My code name is Green Bull

"Head of the G7 branch base?"

When Jon heard Sengoku's words, he was obviously startled for a moment.

The G7 branch is one of the five branch bases in the New World, but compared to the other four branches, its reputation is much worse.

It is no exaggeration to say that out of the ten lieutenant generals in the headquarters, nine are not willing to be the head of the G7 branch base, because it is too evil in the eyes of many people.

First, the entire base was almost destroyed by the Golden Lion. The original branch's navy soldiers were completely empty out of ten. Later, although a lieutenant general and a large number of troops were sent out, they still did not recover. Instead, they were always harassed by pirates from the New World. Continuously decaying.

Coupled with the fact that it was hit hard again by Barrett not long ago, the strength of the G7 branch base has been weakened to the extreme.

Even at the high-level meeting of the Navy not long ago, some people suggested canceling the G7 branch directly. The reason is that the existence of the G7 branch has no deterrent effect on pirates in the new world. It is the kind of representative that is useless and would be a pity to abandon.

Not every lieutenant general has lofty ideals and is willing to start from scratch and rebuild the G7 branch.

The situation of the G7 branch caused many lieutenant generals to be unwilling to take up posts. They were pushed back and forth, and finally a lieutenant general with a low reputation was sent to go.

But now Warring States actually wants him to go to the G7 branch. It seems that the temporary base commander's performance is very poor, so Warring States decided to let him take the lead.

Jon, who is familiar with the future, knows that in twenty years' time, only G1 and G5 will be left in the New World's naval branches, and the other three major branches will no longer exist. Obviously, in less than twenty years, the three major branch bases will , disappear one by one.

If a branch base is eventually cancelled, then as the base commander, you will definitely have a lot of responsibility. This is one of the reasons why most lieutenant generals are unwilling to serve as G7 branch base commanders.

"General of the Warring States Period, I am willing to accept this position."

For others, the head of the G7 branch base is a trouble, but for Jon, this is not a trouble, but a challenge.

"Okay, very good, I really saw you right."

The Warring States Period was overjoyed. The G7 branch base director was indeed a problem now. The strong lieutenant generals either had other important positions or were unwilling to go. If they were forced to go, it would probably not be effective. The weak ones would be in vain if they went.

Jon has the strength and ability. The most important thing is that he is willing. This is the best choice.

"It's just, Warring States General, I have a few requests."

Although Jon is willing to take over this mess, it doesn't mean that he wants to get over it simply. The conditions that should be raised must still be raised.

Warring States: "If you have any requests, feel free to ask for them. As long as they are not excessive, I will try my best to satisfy them."

Jon said: "I hope to select some elite soldiers from the headquarters and bring them to the G7 branch."

"Of course that's no problem."

This is natural. Even if Jon doesn't say anything, the Warring States Period will not let Commander Jon pass. Now the G7 branch is in a mess. If we can't add elite soldiers, even if Jon passes, it will be difficult to achieve anything.

"What else do you want?"

Jon: "There is one more, I hope the Warring States General will allow it."

"explain."

"Food, Warring States General, you also know that I have the ability to make food. Can you please allow me to make food and exchange the food that the G7 branch should have distributed for military expenses?"

Warring States frowned and did not answer immediately. This was no small matter.

Jon has the ability to make food, which is very important to the Navy Headquarters. However, the Warring States Period also warned Jon not to make food easily to avoid causing chaos.

If he agreed to Jon and asked Jon to make food, the consequences would be different. Military spending does not matter, what matters is whether Jon will use his ability to seek personal gain with his power.

"I want to ask the marshal for instructions on this matter. Please wait for my reply."

"good."

Jon knew that Seng Guo would not agree easily. He just wanted to give it a try. If it didn't work, he could put forward other conditions, and then Seng Guo would not be able to refuse him anymore.

"You go back to the headquarters first. After the transfer order is officially issued, you go to the G7 branch base."

"However, the situation in the new world is not stable. You have to pay attention, especially to several large pirate groups, such as the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates. They have begun to recruit a large number of manpower, and their strength has expanded extremely quickly. , a serious threat to our power in the new world. Compared with a few years ago, if you want to re-strengthen the G7 branch, you must be mentally prepared."

Although Sengoku is very optimistic about Jon, the pirates in the New World are not foolproof, especially those large pirate groups. If they attack the navy branch like the Golden Lion did, except for the G1 branch, the other branches All dangerous.

"I see."

Jon actually knows better than Sengoku how dangerous the new world will be in the future. The era of the Four Emperors is already approaching. Before that, the new world will only become more and more chaotic.

The new world at this time is many times more dangerous than the first half of the Grand Line.

The two talked for a while, and Jon stood up to say goodbye. Warring States had told him that he would leave to return to his headquarters in two days.

"The Warring States General came to you and what did he say?"

Pemberton squeezed into the chair and asked Jon.

"It's nothing. I just gave him a commendation and decided to stay for two more days. However, he also found a job for me."

"An errand? What did the Warring States General tell you to do?"

"Head of the G7 branch base."

"What?"

Pemberton suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "General Warring States asked you to serve as the base director of the G7 branch?"

"Um."

"You agreed?"

"Um."

"You're crazy."

Pemberton shouted loudly, with an anxious look on his face: "You actually agreed to be the base director of the G7 branch. You should know very well that the G7 branch is a mess now, a mess that no one is willing to take over, but you actually agreed. I think you are serious. Crazy."

"so what?"

"So what?"

Pemberton felt even more angry when he saw Jon's indifferent expression.

"Do you know how much risk you take when you go to the G7 branch? If you do well, that's what the base director should do, but if you don't do well, you will have to bear full responsibility, and no one else is willing to go. As long as you are willing, do you really think the new world is so easy? It is not as good as the first half. Once we go there, we will face the most ferocious pirates."

Jon said calmly: "The purpose of joining the navy is to catch pirates. Is it because pirates are so powerful that we won't go?"

"Don't talk to me about this. You know that's not what I mean. I mean that the G7 branch is too weak. If it is transferred to G1 or G5, or even G3 and G9, it will be no problem at all. But G7 is really too weak." Weak."

Pemberton is certainly not afraid of the pirates in the New World. The G7 branch is actually too weak. Compared with the strength of several other branches, not only are there fewer major generals, but the quality is far inferior.

In the eyes of many people, the G7 branch is now a listed branch and will be banned soon. Now G7 is a fire pit. If Jon wants to jump into it, it is strange that he is not in a hurry.

"The Warring States General has promised me that as long as I go, I can select elite soldiers from my headquarters to go."

"put……"

Pemberton was about to curse when he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped, lowering his voice a lot.

"Let you choose the elite? One hundred, two hundred, three hundred or one thousand? It's useless. Unless you are willing to let you go with ten thousand elite soldiers, bringing hundreds or even thousands of people will not have any effect at all. .”

Jon's expression remained unchanged. Of course he knew what Pemberton meant. The branch in the New World was different from other naval branches.

Because to deal with the powerful pirates in the new world, each branch must have at least 10,000 troops, and even tens of thousands, just like the G1 branch, which has tens of thousands of troops.

The strength of the navy in the five branches of the New World alone exceeds 100,000. This does not include the reserve troops. If added together, it may be doubled.

Ten or two hundred thousand troops may seem like a lot, but when looking at the entire New World, it is nothing at all. The New World has a large population, and the number of pirates is even more staggering. It is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of thousands, or even more.

But today's G7 branch base is short of troops, and most of them are new recruits with little combat experience.

Relying on these people to deal with the powerful pirates in the new world, it is strange that they can withstand it. This is why the G7 branch base is getting worse and worse.

Even the Navy Headquarters has to consider many factors. Due to various reasons, they cannot provide sufficient military expenditures for the G7 branch. Without sufficient military expenditures, it is even more difficult for the G7 branch to develop.

With no money for development and no strong military strength, the G7 branch has become weaker and weaker, to the point where it is now being discussed whether to cancel it.

In the eyes of many people, instead of forcing the G7 branch to remain, it would be better to cancel it and allocate the troops and military expenses to the remaining branches in the New World. In this case, it would be more cost-effective.

"Not having enough troops is indeed a big problem, but thinking about it on the other hand, this is not necessarily a bad thing for us. If we don't have anyone, we can cultivate it ourselves, and we can cultivate the G7 branch into a force that is loyal to me."

For Jon, the G7 branch is like a blank piece of paper now and is the easiest to control. As long as he can survive the crisis, the G7 branch can definitely become his base camp in the future.

For example, the base commander of the G7 branch is like a feudal official, with a lot of room for development. Although it is dangerous, it is much more meaningful than him staying at the headquarters and being an idle lieutenant general who always obeys orders.

Pemberton said: "What you said makes sense, but the premise is that we can develop the G7 branch. If it is still tepid as before, it makes no sense at all."

He did not agree to go to the G7 branch, because once Jon agreed and officially took over as the base director, he might not be able to return to the base in the short term and would have to stay in the G7 branch.

"It all depends on our own level. I'm still a little confident in this aspect. Don't be too pessimistic and look forward."

Jon had this confidence, otherwise he would not have agreed to Warring States on the spot. If the G7 branch wants to develop, the first thing it needs is money, and what he is most in need of right now is banknotes.

I have a question to ask, does anyone know how big the population of One Piece is? According to Lao Xue's estimate, there should be 300-400 million, right? Because the population size will play a big role in future writing, Lao Xue doesn’t dare to write randomly and asks for everyone’s opinions!
