Kuzan, who successfully invited Ji Guoyuan to join the ship as his adjutant, was very happy during the meal. During lunch, he ate much more than before.
For Kuzan, this is really good news. He can even imagine his future sailing life.
There is a powerful adjutant on the ship. If something happens, if he encounters some thieves, there is no need for him, the Commodore, to take action. He can just let the adjutant lead the sailors to take action. As for himself, the most he can do is plunder the formation on the side. , don’t be too relaxed, okay!
When going to sea, he can cross his legs and sunbathe on the deck, and leave other things to his powerful lieutenant!
Thinking of this, after Kuzan finished a bowl of rice, he went to serve another bowl for himself, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Zefa, Garp, Ji Guoyuan and others who were eating together didn't know what this kid was thinking, but seeing Kuzan's appetite, everyone ate happily.
After lunch, Kuzan did not let Yui Yi rest at home at all, and directly took Yui Jiguo to the port. He planned to let the crew get to know Enichi Jiguo as his adjutant, and at the same time, he also wanted Yuiji Jiguo to get to know him. Identify which ship you want to join next.
Kuzan, who was a commodore of the Navy Headquarters, is now a subordinate commodore of the Navy's G-5 branch. The G-5 branch of the Navy is a relatively large branch in the new world. In addition to the direct subordinate General Sengoku, the top leader of the G-5 branch and the base commander of the G-5 branch is a vice-admiral of the Navy.
Under the base commander, there are several lieutenant generals who lead the various units of the G-5 branch. Kuzan belongs to the third division of the G-5 branch and is the captain of the second division.
Generally speaking, division captains are lieutenant generals or major generals, and detachment leaders are usually major generals or brigadiers. As for school officers, among the branches in the New World, they are at best deputies and are not qualified to lead warships on voyages.
If you want to lead a warship on a voyage as a school-level officer, you have to go down to the four seas and serve as a branch leader in the four seas.
For example, Smoker and Vergo in the future are both lieutenant generals who belong to the same G-5 branch, but Vergo is the base commander of the G-5 branch, while Smoker is just the squad leader.
Although the two men have the same military rank, their power and strength are completely different.
Today, Kuzan's military rank is brigadier general, and his position is a detachment leader lower than the future captain of the Smog Squadron.
Kuzan's "car" is just a small warship with a hull of just over fifty meters, and a draft of only two meters, which is only more than ten meters longer than Wang Lufei's Sonny.
The number of Kuzan's subordinates was even pitiful, with a total of less than a hundred.
His brigadier general was only slightly better than the bare commander.
Kuzan is now facing the pain point of sparse subordinates. In fact, if Ji Guoyuan wants to lead his own team to sea in the future, he will also encounter it.
The Navy is actually a place that pays great attention to "qualifications". The vast majority of naval officers are made from junior soldiers at the grassroots level. This also means that when these "soldiers" are promoted to "general officers", He will have many old comrades-in-arms, old subordinates, and generals who come from the grassroots level, and they will never be in the same predicament as Kuzan is now.
Only generals like Kuzan who have been promoted beyond the ranks will face the situation where they can't even get an adjutant.
Kebi and Dasqi, who were promoted to the rank of colonel in the future, did not lead the team to sea alone. This was also the reason.
As for Smoker, who came up from the branch, if he hadn't taken over the mess that no one wanted, he actually wouldn't have many subordinates, because the sailors in Rogge Town would have no use in the new world.
The navy has developed to this point, and it has already become a carrot and a pit. If the people above it don't leave, where will there be so many troops for the new generals to lead?
It's very simple to lead an army. You can organize it yourself. As for the funds, you don't have to worry about them. As long as you can get a team, funds are not a problem.
But in the world of One Piece, how many people would put their heads in their belts for tens of thousands of belikons a month?
It's all a waste of money. Wouldn't it be a huge profit to go to sea and become a pirate?
Therefore, the navies of this era still have some idealism in them.
Under the leadership of Kuzan, Jiguo Yuanyi and him came to a small pier in the north of the military port. At the pier, a green warship was docked at the edge of the port.
This is a new-powered warship transformed from an old sailboat. The entire ship has a wooden structure. The hull is painted with green anti-rust paint, and there is a white G-5 logo on the side.
It's just that there don't seem to be many people repairing and taking care of this ship in normal times. When Yuan Yi took a look at it, he found that a lot of paint on the ship's body had fallen off, exposing the wooden boards that were directly exposed to wind and sun. In some places, the ship's boards were already damaged. It was eroded by sea water and showed obvious decay.
The sails on the ship have been furled, and there is an old-fashioned observation deck on the top of the mast, which does not even have a roof to protect it from wind and rain.
This warship actually gave Yuan a sense of desolation.
"Hey, Kuzan, is this your ship?"
"Such a ship will probably sink with one shelling attack from the pirates, right?"
Ji Guoyuan asked in surprise as he looked at the warship in front of him. It's not that he dislikes the warship being broken, it's just that Kuzan's "car" is so shameless. If the color of the ship wasn't the same as other warships, he would have thought that this ship was someone's abandoned ship.
Moreover, let alone how much power such a warship can have, even if such a warship is powered, will the ship really not fall apart?
"No, no, no, as long as I'm here, it's impossible for the pirates' bombardment to fall on the warship!"
"Let's go, I'll take you on board to take a look."
"This warship has a total of 50 rooms. Excluding the canteen, activity room and other public facilities, there are a total of 38 rooms that can accommodate people."
"Ordinary marines share a room for two people, but you are an adjutant and sometimes you have to deal with some 'secrets', so you have a separate room, and there is also a study room."
"How about it, am I not bad to you?"
"It's not like on Admiral Garp's ship, where two people have to share a room."
Kuzan said with a big smile on his face. When he said, "The pirate cannon cannot shoot down his warship," his tone was somewhat complacent, and he didn't hear that Yuanyi was mocking him at all.
"Well let's take a look."
Yuanyi doesn't have high expectations for his "single room". Fortunately, he doesn't have any requirements for this kind of accommodation. He just hopes that the crew members on the Kuzan ship can be more reliable, so that he can Save a lot of thought.
However, when Yuanyi and Kuzan boarded the ship together, Yuanyi knew that he was wrong.
Kuzan's crew members all have very distinctive looks, and more importantly, Yuanyi can't feel even a little bit of powerful "qi" in them, not even a hint of "fierce". He couldn't even feel his breath, and he didn't look like a soldier at all.
Kuzan's crew is a group of ordinary people who have obviously not experienced much combat.
As soon as Ji Guoyuan got on the ship, he just glanced at the sailors on the deck who were watching and patrolling, and couldn't help but ask:
"Is this your army?"
"Kuzan, are you mistaken? These people"
Before Yuan could finish his words, Kuzan interrupted directly: "Ah! That's right, my crew members are all recruits who are full of aspirations for the navy!"
"In terms of combat effectiveness, although they are still a little bit behind, you can rest assured that they all have the backbone to be a navy!"
After Kuzan finished speaking, he clapped his hands, gathered the sailors on the deck, and said loudly:
"Let me introduce to you, this is Enichi Tsukuni, colonel of the Navy Headquarters."
"He will serve as my deputy, Sa, come and say hello to Colonel Jiguo Enichi!"
As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, the sailors raised their arms and shouted in unison. Although there were not many in number, their morale was still quite strong.
"."
"Hello everyone, please give me your advice in the future."
Ji Guoyuan sighed secretly in his heart and was forced to accept the reality before him. He quickly adjusted his emotions and greeted his companions with a smile.
From today on, he officially became a member of the G-5 branch.
