Chapter 135
However, this time, no matter how excited Garp was, he could not change the final result. He could rely on his seniority and merits to do something willful, but Long could not.
Kong was also helpless and could only appease him.
"Garp, calm down. Actually, the escort work this time is quite good. You see, the commander-in-chief is Jiger. Are you still worried about him being here?"
Sora glanced at Jiger, who smiled slightly and said nothing.
Zhan Guo folded his arms and nodded, and said in a deep voice,
"In previous years, the escort work was always carried out by CP9. Since this position was given to our navy this time, it means that our navy has a more important position in the World Government."After hearing this, Kong looked at Zhan Guo with approval, thinking that he is worthy of being my chosen successor.
Tsuru continued to say,
"In this case, we must seize this opportunity, perhaps it will allow our navy to gain more say in the World Government."
After saying that, Sengoku and Tsuru looked at Garp with a hint of apology in their eyes.
Garp didn't want to think about so many twists and turns. He only saw one thing, that is, his two old friends might not help him this time.
But he still didn't give up, and said angrily,
"I don't think they have any good intentions!......"
"Enough!"
Kong's expression changed, and he slapped the table heavily with his big hand, scolding.
"Garp! Have you forgotten who you are? What are you carrying?"
Garp clenched his fists tightly, and He stretched out his hand to pull the corner of his clothes and shook his head slightly.
""Alas!"
With a heavy sigh, Garp sat back in his chair dejectedly. Sora ignored him and asked Jiger, who had been silent the whole time,
"Jige, this mission is very important. You must be careful not to let Tianshangjin get into trouble!"
Jigge said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Marshal Kong, I will definitely send Tianshangjin safely to Mary Geoise."
Compared with Garp's performance, Jiger's performance seemed much more worry-free. Kong nodded with satisfaction and said,
""Then I'll leave it to you!"
Jiger looked serious, but he felt a little funny in his heart.
For him, Tianshangjin was his own property. To put it bluntly, he was going to collect rent.
Then Kong said some precautions. Just when the meeting was about to end, Garp suddenly said,
"Let me go this time too!"
""Huh?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Kong frowned and asked,
"Cap, stop making trouble, what are you doing?"
"This is Long's first time to participate in such an important mission. As a father, I want to accompany him. Is this not okay?"
Jig narrowed his eyes. If Garp really got involved, it would definitely hinder his actions.
Thinking of this, he immediately said,
"Vice Admiral Garp, isn't it enough to have me here? Are you questioning my ability?"
These words were already a little explosive, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. In their impression, Jiger was always very kind to his colleagues, and this was the first time they saw him being so tough.
But think about it, after all, Jiger had just taken office as admiral not long ago, and he was so young, Garp's words were really easy to be misunderstood.
Garp knew he was in the wrong, and his tone was rarely weak,
"Jige, don't misunderstand me. I'm not questioning your ability. I'm just worried about Long."
"Oh? Long's strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary vice admiral. I wonder what Vice Admiral Garp is worried about?"
Garp looked embarrassed. He couldn't say that Long had a problem with his thinking, right? This must not be made public!
He thought for a long time and said,
"This kid has been acting a little strange lately, and I'm afraid he'll do something stupid, so I want to follow him."
After saying that, he immediately followed up with another sentence,
"So please let me go with you, I will never interfere with any of your instructions!"
This time, without waiting for Jiger's response, Kong said directly,
"Of course, Jiger is the commander-in-chief, and his current rank is general!"
Speaking of the word general, Kong deliberately emphasized the tone, obviously referring to Garp.
However, Garp ignored it directly, he would never become the general!
Sengoku glanced at Garp and said,
"I think we can let Garp go, so that the World Government can see our attitude."
Crane nodded and agreed.
"Well, Garp's reputation in the World Government is not very good. This time he took the initiative to ask to participate in the escort mission, I think it can also ease the relationship between the two sides."
Zengguo and He didn't speak for Garp just now, and they felt a little guilty, so this time they obviously wanted to make up for it.
Zefa was a little unhappy and said,
"But this is Jiger's task, I don't think it's appropriate!"
Jigger reached out and touched the corner of Zefa's clothes, and said softly,
""Teacher Zephyr, forget it. Since Vice Admiral Garp wants to go, let him go."
Zephyr was still a little indignant. Jiger was his most proud student. At this time, as a teacher, he naturally had to speak for his student.
Jiger smiled and patted Zephyr's hand on his knee, then looked at Sora and said,
"Marshal Kong, I agree to let Vice Admiral Garp join this mission."
After these words came out, Kong heaved a sigh of relief, and a hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes when he looked at Jig.
To be honest, the most difficult person in this conference room was him, the top leader.
Everyone present was an absolute backbone, and he really didn't want to offend any party. Jig had solved a big problem for him.
Garp's eyes lit up, but before he could be happy for a while, Jig said lightly,
"But I want to make it clear in advance that if anyone disobeys my orders during the mission, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Garp paused, then immediately agreed. Others didn't think there was anything wrong with it, just thinking that Jig was giving himself a way out.
In everyone's opinion, Jig had taken the initiative to make concessions, and there was nothing wrong with saying something harsh.
And no one thought that anyone would disobey orders during this mission. Although Garp was usually unreliable, since he had already made a guarantee, there should be no problem.
After Jig finished speaking, his usual smile appeared on his face again, and then he sat back in his chair.
The next meeting went smoothly. Kong also wanted to end the meeting quickly to prevent Garp from causing any more trouble. After making the final personnel deployment, the meeting was dismissed.
Before leaving, Garp smiled and thanked Jig.
