The strength of about 7,000 troops, although it was not his ultimate goal, but before entering the great route, it could be regarded as meeting the standard in his mind. small
It's just that this is only a quantitative standard, and in terms of quality, he has no upper limit. say
If he could, he naturally hoped that the quality of the troops under his command would be as high as possible. group
Therefore, even if we do not continue to expand in quantity, we still need to sharpen the quality of our troops through battles and so on.
Then there is the preparation for the journey to the Great Fairway.
The danger of the Great Waterway is not only for people, but also for the harsh environment that far exceeds the four seas.
Storms, disease, food, and so on can be devastating.
It can be said that if you want to sail safely on the great waterway, you need not only excellent combatants, but also excellent logistical support.
This logistics is not only about the materials, but also about the personnel.
Navigators, doctors, cooks, boatmen.
These four types of personnel are known as the four basic elements of maritime navigation.
These four elements are naturally not lacking in the War Pirates.
It's just that there's just no shortage of it.
Talent is rare, and logistics talent is even rarer than combatants.
Bing Ge is preparing to strengthen the four elements before heading to the Great Passage, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In fact, the purpose of his trip to Hongyan Island was in this regard..... At least partly for the purpose.
The Happy Street on Hongyan Island is the largest in the West Sea, and places like Happy Street are one of the places where information circulates the most.
Don't look at him for a quick victory, he left after playing, but he is the boss, how can he need to do it in person to collect intelligence.
Before setting off with the younger brothers, he had actually ordered the younger brothers to go down and let the younger brothers find out the information while playing.
The younger brothers obviously lived up to his expectations, and they found out a lot of important information.
This is where the next destination of the War Pirates comes from.
.....
.....
Marin Fodo.
This is the famous naval headquarters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information gathered so far, the patrol team led by Vice Admiral Henry of the West Sea discovered the War Pirates on Hongyan Island, and pursued the War Pirates out to sea on the second day, and it was also on this day that Vice Admiral Henry's life paper burned out, and the entire patrol team disappeared.
Now, a week has passed, and according to the latest information, during the latest replenishment of the War Pirates, a local intelligence officer found many members of the patrol team on the opposing ship.
To sum up, according to the analysis of the General Staff, the War Pirates not only killed Vice Admiral Henry, but also made most of the members of the West Sea Patrol Team betray justice and switch to the side of the pirates! "
In the solemn conference room, the reigning generals of Marin Fodo gathered here, while one of the members of the staff with the rank of major general was standing in front of his seat and reporting the report in his hand loudly.
Boom!
When the staff members finished their debriefing, the conference table shook, and a scarred admiral was seen slamming his fist on the conference table in front of him with an angry face.
"What are you kidding, how could Lieutenant General Henry be defeated by a mere pirate group from the West Sea, there must be something wrong with this!"
The admiral, Dauberman, one of the vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, glared at the reporting staff members as he hammered the conference table.
When the other admirals saw this scene, many of them also had gloomy faces.
Not against Dauberman, though, but because of Henry's death.
Henry is a veteran of the same era as Sengoku and others, although his position and strength cannot be compared with Sengoku and others, but in his many years of naval career, he undoubtedly has a huge network of contacts.
For example, many of the admirals here at this time used to work under Henry.
Like the direct gaffe, Dauberman served as Henry's lieutenant when he was young.
"Calm down, our staff has investigated this matter closely, and there is no problem with it, but it is just like the content of the report."
Tsuru, who was holding his chin with his hands, looked at the gaffe Dauberman, and the members of the staff who were flustered by questioning, and couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.
Although Crane is a lieutenant general in the headquarters, he is also a senior staff officer, and his qualifications are extremely high, so under her mouth, even the gaffe Dauberman has to suppress his anger.
"Vice Admiral Crane, Vice Admiral Henry has dedicated decades to the Navy, and his sacrifice must be taken seriously."
"That's right, I've also heard a little about this war pirate group, it is said that the other party was originally a gang in the West Sea, but after becoming a pirate group, it has developed extremely fast, it has grown to thousands of people in a short period of time, and has caused chaos in many places, if such a pirate force is not eradicated as soon as possible, it will inevitably cause greater losses."
"Those who have betrayed justice must also be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the impact will be too bad and will affect and damage the prestige of our navy."
"Your Excellency Marshal, I would like to take the initiative to ask Ying to personally lead the team to the West Sea to defeat this war pirate group!"
"..."
Although the other generals who had a friendship with Henry were not as gaffe as Dauberman, they also expressed their attitude after Crane spoke.
Between the words, it is obvious that they all want to avenge Henry.
Even Dauberman joined in and directly asked the Warring States sitting on the main throne to personally lead the team to the West Sea.
Warring States looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, I am also very heartbroken about the sacrifice of Lieutenant General Henry, this is also the purpose of this meeting, this war pirate group is bound to be eliminated as soon as possible." "
As a comrade-in-arms of the same era, it is obvious that Sengoku also has a friendship with Henry, and at the same time is extremely concerned about Henry's death.
"Prior to the crusade, a new bounty on the members of the War Pirates had been drafted.
The captain of the ship, the Golden Swordman, was raised from 79 million Berry to 150 million Berry.
Its cadre 'Wild Beast' Brute Bones was raised from 35 million Berry to 65 million Berry.
Its cadre Robin, the "Flower Witch", was raised from 35 million Berry to 55 million Berry.
In addition, the former captain of the Storm Bear Pirates, "Storm Bear" Sandy, joined the War Pirates after the defeat of Red Face Island, and his bounty was increased from 780,000 Berry to 85 million Berry.
Above, regarding the new proposed bounty of the War Pirates, I don't know if anyone has a different opinion. "
After the Sengoku finished speaking, Tsuru immediately followed along.
