Chapter 296 Discovery!
Just a few days before the strange changes in the Sabaody Archipelago quietly occurred, in Marinford, the Navy Headquarters.
"Tell Zhan Guo about your discovery, Donnie, and the special features you noticed about your mission."
In the marshal's office, surprisingly, Admiral Zefa (front), who had always been in the boot camp, came to the headquarters building today and went straight to Marshal Zhan Guo, followed by a marine with the rank of colonel.
Based on what Sengoku had known about Zefa over the years, he knew that the other party must have come to him so formally for some important matter, and it must be worthy of the attention of the navy's top brass.
"Yes...Yes! Mr. Zephyr!"
Hearing this, Donnie nodded nervously, and with renewed hope, he revealed all his research on the "Great Coral Island" where the Celestial Dragons had traveled.
From the roughly similar time of each mission to the list of naval forces that participated in each mission... the Roswald family's trips are very regular and reasonable. Every year, they set out when the scenery of the coral island is the most beautiful.
Moreover, except for the addition of Megan Palace during the second outing, the number of naval escorts on each trip was almost the same.
If we ignore the fact that there are almost no survivors from the navies responsible for the escort, this seems to be just a small part of the many ways for the world's nobles to enjoy themselves.
However, even a colonel like Tony could see that there was something unusual. How could Sengoku and Zefa, who had served as generals, not see that there was something strange?
Too weird? And very strange?
Even considering the navy's normal casualty rate, this is simply impossible!
"Zefa, what do you think? It can't really be a coincidence, right?"
Zhan Guo asked seriously, such a thing happened without anyone noticing, and it was very likely that the Celestial Dragons were involved, so he had to treat it with caution.
"Coincidence? If three teams led by colonels and major generals were all killed in just nine years, then in my opinion, there is no need for the navy to exist, and I will die as an apology for this!"
Zefa said with a gloomy face. As the chief instructor of the navy, he has great confidence. Borsalino, Sakaski, and Kuzan, the three guys who are now admirals, have been taught by him personally.
And the backbone forces like Ghost Spider, Fire Mountain and Tea Pig were mostly created by himself. With such excellent examples before him, how could he believe that these navies were so "incompetent"?
"After becoming the marshal, your attitude towards those people in the government has become softer. Zhan Guo, I think it should not be difficult for you to guess that this matter, even if it was not done by those Tianlong people, it is still related!"
Zefa looked at Sengoku with burning eyes. It would be fine if those guys did all kinds of evil things at ordinary times, but they inflicted their malice on the navy that upholds justice and the world government, and it happened three times in a row!
Whether as an instructor or a marine, Zefa will never tolerate such behavior! No matter what, this matter must be investigated thoroughly!
"Tell me the truth, Sengoku. I plan to meet with the Five Elders and request an investigation into the Celestial Dragons.
Even if we don't have the power to judge, don't we still have the Knights of God?
As long as the Five Elders have some sense, they should not allow this situation to continue! That would undoubtedly be digging their own graves!"
Hearing Zefa's firm and decisive words, Zhan Guo was stunned for a moment, as if he saw the "Black-armed Zefa" who was still the admiral. If it weren't for that accident, maybe the navy would still have a sailor worthy of support fighting on the front line at this time?
And for those who have dedicated the rest of their lives to cultivating a new generation for the navy, aren't these navy members their own family?
“I fully support you on this matter, Zefa!
To fight against foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country. If someone drags his feet behind the scenes, it will undoubtedly tarnish the sacrifices of the soldiers!
The situation on the sea is becoming increasingly severe. As a naval admiral, I will not allow this to happen again!"
Under Zefa's gratified gaze, Zhan Guo said in a deep voice,
"In order to enhance the persuasiveness, let Ahe go with you. It is not easy to get the Five Elders to accept the examination of the Celestial Dragons. With Ahe's wisdom, it should be much easier.
There is also Marshal Kong. I will also ask him to come forward later. As a veteran of the navy and the commander-in-chief of the government’s entire army, this weight should be enough to attract the attention of the Five Elders. "
"I understand, Zhan Guo. It has to be you. With your support, I am more confident. Tomorrow, no, today, after I have verified the information of those warriors, I will set out to Marijoa to meet the Five Elders!"
As comrades-in-arms for many years, there is no need to explain the tacit understanding between Sengoku and Zephyr. Naturally, they give each other the greatest support possible. For the justice in their hearts, they can do their best to let the navy flag sail freely throughout the ocean.
Seeing this scene, Donnie, who was "trembling" and standing aside, was intimidated by the aura of the big guys and could not hide his excitement.
These are the predecessors of the navy. They are the true heroes who are willing to sacrifice everything for the justice in their hearts!
In contrast, I seemed to be a little hesitant and timid in moving around and investigating in order to save my life...
With an indescribable feeling of shame rising in his heart, Donnie had no time to celebrate that he no longer had to carry out this mission. He was just ashamed of his weak behavior.
This is the only time! -- I gave up my vow for the sake of my life! This must never happen again!
Having made such a resolution secretly, Donnie was thinking about how to change his style in the future and follow the example of Seniors Zhan Guo and Zefa, when he heard Zhan Guo suddenly calling his name -
"Colonel Downey!"
“Here…Here!”
"Considering that your discovery this time is of vital importance, if the matter is really related to the Celestial Dragons, they will most likely not let you, a fish that slipped through the net, go. Therefore, the risk of this matter will be borne by Zefa and me for the time being. As for you, you'd better pretend that nothing happened...
Well, considering that you have shown great caution and carefulness this time, I would like to transfer you to the Sabaody Archipelago to serve as Vice Admiral Rom's deputy. The environment there is more suitable for you to display your talents!
When this is over, based on your performance in the Sabaody Archipelago, this department will nominate you for promotion to major general. What do you think? "
Suddenly struck by a huge surprise, Donnie immediately looked up at Zhan Guo's admiring eyes, and the excitement in his heart made him blurt out,
"I, I have absolutely no objection!
Thank you for your trust! Marshal Zhan Guo! "
----------
An ordinary navy officer who accidentally discovered the long-hidden truth due to a moment of cowardice seemed to be on the verge of success. In fact, the other party was indeed looking forward to establishing his own achievements in the new environment.
However, just as Zephyr and Vice Admiral Tsuru in Marijoa were shocked by a surprising discovery, the incident in the Sabaody Archipelago also spread to Marinford.
At this time, an hour after the navy received this information and nervously prepared to launch support, Marinford received an unexpected "gift" at the same time -
A gift from Child Emperor, a perfect gift that can "promote" the prestige of the navy!
