My code name is Green Bull.

Chapter 266 Another year, coming back to the headquarters
A few days later, Pepperton made another trip, and when he returned, he returned with a boatload of timber.

The wood of the precious tree Adam is different from other woods. Jon can tell at a glance that these woods are indeed cut down recently, and their activity is much higher than that of any wood of the precious tree Adam he has seen before.

After getting the wood, Jon began to use ability analysis.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

It has been nearly six years since Jon was transferred from the Navy headquarters to the New World G7 branch base.

During these six years, the G7 branch has been transformed from a branch base that may be banned at any time to an existence second only to the G1 branch base.

Especially because of the existence of Jon, the plant lieutenant general, the G7 branch base is in the new world, which makes many pirates frightened.

In this year, the New World was relatively calm. Except for the fierce competition for the fourth Pirate King, the others were much more stable than a few years ago.

On the other hand, there is another member of the Shichibukai under the king, the young great swordsman who is gradually becoming famous in the sea, Joracle Mihawk.

Qiao Lakel Mihawk has challenged swordsmen from all over the world since a few years ago, without any defeat. At a young age, he has already achieved the great swordsman realm that all swordsmen dream of.

Relying on his own swordsmanship and one of the world's strongest black swordsmen, Mihawk is not a pirate, but he has also become a frightening existence.

However, although Mihawk's name is not small now, there is still a certain distance from the world's number one swordsman in the future.

The world government took a fancy to Mihawk's strength and invited him to join the Shichibukai. Mihawk readily agreed to become the second member of the Shichibukai for his own convenience.

In addition, the quadrennial world conference will be held in two months.

All parts of the world have started to liven up again, especially those allied countries, which have begun to send heavenly gold to the world government Marie Gioia.

But if you want to say what makes Jon most upset among these things, it is undoubtedly Kaido's escape.

That's right, Jon has warned several times, but the result still hasn't changed. Kaido escaped from the place controlled by the navy and returned to the new world of Wano, still doing his position as the Pirate Emperor.

It's just that Kaido hasn't appeared again since he escaped, and has been staying in Wano Country.

And those pirates who had bad intentions during Kaido's disappearance all died down after Kaido's return.

Although Kaido was defeated by the Navy, it does not mean that his reputation has been reduced. He is still the Four Pirates feared by countless pirates. As long as he appears, few pirates dare to jump out provocative.

After the incident, Jon also tried to learn the specific situation from the headquarters, but unfortunately, he didn't know the reason. The specific process of Kaido's escape was not announced, nor was he told.

This kind of thing makes people angry and helpless. Sometimes it is like this. The soldiers on the front line fought desperately and finally caught someone.

As a result, when they got to the rear, they lost people again. So what are the soldiers who died on the front line?

In this regard, Jon really has nothing to do. He is just a vice admiral, and it is not up to him to make decisions about various major affairs of the navy. If he wants to have a greater right to speak, he will wait until he reaches the rank of admiral. .

"Jon, are you looking for me?"

Pepperton pushed open the office door, walked up to Jon and sat down.

Jon nodded and took out a document to him.

Pepperton took a look, and immediately turned into a bitter face: "Jon, do you want to be so ruthless and move so fast?"

The document is about the appointment of the new head of the G7 branch base, and the new head of the base is Pepperton. After Jon leaves, Pepperton will become the new head of the base.

After becoming the new base commander, his military rank will also be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general.

Jon said: "Don't be so sad, it's easier to stay here than to go back to the headquarters, and no one can control you."

"That's what I said, but there is no comfort here like the headquarters."

Pepperton still had a bitter look on his face. He was the boss here, but the problem was that he was under a lot of pressure. He was not as deterrent as Jon. Once Jon left, who knew what this sea area would look like.

If it is transferred to the Navy headquarters, although there are many high-level officials suppressing it, it is fun to relax. It is not a big deal, and you can just stroll around and have fun without taking any responsibility.

"The order has been issued. You will go to the headquarters tomorrow to receive the honor. After you become a lieutenant general, you will come back immediately, because after you come back, I will return to the headquarters for appointment."

"Is it so fast? Didn't it say it will take a few years?"

Pepperton showed surprise on his face. Of course he knew that the Navy Headquarters was about to be replaced, but this process could not be handed over smoothly in one or two years.

Jon said: "I don't know, but I guess it will be soon, in two or three years. According to the information, the commander-in-chief of Marie Gioia will not be in office for long, and Marshal Kong will be transferred by then. As soon as he leaves, General Warring States will take office immediately, and then you should be very clear about what will happen."

The admiral of the navy is the most important position. Although the admiral Kong has begun to give up power to the Warring States these years, if there is no better position, he will definitely not give up easily.

Now Kong is waiting for the commander-in-chief above him to make room for him, and he will leave whenever the position is vacant.

But how long this will last, Jon is not sure, but it is estimated that it will not be long.

"Then you have to work hard. Although your voice is very loud, your competitors are not bad."

Pepperton's face became serious: "Sakaski, Polusalino, and Lieutenant General Kuzan are not easy."

The situation of the competition between the admirals is actually very clear, because among all the vice admirals, those who are both young and powerful, led by the four of Jon, are far less competitive than them.

It's just that there are only three admiral positions, so you still need to choose among the four of them.

As for the choice of four admirals, Jon once asked He about this question, and He's answer was very simple.

Generally speaking, there are only three positions of admirals, which can be less, but not more, because it involves a lot of complicated things.

Because the admiral of the navy has a lot of authority, although the navy is the strongest military organization under the command of the world government, it is not the only one. Their opponents also have other military groups.

The various military institutions check and balance each other. This is the purpose of those in power. If the navy is too strong and has too much power, it will not be a good thing for other military institutions.

Therefore, the navy can have three generals, but if it wants to exceed this number, it may be difficult for even the five old stars to make this decision.

Although Jon doesn't quite understand the relationship between the various groups and agencies of the world government, he actually understands this truth.

No matter where you are, there will be battles. Even if you are in the same camp, there will be many internal contradictions. It is impossible for you to have a situation where one family dominates. Checking and balancing each other is the correct way.

All in all, there are three admirals, and it is impossible to have one more, at least the current navy is like this.

But even if it was competition, Jon wasn't worried at all.

With his current combat power to capture Kaido alive, coupled with the contributions he has made over the years, the captured pirates and so on.

There are also many supporters behind him, and he has a good relationship with many people in the navy.

If this doesn't make him an admiral, then he really has to think about whether he should quit.

"Don't worry, Pepperton, you go and do your work. As long as there are no major accidents, I will be the general."

Pepperton nodded: "It's good that you have confidence. I'll go to the headquarters tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to do?"

Jon: "There is indeed one thing. You go to Lucian and ask him to calm me down recently. If he finds trouble for me again recently and affects me, don't blame me for being rude to him."

"That guy, he is indeed getting more and more restless now, I advise you to solve it as soon as possible."

"When I go back, it will be done. Now you can warn him."

"clear."
