My code name is Green Bull

Lucien left with Pemberton's uncle contentedly.

After they left for a while, Jon and Pemberton also left the place just as quickly and took Pemberton back to their residence.

"Jon, do you really want to give me money? That's five billion Baileys. With that much money, you can buy dozens of Devil Fruits and train tens of thousands of troops."

After ensuring safety, Pemberton couldn't help but ask Jon.

He has grown so old that he has never seen how many five billion Baileys are. Just hearing this number has already shocked his heart. He really can't bear to give it away like this.

"It's not your money, why are you looking like this?"

"What's not my money? I'm protecting your property."

"Okay, I don't care about money, the key is to get things done."

Jon doesn't care about money because he has the ability to make money.

"But I can't completely believe Lucien's words."

Pemberton was stunned and asked: "What do you mean by this? Is that Lucian lying to us?"

Jon's lips curled up: "Don't underestimate these people. Lieutenant General Shalhoub is an old fox, and Lucian is not bad either. Having said so much, he just didn't want to take the risk of getting rid of Shalhoub, so he wanted to He pushed the matter onto me so that I could fall into his hands."

Pemberton was shocked: "How is this possible? My uncle said..."

He couldn't speak anymore and shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, my uncle will not harm us."

"Of course your uncle will not harm us, and Lucian is not harming us either, but he wants to take advantage of me and gain a certain say in his future cooperation with me. To be precise, he wants to improve himself. status."

"People have selfish motives. Our business will be huge in the future. He is greedy and naturally wants to make more and have more say."

Although Lucian pretended to be helpless and forced into a desperate situation, how could Jon not see it, but he didn't point it out because their purpose was the same.

Lucien was sure that if their business was exposed, he would suffer the most. He was determined that he would not let this happen, so he deliberately said so many things in front of him and was so miserable.

"This guy is really gloomy. It seems that even my uncle has been plotted by him. Jon, now that you have guessed his thoughts, what are you going to do next?"

Pemberton cursed and was very unhappy. He was a loyal supporter of Jon. Now Lucien actually plotted against Jon, and even his uncle was plotting against him. Naturally, he was very dissatisfied.

"Of course he will do it according to the plan. As long as I become a lieutenant general and have real power, and the grain production business is led by me, then he will not dare to mess around and can only listen to me."

"He wants Shalhoub to die so much because he doesn't want to be controlled, because once Shalhoub dies, he is the most likely person to become the Minister of Logistics; but it is also a good thing for me, he Now that I have reached the position, coupled with the long line in the logistics department, and with their support, my status and real power will rise straight up."

After listening to Jon's words, Pemberton immediately smiled and said: "I understand, he wants to plot against you, and you also want to use him. Everyone uses each other, and no one dares to mess around. On the contrary, it is conducive to the stability of the team, but If it continues like this, it’s not an option.”

"So it's up to you."

"rely on me?"

Pemberton was stunned: "What are you relying on me for?"

"It depends on you to rise. As long as I go up, I will have the opportunity to help you. It will be a matter of time for you to rise to the top. Lucian is not of the same mind as us. It is best for you to take his position in the future." Jon said .

"You have arranged everything for me." Pemberton looked at Jon in astonishment.

Jon smiled and said: "You got the Rere Fruit, do you still want to fool around? Of course, these are things for the future, now we have to do the current things well."

"I see you're not in a hurry at all. Are you that confident?" Pemberton didn't quite understand Jon's confidence.

“Although it’s a matter of human nature, let’s call it confidence.”

"Jon, I can't tell. You are very experienced in calculating people and controlling people's hearts now. I remember you were not like this before."

"Everyone can grow. I didn't show it before because there was no need. Now we have to face a bunch of old foxes. If I don't have a longer memory, won't I be tricked to death?"

After these years, Jon has also understood that if you want to do well in the navy, it is not enough to have strong strength. Conspiracies and calculations are also needed. If you don't scheme against others, you must also prevent being schemed by others.

And he didn't know if it was because of the stronger Haki he saw and heard. He felt that his mind became clearer and his reactions became more sensitive. Maybe this was one of the reasons.

"Right."

Pemberton smiled. In fact, he was also very thoughtful, but he had rarely experienced this in the navy in recent years.

"In order not to disappoint you, it seems I will have to work harder in the future."

"Similar to Porusalino, your ability can actually play a certain role in promoting me."

Pemberton ate the Hot Fruit. Many plants can grow better under suitable temperatures, and the Hot Fruit can create flames. If Jon creates a large number of plants, he will burn them. The power is also extraordinary.

Two days later, Lucian brought good news. His immediate boss, Lieutenant General Shalhoub, agreed to his conditions.

Ten billion berri, five billion berri will be paid first, and the remaining five billion berri will be paid three months later.

With this guarantee, Jon felt relieved and asked Lucien to deliver five billion Baileys to Shalhoub.

The rumors at the Navy Headquarters continued until a month later, Navy Marshal Kong summoned some generals.

In addition to Marshal Kong, General Sengoku and Zefa, there were several people standing in the Navy Marshal's office.

There were seven people in total, and except for Jon, who was a brigadier general, the other six were all major generals.

The oldest one is Lucian. He only got the chance to be promoted because the former logistics minister retired. This is not an exceptional promotion.

The remaining five people, like Jon, are all elites of the younger generation of the Navy.

Kuzan, Dauberman, Flying Squirrel, Stoloberg, Fire Mountain!

"This time, seven lieutenant generals have been promoted in our headquarters at once. This is something that has rarely happened in decades. I have been under heavy pressure to promote you, but I believe that you will not let me down."

Sora looked at the seven people in front of him. Except for Lucian, the oldest of the others was in his early thirties. Promoting so many young lieutenant generals at once would definitely cause a lot of commotion in the Navy headquarters after word spread.

As a naval marshal, Sora's courage is by no means ordinary. At least in Jon's opinion, marshal Sora is more courageous than the future marshal Sengoku, and he is more direct and domineering when facing pirates.

"Looking at you guys, I seem to see the future of our navy. You will become the mainstay of the navy and dedicate your strength to the justice of our navy."

Next, Sora gathered the generals and soldiers of the headquarters, announced the news on the square of the headquarters base, and made the seven Jon people appear in front of everyone's attention, which was regarded as a grand introduction to them.

From this moment on, Jon and others became the envy of countless people in the Navy Headquarters.
