The large conference room of Malinvan.
This is the second time this year that this large conference room has been used. The door that had not been opened for many years was opened twice in just one month.
This time Warring States did not arrive last, he was the first.
Sitting in his chair, looking at the tables and chairs in full view below, Warring States sighed leisurely.
Benedict!
The door was pushed open, and a silver-haired crane walked in. She saw the somewhat desolate Warring States Period.
Following Crane was Garp.
Today, Garp's mood was full of ups and downs.
My grandson is about to be publicly executed. There is no way to save him!
The grandson came to save another grandson, but he couldn't!
The grandson was rescued, but he was blocked and could not be saved!
The grandson escaped, and the Warring States Period was in disgrace. Save... ahem, there's nothing we can do!
So after seeing the lonely Warring States Period, Garp shrank his head in a rare move and did not speak loudly.
"Xiaohe, Garp, you are here."
Warring States turned his head, saw He and Garp, smiled reluctantly, and then pointed to the seats below for them to sit on first.
This time, there were no ordinary lieutenant generals or people below major generals participating in this meeting. They were all elite lieutenant generals and general candidates, plus a high-level official from the world government.
About an hour later, everyone arrived.
The current three generals, sixteen elite lieutenant generals, the lieutenant general's smile, Moen.
The two general candidates have arrived.
If anyone can avoid the public eye and make a fatal attack at this moment, I am afraid that the navy will completely collapse.
"Ahem."
Watching everyone take their seats, Warring States coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention to him.
Behind him stood a senior official of the World Government wearing a white uniform.
Of course, it's not CP0.
The conflict between Morn and CP0 is well known to everyone. Even the five old stars who trust Morn very much are afraid that if CP0 is sent out, something unexpected will happen and he will not be able to return.
"Everyone, before the meeting begins, please allow me to do one thing."
Warring States stood up, looking at everyone with calm eyes.
In the weird eyes of the three generals, in the unbearable eyes of He and Garp, and in the surprised eyes of many lieutenant generals, Warring States took off his hat and shoulder title.
"I will officially resign as Admiral of the Navy."
"Marshal!"
"No!"
"Why!"
·······
The navy was stunned, and then immediately retorted.
Warring States smiled bitterly and shook his head. After sitting down slowly, he found that his shoulders were actually much lighter.
"No need to dissuade me. I have been preparing for this battle for so long, but it still ended like this. I made so many concessions, and in the end, even two of the King's Qibuhai died. If it weren't for Mo Mo on the other side of the city, En asked his men to guard it, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. As an organization under the navy, I, the marshal, must shoulder the responsibility."
Everyone was silent.
Indeed, someone must take the blame this time. The war was won, but it was a humiliating victory.
The government personnel in white uniforms seemed to want to say something, but after opening their mouths, no sound came out.
"Are you so anxious?"
When everyone was silent, Moen suddenly chuckled, and there was no surprise in his tone.
"Is it because of that Lord?"
Warring States nodded, "There may be some reasons for this, but more importantly, I am getting old, and this era needs young people to lead the era. I'd better learn Zefa to make my old age a little easier. "
Warring States said that he was old.
He is much younger than Kong. Kong can still serve as commander-in-chief for at least ten years, but Sengoku says he is old.
Whitebeard's last sentence was really a satire on the navy. The real existence of the big secret treasure shows that the navy has no ability to control the sea.
Faced with the coming new era, the Warring States Period decided to abdicate to give young people a better chance to face the new era!
None of the three generals spoke. This was not the time to be impulsive.
Kizaru's eyes rolled under his sunglasses, and then he slumped on the chair indifferently.
It was impossible for him to touch the position of marshal.
"So, Marshal Warring States, do you have any recommendations for the next Navy Marshal?"
At this time, the high-ranking government official standing behind the Warring States Period spoke up. In his hand was a phone bug that had already been connected.
On the other end are the five old stars and the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong!
Warring States didn't look back and looked directly at Qing Pheasant.
"I recommend Aokiji to take over my position and become the next marshal of the navy!"
In the conference room, the dove-style lieutenant generals who belonged to the same faction as Aokiji all had rosy complexions. In contrast to them were the hawks under Akainu.
"Warring States Period."
Sora's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he seemed a little tired.
"The World Government is more optimistic about Sakaski."
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate polar reversal in the conference room.
When it comes to the marshal's decision, the opinions of the Warring States Period are obviously not as important as those of the World Government. The World Government clearly supports Sakaski, so Sakaski has a higher chance of becoming the marshal in the end.
Qingzhi's face had turned cold. He didn't quite understand why Warring States had to discuss this matter openly.
Aren't you afraid that he and Sakaski will fight?
The Warring States Period also didn't expect that the World Government would be so direct.
"Sakaski." Warring States looked at Sakaski with a cold face in front of him, as if everyone owed him millions of Baileys, and felt a little pain in his head.
However, because this was an open discussion meeting and not a one-word decision by the marshal, he was still prepared to express his concerns to avoid regrets later.
"Indeed, all of Sakaski's abilities meet the standards of a marshal. But Brother Kong, you have to know that Sakaski's character is too extreme. He may have the upper hand in the fight with the pirates for a while, but in the long run, ········"
Warring States did not continue to speak, because Sakaski's face was already gloomy and ugly.
Sora on the other side of the phone was also stunned. He knew very well what kind of person Sakaski was. It's just that the World Government liked Sakaski more than Aoki Pheasant, who liked to bite people. dog!
"We will consider it carefully."
A voice different from Kong came from the other end of the phone. It was Wulao Xing.
Moen, who had had many contacts with the Five Old Stars, easily recognized the voice of the bearded Five Old Stars, and he always looked so unhurried.
"The situation on the sea is different now. One of the four emperors has been eliminated, and the revolutionary army has also appeared in a high-profile manner. It is necessary to have an iron-blooded marshal to open up the situation on the sea. I hope you can understand, Warring States."
The voice changed again, this time it was the sword-wielding Five Old Stars.
Warring States' expression changed several times, but he did not answer the words of this five-old star.
Indeed, if Qingzhi becomes the marshal, he may not be able to quickly establish a situation on the sea.
"But I still reserve my opinion. I still support Admiral Aokiji to be my successor and the next marshal of the navy."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and the speaker changed again.
This time, it's the bearded Five Old Stars.
"Vice Admiral Morn should be in the conference room as well. Let me ask you, who do you think is more suitable to be the next marshal of the navy?"
