Chapter 279: The Navy’s strategy succeeded, but it also seemed to fail…
Three days later, people all over the world are still talking about the war that happened three days ago.
In this war, the navy successfully avenged its past and saved Whitebeard's life in Marinford.
This was a very exciting event for the navy. Although Whitebeard was much weaker in his old age, he was still known as the strongest man in the world.
Killing Whitebeard would at least make their navy's position on the sea less embarrassing.
However, the jailbreak in the underwater prison greatly reduced the navy's victory. Those people brought out by Blackbeard were all big shots imprisoned on the sixth floor!
Now, for some unknown reason, they all surrendered to Blackbeard.
Once this incident was publicized by the newspapers in Morgans, the navy's recent reputation gained from the victory in the Battle of Marineford was lost.
Marine Headquarters Marinevando.
The current Marinford is not as badly damaged as the original one, and can still be used after some repairs.
In the temporary office of the Navy Marshal, Zhan Guo was dealing with the riot in the underwater prison.
"How is Magellan now?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"Marshal Sengoku, Director Magellan is no longer in danger of death, but he has been saying that he wants to resign~~~" Brannu replied immediately.
"Tell Magellan that I will not agree to his resignation. He must be the one guarding the underwater prison!" Zhan Guo said seriously.
"Yes!"
"Marshal Zhan Guo, I will convey the order to Director Magellan right away!" After saying this, Branniu immediately made a phone call.
In this war, Sengoku took everything into consideration, but he never expected that Blackbeard joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea just for the sake of those big shots in the sixth floor of the Undersea Prison.
It was precisely because of Blackbeard’s rebellion that their navy’s victory this time was greatly reduced.
This makes the Zhan Guo people very upset. Their naval strategy seems to be successful this time, but it also seems to be unsuccessful.
Although some reputation was restored, it was really not much.
"Damn Blackbeard!" Marshal Sengoku gritted his teeth when he thought of Blackbeard's concealment.
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
"Sengoku, arrangements have been made for the injured marines and they have received proper treatment. However, what are you going to do about Blackbeard?" Vice Admiral Tsuru came to the marshal's office and asked Sengoku.
The only consequence of this incident that the Navy needs to deal with is the people Blackbeard brought out of the underwater prison.
It was because of this incident that Morgans reported the incompetence of the navy in public opinion. If there had been no Blackbeard incident, Morgans would not have said so.
After all, Morgans has professional ethics and he only reports real news.
"Does anyone know the whereabouts of Blackbeard and his men now?" asked Zhan Guo with a frown.
"They have entered the New World now and seem to be preparing to seize the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates." Vice Admiral Tsuru answered and expressed his own judgment.
"What is the reaction of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates?" Sengoku continued to ask.
"Right now, almost all the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates are in Whitebeard's hometown, Sphinx Island. They have just held a funeral for Whitebeard." Vice Admiral Tsuru shared the information he had learned.
“In this case, we don’t have to worry about the Blackbeard Pirates for now. Although Whitebeard is dead, his captains are still here, and they will not let Blackbeard go.
Just let them dog eat dog.
Also, we need to send some people from this division to the New World, at least to take back the islands that the Navy took seven years ago!
This is an opportunity for our navy!" Zhan Guo immediately made arrangements.
"Okay, I understand. This is indeed the best way to deal with it at the moment. I will arrange it.
But, Zhan Guo, do you really want to resign from the Air Force Commander-in-Chief?
I don't think he will agree. The navy is already weak on the sea, and he won't let you, the admiral, leave." Vice Admiral He said seriously.
"Someone must bear the responsibility for the underwater prison incident. This time the responsibility does not lie with Magellan, as his abilities are very important to the underwater prison.
I can't let anything happen to Magellan, so I have to bear the responsibility this time.
Besides, now is a good time for Kuzan to take office. Now that I have retired, Kuzan is the most suitable person to be the Navy Admiral.
In this case, there won't be much resistance from the World Government." Zhan Guo expressed his thoughts.
Vice Admiral Tsuru understood what Sengoku was doing now. The old guys had started preparing for Aokiji to be the successor a long time ago.
The current situation is indeed the same as what Sengoku said. Now is a good time for Aokiji to take over as marshal.
Vice Admiral Tsuru took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand. Then I will go and arrange for the personnel to enter the new world."
She knew that Sengoku's decision was well considered, and Aokiji was a capable person, so she believed he was qualified for the position.
After saying that, Lieutenant General He turned and left the Marshal's office.
Her steps seemed a little heavy, her heart full of worries about the future, but at the same time she understood that this was a necessary choice.
She will do her best to support Aokiji and ensure the stability and development of the navy.
After Vice Admiral Tsuru left, Zhan Guo looked out the window with deep eyes, his thoughts slowly spreading. He recalled every bit of the past, those old guys who had fought side by side with him, and the difficulties and challenges they had faced.
He was filled with emotion, thinking that time passed so quickly and in the blink of an eye it was time to hand over his shift.
But he has no regrets, because he knows that only by continuous inheritance and development can the navy remain strong.
In just a flash, his eyes became firm again. He knew very well that as a marshal, he must be decisive and resolute and not be swayed by emotions.
He believed that Aokiji could shoulder this responsibility and lead the navy to a better future.
He himself will continue to pay attention to the world situation and provide more wisdom and guidance to the navy.
After finishing the current affairs, he should go to the Air Force Commander to report the decision and ask for his support and approval.
Although Marshal Kong may have a different opinion, Zhan Guo firmly believes that his decision is correct and he is willing to pay any price for it.
After all, the interests of the navy are always the most important.
Under the arrangement of Vice Admiral Tsuru, Aokiji and Aramaki each led a fleet to the New World immediately.
They want to take back the island that was occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates.
Due to the death of Whitebeard, the balance of the New World was broken, and several sea emperors began to seize the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In response to this, the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates could only shrink their defenses.
They are gathering their forces and preparing to seek revenge on Blackbeard. This is their obsession deep in their hearts.
At this point, the New World once again entered an era of war.
