From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 151 Admiral, it’s stable!
After praising Bane a few more times, Saint Satan realized that he was not the kind of leader who would only make empty promises.

Soon, he changed the topic and said, "I have seen your strength in the live broadcast. Although you still have some shortcomings, you are indeed brave enough and have enough potential. I believe that you will soon be able to further transform this potential into your own strength. I will not say much about this. Since Zhan Guo is willing to nominate you as a candidate for general, then I and others will also support you. Not only will we support you as a candidate for general, but after Sakaski becomes the new marshal, the vacant general position will also be vacated by you!"

It is undeniable that Bane does not have the top strength to become a navy admiral at the moment.

But Saint Satan, or rather, the Five Elder Stars, are willing to push him to the top.

Because, in the eyes of the Five Elders, Bane's slight lack of strength and his lack of qualifications are his real advantages.

Sakaski is now a general, but when he becomes a marshal, the situation will definitely change over time, and their current relationship with Sakaski will also gradually change as a result.

As I said, at this time, it is necessary to influence the admiral of the navy to indirectly clamp down on the new marshal Sakaski.

According to the current plans of the Five Elders, they certainly did not expect that Kuzan would actually run away, so according to their predictions, only one general position would be vacant.

This involves a lot of considerations.

There is no need to worry too much about Borsalino. He may not stand on Mary Joa's side explicitly, but he is relatively obedient. Kuzan may have some grievances with Sakaski, but it is even less likely that he will be loyal to the Five Elders. Otherwise, the Five Elders would not be so tough and insist on letting Sakaski take the position.

So this last admiral is very interesting. Bane is relatively weak, and he has absolutely no qualifications or experience. Currently, he can only quickly gain a foothold in the navy with the support of Zephyr, but how old is Zephyr?

Saint Satan was not unaware of his physical condition, and he might lie down at any time.

Therefore, the Five Elders believe that Bane is a character that is very easy to control, with relatively insufficient strength, experience and qualifications. After such a person is forcibly pushed to the position of Admiral of the Navy by them, does he have any other choice except to be loyal to the five of them?
At present, there is no such thing.

Especially since he changed his allegiance and jumped from the Warring States side to their side, he would offend the high-ranking naval officials of the Warring States period. If he wants to stay in the business in the future, he will have to cling to their thighs.

Therefore, this is the main reason why Saint Satan chose Bane at this time and was ready to do his best to push Bane to the position of Navy Admiral!
He doesn't care whether Bane is strong enough now. Anyway, Warring States will push him to the position of admiral candidate in the future. Since you, Warring States, have pushed him, it means that you recognize that he is qualified. If there are any problems in the future, Warring States will take the blame.

On the surface, Satan Saint just believed in the judgment of the Warring States. If there are any problems in the future, it can't be blamed on them, right?
Moreover, this does not affect the combat effectiveness of the navy. It is just a question of position. If Bane does not serve as the admiral, will the navy gain any more combat effectiveness out of thin air? Or if Bane becomes the admiral, will the navy lose any combat effectiveness out of thin air?

None of them exist. It's just that people who are more qualified and capable failed to get the position. But they are still in the navy and do not affect the overall strength.

This is the perspective from which Saint Satan, the Five Elders and other high-ranking political figures, consider things.

"There is such a good thing?" Bane was also surprised.

At first, he thought that the Five Elders were just trying to make big promises to him and wanted to use him to do something. Now, it seems that they want to win him over to strengthen the support for Sakaski's promotion to the position and at the same time weaken the power of a wave of Warring States marshals.

Unexpectedly, I could even gain a position as a navy admiral.

Basically, it can be said that since Saint Satan has said this, as long as Bane doesn't mess up, the matter of the new admiral of the navy will be a sure thing for Bane.

"Yes, I guarantee to complete the task and will never let you down!" Bane said excitedly on the spot.

Upon seeing this, Saint Satan nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

In fact, the reason why the Five Elders made this decision this time was just a continuation of a game with the old Navy Marshal Zhan Guo. A few days ago, Zhan Guo and Kuzan discussed a lot, and soon, Zhan Guo took the initiative to take out a report on world conscription and handed it over to Mary Geoise. This report directly disrupted the original plan of the Five Elders.

At the beginning, they wanted to start a real large-scale conscription, and severely interfere with the middle and high-level leaders of the navy, so as to further strengthen Mary Geoise's overall control over the navy.

As for what kind of harm this conscription will bring to the navy, the Five Elders actually don't care at all. In their opinion, there may be some pain, but as time goes by, the navy's huge system will eventually soothe and absorb this pain.

What they need to do is to strengthen their control as much as possible during this period. Nothing else is within their consideration.

But Zhan Guo's attitude really made it difficult for them to take action. After all, that guy had reasons and evidence. The entire plan could be said to have taken all aspects into consideration. He also listed a lot of naval status quo as a reference, blocking all the reasons and excuses that the Five Elders were going to use at the beginning!

After several discussions, the Five Elders had to admit that there was no other option except to push forward this plan at the risk of completely destroying the prestige of Admiral Sengoku, turning against him, and forcing the Navy to start world conscription with a tough attitude, which might cause great turmoil.

In the end, the Five Elders had no choice but to hold their noses and approve Zhan Guo's plan, but they have not yet actually put pen to paper to approve it, so they are just going to wait and see.

Because of this, their dissatisfaction with Zhan Guo quickly reached its peak. Not to mention that Zhan Guo himself was planning to retire, even if he wanted to continue working, the Five Elders would not allow it.

Therefore, they paid more attention to the election of a new marshal, and would never allow Kuzan, who stood on the side of the Warring States, to take the position.

At the same time, the Five Elder Stars began to plan revenge against Zhan Guo's behavior.

In Warring States' plan, Bane and his team were presented as an important bargaining chip to supplement the mid- and high-level combat power of the navy, which happened to be chosen by the Five Elders.

You, Zhan Guo, are using this as a reason, as a bargaining chip, and as an excuse to hinder our original plan. Well, then, we will directly cut off the source of the problem and poach people like Bane, whom you value, and turn them into the influence of our Mary Geoise. When the time comes, you will submit the plan and we will approve it. However, the result will be completely different from what you expected. It will be a pleasure to see that you, Zhan Guo, can't say anything about your suffering.

Therefore, Bane's current situation is precisely due to the power game among the upper echelons of the world's government.

In this game, he seemed to be the biggest beneficiary.

But on second thought, if he had not demonstrated enough value, these opportunities would never have fallen into his lap. It is still true that opportunities come to those who are prepared.

Every sip and every bite is determined by God.

Whether it was the Warring States or the Five Elders, they all thought they were at a higher level and were thinking about pulling Bane and others into their own factions and camps.

But they all made the same mistake: arrogance.

It seemed as if none of them had ever considered the possibility that Bane himself was a camp and faction?
"Having said that, even for us, we still need a suitable reason. So before that, you have to perform better. At least you have to provide us with a reasonable opportunity. Do you understand?" Saint Satan patted Bane's shoulder earnestly.

Bane nodded immediately and said, "I understand. To be honest, I am planning to hunt down Golden Lion Shiki."

"Shi Ji?" Saint Satan had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly and said in approval, "Very good, Shi Ji's words are indeed important. Do a good job."

He didn't care about Bane's plan or anything like that. It didn't matter and there was no need to ask too much. As long as Bane could write the answer sheet to his satisfaction, that would be enough.
