Chapter 258 The plan is set
"What on earth happened? The Elite Battalion is of utmost importance. Almost all the senior naval officers and the strongest fighters in the past came from the Elite Battalion.
Even the middle-level combat forces are no exception. The elite battalion must not have any problems, and the training cannot be delayed. They are all the best marines selected from each year, and this batch is particularly important.
And this is the first time I’ve trained in this way, and I haven’t even seen any results. Isn’t it too hasty to end it like this?”
Sengoku was a little excited after hearing what Zefa said. When he heard that the entire elite camp was in trouble, he directly pointed out the importance of the elite camp. Garp next to Sengoku seemed to be quiet because the matter involved Vic, and he was waiting for Zefa's next words.
"We came to the Kingdom of Flower today. You should all know this place. I don't like this place very much. I slept on the warship before landing on the island.
But Vic and his friends didn't know the truth. They thought the island was special and wanted to go up and take a look. I had told them to go up and take a look and come back, and not to stay too long.
But after they went up, they accidentally discovered the secret of the fireworks, which attracted those people pretending to be gangsters to kill them, but because Vic and his men were too strong, they killed all the CPs on the island. "
Zefa made up a story to simplify complicated things, omitting billions of details in the middle.
"Hahaha, Vic did a great job. Those incompetent people deserve to be killed. Vic is great. You guys should come back soon. I've been waiting at the headquarters to reward him. Hahaha!"
Cap's voice rang out again, praising Vic's behavior. Vic was wondering what the old man could reward him with. Didn't he spend all his money on food and drinks? How could he still have money to buy prizes?
"Shut up, Garp! If it weren't for your title of naval hero, you would have been dragged to a military court for trial!" Sengoku's roar came from the other end of the phone again.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect the title of navy hero would be of some use!" Den Den Mushi laughed until tears came out.
"Zefa, what you just said is indeed very serious, but the best way to deal with this matter is to pretend that you know nothing.
Vic and his men killed the gangsters on the island. No one from the World Government was involved. You should leave there quickly. It won't be long before the place returns to its original state!"
Sengoku's tone was a little low. As a wise general, he quickly thought of a countermeasure, and Garp's laughter disappeared.
"Just now, the king of this country found me and said that the protector of the island was killed by our people. He wants to join the World Government as a member country. Tian Shangjin is ready, but he hopes to build a naval base on the island, the sooner the better. I promised him..."
Zefa told him about the follow-up. Although the joining ceremony had not yet been held at the World Government, it was a bit against the rules to build a base now. (The joining ceremony required the king of this country to insert a sword on the steps in front of the Void Throne during the World Conference.)
However, for Zephyr's sake and after being persuaded by Garp, Sengoku agreed to send someone over immediately. The base chief was still chosen by Zephyr. The major issues had basically been resolved, and now the only issue was the addiction problem of the people.
After the phone call, Zefa took Vic to find the anxious old king and told him the result. The old king finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest hidden danger has been resolved, so he couldn't help but thank Zefa and Vic and invite everyone to the palace. However, Zefa refused on the grounds that he had to take back the warship to ask the ship's doctor to analyze the fireworks.
Zefa felt very uncomfortable facing this country, and even felt a little guilty. He believed that the navy was also somewhat responsible for the country's situation.
Vic and the others all followed Zefa back to the warship. Although the problem was resolved, they were not in a good mood. The people here would still have to endure the ravages of fireworks and pollen for several more years, and it was not known whether the older ones could survive, just like Xiaonan's grandmother.
"Ethan! Is there any medicine that can treat or alleviate the symptoms of fireworks addiction?" Zefa asked the ship's doctor Ethan on the warship.
"Reporting to the commander, it is difficult to treat, but there are indeed such medicines to relieve the pain. However, I don't have much of that medicine here, so I can only guarantee the survival of the old man I brought before.
If we want to save more people, we need a lot of medicine, and the medicine should be mainly used by the elderly, and then distributed to others after the elderly recover!"
Ethan was also in a heavy mood. All the people on the island were infected. It was simply horrifying. This was completely a means of war, a means of destroying a country and a race!
"Then I will notify my student who is coming to build the naval base and ask him to bring more medicine. We can only deal with this situation slowly. Tomorrow you and I will go to the island and tell the king your suggestions."
Zefa was also helpless in the face of such a thing. No matter how strong he was, his strength was useless. After that, Zefa asked the name of the medicine and called his student to explain the matter.
Vic and the others also went to the cabin to visit Xiaonan and her grandmother. When they got there, the old lady had fallen asleep. The stiff and painful expression on her face was no longer there, but a hint of relief. Xiaonan's mood also improved a lot, and she was no longer crying.
"Xiaonan, things on the island have been almost resolved. There will be a naval base on the island in the future, and there will be no problem with security. You and grandma can live a good life here from now on!" Rebecca hugged Xiaonan and comforted him.
"Well! Thank you. If it weren't for you, this island would still be in the sea of suffering. It's hard to say when it will sink, but it will definitely sink. You have given this island a bottom. You are heroes of the country. Thank you!"
Xiaonan let go of Rebecca and bowed deeply to the few people. She had nothing else, and this was the only thing she could do.
"Vic has always told me to follow my heart since I was a child. After learning what happened on the island, my heart told me to help you. I am just following my heart.
We are all like this. Your king has already thanked you. We are friends. Isn't it my duty to help you? Don't be so polite to me!"
Rebecca's words came from the heart and were full of strength. Xiaonan stood up with Rebecca's help. Looking at the smiling men and women around her, Xiaonan also showed her most beautiful smile and hugged Rebecca.
"Xiaonan! Do you... want to join the navy, so that we can travel around the world!" Rebecca asked Xiaonan with some anticipation.
"I...I can't be a navy soldier now. My grandma is already very old. I want to stay and take care of her!"
"But I can be a marine at the naval base on the island. We'll meet again someday!"
Xiaonan didn't want to see Rebecca's disappointed face, but she had her own persistence. She was adopted by her grandmother when she was an orphan, and now that her grandmother was old, she wanted to take care of her wholeheartedly. But when she saw the expectation on Rebecca's face solidified with her words, Xiaonan couldn't bear it and said another sentence.
"Oh, it's my fault for not thinking it through. Being with grandma is the most important thing. You don't have to worry about me. I just said what I wanted to say. It's okay!"
Rebecca's eyes were red, and she turned to look at Vic. Vic smiled and walked up to her and gently stroked Rebecca's hair.
