Chapter 402 The young generals who command the troops! (2-in-1)
Meteor showers fell across the world, and the horrific "natural disaster" made the red clouds in the distant sky look like blood.
Looking at the vision in the distance, Katakuri did not associate it with the so-called "meteor shower". He told him that the cause of that scene should be man-made.
The other people in the Charlotte family around him looked at Katakuri after hearing Katakuri's judgment. Charlotte Daifuku also looked suspicious after hearing what he said, and asked in confusion:
"How could it be an enemy attack?"
"Where in this world is there"
When Charlotte Daifuku was talking, she noticed that her brother was looking at her seriously. Seeing Katakuri's expression, Daifuku suddenly thought of something. After a pause, he blurted out:
"It's one of Enichi's subordinates! The one with the Gravity Fruit!"
After hearing Dafu's speculation, people in the Charlotte family immediately started talking. Ji Kuni Enichi and his new navy once left an indelible impression on them.
The Cake Island where they gathered at this time even had traces left after the battle between Kunoyuan Yi and Big Mom. Originally, the Cake Island was a circular island, but at this time, there were several lines of several meters in the center of the Cake Island. A wide ground crack started from the center of Cake Island and spread to the end of the island.
No one would doubt the ability of Enichi Jiguo and his subordinates. If the new navy really attacks Wanguo, with the ability of Yixiao Gravity Fruit, it can indeed trigger that "meteor shower".
"The right-hand man of Enichi Kuni, the smile of the new navy?"
After a brief hesitation, Katakuri didn't think any more and hurriedly walked to Big Mom's side and suggested hurriedly:
"Mama, let me take someone over to check it out for myself."
"Let all combatants from all countries be on alert. If it is an ordinary natural disaster, I will arrange for disaster relief and report to you at the same time."
"But if the enemy invades"
At this moment, the Charlotte family gathering suddenly heard calls from phone bugs one after another. Charlotte Dafu was one of the people who received the call.
He hurriedly took out the phone bug from his arms, and before Dafu could speak, he heard a panicked report coming from the phone bug:
"Minister Dou, the navy, the navy is coming to all countries!!"
"General Akainu is a general."
"ah--"
Before he finished speaking, a scream came from the phone's receiver, and at the same time there was a loud roar.
After more than ten seconds, there was a rumble from the horizon, which sounded like ground rumble and thunder.
"Navy, navy attacks our nations!"
"Hundreds of warships, hundreds of warships!"
"General Qing Pheasant personally leads the attack!"
At this time, not only did Charlotte Dafu, the bean minister, receive rewards from his subordinates, but the leaders of the islands on the outermost edge of Cake Island also received reports of attacks from their subordinates.
These islands are all on the same side, and the naval forces are concentrated in one place.
Ten Thousand Kingdoms - Doshima.
The burning lava boulders broke through the clouds one after another and fell towards Doshima below. The lava boulders crashed into the harbor, directly destroying dozens of pirate ships docked at the harbor; they crashed into the town on Doshima Island in the distance, and fires instantly ignited in the city.
On the sea several hundred meters south of Doshima, eight giant warships, leading hundreds of small and medium-sized warships, were slowly surrounding Doshima. The naval guns on the warships also fired shells at Doshima as the lava boulders fell towards Doshima.
This is the naval force led by Admiral Akainu. They have no intention of going to the island at all. To deal with countries like Wanguo that are not recognized by the world government, Akainu adopts the simplest and crudest method of crusade, directly "slaying demons" The "Specifications" of the Order carried out a devastating blow to Doshima.
As for going to the island to identify ordinary people and members of the Big Mom Pirates and carry out "precision strikes" against the pirates?
Stop it.
Doing this will waste a lot of time, and if it develops into street fighting, there is no telling how many navies will get stuck in the quagmire of street fighting.
How can the lives of non-member country nationals be compared with the lives of Akainu’s subordinates?
Isn’t it much easier to fight this battle now?
First destroy the opponent's harbor and docked ships, leaving the pirates without any means of countermeasures or possibility of escape. Next, the navy only needs to use saturation attacks with artillery. In a few minutes, the bean in front of them will be destroyed. The island would be razed to the ground under naval gunfire.
As for the ordinary people living on Doshima?
What is the difference between people from non-franchised countries and slaves?
The lives of those people have long been firmly bound to the people of the Big Mom Pirates. In this case, let's turn into ashes together with the pirates! ! !
All Nations—Coco Island.
After the navy's fleet approached Coco Island, it immediately carried out a devastating blow to the ships docked in the port.
The sound of cannon fire cut through the silent night sky, and the sky-high flames on the harbor suddenly illuminated half of the sky.
After the ships docked at Coco Island Harbor were destroyed, a dozen small and medium-sized warships in the huge naval fleet rushed to squeeze into the small harbor. After the ships stopped, there were countless navy ships on board. They swarmed ashore with their spears in hand and took control of the port dock in an instant.
On the sea nearly a thousand meters away from Coco Island, General Qingzhi was lying on the side of the ship, holding the contact phone number in one hand, waiting for the report from the frontline troops:
"Report, we have successfully landed on the island without encountering any resistance."
"The troops have been assembled on the shore and can move towards the depths of the island at any time."
Brigadier General Longzi, who was responsible for bringing people to the island under Aokiji, sent back the message. After hearing the news that his subordinates had successfully landed on the island, Kuzan also said calmly:
"Lonzi, issue a curfew order. People on the island are not allowed to stay on the streets. Once discovered, they will be arrested immediately."
"I will leave you two thousand people to control the island and port and maintain law and order on the island."
"If pirates are found, they will be executed on the spot."
The naval force that led the attack on Coco Island was led by Admiral Aokiji. Although there were only seven giant ships, one less than Akainu's, there were also more than a hundred small and medium-sized ships. There are dozens more ships than Akainu.
Aokiji's fighting style is completely different from Akainu's. He plans to attack one island at a time, slowly and steadily.
Wanguo's land and sea area are quite large. If it travels at the speed of an ordinary sailboat, it will take at least two days to travel from the south of Wanguo to the north of Wanguo.
Aokiji doesn't have the idea of wiping out the Big Mom Pirates in one go. This war may not end overnight, so Aokiji plans to establish a few naval bases in all countries.
And unlike Akainu, the people do not distinguish between joining countries and non-joining countries in his eyes. He wants to control the impact of the war as much as possible and not affect the lives of ordinary people as much as possible.
"yes!"
After receiving the order from Aokiji, Brigadier General Lonzi left some people behind to set up a temporary camp on the coast. He led hundreds of marines into the city to investigate, and also asked his subordinates to spread the curfew order along the way.
News of the navy's arrival on the island quickly spread throughout Coco Island. There were many pirates under the Big Mom Pirates stationed on the island, although many pirates who stayed on the ship were directly killed by the navy. The artillery was submerged, but there were still many pirates who did not stay on their ships, but were having fun in the town.
After hearing the news that the navy came to the island, these pirates spontaneously gathered together and fought with the navy who came to the island.
Although the number of pirates is not as high as that of the navy, the individual strength of the pirates who can become the subordinates of the Big Mom Pirates is also quite outstanding. The navy led by Commodore Lonzi soon fell into a bitter battle in the city.
At this time, Aokiji left a navy team on Coco Island and was preparing to lead a large force to bypass Coco Island and move towards the next island. When he received news from Longzi's department that Longzi was leading hundreds of The navy entered the city and was attacked by pirates.
Faced with this situation, Aoki couldn't help but frowned, and planned to send one of his lieutenant generals, along with hundreds of others, to assist Brigadier General Longzi in suppressing the pirates on the island.
"Inform Lieutenant General Jadoun and ask him to lead the navy of the G-3 branch to rescue Commodore Longzi and replace him."
Just when Kuzan was giving his orders to the herald, Vice Admiral He of the Navy Headquarters slowly walked to Kuzan's side, put his hands on the fence, looked at the slightly noisy Coco Island in the distance, and said;
"Kuzan, it's not a good habit to change things overnight."
"This is the first battle of your front, so you must make a good start."
"It is necessary to support Lonzi, but only reinforcements below the level of brigadier general can be sent. Lieutenant generals, not even major generals, or brigadier generals cannot be sent."
Crane's voice reached Kuzan's ears. Kuzan paused after hearing the words, turned around, looked at the gray-haired Lieutenant General He beside him, and frowned in confusion.
Next to He was a young female sailor, Tina, who had just graduated from the naval academy. The adjutant Momo who had always been by He's side was now able to take charge of her subordinates instead of He. Women's Corps.
In this war against the Big Mom Pirates, Sengoku intends to let the three young generals dominate the battle and establish the prestige of young people in the navy.
But for such an important battle for the Navy, how can it be done if there are really no older and more experienced veterans on the front line to lead the young people?
For this reason, the Warring States Period allowed He to join Kuzan's command as a lieutenant general's staff officer and accompany the army in the attack.
Letting He enter Kuzan's service actually had Sengoku's selfish motives in it.
It is true that each of the three generals of the Navy is a top powerhouse and the mainstay of the Navy's future.
However, in Sengoku's view, Akainu's character is too extreme. If he takes charge of the navy in the future, it may not be a good thing for the navy. Porusalino, on the other hand, has an easy-going and lazy temperament. He is the kind of character who works like a monk every day and is not suitable for commanding the navy.
A comparison between the two co-authors showed that the youngest Kuzan was the one that Seng Guo liked very much.
Kuzan is a strong person, and he is also a kind person deep down. While he abides by the rules of the army, he is not as strict as Akainu. At the same time, Kuzan was trained by Zefa and Garp. He has a clean foundation and has a good relationship with Jiguo Enichi.
From the perspective of the Warring States Period, if the navy is led by Kuzan in the future, it will definitely be able to continue its own philosophy of military management and lead the navy to become stronger.
Letting He come to help Kuzan is also to let Kuzan perform better in this war and suppress extreme hawks like Akainu.
Although Kuzan didn't know what Sengoku's innermost plans were, he respected He, the naval think tank. At this time, Kuzan also fell silent after hearing He's words. After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't figure out the point, so he asked humbly. road:
"Lieutenant General He, there is more resistance than expected on Coco Island."
"Judging from the situation reported by his subordinates, it is obviously not easy for Brigadier General Lonzi to deal with it."
"Tonight we will attack Wanguo. Our department's established plan is to capture the six outer islands. If Akainu's operations go smoothly, we will be able to capture 12 islands tonight and completely control one-third of Wanguo's shipping routes."
"The task is very heavy and the time is very tight. The battle situation for Lonzi is not going well. Isn't it reasonable to ask someone to take over for him and speed things up?"
"Pirates in the new world are different from other places. If Longz really encounters a strong enemy and there are no higher-level generals in charge, the battle will develop in a direction beyond our expectations!"
Kuzan expressed his doubts, and Tina, who was behind He, nodded in agreement after hearing Kuzan's words.
In her opinion, General Qing Pheasant's decision was very accurate. It was necessary to cut through the mess quickly and speed up the attack!
Hearing Kuzan's words, Heye nodded slightly with a kind expression, smiled and said:
"If the person leading the troops today is Sengoku, Garp, or me, there will be no problem with this decision."
"But the man leading the troops is one of your young generals who has never experienced a major war."
"Besides, you missed an important point."
"Who do you think your subordinates are?"
He made a digression at this time, and her words also made Kuzan look slightly startled:
"Who are they? They are all marines, aren't they?"
Hearing Kuzan's answer, He smiled, as if he thought Kuzan was too naive: "Your subordinates are elites recruited from the headquarters and the four seas."
"The lieutenant generals, major generals, brigadiers, and even the school officers at all levels are all elite!"
"These people include young officers who have just stepped into leadership positions, as well as veteran generals who have been in the navy for decades."
"Do you think it is easy for you, a 34-year-old young general, to lead these people?"
"From the moment the war begins, all your decisions will be looked at with a magnifying glass."
"Allowing Lieutenant General Jadoun to replace Brigadier General Lunds may seem to you to be just a small adjustment."
"But in the eyes of those people, this is a misjudgment of the opponent's strength caused by your lack of ability. Even if you make adjustments in time, your 'misjudgment' will be engraved in their minds."
"Changing generals will amplify this matter."
"But reinforcements are different. Your reinforcements are not to make up for mistakes, but just to strengthen the control of Coco Island."
"Brigadier General Lunds is an excellent young man. He also needs some experience to grow. If he is suddenly replaced, his prestige will also be hit."
"In this battle, the Navy wants to establish its prestige, and you also need to establish your prestige."
"Although Sakaski's approach is absolutely extreme, he may have left a deep impression on his subordinates now! His troops will be united by him."
"I'm not saying this because I want you to follow his lead."
"I hope you know that commanding an army of this size is not an easy task."
"You have to know how to control the hearts of these people!"
Kuzan listened to He's words quietly, thinking while listening. After pondering for a long time, Kuzan nodded and acknowledged He's words.
Then he shouted to the herald:
"Assign the 73rd branch led by Colonel Vergo to Brigadier General Lonzi's troops, let Colonel Vergo lead people to the island, and obey Brigadier General Lonzi's dispatch!"
Vergo, a newcomer who has emerged in the navy in recent years, has outstanding talent. Although he is from the West Sea, he has a good style and quite good strength. He is a newcomer that the department focuses on training.
It's just right to let someone with a position like Vergo help Brigadier General Lunds!
Although Kuzan is young, he also has his advantages. Even before the war, he had memorized the basic conditions of his officers at all levels.
While rejecting the supporting troops, the large fleet led by Kuzan also took advantage of the darkness to move deeper into Wan Guo.
Far sea.
The cold moonlight fell on the sea, and a slender warship floated on the sea, gently undulating under the waves.
On the deck, Ji Guoyuan held a telescope in both hands and observed the battle situation in the direction of Wan Guo.
When he noticed that the troops led by Akainu were carrying out a sweeping attack on the island, his expression couldn't help but change, and his hand holding the telescope couldn't help but tighten.
"This guy Sakaski"
