Six Paths of Pirates

Chapter 125 Marshal Sakalski
"By the way." After listening to Hanks' report and making a corresponding explanation, Nagato suddenly remembered something again, "Since you're back, you have to go and implement something."

Hanks responded, "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Now that the Nine Islands are in trouble, it is a good thing to take back the islands, but the disappearance of the agreement has also created new problems." Nagato said.

"Your Majesty means..."

Nagato explained: "At present, Dressrosa's overall strength is still the weakest. More importantly, our positions are completely different from those of the pirates, so although the overall situation seems to have returned to the four-point structure of Edward's period. , but if you are not careful, you may fall into the predicament of being besieged from three sides."

Beckman, who was reluctant to evacuate on Snake Island, mentioned this issue a few days ago. Nagato didn’t react at that time, as if he didn’t take it seriously. In fact, he knew that what Beckman said was true, and even more so. It was planned early.

Nagato said: "Now Dressrosa is developing rapidly, but after all, it cannot be achieved overnight, so to avoid a crisis, I need someone to involve the energy of the three parties for me."

Nagato continued: "My request is that you and your department spend two days discussing a proposal and submitting it to the World Government, requesting the Navy to increase its troops in the New World, including the amount of military support and the increase of the Navy. Manpower, you do your calculations and considerations."

"Is there a proposal for increasing troops?" Hanks moved his eyes down, staring at the desk in front of Nagato, obviously thinking about it quickly in his heart, "If you want to meet your majesty's request, you can attract beasts, red hair and aunt If they pay attention, then they need at least the support of the lieutenant general level."

After a while, he raised his head and replied: "I understand, the proposed direction is a pirate crime crackdown against the New World, do you think it's okay?"

"Your idea is to abandon the method of normal army increase and exchange short-term independent military activities for higher-level troops?" Nagato thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's a feasible idea, let's do it like this."

"Yes."

After discussing the content of the proposal, Nagato reminded again: "Before submitting the proposal, you should contact General Sakaski. I have already obtained his support in advance for this matter."

Hearing this, Hanks was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "In this case, the military expenditure provided can be reduced. Speaking of which, Admiral Akainu should be the most powerful candidate for the next Marshal, as long as his side If they can help, the Navy can send manpower, there should be no problem with the passage of the proposal.”

Speaking of Akainu, Hanks couldn't help saying a few more words: "Speaking of which, the former Marshal Sengoku has been out of office for almost a week, and the successor has not yet been decided, and now this has become the most discussed topic in the outside world. .”

"The capital of the seven waters is also discussing this matter?"

Hanks nodded and said with a smile: "In the past, people talked about it everywhere in bars and on the street, especially the tabloids. The content on them was so-called unique news."

After finishing speaking, Hanks asked curiously, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter?"

Hearing Hanks' question, Nagatoko turned his gaze, was silent for a while and then replied: "If nothing else happens, it should be Sakaski."

Then, Nagato explained: "Sengoku has been out of office for so long, and Kuzan has not been able to take office, which has already explained the problem. Among the two candidates, the World Government prefers Sakasky, and the support of Kuzan within the armed forces is stronger. , but the appointment cannot be decided by the army itself. The resignation of the Warring States was actually a coercion and pressure, but there was no news after a few days, which shows that the world government would rather leave the marshal empty than agree to Kuzan's succession. Come on, the result is already obvious."

"Is that so?" Hanks sighed in surprise, "Although I thought that Admiral Akainu was more likely, I never thought that the vacancy of the position of Marshal would send this message..."

As if to confirm Nagato's words, a report about this matter came through the phone bug.

blu blu blu...

After the phone bug on the desktop made a sound, Nagato answered the call, and heard a female voice from the opposite side: "Your Majesty, this is Kalifa. We have already learned about the appointment of the Admiral of the Navy through the insiders of the World Government."

The phone bug came so coincidentally that Hanks approached him unexpectedly and curiously.

"What's the situation?" Nagato asked the phone bug.

"The world government has drawn up an order for the former General Akazuma to take over as Marshal, and it is expected to be officially announced tomorrow."

Sure enough.

In fact, this result is not surprising. As Hanks said, the matter of the marshal has been the hottest topic in the world recently, and most of them, like Hanks, hold the view that Akainu will take over.

The support of the world government is not the main factor. After all, the vast majority of ordinary people cannot understand the attitude of the world government. It is the change caused by Nagato that really makes people think that the ownership of the marshal is mostly on the head of the red dog.

That is the encirclement and suppression of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates by him and the Red Dog.

After the Battle of the Top, Akainu went deep into the new world to pursue the fleeing pirates. If it was the original trajectory, he could almost be said to have returned without success. The bandits were almost wiped out, and the remaining ten captains, including Marco, were still at Nagato's prior request.

Compared with such a huge military achievement, Aokiji's actions in the four seas are undoubtedly eclipsed.Even if none of the sailors who fought with Akainu returned, this can only be an excuse for Aokiji's support in the army. The world government will not care, and people will ignore it-in fact, the world government is simply Will not report this.

In this way, the difference in performance between Akakenu and Aokiji in the marshal competition has become the reason why people have a tendency. This is also why the world government was able to withstand the pressure of the military to vacate the position of marshal, and now it is a decree to designate Akaken as the position The reason why the result of the duel between the Marshal and not Akainu Aokiji was the result.

Naturally, the change caused by Nagato also had its chain reaction.

Just listening to the phone call, Kalifa continued: "Because Akainu will take over the post of Marshal, there will be a vacant seat in the navy's three general settings. For this reason, the world government and the navy are preparing to inspect the candidates for the general in the near future. One person was promoted to be the new general."

Without the duel for ten days and ten nights, Aokiji would have no direct reason to leave the navy.If Aokiji leaves when the world government appoints a marshal, it means that he is extremely dissatisfied with the government. He is indeed defeated in the comparison of military exploits. He is not qualified to do so, nor can he afford the consequences of doing so.

The key to everything is that he did lose in the upright competition.

As a result of Aokiji's stay in office, only one of the three generals is missing. Naturally, the world government and the navy have no incentive to engage in international conscription, and directly push newcomers with no experience to the position of general.

"Well, is there any news?" Comparing the news of Nagato's Kalifa who learned the latest information with the fuzzy memory in his mind, he knew that the direction of the future had changed again, but he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, This is not the first time he has intervened to change, after all, this is his original purpose.

"There is indeed another one, but it has not been fully confirmed." Kalifa replied, "It is said that the first thing Akainu plans to do after taking over as the marshal is to relocate the Navy headquarters, and transfer the headquarters from Marin Vandor to the new world. .”

The information that Khalifa gave at the end was most closely related to Dressrosa, causing Nagato and Hanks to exchange glances at the same time.

"So, Your Majesty, is the proposal going to continue?" Hanks asked.

It's no wonder that Hanks raised this question. To use the power of the navy to draw the energy of the Three Emperors, is there any more powerful move than relocating the headquarters to the new world?
However, Nagato's answer was beyond his expectation again: "Of course continue."

Nagato said: "Our proposal can be an argument for Sakalski's relocation of the headquarters, and it can also be his achievements after the relocation. Similarly, for us, the simultaneous increase of the navy and the relocation of the headquarters can better transfer Dressrosa. pressure, it’s a win-win move.”

"I understand." Hanks suddenly said, "I will fully communicate with Admiral Akainu according to your wishes... No, Admiral Akainu."
