"In the process of carrying out the review task, I found that Colonel Darren's personal style is extremely serious, enough to affect the image of the Navy and even cause political disputes!"
There was anger in Gion's voice.
"oh?"
Sengoku's doubtful voice came from Den Den Mushi:
"What's the problem? In my impression, Darren is a very capable guy..."
"Very capable..."
I don't know if it was because of Darren's words "caring for the people", but Gion always felt something was wrong when he heard this.
She opened her mouth, her face gradually turned red, and she stammered:
"He…he…he…"
This matter was so shameful that she couldn't even speak of it.
Kake, who was standing next to him, snatched the Den Den Mushi away and said angrily:
"He actually slept with the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis!!"
Warring States: ...
The other side of Den Den Mushi.
Marine Headquarters, Marinford, Admiral's Office.
Sengoku looked at the indignant Kake on the Den Den Mushi and angrily shouted:
"General Zhan Guo, I strongly suggest that Darren, that bastard, be dismissed and investigated!!"
"That's the wife of the Kingdom's Governor!! She's still charming and very beautiful!!"
Zhan Guo was very upset after hearing this.
No, if he needs to be dismissed and investigated, then we can discuss this matter.
Why do you keep mentioning Lady Margery's appearance?
"Well, that's what it is."
Sengoku muttered.
After hearing the reply from the Sengoku general, Gion and Kake were both stunned.
What the hell is "hmm"?
That's it! ?
"General Sengoku...your attitude..."
Gion was somewhat dissatisfied.
Zhan Guo scratched his head and said:
"Gion, there are some things you don't understand. Darren does have a lot of problems. This old man and your sister He are very clear about this."
"This problem you mentioned...is actually not the first time."
"Your sister He's side, the Navy's administrative and review departments, have received a mountain of complaints and reports about Darren."
"As far as I know, there are probably hundreds of similar cases, if not a thousand."
Hearing these words, Kaji was stunned and trembling all over.
Not a thousand, but at least a few hundred! ?
That is to say... Darren, that bastard, actually "cared" for hundreds of the best noble ladies and young ladies like Margery?
"Military-Civilian Cooperation" has been carried out hundreds of times! ?
What a beast! !
He took a few long puffs on his cigarette.
Gion was even more incredulous:
"Then why was he promoted to the governor of Beihai? If he continues to mess around like this, the entire Beihai will be in chaos."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo secretly sighed that Gion was still too young and immature. It seemed that it was indeed necessary to let her go to Beihai to gain some experience this time.
"Gion, do you have a fax machine nearby?"
Gion took a quick look and found a fax machine in a corner of the office.
"some."
"I'll send you a document. Please destroy it after you read it."
Soon, accompanied by the "da da da" sound of the fax machine, a military document appeared in front of Gion and Kake.
"This is the performance report Darren submitted to the headquarters when he applied for promotion to the position of 'North Sea Admiral'. It contains his experience as the base chief of the 321st branch in the past two years."
Gion and Kake looked at each other, then opened the performance report and flipped through it quickly.
But the more they looked, the wider their eyes became, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
"Do you understand now?"
There was something intriguing about Zhan Guo's voice.
"The North Sea is in chaos. It is the most chaotic sea area among the four seas."
"This sea area has a deep-rooted mafia history, and the crime rate remains high. Many smuggling and black market trade routes that run through the Grand Line have important bases and stations here."
"There have been constant wars among the countries in the North Sea. The "evil army" led by Germa 66 is always trying to dominate the North Sea and restore the glory of the Germa Kingdom."
"But please take a closer look at this performance report..."
"During Darren's tenure, the crime rate and number of pirates in the entire North Sea were well controlled, the mafia lived in peace, the kingdom wars came to an end... The living standards of the people in each kingdom have improved significantly."
"This is the most stable era in the history of the Chaotic North Sea."
Gion was stunned and subconsciously argued:
"But General Sengoku... the geniuses of our headquarters, Major General Borsalino and Major General Sakaski... didn't they also serve in the North Sea?"
"Could it be that Darren's governance level is better than theirs?"
She was a little bit unbelieving.
Borsalino and Sakaski are the "monsters" of the headquarters and have been recognized as "future admirals of the navy."
Hearing Gion's words, the corners of Sengoku's mouth twitched, his expression became more depressed, and he sighed:
"Gion...you still don't know those two guys well enough."
"During Borsalino's tenure at the North Sea, he basically wouldn't do anything unless the headquarters gave him a direct order. The pirates were getting more and more rampant, and the headquarters couldn't stand it anymore, so they finally decided to transfer him away."
"What about Major General Sakaski?" Gion was stunned at first, then asked again in disbelief.
Zhan Guo sighed again:
"Sakaski...why do you think he was transferred away from Beihai?"
"That guy ignored the political sensitivity between the kingdoms and the safety of the civilians, and suppressed all the pirates with iron-blooded means, causing extremely serious damage to many towns and countries..."
"In the end, all the countries in the North Sea were "unable to bear the harm" and more than 10 member states expressed dissatisfaction with him and put pressure on the headquarters. The headquarters had no choice but to transfer him out of the North Sea."
Gion: ...
Kake: ...
Zhan Guo pinched his forehead and said with a headache:
"In short, due to the special situation in the North Sea, only Darren can strike a good balance."
"Unlike the two of you who grew up comfortably in Marinford, Darren is a real North Sea man. He climbed up from a lowly private soldier to his current position step by step. He must have his merits."
"He has outstanding military exploits and outstanding strength. He is swift and decisive but also tactful. In Beihai, he is able to mix well with both the black and white worlds."
"And you know what?"
"Regarding his application for promotion to North Sea Admiral this time, both Sakaski and Borsalino expressed their support."
"Darren has gained the recognition of those two guys... This is enough to prove his ability and means."
At this point, Zhan Guoyu became more serious, like an elder giving advice to a younger generation.
"You two, especially Gion, grew up in the headquarters, and your understanding of justice and the navy is still limited to a very shallow level."
"In fact, this time, Xiao He and I asked you to go to the North Sea with the intention of allowing you to gain more knowledge and study hard."
"Darren is a very cunning and smart guy. You can learn much more by following him than staying in the headquarters."
Please read on, thank you for everything, thank you so much.
Chapter 5: Well, let's have some discussion
Den Den Mushi communication was interrupted.
In the huge base commander's office, only the young Gion and Kake were left staring at each other, speechless for a long time.
Having grown up in the headquarters, being loved by everyone and accepting the most orthodox concepts of justice, they could never imagine that a corrupt and decadent navy like Darren could receive such high praise from their respected Warring States Admiral.
What they could not believe was that Sakaski and Borsalino, two talented and arrogant "monsters", actually agreed with Darren's strength and means.
You have to know that the two people's personality traits, ways of doing things, and personal concepts have extremely obvious and even conflicting differences. It can be said that they are worlds apart.
"This... How is this possible..."
Gion sat there with a dazed look in his eyes, muttering to himself.
What happened after she came to Beihai brought an extremely huge shock to her "pure and young" heart.
Snap...
At this moment, the sound of a lighter lighting up interrupted her thoughts.
"Kake what are you doing!? You're smoking his cigar!?"
Gion turned his head and saw Kake next to him lighting a cigar with a lighter, and he became furious.
Kake shuddered, and seeing Gion's frosty face, he said in a trembling voice:
"Um... didn't General Zhan Guo ask us to learn from Darren?"
Gion: ...
"General Sengoku asked you to learn from him. Does he want you to learn his bad habits of smoking, drinking and picking up girls?!"
Gion said angrily, his teeth itching with anger.
Kaji quickly put away his cigar, but muttered quietly:
"I think these are all good... smoking, drinking, and picking up girls can also make you a good navy..."
"What did you say!?"
"I, I say Gion, you are right."
"…"
"No, I can't accept it." Gion stood up suddenly, and a determined light rose again in his autumn-water eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly.
"Justice must be pure and cannot harbor filth!"
"I must stay and reform this bastard Darren! Help him turn over a new leaf!"
"We must not allow his 'degenerate' and 'rebellious' justice to have a bad impact on the North Sea Navy!"
Kake sat nearby and looked at Gion who was full of fighting spirit, and couldn't help but cover his face in silence.
But in his heart he wanted to marry Feifei.
Civilian-military cooperation...caring for the people...
"Hehehe…"
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but he couldn't help but laugh obscenely.
