The branch base leaders all returned to their respective bases to deal with the massive pirate attack. They had to be each other's horns to avoid being defeated one by one by the pirate army, so they could not leave.
And at this time, there is someone outside who can make Akainu so angry...
Crane thought of a possibility.
"That kid really escaped?!"
Just as he was thinking this, Akainu suddenly calmed down his expression and sneered.
"Oh no, I don't think you are ready to come back now."
On the other end of the phone, Ron didn't hear anything unusual in Akainu's voice and thought he had guessed his plan, so he nodded and said.
"Yes, I really have no plans to come back now."
Using local materials to build a bonfire, Ron said while tearing into the grilled fish: "How is the situation outside now?"
"The scale is ahead of schedule. The headquarters' garrison has even dropped to less than 30,000. With your assassination troops and airship troops, it is only 40,000... but it is still within the range of handling."
Akainu glanced at Crane who was walking back, and continued: "Orick thought we were still the same people we were before, and wanted to overwhelm our support by blooming everywhere. I think he made a wrong calculation!"
In the past, the Navy, let alone its headquarters, was located far away from the mountains and rivers. Even if something happened in the waters near the branch base, it would be difficult to rush over to provide support.
But that was before!
Since Ron proposed and implemented the Global Village plan, the transportation network built around the branch has given the Navy a qualitative leap in mobility!
Coupled with the fully equipped airships, Orric's troops were divided into pieces like fish that hit the net.
"That's good, then I'll be even more reassured that I won't come back."
Hearing this, Akainu sneered.
"Oh? So how long are you going to take leave?"
"I don't know, it depends on the situation."
Ron shook his head: "Who can tell what happens behind enemy lines... And I highly doubt that we have a traitor, so it would be better not to come back."
Uh-huh!
Akainu's eyes widened for a moment and he glanced at Crane.
"What's the meaning?!"
"You must have been... very busy recently, so you didn't do much post-war analysis on the war with the Solitary Red and the World Destroyer, right?"
Akainu frowned, and Ron was telling the truth.
He was so busy these days that he only slept for a total of seven hours. He had no time to deal with a battle that was over.
At most, Kerby and Donte are already on the way, guiding along the paper of life, ready to pick up Ron.
"But I'm relatively free, so I made a summary myself when I had nothing to do."
Being locked in a cage and unable to do anything, how can I not be idle
Ron rubbed his aching wrist and continued: "So I discovered a problem!"
"What is it?"
"In addition to General Kizaru and I, the other Lieutenant Generals involved in the battle that day included Flying Squirrel, Dongte, Tea Dolphin, Mozambia, Dalmecia... And the G5 branch in charge of Lieutenant General Mozambia has a long history. Known for their science and technology, even our own people have to be careful about their mine defenses."
"You don't know yet? The person who took advantage of the situation this time is a general under Orric. He is a monster that is no less powerful than the three generals of our navy. And he bypassed our defense line and went deep into the rear, which is different from Gu Gao Hong's rampage. , but came from underwater in a submarine.”
If you want to bypass the navy patrol team and go deep into the hinterland without being discovered by anyone, just look at the fate of the third patrol team. It is something that even the lonely red cannot do.
Hiss...!
Akainu gasped and was about to say something when Crane placed a defense map in front of him.
There is an area painted red, which is exactly what Ron said about the mine defense circle!
"The mines in the mine defense circle are not simply floating on the water. Instead, they are high and low like fish. The purpose is to completely prevent the enemy from outflanking the retreat, and to create a monolithic sea area. There are only three entry and exit routes, which are only known to us. ”
Ron threw the fish bones aside, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with cold eyes: "I have already killed this subordinate of Orrick, so I am very sure that it was not his special ability that helped them avoid the mines."
"So other than that, the only answer is..."
"Someone leaked the secret!!"
Boom! !
Akainu angrily pressed down on the defense map, and the flowing magma instantly ignited it, along with the wooden table behind him, leaving burnt black palm prints.
"Any guesses?"
"No, but the only person who knows the specific mine map is the person whose name I just read out. Whoever they handed the mine map to must still remember it clearly. If you follow this line of investigation... you should be able to investigate something."
Ron's tone was very uncertain. This range was too big after all!
To be precise, the person whose name he read out only has the highest priority right to know. To implement the task, the route must be handed over to the execution force. One by one, who knows how many people are suspected.
"I understand, so you are going to hide so that this hateful traitor cannot know your whereabouts and treat you as a surprise soldier."
Akainu instantly understood Ron's plan and followed the train of thought: "Understood, I will announce the news that you have returned. Anyway, the imitation fruit is in our hands, so it's not a problem to fake it."
Oh, you have learned to draw inferences from one instance!
Ron looked at the phone bug in shock.
Is this still the Akainu I know
"How can my marshal be so cunning!" 》
"Yes, that's it."
Ron took a dumb bite of the grilled fish, and the smell of the meat brought him back to his senses: "He will definitely be notified that I have escaped. However, what we do in the eyes of the other party is an old trick. In order to find our Purpose, he might reveal something because of this... By the way, I can also do something secretly. If Orric thinks that this matter can be settled by killing a few people, I can only say that he is too naive! "
When the two armies confront each other, the most terrifying thing is not the generals openly calling the battle, but the hidden arrows.
Originally, no one had that chance, and every move was closely monitored by the other party.
Now that Orric had given the opportunity to him personally, Ron himself felt uneasy if he didn't use it.
Ron grinned as he bit into the fragrant grilled fish.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something...
etc!
If Akainu didn't know these things, then why did he say "I don't think you are going to come back now" in the first place
Why does he think I'm not ready to go back
"Ma...masaka!"
Ron looked down at the telegraph machine next to him, which was one of the communication tools he put in the ring... Thinking of the contents of the telegram he sent to Dongte a few days ago, Ron jumped up with a "swish".
"Huh? What happened to you over there?"
Before Akainu could return to his original train of thought, he frowned and asked when he heard the noise.
"It's nothing, I got a fishbone stuck in my throat... If it's okay, I'll hang up now, Marshal, just pretend I don't exist for this period of time."
After saying that, without waiting for Akainu to answer, Ron hung up the phone impatiently.
Poi!
Looking at the sleeping phone bug in his hand, Akainu raised his head and looked at Crane, complaining.
"This bastard, he didn't even explain the specific details clearly, so he hung up the phone in such a hurry... then..."
As he spoke, Akainu slowly fell into a low voice, and Akainu smashed the receiver in one hand. Under the trembling gaze of the phone bug, his face was filled with anger and embarrassment.
"Damn it!! He got involved!!!"
Watching Akainu futilely study how the phone bug could call back when the receiver was broken, He shook his head.
"It's really..."
Then he smiled.
“It’s great to hear and see!”
