Chapter 67: Pretending to serve the public good for personal gain
After some exchanges with Johnny Joseph, Ian already had some clues in his mind about how he would go to the Grand Line.
However, before leaving, Ian still had some things to do.
Two days later, on the playground of the Rogue Town Naval Base, more than 300 naval soldiers stood in two rows. When Ian appeared, they all raised their hands and saluted.
Ian walked among these saluting navy soldiers and sighed in his heart. No wonder there are so many people in the world who want to join the navy. This kind of etiquette, rules, and neat uniforms can indeed make people feel majestic. It felt that even if Ian was just a temporary swordsmanship instructor, he was still treated with courtesy by the navy soldiers. In such an atmosphere, he felt that he was full of strength.
After passing through the passage composed of saluting soldiers, Ian came to the high platform of the playground. He turned around and looked at the naval soldiers below. The naval soldiers also stood at attention neatly, and then looked at Ian.
Ian scanned the crowd and spoke slowly: "In two days, my term as a swordsmanship instructor will come to an end. Although it is only a short month, I have gotten to know many of you. I also get along well with everyone, so here, I would like to thank everyone for supporting my work.”
"Instructor, you're welcome!" the navy soldiers shouted in unison, causing a wave of noise on the playground.
Ian pressed his hand down and waited until the scene became quiet before speaking again: "Maybe many people present also know the reason why I serve as a swordsmanship instructor... Yes, it's because I don't have the money to pay for the execution platform. Loss!"
The navy soldiers in the audience couldn't help laughing, and even Dasqi couldn't help but laugh. Ian, the swordsmanship instructor, was abducted by Colonel Smog. The soldiers in the base all knew this, and they couldn't help but see Ian. He admitted without hesitation, and the navy soldiers were more kind to Ian's frankness.
After Ian waited for them to finish laughing, he continued: "Although the agreement with Smoker, an old smoker, is only for one month, I dare to pat my chest and assure you that I will definitely teach you with a serious attitude! No. I don’t want to hide my secrets at all. In fact, the most important thing about swordsmanship is the basic movements. It is these basic movements that I ask you to practice every day. I took a look and now everyone has basically mastered them. So even if I leave, as long as you can persevere. If you keep practicing, you will one day become a master of swordsmanship!"
"Instructor!" A navy soldier raised his hand and asked, "Can I really become a swordsman like you, who can kill Creek with one blow?"
"Yes!" Ian said with certainty: "Although it's hard to say in time, it will definitely be possible! And not only can he kill pirates, he might even be able to be recruited by the Navy Headquarters and become a true navy elite!"
"Yes...really?" The navy soldiers in the audience were so excited by Ian's words that they couldn't contain their excitement.
Smoker was at the window sill of the attic of the base at this time, biting a cigar and watching the scene on the playground. He heard Ian calling him a smoker, but he didn't mind. However, he didn't mind what Ian said to encourage the navy soldiers. , but he frowned a little.
It's not that he thinks Ian said something wrong, but he feels that there seems to be something in Ian's words.
Sure enough, after stimulating the navy soldiers to screams, Ian suddenly spoke again: "Of course, if you want to become an elite soldier of this unit, it is not enough to just immerse yourself in practice. Now, raise your hands and let me see who among you really How many people have gone to sea and captured pirates?”
Less than half of the soldiers present raised their hands, while those who did not lowered their heads in shame.
Although Rogge Town is the largest naval base in the East China Sea, to be honest, most of the naval soldiers here are just maintaining law and order in Rogge Town. The original colonel in charge of Rogge Town was a hedonist and did not care at all. He may take the initiative to lead his soldiers out to sea to suppress pirates.
During the time that Ian stayed at the base, he had already learned this from the soldiers, so he asked this question. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case.
But this was not over yet, Ian continued to ask: "So, those of you who have actually fought against pirates face to face, please raise your hands."
This time, even among the soldiers who raised their hands just now, most of them lowered their hands. Fighting face to face? Are you kidding? Most of them are low-ranking soldiers, not even a lieutenant. Even if these people have captured pirates, they only used cannons from a distance on the ship. Even if they participated in capturing pirates in the square Their actions were just that they took over after Colonel Smoker tied up the pirates with his abilities. Their real combat experience was really pitiful...
Seeing the shameful expressions of all these soldiers, Ian pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth. Very good, these guys really cooperated.
So, he made a sad expression, shook his head and said: "It seems that the situation is much worse than I expected... But it's not your fault, maybe you don't have a chance!"
Hearing that Ian gave them the steps, the navy soldiers were
He raised his head and nodded, yes, it's not that we don't want to catch pirates, it's just that we don't have a chance.
Ian walked around the stage a few times, pretending to think, and then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's settled!"
He looked at the navy soldiers in the audience and said: "As a navy, your duty is to protect the environment and the people, and maintain the majesty of the navy flag. I said that although my teaching time is short, I am absolutely serious and responsible. In this case, So in the remaining two days, I plan to arrange a practical exercise for everyone, not only to test everyone’s learning results in the past month, but also to provide everyone with a real fighting opportunity.”
"Real... actual combat exercise!?" The navy soldiers in the audience were dumbfounded and started talking one after another.
Ian looked at them coldly and said, "What? Not willing? Ha, it's really funny. With your mentality, you still want to become an elite in this department?"
This sentence immediately stimulated the navy soldiers again. They all stood at attention and stared at Ian. The meaning was very obvious. Actual combat exercises are actual combat exercises. Who is afraid of whom?
"Very good!" Ian said with satisfaction: "Now listen to my command and turn back! Run and walk! The target is the port dock. Once you have water and food ready, board the ship!"
The navy soldiers listened to Ian's command and left the playground. Only Dasqi stayed. She came to Ian and shouted at him: "What do you want to do!? You want to take a warship to sea!? No. Colonel Smoker’s orders, you can’t do this!”
"In that case, why don't we just let him agree?" Ian shrugged, then turned around and said, "Are you right? Colonel Smoker!"
Dasqi turned around and saw that Smoker had indeed appeared behind him, so he said anxiously: "Colonel Smoker, stop him quickly!"
However, what he didn't expect was that Smoker ignored Dasqi and asked Ian doubtfully: "I don't object to actual combat exercises. These guys need to practice anyway, but what are your plans? Really? Is it just a practical exercise?"
Ian shrugged and said: "It's just a practical exercise. I plan to take them out to sea to see if they can meet some pirates or something. I believe you don't want to raise a group of old soldiers, right? And I also want to try commanding the navy. The taste of warships, is this enough reason?"
Smoker didn't say anything. He puffed on his cigar vigorously, causing his head to be filled with smoke. After thinking for a long time, he finally poked Ian's chest and said, "I can promise you this actual combat exercise, but you You must promise me that you will bring my soldiers back intact! Can you do it?"
"Don't worry!" Ian said: "If we really encounter a strong enemy, I will take action myself!"
With this guarantee, Smoker couldn't say anything more. He waved his hand and said to Dasqi: "Keep an eye on him!" and then left.
After receiving Smoker's order, Dasqi immediately clenched the sword in his hand and stared at Ian closely, seeming to have begun to carry out Smoker's instructions.
Ian didn't mind at all, turned around and left, and Dasqi hurriedly followed.
When they walked slowly to the port, the navy soldiers had prepared a warship. The warship used by the branch was one size smaller than the warship of the headquarters, but it was enough to carry two to three hundred people. Under the watchful eyes of all the navy soldiers, Ian took Daschi aboard the ship and said to everyone: "This exercise has been approved by Colonel Smoker, so... let's go!"
"Untie the ropes! Set sail! Set sail!"
Following the command of the navy navigator, Ian and his warship slowly sailed away from the port. The people staying at the port naturally saw this scene and looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the navy was going to do.
"Heading direction, southeast!" Ian shouted from the deck.
"Yes! Heading, southeast!" the naval soldier at the helm repeated loudly, and immediately began to turn the steering wheel.
Ian stood on the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze, and felt that it was so good to be the captain. Just shout, and the ship could move forward according to his own wishes.
At this time, the navy soldiers on the ship thought that Ian was just taking them around on the sea, and if they encountered pirates, they would capture them, so they didn't think there was anything wrong, so they all fulfilled their duties faithfully. own responsibilities.
However, if they could look through Ian's pocket at this time, they might find a reward list from the pocket.
When they see this reward list, it is estimated that all the soldiers present will not be able to help crying.
Because the reward list in Ian's pocket is the one with the highest bounty in the East China Sea: Aaron's!
Any talk of actual combat exercises is all fake. This guy Ian is simply acting for his own benefit. He brings the navy out, and it is not as simple as just wandering around. He is going for Aaron...
