From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

Because recently, Diarmid has not studied this matter, so he has a better understanding of the current situation of various bases on the sea.

After thinking about it a little, I thought about the current situation of the G-7.

G-7, in the case of the first and late stages of the Great Route, near the South Windless Belt, is not too far from Impelton, one of the three bastions of justice.

The number of troops is not abundant, that is, more than 10,000 naval soldiers, the area of responsibility is possible, and three allied countries within the direct jurisdiction are seeking G-7 asylum.

The entire G-7 base is not large, and the island is quite large, but because the funds are not in place during the construction, most of the islands have not been developed, and the construction area of the G-7 can accommodate more than 10,000 people.

“Why do you recommend the G-7?” After thinking about it, Diarmid asked.

“G-7 and G-8 one south and one north, each shrouded in the north and south of the great route, if I want to go to G-8 as the base commander, of course, I hope that the opposite G-7 also has a powerful lieutenant general sitting in the town, so what is difficult, it is convenient to ask you Lord Diarmud for support.” Lieutenant General Jonathan said with a smile.

“Others don’t know, I don’t know yet? Lieutenant General Jonathan you are in the main department, the strength is also in the front row, don’t look at me so arrogant now, I dare not say that I can win you, or Lord Dilmud, don’t tease me…” Diarmed gave Lieutenant General Jonathan a blank look.

In the headquarters of the Navy, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are many people with unknown reputations, in fact, they are very powerful.

For example, Lieutenant General Jonathan, he and the Warring States General, Lieutenant General Karp, Zefa Sensei, Ah Tsuru Grand Staff Officer and others are all veterans of the same period.

In terms of strength, it may be inferior to a few of them, but it is definitely not too far behind.

That is, this guy is very low-key, and does not have so much competitive heart, so he is as if he is ordinary.

If it really provokes him and he launches a rush, it will also be very terrifying.

“Hahahaha…,” Lieutenant General Jonathan laughed.

After a slight pause, he continued: “But the G-7 is a good stage, isn’t it? I see you kid needs it…”

Dillmud nodded at this point, and Lieutenant General Jonathan was right.

The facilities of the G-7 are not very complete, the military power is not very strong, and the construction area is average.

But that’s the value!

If this G-7 soldier is strong, with 50,000 or 60,000 strong troops under his command, and full of firepower, the entire island has been built into a strong fortress, and the surrounding sea area is calm, suppressing all disobedience…

So what did he want him to do in the past?

Can’t do anything!

It’s just grinding foreign workers, mixed seniority.

There is absolutely no place to use his talents.

On the contrary, the G-7, a base that has room for appreciation, but has not yet transformed its potential into strength, can be regarded as a treasure in the eyes of Diarmud, if he can pass, drive the G-7, and develop the wind and fire, he can prove to the rest of the top naval officials that he can not only fight, but also engage in construction, and lead the navy to strength.

In this way, everyone can recognize him as a general of the Navy in the future!

In fact, the news that Diarmud is going to be released as the base commander is first-class in the high-level, and many keen bigwigs have realized that the above intends to train Diarmud to take the road of general.

Lieutenant General Jonathan, for example, understood this meaning, otherwise he would not have said that the G-7 was suitable for the stage of Diarmud.

“Makes sense, I’ll think about it.” Diarmid nodded with a smile.

After a slight pause, Diarmid asked in a low voice: “Lieutenant General Jonathan, you are also a person who served as a base commander in G-3, you have experience, mention a little about me, a junior, what means do you need to be a base commander?” ”

“If you follow the steps, there is nothing to say, the headquarters will issue military expenses to the base every year, just pay according to the head, and some maintenance costs or something, but in 1497, the bases were restructured, and the autonomy was further amplified, basically, the commanders of the major bases have absolute power in the base, and it is over every two years to deal with the inspector assessment of the headquarters…” Lieutenant General Jonathan said slowly.

In 1497, three years ago, when Diarmid was still a major general in the headquarters and devoted himself to cultivation, he did not pay much attention to this kind of thing.

But some time ago, he also understood these things that he was about to come into contact with.

Before 1497, the major bases of the Navy were still relatively controlled by the headquarters of the Navy and Mallinford, but after 1497, in order for the major bases to better exert their subjective initiative, do not move any problems to the head of the headquarters, and after some determination and judgment of the top management of the headquarters, the autonomy of the major bases was further delegated.

It was also from that year that the power of the major naval bases expanded unprecedentedly, and it could almost be called a ‘warlord’.

Small and small matters no longer need to be given by the ministry, and you can almost make full decisions.

Within the direct jurisdiction of each base, it can be called the emperor of the soil, the commander of the base with strong skills, and even the economic, political, and military grasp.

Therefore, the base commander with strong ability will develop the base under his command very well, and the weak ability will naturally weaken the base.

Therefore, it has caused the current situation of different strengths and weaknesses in major bases.

As for this issue of decentralization, will it split the navy and cause a fault line between the headquarters and the major bases or something…

Anyway, this problem has not occurred at the moment.

First of all, although the headquarters has delegated power, it still has the highest command power in name, and if you send someone to arrange the task, unless you want to openly rebel, you must accept the arrangement.

And if you openly rebel, then with the absolute strength of the headquarters, it will definitely kill you in minutes.

Second, although economically, the headquarters has also delegated power, secretly acquiescing to the commotion of the commanders of the major bases to make money to develop the bases, but to be honest, if everyone is so powerful in this regard, they will not have to make a living here in the navy, and it is not good to go to the world government to become a senior official of the Ministry of Commerce?

Or can’t you do business yourself?

Therefore, this kind of secretly engaging in money and economy, to put it bluntly, is to provide a certain range of power and money transactions, such as guarding caravans in the surrounding seas, collecting some protection fees or something, which is great and out of line… Just secretly accept the tasks entrusted by some countries, charge higher employment fees or something.

If he engages in some corruption, most of the money will fall into his pocket and will not be used to develop the base.

Therefore, the operation of the base mainly depends on the military expenses issued by the headquarters every year.

And this military expenditure is like the shackles that the world government puts on the head of the Navy, and it is also the shackles that the headquarters puts on the heads of each base.

You have no money, what are you doing independently?

You have no money, you can’t feed the tens of thousands of navies under the bottom, eat and drink Lasa, then you can’t rely on the relief of the headquarters? Do you dare to disobey this?

This is the second, as for tacitly allowing the major bases to secretly engage in money development, Diarmud feels that this is also a means used by the headquarters to fight the world government.

If this base develops well, maybe it can still give the headquarters a financial transfusion.

Coming and going, I don’t know how much military spending can be saved every year, the headquarters side covers up a little, it will all remain in the hands, in the long run, a large amount of funds are pressed in the hands, which are used to be hard at a critical moment… This is one of the means of confronting world governments.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the Navy will not work against the world government, anyway, Diarmed has not seen it once in Malingford in his years.

However, he knows very well that there will definitely be later, and this confrontation is estimated to become more and more serious, and the cause may be the plan of His Majesty the World Government’s Seven Wuhai, right?

This plan to establish legal pirates, you don’t need to think about it, even if the navy is forced to approve it later, they definitely have a very strong sense of resistance.

This is normal, if there is no resistance, then it can still be called a righteous navy?

This may be the cause of the deepening contradiction between the navy and the world government, and the era of sea thieves is the catalyst, on the one hand, the world government needs the navy to stabilize the situation, so it has to increase the investment in military spending and other aspects of the navy.

Let the navy continue to grow in this era of sea thieves, on the other hand, the navy that is worried about the growth is even more obedient to the announcement and confronts itself.

So they made a mess and constantly suppressed the power of the navy.

In this kind of advance and retreat, it is very entangled and constantly frictions with the navy, resulting in a group of navies that have really grown up from the era of sea thieves, and they do not have a good impression of the world government.

For example, Sakaski, who was played by the five old stars in the Doflamingo incident, angrily rebuked the five old stars.

As a result, the five old stars also said on the spot that you guy has no face at all.

You say that Sakaski is not angry?

It must be angry!

After that, the navy secretly promoted the abolition of His Majesty’s plan of Qiwuhai, with Fuji Tiger laughing at this newly promoted general, sharp knife, hard at the world conference, swollen the face of the world government, forcibly overturned the policy of His Majesty Qiwuhai, look at how excited the generals of the navy were when they went to capture those His Majesty’s Seven Wuhai!

Another example is Borusalino, although he does not do it with you openly, but he is to release water with you, the Straw Hat Pirates hammered three Draco in the Chambordi Islands, and as a result, Borusalino used to have a set of bells and whistles, and the hair was useless, not only the Straw Hat Pirates did not catch one, but those so-called supernovae also did not catch one, and in the end they casually engaged in some miscellaneous fish to cope with the errand.

Is it that Borusalino can’t catch it?

No, with his strength, if he really got serious at that time, none of them would want to run, they would all have to die.

But he just plays, alas, just doesn’t catch.

After coping with the result, there is nothing wrong, it is time to go back to be a general, continue to be a general, as for the three Draco, sorry… Our navy is too busy preparing for war and has no time to pay attention to you.

This is also a manifestation of the Navy’s wrestling with the world government.

Anyway, judging from the comparison of future conditions, Diarmid can clearly feel the drastic changes in the navy.

The navy at this stage is still very good for the world government, and for several years, Diarmud has not seen the navy rebel against the world government.

You can imagine the relationship now.

Therefore, in Diarmud’s view, the era of sea pirates is also pros and cons for the navy.

This chaotic and turbulent era will bring a powerful impact on the world order, and this impact will also become a force that intensifies the growth of the navy.

The shackles that the world government puts on the navy will be weakened to the extreme in this era.

Under the internal and external troubles of the world government, if the navy can seize the opportunity, it may be able to truly change and truly become the representative of justice.

Of course, these are all speculations in Diarmud’s mind, and they have not yet become reality.

He just had to wait and look for opportunities to see if he could facilitate this.

To get back to the point, the third way for the headquarters to control the major bases is the rotation system of base commanders, although there are no strict standards, and some base commanders may have been working for ten years and eight years.

But as long as the headquarters orders here, you have to obediently leave and work elsewhere.

This is the most powerful means of control, so don’t look at the major bases since 1497, the power has expanded unprecedentedly, but in front of the headquarters, it is still a younger brother, so far, there has not been a single branch against the headquarters.
