One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 505
Faced with the unanimous objections of the left Prime Minister Tam and the right Prime Minister Kazak, Mellon was well prepared.

The frontline battle against the Beast Pirates can be said to be the biggest event in the White Dragon Kingdom today.

Both the military and the government in the White Dragon Kingdom are working together to deal with it together.

But the civil servants, that is, the politicians, that is, the left minister Tam and the right minister Kazak, in the face of unnecessary military operations, it is absolutely impossible to allow the army to mess around.

To put it bluntly, this is for the country and the people. Don’t increase military expenditures indiscriminately and increase domestic pressure. To put it mildly, the civil servants don’t want the army to become bigger and stronger through meaningless wars and squeeze their living space.

So today, as long as Matsurize doesn't force the increase of troops, and Mellon doesn't say one, two, three, four, five, he won't be able to pass the test of Tam and Kazak.

"Left minister, right minister, don't worry, listen to me."

Mellon did not panic because of Tam and Kazak's opposition, but continued to explain the reasons for the increase in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, the reinforcement I'm talking about is the reinforcement of the front-line navy, not the army."

"What's the difference?"

"Now we are on the front line with the Hundred Beasts Pirates, [-] navy and [-] army are enough.

This is enough, and it is only enough for Jinhe Island, the defense on this island.

If the enemy bypasses Kinwajima, target the rear.

Your Majesty, my lords, you must know that the front line of Jinhe Island, Admiral Huabao's [-] army, and all the military supplies are still supplied from the main island of Songbai Island.

This must be guarded against!
What's more, our enemy, the Hundred Beasts Pirates, is one of the New World Pirates.

Mr. Prime Minister on the Left, Mr. Prime Minister on the Right, you all understand! "

"Why don't all the beasts know, Chief of Staff Mellon, what do you mean, that we are ignorant?"

"Haha, I didn't mean that, I just want to remind the two adults that the reason why I propose to increase troops and reinforce the navy to the front line is because of our enemy, the Hundred Beasts Pirates.

The two adults know all kinds of beasts well, so they should know what the old profession of all kinds of beasts is.

No matter what Xinhe Country or Four Emperors, after all, they are just a group of pirates.

Fighting at sea is their old profession. Our current force on Jinhe Island, only the [-] navy of the Leopard Fleet, is not enough to deal with all kinds of beasts. "

I don't know if Mellon's words moved Tam and Kazak, because there is no need to impress them now, and Matsurize spoke.

"How many reinforcements are needed?"

Generally speaking, Matsurizawa would not get involved in disputes among his ministers.

But once he gets involved and expresses his preference for one side, then the overall situation is settled, and no one can say anything more about this matter.

"Your Majesty, our country now has three major fleets, with a total of [-] elite navies. Admiral Huabao's Huabao Fleet is already on the front line of Jinhe Island. Right now, we only need to send a naval fleet to the seven islands behind Jinhe Island." Just station on Jie Island and take care of the situation on Jinhe Island.”

"Why don't you go directly to Jinhe Island? What's the use of going to Qijie Island?"

It's not easy for Matsurize to be inclined to Mellon, and Mellon has to explain it further.

"Your Majesty, [-] troops are enough for Jinhe Island. Just for defense, aside from the long supply line needed to get rid of Jinwa Island, as long as there is no force majeure, [-] troops are enough. .

The new naval support fleet sent to the front line and sent to Qijie Island, if they join the defense of Jinwa Island, not only will not have much positive impact on the overall situation, but it may even become a drag.

Their greatest usefulness lies in two points. One is to protect the long sea supply line behind Jinhe Island, which is the most important point.

The second is that they can be pulled to the sea at any time, and support Jinhe Island from the sea to support the defense of Jinhe Island. "

"There are good reasons, Mellon, since you have such a suggestion, tell me, the Black Flood Fleet is still the Fujitora Fleet."

Matsurizawa accepted Mellon's suggestion, and directly handed over the decision to ask the fleet to support the front line to Mellon.

However, how could Mellon dare to do all such important military affairs by him alone?

"I don't know, His Majesty can make a decision."

"Then the Black Flood Flood Fleet!"

Matsurize asked the Black Flood Fleet to go to the front line of Jinhe Island to support and station on Qijie Island. This was also a decision made after fully thinking about Huabao.

As the titled general of the White Dragon Kingdom, Huabao has very shallow qualifications in the entire White Dragon Kingdom defense force system.

But now, no matter which fleet goes to the front line to support, the titled admiral leading the team will go there together.

The current situation, the original decision, and the dominant position of the Leopards on the front line of Jinhe Island cannot be changed.

But no matter whether it is Heijiao or Fujitora, it will have an impact on Huabao's dominance in the frontline military.

Relatively speaking, Fujitora Yixiao, who is No. 1 in the military of the White Dragon Kingdom and the second strongest in the White Dragon Kingdom, is not suitable to go up and lie down for the leopard.

But Hei Jiao is different. Hei Jiao is old, he has great-grandsons, and he has experienced several embarrassing defeats before.

If it weren't for his status as a foreign relative and the current White Dragon Kingdom, there would be no more suitable candidate for the title of general, he would have stepped down from the position of titled general a long time ago.

Heijiao Spencer, who was almost 70 years old, went to the front line, and it was impossible for him to compete with the young and vigorous Huabao for fame and status.

Moreover, as a relative of the White Dragon Kingdom, he has enough tolerance to support Huabao's management of the entire army.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Fujitora doesn't have such a big heart, but in his position, he is willing to do this, and the group of arrogant soldiers under him will not allow him to do so.

Five days of work passed.

Wano Country, Oni Island, where Jhin's frontline base camp is located.

Jhin held a freshly baked map and looked at it very carefully.

This map is for the past ten days, since they discovered the Kinwa Island that suddenly appeared on the side of the Wano country, and since Jhin personally led the army to deal with the Kinwa Island incident, they started to map the Kinwa Island and other regions. The results of the survey above.

Looking at Jinhe Island on the map, and one, two, three, and even more islands spreading to the White Dragon Kingdom, Jhin's face became more and more serious.

"That's all, after so many days, just hand in this little thing?"

Facing Jhin's questioning, the beast investigators said aggrievedly.

"My lord, it's not that I can't wait with all my heart, but that in the past few days, a new maritime military force has appeared in the White Dragon Kingdom, and the investigation work can no longer continue."
