chapter 140

But after Kong finished speaking, he was stunned again.

Only seeing the "charter" from the Admiral of the Navy, all the high-ranking naval officers present stepped forward one by one.

They took turns taking a cigar from the coffee table and lit it in a circle.

The entire ward was suddenly filled with smoke, and one after another silhouette was swirling.

Kong's eyes spit fire.

These useless guys! !

"Kong, come with one?"

At this time, Sengoku gave him - also handed one over.

Kong move, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly, and took it.

The rich tobacco smell entered the mouth, soothing the nerves, and Kong felt that his mood was much better.

He glanced at Adam Rice, who was lying on the bed smiling, and snorted coldly:

"Adam Rice, on this expedition to the new world, you have made a great contribution. You have not humiliated our reputation for justice, nor have you let down the trust of the old man and the headquarters in you."

Adam Rice smiled and said:

"All glory to justice."

It's such an unflattering response again, this guy's political clichés really don't even blink his eyes.

Kong cursed inwardly.

He was about to continue speaking, but Adam took the initiative to take the next sentence.

"I don't know how the headquarters is going to reward me this time?"

As soon as these words came out, Kong was stunned.

This stinky boy is too shameless! ?

Others also looked at Adam Rice with a dull expression on their face, trying to keep calm on the surface, but in their hearts they couldn't help giving him a thumbs up.

Sure enough, young people are motivated and fierce enough!

This is the first time in the history of the Navy that I want to reward it directly.

Kong was also speechless. He didn't know how to continue. He couldn't even say what he wanted to ask Adam Rice about the equipment of the North Sea Army.

"Marshal Kong, I clearly remember that you once told me before the expedition..."

"If I can solve the problem of sailing freely in and out of the Calm belt and into the new world for the navy headquarters, you promised to give me at least the rank of a Rear Admiral."

Adam Rice took a light sip of the iced whiskey.

The cool spirits turned into a spicy alternating hot and cold, which stimulated his nerves and made his eyes sharper.

"And now, I've done it."

"Not only did I solve such technical problems, I even led the Navy headquarters, defeated the Roger Pirates, wiped out the Flying Sky Pirates, and even the Golden Lion died in my hands... "

"My mission has been completed, is it time to honor your promise?"

Adam Rice said with a half-smile, but his tone was a bit aggressive.

Having lived in this sea for so many years, he has experienced countless open and secret battles and intrigues, and he is very clear about one truth.

power,

fame and fortune,

money,

Everything,

You have to fight for yourself.

Instead of relying on and waiting for the support of others, and passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative.

Kong took a deep look at Adam Rice and suddenly said:

"what do you want?"

Adam Rice laughed:

"I will naturally follow the arrangements of the headquarters."

Kong was silent for a while, and then he said something that shocked everyone present.

"Your appointment letter will be officially issued in ten days."

"Don't worry, the headquarters will hold a celebration meeting at that time, and the naval members who have performed well in this new world expedition mission will be commended."

"Congratulations, Vice Admiral Adam Rice."

Vice Admiral! ?

Vice Admiral! ?

Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters! ?

Hearing Kong last sentence, everyone present was horrified.

The Vice Admiral of the headquarters...that is the mainstay of the naval headquarters, representing the top combat power in the naval system, and also the real power figure of the headquarters!

･･････････････････････････････････････

Adam Rice, how long has it been since I came to the headquarters from the North Sea?

a month?

He was promoted from the rank of Colonel of Headquarters to Vice Admiral of the Headquarters in one fell swoop?

This kind of promotion speed, not to mention that there are no newcomers, but it is definitely unprecedented!

It's like riding a rocket!

Kuzan, who was sitting on the hospital bed next to him, shivered even more. The cigarette butt of the cigar almost burned a hole in the crotch of the hospital gown, and he almost choked.

The look in his eyes at Adam Rice was filled with resentment.

This guy,

It took me a month to complete my military career for several years!

......

He's still just a Rear Admiral! !

Damn Mr. Garp!

If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't follow him as his deputy.

Day in and day out, chasing Roger all over the sea,

Even if there is no military exploits, there is still nothing to do, and Roger breaks his leg and lies in the hospital...

Kuzan glanced at Garp, who was squatting in the corner while eating Donut, drinking and smoking, enjoying the expression on his face and doing nothing. He couldn't vomit out the old blood in his heart.

What a sin!

Not just Kuzan,

Many people present,

Except for Karp, who has no interest in military rank and position at all,

The eyes looking at Adam Rice are extremely complicated.

In those eyes,

There is helplessness, there is envy, there is jealousy, and there is sigh...

But they are also very clear in their hearts,

If it weren't for Adam Rice,

The Navy Headquarters had nothing to do with the Edd war that shocked the world.

Not to mention that Adam Rice finally killed the golden lion,

Except for the navy and the government a big scourge.

And most importantly,

The navy always speaks with strength.

The powerful combat power shown by Adam Rice,

What Vice Admiral,

His strength is more than enough .
