Navy Headquarters, Marlin Fando.
The sky was gloomy.
The sea was unusually calm.
It was so calm that it made people feel uneasy, as if it was a sign before the storm.
Today,
For the navy, they were standing at the crossroads of fate.
No matter which direction you go,
It would change the entire world.
There was no other reason.
It was because the navy had captured Ace!
To be more precise, Blackbeard had handed Ace over to the navy on the condition of the Sea of Seven Martial Arts.
However, no matter what the process was, Ace was indeed in the hands of the navy now.
This was not only a bargaining chip, but also a bomb.
If used well, it would be unexpected.
If you don't use it well, you'll burn yourself with fire.
....
In Marshal Zhan Guo's office.
Karp, Advisor He, the Three Generals, and the other high-ranking officers of the navy were all here.
Zhan Guo paced back and forth as if he was weighing something.
After a moment, he stretched out two fingers and finally said,
"Two choices!"
"Announce that Ace is in our hands, welcome White Beard's anger, and officially fight the four emperors.”
"Or, we can execute Ace secretly. In short, the descendants of the demons must not be left alive.”
At the first moment, the warring states had blocked the news of Ace being detained in the navy.
To prevent White Beard from knowing in advance.
The current navy was not confident enough to withstand the wrath of the four emperors.
It wasn't that he couldn't beat them.
The navy couldn't afford to pay the price.
"Don't look at me, you make the decision.”
Karp wasn't very happy about this matter. He was no longer as carefree as before and spread his hands dejectedly.
After all, Ace was his grandson, and Karp was conflicted.
The red dog snorted coldly and said,"
"The first one, of course! He could use Ace to capture White Beard in one fell swoop!”
"It's time for the navy to have a show of power. Otherwise, these pirates who do all kinds of evil will really think that our navy is easy to bully.”
"All of you actually treat the bounty as a joke!”
Chi Quan was a hardliner, and his eyes were filled with the flames of war.
He clenched his fists tightly as if he could not wait to have a head-on battle with the four emperors.
The yellow ape leaned against the door frame and pouted while cutting his nails."
"Eh? This wasn't good. That white-bearded guy wasn't easy to deal with. He was the strongest man in the world.”
"Besides, White Beard has lived up to his reputation at sea for so many years. With a wave of his arm, who knows how many pirates from the New World will risk their lives for him.”
"How terrifying!"
"It's not a wise move to fight him head on.”
Huang Yuan was an old hooligan.
Naturally, they were not willing to do this kind of hard work.
Wasn't it nice to laze around in the office and drink tea every day?
The other party was White Beard, not a supernova. If they really fought, people would die.
Therefore, the yellow ape supported the second method.
Zhan Guo frowned slightly.
He looked at Qing Zhi and said,
"What about you? Don't you have anything to say?”
Qing Zhi stretched his lazy waist and thought for a moment before slowly opening his mouth,
"With the current strength of the navy, I'm afraid that we'll have to pay a huge price to take down the White Beard Pirates. It's hard to say who will win.“
" Moreover, the most troublesome ones are the other four emperors who are ready to make a move. I'm afraid that they're the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.“
"We have to ensure that while we deal with White Beard, we also have to deal with the other three Four Emperors…Create enough deterrence."
"If we fight with White Beard until both sides are injured, those three fellows will inevitably take advantage of the situation.”
"Therefore, after the battle with White Beard, we must preserve our strength to deal with another of the Four Sovereigns.”
"Unfortunately, our navy's current combat strength is not enough to do this.”
Qing Zhi was still very objective.
In short, the navy's current combat power was not enough.
If this battle went on, the best outcome would be to injure the enemy by 1,000 and suffer 800 losses. If one or two of the Four Emperors came, the navy would not be able to resist.
The consequences would be unimaginable!
The three generals expressed their opinions.
He just had to wait for Zhan Guo to make a decision.
Zhan Guo looked around at everyone,
Then, his gaze fell on the red dog.
"I have the same idea as Red Hound. We should use this opportunity to kill White Beard in one fell swoop.”
Everyone was silent…
As soon as he said this,
This surprised all the higher-ups of the navy.
This didn't sound like something that Zhan Guo would say. After all, Zhi Jiang Zhan Guo…He had always been more steady.
Under normal circumstances, Zhan Guo should be more in favor of Qing Zhi's idea.
Advisor He looked at Zhan Guo carefully.
Seeing that this old comrade did not seem to be joking, so...
He asked suspiciously,"
"You cunning old man, why are you so impulsive?”
Zhan Guo came to the window and looked at the naval soldiers who were on alert below.
After a moment, he said,
"With White Beard's intelligence ability, I'm afraid that no matter how much we block the news, he will probably know the secret that Ace was captured by us very soon.”
"Moreover, that Blackbeard fellow is also unreliable. This old man has a feeling that he has another motive, so there is a high chance that he will leak the news.”
"Now, we have no choice. That white-bearded fellow will come knocking on our door sooner or later.”
"Since we can't change this, why don't we take this opportunity to invite you into the trap and capture the White Beard Ship Group in one fell swoop?”
"Change the structure of the world!"
"Let the pirates fight internally because of the vacant positions of the four emperors!”
What Zhan Guo said made sense.
The situation in the New World was too stable now. The navy could not find a chance to break the situation. Only by breaking the balance between the four emperors and causing internal chaos among the pirates would the navy have a chance.
A wise general is a wise general, not for nothing.
Advisor He nodded.
"I didn't expect you to have already thought of this.”
"But…"
"Just based on this point, I will never let you make such a crazy decision!”
"You can't fool this old man. Is there something you haven't told us?”
Advisor He knew the Zhanguo Kingdom too well. There was only one possibility that could make a steady person like him make such a bold decision.
That was that the warring states definitely had some trump card!
A trump card that could guarantee victory in this battle!
Otherwise, Zhan Guo would not be so confident.
After all, on the surface, he was fighting against one of the four emperors, but in reality, he was fighting against all of them.
However, what kind of trump card could make Zhan Guo think that he could win this battle and even threaten the other three Four Sovereigns to not act rashly?
Zhan Guo paused for a moment, then laughed out loud,"
"As expected of Advisor He, you really understand me.”
"That's right, I've invited a foreign aid from the commander of the army, Gu Gukong.”
"Looking at the time, he should have already set off.。”
...
"Foreign aid? When has this old fellow ever been wrong? Just one external aid is not enough.”
Advisor He was stunned for a moment and muttered.
"Wait a minute, old man, do you mean that this person alone can give the navy the confidence to win?”
Advisor He gasped.
He was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw.
This was the first time the other generals had heard of this foreign aid, and they were all curious.
They knew.
Zhan Guo was not a person who spoke without thinking.
Since he could make Zhan Guo so determined to deal with White Beard and intimidate the Four Emperors…
That meant that this foreign aid was really extraordinary.
Just one person could give Zhan Guo so much confidence.
Who exactly was this mysterious foreign aid?
He had never heard of such a person in the army.
