Chapter 132 Military Rank

Time always flies by.

Soon, the whole morning disappeared.

One p.m.

At this time, in the largest conference room of the Navy Headquarters.

Admirals from the Navy Headquarters wearing the cloak of justice kept walking in.

In a short period of time, more than twenty officers from the Navy Headquarters had gathered.

Among them were the three generals of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, as well as the hero Garp, the Chief Staff Officer He, the Chief Instructor Zefa, and even the former Navy Marshal”Cyborg” Sora, all came to the conference room.

Not long after, most of the people were already sitting in the huge conference room.

Seeing that people were almost here, Seng Guo, who was sitting in the front seat, coughed lightly and knocked on the table, making the conference room quiet.

Looking around at the quiet people in the conference room, Zhan Guo said with a serious face:”I believe that many people here already know the purpose of my holding this meeting. I won’t waste everyone’s time here.”

“This meeting is an impromptu title conferment meeting that I convened���”

“After discussions between the Marshal and I, we unanimously decided to accept the request of former Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Lieutenant General Ron, to reinstate his military rank.”

Having said this, Warring States paused, nodded to Ron, and then continued to look at the crowd and said

“If the generals have no other opinions, then we will conduct the conferring ceremony for Lieutenant General Ron.”

The Navy pays attention to persuading the public.

Before an officer can be commissioned as a general, the majority of senior officers must agree.

Generally speaking, this kind of disagreement is just a formality.

After all, those who can be promoted are basically those whose military achievements or strength have reached that level.

You know, the recent marshals of the Navy are not the only ones with strong connections.

However, generally speaking, the investiture ceremony is held on a fixed day every year.

It is precisely because of this that the conferment day is also called promotion day by people at the Navy Headquarters.

A temporary first meeting like today’s held specifically for the sake of a person’s military rank has never happened in the history of the Navy.

This shows what kind of position Ron occupies in Sengoku’s heart, and that Sengoku would do such extraordinary things for Ron.

More importantly, this awarding meeting was not held for promotion, but for Ron, who had been retired for nearly twenty years, to return to the Navy and to restore Ron’s rank of lieutenant general.

Some people even heard the news that Marshal Kong would make an exception and award Ron with the rank of honorary general!

This is something that has never happened before in history.

After a brief silence, Sora, who was sitting next to Ron, patted Ron on the shoulder.

After Ron nodded, he walked to the open space in the center of the conference room.

The space of the conference room is quite large, making the open space in the middle of the conference room not too small.

After Ron reached the center of the open space, Seng Guo took out the lieutenant general’s epaulettes and formal cloak that he had prepared and walked over.

But at this moment, a voice that did not fit the scene sounded from the corner.

“Marshal of the Warring States Period, I have an opinion!”

Hearing this voice, Zeng Guo frowned and put the foot he had just raised back down again, his face obviously unhappy.

But then, he restrained his emotions and looked in the direction of the sound.

Other eyes in the conference room also looked away.

Anyone who dares to have an opinion at this time must be said to be very brave.

Doesn’t this person know the status of Mr. Ron in the hearts of the Warring States Period and others?

It can be said that those who have objections to this investiture ceremony are equivalent to having objections to the entire senior leadership of the Navy Headquarters.

“Major General Carmackie, what do you think?”

loadAdv(7,3);

Warring States looked at the person who made the noise and asked with a frown.

As a naval marshal, Sengoku was known as a wise general and could remember the personal information of all officers above the rank of lieutenant in the entire navy.

The moment he saw the person who made the noise, Major General Carmack’s personal information had already appeared in Sengoku’s mind.

Kamaki, forty-six years old, joined the Navy 28 years ago. He has been working in the North Sea for the past 24 years. Five years ago, he ate the buffalo fruit and became a devil fruit user. His strength improved greatly. He was promoted to rear admiral years ago and was transferred to the Navy Headquarters as a subordinate of Admiral Akainu.

His personal strength is outstanding, and he is at the top level among the major admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

Sengoku narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why did Sakaski’s subordinates jump out against him at this time?

After hearing this, Major General Kamaki stood up from his position, gave a military salute to Seng Guo and other officers, and then said

“Marshal of the Warring States Period, I know that Mr. Ron is your mentor, as well as the mentor of Lieutenant General Garp, Grand Instructor Zefa and others. He has shouldered justice and worked hard for decades, and has made great achievements for the navy.”

“But after all, Lieutenant General Ron completely retired decades ago. Now he wants to return to the Navy Headquarters and shine for justice. I, Carmack, also support Lieutenant General Ron’s behavior from the bottom of my heart.”

“But retirement means retirement. Isn’t it inappropriate to directly restore Ron’s rank as Lieutenant General?”

“After all, if his military rank is restored, Lieutenant General Ron will be more than just a retired old man.

The Marshal of the Warring States Period must understand the meaning behind military ranks better than all of us. in the case of……”

Having said this, Carmack suddenly hesitated.

However, even if he didn’t say it out loud, everyone else understood what Major General Carmackie meant.

He was telling everyone that he believed Ron’s strength was no longer worthy of the rank of lieutenant general.

After expressing what he meant, Major General Carmack looked directly at Warring States. Even when Ron turned to look at him with a surprised expression, he did not show any guilt.

Because he felt that what he said was correct.

Marshal Sengoku wants to restore the rank of Lieutenant General Ron, and even give Lieutenant General Ron the honorary rank of general. Rumors have spread in the Navy Headquarters a few days ago.

It is not surprising that the Warring States Marshal could do this.

But what Carmack didn’t expect was that Marshal Kong actually agreed to this matter.

This was completely beyond Carmack’s expectations.

As we all know, the Navy Headquarters has the highest combat power. There are always three positions for admirals, but the position of lieutenant admirals is also fixed.

If a major general wants to be promoted to lieutenant general, one of the lieutenant generals must abdicate.

No matter whether the lieutenant general retired or died in battle.

But only if the position is vacated can the major general below have the opportunity to rise.

In recent years, most of the navy’s vice admirals are in their prime, and very few of them can retire.

With Carmacki’s strength and military exploits, it would be very difficult for him to compete for the few pitiful positions among the outstanding major generals.

But now, Marshal Warring States and Commander Kong have directly restored the rank of Ron, who has been retired for decades, for their own selfish purposes.

Moreover, he was directly restored to the rank of lieutenant general.

Ron occupied a position with the rank of lieutenant general for no reason, so wouldn’t the probability of him being promoted be even smaller?

He is 46 years old this year.

Although I got the Devil Fruit a few years ago, my strength has improved significantly.

But as he grew older, Carmack felt that his strength had begun to decline instead of advancing.

If he cannot be promoted to lieutenant general in recent years, then he will never be able to achieve that position in his life.

For the sake of his own future, Carmack had no choice but to speak out.
