Chapter 276: Refusing Promotion, Invincible Division

Chapter 276: Refusing Promotion, Invincible Division

Neither Fuya nor Xiaolong served in any iron army.

Fu Ya serves as Lu Kai's adjutant, while Xiao Long serves as Lu Kai's bodyguard.

The so-called guard is actually just a title. Who else does the admiral of the Navy Headquarters need to protect? However, Xiaolong is only willing to follow Lu Kai and Fu Ya, and is unwilling to go anywhere else.

All the masters of the original Iron Army held important positions in the three Iron Armies.

When everyone first heard Lu Kai talk about the restructuring, many people expressed their reluctance to leave the First Iron Army.

Although Lu Kai said at the beginning that there was no difference in the structure, treatment and importance of the three iron armies.

The so-called first, second, and third are just names, there is no distinction between high and low, but everyone wants to follow Lu Kai and is unwilling to go anywhere.

It was not until Lu Kai announced that he would no longer personally lead any of the Iron Armies that everyone realized that there was really no difference between the three Iron Armies.

Therefore, everyone worked very hard during the selection process and tried their best to strive for a higher position. After all, the Iron Army's consistent principle is to speak based on strength and ability.

If you have the ability, you can drink wine and eat big chunks of meat. If you don't have the ability, you can't even drink the soup. You deserve it for your incompetence.

After entering the Second Iron Army or the Third Iron Army, many former Iron Army masters immediately applied to transfer their own direct subordinates there.

For a newly formed force, having the help of its direct subordinates can achieve twice the result with half the effort in any aspect, so the three iron armies were broken up and reorganized, and it has been half a year now.

Moreover, the three iron armies were all competing secretly, and no one was willing to submit to the other. Soon, a healthy competition was formed, and each one worked harder than the other in training, as if they were crazy.

Lu Kai's training room is open to all members of the Iron Army.

Except for the twenty or so people who were promoted and transferred because of their great contributions in recent years, all the members of the Iron Army are here.

There is also a particularly strange phenomenon under Lu Kai's command, that is, almost no one wants to be promoted. This situation is simply inconceivable in other troops.

People travel thousands of miles to become officials just for money, and only by getting promoted can they get rich. Even if it is not for wealth, a higher position is needed in order to better enforce justice.

The Iron Army is the only exception.

Even many Iron Army soldiers approached Lu Kai privately, hoping that Lu Kai would not report their military achievements, so that they could stay with Lu Kai forever.

However, staff promotion is inevitable.

In the six years since Lu Kai formed the "Iron Army", not including the two years he stayed at the headquarters, the Iron Army has produced a total of 6 lieutenant generals and 5 major generals.

In the eyes of many people, the "Iron Army" is simply a training base for senior generals, but no one finds it strange.

Because Luke's contributions over the years were so great that no one could match him, especially in the two years after the Great Pirate Era began, it would be easy to get promoted following him.

However, as a lieutenant general, Lu Kai had strict regulations on the number of major generals he could command. You couldn't just have as many as you wanted.

Once a military rank reaches lieutenant general, or the number of major generals exceeds the requirement, someone is bound to leave.

However, most of those who left first were officers and generals from the original G1. The most important reason for this was that they originally had high military ranks.

Even though the contributions of Latilos and others are no less than those of the former G1 officers, and they hold important positions in the Iron Army, from the perspective of the Navy Headquarters, they are just recruits, and it is impossible for them to be promoted faster than the former G1 officers with the same contributions.

Now, most of the former G1 officers who had entered the Iron Army have already left, either because they were persuaded by other generals to stay or because they were sent to serve in various branches.

Promotion is obviously a good thing, but every time the officers of the Iron Army are promoted, everyone feels sad, so later on there was this strange phenomenon that no one in the Iron Army was willing to be promoted.

What is difficult for many people to understand is that almost every one of those who were transferred out of the Iron Army had refused the promotion order from their headquarters.

In the end, Lu Kai had to persuade them one by one, saying that if one’s military achievements reached a certain level, one should be promoted, which was also determined by the system.

The first person to leave the Iron Army was Adelman, the former deputy chief instructor of the Iron Army. He left three years ago, one year after the Great Pirate Era began.

Adelman was originally a major general of the Navy Headquarters, and his strength had reached the level of a newly promoted vice admiral at an early stage. Later, he followed Lu Kai in his battles, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he made outstanding military achievements.

Because Adelman's contributions were too great to be suppressed, he had to be promoted to lieutenant general and was sent by Cyborg to G5 base as base commander.

For this reason, Adelman, a strong man, actually cried and begged Lu Kai to ask the department to revoke the order. Everyone could clearly feel his reluctance and sadness.

Although Lu Kai couldn't bear it, he still resolutely carried out the order of the headquarters, but he held a grand ceremony to see Adelman off.

The drunk Adelman cried and said he didn't want to leave, and said that wherever he went he would be Lu Kai's soldier and would definitely implement the justice that Lu Kai insisted on.

In the past two years, Lu Kai has not set sail once, nor has he sent his subordinates out on any missions. Instead, he has made everyone train desperately.

Therefore, the merits and ranks of the Iron Army members have not changed in recent years, which has made many people very happy.

Today, the Iron Army has completely become a super elite group, completely achieving Lu Kai's original intention of forming the Iron Army.

Now, after two years of hard training, the Iron Army has become an even sharper sword, and no other troops dare to look directly at the edge of this army.

It has been a long time since Lu Kai felt the feeling of having such a large amount of time to do nothing and just exercise.

The Iron Army's already terrifying combat effectiveness has reached an even more terrifying level during these two years of training. All the members of the Iron Army have gone crazy in these two years.

Because General Lu Kai promised them that as long as they appeared before the world again one day, that would be the time to destroy all evil forces like a whirlwind.

Who would have thought that an army of only 3000 people had one strong man far beyond the level of the Four Emperors: Luke, one strong man beyond the level of the Four Emperors: Xiaolong, and one strong man at the level of an admiral: Fuya.

There are 11 strong men at the level of brigadier general, 37 strong men at the level of lieutenant general, and over 300 strong men at the level of major general.

Among them, Lu Kai’s level has reached 74, attribute value, and Fu Ya’s level is 71, attribute value.

After obtaining the Transfer Fruit, Fuya's progress is no slower than Luke's. As for the little dragon's attribute values, Luke still can't scan them out.

Now, the weakest attribute value in the Iron Army exceeds 3000, and the basic attributes have reached the average level of brigadier generals in the Navy Headquarters.

Moreover, the use of the Navy's Six Styles, Observation Haki and Armament Haki is just standard in the 'Iron Army'. Everyone can do it. Even the giant Sato has overcome the obstacle of his size and not only mastered the Six Styles, but also proficient in it.
