Chapter 177: Gaining a foothold, Lu Kai recruits soldiers
The Stanway incident immediately caused a sensation in the Navy Headquarters.
Be it Marshal Cyborg, Admiral Sengoku, or Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters, they were all stunned by Lu Kai's operation.
Lu Kai went back to Xihai right after taking over G1. Logically speaking, his influence on G1 should be small.
Faced with such vicious forcing of the emperor by Stanway, there was a high probability that he would capsize in the gutter, and even Cyborg was mentally prepared to cover for Luke.
But they didn't expect that Lu Kai used thundering means to sweep the whole place and deal with all the officers in a few days, and also found all the evidence of Stanway's crimes. They really didn't expect Lu Kai to have such talent.
Originally, Cyborg was planning to have Luke come to G1 for training, and he also wanted him to suffer some losses so that he could grow through setbacks.
He didn't expect that Lu Kai had grown to such an extent, and was much better than he had imagined.
In fact, Lu Kai didn't want to be so cruel, but he simply didn't have that much time to waste with Stanway. He had to spend most of his time on training, and he also had to go out to sea to chase pirates, and there were many other things to do.
So Lu Kai had no choice but to cut the Gordian knot and get this annoying guy out of here right away.
In Lu Kai's original plan, if Steinway could honestly cooperate with him in the management of G1, Lu Kai would not bother to do anything to Steinway. But since Stanway had already taken action, Lu Kai naturally would not be polite to him.
What's more, in terms of intelligence, ten Steinways cannot compare to Fuya. With Fuya's advice, Lu Kai is naturally not worried at all. When he heard Fuya's plan, Lu Kai applauded on the spot and called Fuya sister YYDS.
In Fu Ya's words, the situation is on Lu Kai's side. If he still waits for Steinway to take advantage of him and give him a blow from time to time, wouldn't Lu Kai be a fool?
After all, Fu Ya has never been a saint. Her creed is: If anyone offends my brother, I will kill you.
Not to mention Steinway, even if Lu Kai wanted to destroy the world, Fu Ya would probably stand by his side without hesitation.
Not long after, the headquarters sent someone to take Stanway away.
When Stanway was arrested, he couldn't believe what he saw. He cried bitterly while handcuffed. This scene was seen by many people.
And Lu Kai, in just two months after arriving at G1, swept away Steinway, who had been running G1 for more than years, and established his absolute authority. This was achieved even though he was absent for the first two months.
In fact, it took only five days from the time he dealt with Stanway to the time he was arrested. Luckey also determined the value orientation of G1 in the future, and no one dared to offend Luckey since then.
But in the following days, everyone in G1, from the major general to the ordinary soldiers, found that Lu Kai seemed like a different person and had become much easier to get along with.
He is very tolerant and polite to everyone, spares no effort in training and promoting his subordinates, and is even very caring towards ordinary soldiers.
At first, no one knew what Lu Kai was up to. It was not until a month later that everyone finally understood that this was the 'real' Lieutenant General Lu Kai.
As long as you do your job and training well, and firmly uphold the justice of putting the people first, then anything you do will be understood and forgiven by Lieutenant General Lu Kai. Even if you have made mistakes, as long as you turn back from your mistakes, you are still a good comrade.
As a result, everyone supported and loved Lu Kai even more, especially those who thought that Lu Kai might take revenge on them later, who were extremely active and supported all of Lu Kai's decisions.
At this point, with a combination of kindness and severity, Lu Kai's position in the hearts of all G1 officers and soldiers has become unshakable.
This was naturally not Lu Kai's idea, but Fu Ya's arrangement. Lu Kai was just a determined executor, because Lu Kai was really like Fu Ya said, he was becoming less and less willing to use his brain.
As long as Fu Ya is around, Lu Kai has a habit of thinking that has been formed over the years, that is, Fu Ya will help him with everything and he just needs to be obedient.
After Stanway was arrested, Lu Kai and Fu Ya had a secret conversation.
In a secret conversation, Fuya bluntly stated that if Luke wanted to achieve his goal quickly, he could not target Garp, but should take a completely different path from Garp.
In the past two years, Luke has indeed been deeply influenced by Garp. His mind is full of training and fighting, and he has no interest in anything else.
Fu Ya's words just served as a reminder to Lu Kai, and at the same time, Fu Ya also made three requests to Lu Kai.
The first requirement was what Fu Ya had mentioned before, that Lu Kai had to hide his strength and many of his moves when doing everything as a navy officer.
The better you hide, the greater the advantage you will have in the future. When you are a lieutenant general, the strength you show is at most 30% stronger than that of other generals.
After becoming the admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the strength he displayed was at most 50% stronger than that of other admirals. In this way, Lu Kai would be valued more than anyone else, but would not be feared by others.
The second requirement is to learn how to win people's hearts. The navy is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships. Therefore, Lu Kai must do his best to improve his prestige in the hearts of all naval generals and ordinary marines.
The third requirement is to cultivate his own direct troops, which must be absolutely loyal to Lu Kai and absolutely believe in Lu Kai’s justice of putting the people first.
Lu Kai will also spare no effort in the training of his direct subordinates, first trying his best to improve their strength and loyalty. When their loyalty is sufficient, he will start to promote their military ranks and let them infiltrate various departments of the navy.
The second and third requirements must be done by Lu Kai himself, and no one else can do it for him. Although doing these will take up a certain amount of Lu Kai's practice time, it is absolutely necessary.
After listening to this, Lu Kai agreed immediately without even thinking about it, because it made so much sense. In fact, it’s not that Lu Kai himself didn’t think about it, but he just didn’t have time to think about it.
After obtaining the right to go to sea freely from Garp more than a year ago, Luke had this idea. However, on the one hand, Luke had to face those powerful pirates in the sea at that time, and in order to quickly improve his strength, he really couldn't spare the time.
Secondly, all the soldiers under Lucei's command at the time were Garp's, and Lucei was unwilling to poach his teacher's soldiers, so the plan was shelved.
But now Lu Kai’s identity is different. He is the supreme commander of G1. He has the right and the need to do so.
Even if Lu Kai's proposal to personally train a force was submitted to the top leaders of the Navy Headquarters, everyone would support his idea because many people were doing the same.
For example, Garp has a group of loyal followers under his command, and when Admiral Zephyr later established the NEO Navy, there was also a large group of people willing to follow him.
Almost every lieutenant general and every general has his own direct troops.
Because this is an army, and they will be leading troops to fight frequently. Only when the officers and soldiers are united and the three armies work hard can they gather strength to the greatest extent.
An army without tacit understanding, cohesion, unfamiliar with each other and the upper and lower levels cannot fight a tough battle.
