Chapter 157 Appointment, Head of Beihai First Branch Base
After Seti received the investiture ceremony, the grand investiture ceremony officially ended.
After the ceremony, the top brass of the navy dispersed. However, Seti and others did not leave separately. Instead, they waited until the crowd dispersed and then followed Sengoku and Zefa to the marshal's office.
They have just been awarded formal military ranks and will be sent to branches around the world to accumulate experience and uphold justice.
A group of people lined up in a long queue outside the marshal's office, and one by one went in to receive their respective appointment arrangements from Warring States.
Not long after, all the students except Seti had received their assignment arrangements. As the adjutant of the Warring States Period, Branyu opened the door and showed a smile to Seti:
"It's your turn, come in."
Pushing the door open and walking into the marshal's office, there were only three people in the office: Warring States, Zefa and Brannew.
Seeing Seti push the door open and come in, Warring States and Zefa smiled at him, and Seti naturally returned the favor quickly.
After Seti sat down, Warring States looked at him with a gentle face. He did not mention the appointment immediately, but first expressed his condolences to Seti:
"You've been exhausted from staying at the headquarters all this time. Before you take office, would you like me to grant you a month's leave so that you can travel around and relax?"
After hearing this, Seti said indifferently:
"Thank you Marshal for your concern, but I don't need to take a vacation or anything like that. I've been able to rest long enough in Marineland in the past three months, and I've been able to travel and relax on the way to my new post."
Sett doesn't have much desire for a vacation, and his current job is not like that of 996 in his previous life. Even when he was catching pirates in the G4 branch, he didn't feel busy.
Just wandering around on the sea every day is not much different from taking a vacation.
In his opinion, as long as you don't do so much civilian work, being a senior naval officer is indeed a very easy job.
After hearing this, Warring States chuckled lightly, turned to Zefa and said:
"No wonder everyone says this kid is very similar to Garp. They both have a restless temper."
Zefa glanced at his beloved disciple and smiled at Zhan Guodao:
"Seti is much more worry-free than Garp... Let's not talk about it. Since he doesn't want to take a vacation, let him do whatever he wants."
Hearing this, Warring States nodded and took out an appointment document from the drawer and pushed it in front of Seti.
Seti took it and took a look, but subconsciously raised his eyebrows, looking a little in disbelief, because the position on the appointment document was [Base Director of the First Beihai Branch].
Seeing this appointment document, Seti wondered if he had been tricked.
In branch bases in Sihai, the highest officer is usually a colonel, and there are a few more important base commanders with a military rank of brigadier general.
At that time, this brigadier general was only a brigadier general of the branch. If he was transferred to the main branch of Malinfando, he would have to be lowered by three ranks, which would be equivalent to that of a major of the main branch.
Seemingly seeing something different in Seti's expression, Warring States explained:
"You graduates of the elite battalion will be assigned two jobs after graduation. One is to serve as the deputy of a certain branch in the first half of the Grand Route, and the other is to be sent to Sihai to serve as the base commander of the Sihai branch.
.
Under normal circumstances, those rated below the rank of colonel will be sent to the four seas, while those rated above the rank of colonel will stay in the Grand Line..."
Upon hearing this, Seti subconsciously said:
"Then what's going on with Smoker and me?"
Hearing the name Smoker, Warring States twitched his lips and said:
"Your situation is special. Smoker was originally assigned to the first half of the Grand Line, but he had a conflict with his superiors due to his eccentric personality. It was for this reason that he was sent to Rogge Town."
After recalling Smoker's solitary appearance in the elite camp, Seti nodded and stopped talking, quietly listening to Warring States continue to talk about his appointment arrangements.
Warring States glanced at Seti and continued:
"The military rank you were awarded is Commodore. Logically speaking, you should stay in the first half of the Grand Route. What I prepared for you at the beginning was also a document from the Deputy Base Commander of the Grand Route."
Having said this, Warring States paused for a moment, and then continued after confirming that Seti's expression had not changed:
"But after I received a piece of information yesterday, I temporarily modified your appointment after reading it...Have you heard of the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea?"
Hearing this name, Seti couldn't help but be stunned, and then nodded.
Of course he knows about the Germa Kingdom, Sanji's father's kingdom. It once unified the North Sea by force, but later it declined for unknown reasons.
It wasn't until Sanji's father, Vinsmoke Gaji, returned to Beihai that this country was recognized as a member of the World Government again, but now the Germa Kingdom no longer has any territory.
It is a mobile country composed of more than ten large snails.
Seeing Seti nodding to show that he knew something about the Vinsmoke Kingdom, Sengoku continued:
"Although the Kingdom of Germa has joined the World Government, it has never stopped the pace of armed aggression. It once committed such appalling events as the 'Four Kingdoms Killing'.
Previously, due to the rapid expansion of the Don Quixote family in the North Sea, the Kingdom of Germa had ceased operations for a period of time.
But after the Don Quixote family left for the New World, the ambition of King Vinsmoke Gaji of the Kingdom of Germa emerged again.
Although due to its status as a member of the World Government, it has not openly gone to war with other countries in the North Sea, but in these years, the Kingdom of Germa has been secretly guiding and creating confrontation and division among the countries in the North Sea.
He also joined the war as a mercenary under the pseudonym 'Germa 66', grabbing huge war funds and at the same time attacking the forces of the major kingdoms in the North Sea."
After talking about what the Germa Kingdom had done in the North Sea, Warring States continued to Seti:
"Yesterday I received intelligence that the Kingdom of Germa has made new moves. Intelligence personnel said that this operation is likely to be no less than the 'Four Kingdoms' incident more than 20 years ago.
In order to prevent that kind of horrific incident from happening again, the Navy is in urgent need of an outstanding immediate combat force to go to the North Sea to suppress the Kingdom of Germa.
I happened to be arranging your appointments, so I suddenly thought of you."
Speaking of which, Warring States continued:
"In order to cooperate with your work, I have urgently mobilized a lot of sailors to go to Beihai with you. By then, the size of the first branch of Beihai will exceed the number of three thousand, and it will be the only one among the branches in the four seas.
