Chapter 810 That Man
...
"what happened?"
The Five Elders were obviously displeased, but Ajin still didn't care. He imitated the man's tone and spoke.
"You should first clarify the Five Elders. Am I wrong? If you don't give me money, how can I pay the soldiers? Are you asking me to pay out of my own pocket? No one told me that being a marshal would also mean being responsible for the salaries of all the navy! Otherwise, I would not dare to participate in the election no matter what!"
"That's the salary of hundreds of thousands of people, and the annual expenditure is over 100 billion Baileys. What kind of family can afford it! Who would be willing to work for you with that much money? Admiral of the Navy? Haha, whoever wants to be one can be one!"
"Marshal Jin, please watch your words!"
Saint Vochuli said angrily, blowing his mustache.
"Haha, don't be angry, it's just a joke. Of course, I became the Admiral of the Navy for the justice in my heart!"
"Snapped!"
"Zizi!"
Ajin snapped his fingers, and used the blue-white high-voltage current that came out from between his fingers to light a cigar for himself. He blew out a smoke ring comfortably, then continued with a smile.
"But don't go too far! After all, I'm just a salaried worker, at most a high-level worker. This navy belongs to your world government! It's not mine!"
"Cough cough cough..."
The Five Elders felt that they should say something in rebuttal, but for a moment they didn't know where to start.
Especially the sentence "The Navy is the Navy of the World Government" made them admire you in their hearts, you are right! You have such a high political awareness at such a young age! The future is limitless.
"Although I'm bald, ahem..."
A # sign appeared on Nasu Shoulangsheng's forehead. Feeling offended, Ajin coughed twice awkwardly and changed his words.
"Although Nasujuro Sei just said that the internal affairs of the navy, the appointment and dismissal, rewards and punishments of admirals and below should be decided by me, but since you have questions about this matter, I don't mind talking to you."
"Snapped!"
As Ajin spoke, he took out a thick stack of documents and placed them on the table.
"This is the evidence of the crimes of those guys I sent to Impel Down. None of them are innocent and have been wrongly accused!"
Saint Satan glanced casually at the documents on the table and spoke.
"We don't want evidence to get them fired! What we care about is that you are making such drastic reforms as a new officer, which may make everyone in the navy feel insecure and eventually turn the navy into a mess!"
"Humph! A bunch of black sheep! Disguised as marines, they hide under the banner of justice to do evil. In my opinion, they are far more despicable than those murderous and arsonist pirates!"
Ajin said righteously.
"They are slapping me in the face like crazy. They are just shitting on my head. In the end, they ruined the reputation of the Navy and I, as the Admiral of the Navy, was the one being scolded. I still remember clearly what happened to Admiral Sengoku on the battlefield! I'm sorry! I'm young and hot-tempered and can't stand that kind of grievance, so I have to "suffer" them for now!"
"Besides, since you cut the military budget, the navy naturally can't afford to support so many people. You are bound to lay off some people, and at the same time you have to ensure that it does not affect your strategic goal of "enhancing the overall combat capability of the navy." You have to have both. Do you think it's easy for me?"
"Let all those idlers and people with connections in the navy be bastards, and eliminate all the termites and blood-sucking worms! This is the only solution I can think of at this stage!"
"After such a streamlined navy, not only will the overall combat capability not decline, but will also be significantly improved. More importantly, it can save a lot of expenses. I wonder if you are dissatisfied with such a win-win approach? Or do you have a better way to teach me?!"
Looking at the confident and eloquent young marshal, the five old men frowned even deeper.
In fact, they don't care at all whether this reform within the navy is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. The first thing they think of is that if one day the means of economic constraints no longer work on the navy, then how will the world government control the navy, the largest and most ferocious beast on the ocean?
wrong!
It's not that the tactic of cutting military spending is ineffective, it's just that this guy accidentally found a temporary solution to the problem. Military spending can continue to be cut, but the internal pests will eventually be cleared out. How can he deal with it then?
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise! Unless he really regarded himself as a high-level worker who could leave at any time without caring about the lives of the entire navy!
But how is that possible! As a naval admiral, how can you just drop the heavy burden on your shoulders? !
"Haha, I see. It seems that you have carefully considered this approach. It was us who were not thoughtful enough. That's why I said that you should come to Mary Geoise more often to attend meetings and communicate more face to face to reduce unnecessary misunderstandings."
The blond Five Elders spoke first, and with just two sentences he shifted all the responsibility.
"Also, regarding the navy's military expenditure, it is not that we intend to reduce it, but the finances have become increasingly tight in recent years. We are already trying to find a solution to this problem."
The bald Five Elders said this seriously, the round lenses on his glasses just reflected the sunlight, making it impossible to see the mockery in his eyes when he said this.
...
"Cough cough!"
Saint Satan adjusted his sitting posture and spoke in a serious tone.
"Okay, let's get down to business. It's about the situation on the sea! It's also about a certain man!"
There was no way. All the previous questions were easily resolved by Ajin. The Five Elders just wanted to end the meaningless first half of the meeting directly.
"Since the Battle of Marineford, the post-war order we have been trying to maintain has been completely disrupted by the appearance of a man!"
"Um?!"
Ah Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself that these five old guys finally couldn't help but attack Captain Gill. He must take note of their plan! Captain Gill must not be put in danger!
"Puff! Puff!"
As it concerns the safety of the most important person in his life, even Ajin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank water to hide his emotional changes.
"boom!"
Having said that, Saint Satan slammed a bounty order on the table.
I saw a man wearing a big red and white hat and with an extremely arrogant expression on the paper!
"Banned the fifth Pirate Emperor, let the pirates of the New World fall into a long-term struggle! And maintain the stability of various forces on the sea (the Navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Four Emperors of the New World, and the Revolutionary Army and the Brothers Army hidden in the dark). Our series of strategic goals may soon end in failure. It's all because of this man! The Clown King - Buggy!"
"Pfft~!"
Ah Jin spat out a mouthful of tea.
"Huh? What's that? Bucky?"
