"no problem!" Smoker also understood that he couldn't become the boss directly in Rogue Town. Under normal circumstances, when vacancies occur in the Sihai branch, priority will be given to internal filling, especially the important position of base chief. On the one hand, the internal officers are more familiar with the situation of the branch and can take over the work quickly. On the other hand, if the commander of the airborne base is in charge, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the branch lieutenants. If the headquarters sends officers abroad, they will first serve in the branch for a period of time before being considered for succession. "Loya!" Smoker's eyes were sharp. Let him reveal the guy's true face! Is he going to carry out justice to the end as he longs for, or is he the same as those trash who are fighting for power and profit? Chapter 71: Rogge Town Base Chief Loya
Chapter 71: Head of the Rogue Town Base—Loya The Execution Square was washed for a week before the red ground faded and returned to its former appearance, and the damage caused was also restored to its original state. It was not until then that the quiet town of Rogue regained some of its liveliness. Branch, base commander's office. The windows were wide open, letting in a cool breeze. Loya sat in front of the coffee table, stacking stones he had picked up at random, concentrating on stacking them, with the Marines' slogans echoing in his ears. The number of marines in the branch is much less than before, but the slogans are louder, and after the baptism of life and death, the marines' morale is more condensed. A truly elite division! Finbudi appeared at the door with a thick document in his hand. "Boom boom boom!" "Come in." Finbudi came to the coffee table and handed over the document with a smile on his face: "Major, no, Colonel! Your promotion approval has come down." "Well, let me see." Loya picked up the document and flipped through it casually. His contribution in destroying the Arlong Pirates earned him two promotions to branch colonel, and he served as the base commander of the Rogue Town branch. Pretty much what he expected. However, we cannot be careless. The Navy Headquarters should have noticed his little tricks, but they are far away and have no evidence, so they can't do anything to him for the time being. But the headquarters will definitely take action. "really!"
Luo Ya turned to the last page and laughed at the silver-haired man with a fierce face, as if everyone owed him money. What is supposed to come will eventually come! It’s the famous Smoker! The Rogue Town branch suffered heavy damage, so the Navy Headquarters sent Colonel Smoker to serve in the Rogue Town branch in the name of support. Nominally his subordinate. But in terms of position, the colonel of the headquarters is obviously higher than him, the colonel of the branch. Whether he can order Smoker around or not will probably depend on his fists. And once Smoker finds evidence that he killed Murak and others, he will most likely replace him and take over Rogue Town. I think this is what the headquarters meant. If there is no problem, everyone can compete for the top spot based on their own abilities. If there is a problem, they will be directly banned. "Smoker!" Loya was somewhat happy. Smoker was his favorite officer, no doubt about it. A big part of the reason why he applied to come to Rogue Town was to meet Smoker. The reason is very simple. Although Smoker is just, he is not pedantic. He dares to confront his superiors bluntly, attack the allied Seven Warlords of the Sea, and even question the actions of the World Government. In Loya's opinion, the navy lacks talents like Smoker who dare to draw their swords! If all the navy were to obey the orders of the World Government like Marshal Sengoku, there would be no hope for the future of the navy. Loya put down the approval document and asked, "How is the pension for the fallen soldiers?" "All have been distributed, without any omissions." Finbudi looked gloomy. Although most of the soldiers who died in the battle had a grudge against them, they were comrades who had fought together after all, so they couldn't help feeling sad. However, that's how the navy is. As long as there is war, there will be sacrifices, but this time the casualties will be greater. If you cannot adapt to the death of your companion, you may collapse first. Loya nodded slightly. "How are the properties of Brigadier General Murak and the Captain being seized?" “It’s being verified.” Fenbudi cheered up and informed Loya of the verification results. Murak has ruled Rogue Town for many years. He not only controls many gray industries, but also buys a large number of real estate. His private hoard of cash exceeds 500 million Baileys. In short, very rich. Loya pondered for a moment and ordered: "Use this wealth as an additional subsidy for the branch and distribute it to the families of the marines who died in battle."
"Yes!" There was a smile on Fembdi's face. Along the way, he was well aware of all of Loya's actions, but the crazy actions of Rogue Town really scared him, worrying that Loya would fall into the trap of wealth and status. Now it seems like I was worrying too much. "Go." Loya waved his hand and walked to the window to overlook the Marines in training. He liked money very much, but he only took what belonged to him. Besides, he was not short of money and he stayed in the branch all day and had no need to spend money. Although it is insignificant, he still hopes that the money can go to those in need, at least within his means. Next we have to clean up Rogue Town, but before that, there is one very important thing to do. "Big recruitment!" The next morning, the branch's marines posted recruitment notices along every street in Rogue Town. The density is comparable to that of small advertisements. The force configuration of the Roge Town branch is 1000 marines, and the maximum number can reach 1500, but now there are only more than 500 people, and it is difficult to ensure even the most basic rotation of duties. We must recruit soldiers as soon as possible to fill the vacancies. Otherwise, when the pirates appear, there will not be many troops to mobilize. However, the results were not ideal. For three consecutive days, the number of new recruits joining the branch was less than 100, and the response from the people of Roge Town was quite cold. New Food Pub. Loya was leaning against the bar, holding a glass of beer in his hand. Lilixiang stood at the bar, wiping the dust off the bottles, and complained, "The guests nearby are so scared that they are even cautious about going out for a drink, and of course they don't dare to join the navy." "I see." Loya suddenly realized. He only thought about improving his treatment, but forgot the most primitive fear of human beings when facing death. When he joined Branch 153, it was a similar situation, and there were few new recruits at the same time. As for the solution. Go to other islands to recruit soldiers, or win a few beautiful battles, which will naturally build up the people's confidence in the navy. That’s fine too, compulsory conscription! Luoya had an idea in his mind. He drank the wine in his hand and prepared to leave to visit an old lady. Before leaving, he looked around the store.
"By the way, where's Zoro?" "He left the day before yesterday. That brat always goes out for at least three days. I don't know what he does when he's out there." Lilixiang couldn't help but complain. Zoro is now 16 years old. In her eyes, he is like a younger brother. Although he is very powerful, he is a complete rookie in life. He even has to look for a long time every time he goes back to the tavern. "Yeah, I got it." Loya nodded in understanding. The boy must have lost his way again. It seems that we need to build a training ground as soon as possible, specifically for Zoro to use, in case we can't find him when we need him. Loya waved his hand. "I go first." "I'll wait for you to come back in the evening!" "understood." The streets are much quieter than before, and the gangsters who used to be everywhere are nowhere to be seen. The underground forces in Rogue Town are well aware that the newly appointed base chief is a ruthless man who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes, and he has caused chaos in Rogue Town before. Just when they were worried and considering whether to move out of Rogue Town, an invitation was delivered to them. "Eh? An invitation from the Navy?" The new base commander, Colonel Loya, invited them to visit the branch and emphasized that anyone who did not give face would bear the consequences. "Could it be." The bosses of various forces looked pale. Could it be the Hongmen Banquet? Chapter 72 I won't allow anyone to be more arrogant than me East Street of Rogue Town. Luoya walked in the middle of the street, attracting the attention of many residents, but the strange thing was that the people around him did not look at him with awe, but some even looked at him with disgust. This is because this is the territory of the Batto Club, the largest gang in Rogue Town, and it is a lawless area that even the navy cannot easily enter. Compared with the incompetent navy, the people here are more willing to trust the Barto Club. Although they have to pay protection fees, the Barto Club will also protect them. "Hey, a strange face!" Two brightly dressed young men stopped Luoya, staring at him with a gangster look on their faces, trying to make themselves look more terrifying. "Navy, you are not welcome here!"
"." Loya looked at the two of them. Very young, sixteen or seventeen years old at most. Tattoos, permed hair, nose ring, and messily cut clothes, a typical nostalgic style of "Shamatte", make him feel nostalgic for the passage of time. According to the branch intelligence, the members of the Batto Club are basically such Shamatte young men, and their age is generally under 20 years old.
