One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

Chapter 175 Reasons for Failure

The Organ Islands are an archipelago consisting of a large island and several small islands. Although Roya has never set foot on the largest island of the Organ Islands, he has visited Moonlight Island, a small island on the edge of the Organ Islands, and West Rob Village on Moonlight Island during his investigation in the East China Sea. In addition, he has also visited a small island in the opposite corner of the other end of the Organ Islands, where Orange Town was established.

Standing in front of the map, Roya muttered: "Organ Islands." The revolutionary army here is quite strong. After all, it is not far from Dawn Island where the Goa Kingdom is located. Moreover, it was when Roya occupied Orange Town that he came up with the strategic idea of ​​surrounding the big island with small islands.

Inspired by the Shimokatsuki Village model, he further improved the Spark strategy plan. Especially in Orange Town, the soldiers of the Heavy Life Army took deep roots there.

The Organ Islands are vast, almost the second largest island in the East China Sea, much larger than Dawn Island where the Kingdom of Goa is located. The larger the territory, the greater the strategic depth. The local uprising armed forces on the Organ Islands are far more powerful than those on Polaris Island, Hobby Island, and the Kingdom of Oikot.

If they want to contain the pace of the World Government and find out its strength, the Fengqin Islands are undoubtedly an ideal battlefield. Roya ordered the five senior officers of the Revolutionary Army behind him: "Mr. Yixiao, Mori, Kuzan, Mr. Long, the four of you will lead 1,500 elite backbones and follow me to the Fengqin Islands; Mr. Nagli, you and the remaining 500 soldiers will stay on Sky Island and continue to form a central command organization."

Although the Sky Island Frontier Command Center is useful, it is not the right time now. Roya needs to go through a war to carefully investigate the opponent and find out the enemy situation. Only then will it be time to truly deploy troops on a large scale on the ocean. At that time, he will be stationed on Sky Island, command the overall situation of the two major southeastern regions, and implement multi-point operations, and then he will use the Frontier Command Center.

At present, Luo Ya intends to go deep into the grassroots. Because he has been away from Donghai for a long time, he does not know the grassroots situation there very well, even Ge Meng is no exception. Since the uprising of the Hundred Kingdoms, the situation in Donghai has become increasingly chaotic. Even though Ge Meng has been laying out in the Kingdom of Goya for more than two years, it is now in chaos.

This is why, although the navy has cleared the three major islands, Gomon cannot provide more detailed intelligence. In fact, the vast sea area of ​​the East China Sea is the best strategic depth. With the guerrilla tactics of the revolutionary army, they can escape into the sea at any time. Even if the world's ruthless gfu has a strong military force, it cannot be completely blocked.

However, the local armed forces on the three large islands were wiped out by the World Government, reflecting the problems of these local armed forces. These problems are exactly what Roya wants to find out during this trip, otherwise there is no possibility of success in this operation.

After issuing the order, the fleet quickly assembled, and ten large warships carrying 1,500 elite members of the Revolutionary Army headed for the Qinghai Organ Islands. With the help of Fujitora's Gravity Fruit and Ryu's Wind-Wind Fruit, the Revolutionary Army moved very fast, and it only took a large part of the time to get from Sky Island to the Organ Islands.

Three days later, Roya landed in Orange Town. The town was located on the edge of the Organ Islands, closer to Dawn Island. According to the current blockade route of the World Government, they had to open up all the way from Xiluobu Village in the direction of Upside Down Mountain to reach the small island of Orange Town.

More than a thousand key members stayed on the ship. Luo Ya and Long disguised themselves and quietly sneaked into Orange Town. Now the East China Sea may be full of CP spies, so all actions must be cautious.

Accustomed to the freedom of the Red Flag Kingdom, in Orange Town, Roya seemed to have returned to the Kingdom of Lubni and the tense moments when he faced the World Government in Frevans. Although he was not used to it for a moment, he quickly adjusted. After all, he spent most of his time in this state, and the Red Flag Kingdom became a brief exception.

Luo Ya and Long came to a physical gym in Orange Town together. This gym was part of the Revolutionary Army's Spark Plan, a strategic plan formulated by Aiya based on the idea of ​​the Shimotsuki Village gym.

The core members of the Revolutionary Army were dispersed and scattered to various islands to establish gyms. The gyms were responsible for recruiting students and teaching physical skills to prevent pirate attacks. Unknowingly, the gyms took root in various islands and towns and became popular. In the process, the Revolutionary Army secretly verified and evaluated and developed its own team of warriors.

This plan was very effective. In just over two years, the local dojos had established themselves firmly in many small island towns, improving local public security and winning great public support. The revolutionary army's mass base in the East China Sea was becoming increasingly strong.

Although a large number of elite cadres went to big cities to form local armed forces due to the Hundred Kingdoms Uprising, the Revolutionary Army was not optimistic about the outcome of the uprising at first, so they basically retained the "spark", that is, left a small number of manpower in each gym to maintain operations.

Even during the Hundred Nations Uprising, the marginal towns would not be affected too much. The current situation in the East China Sea is that on the one hand, the marginal towns continue to secretly promote the Spark Plan, and on the other hand, there is the seemingly massive Hundred Nations Uprising Movement.

The Taijutsu gym in Orange Town is called Montor Gym, named after its founder, the revolutionary soldier Montor, who was also a member of the original Uncertainty Terminal.

Since they had made contact in advance, Montor was already waiting at the entrance of the gym. Roya had an excellent memory and recognized his iconic beard at a glance, which was very eye-catching even during the period of the Uncertainty Terminal.

When Roya walked into the gym, he asked directly, "What's the situation in the Organ Islands?" Hearing this, Montor's face immediately became serious.

"The situation is terrible. We have basically suffered a major defeat and have little resistance," Montour replied.

As soon as the three words "great defeat" appeared, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became extremely solemn.

"Go on," Roya said, looking at Montor.

Montour took out a detailed map of Fengqin Island from the drawer. The map of Fengqin Island was long and narrow. Montour pointed to the island on the left, where Xiluobu Village was located, and began to tell the story.

"There are four large cities on Fengqin Island, arranged from west to east. We basically have corresponding military forces in these cities. But until today, two cities have completely lost contact."

"That means the navy has landed on Fengqin Island and quickly cleared out our forces in the two western cities."

"That's right." Montour nodded in confirmation.

"Do you know exactly when the navy landed on Fengqin Island?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be within three days, because the earliest news came out three days ago, when the westernmost city had already been occupied by the navy."

"Three days?" Luo Ya whispered. Probably the day they set out from Sky Island, the navy had already landed on Fengqin Island for at least one day and quickly captured a big city.

"So when was the second major city wiped out by the armed forces?"

"It was around five o'clock yesterday afternoon." Montour was obviously impressed by this situation and gave an answer immediately.

“Have we completely lost contact?”

"Yes."

At this time, Luo Ya had a rough assessment in his mind. The navy not only had to occupy the big cities, but also had to eliminate the local armed forces that might be lurking in the surrounding mountains or nearby villages. The navy was indeed powerful and its speed of action was also very fast. It only took three days from the complete loss of contact with the first big city to the second big city.

In these three days, the navy basically wiped out all the armed forces in a large city and its surroundings. Although he kept in touch with Montor mainly with the local armed forces led by the revolutionary army, there were other regional armed forces besides them. But Roya did not despise the armed forces in other regions. If the revolutionary army with advanced equipment and rich combat experience was defeated, how could those local armed forces that rose up in the chaos survive under the nose of Tian Ao Zhe?

The power displayed by the World Government this time was obviously overwhelming, which was beyond doubt and within Roya's expectations. However, Roya did not expect that the Revolutionary Army would be completely defeated and lose contact so quickly under such circumstances.

War is not a simple one-on-one contest or a duel between generals. It does not mean that you can rest easy just because your overall strength is strong enough. If that were the case, the Revolutionary Army would have been defeated in the Battle of Frevans. With the ocean as a strategic depth and many small islands as a source of supplies, the East China Sea should have been an advantageous battlefield for the Revolutionary Army. Compared with the World Government, which left the East China Sea alone, the Revolutionary Army should be more familiar with the marine environment as it has taken root here. In addition to the mass base cultivated by taking root, the Revolutionary Army should be able to operate easily in the East China Sea and use guerrilla tactics to avoid the main force of the World Government. Even if it cannot achieve major achievements, it will not fall into such a passive situation by being beaten by the World Government.

There must be something wrong somewhere.

"What do you think is the reason for our failure? Aside from the fact that our navy is too strong." Roya pondered for a while and asked Montor: "I mean our own problems."

"Ah?" Montour was obviously stunned, but he started thinking immediately.

However, after thinking for a while, Montour smiled bitterly and did not give a clear answer.

Luo Ya also understood that this question was indeed a bit harsh. After all, he was just a liaison officer and had not personally gone to the front-line armed forces of the Hundred Nations Uprising. Even he himself might not be able to answer such a question, let alone Montor.

Seeing that Montor couldn't answer, Luo Ya didn't say anything more. He stood up and said, "Let's go and see the first large city that was occupied on Fengqin Island."

"Now?" Long was a little confused: "Do we need to inform Mr. Yixiao and the others?"

"No need." Luo Ya waved his hand: "There are only three of us. If there are more people, it will be troublesome."

"According to the time calculation, when we get there, it will be almost the time when the navy is ready to take action. Maybe we can collect some useful information..."

The continuous rapid failures made him guess something, but this was just a guess after all, and he still needed to experience it personally to confirm it.

"Okay." Long did not object.

By the time Luo Ya and his crew arrived at the third largest city in the Fengqin Islands, the navy's vanguard had already arrived and was fighting fiercely with the local armed forces.

Luo Ya did not make a move. To be honest, he could not stop this situation because the situation on the battlefield was completely a one-sided defeat.

Roya frowned as he watched the obvious defeat of the local uprising troops. To be honest, if Montor hadn't pointed it out, he really didn't want to believe that this was just the strength of the local armed forces under the leadership of the revolutionary army.

They had no organization or discipline. They were only facing the vanguard of the navy. In terms of strength, this frontier force of the navy could not be considered a strong force. Roya had fought with the navy many times before, and it was obvious that this was not the main force of the navy, nor was it an elite force transferred from the Grand Line.

At most, they were just some forces mobilized by the navy from various forces in the four major sea areas, and in terms of numbers, they were even less than the local armed forces of the revolutionary army.

However, it was such a team that did not even have a vice admiral or general in charge, but it actually defeated the local armed forces of the revolutionary army and made them flee.

"Hmph." Luo Ya's face looked gloomy and ugly.

Long on the side also had a serious look on his face. After this battle, he felt pessimistic about the strength of the local armed forces of the revolutionary army under the Hundred Nations Uprising.

At this moment, Long couldn't help but have pessimistic thoughts: If the situation in the East China Sea is like this, it will be impossible to resist the attack of the Tian Ao government this time.

"Mr. Luo Ya." Long looked at Luo Ya, who was a core figure in the revolutionary army.

Fortunately, despite his grim expression, Roya was able to remain calm and give instructions.

"Notify Yixiao and Kuzan immediately and lead them to the fourth city on Fengqin Island. At the same time, have Zhenzhong immediately find out the situation of the underground hidden passage."

"Yes." Long responded immediately.
