Chapter 430 Great achievements shock the Lord
Su Luo suddenly teleported in front of Doberman, slapped him hard on the face, and then pointed at the latter's nose and shouted: "You bastard, stand at attention and talk. I am the admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Can you call me by my name?
"My master is generous and won't argue with you, but I, Su Luo, can't do that. I hate people like you who don't know the difference between superiors and subordinates the most in my life. If you dare to overstep the line again, I will skin you alive."
Doberman covered his left cheek in disbelief, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking. This slap made him lose face, but he had no chance to argue.
The army has its own discipline, and the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates is very strict. In terms of position, Su Luo is Doberman's superior. The latter did violate military regulations today, and he deserved to be punished. No one can use this to blame Su Luo.
In the end, Dauberman didn't say anything else, and the meeting ended abruptly.
Lu Kai did not return to his station, but was detained. However, he was not handcuffed and was only detained in a symbolic sense.
In the Marshal's office, Zhan Guo's face was extremely ugly, because in his opinion, everything that happened today was obviously a frame-up against Lu Kai.
The four people headed by Doberman are all naval admirals who have been very close to Zefa in the past year, and their behavior in the past year cannot be said to be problematic, but it always reveals that something is wrong.
And Zhan Guo has been wary of Zefa over the past year, so naturally he thought that Lu Kai's so-called "crimes" did not exist at all. This matter from beginning to end was a conspiracy planned by Zefa to bring Lu Kai down and expel him from the navy.
Then why did Zefa deliberately frame Luke and expel him from the navy?
Zhan Guo told his idea to Vice Admiral Tsuru who was sitting next to him. Vice Admiral Tsuru shared the same idea as Zhan Guo, and Vice Admiral Tsuru also put forward his own guess.
In her opinion, Luke's loyalty to the World Government and the Marine Headquarters is unquestionable. After all, they have watched Luke grow to where he is today.
Not only is there no personal grudge between Lu Kai and Zefa, but their relationship can be said to be very good.
But now Zefa wants to exclude Lu Kai so much that he wants to kill him. There is only one reason for this, and that is that Lu Kai's existence is a threat to Zefa.
If Zephyr was loyal to the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, Luke would never be a threat to Zephyr. The reason why Zephyr regards Luke as a threat is naturally because he is already disloyal to the World Government and the Marine Headquarters. There must be ulterior motives behind his many strange behaviors.
Combined with Zephyr's past experiences and his changes, Vice Admiral Tsuru speculated that Zephyr's ultimate goal was to control the navy and overthrow the World Government. This was the biggest possibility she could think of.
Regardless of the fact that Vice Admiral Tsuru liked to plan for the worst and prepare for the best, she told Sengoku about these thoughts.
After hearing this, Zhan Guo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, but this was the most reasonable explanation he could think of at the moment.
After Vice Admiral Tsuru left, Sengoku called the Hall of Power and told the Five Elders this speculation directly.
After listening to Zhan Guo's words, the Five Elders just said lightly, "I know," and hung up the phone, as if they didn't take the matter to heart at all.
When Zhan Guo saw the reactions of the Five Elders, his heart sank.
As the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku is the person who has the most contact with the Five Elders, so he knows their behavior and way of thinking best.
The Five Elders love the art of checks and balances and are always pursuing balance. Sometimes this balance is as big as the entire world, and sometimes it is as small as a civilian force.
The reason they do this is so that they can manipulate things from behind and better control the world.
However, the current situation in the world is out of the control of the World Government. This feeling of losing control will cause the Five Elders to infinitely magnify any possible threats.
Lu Kai is a threat to the Five Elders, and this threat has nothing to do with loyalty or not.
Moreover, it is not important to the Five Elder Stars whether Lu Kai is guilty or not. What is important is that Lu Kai’s strength, prestige, and influence are too high, which makes them feel fearful.
In fact, the Five Elders had always believed in Lu Kai’s loyalty, but they did not believe in human hearts. They always felt that human hearts would change.
So when the Five Elders saw the report stating Lu Kai's crimes, they panicked.
If Luke changes his mind, it will be a huge disaster for the World Government and the Marine Headquarters. Even if there is a 1% possibility, they will have to pay attention to it, because Luke really has the ability and influence to subvert the world.
Of course, if it were in the past, fear and the report alone would not have made the Five Elders act so decisively, because if they wanted to deal with Lu Kai, they would have to bear the corresponding consequences.
The confidence of the Five Elder Stars comes from the Seraphim, and since Lu Kai has not yet recovered to his peak strength, this is the best opportunity for them.
As for Zephyr? The Five Elders admitted that what Sengoku said made sense, but so what? In their opinion, Luke was much less threatening than Zephyr, and the Five Elders, who had Seraphim, did not believe that Zephyr could cause any trouble.
Of course, the Five Elders had no intention of becoming direct enemies with Lu Kai. In fact, they had other plans, and once this idea could be realized, Lu Kai would not be their enemy, but he would no longer be a threat. Instead, he would become the most useful knife in their hands.
Zhan Guo had no idea of the Five Elders' overall plan, and he nearly exploded with rage after hanging up the phone.
Zhan Guo knew that Doberman and others were targeting Lu Kai today with the instructions of the Five Elder Stars. In his opinion, the Five Elder Stars obviously wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate Lu Kai, a possible threat.
Even if we can't kill Lu Kai, it would be good to expel him from the navy. It would be better than him changing his mind after he has completely controlled the navy, which would make the situation even worse.
If Zhan Guo sued Zefa at this time, the Five Elders would think that he was on Lu Kai's side and wanted to deliberately exonerate Lu Kai, but he must also make his guess clear to the Five Elders.
He is the admiral of the headquarters of the navy and has his own responsibilities. If things really turn out as he wishes, if Luke is really squeezed out, and his guess about Zefa is true, he dare not imagine what will happen, but he will never watch the worst happen.
He also knew that his act of protecting Lu Kai and allowing him not to wear shackles today had caused serious dissatisfaction among the Five Elder Stars, and had already brought trouble upon himself. Although the Five Elder Stars also knew that no one could do anything to Lu Kai if he was unwilling to wear shackles, they were still dissatisfied.
In the past, the Warring States had always believed in the Five Elders' argument that eliminating a few people was for the benefit of the greater number.
If it was someone else who was wrongly accused in this matter, Zhan Guo might have fully supported the Five Elders, but Lu Kai was not only a loyal subordinate to him, but also like his own son or nephew. Zhan Guo simply could not bring himself to accuse Lu Kai of a crime and then kill him when he knew that he was innocent.
The principles that the Warring States had always believed in were also shaken at this moment. Is it really right to eradicate a few people for the sake of more people? Then why can some minorities have the highest privileges in the world and enjoy everything in the world without restraint?
Zhan Guo was shocked by the idea that came to his mind, but once an idea comes into being, it will spread like weeds and cannot be controlled at all.
Inside the cell under surveillance, Lu Kai sat cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed. As a special prisoner, he was ordered not to allow anyone to visit him.
