MM Racing Chapter 73 Military Strategy in the Warring States Period
Chapter 73 Military Strategy in the Warring States Period
a long time.
The anger of the Warring States period had subsided considerably, but the most distressing scene was about to unfold.
Another meeting at the Marine Headquarters is about to begin, and not only is Kizaru unhappy about it, but he actually doesn't want to attend either.
It's only been a few days! There have already been two meetings, and today makes it three. (Haha, I don't know why I suddenly want to laugh as I write this. (⌒▽⌒))
"Damn it." Thinking of this, Sengoku felt even more annoyed.
"Sigh." Sengoku sighed, but the meeting still had to be held eventually.
Sengoku skillfully instructed his messengers to notify the various naval high command.
In the conference room, Zhan Guo glanced around and saw that everyone looked unhappy. He felt helpless as well.
"Wow, this is terrible! What on earth happened to Fleet Admiral Sengoku? We've already had several meetings already!" Kizaru pouted, looking very unhappy.
Kizaru's words drew the attention of the other generals to Sengoku, as Kizaru's words reflected their own thoughts.
"Hey, you can check it yourselves!" Sengoku handed the newspaper to Garp and told them to take turns reading it.
Karp took the newspaper, glanced at it, and saw a scene that shocked him.
Karp finished reading very quickly.
This made those who hadn't yet read the newspapers tense; what major event had occurred this time?
They read through it one by one, and every general who finished was filled with shock. (Okay, I sped up the pace. (◣_◢))
The atmosphere in the meeting room returned to its somber state.
For a long time, no one spoke. The trouble Minos had caused was not so easy to resolve.
Zhan Guo glanced around, but no one spoke, so he had to break the silence.
"Now, everyone has seen it, right? It's Minos, that scourge. He's involved in everything that's bad for our navy."
Sengoku's serious voice rang out in the conference room, but it was filled with dissatisfaction and hatred towards Minos.
Before anyone could say anything, Sengoku spoke again: "Now, even Loguetown has been destroyed by him and Kaido. This is an unforgivable crime and must be severely punished."
After Zhan Guo said this, everyone fell silent.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Staff Officer Tsuru shook his head helplessly and asked, "But even Aokiji and Kaido couldn't defeat Minos, so what should we do?"
Staff Officer He's words expressed the sentiments of some naval officers.
Even Kaido and Aokiji couldn't defeat Minos, so were they just courting death?
"Hmph, I think we should just use the Buster Call!" Sakazuki sneered.
This time, Sengoku did not immediately reject the order, but instead considered the possibility and consequences of the Demon Extermination Order.
“Ordinary Buster Calls might not work on Minos!” Staff Officer Crane said solemnly.
"But if we expend too much energy on Minos, that would be even worse."
"Yes? Pirates from the New World are now eyeing our Navy with hostility."
With Staff Officer He taking the lead, the other vice admirals also spoke up actively.
However, Sakazuki's words immediately silenced the already lively atmosphere.
"Are we just going to let that brat Minos keep running rampant? Besides, aren't we just giving those despicable pirates a reason to laugh at us?" Sakazuki said passionately and indignantly.
Uh, okay! Sakazuki truly lives up to his reputation as the king of awkward silences; he's ruined another perfectly good meeting.
“How scary.” Kizaru came out again, pouting as he spoke.
Ahem, with Kizaru, the king of pranks, around, Sengoku coughed and prepared to speak.
"Then why not just have a general lead a team, along with several elite lieutenant generals from headquarters, to pursue Minos?" Sengoku said calmly at this moment.
Sengoku's words made the atmosphere at the naval meeting even more serious.
Even the usually mischievous Kizaru has become serious, fearing that Sengoku will send him to lead a team to pursue Minos.
This isn't to say he's afraid of Minos, but rather that Kizaru finds it troublesome. In that case, life adrift on the high seas would be very difficult.
"Does anyone have any recommendations, or anything they'd like to try?" Sengoku asked casually after glancing around.
The meeting room fell silent once again; for a moment, no one volunteered.
Sengoku turned his gaze to Sakazuki, his meaning quite clear.
"Weren't you the one who yelled the loudest? Then you'll have to make the move."
When Sakazuki saw Sengoku looking at him, he refused without hesitation, saying, "I still have to guard the New World, and I don't have time to pursue Minos."
Sengoku's face showed disappointment when he saw Sakazuki refuse. But Sakazuki's words made sense; only Sakazuki could hold the New World in place.
Sakazuki: "You inherently evil pirate, take this!" (◣_◢)
Sengoku finally turned his gaze to Kizaru, who was now looking very serious. At this moment, Kizaru was completely unrecognizable as the prankster he had been before.
When Kizaru saw Sengoku staring intently at him, he knew that the matter was settled.
"But he still wants to struggle a bit more. I have things to do with that Sengoku Fleet Admiral too!" Kizaru said bitterly.
Kizaru's meaning was clear: it wasn't that he wasn't going, but that he genuinely had something to do.
"What business could you possibly have?" Sengoku said bluntly.
"It's true!" Vegapunk asked me to protect him. Kizaru said with a serious expression.
"Really? I happen to have Vegapunk's number, why don't I call and ask?" Sengoku said teasingly, looking at the serious Kizaru.
"Uh, that's not necessary!" Kizaru said awkwardly.
Sengoku thought with disdain: "You think you can fool me with such a petty trick!"
"That's settled then. Kizaru will lead the team as Admiral. Now, all that's missing is the Vice Admiral," Sengoku said calmly.
After Sengoku said those words, Kizaru's heart finally died. He slumped into his chair, feeling like his life was over. (⌒▽⌒)
The other lieutenant generals exchanged bewildered glances, unsure what to say. You say they lack justice? Well, they can loudly proclaim that they do possess justice. (◣_◢)
However, if you're asking them to go and get themselves killed, then you should think twice.
Chasing Minos is such a dangerous thing; if you're unlucky, you might not survive.
"So no one's taking the initiative yet?" Zhan Guo glanced around and said calmly.
“In that case, I’ll call on the roll.” Sengoku said with a slight smile.
At this moment, Sengoku's smile appeared to the generals like a demon opening its gaping maw to devour people.
An invisible pressure has come to the lieutenant generals; perhaps only Garp and Staff Officer Tsuru are not worried!
"Then let's have Chaton and Onigumo!" (At this point, it shouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Chaton has the strength of a near-Admiral! (◣_◢)) Sengoku announced the vice admiral selection in a very calm manner.
After the Warring States period announced the selection of the lieutenant general, the other lieutenant generals breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that they were cowardly; it's that Minos was too monstrous.
Onigumo remained expressionless and resolute. One can only say, he truly lives up to his reputation as one of the representatives of the Eagle brand.
Cha-tun's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "He seriously suspects that Sengoku deliberately chose him."
Actually, Chaton wasn't wrong. The three people just selected actually represent three factions within the Navy Headquarters.
Kizaru's ambiguous sense of justice places him in the neutral camp. Onigumo's "better to kill the innocent than betray the innocent" justice is a clear hawk. Chaton, on the other hand, belongs to the sycophantic (dove) camp (⌒▽⌒).
If the Warring States period required each faction to send one person, wouldn't everyone be speechless?
"Ahem," Sengoku coughed and said, "There's one last thing."
Ok?
What else is there? This was the question on everyone's mind.
Sengoku spoke seriously: "Regarding the bounty on Minos."
