I don't want to be a general, I choose Buddhism

"In addition, in this joint crusade, the ranks will be ranked according to the merits of the base leaders."

"The top ten will be awarded the title of [Beihai Outstanding Base Commander] recognized by the Navy Headquarters, and will be given the opportunity to go to the Navy Headquarters for further study!"

"For the top three, I will personally apply for a promotion to the Navy Headquarters."

As Ion said these last words, the aspiring naval base commanders among the phone bugs couldn't help breathing heavily.

What the rest of the bosses said, these naval base chiefs may still have doubts in their hearts, questioning whether it will be an empty promise.

But what is that, North Sea Inspector Steffimer Ion?

The identity of the son of the Admiral is enough to fully guarantee that what he said has a very high gold content.

Become stronger!

Even the opportunity to become stronger and promoted to a higher status at the same time is just around the corner!

"Everyone, justice will prevail!!!"

In the final chants, Ion ended the somewhat hasty meeting.

Immediately, Ion looked towards the sea that was vaguely visible outside the window, and already felt that the entire Beihai Navy was beginning to move.

"It's also time. Most of the internal problems of the Beihai Navy have been solved. Next, it is time to screen out a truly capable navy through a joint operation to fill the vacant base chief position."

Ian tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, thinking about the situation in the entire North Sea.

"The Age of Great Pirates" is no joke. The number of pirates that emerge in an endless stream is far higher than that of the navy, so this time the joint crusade operation, Ion does not think that the problem of the flood of pirates in the North Sea can be completely solved.

However, there is no doubt that it will have a certain deterrent effect and inhibitory effect, and it can also play a great role in training the North Sea Navy.

As far as Ion knew, Gion and Kaji had already ended their term of office as inspectors and returned to the Navy Headquarters to report their duties, which also made Ion feel that he might not have much time left to stay in the North Sea.

The reason why the old man in the Warring States period has not urged himself now is probably just because of Corazon.

Once Corazon's problem is resolved, Ian feels that he may not be able to avoid the possibility of returning to the Navy headquarters.

Chapter 97 Lieutenant General Crane to Beihai

The big move that the Beihai Navy started, even the general-level officers of the navy headquarters began to pay attention.

This matter was mentioned in a routine meeting of the Navy's high-level officials.

"It's a bit of an adventure, little guy Ion."

Lieutenant General Crane looked at the report from the Beihai Navy and said.

"Among the four seas, stability is still the main thing at present, and stability is the most important thing. Although Captain Yan's joint crusade does not have any major loopholes, if it is too radical, it will easily cause the pirates to attack. bounce back."

To the surprise of everyone present, Sakaski, who had a great conflict with Ion in the past and has now been promoted to general, spoke in a supportive tone at this moment.

"Justice is not afraid of rebound. I think Captain Ion's battle plan is too conservative. The ultimate goal should be to clean up the entire North Sea pirates, not just suppress the capable ones among the captive pirates."

"Admiral Sakasky, it is unrealistic to do this with the military strength of the North Sea Navy, and once the pirates rebound, maybe they will vent by massacres of civilians, or form a temporary marine The thief fleet is coming to attack the navy." Admiral Crane said calmly.

"Wouldn't it be more ridiculous if the navy did nothing for fear of such pirates' revenge? Justice is not afraid of any threat." Sakaski retorted.

"Well, there's no point in arguing about this."

The Warring States Marshal knocked on the table, interrupting this question, which was essentially a battle of ideas, and said.

"Now that Captain Ion is the inspector of the North Sea, he naturally has his own judgment. Perhaps this method of joint bases and bases to conduct regular crusade operations is more in line with the environment of the four seas. Chase decides."

Immediately, the Warring States Marshal opened his mouth and threw the next issue.

Soon, this routine naval meeting was successfully concluded. As the rest of the naval executives left the conference room, only the Warring States Marshal and Lieutenant General Crane remained in the entire conference room.

"Sengoku, the plan of joint crusade isn't the one who directed Captain Ion from behind, right?" Lieutenant General Crane asked suddenly.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" The Warring States Marshal asked in surprise.

"Captain Yan stayed in Beihai for more than six years, and basically did nothing. Suddenly such a big plan came. It's not that you planned to promote Captain Yan, so you made this arrangement deliberately?" Lieutenant General He replied. .

"Hahaha, Xiaohe, this is a mistake."

The Warring States Marshal said with a big smile.

"That kid Yan has an unparalleled talent in the formulation of grand strategy. I didn't even know about this so-called joint crusade beforehand."

"Really? But I see that you seem to be paying more attention to Beihai's affairs recently, and you are frequently confirming Beihai's information." Lieutenant General Crane said.

The Warring States Marshal's expression was a little stiff, and he asked with a little embarrassment. "Is it that obvious?"

Immediately, the Warring States Marshal didn't hide it, he flipped through the documents in his hand and found one of them and handed it to Lieutenant General He.

"That's what worries me."

"Ok?"

Lieutenant General Crane took the document and turned it over. The originally kind eyes were a little more dignified, and he muttered.

"The Don Quixote family? The virtual circle organization?"

Soon, Lieutenant General Crane browsed through the contents of the document, which was actually the information about the conflict between the virtual circle organization and the Don Quixote family that Corazon first reported to the Marshal of the Warring States Period.

"When did a virtual circle organization appear, and it was so powerful that it could easily coerce the Don Quixote family?" Lieutenant General Crane said with some doubts.

It stands to reason that with the intelligence sources of the world government and the navy, the world government and the navy will know a thing or two about the powerful men in the sea. .

However, Lieutenant General Crane had never heard of any similar information about this so-called virtual circle organization, as well as the ability to control humans and attack in a large range beyond the line of sight reported by Corazon.

This is... extremely suspicious.

"Could it be... the world government, or an organization established privately by the world nobles?" Admiral Crane asked speculatively.

"No, I have confirmed with the Five Old Stars, and the World Government has not heard of any virtual circle organization, and even if it is an organization established privately by the Tianlong people, the Five Old Stars cannot be ignorant of it." The Warring States Marshal replied.

"If you say that..."

Lieutenant General Crane suddenly realized something and said. "So, Captain Yan suddenly carried out a large-scale combat operation in the North Sea area, and it also means to secretly find the virtual circle organization?"

The Warring States Marshal nodded and said.

"Ion didn't tell me that, but according to my guess, it should be right."

"That's right, after all, no matter how mysterious the virtual circle organization is, there will still be some clues left. Captain Ion's combat operation this time is obviously aimed at pirates with devil fruit abilities in the North Sea. This is a way to force the virtual circle organization to reveal its traces."

After a pause, Lieutenant General He said with a little emotion.

"Warring States, your adopted son usually looks like a mess, but you have encountered some things that need to be dealt with. You are quite reliable and considerate of you."

The Warring States Marshal showed a little disdain on his face, and said in a slightly unnatural tone.

"Where is there any reliability? This reckless behavior of catching fish with a big net is not afraid of provoking a counterattack from the virtual circle organization."

At this moment, Lieutenant General He could see that the Warring States Marshal was actually worried about the situation in Beihai.

The Void Circle Organization and the Don Quixote Family, a powerful organization that should have lived on the Great Route, were huddled together in places like the North Sea, where the average combat power was weak.

In particular, Ion's physique is notoriously weak, except for the "cherry blossom fruit", he basically does not have too strong combat power.

In this way, those powerhouses who exist in the North Sea are undoubtedly equivalent to a blade that can hurt Ion at any time.

It's no wonder that the Warring States period was a little worried about the situation in the North Sea.

Lieutenant General Crane thought for a while, then said.

"Warring States, Brother Doflamingo has been entrenched in the Beihai for a long time. This is a hidden danger after all. Why don't I go to the Beihai and drive the Don Quixote family away from the Beihai?"

"Huh? Now?"

The Warring States Marshal said subconsciously, but he reacted immediately.

On the bright side, Lieutenant General Crane is going to expel the Don Quixote family from the North Sea. In fact, going to the North Sea at this point is tantamount to escorting Ion.

Although Lieutenant General He is not known for his ingenuity, the strength of Lieutenant General He is absolutely not to be underestimated. The ordinary Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters is afraid that Lieutenant General He will not be able to support it.

"If that's the case, then I'll trouble you." Marshal Warring States said gratefully.

"No, just remember to help me with the official business."

Immediately, the expression of the Warring States Marshal stiffened.

Chapter 98 The Forced Head Coach

And as the armaments mobilized from the naval headquarters arrived in Beihai and handed over to the commanders of each naval base, the mighty Beihai base joint crusade began.

Just like Ion's order, with absolute gunfire, carry out the name of justice!

The sound of "Boom Rumble" sounded in every corner of the North Sea. One after another, the pirate bounty orders marked with the fruit's ability were used as targets to be chased and intercepted by the Combined Fleet, just like a reminder. .

There is no need for naval soldiers to face-to-face, the naval base commanders only need to keep firing from a distance until the target pirate ship is sunk, then pick up the drowning capable person, and count the important belongings in the pirate ship.

For a time, amid the roar of artillery fire, the arrogance of the pirates in the North Sea was obviously stagnant, but the morale of the navy gradually increased.

Of course, the scale of this kind of joint crusade that spread across the entire North Sea was not just a few days, as if the demonstrations were coming to an end.

In the battle plan formulated by Yan, this joint crusade lasted for more than three months.

During this period, the naval officers and soldiers will fight hard and go to all parts of the sea.

Ian sits in the 521 naval base to stabilize the military, and diligently handles the results reported by the commanders of the various naval bases. In addition to counting their merits and sorting them, he also needs to secretly confirm the "fruits of the operation". intelligence.

"Ah~"

In the top office of the 521 naval base, Ion, who had just woken up, yawned, opened his eyes in a daze, and asked.

"Robin, baby-5, how is the result today? Is there any news of the result of the operation?"

Robin, who was sorting out various pieces of information with baby-5, shook his head and said.

"Brother Yan, the fruit of the operation has not been found yet, on the contrary, there is a piece of information you need to pay attention to.

While Robin was talking, he handed a piece of information to baby-5 next to him and said. "baby-5, can I please?"

Baby-5's tired expression changed instantly, his eyes dimly lit up, and he responded energetically. "Yes!"

Immediately, baby-5 took the information with both hands, and then ran to Yon to tell the information and hand it over.

Looking at this scene, Ian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

'Robin has also completely mastered the password to command baby-5! '

However, as Ion focused his attention on the information in his hands, his expression became solemn.

As expected, it still happened!

The formation of fleets in adjacent naval bases to carry out large-scale attacks, constantly oppressing the living space of the pirates, finally led to some vicious, lawless pirates began to unite to try to counter the naval fleet, and the scale is not small.

Although most of the pirates are a rabble, chaotic and undisciplined, but overall they are particularly sturdy.

Once the number of pirates united is too large and the artillery defense line of the warship is broken through, the naval fleet is likely to be defeated.

Ian thought for a while and decided to use his usual trick - summon Hope!

"Robin, convey the military order and ask Second Lieutenant Hope to rush to the 323 Naval Base to cooperate with the operation."

Hearing this, Robin asked with some doubts. "Brother Yan, just send a second lieutenant to support?"

"No problem, the real strength of Second Lieutenant Hope is the Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, and the general rabble can't pose a threat to Second Lieutenant Hope at all." Ian explained casually.

"I see."

Robin nodded, and then wrote an order book for Ion, and then handed it over to the communication room to convey the order.

However, just when Ion thought that Second Lieutenant Hope would take care of those pirate alliances smoothly.

A few days later, an urgent message reached Yon's office.

Lieutenant Hope, seriously injured!

A full sixteen pirates united into the Pirate Alliance and began to counterattack the naval fleet composed of five nearby pirate bases.

Even though the navy's artillery fire was fierce, the five naval warships could only retreat in the face of the siege of 323 pirate ships, and escorted the seriously injured Second Lieutenant Hope to stick to the [-] naval base and turn to defense.

"These pirates... how dare you!"
