Chapter 184 Lieutenant General Jon

Satisfied, Lucian left with Pepperton's uncle.

After they left for a while, Jon and Pepperton also left the place quickly, taking Pepperton back to their residence.

"Jon, do you really want to give money? That's 50 billion Baileys. With that much money, even dozens of Devil Fruits can be bought, and it is enough to train tens of thousands of troops."

After confirming the safety, Pepperton couldn't help asking Jon.

He has grown up so much, and he has never seen how many 50 billion Baileys are. Just hearing this number has already shaken his mind, and he is really reluctant to give it away like this.

"It's not your money, why are you looking like this?"

"What's not my money? I'm protecting your property."

"Okay, I don't care about money, the key is to get things done."

Jon doesn't care about money because he has the ability to make money.

"But Lucien's words can't be completely believed."

Pepperton was taken aback, and asked, "What do you mean by that? That Lucian is lying to us?"

The corner of Jon's mouth curled up: "Don't underestimate these people, Lieutenant General Shalheb is an old fox, and Lucien is not bad. Having said so much, he just doesn't want to take the risk of getting rid of Shalheb, so he wants to Push the matter to me, so that I can put a handle on him."

Pepperton was shocked: "How is this possible? My uncle said..."

He couldn't continue talking immediately, and shook his head again and again: "Impossible, it's absolutely impossible, my uncle won't harm us."

"Of course your uncle wouldn't harm us, and Lucien didn't mean to harm us, but he wanted to use me to gain a certain right to speak in future cooperation with me. To be precise, he wanted to improve himself status."

"People have selfishness, and our business will be big in the future. He is greedy, so he naturally wants to earn more and gain more voice."

Although Lucien pretended to be helpless and forced into a desperate situation, how could Jon not see it, but he didn't point it out, because their purpose was the same.

Lucien was sure that if their business was exposed, he would be the one who would suffer the most. He believed that he would not let this happen, so he deliberately said so much in front of him, so miserable.

"This guy is really gloomy. It seems that even my uncle has been tricked by him. Jon, since you have guessed his thoughts, what are you going to do next?"

Pepperton was cursing and was very upset. He was a loyal supporter of Jon, and now that Lucian had plotted against Jon, and even his uncle, he was naturally very dissatisfied.

"Naturally, I will do it according to the plan. As long as I become a lieutenant general and have the real power, and the food production business is dominated by me, then he will not dare to mess around and can only listen to me."

"He wanted Shalheb dead so much because he didn't want to be held accountable, because once Shalheb died, he was the most likely person to be the head of the logistics department; but it is also a good thing for me, he Once I am in the top position, coupled with such a long line in the logistics department, with their support, my status and real power can rise in a straight line."

After listening to Jon's words, Pepperton smiled and said: "I understand, he wants to plot against you, and you also want to use him. Everyone uses each other, and no one dares to mess around. On the contrary, it is beneficial to the stability of the team. If it continues like this, it’s not an option.”

"So it's up to you."

"rely on me?"

Pepperton was stunned: "What do you rely on me for?"

"It depends on you to rise up. As long as I go up, I will have the opportunity to help you. It will be a matter of time before you get up. Lucien is not completely one-hearted with us. It is best for you to take his place in the future." Jon said .

"You have taken my arrangement seriously." Pepperton looked at Jon in astonishment.

Jon smiled and said: "You got the hot fruit, do you still want to fool around? Of course, these are things for the future, and now we have to do the current things well."

"I don't think you are in a hurry at all. Are you so confident?" Pepperton didn't quite understand Jon's confidence.

"Although it is human heart, let's be confident."

"Jon, I can't see that you are very experienced in calculating people and controlling people's hearts. I remember that you were not like this before."

"People can grow up. I didn't show it before because there was no need for it. Now we have to face a group of old foxes. If I don't have a better memory, won't I be tricked to death?"

After these years, Jon also understands that in order to do well in the navy, it is not enough to have strong strength, and conspiracy and calculation are also needed. If you don't calculate others, you must prevent them from being calculated by others.

And I don't know if it's because the domineering color of knowledge has become stronger, he feels that his mind has become clearer and his reaction is more sensitive, maybe this is one of the reasons.

"Right."

Pepperton smiled. In fact, he is also very delicate, but he has rarely experienced this in the navy these years.

"In order not to disappoint you, it seems that I will work harder in the future."

"Just like Polusalino, in fact, your ability can also play a certain role in promoting me."

What Pepperton ate was hot fruit. Many plants can grow better at a suitable temperature, and hot fruit can create flames. If Jon creates a large number of plants, he will burn them. The power is also extraordinary.

Two days later, Lucian brought good news that his immediate boss, Lieutenant General Shalhoub, agreed to his conditions.

For 100 billion Baileys, 50 billion Baileys will be paid first, and the remaining 50 billion Baileys will be paid after three months.

With this guarantee, Jon was relieved and asked Lucien to deliver 50 billion Baileys to Shalhoub.

The rumors of the Navy Headquarters continued until a month later, Admiral Kong Kong summoned some generals.

In the Admiral's office, besides Marshal Sora, Admiral Sengoku and Zefa, there are several people standing.

There are seven people in total, except for Jon who is a brigadier general, the other six are major generals.

The oldest one was Lu Xien. He had the opportunity to be promoted because of the retirement of the former logistics minister, which was not considered an exceptional promotion.

The other five, like Jon, are the elites of the young generation of the navy.

Kuzan, Dauberman, Flying Squirrel, Stolberg, Huoshaoshan!

"This time, seven lieutenant generals have been promoted from the headquarters at one time. This is a rare thing in decades. The old man is also under heavy pressure to promote you, but I believe that you will not let the old man down."

Kong looked at the seven people in front of him. Except for Lucian, the oldest one was only in his early 30s. He promoted so many young lieutenant generals at one time. After the news spread, the commotion in the Navy headquarters would certainly not be small.

As the admiral of the navy, Sora has extraordinary courage. At least in Jon's opinion, the Marshal Sora is more courageous than the future Marshal Warring States, and he is more direct and domineering when facing pirates.

"Looking at the few of you, this old man seems to have seen the future of our navy. You will become the mainstay of the navy and dedicate your strength to the justice of our navy."

Next, Kong gathered the generals and soldiers of the headquarters, announced the news on the square of the base of the headquarters, and let the seven of Jon appear under the eyes of everyone, which was a grand introduction to them.

That is to say, from this moment on, Jon and others have become the envy of countless people in the Navy headquarters.
