Naval T-72 Division Base.
The major general who was in charge of the base before was severely injured when he went out to hunt for pirates. The pirate's original bounty was only 60 million beli, but after that battle it was increased to 145 million beli. Became a pirate supernova in the first half.
When Ron came to the T-72 branch, he had no mission to hunt down the pirate, because the pirate had arrived at the Shampoo Islands a few days ago, and the navy did not intend to take action in Shampoo.
"coming."
At the port of the T-72 branch, branch major general Puka, led his ten branch colonels, as well as a large number of lieutenant colonels, majors and other officers, gathered at the port to welcome the new base commander.
Seeing a warship approaching in the distance, many people recovered from their loose state and became solemn.
"I heard that the new base commander was sent from the headquarters and is very powerful."
"After all, our branch has been greatly embarrassed this time... We really need a strong base commander to lead us to restore our deterrence in nearby waters."
Several lieutenant colonels and majors were discussing quietly.
When the warship completely arrived at the port, the voices of discussion disappeared completely. Everyone looked at the warship docked at the port with solemn expressions until someone stepped off the warship.
The first person to walk down was Ron. He was wearing a navy uniform with a calm and natural expression. Behind him was a petite but bumpy girl, who was Nami.
"Major General Puka of the T-72 branch, led all officers to welcome the new base director, Mr. Ron!"
The leader, Major General Puka, was not surprised when he saw Ron walking down first. He had already seen Ron's appearance in the photo, and he saluted Ron and spoke.
Puka was not surprised, but the colonels and lieutenant colonels at the rear were startled when they saw Ron coming down, and some even showed a little astonishment.
Not everyone had seen Ron's photo in advance. When they saw Ron in person, many naval officers almost subconsciously felt that they had seen it wrong, because Ron's appearance was too young, and he looked like a second-class man at most. He looks like a teenager!
Major general base commander in his twenties? !
Even today's three generals, Akainu, Aokiji and Kizaru, were 30 years old when they became rear admirals. The previous general, Zefa, also became a naval officer in his 30s.
And the key is that he is young. There is no appearance of 'strong', 'fierce' or 'powerful' in Ron. On the contrary, he can see a bit of aristocratic temperament, especially when he is followed by a man. A petite girl, she looks more like a nobleman who is out looking for fun.
"this… "
Some naval captains at the rear looked at each other and saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes. The headquarters must have sent a son of a high-ranking official down.
Although there are few such characters in the Navy, they do not exist. The key is the base commander of the T-71 branch base next door. He is such a character. It is said that his father is a high-level official of the World Government, and his own strength is not as good as that of an ordinary person. A naval soldier, he came down to serve as the base commander.
The entire T-71 branch was also in a mess.
Because of this, their T-72 branch often has to deal with some bad situations for the T-71 branch. From time to time, they receive orders to assist. Many naval officers want to slap the major general in the T-71 branch. Go back to the world government.
But there is no way, the opponent's background is too strong, even the base director of the G8 branch, Jonathan, can only pinch his nose and turn a blind eye to him.
Their new major general base commander must be from the same group again.
That would explode!
Originally, the T-71 branch was already in a state of ruin. The major general of the branch was used as a bodyguard by the base commander who was afraid of death every day. He was not allowed to lead his team to go out to hunt down pirates, so that countless pirates Wreaking havoc at will, if they come here like this, even these two sea areas will completely become a paradise for pirates.
“…”
Ron walked in front of the many officers calmly.
He glanced at the many naval captains behind him and saw the embarrassment and even some annoyed expressions on their faces, and he could roughly guess what they were thinking.
"I am the new base commander Ron, and I will be in charge of the T-72 branch from now on... Well, it seems that many people have some opinions and dissatisfaction with me as the new base commander."
Ron looked at the many naval officers casually.
Many naval captains looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence.
The new base commanders have all spoken like this. If anyone still shows dissatisfaction and opinions, they may be taken out and dealt with with authority. But even so, no one wants to speak, and they don’t want to offend Ron, the new base commander. , does not mean that opinions and dissatisfaction will also disappear.
Puka, the branch major general who had seen Ron's photo in advance, was actually a little hesitant at this time.
He has come into contact with Ron's detailed information, including Ron destroying a ship of pirate supernovas, and Ron killing a big pirate with a bounty of more than 300 million. This information comes from the headquarters, and it should not be false, but Ron The look made him unsure.
For the top brass of the World Government, it's easy enough to fabricate some resumes.
There was some hesitation in his heart, so he didn't know what to respond.
"Does not speaking constitute acquiescence?"
When Ron saw the appearance of many marines, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled, took Nami and walked directly to the base, saying: "Rear Admiral Puka, take me to visit the base first."
At first glance, you can't tell how powerful he is, but you can see his aristocratic temperament, which is quite in line with Ron's image requirements for himself.
He was just a little unhappy because he was thought to have little strength. If someone planned to confront him with a straight face, he wouldn't mind giving him a mental shock.
As the mental power becomes stronger, the mental shock move becomes more and more like a domineering one. Those who are weak and have insufficient mental will will basically faint after being struck by one.
"yes."
Puka was slightly startled when he saw Ron's attitude, and immediately responded.
I was a little skeptical at first, but now my doubts are reduced, because if Ron is the son of a high-ranking official of the World Government, his attitude should be very arrogant. Seeing them like this, he may get angry immediately, and it is unlikely that he will So indifferent and gentle.
The hesitation in his heart faded away, and Puka obeyed Ron's order and took Ron and Nami to visit the T-72 branch and learn about each area in the branch.
As for the other lieutenant colonels, majors and other officers, they dispersed after looking at each other.
It didn't take long.
After understanding the regional structure of the T-72 branch, Ron and Puka came to the base director's office located on the top floor of the branch building.
“There’s not a lot that I would be responsible for.”
Ron sat behind the desk, tapping the table with one finger, looking at a list of officers and information of the T-72 branch, and said: "How to deal with the daily affairs of the T-72 branch?" You are responsible for how to deal with it, and there is no need to report it to me except for special information."
"yes."
Puka responded. The branch major general himself assists the base commander in handling affairs.
Ron pondered for a moment, glanced at Nami sitting on the other side of the sofa, and said, "Nami is my assistant and will be responsible for the branch's finances in the future."
“…”
Puka was speechless for a while. It was normal to leave the affairs to him, but it was a bit strange to leave the finance to an assistant, and this assistant...how should I put it, looked a little unreliable.
The normal role of a smart and capable assistant should be standing next to Ron, checking information about the branch and giving Ron some advice. However, Nami does not look like an assistant at all, and at this age, she is probably Only fifteen or sixteen years old
Lover is pretty much the same.
A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, can she be responsible for managing money? !
The more Puka thought about it, the darker his face became. He always felt that he was afraid that in less than a month, all the money in the T-72 branch would be squandered, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to pay his salary by then.
