Chapter 227 Distribution of War Merits
Marine Headquarters, Marinford. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’
Marshal’s Office.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
Zhan Guo took the hot tea handed over by the guard. The tea was clearly still steaming, but he took a few gulps without hesitation and put the empty cup in the guard’s hand.
“Give me another cup.”
Everyone stared at him in amazement.
Zhan Guo saw everyone’s gaze and smiled a little embarrassedly:
“I’m a little thirsty, aren’t you thirsty?”
Everyone: “…”
You said those “two sentences” for three hours without any rest in the middle. Of course you’re thirsty, bastard!
Konggu Kong rubbed his temple helplessly.
At the beginning, Zhan Guo at least got to the point. He conducted a detailed question and answer session around this “Operation Coin Island”, which well demonstrated the wisdom of the Navy’s planning and its powerful combat power.
But ten minutes later, this old guy just let himself go.
He began to recall how hard and how hard he worked when he first joined the navy, and how many difficulties and obstacles he had to go through before he was promoted to the position of admiral of the navy.
From the navy's organizational goals to the development expectations for the next few decades... He was so excited at the press conference that he spitted wildly.
In the end, at least half of the people ran away, and the remaining half were drowsy.
Thinking of this, Kong Ganggu glared at the kid Zhan Guo unhappily, sighed, turned his head to look at the navy commodore who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed on the other side, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Darren boy, you did a great job this time."
He lit a gold-plated cigar and said with a smile:
"To be honest, even I didn't expect you to be able to do this."
It was so easy!
The flying pirate fleet that had given the high-level officers of the Navy Headquarters a headache and feared for many years was easily annihilated by Darren!
If the facts were not in front of him, Kong Ganggu simply couldn't believe it.
Darren, who was smoking a cigar, smiled modestly:
"All this is thanks to the support and trust of General Zhan Guo. If it weren't for General Zhan Guo's unconditional trust, I would never have had such an opportunity."
Gang Gu Kong laughed and scolded:
"Don't talk political rhetoric to me here!"
"And you Zhan Guo!"
He suddenly turned his eyes and glared at Zhan Guo,
"Don't grin there! Look at what you have done! A good press conference has been turned into a sharing session of your personal experience!"
"Look at what you have done in this operation!?"
"Besides standing there to scare the Golden Lion a little, what else have you done that is constructive!? If you could do better, would Darren have been injured so badly?"
Gang Gu Kong scolded Zhan Guo all over his face, making the latter shrink his head.
"Have you thought about the questions the reporters asked? This operation is almost the same with or without you!"
"I..." Zhan Guo blushed immediately, but he couldn't say a word to argue.
He felt very wronged in his heart.
He was not good at speed and burst, and it was not easy to contain the flexible Golden Lion.
If it was a head-on confrontation, Zhan Guo thought he would never be at a disadvantage!
But the bastard Golden Lion didn't fight him head-on.
He had to chase Darren and fight, old man Kong, can you blame me?
Even if Garp came to this matter, it would not be much better!
Zhan Guo became unhappy and said a little aggrievedly:
"This kid's injury is not serious, but just a fatal injury. With his monster-like physique, he will probably be alive and kicking in a few days..."
"What did you say!?" Steel Bone Kong's voice suddenly rose.
Zhan Guo shuddered, his face suddenly became extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"I said Marshal Kong was right to teach me, this time it was my fault!"
Gang Gu Kong looked at the "honest and well-behaved" Zhan Guo with anger and amusement, and shook his hand weakly.
Zhan Guo's personality is like this, a nice way to say it is "flexible", a bad way is "smooth".
If it were Zefa, the stubborn old boy, he would probably have to argue with him or even quarrel directly.
Thinking of Zefa staying in the training camp day after day, Gang Gu Kong felt his head hurt more.
What a group of troublesome little devils...
He shook his head, dispelled the chaotic emotions in his heart, and said seriously:
"I have read the specific battle report, you all did a good job this time."
"The next question is about the distribution of military merits. There is no doubt that Brigadier General Darren... the greatest credit this time belongs to you."
He laughed.
"This time, there should be no problem with your promotion."
Darren smiled and nodded.
He could have been promoted to Rear Admiral half a year ago, but because of the defection of Drago, the promotion was put on hold.
Although he was not very interested in the so-called position of Rear Admiral, no one would dislike his high position.
At least in this way, he finally caught up with the progress of Sakaski and Borsalino.
No need to salute the superiors when meeting.
But Darren didn't wait for a few seconds to be happy——
"Polusalino, you also did a good job this time. Not only did you severely injure the top leader of the Beast Pirates, 'Fire Calamity' Jhin, but you also showed strong battlefield dominance in the battle on the Coin Island." , intercepted the golden lion in time many times..."
Cyborg Kong smiled and looked at Porusalino, who was sitting there in a daze on the other side.
"Congratulations, Lieutenant General Porusalino."
Porusalino pretended to be surprised when he heard this, opened his mouth slightly, and raised his hands in the air.
"I really didn't expect this... Do you think so, Major General Darren?"
He looked at Darren with a half-smile.
Darren: "..."
You didn't expect it, you didn't expect it, why are you asking me? ?
This bastard must have done it on purpose! !
"Yes, Lieutenant General Porusalino."
Darren gritted his teeth.
But then again, Porusalino's promotion to lieutenant general is indeed well deserved.
Although every mission involves fishing and paddling, this guy will be present in almost every important battle.
And with his Devil Fruit ability, he can "perform" at just the right moment, and no one can find fault with him.
You said he didn't take action, but he did, and the scene was terrifying.
But if you say he took action, at the end of the day, it seemed that it didn't matter whether he took action or not.
This kind of heat is unique.
Here and there, his merits are rising rapidly. In addition, he is the most senior among the three original generals, so his promotion will naturally be faster than that of Sakaski and Kuzan, and he will be promoted earlier. It is not surprising that he has reached the position of lieutenant general in the headquarters.
Cyborg Kong couldn't help but smile as he looked at the "weird" looks of the two of them.
It's great to be young.
I think back then, the three brats Garp, Sengoku, and Zefa were just like them. They were noisy and weird and even got into fights every day. They came here after being noisy and arguing for so many years.
Now they have become "legends" in the navy, and the dazzling new generation of the navy is thriving under their protection.
As a Marine Admiral, this was one of Cyborg's few relaxing moments.
"As for the arrangement of Momo Fruit..."
Cyborg Kong pondered again and spoke.
Darren immediately sat up straight and stared at him intensely.
Warring States' expression was also a little anxious.
The power of the Momo Fruit is self-evident. If he is allowed to arrange the disposal of this Devil Fruit, it will play a great political role.
For example, it can be used as a reward for military achievements, or it can be used to cultivate one's own confidants.
"Just follow what was said in the press conference and let Brigadier Darren handle it."
Steel Bone Kong made the final decision:
"This meeting ends here, I won't say a few more words. The specific training will be carried out together with the graduation of the training camp in one month."
"Meeting dismissed."
