One Piece: Shadow of the Navy
Chapter 220 Naval Meeting 2
Warring States glanced at the faces of the crowd and knew what they meant, so he didn't say anything more.
"I recommend Brigadier General Zhou Teng Cohen to be promoted to Lieutenant General."
Zhan Guo's words shocked Zhu Yuan, who was sitting watching the show. She turned to look at Zhan Guo above, with surprise on her face.
He who was sitting next to Warring States was also shocked by Warring States' words, but she didn't show it like Zhu Yuan did. She just turned her head and glanced at Warring States, then said nothing and continued to rest her chin on her hands on the conference table. on the table, his eyes staring at the table, not knowing what he was looking at.
Garp, who was sitting next to He, didn't show the slightest expression, as if he didn't care about Sengoku's words. He sat on his seat, holding donuts in his hand and kept putting them in his mouth.
Opposite the two people, Zhifa, Sakaski and Porusalino heard Sengoku's words. Among them, Zfa and Sakaski also turned their heads and glanced at Sengoku like cranes, with a hint of confusion on their faces. There was a look of surprise, and Porusalino looked up at Garp. He also had no look of surprise at what Sengoku said.
After Zhan Guo finished speaking, the entire conference room suddenly fell silent. It was obvious that the candidate he mentioned was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
"No."
Suddenly, a loud roar came out, and at the same time, a lieutenant general with a white beard stood up from his seat and looked at Warring States with a shocked face.
"To be directly promoted from brigadier general to lieutenant general, this is not from second lieutenant to captain, nor from major to colonel. This is general level. This has never happened? Marshal Warring States, this span is too big, cannot be mentioned .”
The old lieutenant general looked at Warring States and objected with a livid face.
Although Seng Guo was the marshal of the navy, and although Seng Guo's face gradually turned livid, he didn't care at all. He still looked at Seng Guo with a livid face and opposed the candidate he proposed.
This objection woke Zhu Yuan out of her surprise. She turned to look at the old lieutenant general, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her expression gradually became unkind.
However, she didn't speak immediately. She just looked at the old lieutenant general, waiting for Warring States who made the proposal to speak.
For a moment, everyone in the conference room was looking at the old lieutenant general. No one expected that he was so strong and dared to oppose the proposal made by the marshal.
Although the Warring States Period would not do anything to him, such blatant opposition would do no good to the boss and prevent him from stepping down.
However, looking at the old lieutenant general and thinking about the candidates proposed by Warring States, everyone became clear again.
"Lieutenant General Huntingl, there is a first time for everything. Just like the lieutenant rank and school rank you mentioned, no one has achieved it before, but isn't it already done by someone now?"
"Brigadier General Cohen is strong enough to serve as lieutenant general, and his merits also meet the conditions for promotion to lieutenant general. He can definitely be the first person."
Although his face was livid, Warring States recovered quickly, suppressed the dissatisfaction on his face, and spoke to Huntinger patiently.
"I've already said it, that's a lieutenant, a colonel, and this is a general, a lieutenant general. It's not something to be trifled with. What qualifications does he have for a little brigadier general to do this?"
Although Warring States patiently explained, his explanation did not satisfy Hunting Er. Hunting Er looked at him with stiff neck and still objected.
Looking at Huntingl, who was still strongly opposed, Warring States' expression gradually darkened.
Although Hunting had just been promoted to lieutenant general a few years ago, he had been in the navy and serving the navy all his life. Warring States originally planned to give him some face and patiently explain to him, not wanting to embarrass him too much, but Warring States I didn't expect him to be so stubborn.
Since the other party didn't know what was going on, Zeng Guo, who was becoming increasingly impatient, did not intend to give the veteran any more face.
He looked at the other party and said coldly, "Lieutenant General Huntinger, I remember that you have a son who is a major general, right?"
When Warring States suddenly mentioned his son, Huntinger was unable to react immediately as to what Warring States meant.
However, he also knew that based on his attitude towards Warring States just now, Warring States definitely did not want to consider his son.
"Although your son's merits are still low, since you don't accept my proposal to promote Brigadier General Cohen to Lieutenant General, then I will give him a chance. As long as he can defeat Brigadier General Cohen, I will promote him to Lieutenant General."
Before Huntinger could figure out what was going to happen, Warring States continued.
As soon as he heard this, Hunting'er's expression changed. Although he wanted to suppress Zhou Teng Keen, he had no intention of looking down on Zhou Teng Keen. He also heard about Zhou Teng Keen. Regarding the battle between Cohen and Garp, let alone his son who was far inferior to him in strength, even he himself did not dare to say that he could defeat Zhou Teng Cohen.
Warring States ignored Hunting's slightly changed expression and continued, "The two of them will compete. Whoever wins will be the lieutenant general."
"No, Marshal, how can such an important matter be decided by a so-called battle? Isn't this child's play?" Huntingl continued to object.
He didn't dare to let his son fight with Cohen. Considering the strength gap between his son and Zhou Teng Cohen, if Zhou Teng Cohen found out that he was against the other party becoming a lieutenant general, he would have doubts about his own destiny. There was no time to save his son.
"I'm giving you a choice, not letting you decide."
"Either your son has a battle with Brigadier General Cohen and wins, and he will become a lieutenant general, or you sit down and listen to other people's recommendations or propose your own candidates."
"Choose one of the two, take your pick."
Warring States ignored Hunting's objection, looked at him with a cold face, and said coldly.
"This..." Hunting'er's cold-looking Warring States man's face turned green and white, and his beard trembled, but he did not dare to speak, and he did not dare to let his son fight Zhou Teng Cohen.
Zhu Yuan looked at Warring States, then turned to look at Huntinger, looking at the other person's changing face, a smile appeared on his face, looking at him quietly, waiting for him to make a choice.
The other vice admirals at the conference table were also looking at Huntingl. Some looked at him with worries on their faces, while others looked at him with a joking look, with a mentality of watching a show, or even ridiculing him. Look at him.
Huntinger looked at Warring States, his lips murmuring, but speechless.
After a long time, he slowly sat back in his seat, his head lowered and his expression gloomy.
Seeing Huntinger sit down, Warring States ignored him and turned his attention to the others.
"There are still four vacancies. If you have any suitable candidates, please put them forward. We will discuss them together and finalize the personnel."
"Marshal, I recommend Major General Dauberman."
"Marshal, I recommend Major General Gumil."
There was silence for a while, and then the voices of recommendations rang out.
