At the beginning, I summoned Li Jing, who is very cold, and I will fight against Hawkeye!

"Warring States?" Looking at Warring States who was lost in thought and standing there in a daze, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but raise his voice and called him twice again.

Her voice echoed in the quiet office, carrying a hint of concern and confusion.

At this time, Vice Admiral Tsuru, wearing a neat navy uniform and with short silver hair, looked particularly capable.

Under the slightly wrinkled brows, the pair of eyes that had been baptized by the years but were still sharp stared at the Warring States

It was as if I wanted to read from his expression what he was thinking at the moment.

"Hmm?" Sengoku finally came back to his thoughts and uttered a slightly confused response.

Then, he couldn't help laughing out loud, a hearty laugh with a hint of vicissitudes.

The wrinkles on his weather-beaten face trembled slightly, as if telling stories from the past.

"What are you laughing at?" Lieutenant General He frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in his tone. His eyes were fixed on Zhan Guo, waiting for his answer.

Sengoku looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru's puzzled expression and scratched the back of his head.

In front of this old friend and comrade, he did not act at all pretentious, as if he had instantly turned back into a naughty old man.

There was a hint of warmth and relaxation in his eyes, as if he had temporarily forgotten the heavy pressure outside.

"Nothing! Haha, it's just that suddenly I seemed to be back to the past!" Zhan Guo's voice was full of emotion.

His gaze became somewhat distant, as if he had traveled through the long river of time and returned to those old days.

In his mind, pictures kept emerging: when they were young, they bravely fought against pirates on the sea with dreams and beliefs in their hearts.

Those fierce naval battles, those moments of life and death, those days of fighting for justice.

When Vice Admiral He heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled a few times.

Her smile is like the sunshine in spring, warm and gentle.

At this moment, her originally serious face seemed to become a little younger.

Then, Lieutenant Tsuru continued to sigh: "It wasn't so difficult for us back then, one Roger overwhelmed everyone.

But this also makes things easier for us! At that time, all the pirates wanted to challenge Roger, not just a bunch of ambitious people like now. " There was a hint of nostalgia and helplessness in her voice.

She raised her head slightly, her eyes seemed to look through the ceiling of the office into the distant sky.

In her mind, the figure of the Pirate King Roger, who once shook the entire ocean, gradually emerged.

At that time, Roger was like an insurmountable mountain, attracting countless pirates to challenge him.

The navy’s goal is relatively clear, which is to stop the crazy behavior of these pirates.

"There's nothing I can do!" Zhan Guo recalled his battle with Tom and lowered his eyes slightly.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, including the intensity of battle, the depression of failure, but more of it was a feeling of powerlessness.

"Who let Jenny Tren and her gang make everyone lose hope of winning?

You know, Roger almost lost his entire naval battle because of the Golden Lion!" Zhan Guo's voice was deep and powerful, and the fierce naval battle scenes reappeared in his mind, with warships colliding with each other on the rough sea, artillery fire and smoke everywhere.

There was a brief silence in the office, both of them immersed in memories and thoughts.

After a while, Vice Admiral He broke the silence. "Forget it, let's call a meeting tomorrow!" Her voice was decisive and firm.

She knew that at this critical moment, they needed to brainstorm and discuss countermeasures together.

Her eyes sharpened again, as if she was preparing for the upcoming meeting.

Zhan Guo nodded, "Okay, it's time to discuss this." His eyes also revealed firm determination.

……

In the following days, He and Sengoku, as well as some other naval commanders, continued to discuss plans to deal with the Cross Guild, while also paying attention to the public's reaction.

After some investigation, they found that there had indeed been some changes in the public's attitude towards the navy.

Some people began to doubt the Navy, believing that it was unable to protect their safety.

Others expressed anger at the actions of the Cross Guild and hoped that the Navy would take action as soon as possible to avenge T-Bone.

Lieutenant General He looked at the investigation report in his hand with a frown on his face.

"The public's reaction is more complicated than we thought. We must act quickly to restore the public's trust in the Navy."

Zhan Guo nodded, “We can first issue a statement to show the public the navy’s position and determination.

At the same time, we can also organize some activities to strengthen communication and exchanges with the public."

Crane agreed and said, "Okay, let's do this. However, we must also be prepared to deal with the counterattack of the Cross Guild.

They will not sit back and wait for us to restore our reputation and will certainly take further action.”

Just then, a soldier hurried into the office and reported an urgent message to them.

"Reporting to Vice Admiral Tsuru and Marshal Sengoku, we have just received intelligence that the Cross Guild has taken new actions on the sea."

He and Zhan Guo looked at each other, and a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.

"What action?" Crane asked.

The soldier took a breath and said, "Doflamingo, a former Shichibukai and a member of the Cross Guild, attacked a navy ship and stole a large amount of supplies and weapons.

And... and placed Vice Admiral T-Bone's head on the bow."

Crane's expression turned very ugly, "Doflamingo!!!"

Zhan Guo also looked grim. He stood up with a firm look in his eyes. "Let Sakaski in Mary Geoise give the order first.

Call a meeting of generals immediately to formulate a battle plan."

At the emergency meeting, naval generals expressed their opinions one after another.

Some people advocated launching an immediate attack on the Cross Guild to retaliate; others believed that they should strengthen their defenses first and wait for the opportunity.

Lieutenant General He listened to the generals' discussion and weighed the pros and cons of various plans in his mind.

Finally, she spoke, “We can’t attack blindly, or we might fall into the Cross Guild’s trap.

We need to collect more intelligence first, understand their action plan, and then formulate a targeted combat plan."

Sengoku agreed, “Tsuru is right.

We must not act impulsively but remain calm and rational.

At the same time, we must also strengthen the defense of the naval base to prevent the Cross Guild from attacking again."

After the meeting, the Navy began intensive preparations.

They stepped up intelligence gathering and kept a close eye on the movements of the Cross Guild.

At the same time, the defense of the naval base is being strengthened and the soldiers' vigilance is being increased.

During this process, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Sengoku were also not idle.

They continued to analyze the actions of the Cross Guild, trying to find their weaknesses.

After some effort, they finally found a flaw in the Cross Guild.

"Zhan Guo, I found that although the actions of the Cross Guild are very organized, there seem to be some contradictions within them." He said

"We can use this contradiction to divide their forces."

"Differentiation?" Zhan Guo looked confused.

"Hehe, the Cross Guild is not the Terun Adventure Group! And I know this guy Doflamingo very well." Crane said in a cold tone.
