Chapter 275: 2 years at headquarters, Iron Army reform
As for Zefa, who still holds the position of admiral, although his strength has declined a lot, he has lived up to expectations and trained a large number of talents for the navy.
Among the people trained by Zefa, Kuzan, Borsalino and Sakaski are needless to say.
Flying Squirrel, Fire Mountain, Ghost Spider and others have also emerged and demonstrated great potential and strength.
There are now six people with the strength of admirals in the Navy Headquarters, including Lu Kai, whose strength exceeds that of an average admiral. In this situation, there is no need for the old man to continue holding on.
As for the question of the successor's stance, it is even less of a problem. Sengoku's support for the World Government is even purer than Cyborg's.
The most important thing is that the ability displayed by Warring States is stronger than that of Cyborg.
Zhan Guo was known as a wise general and a representative of both civil and military talents. He could bring peace to the world with his writing and decide the outcome of a war with his military skills.
Now many things within the navy are actually handled by Zhan Guo, and when Cyborg encounters problems, he often consults Zhan Guo.
Although there was no title of marshal in the Warring States Period, the reality of marshal existed.
Moreover, judging from what has happened within the navy in recent times, Cyborg did not handle it well. Instead, it was Sengoku's aftermath work and subsequent proposals that stabilized the situation.
However, appointing a marshal is a very important matter, and Cyborg himself has no intention of stepping back for the time being.
Although the world situation was turbulent due to the arrival of the Great Pirate Age, the navy was able to keep the situation under control.
The Five Elders were also a little worried about the instability after the handover, so they couldn't make up their minds.
"Okay, since you can't make up your mind, let me take over!" Lu Kai made up his mind secretly.
According to Fu Ya's speculation, all that is needed to replace the marshal is a fuse.
It only takes a few things to prove that Cyborg's approach no longer works and that it is more appropriate for Zhan Guo to take real power.
And Lu Kai was naturally willing to be the fuse.
So for the next two years, Lu Kai stayed in the Naval Headquarters as requested by Cyborg.
At least on the surface, Lu Kaizhen didn't go anywhere honestly. The farthest place he had been was just a bar in the town behind the Marinford Fortress.
For two years, Luke had spent most of his time training and nurturing his disciples and subordinates, and because of this change, many pirates in the New World had become restless again.
The report of Lu Kai's promotion to admiral of the Marine Headquarters made many pirates breathe a sigh of relief.
Because according to regulations, the admiral of the navy headquarters has to guard the navy headquarters most of the time and cannot go out to sea easily.
This is also one of the reasons why Garp has always been reluctant to be promoted to admiral. It is not just because he is unwilling to serve the Celestial Dragons, it also has a lot to do with the inability to sail freely.
In the past two years, without Lu Kai's strong deterrence, those pirates who had been suppressed by Lu Kai for many years seemed to be having fun, and the situation began to rebound strongly.
The New World and the Grand Line, which had been stable for a long time, have begun to fall into chaos again, and the situation is getting worse.
But Cyborg refused to give in and allowed Lu Kai to suppress him.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Cyborg. After all, Lu Kai knows very little about many secrets of the navy's top brass.
He didn't know much about how to deal with the relationship between the navy and the government, as well as internal government affairs, but as an admiral he had to understand many things.
Besides, Ganggu has known Lu Kai's temper over the years. If he is not tied to his side, Lu Kai will immediately become a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and it will be difficult to tie him up then.
So for various reasons, Lu Kai spent two whole years at the Naval Headquarters.
But it's not completely without benefits in the headquarters.
The land has its own conveniences. Lu Kai exercised his power to build himself a super-large training room, and also comprehensively upgraded all his training facilities.
In the two years since he became a general, Lu Kai has spent most of his time in the training room.
No matter what time, Lu Kai always maintained the habit of crazy training. Even though he had been chasing pirates for so many years, Lu Kai still kept the habit of exercising.
This is one of the reasons why so many people admire him so much.
If a person becomes powerful because of luck or the power of a devil fruit, it will indeed make many people jealous.
But if someone becomes strong by surpassing everyone else's efforts, then this person will only gain the admiration and respect of others.
And in the training room, there was not only Lu Kai, but more than 3,000 people.
After becoming a general, the first order Lu Kai issued was to transfer the "Iron Army" and the Iron Army reserve that he had trained in G1 to the headquarters.
This kind of allocation is customary.
Many people choose to keep their direct descendants with them after getting promoted, otherwise Starkey's sister would not have always followed Smoker.
The only difference is that Lu Kai transferred a lot of people.
Although it's a bit inappropriate, Lu Kai still has this right as a general.
What's more, Cyborg didn't want this prestigious "Iron Army" to be dispersed, so he didn't raise any objections, but supported the transfer of 2000 elite soldiers from the Navy Headquarters to supply G1.
Moreover, after Lu Kai transferred 3000 troops to the Navy Headquarters, he immediately reorganized the reserve forces into the "Second Iron Army" and the "Third Iron Army".
The Iron Army that Lu Kai initially led was changed to the First Iron Army.
As a general and the actual supreme commander of the three iron armies, Lu Kai commanded the three iron armies but no longer led any of them personally.
Instead, he would rotate among the three iron armies in the name of the commander-in-chief, and planned to re-select the captain, deputy captain, instructors, brigade commanders, etc. for the three iron armies.
After Lu Kai was trapped in the Navy Headquarters for a year and a half, he had personally trained all three iron armies and completed their ideological education.
The restructuring of the Iron Army officially began, and a seven-day selection process was carried out, resulting in a major change in the leadership of the three Iron Armies.
The First Iron Army:
The captain is Latilos (former chief instructor of the Iron Army), and the deputy captain is Samaro (former captain of the first battalion of the Iron Army).
Chief Instructor Mezia (former captain of the 5th Battalion of the Iron Army), Deputy Chief Instructor Cherno (former captain of the 10th Battalion of the Iron Army)
The Second Iron Army:
The commander-in-chief is Babaka (formerly the commander of the second battalion of the Iron Army), and the deputy commander-in-chief is Cyrus (formerly the commander of the seventh battalion of the Iron Army).
Chief Instructor Ma Lansa (formerly the captain of the 6th Battalion of the Iron Army), Deputy Chief Instructor Su Luo (formerly the captain of the 8th Battalion of the Iron Army)
The Third Iron Army:
The commander-in-chief is Sato (formerly the commander of the 4th Battalion of the Iron Army), and the deputy commander-in-chief is Pameron (formerly the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Iron Army).
Chief instructor: Sabin (former captain of the 9th Battalion of the Iron Army), deputy chief instructor: Caesar (former deputy captain of the 9th Battalion of the Iron Army).
The top leaders of the three iron armies are all Lu Kai's direct subordinates, and this structure has been maintained for half a year now.
