Chapter 175
At the end of February, in Marshal Kong's office, Kong looked relaxed at this time, because the world government finally reluctantly agreed to his application for retirement. Although he has not retired yet, Kong is very happy.
As for the reasons why he has not been able to resign after passing the application, there are two main reasons. The first is that as the Admiral of the Navy, his position is too important, and there are too many things that need to be connected.
The successor also needs to pass the inspection of the World Government. Although the default is the Warring States, Kong also submitted only one candidate, the Warring States, but Kong's agreement does not mean that the World Government immediately agrees.
They need to conduct investigations and background checks on the Warring States, and even if the Warring States has passed the assessment of the World Government, it will take a while to succeed, that is, to connect with Kong's work.
And after the Warring States period became the marshal, Zefa had already resigned from the vacant position of general. Although his rank is still general, he was only the chief instructor of the recruit training camp.
Karp also directly stated that he was not a general. The Mesozoic navy has no available power. Among the new generation navy, although Sakaski, Polusalino, and Kuzan are not candidates for generals, they are more or less meaningless. .
It also needs to be investigated whether they can take on the post of admiral of the navy.
But for Kong, it was all a matter of the Warring States Period. Although the road to retirement was bumpy, he finally did some behaviors that were enough to make him retire with glory.
For example, during his tenure, great pirates such as Rocks, Roger, Skee, and Redfield were all arrested and even executed. Wait for the black spot, but.
Skyler’s feat of getting Whitebeard back 219 nautical miles in the New World was also accomplished during Kong’s tenure. Since the establishment of the Navy for so many years, all previous admirals have failed to gain a firm foothold in the New World. arrive.
Therefore, his retirement has been able to flourish.
As for the second reason why he can't retire immediately, that is because the world government has expressly hinted that it will find another suitable position for Kong, so that Kong will always be under the influence of the world government.
On the one hand, preserving the World Government will have more effective combat power, on the other hand, Kong also understands that the World Government cannot trust him 100%.
As the admiral of the navy, Kong knows too many things, and because he is the admiral of the navy, even after retiring, the world government can't do anything to him.
In other words, it is impossible for people to let Kong go without knowing it. Therefore, it is the best way to give Kong a position and let him continue to stay in the world government system for the elderly.
In this way, everyone can not tear their faces, and can achieve the goals of both parties, so Kong naturally agreed.
As for what the position is, the world government has not yet determined, but in Kong's view, it is to find a non-combat force, let him lead it, and stay in the world government in name.
Is it possible that the world government can still give itself the position of the commander-in-chief of the entire army, which is jointly controlled by the five old stars?
Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he put his legs directly on the desk in a rare way, while humming a little song from his hometown, while waiting for the arrival of Warring States and Skyler.
He needs his successor, and his most promising newcomer in the navy, to brush up his recognition in the member countries of the world government. Fortunately, after he abdicates, he can let the member countries know who is the most important in the new generation of naval teams.
And one of the 20 kings who established the world government, and the only Alabasta royal family that did not live in Mary Joa, it is very suitable to have a successor.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"
"Come in."
Hearing the knock on the door, Sora shouted happily, and when his voice fell, Sengoku and Skyler also walked in. Seeing Sora's appearance, the two couldn't help being suspicious.
Is this the admiral they know? Why does it look like that bastard Cap is pretending?
Sora didn't seem to have the intention of correcting his sitting posture. He watched the two people come in, pointed to the documents on the table, and said, "King Cobra of the Kingdom of Alabasta had a daughter two days ago. Congratulations on the name.
By the way, Warring States. Remember to mention that you are the only candidate for admiral of the navy in front of the envoys of the allied countries who went to congratulate you, do you understand? "
Hearing this news, Sengoku's expression turned serious, and he signaled with his eyes that Skyler was still there, but Sora rolled his eyes and said, "What are you covering up? Do you think Garp won't tell Skyler such a thing?
Skyler, that bastard Garp, did he tell you that Sengoku is about to become a marshal? "
"Speaking of which, I cut off the new senbei bought by General Warring States yesterday, and told me after I came back."
Skyler said calmly, she wasn't shocked at all, because she knew that Sengoku was the next marshal, but it was a bit beyond his expectation that he took over so late.
At this time, Zhan Guo clenched his fists and said, "It really is that bastard Garp! It made me wait in the office all day yesterday, but I didn't even get the senbei!"
"General Warring States, speaking of it, Lieutenant General Garp asked me to bring it to you, and the others were eaten."
Skyler also ignored that this was the marshal's office. Since Kongdu was so relaxed, she could also relax properly. She took out two senbei in the smallest package from her pocket and handed them to Sengoku.
Zhan Guo took it, looked at the two small bags of senbei, and said angrily: "I bought a thousand bags this time!"
"Well, I know I have to say, it's delicious."
Skyler smiled, Zhan Guo was taken aback, and said, "You ate too?"
"Bang bang bang~"
Seeing that the two were more and more interested in chatting about family matters, Kong stomped on the table with his heel a few times, and said, "Files! Tasks! This is what you guys are going to do. Is it appropriate to talk about things like senbei here?! "
"Oh oh oh!"
Warring States reacted, and just wanted to put the senbei in his pocket to get the documents, but he heard Kong say: "Senbei, give this old man one."
"Huh? But, I'm left."
"hurry up!"
Warring States looked at his old boss, reluctantly handed over the only two bags of senbei remaining, and then stuffed the last bag into his pocket at lightning speed, and picked up the document.
"February 2nd, for girls, it should be the 32nd day to hold a celebration."
Sengoku looked at Skyler and said, "There are only six days left, and we'd better arrive early."
"Crack~click~"
Sengoku was analyzing the document, but Sora was chewing the senbei. The crisp sound made Sengoku's heart bleed. Skyler watched Sengoku's distorted expression and said:
"General Warring States, I will tell you later, the latest hiding location of Lieutenant General Karp's donuts."
"Hahaha~Schuyler, you are indeed my favorite navy rookie!"
In an instant, Warring States regained its vitality, and continued to tell Skyler about Alabasta's intelligence, humanities, customs, and the places that need to be treated with caution during this mission trip.
These are all experiences, and Skyler listened very carefully. After all, she is still very interested in Alabasta, especially the sand crocodile, and there has been no news for several years.
In Crescent Harbor, a warship slowly sailed away. Since it was a special mission, neither Sengoku nor Skyler used their own warships. After all, their warships were both combat ships.
Instead, he drove away from the port slowly on an important travel ship that was always prepared by senior naval officers. On the deck, Skyler looked at Sengoku, who was eating donuts and had an ugly smile, and asked, "Admiral Sengoku, sweetie?" Is it delicious?"
"It's unpalatable, but the old man is happy!"
