At the door of the cabin, the Sengoku Admiral patted Enichi Tsukuni on the shoulder and said that he would wait for the arrangements for the meeting. When it was mentioned that Enichi Tsukuni could be promoted to brigadier general, Garp couldn't stop smiling. .
The 14-year-old Commodore of the Navy Headquarters, such a promotion speed is unprecedented in the Navy. At this time, Kuzan, who is standing with Ji Guoyuan, is already a young Navy man who has risen rapidly.
He has strength and merits. He studied under Zefa, served as an adjutant under Garp, and is now a subordinate of the Warring States General.
Thanks to the accumulation of relationships, it was already two years ago when Kuzan was promoted to brigadier general. He is also around twenty years old.
But now Jiguo Enichi is even a minor. He is about to be promoted to commodore at such an age. There is no second one in the entire navy.
Garp was happy precisely because Jiguo Yuanyi was a young man he had discovered, no, a young talent. The better Jiguoyuanyi's development, the more it can prove his Karp's teaching quality and his vision for discovering talents.
At middle age, Garp has been considered "successful" in his career. Although his position is currently Vice Admiral, and there are two ranks above him, General and Marshal, his reputation in the Navy is unmatched. , not even Marshal Cyborg Kong can compare with him.
What else does Karp pursue in his career? In addition to maintaining peace on the sea in front of him, Garp does not want to make any further progress in his position.
For him, a middle-aged man with a "successful career," cultivating a young navy who can carry his will is more important than anything else.
Originally, he had placed this "expectation" on Long.
But when the child grows up, it’s not up to the father!
As Long experienced more and more "darkness" in the navy, he and the navy gradually became farther and farther apart.
Nizi couldn't carry Garp's will, so he put this expectation on Jiguo Enichi.
Although it is said that Jiguo Yuanyi and he are not related to each other, but when a man entrusts his dream, why does he need to be related to him?
Jiguo Enichi's talent gave Garp hope to change the navy!
Although strictly speaking, Jiguo Enichi is Zefa's disciple, but so what? Is there any difference between Zefa's disciples and his disciples? No!
"Brigadier General~"
"It's really amazing, Yuanyi. In this way, you are actually on the same level as me?"
"I already disobeyed orders, but now it's bad. I'm an adjutant..."
Kuzan said with an envious tone. Kuzan didn't say the last sentence, he just muttered it in his heart.
Seeing the envy on Kuzan's face, Warring States and Garp also had bright smiles on their faces. Garp walked to Kuzan's side and slapped Kuzan's back with his big palm. smiled and said:
"Kuzan, don't envy Yuanyi."
"You've been promoted just like him!"
"Repelled the golden lion, cut off the golden lion's arm, and also obtained the famous sword Muku. This is the result of the joint efforts of the two of you!"
"How could these guys in our navy ignore your achievements?"
"You are going to be promoted to major general, Kuzan."
After hearing what Garp said, Kuzan also smiled and scratched his head, without showing any surprise. He has been a brigadier general for some time and has accumulated some achievements. However, most of the pirates he cleaned up were "small" pirates with less than 200 million.
With the achievement of defeating the Golden Lion this time, it was certain that he would be promoted to Major General.
Kuzan originally fantasized about being able to become a lieutenant general, but it seems that he thought too much.
But even so, Kuzan was very satisfied. At least, he still had the support of Ji Guoyuan.
As a brigadier general, he still has to look at his major general's face, although Ji Guoyuan has always looked at his face...
"You're quite lucky, Yuanyi. It looks like you still have to be my adjutant."
When Kuzan heard this, he winked at Ji Guoyuan. In front of Sengoku and Garp, Kuzan did not pretend to be serious and showed the character that a young man should have.
When Ji Guoyuan saw this, he smiled and shook his head. He did not refute Kuzan's words, but said with emotion: "Being your adjutant is actually quite hard for me."
"Asshole, Yuanyi, you worked so hard!"
Kuzan hugged Jiguo Yuanyi's shoulders and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Zhanguo and Garp also looked at each other and smiled when they saw Kuzan and Yuanyi bickering and fighting.
Looking at the two people in front of them, Garp and Sengoku couldn't help but think of what they looked like when they were young. At that time, the two of them, together with Hehe and Zefa, were the four people with the closest relationship. The relationship between these people is as good as that between Jiguo Yuanyi and Kuzan today.
As more and more generals gathered on the deck, Sengoku, Garp and others did not stay on the deck for long. They took Enichi Jiguo and Kuzan into the ship's cabin and went to the conference room. among.
The configuration of this warship is not as simple as Kuzan's car. On this ship, not to mention a conference room, there is even a gym for sailors to exercise.
There are seven or eight rows of chairs in the conference room, which can easily accommodate nearly two hundred people for a meeting at the same time.
After entering the conference room, Garp went to the first row, Sengoku walked directly to the podium, and Kuzan and Jiguo Yuan or two found a seat in the back row and sat down.
After all the generals who arrived at Shuixianxing Island were assembled, Warring States held the microphone, cleared his throat, and announced:
"Before the official start of the mountain meeting against the Roger Pirates!"
"We first have to conduct a special investiture ceremony."
"Everyone knows that not long ago, a major event that attracted worldwide attention happened on this sea!"
"The great pirate, the Golden Lion Shiji, was repulsed by the then Brigadier Kuzan and the then Colonel Jiguoyuan!"
"Moreover, he also successfully cut off one of the opponent's arms. In these years, this is the first time our navy has successfully threatened such a big pirate!"
"Brigadier General Kuzan and Colonel Jiguo Enichi have made amazing contributions!"
"Therefore, after consideration by myself, Navy Marshal Cyborg Kong, and others, we have decided to grant Kuzan the rank of Major General."
"Awarded to Jiguo Yuanyi, the rank of brigadier general."
"Now, we invite our heroes to come on stage."
Sengoku's words were transmitted through the microphone and telephone bug. The naval officers who heard the news looked sideways and looked at Kuzan and Tsukuni Yuen who stood up and walked towards the podium.
For a moment, there was thunderous applause, and some generals who were familiar with each other looked at Jiguo Yuanyi and Kuzan and whispered to each other:
"Jiguo Enichi, is that person Jiguo Enichi? It's the first time I've seen him, he's so young!"
"Brigadier General Kuzan, is he the natural ability user who ate the frozen fruit? He's really powerful. He was able to repel the golden lion."
"It's really difficult for generals in our headquarters to be promoted. Such achievements actually only allowed these two people to be promoted to a higher rank."
Under the watchful eyes of many naval officers from all over the world, Sengoku changed the shoulder tassels for Kuzan and Tsukuni Enichi. The pure yellow shoulder tassels of Tsukuni Enichi were also replaced by the general-level shoulder tassels with red background and gold whiskers.
Amidst the applause, this simple investiture ceremony came to an end, as Jiguo Enichi and Kuzan walked off the podium and returned to their seats.
The meeting also officially got down to business.
"Now, let's start the combat meeting."
"Aiming at the Roger Pirates!"
"Major General Kuzan and Brigadier General Tsukuni Enichi, who were the first to arrive at Suizen Island, successfully captured the crew of the Roger Pirates!"
Sengoku said, using the projector phone bug to project the photos of Shanks and Bucky directly on the white wall.
And his words immediately caused an uproar in the conference room.
"Based on this situation, I plan to change the combat strategy."
"I named this plan the Fortress Plan!"
