Chapter 420 Preface to the Award Ceremony (7/8)
Compared with the chaotic and noisy new world, the Navy headquarters has become a sea of cheers.
The Navy Headquarters, which are usually solemn and serious, rarely have as happy and lively as they are now.
Because everyone knows that the rank ceremony will begin in three days.
The Navy Headquarters is about to enter a new chapter.
This is a large-scale celebration that can only be held once in ten years, or even more than ten years. Therefore, in addition to newspaper reporters, friendly forces from all sides have also sent visitors.
For example, the guard of the city, Changyu Shiliu, the three presiding judges of the Justice Island, Xist, the director of the Operations Department of Cp0, and King Cobra, King Liku and others from the major franchisees.
In fact, Director Magellan also wanted to attend the rank ceremony of his good friend Longineus, but unfortunately, his idea was protested by the whole city.
It's so embarrassing that they don't want to carry the mobile toilet to appear at such a large celebration!
As for the three presiding judges of the Justice Island, nominally, as well as the Marshal of the Armour, the Chief of the CPC, and the Administrator of the City, they didn't care at all.
Even the world government does not value the justice itself, but only cares about the process and results, which makes the existence of the three of them just as puppets.
Therefore, the purpose of the three of them is very simple, just to come and meet the big guy and hug them.
And Sister, of course he didn't come here to make trouble.
Just like the doves and hawks within the navy, there are also partisan divisions within CP0.
If waste like Spandam can enter CP0, naturally, don’t expect the internal harmony of the CP power structure.
Just like the first meeting between Longineus and Sister, he clearly has the strength of CP0 but can only lurk as CP9, which is naturally the result of internal strife.
This kind of factional struggle is actually acquiesced by the Five Old Stars. During peacetime, they do not want to see an overly powerful leadership appear.
Xister is another faction in cp0.
As for those kings, their purpose was as simple as the three presiding judges of the Justice Island. Yes, they also came to hug them.
Although it is the navy's obligation to protect the franchised countries, this protection still has a considerable scope of activity.
At the same time, the vital forces of the Navy Headquarters and major branches are also returning one after another.
Now, there are more than 100 general-level officers gathered at the Navy headquarters, and there are so many powerful auras that they are about to break through the sky.
If we use a passage from Longineus' memory to describe it, it means that the lieutenant general is everywhere, and the major general is not as good as a dog, and the general is all ants.
In addition, the Shanghai Army is unprecedentedly strong at this stage. When these forces gather together, they are undoubtedly strong enough to the point where even the world is terrified.
Longinus clearly saw the horror and fear in the eyes of those "friendly troops".
"The Navy headquarters is really too powerful!" Xiliu's face was calm, but she thought to herself.
"How do I feel that any major general sent by the Navy headquarters can push the Judicial Island even if he sends a random major general?" The three presiding judges looked at each other and then showed a flattering smile. "With the protection of the Navy headquarters, our Judicial Island no longer has to worry about security issues!"
"No wonder those idiots in Benedict always want to overwhelm the navy. This kind of power is indeed fearful!" Sister also thought to himself.
Everyone knows that the navy is very strong, and this navy is an unprecedentedly powerful one, even more shocking than the golden generation of Zefa, Kap, the Warring States Period.
But the lineup that was shown in front of them was still a bit too strong!
"Fortunately, I prepared the Pirates World Expo before the rank ceremony, and pulled out all the forces hidden under the tip of the iceberg." Longines secretly rejoiced.
"With the Four Emperors, the lone red, the devil's heir, the underground world, and even the eager hunter guild to pave the way, the naval forces now displayed should not be too unacceptable!"
He worked hard to create such a farce, not to cause trouble for himself.
...
There are still two days before the ceremony begins, and the audience members from all parties are almost here.
"Godfather!" A little girl with short sea blue hair stood behind Cobra, poked her head out and said hello in a soft and glutinous voice.
"In a blink of an eye, our Princess Vivi has grown so tall!" Longinus rubbed the girl's broken hair, then picked her up and raised her high and said.
"Wow!" Wei Wei shouted excitedly, quickly forgetting the strangeness she had before.
Longinus is half a body taller than Cobra, and Vivi, who was picked up, can even look down at her father. For the naughty little princess, this is a novel and exciting experience.
Seeing that Vivi adapted so quickly, Cobra was also very happy, "Lieutenant General Langhinus is indeed as friendly as before!"
"To be honest, it's because my godfather has done too much!" Longinus shook his head and sighed, "I will only go back to see Vivi once a few years."
"Lieutenant General, don't say that. Compared to protecting justice, Vivi's matter is nothing."
Cobra said and became a little excited, "I have heard that Lieutenant General, you have been committed to fighting pirates over the years, and even big pirates like big mom and Golden Lion have been defeated by you!"
Cobra's face turned red. He didn't really understand the situation in the new world, but he just went to ask someone to find out what these two names mean.
Vivi glanced back and forth between her father and godfather with a surprised gaze. This was the first time she saw her father so excited.
That excited and admiring look seemed to be the same as the first time she saw Bell transform into a big bird and fly into the sky.
"It is the responsibility of the navy to crack down on pirates, and there is nothing to be praised for." Longineus smiled.
"It's Lieutenant General..."
"You are too modest!"
Cobra, who was intercepted, looked behind him in dissatisfaction, and was talking to a strong king.
He also knew this man, and he was King Liku of Dresrosa.
Behind King Liku is his two daughters, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
"King Liku, do you know Lieutenant General Langhinus?"
"Of course! Lieutenant General Langinus saved Dres Rosa twice!"
Langinus shook his head slightly, "You say this, I feel ashamed of myself. I only saved Dres Rosa once, and brought you corresponding disasters."
"Lt. General Langhinus, although I am a king with mediocre ability, I can still distinguish between right and wrong. It is big mom who brings disaster to Dressrosa, and it is Lieutenant General you who brings peace to Dressrosa.
King Liku said with emotion, "And I also heard that it was Lieutenant General you won a large amount of post-disaster reconstruction funds for us, and even Lieutenant General you donated all your property."
Chapter completed!
