Chapter 207: The Outward Disposition (Please Read)
"Get out of here. A formal order will be issued later."
Marshal Kong gritted his teeth and spoke out the decision on how to deal with Zephyr.
Everything was going well, the navy was developing at a rapid pace, the vacant admiral position had been filled, the chief instructor could guarantee the quality of the navy's subsequent forces, and it only took time for Zhan Guo to reach the position of navy marshal.
Now all three are in crisis, and the reasons are extremely absurd. If the world government, pirates or the public knew the truth, where would the dignity of the navy be?
The reputation of the navy is already difficult to maintain. If word really spreads that a navy admiral wantonly beats and kills a navy rear admiral, even if the rear admiral's adoptive father is another admiral, it will not be stopped.
The navy's recruitment work can be said to be of hellish difficulty. For the recruits who were already somewhat on the sidelines and wavering, their status was already very different from that of Washtor. But even if his status was already infinitely high, he was still treated like this, then what about ordinary people like them in comparison?
He has tried his best to conceal the truth of the matter, and told the outside world that the fight was caused by a personal grudge between Zephyr and Gallagher before he joined the navy.
The image of the Navy cannot have even the slightest stain on his hands.
"You too, let Zhan Guo go, I believe he can control himself"
Marshal Kong ordered Garp to let go of Sengoku and go out to close the door. He wanted to help Sengoku calm down.
"No"
Garp nonchalantly picked his nose with his free hand and answered decisively.
"Do you want to say something, too?"
Marshal Kong pulled over a stool and sat down to see what Garp's next reaction would be.
"There's nothing much to say. I have the lowest position in this room and the most negative information about myself. Anyway, I've never thought of losing my freedom in order to climb up, so let me say the harsh words."
After Garp finished picking his nose, he flicked the booger onto the ground.
"This incident seems to be the fault of Zefa and Gallagher, and it may also be due to some impulsiveness of Vashto, but if it were me, what I would do is not pull his ears, but kick his balls."
Garp let go of the hand that was holding down Sengoku, folded his arms over his chest and looked at Marshal Kong.
This explanation was his attitude. Washto was Sengoku's adopted son and had once been a combatant in his G2 division. They had eaten, lived and fought together at sea.
He knew the kid very well. He was very stubborn. He would train until he was lying on the ground. He was not very careful with his mouth. He said whatever he thought. He was not shy with him and Bogart, not to mention that he could get along well with the Marines in the branch during non-combat time.
But what he admired most was Vashto's sincerity, no matter what it was, he would not have too much unnecessary concealment, just like his training, others might say a lot of upright words, but he was very direct, and what he said was to be able to inherit his father's will and to justify his father's name.
Whether he was facing himself or ordinary Marines, his actions and words were consistent. This alone made him much better than Gallagher, who always said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
That's right, as a person who has always been at the forefront of the Navy's front-line combat personnel, Cap also looked down on Gallagher who sat in the office.
"We all understand what happened to Vashto's father. This is the decision of the Five Elders. No matter how we react, the water has been spilled and we cannot reverse it."
"If I didn't know the truth, I would have accepted the honor given to me by the world with peace of mind. But in the days after Zhan Guo confessed to me, every time I saw the child Washituo, I would think of his mother and his miserable childhood. Boren was not killed directly by me, but he died because of me."
"Regarding Zefa's matter, you can use the banner of maintaining the stability of the navy to prevaricate us, and you said that such things will never happen again. What about now?"
Capti brought a stool and sat opposite Marshal Kong. The distance between them was so close that they could kiss each other by just moving half a step forward.
What he wanted to do was simple, just to say what he wanted to say.
Marshal Kong is a political veteran who is too cunning. He keeps talking for so long, and the other party can pretend to listen carefully and seriously, but in fact, what he says goes in one ear and out the other.
Since the psychological distance cannot be shortened, he has to use the method of shortening the spatial distance to make Marshal Kong correctly understand his firm attitude.
"I admit that my political literacy is very low. I have always been proud of this. Anyway, I have low quality. If something like Zefa happened to me, I would definitely beat Gallagher to death, no matter who tried to stop me."
"I have already investigated the Zefa incident. It was caused by pirates. Why would you rather believe your own rash judgment than the investigation of your colleagues who have lived and died with you?"
Marshal Kong immediately refuted Garp's statement, even if something big happened, even if Gallagher jumped out and admitted that it was his family who did it.
He has to maintain a unified stance. As long as he doesn't give in, then that's how things are and no one can make a judgment.
"Okay, then explain the matter of Vashto."
Marshal Kong's tone was calm with a hint of impatience. Garp couldn't tell the truth about the Zephyr incident from it, but he was not discouraged by the failure of his attempt to get the truth out of him. He continued to ask questions quickly, not giving Marshal Kong too much time to react.
"I know about this matter. You are all very sad and angry. I am also angry and sad. Vashto is a promising talent of mine. I believe that as long as he can grow up, he can become the backbone of the navy and become an admiral or even a marshal."
"Therefore, I investigated this matter very carefully and cautiously. After I arrived at the headquarters, I questioned Gallagher, Kaji, Tu Yule, and some navy soldiers living in Building No. 3 in turn."
"By comparing the oral statements of multiple parties, I got the truth of the matter."
"Are you talking about jealousy between the two? Does this matter need to be investigated? Zhan Guo and I found out the first time."
Garp interrupted Marshal Sora's answer with a cold expression.
What he needs now is not just the truth, he needs Marshal Kong to clearly state his answer here, rather than covering up and giving everyone a slap on the wrist.
"Gallagher resigned from his position as Admiral due to illness and was assigned to the Navy Division as Vice Admiral Branch Chief; Zephyr was temporarily relieved of his position as Chief Instructor of the Navy Headquarters for five years and transferred to the World Government Operations Department."
"This is the apparent solution for the two of them. Now is the time to use them. They have made a big mistake, but it does not deserve death. The Navy needs them, and justice needs them."
Marshal Kong's emotions gradually became more and more excited, and his face turned red. This was the first time in his life that he was questioned by a junior in this way, which made him feel embarrassed.
