Chapter 3 I Am Caring About the People.
"This is the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis!!"
After the words fell, Gion seemed to feel ashamed, and a blush of anger stained her face.
Darren, this bastard, actually did such a shameful thing in the naval base. This was simply unacceptable and intolerable to Gion, who grew up in the headquarters and received the "pure justice" education from the Crane Staff.
Not to mention, she came from the headquarters this time and also had the responsibility of "inspection" and "supervision".
If this kind of thing spreads, what a bad impact will it have on the reputation of the navy! ?
Darren... It's simply a shame of justice!
Unexpectedly, Darren, the instigator, looked like nothing happened, with a very charming smile on his face, and slowly stood up:
"Oh, it turned out to be Major Gion and Major Kaji. You came all the way from Marinford. It's really hard."
He held out his hand generously with a cigar in his mouth.
"Welcome to the North Sea 321 Branch."
Gion looked at him coldly, without any intention of shaking hands.
Darren shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took out a cigar and handed it to Kaji who was standing next to him.
"Major Kaji, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Kaji's eyes lit up when he saw the cigar handed over by Darren.
The cigar was branded with gold-plated patterns, which clearly came from the West Sea and was a high-end cigar exclusively for the nobles.
He subconsciously wanted to take it, but when he saw Gion's fiery eyes, he immediately retracted his hand in embarrassment.
"Hey, Darren... Is this woman really the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis?"
Kaji asked secretly in a low voice.
Darren smiled but said nothing.
Kaji immediately took a breath of cold air.
Beast! !
He cursed in his heart.
He saw the appearance of Lady Margaret, mature and charming, with charm still there, but she was just given to this guy! ?
How could he be so handsome! He is obviously more handsome, why don't he have such luck!!
The most important thing is that she is the wife of the Governor!
This identity... just thinking about it is exciting... cough cough...
Kaji couldn't help but grit his teeth and said:
"Colonel Darren, your behavior is not good."
The tone sounded a bit sour.
Gion turned back and glared at Kaji, then turned around and bowed deeply to the wife of the Governor hiding under the quilt to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Madam Margaret, this is the negligence of our navy."
"For this incident, I am a member of the inspection team from the Navy Headquarters, Lieutenant Gion of the Navy Headquarters. Please rest assured that we will thoroughly investigate the evil deeds of Colonel Darren and punish him severely!"
While speaking, Gion secretly swore in his heart that he must report this matter to the headquarters. There must be no black sheep like Darren in the navy!
At this time, Lady Margaret carefully poked her head out of the bed and glanced at Darren who was standing there smoking a cigar. A hint of shyness flashed across her charming eyes, and she whispered softly:
"That...Major Gion, I actually volunteered."
"I... like Colonel Darren very much."
Gion was stunned.
Kaji was dumbfounded.
They originally thought that Darren used his strength or power to force Lady Margaret to submit.
But unexpectedly...this was voluntary?
Wait!
They thought of the official ship docked at the port.
This, this...is a takeaway delivered to the door?
"Okay, two guests from the headquarters, let's not disturb this beautiful lady's rest."
Darren said with a smile at this time.
He casually put on a brand new military uniform, put on a wide cloak, and raised his head to indicate the direction of the door.
"Let's go to the office to discuss business, please come this way."
...
321 Branch, Base Chief's Office
A huge plaque hung on the gray wall, with the two characters "Justice" written in a flamboyant style.
Darren sat in the main seat without hesitation, lighting a cigar and saying:
"Major Gion, Major Kaji, come and give me some good news, have I received my commission?"
As he spoke, he looked at the two people in front of him casually.
This was the first time he had seen these two future "general candidates" after crossing over.
Gion was tall, with a pair of long, white and slender legs, without any excess fat.
His long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, with a wide navy cloak, and his eyes were dark and bright, making him look heroic.
The beauty mole at the corner of his mouth added a bit of charm to her.
It was just different from the impression in the animation. Gion was only about 18 or 19 years old at this time, and looked quite immature, but he had already begun to show his charm.
As for Kaji next to him... well, it was quite sloppy.
She stood there with a cigarette in her mouth and her hands in her pockets, her eyes darting around and glancing at the cigar on the table from time to time, looking so wretched.
She was only about 20 years old, but she had a kind of "vicissitudes" that only 40 years old would have, and she looked a little anxious.
They are all young second-generation officials...
Darren felt a little emotional.
Kaji was okay, his background was quite approachable.
Gion was a veritable "second generation".
Not to mention her amazing talent, her background was also ridiculously high.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters, regarded her as her own sister, and Admiral Sengoku took good care of her. It can be said that she was the chosen child who was spoiled by the big men of the Navy.
Even the "strongest navy" and "hero" Garp was called "Little Garp" by her.
This kind of treatment is really excessive.
Comparing people to each other is a comparison to death.
He climbed from the bottom to the rank of colonel with great difficulty, and Gion started out as a major when he first went to sea to perform a mission.
Not to mention that anyone could tell at a glance that Gion and Kake came to Hokkai this time, seemingly to carry out a mission, but in fact they came to get gold.
When their mission expires in a few months and they return to their headquarters, the two of them with full resumes can directly enter Zefa's officer training camp. They can enter the core decision-making level of the navy only after graduation.
It’s really enviable.
However, it is obvious that Gion and Kake at this time are still quite young, with a kind of pride and innocence unique to young people.
It's quite normal.
After hearing Darren's words, Gion, who was still angry, snorted coldly and took out a letter of appointment.
"Congratulations, Colonel Darren. From this moment on, you will be the highest officer in charge of military affairs in the entire North Sea Navy."
Darren took the letter of appointment and looked at it——
letter of appointment
From now on, Beihai Branch 321 Base Commander and Headquarters Colonel Rogers Darren will be the Beihai Admiral!
He smiled with satisfaction.
The position of admiral is only established in the four sea areas outside the great waterway. It is a specific position and the military rank is colonel of the headquarters.
The admirals of the four seas in the east, south, west and north have the highest command authority over all naval bases and justice forces within their respective jurisdictions. They are directly responsible to the headquarters of Malinfando and are the most powerful figures in the four seas.
Although there is no such letter of appointment, it will not have a significant impact on his power. After all, the entire Beihai Navy is already under his control.
But besides Karp, who would think that his position is high?
Besides, with the title and position of Beihai Admiral, I can do some things more conveniently.
'That guy Sakaski still keeps his promise...'
Darren muttered to himself.
"Sorry to bother you two."
He raised his head and smiled heartily:
"I wonder how long you two will stay in Beihai?"
Gion said calmly:
"It can range from half a year to three months, depending on the review time."
"Colonel Darren, for the sake of confidentiality, during this review process, the identities of myself and the members of the review team of Major Jiaji will be kept confidential throughout the entire process. We will all report that we are your adjutant."
Darren smiled and said:
"No problem, Gion. Please give me your advice in the future."
The naval academy in this timeline is not as large as that of later generations. It takes the form of a "training camp" and selects elites from branches in the Grand Channel and the Four Seas for training, rather than training directly from recruits.
Therefore, the selection criteria for officer training camps are very strict, and the review system came into being.
As long as he passes the review, he will pass the selection and go to the headquarters to join the officer training camp. He will be trained by the former Navy Admiral Black Arm Zefa. He will learn the six naval styles and even domineering, and become a real strong man!
In the end, you can rely on this layer of resume to accumulate enough political resources to soar in the naval system!
Darren then turned to look at Jiaqi and handed the latter a cigar.
"Then, please give me some advice."
Jiaji glanced at the gold-plated special cigar. Even in the headquarters, he had never smoked such a good product. For a moment, he felt that the flue-cured tobacco in his mouth was tasteless.
"That... Gion..."
He looked at Gion longingly.
Gion rolled his eyes angrily,
"Smoke it, smoke it..."
"okay."
Jia Ji took the cigar with joy, couldn't wait to light it, and started smoking happily like Yu Qian.
At this time, Gion suddenly asked in a cold voice:
"So Colonel Darren, you still owe us an explanation for what happened just now."
"Even if Mrs. Margery is voluntary, your actions will have a bad impact on the reputation and morale of the navy..."
"And considering Mrs. Margaery's status as the wife of the Governor of the Kingdom of Yadis, your behavior may also cause a serious diplomatic incident."
When Jiaji heard this, he also pricked up his ears and stared at Darren as if he was watching a good show.
Hum hum, I just want to see how you explain it.
He has known Gion for many years and naturally knows the latter's character very well.
Under the influence of Counselor Tsuru's "pure justice", Gion could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.
You kid, you are so arrogant!
And smoking such a good cigar!
Well, I have to say that this cigar is indeed quite tasty...
"Gion, this question doesn't need to be explained, right? Isn't this very reasonable?"
Darren had an "innocent" expression on his face.
"I care about the people...military-civilian cooperation."
"Cough cough cough..."
Jiaji, who was smoking a cigar in Meimei, almost choked to death and his face turned red.
He raised his head and stared at Darren, dumbfounded.
Care about, care for the people?
Military and military-civilian cooperation?
this……
this……
This... actually seems to make sense! ?
Why didn't I think of such a perfect excuse before? No, the reason!
