The Great Route, Marin Vando.

In the conference room, the core layer of the navy has been concentrated here, except for Akainu and Aokiji going to the Shinsekai G branch.

There is only one issue for them today...

The promotion of the 18th branch!

Originally, the promotion of this kind of East China Sea branch did not require them to intervene at all. Lieutenant General Zavala, who was in charge of the Four Seas Branch, could directly make the decision, but the Eighteenth East China Sea Branch was an exception, because...

According to the battle report submitted by Taotu last night, the military merits obtained by the eighteen branches, plus the previous...

It has exceeded 3 billion!

What is this concept?

According to the rules and regulations of the Navy, this has reached the conditions for promotion to the second-class branch, which is the same level as the G8 branch!

This is not just a matter of changing the rank of a branch, the headquarters also allocates 3 billion Bailey to this branch every year...

If it were a great route or a new world, it would be fine, but this branch is in the East China Sea, and even within the East China Sea, it is the most remote corner that even pirates are unwilling to visit.

This is a bit ridiculous. What's the point of spending 3 billion Baileys every year to support such a branch?

So there was such a meeting of core high-level gatherings!

"Pffhahahaha, Warring States, I told you at the beginning, wait and see, but you have to push Li Yan out so impatiently, if it wasn't for Zefa to beg you, you would even want to let it go. He retire directly, is this a slap in the face?"

Karp's mood is a mess right now. According to Taotu's battle report, in this battle, his grandson Luffy killed 4 pirates with more than 50 million, and the rest who had bounties killed more than a dozen. , This is coupled with the previous military achievements, it is not too much to be promoted to a brigadier general!

Although the direct promotion of Brigadier General Warring States would probably not agree, a colonel would never escape, and all of this was brought about by Li Yan.

Therefore, Garp has now turned into Li Yanchui, and since last night, he has ridiculed Sengoku no less than ten times about this incident!

"Tsk tsk... Little brother Li Yan is really scary. He was exiled by the headquarters for only three months, and he has completed the accumulation of 3 billion military merits!"

After Karp finished speaking, Kizaru immediately followed the formation with an exaggerated expression on his face.

In fact, if you only consider killing the enemy with your own hands, the Eighteen Branches will not be able to get 3 billion military merits, and the total amount will only be more than 2 billion.

But the problem is that Taotu asked Li Yan to command. According to the military merit system, even if the commander of a battle did not kill any pirates, he could still get 30% of the total military merit of the battle.

Of course, the premise is that there are no obvious mistakes in the command, and the navy is led to victory.

And in those 27 pirate groups, all the pirates who offered bounties added up to more than 2.2 billion Baileys. From here, they obtained 30% and then added Talos' 215 million, which just pushed the military merit of the 18 branches to 3 billion. Bailey mark.

This Warring States has a big head.

Not to mention the Eighteen Branches, Li Yan's military merit is even higher than that of some lieutenant generals in the navy!

He didn't look at the results in the main seat, his face turned black when he was told by Garp and Kizaru...

"Shut up, you two bastards!"

"Zefa, tell me what you think, after all, he is your disciple!"

After glaring at the two of them, Warring States looked at Zefa, who was at the side of the old god, and asked.

"I, what opinion can I have, as long as you don't deliberately suppress Li Yan, the rest...anything is fine!"

What do you mean by not deliberately suppressing...

Zefa, the bastard, meant that I should do things according to the rules.

If I really want to do this, I will hold a ghost meeting?

I just want to hear from you guys, is there a reasonable way to suppress this matter? I can't really give Li Yan a lieutenant general, and then give Nuoqi a major general, and then give him that under his command. There are several brigadier generals and a lot of school grades in the crowd, right?

The key is that Li Yan's 18th branch, excluding the sailors sent by Smog for training, there are only a few dozen people in total, and besides the dozen or so people who stay behind the branch, there are a bunch of other captains?

The most exaggerated thing is that the 100 sailors trained in the 18th branch will all return to Rogue Town with the rank of colonel...

That picture is too beautiful to imagine!

Well, this picture is really too beautiful, you know, according to the original book, after more than a year, Da Siqi is only a sergeant, and then there are a hundred recruits, and the worst is a second lieutenant...

This is simply a dog!

"Warring States, I don't think this is as difficult as you think!"

"Well, what do you say?"

Seeing Crane who suddenly spoke beside him, Sengoku quickly asked.

Sure enough...

At critical times, the crane is still reliable, and everyone else can save their minds.

"Actually, the key is the same question as last time. Do you think that the promotion of the 18th branch of the East China Sea to the second-class branch is purely a waste of the limited military expenditure of the navy, right?"

"Yes, that's what it means. If it's a great route or a new world, do I need to be so annoying?"

Nodding his head, Sengoku deeply agreed with what the crane said. Sure enough, the crane understands himself!

"Then, have you ever thought that after you allocate 3 billion yuan to a second-level branch every year, you expect them to use the funds to achieve results?"

"Of course it's catching pirates!"

"That's it, what else do you have to worry about?"

"What's the meaning?"

Warring States looked confused, what is it, what is it, what is there to be confused about?

Why can't I understand it at all?

"Alas, so, don't limit your thinking to places, but to results!"

"For example, for a branch of the same rank, you allocate the same amount of money every year, but a branch from all over the world can catch billions of pirates every year, while a branch on a great route can only Catch more than a billion pirates."

"Then, what do you think?"

Still holding his chin on his hands, Crane said slowly.

"This analogy is inappropriate, because this kind of thing is impossible to happen. How could the Four Seas Branch catch billions of pirates a year, and so on... Why are you all looking at me like this?"

He directly denied the crane's metaphor, but before he could go on, the Warring States found that everyone in the conference room was using a strange look...

Look at yourself.

"Is it really impossible, do you want to stop thinking about it?"

Just when the Warring States period was a little stunned, Crane made another shot.

At this time, the Warring States period finally reacted. Didn't the crane speak of the Eighteen Branches?

Moreover, let alone a year, they have achieved 3 billion military exploits in three months!

"Warring States, you have to think about this in a different direction. All branches are like branches of our navy. You need to see which branch is more profitable, not where the branch is opened!"

"Even if it's in an uninhabited place, as long as people have enough profitability, it's necessary to exist, isn't it?"

It makes sense, it makes sense.

Warring States found that he could not refute at all.

If you understand it simply, the annual allocation of the headquarters to each branch is like an investment. You care where Li Yan does business. The point is that Li Yan can make your investment have a good return~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the most important thing. important!

"Okay, I understand!"

"But what about the rank issue? After all, it's too exaggerated to have so many generals in one branch."

After the decision was made, Sengoku didn't say more, and instead asked about the military rank.

"This is simple. According to the military rank that can be obtained by actual military merit, it is then awarded by one level down on the grounds that one's seniority is still inexperienced!"

"After all, rising too fast is really not a good thing!"

"In this case, no one can say anything!"

Crane replied without thinking.

In fact, the core idea of ​​the headache in the Warring States period is that the marines of the headquarters look down on the marines of the branch, especially the marines of the four seas.

As a result, a branch from all over the world suddenly awarded a large number of generals and colonels, which will definitely attract some criticism from the Navy, even if you are awarded according to military merit...

Then, if you are downgraded by one level, on the one hand, you won't be promoted too quickly, on the other hand...

It can also block the mouths of some people in the headquarters, or even in other places.

"Well, that's the decision!"

"The 18th branch of the East China Sea was officially upgraded to a second-class branch, and Li Yan was awarded the rank of major general, and at the same time, he was appointed as the Admiral of the East China Sea, in charge of all the naval branches of the East China Sea!"

"As for the military ranks of others, after counting their military exploits, they will all be downgraded by one level!"

"At last..."

"Smog's 100 sailors are not suitable for returning to Rogue Town at this moment. Let them stay in the Eighteen Branch!"

After pondering for a moment, Sengoku added again.

That's right, it's good to concentrate on the 18th branch in this special case...

Don't go to harm Rogue Town again!
