Chapter 397 Sett's Decision(2/2)
Although he was not promoted to lieutenant general of the headquarters due to his strength, he also served as chief of staff.
Hearing what his old friend said, Akainu finally remembered the main purpose of this meeting. He gathered his thoughts and said in a heavy tone:
"The World Government cut off all military supplies to the navy a few days ago and refused to contact me..."
After hearing the whole story, everyone present was shocked, and then became very angry.
As the navy, they shed their blood for the World Government and sacrificed countless lives to suppress the pirates. As a result, they now see the end of the great pirate era approaching, and the World Government actually directly cut off the navy's military supply.
.
He even bypassed the navy marshal and directly won over the local navy's top brass. This kind of bad behavior is obviously unacceptable to any naval general with a righteous heart.
"Marshal Sakaski, just tell us what to do. As long as you say a word, we will go with you even if you force your way into Mariejoia!"
Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, who was a die-hard supporter of Akainu, was the first to stand up. He slapped the table angrily, as if he wanted to fly to Mariejoia and tear apart the Five Old Stars with his own hands.
“This is absolutely impossible!”
Before Akainu could reply, Sengoku stood up.
Although the situation was beyond his imagination, such straightforward use of violence obviously could not solve the problem:
"Now the outside world has no idea what the World Government is doing. Under such circumstances, if you try to force your way into Mariejoia, it will only make people who don't know what is going on think that there is a mutiny in the navy.
When the time comes for the world government to make decisions based on the overwhelming public opinion, we will no longer be justified."
"Then what should we do? Is it possible to do this? Which one of us doesn't have tens of thousands of mouths under his command? What should we do if we can't get military spending to feed and drink the lives of those under our command?"
If military pay cannot be paid for more than three months, who will be willing to fight side by side with us?"
As soon as Ghost Spider's words came out, the entire conference room fell into a strange silence, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Zefa and Qing Pheasant sitting on both sides of Seti.
What Ghost Spider said just now reminded them of an important issue that they had forgotten.
Isn't the situation of the neo-new navy the same as the current situation of the navy?
When the Neo Navy was established, no one was optimistic about it. In addition to the fact that they did not have a fixed territory, another important reason was that they had no official authoritative support and no stable supply of military expenditures.
Back then, someone boldly predicted that the neo-navy force would collapse within half a year.
But reality slapped them hard in the face. The neo-new navy could not help but not collapse. Instead, it stood firm in the new world despite the pressure from the four emperors.
As time went by, even they forgot that the Neo Navy was a private army with no official support or military funding.
Even Akainu cast a suspicious look at Aokiji, but Aokiji ignored him at all. It wasn't until his old boss Sengoku spoke that he muttered a name:
"Navoli Chamber of Commerce."
When they heard the name of the Chamber of Commerce, which everyone knew, everyone was shocked at first, and then felt relieved.
It turns out that this business giant provided funds for the neo-new navy, so it’s not surprising.
You must know that today's Navoli Chamber of Commerce is a money empire that almost dominates the entire pirate world, and is the well-deserved leader of countless industries.
If Tezzolo occupies 20% of the world's pele, then the Navoli Chamber of Commerce estimates that it occupies 40% of the world's pele.
It is indeed not a problem for the Navoli Chamber of Commerce to pay for the military supply of a neo-naval force after grabbing such a huge amount of wealth.
“I don’t know if the Navoli Chamber of Commerce can support our navy’s military supply. If it can, we might as well cooperate with the Navoli Chamber of Commerce.
By cooperating with them, at least you don’t have to worry about being ridden by the damned Celestial Dragons!”
Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel said angrily.
As the lieutenant general guarding the Chambord Islands, he had already had enough of the Celestial Dragons' cowardice.
"How is this possible..."
As soon as Akainu finished speaking, he was interrupted by a completely different answer:
"Of course there is no problem. Long-term supply may not be feasible, but it will not be a problem to support it for two or three years."
