Secrets and Reputations
1859 Words
"This is the governor's wife of the Yadis Kingdom!!"
As the words fell, Gion seemed to feel ashamed, and a flush of anger dyed her cheeks red.
Darrin, this jerk, actually did such a thing that was indecent in the navy base. For Gion, who grew up in the headquarters and was educated by the "pure justice" of Tsuru, it was simply unacceptable and intolerable.
Not to mention, she also has the responsibility of "review" and "supervision" when she came from the headquarters this time.
If this kind of thing is spread out, how bad the impact on the reputation of the navy will be!?
Darrin... It's a disgrace to justice!
Unexpectedly, the instigator Darrin looked like nothing had happened, a charming smile appeared on his face, and he slowly stood up:
"Oh, it turns out to be Major Gion and Major Tokikake, coming from Marineford, it's really hard."
He bit the cigar in his mouth and stretched out his hand generously.
"Welcome to the North Sea 321 branch."
Gion looked at him coldly, with no intention of shaking hands.
Darrin shrugged his shoulders and took out a cigar, handing it to the sneaky Tokikake.
"Major Tokikake, I've heard a lot about you."
Tokikake saw the cigar handed over by Darrin, and his eyes lit up.
The cigar was branded with gold patterns, clearly a high-end cigar from the West Sea, specifically for the nobility.
He subconsciously wanted to take it, but seeing the fiery eyes of Gion, he immediately retracted his hand.
"Hey, Darrin... Is this woman really the governor's wife of the Yadis Kingdom?"
Tokikake asked in a low voice.
Darrin smiled but did not speak.
Tokikake immediately gasped.
Damn it!!
He cursed in his heart.
He had seen the appearance of Mrs. Marguerite, mature and charming, and still in the prime of life, and it was so easy for this guy!?
How can it be! I'm more handsome, why don't I have such luck!!
The most important thing is that it's the governor's wife!
This identity... just thinking about it is exciting... cough cough...
Tokikake couldn't help but gnash his teeth and say:
"Colonel Darrin, your approach is not very good."
The tone was somewhat sour.
Gion turned her head and glared at Tokikake, then turned around and bowed deeply to Mrs. Marguerite, who was hiding under the quilt:
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Marguerite, this is our navy's negligence."
"This incident, I am a member of the inspection team from the headquarters, Major Gion from the Navy Headquarters, please rest assured, we will definitely investigate Colonel Darrin's misdeeds and punish him severely!"
As she spoke, Gion made a vow in her heart that she must report this matter to the headquarters, and there must be no such bad apple as Darrin in the navy!
At this time, Mrs. Marguerite cautiously poked her head out of the quilt, took a look at Darrin who was smoking a cigar standing there, a trace of shyness flashed through her charming eyes, and she said in a low and soft voice:
"That... Major Gion, actually, I volunteered."
"I... I like Colonel Darrin very much."
Gion was stunned.
Tokikake was dumbfounded.
They originally thought that Darrin used his strength or power to force Mrs. Marguerite to comply.
But I didn't expect... This is actually voluntary?
Wait a minute!
They thought of the official ship parked at the port.
This, this... Is it a takeaway delivered to the door?
"Well, two guests from the headquarters, let's not hinder the rest of this beautiful lady."
Darrin said with a smile at this time.
He casually put on a new military uniform, put on a large cloak, and raised his head to indicate the direction outside the door.
"Let's go to the office to discuss the important matters, please."
...
321 branch, base chief's office.
The gray walls are adorned with a huge plaque, on which the vigorous and dynamic characters of "justice" are outlined.
Darrin sat on the main seat without any politeness, lighting a cigar while saying:
"Major Gion, Major Tokikake, give me some good news, has my appointment come down?"
As he spoke, he seemed to be looking at the two people in front of him casually.
This is the first time he has seen these two future "candidates for the admiral" after crossing.
Gion is tall, with a pair of long, white, and slender legs, without any extra fat.
Her black hair is tied into a high ponytail, matched with a large navy cloak, her eyes are dark and bright, and she looks heroic.
The beauty mole at the corner of her mouth adds a bit of charm to her.
It's just different from the impression in the animation, Gion is only about 18 or 19 years old at this time, and she still looks quite green, but she has already begun to show her charm.
As for the nearby Tokikake... well, quite shabby.
He stood there with a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in his pockets, occasionally glancing at the cigar on the table, looking how to look how shabby.
He is only about 20 years old, but he has a "vicissitudes" that only people in their 40s have, and he looks a bit anxious.
They are all young officials of the second generation...
Darrin felt a little emotional in his heart.
Tokikake is fine, and his background is relatively approachable.
Gion is a real "second generation."
It's not to mention the amazing talent, the background is too high.
The great staff of the navy headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru, treats her as a younger sister, and the great general of the Warring States takes care of her, and she can be said to be the chosen one who grew up spoiled by the navy's big guys.
Even the "strongest navy," "hero" Garp, is called "little Garp" in her mouth.
This kind of treatment is really too much.
People compare people, and people die.
He has struggled from the bottom to the rank of colonel, and Gion's first mission at sea is to start with a major.
Not to mention, everyone can see at a glance that Gion and Tokikake came to the North Sea this time, seemingly to perform tasks, but in fact, they came to gold plate.
When they return to the headquarters after a few months, they can directly enter Zefa's officer training camp, and they can enter the core decision-making layer of the navy after graduation.
It's really enviable.
But it is obvious that Gion and Tokikake at this time are still quite young, with a kind of pride and naivety unique to young people.
It's quite normal.
Hearing Darrin's words, Gion, who was still angry, snorted coldly and took out an appointment.
"Congratulations, Colonel Darrin, from this moment on, you are the supreme commander of the entire North Sea Navy."
Darrin took a look at the appointment -
Appointment
From today, the base chief of the North Sea 321 branch, Colonel Rogers Darrin, is the Admiral of the North Sea!
He smiled with satisfaction.
The position of Admiral is only established in the four seas outside the Grand Line, and it is a specific position with the rank of Colonel of the headquarters.
The Admirals of the East, South, West, and North Seas have the highest command over all the naval bases and just forces under their jurisdiction, and are directly responsible to Marineford in the headquarters, and are the most powerful figures in the four seas.
Although whether there is this appointment or not, it doesn't have a significant impact on his power, after all, the entire North Sea Navy is already under his control.
But besides Garp, who would dislike their position being high?
Moreover, with the title and position of the Admiral of the North Sea, some things can be done more conveniently.
'That guy Sakazuki still keeps his promise...'
Darrin muttered to himself.
"Thank you both."
He raised his head and said with a bright smile:
"I don't know how long the two of you will stay in the North Sea?"
Gion said lightly:
"Long is half a year, short is three months, depending on the review time."
"Colonel Darrin, for the sake of confidentiality, during this review process, the identities of Major Gion and Major Tokikake as members of the review team will be kept secret throughout the process, and the unified external statement is that they are your adjutants."
Darrin said with a smile:
"No problem, Gion, then please take care in the future."
The naval military academy at this time has not yet reached the scale of later generations, adopting the "training camp" form, selecting the elite from the Grand Line and the four seas for selection and training, rather than starting from the new recruits.
Therefore, the selection standards for the officer training camp are very strict, and the review system has emerged.
As long as the review is passed, he will be selected to go to the headquarters to join the officer training camp, trained by
the former navy admiral Black Wrist Zefa, learn the navy six forms, and even the domineering, become a real strong man!
Finally, you can rely on this resume, accumulate enough political resources, and soar in the navy system!
Darrin then turned his head to look at Tokikake and handed him a cigar.
"Well, please take care of Tokikake."
Tokikake looked at the gold-plated special supply cigar, even in the headquarters, he has not smoked such a good product, feeling that the cigarette in his mouth is tasteless.
"That... Gion..."
He looked at Gion eagerly.
Gion rolled his eyes in annoyance,
"Smoke it, smoke it..."
"Okay."
Tokikake happily took the cigar, lit it eagerly, and directly smoked it in a Yu Qian-style blissful manner.
At this time, Gion suddenly asked in a cold voice:
"So Colonel Darrin, you still owe us an explanation for what just happened."
"Even if Mrs. Marguerite is voluntary, your approach will have a bad impact on the reputation and atmosphere of the navy..."
"And considering Mrs. Marguerite's identity as the governor's wife of the Yadis Kingdom, your behavior may also lead to a serious diplomatic incident."
Tokikake heard this and also pricked up his ears, staring at Darrin with a look of watching a good play.
Hum, I'll see how you explain.
He has known Gion for many years and naturally knows the latter's character.
Under the influence of Tsuru's "pure justice," Gion's eyes can't tolerate any sand.
You kid, let you be so proud!
Also, smoke such a good cigar!
Well, to be honest, this cigar is indeed quite flavorful...
"Gion, there is no need to explain this issue, right? Isn't it very reasonable?"
Darrin's face showed a "innocent" expression.
"I care about the people... military and civilian cooperation."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Tokikake, who was smoking a cigar, almost choked to death, his face turning red.
He raised his head and looked at Darrin in shock.
Caring for the people?
Military and civilian cooperation?
This...
This...
This... It seems to make sense!?
Why didn't I think of such a perfect excuse, no, reason before!?
