From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

As soon as the Warring States General finished speaking, Diarmuid and Sakaski were both stunned, and then their expressions changed a little, as if they had some understanding.

Diarmuid had no idea what Sakaski was feeling.

But he understood that the power and status he had been pursuing, the positions of general and marshal, brought not only the majesty of "holding the world's troops and having more than a million under his command", but also the heavy responsibility of thousands of lives depending on him!

Just like the generals of the Warring States Period, they lived a glorious life and made great military achievements, but if they made a mistake one day, more than 20,000 sailors would be sacrificed!

That’s 20,000 lives!

Diarmuid and Sakaski both felt something, but neither of them spoke.

At this moment, Chief of Staff Azuru spoke up, "The primary responsibility for this deployment error lies with me. As the head of the Intelligence Department, I failed to even notice that the Whitebeard Pirates had left the New World. I should bear the primary responsibility!"

General Zhan Guo was not polite either, even though he had a good relationship with Chief of Staff Ahe, and even many naval generals had spread rumors about them for years, saying that they had some close relationship in the past.

But this time, General Zhan Guo didn't waste any words and said directly, "Xiao He, your mistake is undeniable. You will be punished severely, and your rank as Lieutenant General will be reduced for two years. Your rank as Chief of Staff will be revoked. The Intelligence Department will be ordered to investigate and find the source of the mistake. You and your subordinates will also be judged in court-martial. The trial will begin on Judicial Island in two weeks, and the Marshal will personally listen to the verdict!"

After all these things, Chief of Staff Ahe was almost reduced to a useless position. He lost his position as Chief of Staff and received the treatment of Lieutenant General for two years. Basically, he did not receive any salary and did not enjoy the benefits of a senior general. He only had the title of Lieutenant General for nothing.

And the reputation of the chief of staff was also destroyed, which is really tragic.

The worst part is that they have to go to court-martial. …

In this matter, Lieutenant General Ahe of the Intelligence Department may not be executed, but there will definitely be many people who will be brought to the military court and executed.

After all, although the responsibility lies with the Warring States general, if you think about it carefully, he did not make any mistakes.

He made a failed judgment based on the wrong intelligence from the Intelligence Department.

But from a macro perspective, the previous arrangements made by the Warring States generals were all reasonable.

Therefore, the one who actually made the mistake was Lieutenant General Ahe.

Gion was clearly about to say something to plead for mercy, but as soon as she moved, Diarmuid grabbed her hand and said in a serious and solemn manner, "Shut up."

Gion was stunned for a moment, and said unwillingly: "The Chief Advisor..."

"Do you think you are the only one who has a good relationship with the Chief of Staff?" Diarmuid glared at Gion.

Gion's eyes paused for a moment, and he finally sighed and said nothing more.

...ask for flowers.

Yes, this matter does not allow for any pleading. Just as Diarmait said, are Gion and the Chief of Staff the only ones present who are as close as sisters?

Wasn't Diarmuid also brought up by the Chief of Staff?

A great general of the Warring States Period might even be having an affair with the chief of staff.

Why didn't they say anything to plead for mercy?

It's not just because of the seriousness of the matter, but also because, speaking out now would be an insult to the Chief of Staff, as if saying that she is irresponsible!

"Yes." Chief of Staff Ahe responded softly.

After saying this, she seemed to feel a little relieved, and the self-blame in her heart seemed to be relieved a little, but she also looked much older.

Afterwards, the Warring States General did not say what punishment he would accept, nor did he pursue the crimes of Diarmuid and others.

Diarmait and others were actually innocent and their performance was quite good.

But General Sengoku himself will definitely suffer, and what he wants to suffer is not the Judicial Island, but the pressure from the World Government. He just didn't say it.

Diarmuid and the others would not ask without any courtesy, after all, they were not that bastard Garp.

"Let's not talk about that for now. The most urgent thing is the impact of this incident. Fortunately, you have captured Douglas Barrett, so our navy will not be left with no foothold in this failure." General Zhan Guo said after calming down a little.

However, no one among Diarmait and the others spoke, and no one dared to come out and take credit.

"Sand crocodile. Crocodile's whereabouts are unknown and he could not be captured. We cannot rule out the possibility that he died there. Of course, we believe that he is still alive. That guy is very cunning, but he is not a priority after all. We don't need to worry about him for now, Diarmait." The Warring States general said.

"Yes!" Diarmait responded quickly.

"The geographical advantages of the Spring Queen Island are obvious, and our strategic deployment cannot be changed casually. You will be responsible for relocating an island there. We want to rebuild the Spring Queen Island. Is that ok?" asked the Warring States general.

"No problem!" Diarmait nodded.

It's just a bit of effort, it's really not a problem.

General Zhan Guo then nodded again and looked at Jonathan and said, "Lieutenant General Jonathan, from now on, you G-8 and G-7 must work together on this matter and rebuild the naval base on Spring Queen Island. After that, I will be appointed as the base commander of G-16 base in Dalmesia. You two should help him rebuild G-16."

Lieutenant General Jonathan also didn't see any point in saying, "Understood."

Diarmait naturally had no other nonsense to say, as this was what he should do.

Afterwards, the Warring States general gave instructions for many follow-up arrangements, which concluded this emergency meeting.

When everyone was about to leave, the Warring States general said, "Diarmuid, please stay. I will talk to you later."

Although Diarmait was a little confused, he sat back on the sofa.

Soon, General Zhan Guo put down the documents in his hand, looked at Diarmuid and said, "What do you think after fighting with that bastard Whitebeard?"

Diarmait scratched his head briefly, then said, "At least at this stage, he should be invincible, right?"

"That's right..." Admiral Sengoku murmured softly, then said, "I just received news that Fishman Island has surrendered to the Whitebeard Pirates. As one of the hubs connecting the front and back Grand Lines, if Fishman Island is captured by the Whitebeard Pirates, you should know what kind of impact this will have, right?"

"The Whitebeard Pirates will become stronger and stronger. They have the power to select the first wave of new pirates who are capable of entering the New World." Diarmait said softly.

"That's right." The Warring States general nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Diarmait shook his head and said, “No…”

The Warring States general was silent for a while after hearing this, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I just wanted to talk to you for a few words, go and get busy."

Right

Chapter 145: New Generation Navy Gathering! (Update )

To be honest, it was a bit strange that Fishman Island was only taken over by Whitebeard now.

Because I have the impression that not long after the Great Pirate Era began, Whitebeard went to Fishman Island to help his good friend Neptune.

Now it seems that some changes have taken place.

As for Whitebeard taking over Fishman Island, it can only be said that there are both good and bad sides.

Fishman Island falling into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates is at least much better than falling into the hands of the Big Mom Pirates or the Beasts Pirates.

Given Whitebeard's personality, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely be able to recruit a lot of forces on Fishman Island.

After all, that is the only way for new pirates to enter the new world.

Whitebeard's personal charm should convince many newcomers to join the Whitebeard Pirates.

But then again, Whitebeard is not someone who likes to use force.

Even if those arrogant and capable newcomers do not choose to join him, as long as they do not cause trouble on Fishman Island, Newgate probably will not pay any attention to them.

On the contrary, what if the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates occupied Fishman Island.

Judging from the way they both like to force people to join their gang.

He will surely gather a large number of evil people as his followers in a matter of minutes.

That's what's really uncomfortable.

Marine Headquarters. Marineford.

The bar in the living quarters. Inside the Navy Club.

Boss Po wiped his wine glass while looking at the dismal business.

A naval defeat resulted in the sacrifice of many sailors, which naturally affected the environment in Marineford. Business has been poor in recent days.

Boss Po is not worried about the profits, after all, he has no shortage of them.

He just felt a little regretful, fearing that he would never see many familiar faces again.

"As far as I can remember, it's been many years since the navy suffered such a defeat?" Boss Po murmured softly.

If you think about it carefully, although the navy is not invincible, it has suffered occasional defeats in recent years. For example, not long ago in the New World, Vice Admiral Borsalino was almost wiped out by the Big Mom Pirates.

But those were wins and losses under normal circumstances, which are within the normal range and do not have much impact.

This time, the navy suffered such a heavy defeat, which seems to have never happened in the past ten years?

In particular, in recent years, the navy as a whole has been on the rise, and has captured a number of well-known pirates such as Shiki, Roger, and the Red Earl.

The sudden defeat had a huge impact on morale.

At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and then a rear admiral looked inside, found his companions, smiled, and walked into the room.

Boss Poe looked up and smiled. "Oh, isn't that Dauberman? I heard you went to G-7 and worked under that Diarmait. Why are you back today?"

Doberman listened to Boss Poe's words and smiled. "The Lieutenant General returned to G-7 a few days ago and gave me a vacation. It's really a rare opportunity to come back..."

"Has Diarmait returned to G-7? How is he? Is he okay?" Boss Po asked with some concern.

Dauberman waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not hurt. I'm just in a bad mood."

"Alas, it's not his fault." Boss Po obviously had his own inside information and knew more or less about the situation at the time. He softened his tone and comforted him.

Dauberman nodded and said, "The Lieutenant General hasn't been held accountable either. I don't think he can be blamed."

After a few more words, Dauberman grabbed a drink from the bar and walked over to a table in the corner.

At this time, Ghost Spider, Burning Mountain, Flying Squirrel, Stirles, Kesha, Stolobelli and others were all here.

Looking at the epaulettes, Ghost Spider and Huoshaoshan both have lieutenant general epaulettes, while the rest have major general epaulettes.

And these people are also the new generation of the navy, the third batch of elites.

The first batch, of course, included Diarmuid, Sakaski, Kuzan, and Borsalino.

The second batch consists of Gion and Kake.

The third batch is them.

"Doberman, come and sit down." The flying squirrel greeted Doberman with a smile and pulled out a chair.

Dauberman didn't say anything polite and sat down with an empty glass. Then Keisha poured him a glass of wine.

Although Major General Keisha's name sounds like a girl's, he is actually the most handsome guy in this group and a real hunk.

Speaking of which, even though they are sitting together now and seem to be getting along very well, this can only be considered a personal relationship, and from a factional perspective.

Ghost Spider and Stirles are obviously the hawkish navy on Sakaski's side.
