"Weapons and muskets are not much better. Some of them were bought from the underground black market, and the logo of the Don Quixote family still remains on them."

"As for the few surviving warships that can still sail, the power engines have long since been scrapped, and many components on board have been replaced with inferior products, so they can barely sail with the help of the wind with their masts."

"So that day, to a certain extent, from a tactical point of view, Pompey did not make a mistake in his judgment."

"The enemy can be completely wiped out only if the warship is forced to sink the pirate ship under the wind. Otherwise, the speed of a huge warship lacking a power engine is naturally far inferior to that of a light pirate ship."

"As for the food supply, it is also a big problem."

"The meat is okay. There are sea beasts and fishes everywhere in the sea, but have you seen their skin?"

Alder thought for a while, as if realizing something, his pupils shrank slightly and said:

"shrinking and rotting..."

Ron sighed again,

"Yes...lack of enough fresh water and fresh fruits and vegetables, each of them more or less suffered from the 'curse of the sea'." (Note: vitamin deficiency)

"This also means that their wounds are difficult to heal, and they suffer inhuman pain every moment."

"Without support, without supplies, sickness, and "imprisonment" that will never see the light of day, even the toughest gladiators in the arena would probably go crazy under such pressure."

For this group of people in G5, Ron's mood is extremely complicated.

They're sinners, everyone in G5 admits to it themselves.

But they did stand at the forefront of justice and made countless contributions to the navy.

The boundary between right and wrong seems to have become extremely blurred here for a while.

"And the most important point is..."

Ron lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"Do you still remember the previous base chief of the G5 branch?"

He exhaled a puff of smoke slowly.

"Vergo? Isn't that guy Doflamingo's undercover agent in the Navy? After the Dressrosa incident, wasn't General Kuzan personally cleaned it up?"

Alder replied with a frown.

"Yes,"

Ron flicked the ash on the ashtray and narrowed his eyes.

"But in fact, the presence of Virgo eased a lot of pressure on G5."

"This allows them to have the trading channels of the underground black market, and the problems of materials, supplies and arms have been solved to a certain extent."

"Because of Doflamingo's power, Virgo has timely information from major forces in the New World, which will allow G5 to make timely countermeasures."

"Vergo, the undercover agent of the Don Quixote family, exists in G5 as a representative of Doflamingo, protecting this place to a certain extent."

"This is also the result of the compromise and tacit agreement of the major forces. After all, Doflamingo has private transactions with BIG MOM and Kaido."

"And because of us, no, because of me..."

Having said that, Ron smiled wryly.

Alder took up his words with a face full of helplessness:

"—Let Doflamingo and Virgo die."

"G5 has since lost its asylum."

Thank you so much for everything.

Chapter 44 A Letter

The empty office suddenly fell into silence.

In the thick smoke of cigarettes, Ron and Alder both frowned and thought.

"So what's the reaction from the headquarters?"

After a while of silence, Alder asked again.

Ron shook his head and said:

"The naval supply line in the New World has already been cut off. After World War I, the chaos in the New World is more difficult to control than in the past. Pirate groups, big and small, are frantically vying for the power of the original Whitebeard Pirates. The underground world is also a mess..."

He paused and rubbed his temples:

"In addition, the relocation of the headquarters has used a lot of manpower and funds. It is impossible to count on the supplies and support of the headquarters in a short period of time."

Having said that, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Only at this moment did he truly understand why when he was in the headquarters, everyone without exception said that G5 was not suitable for him.

A lone army stationed in the new world,

The men of the army who betrayed their hearts,

Supplies cut off, four emperors around...

This is indeed not a place where "Naval Heroes" can play their strengths.

And this is also the first time in Ron's life that he has led an army on his own. It is different from being limited to military command in the past. He has too many things and factors to consider.

How to allow G5 to survive in the cracks of the Four Emperors in the post-Doflamingo era and smoothly pass through this period of power transfer is indeed an extremely difficult task.

Mountains of government and military documents, personnel arrangements and training, intelligence collection and analysis... Ron began to gradually understand the difficulty of being an admiral of the Warring States Period.

Just one G5 branch gave him a headache, so what about the naval power of the entire world?

In addition, what about the subordinates who do not obey orders and discipline?

And what about Garp sitting next to him eating senbei every day?

That kind of pressure, even thinking about it, Ron collapsed a bit.

Hearing Ron's answer, Alder was also a little downcast.

"But don't be so discouraged, the funds and supplies we brought from the headquarters are enough for the entire G5 to maintain normal operation for half a month..."

Ron showed an encouraging and comforting smile, and then added:

"Half a month is enough for us to find a solution."

"The key issue now is the movement of the Four Emperors..."

Ron tapped the table lightly with his fingers and phalanxes, and looked through the glass window at the vast, turbulent and undulating sea in the distance, half-closed his eyes.

The Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, and he didn't believe that the ambitious Beast Kaido and BIG MOM would keep quiet.

The death of Doflamingo led to riots and chaos in the underground black market, which was calmed down only after the golden emperor Tezolo picked up a big bargain.

And the territory and forces controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates are more than ten times that of Doflamingo! ?

Such a big piece of cake will inevitably usher in a big reshuffle of power and status, and Ron believes that Kaido and Big Mom, the two lunatics, will never miss it.

After all, in the original plot, not long after the Dingshang War ended, BIG MOM set his sights on the treasure land of Murloc Island.

Moreover, without Doflamingo's "mediation" and "mediation", G5, the only naval branch in the new world, may also be targeted by major pirate forces.

The two smoked one cigarette after another, thinking about the next countermeasures of the G5 branch.

Alder, who was born in the staff department, has a more delicate mind and sharp thinking than other "reckless men" in the navy. This has already been fully demonstrated when he investigated the evidence of the Don Quixote family. Ron Would love to hear his opinion too.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Most of the night passed, until the sky outside the window was slightly bright, the bonfire in the distance was extinguished, and the G5 members were lying in disorder in the wilderness, sleeping soundly, when a low knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Both Ron and Alder, who were lost in thought, came back to their senses at the same time, and let out a long breath.

The ashtray on the desk was full of cigarette butts.

"Lieutenant General Ron, it's me."

Kirby's voice came from outside the door.

"come in."

Ron responded.

Kebi who was outside the door immediately pushed the door in. He looked at the tired-looking Ron and Alder, hesitant to speak.

"Go ahead."

Ron smiled encouragingly.

Kebi showed extraordinary courage and strength in both the Marin Fanduo Defense Battle and the Top War, and he is already an excellent navy.

It's just that he is not mature enough, and his character is relatively weaker and kinder.

But since he chose to stand here, standing in New World G5, it shows that he has overcome his weakness.

As for kindness... In a way, kindness is the greatest and noblest quality that separates man from beast.

It's just that to a certain extent, excessive kindness is not a good thing for a soldier.

This will not prevent Ron from admiring and cultivating him.

After all, everyone has a time when they are young and innocent, and he himself has come through like this, so he will naturally be relatively more tolerant.

Seeing Ron's encouraging smile, Kebi gritted his teeth, lowered his head suddenly and said:

"Sorry! Lieutenant General Ron! I shouldn't be so impulsive!"

Ron smiled disapprovingly, and comforted:

"It's okay, you did what you were supposed to do."

"It's normal for young people to be impulsive, so don't take it too seriously."

Alder next to him quietly rolled his eyes when he heard the words.
