Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

"Ming Yue has twelve turns, so I will prepare twelve Lieutenant Generals Ming Yue. Their strength must be comparable to the elite Lieutenant Generals of the Navy. Currently, there are only four people who can reach that level of strength, Johnson, Ares, Hibbert, and Rain Shiliu. I will also officially confer them at the founding ceremony tomorrow."

"Thank you, boss."

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up and saluted.

The others also looked envious, but they were not dissatisfied either, because even Shimotsuki Ryuche, who was stronger than them, did not meet the standard.

Barrett chuckled and continued talking.

"Finally, there are Major Generals of the Stars. There are many stars, and I chose the thirty-six stars from among them as generals. Therefore, there are a total of thirty-six Major Generals of the Stars. Their strength is comparable to that of the elite major generals of the navy. To be eligible for selection, one must reach the second stage of dual-color domineering."

"Among the people we have now, Enelu, Simba, Jones, Jinbe, Kate, Kant..."

Those who heard the name clenched their fists and waved them vigorously, appearing extremely excited.

Only Delia and the other girls, as well as Cloe and the other four, did not think of it.

After Barrett finished speaking, Sally stood up and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and asked, "Boss, why don't we have names? We are also proficient in two-color domineering, and our fruit has been developed well. We admit that we are not as strong as Sun and Moon, but why don't we have names in Stars?"

The other girls, except Delia and Achina, all expressed their dissatisfaction.

Hearing this, Barrett smiled and explained, "Seri, since you asked, I will just announce it directly!"

"Sai Li, Tia, Yayoi, Abelo, after the establishment of the empire, I will separate the military and politics, so you will no longer be in the Lingxiao Army. I will arrange for you to handle the empire's political affairs. Abelo and Yayoi will be in charge of the empire's finances and laws, Tia will be in charge of the empire's people's livelihood, and Sai Li will be in charge of intelligence and business. The four of you will all be managed by Delia and others. If you have any questions, please consult Delia and others."

"Also, you can use July's manpower. If you don't have enough, you can go to other kingdoms in the Eastern Region to recruit them on your own."

"Okay, boss."

Upon hearing this, the women all laughed. Compared to fighting, they would rather stay at the back.

Barrett continued, "Okay, now that we've talked about the general system, let's talk about the military system."

Hibbert and others immediately looked at Barrett intently.

"After the establishment of the Lingxiao Empire, our army will be collectively called the Lingxiao Army, divided into the navy and the army, led by Admiral Sun, and Jin will be the commander-in-chief of the two armies."

"The navy is the largest, I estimate it to be 500,000 people, led by five Sun Admirals, divided into four corps, led by five Mingyue Lieutenant Generals. The army is the second largest, estimated to be 200,000 people, divided into two corps, led by two Sun Admirals, and assisted by four Mingyue Lieutenant Generals."

"In addition to the two armies, I will set up a guard army and a special team. The guard army will have a total of 30,000 people, led by two Lieutenant Generals Mingyue."

"The special team consists of only ten people, led by a Sun Admiral, assisted by a Bright Moon Lieutenant General, and the remaining eight are all Star Major Generals."

"We are short of men now, so the navy will tentatively be 150 men, with Ares and Johnson each in charge of 1000 men. Jinbei, Kant, and Lime Jones will join the navy, and Shinto Guards and Black Armor Guards will join as officers below the rank of general. You will assess yourselves and determine your positions."

"It's the boss." The people whose names were called responded in unison.

Barrett didn't pause and continued speaking.

"The army is tentatively scheduled to have 50 men, led by Hibbert, assisted by Kate. Clo and Baru will join the army as brigadier generals. The Divine Court Guard will be drawn to have 500 men, and the Black Armor Army will be drawn to have men. They will be officers below the rank of general, and you will assess and arrange your positions on your own."

"It's the boss—" Hibbert and others said in unison.

"The Royal Guards are tentatively scheduled to be 28 men, with Simba as the temporary commander, Buck and Weipa as brigadier generals, and the remaining 156 Divine Court Guards and Black Armor Guards will all join the Royal Guards as ordinary officers, and you will decide on your own."

"Yes, boss." Simba and the other two stood up quickly.

At this point, Barrett dodged for a moment, hesitated for a moment and then said, "The special team is led by Yu Shiru as captain, Enelu as vice-captain, and Arlong as a member."

"Yes, boss." The three were extremely excited when they heard that.

Barrett smiled bitterly after seeing this. He had no choice but to make such an arrangement. After all, these three people were unreliable. They were okay when fighting alone, but if they led a team, they were not as reliable as Johnson.

Finally, Barrett thought for a moment, his eyes fell on Jinbei, and he smiled, "By the way, Jinbei, inform Tiger and ask him to be with you tomorrow. I will appoint him as the chief instructor of the fishmen, with a status equivalent to that of Admiral Taiyo."

"Thank you, boss."

Jinbei, Arlong, and Kate were in tears and quickly stood up and saluted.

The others were shocked but didn't say much. After so many years of getting along, everyone had long since bridged the racial barriers and fully recognized Tiger's character and personality.

"Boss, now that we have established a country and a system, should we unify our clothing?" Suddenly, Hibbert stood up and spoke.

"Yes, boss, we should unify our uniforms." Ares also reacted and spoke quickly.

"Boss, we can't be like the navy. I don't want to be called a dog." Johnson also raised his voice.

Jin laughed and scolded, "You fool, do you think everyone is as brainless as you?"

Hahaha--

The others laughed when they heard this.

"Idiot, don't talk if you don't know how to talk." Barrett glared at Johnson and continued, "I have already customized the color of the military uniforms. We are named Lingxiao, with the sun, moon and stars as our auxiliary, and we survive under this blue sky and blue sea. Therefore, our military uniforms are blue, and the generals' armor is unified in white and black. The armor of the Sun Admiral is white, and the cloak is red, with a sun pattern on it, corresponding to the day, to show the status of the head of all stars.

The bright moon and the stars are unified into black armor, and the cloak is silver-white with patterns of the bright moon and the stars, corresponding to the night.

Ordinary officers under the generals do not have cloaks, but use three types of shoulder straps: the sun, the moon and the star to represent their positions. One sun represents a major, three suns represent a colonel, and the coexistence of the sun, the moon and the star represents a brigadier general.

By analogy, the moon shoulder strap represents a lieutenant officer.

The stars represent the sergeant-level instructors."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and a look of anticipation appeared on their faces.

"Okay, it's getting late. Everyone else go downstairs and get ready. Long Che stays. When the sun rises, Ling Xiao will be established." Barrett then waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, boss." Everyone responded in unison and walked out of Lingxiao Palace one after another.

Soon, Barrett, Jhin and Long Che were the only ones left in the originally bustling meeting room.

"Long Che, the reason why I didn't arrange anything for you just now is that there are other things I need you to do." Barrett looked at Shuangyue Long Che and smiled slightly.

[My Lord, what do you need me to do?] Shimotsuki Ryuche wrote in confusion.

Barrett suddenly lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "I need you to form a special team called Black Ice Team. Black Ice Team is responsible for assassinations, sneak attacks, and stealing intelligence, just like the ninjas of Wano Country. They are only responsible to me and Jin, and no one else can be informed. However, I will arrange for you to be in the Royal Guards and be responsible for guarding the High Heaven Palace. Do you have the confidence to do it?"

[Master, rest assured, Long Che will definitely live up to his mission and complete the task assigned by the master as soon as possible.] Shimotsuki Long Che immediately stood up, his eyes full of determination and emotion. He was born in Wano Country and naturally knew about ninjas. Generally, those who can be in charge of ninjas are the confidants of the master's confidants.

"Don't worry. I have no other requirements for this team. There is only one condition, and that is loyalty." Barrett patted Shimotsuki Ryuche. He was very confident in Shimotsuki Ryuche, so he let Shimotsuki Ryuche form a team.

[My Lord, I understand. I will definitely control it.] Shimotsuki Ryuche nodded solemnly.

Barrett didn't say anything more, but turned to look at Jin and said, "Brother, give the list and contact information of your group of people, except for that one, to Long Che as the first batch of members of the Black Ice Platform."

"Okay, boss, I'll hand it over to Long Che after the founding of the country is completed." Jin nodded. This group of people were exactly the ones that Barrett asked Jin to gather a few years ago.

"Okay, now that everything has been explained, it's time for us to go down. We mustn't let the guys outside laugh at us." Barrett nodded, smiled and walked out the door.

Jin and Shuangyue Longche followed closely behind and walked out of Lingxiao Palace together.

At this time, the bright moon was gradually setting, and a touch of white appeared in the eastern sky.
