A week later, the number of ships docked at the port of Shuixianxing Island began to decrease significantly, and naval warships from all over the world began to return.
The navy did not operate as secretly as they did when they returned to Shuixianxing Island. After all, they needed to avoid the sight of the Roger Pirates as much as possible to prevent the other party from noticing their intention to evade in advance.
When going back, there was no need to cover up at all. With Garp and Sengoku as escorts, the navy's large fleet set off directly from Shuixian Island and sailed toward the navy headquarters in a mighty manner.
The navy was not idle on its way back. The pirates along the way were also "cleaned up" easily. When they came, the water lines of the warships had just reached the standard, but when they returned, the water lines of all the warships had sunk a lot. .
It is conceivable that after the navy returns this time, there will be many guests in Impel Down City.
At the port of Shuixianxing Island, Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan and one or two G-ICE branch leaders stood on the dock and watched the warship leave. After watching the naval fleet disappear from sight, Kuzan stretched himself, smiled and sighed:
"Our positions have finally undergone a huge change!"
"Yuanyi, our naval life starts from today and has entered the development stage!"
The number of generals in the Navy Headquarters is actually quite large, but the number of generals who can command a certain branch is very small. Many major generals and brigadiers in the headquarters do not have the right to lead a voyage alone. Many people have military ranks but no positions.
When I go to sea, most of the time I go to sea with a lieutenant general, or with several major generals, jointly performing tasks. Not only are my movements restricted, but my rights in my hands are not improved in any way.
The vast majority of general officers in the headquarters do not have the right to make personnel appointments. After all, in the Navy headquarters, there are countless lieutenants, and there are even generals and marshals above. When it comes to personnel appointments, who will get a major general or commodore!
Although the military ranks of Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan were not promoted, as they became branch leaders and had the right to form their own naval branches, their power also expanded unprecedentedly.
This also means that as long as the two of them can find funds, they can establish as large a branch as they want and recruit as many navies as they want.
Imagine that a major general who can easily command tens of thousands of people can still be a major general? ! As long as Kuzan and Jiguo Enichi can do that kind of thing, they will be the Li Yunlong of the pirate world.
“The unprecedented expansion of my rights also means that my responsibilities are unprecedentedly expanded.”
"Shuixianxing Island is the deepest island in the New World. The situation we face may be very complicated."
"Kuzan, what are you going to do to form a new branch?"
"Relying on the recruits on your ship who have only been in the navy for a short time?"
"If that's the case, I think we should exit the New World as soon as possible."
Jiguo Yuanyi's imagination for the future of this branch was not as wonderful as Kuzan thought. How can it be so easy to drive a nail into the depths of the new world?
Not to mention how many pirates there are that need to be cleaned up around this sea area, just the crooks in the branch are enough to give people a headache.
Ji Guoyuan is not a holy mother, but he doesn't want those rookies to die needlessly in the new world.
This is not the place where rookies should come!
"How is that possible? We must expand our army!"
"I plan to recruit a thousand people first and get the branch up and running first."
Kuzan said directly without thinking, his eyes full of longing for the future.
When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he looked at Kuzan as if he were a fool.
A thousand people? ! Recruiting a thousand people with your words? Even though they currently have sufficient funds, the navy that can fight in the new world is not a piece of cake. How can it be so easy to recruit?
Besides, this is a new world! But all those who have some strength go to sea and become pirates. They can plunder and sail freely. Who will work and produce stupidly?
Do you really think that all humans are born in the year of the Ox?
"Haha. Just kidding."
Kuzan seemed to realize that he was a bit fanciful and laughed aloud. Then he looked at the sea and thought seriously for a while before solemnly saying:
"Yuanyi, I plan to establish a communication system first."
"Navigation in the New World relies on record pointers and life cards, which are needed for navigation."
"I plan to spend some time surveying the sea area around Shuixian Island, getting familiar with some of the surrounding towns and kingdoms, and establishing a communication system."
"Demarcate the patrol area and let the surrounding sea areas settle down first."
"A stable environment can attract people, and a large population base can become a source of recruitment."
"This is external, but internally, I plan to train the marines currently in the branch."
"They all joined the Navy with a longing for justice. I believe that after their abilities improve, they can become the cornerstone of our branch."
Most of Kuzan's crew members are new recruits who have been in the army for less than a year, or more than a year. Only some non-commissioned officers are transferred from other units, but the number of these non-commissioned officers is very small.
The combat effectiveness of the branches is distributed in a top-heavy manner, and the combat effectiveness of the grassroots navy is very weak.
What Kuzan said now can be considered as truly constructive opinions.
"Well, my thoughts are similar to yours. I am not in a hurry to expand the army or carry out missions."
"Prioritize developing your own strength."
"Kuzan, please advise the headquarters to transfer Cyrus here. If possible, a few of the naval academy officers who graduated last year should come."
"We need some people with leadership skills. We have to train them all on our own. We are too busy."
No matter what era we are in, talents are always in short supply.
Kuzan and Ji Guoyuan are one or two people, but what they are lacking most now is talent!
After hearing Yuanyi's opinion, Kuzan did not hesitate, took out the phone bug and dialed Sengoku's number. Although Kuzan is just a major general, he is different from ordinary major generals. He can directly contact the Warring States generals.
Sengoku, who had just left Shuixianxing Island, received a call from Kuzan. After hearing Kuzan's "request", he did not refuse and immediately gave Cyrus a transfer order.
Not only that, but the Warring States Period also considered Kuzan's difficulties. Not only did he dispatch Cyrus, but he also dispatched Flying Squirrel, Kibin, and Xiuen to Kuzan's branch.
Now, after graduating from the Naval Academy, Flying Squirrel has been a lieutenant colonel for more than a year and has been active in the West Sea.
Kibin is now a lieutenant. Although his rank is not high, his upgrade speed is like a rocket. Like the flying squirrel, he has been active in the Western Sea.
Xiu En is a captain, and his upgrade speed is not slow. He has been active in the South China Sea before.
The three people dispatched are all pretty good.
Flying Squirrel is good at the Sixth Form of the Navy and has sharp swordsmanship. Now he can perform flying slashes and has entered the threshold of a swordsman. With a bounty of around 50 million pirates, Flying Squirrel can lead a team to deal with them, and his combat effectiveness is comparable to that of Alabasta. Sauron during the period.
Kibin's iron block is well trained. Ordinary pirates can't break through his defense. If we simply benchmark the pirates, they are pirates with a bounty of 20 million. He can barely deal with them. Calculated, he can currently compete with them. The future fishman Aaron is 50-50.
Xiu En even had a different encounter. He accidentally ate a Devil Fruit during a mission and gained the power of the Rust Fruit. Combat effectiveness is difficult to evaluate. If the opponent is a swordsman, his advantage will be infinitely magnified. The upper limit at this stage is about the same as that of a flying squirrel.
Kuzan, Jiguo Enichi, Cyrus, Flying Squirrel, Kibin and Xiu En are the cornerstones of the future G-ICE branch.
