Chapter 180 Refused to be promoted to major general
Things are much better than Longinus expected. With this incident, his reputation in the headquarters has been catching up with the three of Sakaskis.
Even in the eyes of those who don’t know about it, he is a super new star who is even more powerful than the Lieutenant General of the Three Monsters.
This situation does not mean that Sakaski and the others have never captured any big pirates.
The reason why it became like this is because their deeds are far less legendary than Langhinus.
In order to capture the pirates who escaped from his hands, he worked hard for two years, then rose up and broke into the enemy camp alone, and finally killed the thief leader Valdo at the cost of the destruction of an island and the burial of nearly 10,000 pirates.
This experience is undoubtedly more in line with the people's fantasy of heroes, especially when Waldo was a big pirate who once competed with Roger Whitebeard and others. Such experiences are even more epic and legendary.
Only such ups and downs of epic legend will be passed down by someone.
...
Although things were going well, Longineus's heart would not be happy about it, and he still responded to everyone's greetings as humbly and gentlely as usual.
"Col. Longineus is so gentle. Like Lieutenant General Cape, he has no airs to everyone!"
"Or it's probably the inheritance of heroes! However, your name will probably change soon."
"I know, I should call Brigadier General Longinus or Major General Longinus when I see you next time!"
"If it were someone else, I would definitely not be convinced that I could be promoted to the rank of general at such a young age, but if Colonel Longineus had just crossed the lieutenant general, I would not have any objection."
"That is, from the moment Colonel Longineus dared to kill a king for some ordinary people, I have been the Colonel's loyalty in my life!"
Longinus calmly walked towards the Marshal's office, as if the whispers behind him, either admiring or admiring, could not even disturb his pace.
In the Marshal's office, the familiar three giants sat inside it.
Marshal Cangbok, who is responsible for reflecting his sense of existence, the intelligent general of the Warring States Period, and the melon-eating crowd who is responsible for "surveillance".
"Langhinus, sit down first."
"yes."
"Speaking of this, you have been in the headquarters for three years." Sora praised, "I didn't expect that I would give me such a big surprise before graduation. Your killing of Valdo this time has purified the chaotic sea a lot."
"I'm just making up for the mistakes I made before, and nothing to praise."
"It's not a good thing to be too humble. In this regard, you should really learn from Karp."
"Haha! That's right, I've always been..." Cap was saying, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Marshal Kong's words were about to turn around and say that he was thick-skinned, right?
"But you have also given me a big problem."
Kong sighed and said, "I originally planned to promote you to brigade general with your achievements after you graduate, but after you get this, I feel that I will be unfair to reward and punish you if I don't give you a rank of major general."
"But, the seventeen-year-old major general..." Kong shook his head, not knowing what words to describe it.
The earliest promotion record of the Navy was set by Kuzan, a 21-year-old Brigadier General, a 24-year-old major general, and a 27-year-old lieutenant general. This record is actually shocking enough.
You know, although their promotion speed may be similar, the shock they gave people is completely different.
And the words of the seventeen-year-old major general in Longineus can only be described as exceptional!
"Master Kong, in fact, this is also the main thing I plan to say today." Longinus smiled, "Please don't improve me by the matter of Valdo. If possible, I hope to advance step by step with my true achievements."
"Are you planning to refuse to be promoted to major general?" Kong glanced at Cap while a little surprised. One of these two people refused to be promoted to major general and the other refused to be promoted to general. Is this military rank poisonous?
Cap nodded complacently. This kid can finally understand his majestic personality charm!
"Yes, please!"
Naturally, Longinus did not choose to refuse because of the reason he gave, but considered it from a deeper level of interests.
Just by strength, let alone major generals, even most lieutenant generals may not be as strong as him.
But the navy is different from pirates, and the level of qualifications is a consideration that cannot be ignored.
Although many people are convinced that he becomes a major general, there is always a thorn left deep in their hearts. Once the seeds of jealousy and resentment are planted, it will not be so easy to take out.
Although such things are harmless, for Longines, who pursues perfection, he does not want any stains on his resume.
Moreover, humans are originally a very strange creature.
If he is promoted to major general, many people may be dissatisfied and resentful, but if he is promoted to brigade general, the same group of people may feel that there is a shady situation and turn the slightest move for him.
In a sense, the seventeen-year-old brigade general is a bit shocking, but in this way, most people may think that it is too aggrieved to become a brigade general at the age of seventeen!
Many people probably will make up for him the image of a tragic hero.
What's more, with his strength and achievements, even if he learns from Kizaru, he can be promoted to major general in one or two years.
Therefore, there is no need for him to influence his reputation within the Navy for one or two years.
Obviously, Sora is one of the kind of people mentioned just now.
He felt that he had passed the promotion to major general, but when Longinus refused to be promoted, he felt that the brigade general was too unfair to Longinus.
"It's a headache! Why can't there be a quasi-major general?"
"Master Kong, you don't have to be too embarrassed. This is my own choice. If you capture pirates just to promote the rank, it will lose its true meaning."
Longinus said without blushing, "What's more, being able to become a brigade general at the age of seventeen is the greatest recognition of me!"
"Oh!" the honest man sighed, "Okay, I just feel wronged!"
After thinking about it, Kaoru decided to add, "At least one or two years, I will give your military rank to Major General."
This time, Longinus naturally would not refuse, "Thank you, Marshal Kong, I will definitely work hard to make myself worthy of this identity."
"Haha! If I weren't worried about the dissatisfaction of others, I would have planned to directly promote you as a lieutenant general. At least, you are much more reliable than someone who is busy waiting to die!"
