Chapter 266 Hold High the Banner of Morality and Justice
"Porusalino, it's your turn."
The hawks headed by Sakaski and the G8 faction headed by Wilton finished voting one after another, and then both Wilton and Sakaski looked at Porusalino.
For a while.
All eyes were focused on Porusalino.
"Today is a really bad day."
Porusalino pushed up his sunglasses. He really had a headache.
It is difficult to imagine what kind of changes will happen to the Navy after this meeting. Maybe everyone here will become enemies in the future.
He just wants to fish quietly, but sometimes his status is beyond his control.
"I abstain."
As expected.
Porusalino said directly, whether he agrees or disagrees, it doesn't matter which of you becomes the marshal, he will always be the general.
If he is excluded and marginalized in the future, he will not want it.
Just receiving a salary and not working is the life he wants.
"me too."
"I abstain."
"Same."
Follow closely behind.
Lieutenant generals such as Laculova, Lonzi, Brugueras, Guillotine, Hound, Vergo, and Huoshaoshan successively expressed their opinions. Some of them did not want to get involved, and some had their own ideas.
Wilton counted carefully and found that 18 votes were neutral.
These 18 votes are not only from Porusalino's side, but also from other small factions.
"The results are already clear."
A rare smile appeared on Sakaski's paralyzed face. The remaining ones who did not express their stance are no longer important, because there are not as many as the hawks and the G8 faction in total.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period."
"Consultant Crane."
"What do you two mean?"
Wilton still asked the two old antiques respectfully.
"It doesn't matter whether we agree or disagree."
Sengoku and He sighed, this time Kuzan lost.
Neither of them expected that so many people would have opinions, and even Ghost Spider and others got involved.
Putting aside the hawks, G8 factions and neutrals, the remaining doves are simply not enough to support Kuzan.
Gion, Kaki, Gumir, Bastiu, Maynard, Stirres, Mozambia, Zui Aiming, Bogarde, Tianzheng.
There are only 10 people in total.
If Sengoku, Tsuru, and Kuzan himself are included, the number would only be 13 votes.
Empty approval is only 14 votes.
The hawks plus the G8 faction had a total of 29 votes.
"Wildon, voting means nothing."
"None of us have the right to decide this matter."
Sora also understood.
The Kuzan administration is indeed very unpopular. If we had grasped the past two years after the war, we might not have been as embarrassed as now if we had made some political achievements.
"Then please ask Marshal Kong to contact Marie Joa!"
The conference room was quiet.
Everyone present is not a fool, and they already know many things.
This matter must be resolved today. The differences and rifts have been brought to the surface. Even if they are forced to get together, they are just deceiving themselves.
In the end, it will only be a serious loss of vitality.
"Wildon, Sakaski, have you thought clearly?"
Sora looked serious.
If he could suppress them, he really wanted to suppress these two guys. Based on his understanding of the Five Old Stars, this act of forcing a coup was undoubtedly a rebellion.
As a superior, the most intolerable thing is rebellion.
Even if the Five Old Stars have to tolerate it for the sake of the overall situation, they will start to settle things afterwards.
"Let the Navy be great again and let justice reign in the world. Even if I go through fire and water and my body is shattered, I will not hesitate."
Wilton was determined.
This sentence made the whole audience breathe harder, and many lieutenant generals clenched their fists tightly with blood boiling. Even Warring States could not hold back the hot excitement.
What Wilton did in this meeting was very extreme, but his firm manner of not forgetting his original intention really made Seng Guo both loved and hated.
Don’t you know how to wait any longer?
Or try a gentler approach.
"Many things cannot be accomplished with enthusiasm."
Kong's sharp eyes gradually softened, and he had no doubt about the authenticity of Wilton's words. Speaking of it, his dream when he was young seemed to be to let justice illuminate the sea.
I don’t know when everything started to change.
It seems that starting from becoming a marshal, he realized that he couldn't help himself.
"But many things require passion. Even if I die on this road, I will have no regrets."
Sora no longer answered, but took a deep look at Wilton, then took out the golden phone bug from his sleeve and dialed the number in front of everyone.
brubru——
The phone bug's voice was harsh in this quiet environment.
Fortunately, I was quickly connected.
"Sora, is the meeting over?"
"What are Wilton and Sakaski doing?"
At this time, in the highest power center of Pangu City, the five five old stars were all watching the phone bug in the office.
"Lord Wulaoxing, the meeting is not over yet."
"The theme of the meeting between Generals Wilton and Sakaski was the removal of Navy Marshal Kuzan. There are currently 29 votes in favor, 18 neutral votes, and 13 votes against."
Sora is not long-winded and can be summed up in two sentences.
The phone went silent, leaving only five slightly aggravated breathing sounds.
a long time.
An angry voice roared in the conference room.
"Are Wilton and Sakaski going to rebel?"
"Kuzan is the Admiral recognized by Marigio. The Admiral has no qualifications or the right to dictate to the Admiral, let alone the so-called removal!"
It’s not hard to hear.
The words were not only filled with anger, but also contempt and ridicule.
"This matter ends here, and Mary Joa will not be held accountable."
"Let them disperse and do their jobs."
The other two voices came from the phone bug, as if they were finalizing the coffin, or they seemed to change the topic and end it early.
"Marshal Kong, give it to me!"
Wilton motioned to Sora to give him the phone bug.
After getting the phone bug, Wilton turned on the video image, and soon a picture was projected in mid-air, similar to virtual imaging.
This feature is only available to advanced phone bugs.
For a while.
The figure of Wulaoxing appeared in the picture, and the scene of Wilton and the conference room was also visible to Wulaoxing.
"Wildon, Sakaski, we will treat this meeting as a joke and end it immediately and return to the G-1 and G-8 branches."
Topman Wuchuli looked serious, and the other four old stars also stared at Wilton and Sakaski with stern expressions.
"The voting results speak for themselves."
"Kuzin's incompetence is a fact. He cannot make the Navy great again, nor can he make justice shine on the sea."
"Please give the order! Remove Kuzan and make him a general."
Wilton looked at these five old men. His words were not fierce, but they were very domineering and unquestionable.
"Hahaha."
"Wildon, Sakaski, do you know what this is about? Is it a rebellion?"
The Five Old Stars laughed in anger, angry at Wilton's ignorance and audacity.
It's a big joke that a mere general dares to point fingers at them, or even force them.
"Once again, after the meeting is over, you and Sakaski will return to the new world. Don't think that you can be presumptuous just because you have made contributions in the war at the top."
Markas Mazsheng could hardly hide the anger on his face.
"Kuzan stepped down because he wanted to do what he wanted. It's not just me and Sakaski. If he really has the ability to lead the navy to become stronger, why are so many people dissatisfied?"
"The facts are here, please consider it carefully."
"This is not a reason for you to force a coup to force the palace. It is Marigio who has the final say on who will be the marshal of the navy. You just need to obey the order."
Jegolucia Satansena screamed.
If you two hadn't fanned the flames, how could anyone be dissatisfied?
"Don't you just ignore Kuzan and govern like a piece of shit? Look what the navy has become now. It's a turtle with its head shrunk, its corpses are sitting there, and the pirates are allowed to run rampant."
"If things continue like this, the Navy will definitely become a joke on the sea, worthy of those who sacrificed their lives for justice."
"Wildon——"
Before Wilton could finish speaking, Shepard Ten Peter interrupted with a cold look and said word by word, "What the navy will become is not decided by you, nor by the sea, but by Mary." Gioia has the final say.”
"End this meeting immediately."
"Looking at the past achievements of you and Sakaski, we can forget about it."
“Don’t push yourself too far.”
Wulaoxing issued an ultimatum.
"Weihaha."
"You don't care about justice or sacrifice at all."
Wilton laughed angrily and stopped pretending.
Showdown.
The time has come.
"The Navy is just a department of the World Government. All you can do is obey orders."
"What if the G-1 branch and the G-8 branch are independent."
Wu Laoxing's voice, which originally contained a hint of contempt and anger, suddenly stopped, and five pairs of oppressive eyes began to stare at Wilton.
a long time.
Saint Izanbalon V. Nasthurō clenched the katana in his hand and said in a serious tone, "Are you threatening us?"
"This is not a threat. Everyone knows that the Navy is rotten and it urgently needs reform. If even the Navy, which represents justice, is hopeless, it is no different from the death of justice."
"What are the heroes who sacrificed their lives for justice one after another?"
"I will never let the navy decay, and I will never let those heroes die in vain."
Wilton held high the banner of moral justice, like a warrior who died generously, not letting the five old stars look into each other's eyes even a step away.
The belief bursting out of him once again moved everyone present.
Even Kuzan looked at Wilton with a complicated look.
Apart from anything else, Wilton's belief in risking his own life for justice is admirable, but various factors have led to huge differences between them.
"This is not a reason for your rebellion."
"Don't even think about using the G-1 branch and the G-8 branch to threaten us."
"Marie Gioia cannot tolerate your persecution."
"The true job of the Navy is to follow orders."
"From now on, Wilton will be relieved of his position as general."
The Five Old Stars were not moved. In their eyes, the navy was just a tool, and justice was just a means they used to rule. As for those who sacrificed for justice, they were just a bunch of cheap jokes.
Irrepressible and overbearing.
Wulaoxing directly dismissed Wilton from his position. For any person in power, no matter how much credit his subordinates have made, forcing the palace to rebel is intolerable.
"Sakaski, return to the G-1 branch immediately."
The five old stars are also very smart. They only made a thorn in Wilton and chose to let Sakaski go. This is an aboveboard hint.
The air was eerily quiet.
Whether it was Wilton or everyone else, they looked at Sakaski.
