Chapter 824: Seizing the Young Master
...
"Ugh!"
Ain also sighed and continued.
"The current situation is indeed very unfavorable for us. These are some of the main reasons I have summarized. We can all think of solutions together."
"First of all, our NEO Navy was established not long ago, and we don't have much fame or recognition on the sea."
"Secondly, we are not as powerful as the navy, with sufficient manpower and material resources. We cannot establish branches in various sea areas and then continue to recruit soldiers in the areas through these branches."
"Plus, we are now on the move and cannot stay in one place for too long. So even if someone sees our recruitment notice and wants to join us, unless they have the strength to go out to sea alone like Mr. Jin, it is almost impossible for them to have the chance to join us!"
"The last point, which I think is the most troublesome, is that the anti-corruption and anti-bribery campaign launched by the Navy and the series of reforms it has promulgated are too powerful!"
"I heard that Marshal Jin directly assigned a large group of young people who are not afraid of power and are full of energy to work in the inspection team. The inspection team is now a sharp knife hanging over the heads of all parasites. It is no longer a good place for retired navy cadres to retire."
"To the outside, all navies, including the Four Seas Division, the Grand Line Branch, and the Navy Headquarters, actively accept supervision from all ordinary people. We have also opened a special reporting hotline, letter complaints, media newspapers and other reporting channels. Once the reported naval borers are verified, they will be dealt with seriously immediately!"
"... "
"There are many other new policies. The implementation of these new policies has enabled the Navy to quickly regain the trust of people all over the world. The banner of 'justice' has also gained unprecedented appeal and cohesion!"
"I don't know how Marshal Jin came up with so many things! And he was able to implement them despite the pressure from the World Government! It's really amazing!"
Ian couldn't help but talk, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. He couldn't hide his admiration at all. After praising them profusely, he remembered that the navy was now their competitor. He seemed to have got his position wrong, so he could only touch the tip of his nose awkwardly.
"Ah this!"
Binz's mouth dropped open.
"Why do I feel like since you, Mr. Zefa, led us to withdraw from the navy, the navy has been reborn and become very different?!"
"Hey! Binz!"
Ian hurriedly stopped his pig teammate from spreading salt any further.
"Ah... sorry!"
Binz reacted and apologized quickly.
"Teacher Zefa, I don't mean to blame you..."
"Cough cough!"
Zefa's face turned slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was because he was drunk or ashamed.
Very meow!
Is this still the same corrupt and incompetent navy? Why has it become so unfamiliar in just a few months? If I had known that changing a marshal would have such an effect, why would I have left the navy and established a new naval organization?
Isn't this just eating without suffering?
Zefa was also shocked by the series of actions taken by the young marshal after he came to power.
"Hahahaha! You don't need to apologize. Even I have to admit that this brat Ajin did a great job!"
Zefa even suspected that Ajin had anticipated the current situation and guessed that the new naval organization he wanted to establish would never be successful, so he deliberately gave him a large sum of money and let him mess around?
"Damn it! I was underestimated by this brat! Hahaha!"
"Gudong, gudong!"
Zefa picked up the bottle, took a few gulps and then laughed heartily.
When talking about this disciple, he cursed at me, but his face was full of pride.
"Ain, your analysis is very good! For those righteous people who want to become a soldier, the current navy is still their first choice compared to the NEO Navy that they have never heard of!"
"However, we will never give up easily. As long as the Navy still obeys the World Government, they are destined to slowly betray the word "justice" behind them! Then it will be the time for our NEO Navy to catch up and surpass them in all aspects!"
Zephyr said, clenching his fists.
"What we need to do now is to keep calm and continue to expand the power of the NEO Navy! Enhance the reputation and influence of the NEO Navy!"
"Teacher Zefa is right! Then everyone will understand who can represent justice!"
Binz said excitedly after finishing a bowl of chicken soup.
"Well, but Mr. Zefa, I think the most urgent thing is that we should think of other ways to recruit soldiers."
Ian reminded with a sad look on his face.
They are the navy and can only join voluntarily. Unlike pirates, they can't expand rapidly through forced looting or annexation of other pirate groups. But now, they can't compete with the navy in terms of manpower. They can't even recruit people, so how can they grow and develop?
"Yeah, manpower is indeed the biggest problem we are facing now!"
Zefa rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.
"I'll think of a way to deal with this. You've all been working hard during this period. We're short on manpower, and each of you has to take care of so many things. You probably haven't had time to rest properly."
"We're fine. You're the one who's working the hardest, Mr. Zefa."
As Ai En spoke, he turned his head and looked at the man who was grilling meat nonchalantly, and smiled.
"Fortunately, Mr. Jin has joined us, otherwise we might be too busy to handle it."
"Hahaha, indeed, I didn't expect that the first person to join us would be the admiral candidate for the NEO Navy!"
Zephyr said with a laugh.
"Come on, have a drink, Jhin!"
Zefa raised the bottle.
Thinking back to the first time they met, even Zephyr was surprised and even a little skeptical when he learned that Jhin had traveled thousands of miles alone just to join the NEO Navy!
In the end, because the Lunalia clan had an irreconcilable hatred with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Zephyr reluctantly agreed.
However, after this period of getting along and observing each other, the two sides gradually established trust.
"Ok!"
Jhin nodded and picked up the bottle and drank it all. Then he took a few pieces of roasted sea king meat from the blade and distributed them to the three people.
"Thank you, Mr. Jin, but I won't use it for now. I'm not hungry yet."
Ein looked at the knife in Jhin's hand, and couldn't help but recall the bloody scene where he used this knife to chop an entire ship of pirates into a pile of parts not long ago. He could only politely refuse.
Zefa and Binz picked up the barbecue and started eating it.
"It's delicious! I'll help you eat it if you don't want to eat it, Ain!"
Binz said happily.
After eating and drinking, the taciturn Jhin sat by the campfire, wiping his sword while listening to Zefa and the other two discussing what the NEO Navy should do next.
Different from the three people who looked distressed and frowned, Jhin had a relaxed expression, thinking secretly in his heart, you just go forward boldly, actually everything has been arranged already!
...
next day
Before Zefa could walk out of the tent, he was blocked by Ian and Binz who rushed in in a hurry.
"Teacher Zefa! Quick! Come with us!"
"What...what happened?"
Seeing the two of them gasping for air and looking anxious, Zefa couldn't help but frown and asked.
"Teacher Zephyr! Someone's coming! Someone's joining our NEO Navy!"
Binz shouted.
"Hahaha! As expected! I knew there would be heroes on the sea who share the same ideals as us!"
Zefa smiled happily.
"Although we have stayed here for half a month and have never hidden our whereabouts, the fact that he was not afraid of the dangers of the sea and overcame numerous difficulties to come here alone is enough to show that he also has a firm sense of justice in his heart! Hahaha! Let's go! Take me over to see him!"
"No, teacher! It's not just one person, it's many, many people! At least tens of thousands!"
Ain said excitedly.
"What? You mean Young Master Duo?"
Zephyr's eyes widened in disbelief.
