Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Chapter 394: Forming the 4th Fleet

Shanks' appearance really surprised many people.

Especially some from the navy.

But soon, they became excited.

If that's the case, then the Four Emperors of the New World...

Only one left?

Whitebeard died during the war at Marineford.

Kaido was also killed by Luo Lan some time ago.

And now, I suddenly discovered...

Even Red-Haired Shanks became a King's man.

In this case, BIGMOM is the only one left among the Four Emperors?

In this situation, let alone King's Landing taking action, even if the navy relied solely on itself, it had the confidence to clear out the entire New World within three years.

Of course, Luo Lan doesn't have the time to wait for three years.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

"Today's meeting has only one theme, and that is..."

"Clear the entire New World!"

Sitting at the main seat, Luo Lan knocked on the table and spoke immediately.

Suddenly, many people became excited.

It really is this matter!!

What does a clean new world represent?

It marks the end of the Great Pirate Era.

Even though not all pirates were wiped out, it was definitely a landmark event marking the end of the Great Pirate Era.

The main generals involved in this incident will inevitably leave a deep mark in history.

Therefore, whether it was the people from the King's Landing or the people from the Navy, all of them had flushed faces at this moment.

Everyone looked at Luo Lan with eyes filled with desire.

"Don't look at me. The Third and Fourth Fleets will be responsible for this mission. The deadline is six months."

Looking around at everyone, Luo Lan said with a smile.

But in the conference room, many people were a little confused.

The Third Fleet, they knew.

The fleet commanded by Red-Haired Shanks, but what the hell is the Fourth Fleet?

Not to mention the people in the navy, even the people in King's Landing had never heard of the existence of the Fourth Fleet.

And how could Luo Lan not know about everyone's doubts?

"In fact, after the Third Fleet was formed, although the three major shipyards shifted their production capacity to patrol frigates and civilian ship orders, not all of them were used. Some docks were still reserved for building warships."

"Among these newly built warships, there are previous models as well as some new generation warships. The warships launched now are enough to fully staff an entire fleet. It's time to form the Fourth Fleet!"

"As for personnel, although the navy has been incorporated into King's Landing, it is still necessary to maintain the presence of troops in those sea areas before completing the handover of branches in various regions with the Knights of Order. Therefore, the only ones that can be mobilized for the time being are the approximately 80,000 people stationed in the New World."

"I have decided to base my base in Fudeweitian, select 2.5 elite marines from the marines, and send them to Rhodes Island for three months of intensive training..."

A few minutes later.

After explaining the general arrangements for the navy and the Fourth Fleet.

Luo Lan picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

And the next moment, someone raised his hand.

Luo Lan took a look and was surprised to see that it was Akainu. Was this guy going to cause trouble?

"Senior Sakaski, what's the problem?"

"I want to demote myself to Lieutenant General!"

???

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment.

That’s right, the senior leaders of King’s Landing had indeed discussed the military ranks on the navy side before.

You should go by their original military ranks, their strengths don't match.

After all, many lieutenant generals in Junlin now have the strength of a navy admiral or even surpass it.

Take Tina and Momotosagi for example, one has already entered the Four Emperors, and the other has reached the strength of the veteran Four Emperors, or even surpassed some.

Which one of them is not stronger than the three admirals of the navy?

Not to mention them, even Zoro and Ace, who are still major generals, are not much weaker than the three of them.

Therefore, it would indeed be somewhat inappropriate to retain the military ranks of the three people.

But you said you would strip me of my rank...

This is also inappropriate!

Finally, Luo Lan's idea was to retain their military ranks, but to train them fully for a period of time.

So that they can acquire the strength that matches their military rank in the shortest possible time.

Although it is still somewhat inappropriate, it should be the best choice for the current situation.

After all, their strength problem is not because of talent, but because...

They don't have such good conditions as Junlin.

In terms of talent, the three of them are definitely top-notch even in today's King's Landing.

And there is the Trial Island, the Gravity Training Room, and the Sea King-like meals that can quickly enhance the physical strength.

It wouldn't take too long, just about three months, for the three of them to catch up to the first echelon of Jun Lin. Luo Lan was very confident about this.

But he never expected that Akainu would bring it up himself...

"you sure?"

"That's right. In the past few days, I have sparred with Junlin's three generals and even many lieutenant generals. With my current strength, lieutenant general is a more suitable position. I can't afford to lose face if I continue to be a general!"

Akainu said seriously.

Luo Lan did not answer immediately, but looked at Kizaru and Aokiji.

After all, Akainu's proposal is not only related to himself. How could the two admirals like him stay out of it?

"I agree. We will fight for the position of general later, but we are not worthy of it at this stage."

This is Aokiji.

"Your lieutenant general Junlin's salary is more than that of the admiral of the navy. How scary."

This is Kizaru.

Hearing this, Luo Lan nodded.

"Even though you said that, let's do this..."

"I'll give you three months. When the Fourth Fleet is officially established, if you still can't reach the peak combat power of the Four Emperors, you will be demoted to Lieutenant General. Otherwise, you will retain your position as Admiral!"

"At the same time, I am also telling everyone that in three months, the number of Junlin generals will increase to nine. In addition to the three of them, the three strongest people among the others will also be promoted to generals."

"Of course, apart from the strongest three, if there is someone stronger than them, he can also take their place and become a general of King's Landing!"

"everything..."

"It all depends on strength!"

Expanding the number of generals was something Luo Lan had wanted to do for a long time.

After all, as Akainu said, many lieutenant admirals in Junlin have now surpassed the admiral level, and even surpassed the former Four Emperors.

Under such circumstances, it is obviously inappropriate to maintain the position of lieutenant general.

I am the King, not the world government.

The reason why the navy has always had three admirals is that the world government wants to control the naval power, so the three admirals system has been in place for eight hundred years and has never changed.

Otherwise, why do you think Aramaki and Yixiao didn't join the navy in the original work?

Do I have to wait until the general position becomes vacant before joining?

This is not nonsense!

Who would be willing to have the ability of a general but only be able to be a lieutenant general after entering the army?

From this we can also see that the system of three admirals greatly suppressed the strength of the navy, so that while it had great power, it would not exceed a certain limit.

As a result, this violent institution is firmly under control.
