"Has this pirate group not entered the Grand Line yet?"
Roja stood up, touched his chin and asked, while walking towards the door.
Although he asked such a question, what Roja was thinking was, no matter why it stayed in the West Sea and did not go to the Grand Route, in Roja's eyes, the Gekko Pirates Group had already achieved 10,000 points of military exploits.
If there were a few more pirate groups like this, he would soon be able to exchange it for a supremely sharp sword from the navy headquarters, which would be quite comfortable.
"We all thought they had entered the Grand Line, but we just received intelligence that they were in the nearby waters. We are also very surprised."
When the colonel saw Roya walking out of the room, he immediately followed him and spoke with a solemn expression, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Pirates have always avoided the navy. I have never heard of the navy avoiding pirates. Even if the pirate group they face is very strong, this Gecko Pirate Group is different.
The Gecko Pirates were defeated head-on and killed the former base commander!
Because of this, the navy at the first branch base felt a little afraid.
"Mr. Roja, what should we do? Should we ask nearby bases to come for support and join in the encirclement and suppression, or..."
Roja glanced at the colonel and said: "Even from the nearest second branch base, it will take a long time to rush to the area governed by our first branch base. Besides, you really want people from other bases. Come to support?”
"this… "
The colonel showed a hesitant expression. If he asked other bases for support, he would definitely be ridiculed by other bases. The majestic first branch base of Xihai couldn't even deal with a pirate group in Xihai. What else? necessity of existence.
Roja could see the colonel's inner thoughts, so he smiled and said, "So, no need to go to so much trouble, just get out now."
When the colonel heard what Roja said, he was immediately surprised and said: "Mr. Roja, this Gecko Pirates are no small matter. Don't underestimate them. The former base commander is..."
At this point, the colonel paused, showing a hint of fear, and said: "And Major General Tikka is not at the base now. It would be better to wait for Major General Tikka to come back and be with you."
Hear the words.
Roja stopped and looked at the colonel.
Just when the colonel thought that Roja approved his suggestion, he saw Roja suddenly smiled.
"Don't you really want to restore the reputation of the first branch base? If you are so timid and don't even have the courage, how can you restore your reputation? Besides, I'm here, so you don't have to worry."
"this… "
The colonel's expression kept changing due to Roja's words. When he reacted, he found that Roja had already gone away.
After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and followed.
Roja is the base commander, and he has no right to refute Roja's decision. Moreover, as the colonel of the first branch base, he also very much wants to revive the reputation of the first branch base.
And the best way to regain his reputation is undoubtedly to defeat the Gecko Pirates!
Before, he heard the navy on the warship that brought Roja to the base say that Roja was very strong and could not be measured by his age. If that was the case, then choose to believe it.
…
The warship carrying base commander Roya and three colonels sailed out of the first branch base.
The enemy is the Gekko Pirates who defeated the former base commander. It is already a great thing that Roya's order can be carried out smoothly and enough manpower can be gathered to go to sea to encircle and suppress the Gekko Pirates, at least on the warship. The people are all brave sailors.
The atmosphere on the warship had a very tragic feeling. Many sailors were gnashing their teeth, as if they had made up their minds to fight against the Gekko Pirates.
Such an atmosphere actually made Roja laugh a little.
Roja didn't say much. At least these sailors were very courageous. He just stood quietly on the deck. The captains and lieutenant colonels on the warships used the intelligence to locate the Gekko Pirates. They had all decided to pursue them. The determination of the Gecko Pirates.
…
On the sea.
A large pirate ship is moving forward slowly.
"The last thing has been dealt with..."
The captain of the Gecko Pirates, with a cold and terrifying face, stood there, grinning, showing a creepy smile.
"Captain, are we finally going to the Grand Line?!"
"Hehehe, I want the entire Grand Line to know my name."
The other people on the boat all showed ferocious and excited expressions. For them, there was no need to stay in the West Sea anymore. The Great Sea Route was where countless powerful people gathered.
And at this time.
Suddenly a pirate ran over and shouted to the officers present.
"Captain, a Navy warship has appeared ahead!"
"oh?"
The captain of the Gecko Pirates stood up, holding a giant shark-tooth sword. He was surprised at first, and then showed a sinister smile.
"There are actually some unsighted marines who have come to cause trouble for me. It just so happens that before going to the Grand Line, let those guys see my power again!"
"Hey Hey!"
When the other officers on the pirate ship saw this, they all grinned and picked up their weapons without any fear, with cruelty and blood in their eyes.
In front of the Gecko Pirates.
A medium-sized warship is approaching in a straight line. This warship is the warship of the first branch base.
On the warship.
A naval colonel, with a nervous and puzzled look on his face, looked at Roja who was standing at the front of the deck, and said anxiously to Roja: "Mr. Roja, the enemy has entered the range of artillery fire. We Aren’t you going to shell it yet?!”
The biggest advantage of warships over pirate ships is their artillery fire. Even the best pirate ships can hardly compete with warships in terms of artillery fire.
According to the principles and practices of naval warfare, once an enemy ship enters the bombardment range, it is critical to launch a bombardment immediately, which can cause a certain degree of damage to the enemy ship.
Afterwards, depending on the firepower of the enemy ship, decide whether to conduct a long-range artillery battle or a boarding battle.
But.
This time, as Roja came out, when the enemy ship entered the bombardment range, Roja did not issue the bombardment order, and the highest commander on the warship was Roja.
Roja did not issue an artillery bombardment order. Even if the other three colonels were about to lose the best opportunity for artillery strikes, they were extremely anxious and did not dare to order the artillery bombardment without permission.
"Mr. Roya, please allow the bombardment!"
The three colonels had cold sweat on their foreheads. They had never expected that Roya, the base commander, did not follow common sense and directly pursued the Gekko Pirates without any battle plan. Moreover, he still delayed issuing the bombardment order.
Is it because Luo Ya is too young and has never presided over a naval battle? !
Thinking of this, these colonels broke out in cold sweat. Seeing that they had lost the best opportunity for bombardment, their hearts gradually sank to the bottom. They always felt that they had been betrayed by a fake major general base commander.
