One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

However, the hatred between the two sides is far from disappearing with the end of the war. The pirates and the navy, two naturally antagonistic groups, have a deeper and deeper resentment towards each other as the war unfolds.

And the terrible resentment will give birth to a new war. No matter whether the pirates are at a disadvantage or the navy falls into decline, once the scale representing the balance between the two sides tilts to one side, the war sweeping the whole world will begin again.

War will in turn give rise to new hatred, and thus hatred will continue to deepen in a spiral way and can never be eliminated.

Therefore, the criterion for judging whether the navy is in decline and whether the navy’s internal affairs are clean is to look at the distribution of factions within the navy.

The naval admirals should be replaced, and the hawkish navy should make up the majority. Only such a navy can be a normal and combat-capable navy.

After all, when the general is on standby, balance is not something you should consider at all, just kill the enemies as much as you can.

As a navy, whether driven by hatred or having witnessed the inhumane looting of pirates, one should have the idea of ​​"killing all pirates". Only in this way can the blood-stained navy become the most powerful blade of justice.

In order to balance the overall structure of the navy and prevent this chariot of justice from getting out of control, there must be at least one admiral who openly represents the doves, balances all parties, and avoids the emergence of new factions that are out of the control of the navy's top brass.

At the same time, the Admiral should also make moves toward dovishness to a certain extent, even if the Admiral himself is a hawk, so as to completely balance the energies of the two factions.

Whether it is the middle and lower levels of the navy, the doves can compete with or even overwhelm the hawks, or the naval marshals need to show obvious hawkish tendencies in order to control the entire navy, it can only mean that the entire naval group has serious problems in ideological construction.

Navy personnel at all levels do not think about things at all levels. They are either compassionate, unrealistic, and unable to distinguish right from wrong (Ke), or they judge pirates based on their own ideas and put their own code of conduct above justice and naval discipline (Da Qingji, Mou Pu), or they regard naval justice as part of achieving their own selfish interests (Ka).

Or perhaps they have witnessed the cruelty of war, and the fear in their hearts overwhelms their faith, so they choose to use the name of doves to cover up the fact that they are afraid of death deep down.

There is no doubt that in this era, especially among the navy that has experienced this war, there will definitely be a large number of hawkish representatives at the grassroots level in the next 10 to 20 years.

This is precisely another intention of the top leaders in launching the war, which is to use the cruelty of war, the influence of iron and blood, and the deepening of hatred to optimize the ideological construction of the entire navy.

……

In response to this, the top naval officers did not vent their anger like the ordinary marines, but stood quietly on a high place, overlooking the scene below.

"Carsente, Borsaleno, this is the first time for the two of you to participate in a war of this scale. What do you think?"

At the top of a mountain in the G1 branch, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Carsente and Borsaleno in front of him and asked.

Although there are few mountains near the G1 branch after the devastation of the war... ahem, after the war, General Sengoku took into consideration that both of them were experiencing war for the first time, so he asked Vice Admiral Tsuru to take care of the psychological state of the newcomers.

"Well... I feel okay, but it would be better if the salary could be increased. After all, this war is quite hard."

Borsaleno answered slowly while eating the banana in his hand.

In this battle, Borsaleno's opponents are the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division Captain, Phoenix Marco, and the Golden Lion Pirates' First Division Captain, Holy Book Manhart.

The powerful speed brought by the Pika Pika Nomi allows Borsaleno to always have the upper hand in the confrontation.

And having learned from the lesson taught by Whitebeard last time, Borsaleno paid close attention to the positions of each top fighter this time, and never gave the opponent a chance to attack him.

So, to sum up in one sentence, after the war, the clothes are slightly dirty and the breathing is slightly off.

"Okay, I understand. I will report back to Zhan Guo."

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded, showing no anger or dissatisfaction at Borsaleno's seemingly inappropriate answer.

Now, any reaction can be regarded as an answer. The fact that Borsalino could talk about salary increase in a joking tone proved that he did not have much psychological fluctuations after the war.

"What about you, Carsonte?"

Then, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Carsent.

Compared to Borsalino, after the war, Carsente had put on a brand new battle suit, his skin was crystal smooth without a trace of scar.

It was becoming more and more terrifying. His defense was able to easily withstand top-level combat power, and his terrifying recovery ability meant that after the battle, there was no scar on Carsent's body.

Apart from the trace of fatigue that flashed from time to time in his eyes, Carsent's condition did not look like the scene after a big battle.

"Vice Admiral Tsuru, I'm fine. The battle ended with the Navy's victory. But I feel like the Navy didn't gain much benefit either."

Carsen thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

In his post-war thinking, one thing that puzzled Carson was how the Navy would convert the victory of this war into profits.

The entire New World, G1 was reduced to ruins in the war, and the remaining branches had already been destroyed by several legendary pirates.

After this battle, the victorious navy's infrastructure in the New World was almost completely destroyed, and it was extremely difficult to establish a new naval branch under the noses of the great pirates of the New World.

At the very least, just in the name of this victory, those big pirates will not agree to plant a nail on the navy's doorstep.

"Carsente, this time, it was the pirates who started this war. We were able to defend the G1 branch, which is a strategic victory."

"In the worst case scenario, if we can't even save Fishman Island, the navy will retreat completely back to Paradise. Facing this worst case scenario, the current result is no less than a victory from a strategic point of view."

Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke in response.

After all, as the passive party, it is already a very good achievement for the navy to be able to minimize its losses as much as possible while keeping the navy's overall strategy in the New World from collapsing.

As for the counterattack, the pirates of the New World retreated decisively because they saw that the situation had become tense and there was no way out, but they did not really fail.

Although the lower-level pirates suffered heavy losses, the senior members of several pirate groups did not suffer many casualties. If the navy rashly pursued them at this time and attempted to expand the results of the victory, it might suffer an even more tragic defeat.
