked into the office.
Without saying hello to Warring States behind the desk, he entered the general's office as if he had returned to his own home. He sat down on the sofa on the side, poured himself a cup of tea, and then took it out of nowhere. A pack of senbei came out, I opened the seal and started eating on my own.
The chewing sound of "click, click, click" made Seng Guo, who was correcting documents behind the desk, full of black lines.
Stopping writing, Warring States raised his head and looked at Garp who was sitting on the sofa. After staring for a while, he couldn't help but sigh. Just as he was about to ignore Garp and continue working, he heard Garp ask vaguely:
"Hey, Warring States, are the people from the branch here?!"
Hearing Garp's words, Warring States was stunned, and he immediately knew why Garp came to him today. Putting down his pen, he turned to look at the clock on the wall and replied:
"Soon."
Garp smiled when he heard this, leaned his back on the sofa, and said casually: "Okay, then I'll wait here."
As soon as Garp finished speaking, he and Sengoku seemed to notice something and raised their heads and looked at the door. A little while later, a purple-haired middle-aged navy man knocked on the door symbolically, then opened the door and walked into the office.
Seeing the visitor, Garp had a bright smile on his face, and said hello with a smile:
"Hey, Zefa."
"You're here too?! Hahahaha!"
"Would you like senbei?"
After Zefa entered the office, he looked around the office and saw only Warring States and Garp. He frowned slightly, ignored Garp, and asked Warring States: "Aren't the people from the branch here yet?"
When Warring States heard that Zefa asked the same question as Garp, he shook his head and replied: "Soon."
Zefa nodded when he heard this, walked to the edge of the sofa, and sat down next to Garp. He also poured himself a cup of tea, then leaned on the sofa, holding the tea, and waited quietly.
Warring States turned his head and glanced at Zefa and Garp who were sitting on the sofa. He ignored them and continued to review the documents.
For a moment, the only sound of Karp's chewing echoed in the office.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door suddenly outside the office, and at the same time the voice of the Sengoku Adjutant was heard: "General Sengoku, Colonel Kane from the 133rd branch of the West Sea is here. He is at the door."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people in the office all raised their heads and looked at the door.
Warring States behind the desk also stopped writing and said loudly: "Please come in."
Not long after, a middle-aged navy man wearing a cloak of justice slowly walked into the office.
This is a burly man about 40 years old, wearing a slim white suit and a "justice" cloak. He is nearly three meters tall, with a strong build, and his muscles tighten his suit.
The man has a face with a Chinese character, a high nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are full of determination.
At this time, the man's brows were slightly furrowed, showing no signs of anger. His square and handsome face looked even more profound due to the sculpting of the years.
The moment he walked into the office, the eyes of Warring States, Zefa, and Garp all fell on him, looking at the middle-aged man carefully. Unconsciously, I felt some good feelings towards him.
The middle-aged navy man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is calm and serious.
Zefa looked at it for a while and nodded with satisfaction. Garp looked at it for a while, grinning brightly.
"Warring States General!"
"I am Colonel of the 133rd branch of the West Sea, Kane!"
"Come and report!"
The man did not look at Zefa and Garp on the sofa. He walked to Seng Guo's desk without looking away, and then gave a military salute to Seng Guo with a kick.
Upright and serious.
Sengoku sat on the chair without speaking. After staring at Kane for a while, he finally pressed his hand towards Kane and said with a smile: "Relax."
"Haha, Colonel Kane, I've heard of you."
"Pirates have been rampant in the Western Sea in recent years. Even in the New World, there are many big pirates who are from the Western Sea."
"However, the area under the jurisdiction of Branch 133 is quite peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is all due to you!"
"This time I'm calling you back to the headquarters to report on your work. It's mainly for one thing."
"After discussion at the upper-level meeting of the Navy, it was decided to upgrade your rank."
Sengoku stood up slowly, walked to Kane, patted Kane's arm, and said with a smile.
"This is what I should do, thank you to the leaders of this department for their cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Kane still had the serious look on his face. He kicked and saluted again. Facing the promotion, Kane didn't show much excitement. Such an attitude made Sengoku couldn't help but nod slightly.
"Colonel Kane, your abilities are recognized by colleagues in this department."
"However, when a colonel is promoted to brigadier general, there will be a rotation period of half a year, and then you will be transferred to the headquarters and become a brigadier general."
"Kane, after you return from your debrief this time, hand over the affairs at hand, and then you propose a candidate to us who can succeed you. We will fully refer to your opinions and make a discretionary decision whether to send a new colonel or recruit from you. Promoted from branch 133."
Sengoku said with a smile, then walked around behind his desk, found a document from the desk drawer, and handed it to Kane's hand.
This was a red-headed document for promotion. After Kane opened it and glanced at it briefly, he closed it solemnly, and then saluted Sengoku again.
Warring States returned to his seat, pointed at the two people on the sofa, and said to Kane:
"Of the two here, one is Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Garp."
"There is another one, the former Navy Admiral Zefa, who is now the Chief Instructor of the Navy Headquarters. They will witness your report."
"Now, debriefing, let's get started."
After Sengoku briefly introduced Zefa and Garp, he motioned for Kane to start.
"yes!"
"My name is Kane, 41 years old, born in..."
"...."
The Navy's work report is not so formal, like the promotion of a colonel. In fact, Sengoku himself can decide. Garp and Zefa didn't come here just to listen to a colonel's report.
The two of them have other purposes.
After Kane finished his story and left, the three men started chatting.
"Zefa, Garp, how are you? Colonel Kane is not bad!"
"This is what I carefully selected. It should be very helpful for Jiguoyuanyi and Cyrus to study in the 133 branch under him."
"Branch 133 is strong under the leadership of Kane. Although the area under the jurisdiction of the branch is in the West Sea, there are not many pirates and it is peaceful and peaceful."
"A place like this is just right to practice your navigation knowledge."
"If you leave the jurisdiction, the West Sea is also a place where pirates are rampant, and there will be no shortage of actual combat. And with the officers and soldiers of the 133rd branch here, there is no need to worry about safety issues."
When Warring States spoke, Zefa nodded in approval. However, Garp slapped his nose and said casually: "If you ask me, it is very easy to train Yuanyi and Cyrus. They will grow up quickly after following me on a few trips to the sea."
"But since both of you think this would be better, I don't have much opinion."
"gone."
Garp stood up, patted his butt, and left the office directly. Seeing Garp's appearance, Warring States shook his head and felt helpless.
When Zefa saw Garp leaving, he also stood up and said to Warring States: "Please don't worry about it, Warring States."
"What are you talking about? Let's not talk about our relationship. This is just our job."
Compared to Garp, Zefa is too polite!
...
The next day, the warships of Branch 133 were preparing to go to sea, but before going to sea, General Sengoku gave two recruits to Kane who was preparing to return.
Sengoku didn't say much, he just told Kane that the two men were newcomers who had just joined the navy, and were assigned to the 133rd branch of the West Sea, and asked Kane to take them back.
Kane didn't think much about this. After Ji Guoyuanyi and Cyrus boarded the ship, he casually placed the two third-class soldiers, then lowered the anchor and set sail, preparing to set sail.
After the warship slowly left the port, Zefa's figure appeared on the dock. He looked at the leaving warship and remained silent for a long time.
