Chapter 8 Zefa, who recruited recruits
This time Zefa left the naval headquarters Marin Vanduo and drove three large warships, one of which was fully staffed.
The other two ships only have basic staffing, the purpose is to bring the conscripted recruits back.
Visited most of the great route, but the situation of recruiting recruits is not optimistic.
The reason is also very simple. Now the number of pirates in the sea has increased, and the pirates have become extremely vicious, and the danger of becoming a navy has increased rapidly.
The recruitment of recruits on most islands is bleak. After all, if it is not for the fact that they cannot survive, or have a deep hatred for pirates, most people are unwilling to do this kind of bloody job.
Most people who can't live well will not choose the navy, but more choose pirates and bounty hunters.
The same is to tie the head around the neck. The wealth that the pirates collect is obviously much stronger than the meager wages of the navy.
A little moral bottom line, those who don't want to be pirates, more will become bounty hunters.
The same is to kill pirates, but the rewards of bounty hunters are much higher than those of the navy, and they are more unrestrained.
It is also for this reason that Zefa's recruitment mission to sea this time was actually not quite ideal.
Especially after experiencing that kind of thing, Zefa's requirements for the quality of the navy are quite bumpy. Those who purely want the navy to mess around, Zefa basically doesn't like any of them.
This also led to the fact that the two warships that were originally empty were not even filled with new recruits, which was obviously far from the target given to him by Admiral Kong.
In fact, a major general who accompanied him secretly told Zefa more than once that the standard should be lowered appropriately, otherwise they would not be able to complete the mission of Marshal Kong this time, and they would be punished if they went back.
However, Zefa did not intend to follow the proposal of the major general's deputy, and acted extremely tough. Zefa also expressed that he didn't care about the so-called punishment at all.
Originally, I planned to resign, but it was only after I was retained that I finally stayed to train new recruits in the navy.
If the admiral is upset, he can find someone else to do the job. I didn't even want to do it, so I'm afraid of the so-called punishment?
If the navies to be confiscated are all guys who have no sense of justice and just want to eat and wait to die, I am not willing to teach such people.
Hearing Admiral Zefa's words, the rear admiral on the side also sighed helplessly, feeling that this year's bonus and chances of promotion are mostly useless, and he should be the one who will be criticized this time.
Zefa is an admiral of the navy. As one of the heroes of the navy, his peaches and plums are spread throughout the entire navy headquarters. In addition to his character of hob meat, he is completely qualified to be a top iron, but he is not a rear admiral...
However, just as the rear admiral was about to persuade Zefa again, a navy hurried to the deck to report.
Report to Admiral Zefa, Major Admiral Kadalu, found a pirate ship at the port of Hongye Island, judging from the flag that the other party should be the rookie pirate group Iron Arm Pirates from the South China Sea.
Its captain is the bounty pirate of the Navy Headquarters, Iron Arm Cook with a bounty of 20 million Berries.
Hearing the report of the navy soldiers, Zefa and the rear admiral named Kadalu were obviously stunned.
They passed the Gate of Justice and sailed for many days in the first half of the great voyage.
But they really haven't met the so-called pirate group, so when they heard the report from the navy soldiers, the two obviously became interested.
The reason why I didn't encounter other pirate groups was not because there were few pirates in the first half of the great route, but because most of the pirates chose to flee early after seeing the three large naval warships from a distance.
The large warships of the Navy Headquarters cannot be driven by any naval sergeant.
Generally, the colonel of the naval branch owns medium-sized warships at most, and the admirals sitting on large naval warships are generally at least at the level of major generals.
This is only the first half of the great route, and most of the active here are newcomer pirates.
Seeing three large naval warships clearing the way, unless you can't think about it, there is no way for pirates to hit this way.
Because Zefa's mission this time is to recruit recruits, they will not deliberately chase after the pirates they encounter and deviate from the course.
So every time it was just a few symbolic shots. If they were shelled, they could only blame the opponent's bad luck, and once they escaped the shelling range, Zefa and the others would not deliberately go after them.
Iron Arm Pirates? Pirates that I have never heard of, but the bounty can reach 20 million Baileys. In the first half of the great route, it should be considered a figure.
Inform those on board to prepare for battle and make sure not to let these nasty pirates escape alone.
Red Leaf Island is one of the places where the Navy branch is scheduled to be established. At the same time, the mangroves on the island are also important resources, so it is necessary to ensure the safety of the residents on the island.
Zefa is a general of the navy headquarters, and Kadalu is also a major general. They really can't remember the little guy who offered a bounty of 20 million Bailey.
Even for Zefa, even if it is a pirate with a reward of over 100 million, if the other party is not particularly awesome, Zefa can't even remember the other party's name.
But regardless of whether the Iron Arm Pirates are powerful pirates or not, as long as they are pirates, they are undoubtedly a huge threat to ordinary people on the island.
Especially from a navy soldier, when he got the Iron Arm Cook information he just obtained from the headquarters, and saw all the evil deeds of the Iron Arm Pirates, Zefa at this moment exuded a terrifying breath.
According to the information, the Iron Arm Pirates committed all sorts of murders and crimes, and have poisoned several islands in the South China Sea one after another.
Especially when he saw that the other party didn't spare even children and had an extremely cruel personality, Zefa was reminded of some bad memories, and his expression became even more selective.
General Zefa, the priority now is to wipe out the pirates on Hongye Island as soon as possible. Please issue an order as soon as possible.
It was also the first time for Major General Kadalu to see the terrifying aura emanating from Zefa. As a teacher, Zefa has a very kind personality, and it was the first time he saw General Zefa so angry.
Leave some people to protect the recruits on the warship, and another part to burn the pirate ships in the port, and the rest will go to the island with me to enforce justice!
Communicate my order to all warships within one minute. For every second you waste, an innocent islander may die tragically at the hands of the damned pirates.
Immediately after leaving such an order, Zefa jumped up from the deck with Kadalu's surprised expression, and rushed to Hongye Island alone on the moon steps.
