I Don’t Want to Be a General, I Choose Buddhism

Regarding Ion's murderous gaze, Lieutenant General Karp turned a blind eye, and instead took the "Navy Hero" medal from the Warring States Marshal and clasped it on Ion's chest, and said.

"Lieutenant General Ion, please bear the name of the'Navy Hero' in the future and safeguard the justice of the Navy!"

"Thank you." Ion's mouth twitched slightly, replied.

Immediately, Lieutenant General Karp, who was grinning, stood side by side with Ion, allowing many reporters below to take pictures from various angles.

At this point, Ion had already thought about what the headlines of these photos in the next newspaper would look like.

"'Navy Hero' and'Navy Hero'! The strength of the navy is still strong!"

"Times are changing, and the name of'Navy Hero' is passing on."

"Shocked, the'Emperor of the Sea'-Danger! The appearance of the new'Navy Hero'!"

Ion's expression was slightly stiff, but he could only maintain a kind smile in front of a large number of camera phone bugs, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

‘It turns out that in this show, I was the protagonist who was deliberately promoted. No wonder Lieutenant General Crane asked me to be there...’

‘A bunch of old things, work together to calculate me. ’

‘To the effect, watching the old man indulging in the sweet offensive of Sora and Ying, he never expected that he would start digging for me the next day...’

…

"Subsequently, the lieutenants and generals present congratulated and supported Ion, fully demonstrating the unity and friendship within the navy.

Finally, ‘Navy Hero’ Lieutenant Admiral Ion also reviewed and gave a speech to the soldiers of the navy headquarters, fully affirming the contributions of the navy soldiers to the peace and justice of the sea, and said..."

The next day, in a newly renovated office in Malin Fando, Ion looked at the series of photos and texts related to him on the newspaper in front of him, only to feel that his temples were jumping.

"Obviously, I was only forced to open business. Didn't I ever let go of my hand without seeing that old **** Karp?"

"Oh~"

Ion slumped on the seat, feeling that everything came too fast, so fast that Ion didn't even react perfectly.

It was similar to special treatments such as independent offices, independent courtyards, adjutants, etc., all of which were assigned to Ion's hands at the speed of light, and Ion was not given a chance to react at all.

"Tsk, it seems that Lieutenant General Crane directly arranged me to the temporary residence area of ​​the'Seven Wuhai' yesterday and prevented me from returning to the admiral's residence area. It should be because I was worried that I would be suspicious when I saw the brand new independent courtyard..."

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, the door of the office was knocked.

"Come in!"

The next moment, an extremely familiar face appeared in front of Ion.

"Snapped!"

"Rear Admiral Hope reports to the Chief!"

With Hope's extremely excited voice, Ion's eyes widened, and then... Hope's bald head dangled his eyes again.

Earlier, when Hope followed Ion to Hydra Island, the entire navy of the warship was petrified by Hancock.

Later, after the wedding between Ion and Hancock was completed, Lieutenant General Karp also brought back the navy of the entire warship that had been de-petrified by Hancock when he left.

So far, Ion hadn't heard of Major General Hope for more than six years. Unexpectedly, after six years, he... still has nothing to do with him.

"So, is you the adjutant mentioned by Lieutenant General Crane? Major General Hope." Ion raised his forehead, covering some of his eyes, and asked.

"Yes, Lord Ion!"

Major General Hope answered with his head held up, and then took out a notepad from behind and spoke.

"Master Ion, next is your schedule for today. There will be a general meeting in half an hour. The estimated time for the meeting is two hours..."

"Ten minutes after the meeting, a new group of elite navy recruits will arrive at Marin Vando. According to the request of the Marshal of the Warring States Period, you need to attend the meeting and give a speech to encourage the recruits. Regarding the speech draft, the General Staff has prepared a preliminary draft for you. You can read and modify first..."

"Subsequently, there will be a pirate bounty adjustment seminar at two o'clock in the afternoon..."

Before Hope could finish speaking, Ion raised his hand and interrupted. "and many more."

"Master Ion, do you have any questions?" Hope blinked, his little puzzled eyes seemed to worry about where he didn't express clearly.

"I just sat down in this office, the chair hasn't been hot yet, where does so much work come from?" Ion asked.

"Yes, these are part of the tasks that were separated from the offices of the Warring States Marshal and Lieutenant Karp. Now I have helped Master Ion take all of them." Hope replied loudly.

In a moment, Ion's brows wrinkled slightly, feeling that things were not easy, and asked. "So, can some of this work be pushed away?"

"Yes, but in order for Ion-sama to enter the state as soon as possible, and to establish personal prestige in the navy, I tried my best to hand over all the appropriate tasks."

? ? ?

Ion.

At this moment, looking at Hope's proud face, as if he was contributing to the navy, Ion wanted to take out the Soul Slasher and flatten his bald egg.

Is this guy afraid that he will not have enough prestige in the navy and will not be able to take the position of admiral by then?

"Naughty!"

Ion slapped the table suddenly and shouted sharply. "Major General Hope, do you know what you are doing?"

Seen by the furious look of Ion, Hope trembles almost subconsciously, and speaks tremblingly. "me…"

"You are harming me!"

Ion said solemnly.

"The navy is not a place to compete for power. Once your behavior is interpreted by someone who is interested in me, Tefimo Yarn can't wait to grab power just after being promoted. What a bad impact would that be?"

"It's even not impossible that the sea will cause turbulence."

In a moment, Hope turned pale, and he clearly understood that this possibility might exist.

"Push it back, push back all the tasks you have received..."

After a pause, Ion sat down again and continued. "In order to show humility and unity, let Lieutenant General Karp and the Marshal of the Warring States also handle the tasks that should belong to us."

"After all, as a newcomer, it is more important for me to slowly learn from my predecessors and accumulate experience, rather than hurriedly dealing with various situations."

Hope salutes subconsciously, responding as though guilty and suddenly realized. "Yes, I have been taught, Lord Ion."

However, after a few breaths, Ion looked up and found that Hope was standing still with an embarrassed expression.

"But, Lord Ion, when the Marshal of the Warring States Period told me before, if you didn't handle these tasks, the sea would be more turbulent..."
