Uchiha's opinion - Chapter 548

c546 Reunion in Shampoo

Lieutenant General Garp, who is stationed in the East China Sea controlled area of ​​​​the World Government centered on Rogge Town, clearly feels the suffocation of the coming war.

There is also the pressure brought by the ever-present and omnipresent probing attacks of those ‘remnant warships’.

Coupled with the constant news from CIPHER POL’s agents that the ‘Huge Kingdom’ was constantly sending more troops to Dong Island, it made him even more anxious.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, the pressure brought by today’s three-sided harassment has already made Lieutenant General Garp a little unable to withstand.

And he could only continue to rub it.

Because the Warring States Marshal of the headquarters has made it clear that no reinforcements will arrive from the East China Sea until the coalition forces of the Four Emperors of the New World are repelled.

“Children, eat more senbei and exercise more!”

In the early morning, Lieutenant General Garp came to the marine camp again and began to urge these little boys to start morning exercises.

Due to the tightness of the war and the greater pressure faced by the New World, Lieutenant General Garp’s “Grand Troop Training” could not continue, but as a general, he would still implement the concept he had always adhered to.

“If you haven’t seen strict training, you will only become a trophy for pirates at sea!”

“The stricter you are on yourself during training, the greater your chances of survival in wartime!”

“Persevere, persist, persist! Work hard, work hard!”

In the naval training ground, the naval training led by Lieutenant General Karp was in full swing; at the port of Rogge Town, the training fleet that had finished its night patrol had just returned to the port and began to change shifts with the day patrol team.

The residents of Rogge Town have long been accustomed to the hustle and bustle during this period – especially after the tragic news of Dongdao and other occupied areas spread, the residents of Rogge Town were even more frightened. If it weren’t for the navy’s If they were stationed here, they would probably flee.

Of course, the residents of Rogge Town naturally don’t know that the “Truth of the East China Sea”, the “Dongdao Massacre” and a series of shocking “big news” they know are actually just fabricated by CIPHER POL in order to spread fear. Just to stabilize people’s hearts.

After all, compared to comforting and comforting, it is more cost-effective to scare through panic!

And under the pollution of all kinds of junk information, the Revolutionary Army was slandered as a “bloodthirsty demon”, and the Republic Alliance became a “tyrant’s lackey”. The only protector of the residents of Rogge Town is the navy around them. .

Of course, it is impossible for Lieutenant General Karp not to know about this little move of CIPHER POL.

But as a naval officer, Lieutenant General Karp ultimately turned a blind eye to this kind of ‘white lie’. And regard it as a last resort means to maintain the stability of Rogge Town.

“Bring me today’s newspaper!”

After finishing today’s exercise, Lieutenant General Karp, who was shirtless, wiped the sweat from his body while starting today’s breakfast reading time.

“…The Kingdom’s army invaded Impel Down City, and the Kirigakure pirates set fire to the shipyard?”

The headlines in the newspaper immediately made Lieutenant General Karp frown.

Not because of the bad news, but because of the newspaper’s wording.

“Go get the newspapers from the past few days!”

Lieutenant General Garp was a little worried that he would have memory problems due to his old age, so he gave an order to his attendant Marine.

“As you command!”

The attendant Haibing immediately saluted and left.

After a while, a stack of old newspapers was delivered to Lieutenant General Garp.

“The remnants of the ancient tyrant are ravaging the East China Sea.”

This is yesterday’s newspaper, telling about the attack by the ‘huge kingdom remnant fleet’ that led to the interruption of the trade route in Rogge Town.

“…Kirigakure’s villains plotted to ambush General Kizaru’s troops. Fortunately, the soldiers fought hard and successfully evacuated.”

Garp dug out another wartime news item related to the East China Sea, but the date suddenly jumped to the time of Kizaru’s defeat.

As for going forward, it’s about ‘the great General Kizaru arrived at the loyal East China Sea’, ‘the heroic Lieutenant General Garp led his troops to defeat the Kirigakure thugs’ and other rainbow shit.

But what Lieutenant General Garp wants to see is not these, but the change of the name of the huge kingdom – before this, the newspapers controlled by the world government essentially confused the ‘remnants of the huge kingdom’ with the Alliance of Republics, and He would not reveal his ‘true identity’, let alone use a neutral or even somewhat complimentary term like ‘kingdom army’.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Garp immediately picked up the phone and called his friend Seng Guo to find out.

But he got an extremely unexpected answer——

“Wulao Xing deliberately defined the existence of the remnants of the huge kingdom as a rebel country?”

Although Lieutenant General Garp can be considered a mature man, this moment was really unexpected.

It turns out that the art of fooling the people can still be used like this!

Just when Lieutenant General Garp was stunned, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the direction of the port.

“what happened!”

He immediately called for his attendant Haibing and asked.

“Supply ship!”

The attendant sailor said excitedly: “It’s a supply ship from the Chambord Islands! The local navy disguised as a merchant ship successfully passed through the pirates’ eyes and arrived to deliver supplies!”

“Really? That’s good!”

Lieutenant General Garp was a little surprised, but also very happy.

Although the navy garrisoned in Rogge Town does not lack supplies, it is in a semi-surrounded state. Now a supply ship has arrived from the rear. No matter what type of supply is transported, it is a very good positive for the morale of the navy. encourage.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Karp also put down the newspaper in his hand and prepared to go out to see these brave juniors who had just arrived.

“boom!”

Just when Lieutenant General Garp just walked out of the door, there was a loud noise from the direction of the port, and then a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, followed by a violent shock wave!

“This is……”

The experienced Lieutenant General Rukarp was stunned on the spot!

But the explosion that started to spread immediately made him wake up: enemy attack!

“Those supply ships are disguised by the remnants!”

Lieutenant General Garp immediately shouted and ran towards the port with all his strength.

…

In the fog outside Rogge Town.

Uchiha Fugaku, who had used the Kirigakure technique to block the fleet’s whereabouts, was quietly waiting for the good news in the command cabin.

Finally, a communications staff officer hurried in and handed the telegram to Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku, who had been impatient for a long time, looked at it and immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face: “As expected of Nobutora-kun! The surprise attack has been successful!”

“Aren’t those naval fleets…”

The combat staff in the command cabin was immediately overjoyed!

“Including the ports, the navy’s main ships in the East China Sea have been basically lost!”

Uchiha Fugaku held up the information in his hand with satisfaction and loudly announced the good news to everyone.

No matter how the next war progresses, the East China Sea Front of the Navy, which has lost all its ships, has lost the qualification to compete with the Second Army!

It can be said that today’s Rogge Town is already a ripe melon, it just depends on when Uchiha Fugaku plans to go there and pick it.

“It only cost two million detonating charms. This price-performance ratio is really high!”

A combat staff officer said with emotion.

“This is also due to the laxity of the navy’s system, which leads to overstaffing…”

Another combat staff officer said.

This disguised attack was planned by the intelligence ninjas of the Chambord Islands.

Under the leadership of captain Nobutora Uchiha, the intelligence lurking ninjas of the Shampoo Islands have established a complete espionage system. After a long period of lurking, they even obtained an identity and infiltrated into the navy branch. This time, the port explosion attack was An act disguised as normal supply transportation – this supply order was indeed issued by the Navy Headquarters, and the supplies on the ship, as well as the vast majority of the sailors, came from the 66th Naval Base in the Shampoo Islands. There is no problem in any aspect.

Of course, it is normal for ordinary sailors not to know what a ‘sealing scroll’ and a ‘shadow clone’ are.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the garrison navy in Rogge Town to relax its vigilance after seeing acquaintances from the Chambord Islands; and it is also reasonable to find smuggled items belonging to certain generals after inspection; as for respect for the generals and the navy Out of respect for the branch, it makes sense that no specific supplies were inspected.

Just like this, in a harmonious and reasonable atmosphere, the ships, warehouses, docks and even the ship repair workshop in the port of Rogge Town were burned down with a loud noise under the power of two million detonating talismans.

“Inform Shiina and Ichiraku, let the whole army attack!”

The high-spirited Uchiha Fugaku ordered: “Within today, the Second Army must completely surround Rogge Town!”

“Then, your majesty, please move forward so that you can see our heroic fighting style!”

…

However, because Uchiha Tokumitsu was closely following the scientific research of Dondao Laboratory and could not get away for a while, he appointed Asura as a guidance observer to the front line of Rogge Town.

The siege of Rogge Town commanded by Uchiha Fugaku did not go very smoothly either.

After the ironclad fleet sent all the surviving ships in Rogge Town to the bottom of the sea to feed fish, the subsequent landing battle also suffered heavy losses due to the stubborn resistance of the garrison navy headed by Lieutenant General Karp.

Even when preparing for the offshore landing, they fought with the death squads of generals and colleges dispatched by the garrison navy. Both sides were injured – and it was only because the marines had the advantage in numbers and equipment that they were able to achieve an almost equal exchange ratio.

Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku began to have a headache when he thought of the staff ninjas’ estimates of how many casualties they would suffer in the coming landing battle.

“A decision must be made as soon as possible!”

At the Second Army Military Affairs Meeting, Uchiha Shiina put forward different opinions: “Now that Mr. Hanzo’s First Army has entered the fourth floor of Impel Down City, if we have been unable to capture Rogge Town, not only will we not be able to achieve the victory over the East China Sea, Unification, let alone opening up the waterway to the Chambord Islands!”

“The legion cannot leave an enemy force on its side and choose to go around and continue the expedition.”

Uzumaki Ichiraku also responded.

The military strength of the two men is about two-thirds of the Second Legion, and they are also the pioneers of the Uchiha Dynasty, so even Uchiha Fugaku, who is the general of the legion, cannot ignore their opinions.

“Do you have any comments, Director Asura?”

Uchiha Fugaku’s eyes turned to Asura.

This move also made both Uchiha Shiina and Uzumaki Ichiraku a little unhappy.

Originally it was just a small disagreement within the legion about the next phase of tactical deployment, but now as the legion commander, Uchiha Fugaku has brought the ‘outsider’ Asura in to muddy the waters. What a big deal!

Therefore, Uchiha Shiina and Uzumaki Ichiraku looked at each other and immediately reached a united front.

…

After Lieutenant General Garp and his major generals stationed in Rogge Town received a secret order jointly signed by the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, everyone became heavy-hearted.

In the secret order, after learning that Rogge Town suffered a disguised attack from the Shampoo Islands, Marshal Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters not only did not investigate the case, but asked Lieutenant General Garp to lead all the naval officers with domineering as the core combat force to withdraw to the Shampoo Islands. Arrange on the front line.

Another meaning behind this retreat order is to ask the East China Sea Front Army, which has lost all its ships, to abandon all its companions who have eaten Devil Fruit, and let Lieutenant General Garp take some of the people to escape – or according to the secret order, this is called ‘Tactical transition’!

The reason is also very simple, because the fall of Impel Down City is a foregone conclusion, and its complete fall is only a matter of time. And if by then the ‘huge kingdom fleet’ that has mastered the sea area where the original Impel Down City was located will follow the residual ocean current of the triangular vortex and point directly at the Navy Headquarters Marineford’s words, then the current headquarters would have no resistance.

In addition, after the destruction of Impel City, Judiciary Island will become the next target of public criticism. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Marshal Warring States decided to strategically abandon the East China Sea defense line and shrink the available troops back to the Marineford-Champaign Islands-Judiciary Island chain. Line of defense.

In today’s navy, the only one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the defense line is Garp, who is no less powerful than the general.

“With the current situation, I’m afraid we can’t continue to struggle…”

A rear admiral who had eaten a Devil Fruit smiled brightly and took the initiative to persuade: “Senior Garp, leave Rogge Town to us. The headquarters and the Shampoo Islands need you.”

As for the Judiciary Island that he did not mention, in fact, in the actual planning of the Navy, the Judiciary Island hanging alone on the Great Route is just a nominal fulcrum. Now it has lost its ship advantage and all its main forces are hoarded in the New World to fight against the Four The emperor’s navy could not allocate excess power to consolidate the sea routes and support Judiciary Island.

“Then, Rogge Town will be left to you…”

Lieutenant General Garp took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

…

Therefore, when the Second Army finally reached an agreement to launch the storming of Rogge Town, they found that the strength of the garrisoned navy was unexpectedly weak. They did not even encounter their biggest enemy, Lieutenant General Garp, during the entire process. After some interrogation, Afterwards, Uchiha Fugaku and others learned that the main force of the garrison navy had already retreated, and those left behind were only the abandoned Devil Fruit ability users.

On January 1, the third year of the Kaihuang Emperor’s reign, after receiving the approval of Uchiha Tokumitsu from Don Island, Uchiha Fugaku immediately sent his troops across the turbulent windless zone, straight into the great sea route that was no longer worthy of its name, and with Sanjiao who had just annihilated the defenders of the impel city. Uo Hanzo’s men successfully reunited in the waters off the Shampoo Islands! (End of chapter)
