Pirate General Akainu

Chapter 78 Sophistry
Kong looked at Sakaski, and asked: "Sakaski, you are a junior I am very optimistic about, embezzling spoils of war privately, this is a serious violation of military discipline, if you really did it, if you admit it now, I will deal with it lightly, but if you do it and refuse to admit it, after you find the evidence, you will be charged with a higher crime."

Listening to Kong's tone, it is obvious that he is also suspicious of Sakaski, hoping that Sakaski will take the initiative to admit it.

However, Sakaski still said firmly: "I can't admit what I haven't done."

Zefa wanted to speak again, but Kong stopped him, and then said: "Since you said so, let's put this matter aside for the time being and talk about another matter."

"Regarding the matter of the Whitebeard Pirates, although you rescued Harrington and others, you caused the Navy to suffer huge losses and damage your reputation. How do you explain this matter?"

As soon as Kong finished speaking, a vice admiral stood up and said loudly: "The marshal is right, this matter is really lacking in consideration, the G1 branch is an important force for the navy to deter pirates in the new world, and now the G1 The withdrawal of the branch from the New World is a great loss to us, and it has caused our navy to suffer huge public opinion. This is the first time our navy has faced such a disastrous defeat against pirates in so many years."

Sakaski turned his head to look at this person. This person is also an older generation of vice admiral in his 40s, but he is very clear that this person stood up and spoke against him, and he was completely on Zefa's side. The reason is that this person is a lieutenant general of the Zefa line.

Sakaski asked lightly: "Then according to what you think, what should I do? I don't care about the lives of Lieutenant General Harrington and others, and fight head-on with the Whitebeard Pirates? Or should I bow my knees to the sea The thief begged for mercy and asked them to release Vice Admiral Harrington? Or should I move the Navy Headquarters out and the World Government out, so that Whitebeard will compromise? In your case, tell me what should I do ?”

"I."

The man was speechless for a moment, and Sakaski spoke very quickly, and there was almost no way to refute, because neither was possible.

Seeing that this person stopped talking, Sakaski said to Kong again: "Marshal, this matter is indeed my responsibility. At that time, I didn't think about it that much. I only wanted to rescue Lieutenant General Harrington."

"As a veteran, Vice Admiral Harrington has made great contributions to our navy headquarters. He has been fighting pirates all his life. If he died in the hands of pirates because of defeat, I have nothing to say, but watching him be For the pirate to die in humiliation, I can't do that."

"Moreover, the G1 branch has been defeated by the Whitebeard Pirates, and its foundation has been damaged. It has already suffered heavy losses. At this time, I don't think it should continue to stay in the new world. The best choice is to retreat bravely. As for us Is damage to the reputation of the Navy more important than the lives of Vice Admiral Harrington and others?"

Listening to Sakalski's uninterrupted talk, everyone present looked serious, especially those aged veterans. They all agreed with Sakalski's words, especially the navy. Marshal empty.

Harrington was his former lieutenant, and the relationship between the two is naturally closer than others, so no matter what else, he is still very grateful to Sakaski for saving Harrington, but Sakaski did not Reported to the headquarters, and privately decided to let the G1 branch withdraw from the new world, this is indeed beyond the limit, and it cannot be suppressed at all.

At this time, Lieutenant General Harrington, who had recovered and was also sitting in the meeting room, suddenly stood up. He stared at everyone and spoke slowly.

"I have the right to speak about this matter. I was there when Sakaski was negotiating with Whitebeard. Sakaski did not lose the face of our navy. Everything was done to save me. If because of this If he wants to be held accountable, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities for him, and there is no problem in apologizing with death, after all, this incident was caused by me."

Seeing that the veteran Harrington had said such a thing, most of the people present nodded secretly. It is true that this matter cannot be blamed on Sakalski, at most it can only be regarded as not having discussed it in advance, but the situation at that time, It is impossible for anyone else to do better than Sakalski.

Kong even comforted him quickly: "Harrington, sit down, no one knows that such a thing will happen, Whitebeard is the number one pirate in the new world, it is not your fault that you lost to him, as for Sa We haven't finished discussing Kaski's responsibility."

Harrington said resolutely: "Marshal, my life was saved by Sakalski, as well as my subordinates, so no matter what decision everyone makes, I am willing to bear all the responsibilities and punishments. You don't want to punish Sakarski, because he is really an excellent soldier, has the demeanor of an admiral, and is the future of our navy."

Saying good things for Sakalski is not just because Sakalski saved his life, but because he saw Sakalski's ability. How many people in the Navy headquarters can face it? The entire Whitebeard Pirates can still talk and laugh freely, and finally forced Whitebeard to compromise?

So Harrington is willing to take all the responsibilities. First of all, he is grateful, but more importantly, he is optimistic about Sakaski. Such a veteran who has fought pirates all his life wants to see the future glory of the Navy.

Sakaski himself was also infected by Harrington, and he said solemnly: "Lieutenant General Harrington, you are also a victim of this matter, and it is true that I did not do it comprehensively, and the responsibility rests on my own shoulders." .”

Because of this incident, Harrington can be said to have withdrawn all his powers, and in the future he will only be a veteran of the Navy headquarters, so he really does not want this veteran to take responsibility for this incident.

"I……"

Just as Lieutenant General Harrington was about to speak, Kong took the first step and said, "Okay, Harrington, you don't need to talk, sit down, this matter still depends on everyone's decision."

Then he glanced at all the people present and asked: "Our Navy Headquarters is not a man of one word. Today, we called everyone here not just to watch and not to speak. If anyone has any thoughts, they can say it. Warring States, you explain."

Zefa obviously aimed at Sakaski, so Sora didn't ask him, but asked Sengoku.

Warring States said calmly: "There are merits and demerits, but in my opinion, the merits outweigh the demerits. After all, being able to rescue the hostages from Whitebeard without suffering substantial losses is a very remarkable thing in itself. If it were me, I might not be able to achieve this level.”

Sora nodded, and then asked Zefa: "Zefa, what do you think?"

Zefa's expression was not good, he said: "A merit is a merit, a demerit is a demerit, the navy is a disciplined force, if everyone blatantly violates discipline like this, what kind of military discipline will there be in the navy headquarters in the future?"

"What Zefa said also makes sense." Kong still nodded, and then asked the others: "You guys also talk about your own thoughts."
