Chapter 249

"What level of strength has the Marshal reached now?"

The Navy has always been a place with clear hierarchy. Among the women, Lieutenant General Domino has the highest military rank, so naturally she will report the situation in person.

"Report to the marshal."

Lieutenant General Domino stepped out from the crowd, his chest in tight clothes stirred up an imaginative arc. The opening on the collar was unbuttoned, revealing a large area of ​​skin as greasy as snow, and astonishing concave lines. When she leaned forward slightly, from Yang Ming's perspective, she could clearly see a blood-curdling scene.

Yang Ming was in a trance. He hadn't seen him for a long time. Domino was still the same as before, wearing a white shirt, a brown jacket and brown trousers, paired with dark red high boots, dark red long gloves, and a pair of reddish brown The sunglasses gave her a bit more ascetic beauty.

Over the years of being transferred from the deep-sea prison to the navy headquarters, Domino has become more mature and beautiful, just like a ripe peach waiting to be picked by the destined person. His whole body exudes a mature charm, which makes people unable to help but fall in love with it. One light.

"The Fish-Man Island is located at the junction of the Paradise in the first half of the Grand Line and the New World in the second half. Its geographical location is extremely important. It was previously protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, which adds a certain symbolic meaning to it. In addition, the Dragon Palace Given the complex social environment of the kingdom, my subordinates already understand the significance of our navy stationed here. It is not only to train the murloc army, but also to use it as a pilot to promote it to the outside world."

After Lieutenant General Domino briefly summarized his opinions, Yang Ming nodded with satisfaction and said:

"That way, I'll be relieved to leave this place to you."

After leaving these words, space fluctuations appeared around Yang Ming, and the whole person disappeared from everyone's sight visible to the naked eye.

Even though the girls were already accustomed to Yang Ming's mysterious and unpredictable methods, they still couldn't help but feel a little more emotional every time they saw it.

This was the first time for Dasqi to come into contact with Marshal Shura at such a close distance. In the past, she had always acted as a follower of Lieutenant General Smoker. Naturally, this was the first time she had seen Yang Ming's methods, and she could not help but show a shocked expression. .

Fortunately, many women had come through this before, and no one would ridicule them. Instead, they would say a few words of comfort.

Yang Ming has always looked down on incompetent people who are cruel to their own people and weak to outsiders. Under his leadership, the atmosphere in the navy has become extremely harmonious and united. They support each other and rarely see each other tearing down or ridiculing each other. A slap in the face, something rarely seen elsewhere.

"Sisters!"

After Yang Ming left, Lieutenant General Domino clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said:

"I believe everyone already knows the importance of this naval branch base. Since the marshal has appointed me to be the base commander of this naval branch, then I must go all out to do my best to repay the marshal's kindness. Now that everything in the Navy branch is in the initial stage, we ask everyone to work together to create something great, and let the group of stinky men at the Navy headquarters see that we women can also hold up half the sky in the Navy!" Read the book La

Lieutenant General Domino's speech made Major General Ain and other women excited.

Who says women are inferior to men?

In this world full of sexism, there will always be many obstacles when women want to become strong.

Major General Ain, Colonel Guina, Lieutenant Colonel Dasqi and other outstanding women have already held their breath in their hearts and want to show off their talents.

Now is an opportunity!

Only with the hope of life can people's subjective initiative be fully mobilized.

During this period of time, Yang Ming served as the marshal of the Navy Headquarters and gained a deeper understanding of the way to serve. It is useless to just paint a pie, you must also let the people under you see the real benefits so that they can complete their tasks. In the process, they feel a strong sense of gain and accomplishment, which is enough to stimulate their full potential.

Now, facing the bait thrown out by Yang Ming, both Lieutenant General Domino and Major General Ain took it willingly, and transformed themselves into strugglers to actively promote the implementation of the work.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the majority of fishmen to join the army, Lieutenant General Domino raised the annual salary of trainee marines to 300,000 Baileys, the annual salary of third class privates to 350,000 Baileys, the annual salary of second class soldiers to 380,000 Baileys, and the annual salary of first class privates to 380,000 Baileys. The annual salary is 400,000 Baileys, which is nearly twice the income of soldiers at other naval branch bases!

Chapter 391 Thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the majority of fishmen to join the army, Lieutenant General Domino raised the annual salary of trainee marines to 300,000 Baileys, the annual salary of third class privates to 350,000 Baileys, the annual salary of second class soldiers to 380,000 Baileys, and the annual salary of first class privates to 380,000 Baileys. The annual salary is 400,000 Baileys, which is nearly twice the income of soldiers at other naval branch bases!

As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food.

Even with the publicity and promotion of the Dragon Palace Kingdom in recent years, fish people generally have a hatred of human beings, but they can't stand it. Lieutenant General Domino has given too much!

When the Navy branch's leaflet recruiting talents floated over Fish-Man Island, the entire Fish-Man Island was excited!

"Oh my God! Isn't this true? The annual income of a soldier can reach up to 400,000 beli, and it also includes food and accommodation. Is there such a good thing?"

"When I saw this flyer, the sashimi in my hand suddenly lost its flavor."

Suddenly, many fishmen heard the news and took action.

As one of the former cadres of the Dragon Pirates, Octopus Man Hachi ran a small shop called Takoyaki No. 8 after returning to Fishman Island. His life was tight, and his turnover after a day's work was, Apart from utility bills and shop rent, I could barely make ends meet. Although I wasn't as carefree as when I was a pirate, I didn't have to live in fear every day, fearing that the navy would come to my door one day.

When Starfish Papago came to the store with a leaflet for the navy branch, Hachi was skillfully flipping the takoyaki on the iron plate with chopsticks.

On the special lattice iron plate, the takoyaki is grilled until the outside is golden, and the octopus juice inside is mixed with the delicious flavor, making every passerby unable to help but stop and buy a piece of octopus. Burn it and eat it at home.

Starfish Papagu swallowed, raised the leaflet in his hand, and said:

"Xiaoba! Xiaoba! See what good things I bring you?"

Xiao Hachi didn't rush to read the flyer. He picked the cooked takoyaki one by one into the paper bag, handed it to the guests with a smile on his face, and then took the flyer with a confused look on his face and said:

"What's this?"

Glancing at the content on the flyer, Xiaoba's pupils suddenly shrank and he exclaimed:

"The annual income of a first-class soldier is as high as 400,000 Baileys? Isn't this four times my annual income?"

"hiss!"

Xiaoba took a breath.

Don't doubt the low income, this is a common situation on Fishman Island.

The fishmen are the lowest level group in the Dragon Palace Kingdom and have no access to those high-end professions and industries. In addition, the Dragon Palace Kingdom has little contact with the outside world, making the consumption level here difficult to describe.

The level of consumption determines the level of the industry, which then affects the salary level of each employee, which in turn determines the level of consumption, forming a closed loop.

With an annual income of 100,000 beli, he is simply the poorest of the poor on the surface.

But Xiaoba still enjoys it. At least this is much better than the group of unemployed vagrants in Fishman Street. At least he still has a skill and can support himself with his skills.

But now, Xiaoba breaks the defense directly!

What kind of takoyaki to grill?

No more baking!

Hachi nimbly took the business tools back to the shop, locked it, declared that he was bidding farewell to the takoyaki shop he cherished so much, and immediately ran towards the address of the navy branch recorded on the flyer without any hesitation.

Along the way, there were quite a few murlocs traveling with Xiaoba.

There are even a few mermaids who are not doing well.

Obviously, even among the so-called ruling class, not every mermaid can enjoy the demographic dividend. There are also some whose families are in decline, or because their own abilities are not up to standard, their lives are getting worse day by day.

When Xiao Ba rushed outside the navy branch base, he found that the place was already crowded with shirtless fish-men everywhere.

Xiao Ba looked around and found that there were all kinds of fish-men.

Snapper fish people, whale shark people, sawtooth shark people, kissing fish people, cartilaginous fish people, octopus fish people, great white shark people, broad-striped tiger shark people, horn fish people...

The fishmen are a very special race, with an appearance that is half human and half fish. They breathe with lungs on land and gills in water. They are naturally stronger than ordinary humans and have ten times the strength of humans. strength.

At the same time, what is interesting is that there is no reproductive isolation between fish people and humans, and they can reproduce with each other. The half-human, half-fish people born will have the appearance of humans and the organ characteristics of fish people.

There are various speculations about the origin of the fishmen.

Some people suspect that the fishman is a deformed product born after a certain scientific experiment, because when they dissected the body of the fishman, they found that the blood type of the fishman is the same as that of humans, and they can receive blood transfusions for treatment without any obstacles.

Anyone who knows a little bit about medical knowledge should know that human blood is different from the blood of other creatures.

When a person is seriously injured and needs a rescue blood transfusion, it is often necessary to draw blood from humans of the same blood type, rather than just looking for a cat or a dog to draw blood. Otherwise, it will cause viral infection in the blood and intense body rejection.

It is on this basis that some people would make such speculation.

It's a pity that no matter whether it is the smartest contemporary Vegapunk or scientists such as Quinn, Gage, and Caesar, they have little interest in studying fish-men, so naturally no one digs out the secrets behind it.

Or maybe, the water behind it is too deep, and these scientists are wise enough not to touch it?

All the inside stories are buried in the long river of history and are not open to outsiders.

As a murloc with little education, Xiao Hachi would naturally not think about the speculative philosophical question of "where did the murlocs come from?" Instead, he filed into the navy branch base with a group of murlocs.

In this naval branch base covering hundreds of acres, dozens of arenas of equal size were set up. Colonel Ain, Lieutenant Colonel Dasqi and others were maintaining order everywhere, holding loudspeakers in their hands and shouting:

"Due to too many people signing up to join the army, the number of places in the navy branch is limited. Nowadays, a split assessment rule is adopted. The first one is a competition in the ring. Only those who can defeat ten opponents in a row in the ring can be qualified to participate in the second assessment. Qualifications, please come in order and get your competition number plate."

Under the guidance of the staff, Xiaoba got a number plate marked 567 from Lieutenant Colonel Dasqi. Apparently there had been more than 500 people who had signed up before this, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Xiaoba stared at the number plate in his hand and found that it seemed to be a very auspicious number, so he quickly attached it to his slightly worn clothes.

Chapter 392: Navy establishment is hard to find

Under the guidance of the staff, Xiaoba got a number plate marked 567 from Lieutenant Colonel Dasqi. Apparently there had been more than 500 people who had signed up before this, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Xiaoba stared at the number plate in his hand and found that it seemed to be a very auspicious number, so he quickly attached it to his slightly worn clothes.

When he was idle and bored, Xiaoba took out his whetstone and sharpened the eight long knives he wore.

While waiting patiently, Xiaoba finally heard a call from Dasqi in front of him:

"No. 567! No. 568! Get on the ring!"

"Finally it's my turn!"

Xiaoba walked onto the ring solemnly, with eight arms stretched out, holding eight long knives, and watched his competitors step onto the ring in a serious manner.

"Fight for a high salary!"

When Dasqi gave the order, swords and swords flashed across the arena, and the two fishmen began to fight fiercely. Both of them used their full strength, and blood spilled on the arena for a moment.

Lieutenant General Domino took over the position of base director of the naval branch from Yang Ming. He was stationed in the base and was responsible for matters related to the arena. Major General Ain and other women were responsible for handling matters.

Although there will occasionally be some unexpected incidents, such as some fishmen who refuse to admit defeat and still want to stand up even though they have been defeated in the ring, such fishmen's actions will be stopped immediately.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is in the minority after all.

Seeing Xiaoba on the ring wielding eight long knives and slashing randomly, and having the nerve to call himself the Eight Sword Style, Dasqi was speechless and said to himself:

"If Colonel Kuina is in charge of this arena and sees someone disrespecting the way of the sword, I'm afraid he might want to kill this octopus fish-man, right?"

"Ah sneeze!"

Xiao Ba's body trembled, he sneezed violently, and almost lost his balance.

"It's strange. Why am I sneezing suddenly? Could it be that Brother Aaron misses me?"

Shaking his head, Xiaoba put this thought behind him and continued to fight hard in the ring, successfully defeating his competitors.

According to the requirements of the Navy branch, Xiaoba will become the ring master after defeating one person. He needs to defeat the remaining nine competitors in a row before he can successfully enter the next stage of assessment and screening.

Although this was difficult, it was still difficult to resist the enthusiasm of the fishmen.

Dozens of arenas of the same size were in full swing. After three days of selection, the ring masters who successfully defended the arena, including Xiaoba, stood out. There were more than 3,000 people in total.

If these more than 3,000 people join the naval branch, based on the annual salary of 300,000 per year given by Vice Admiral Domino to the trainee navy, more than 900 million beli will be paid every year, which is enough to bankrupt this small naval branch base.

Lieutenant General Domino naturally understood this truth, so from the very beginning, he wanted to create a group of elite soldiers, focusing on elites rather than numbers.

Of course, Vice Admiral Domino also understood Yang Ming's intention in appointing her as the base director of the naval branch.

After this recruitment plan is completed and the navy is built into a benchmark profession and has a strong appeal to murlocs, Vice Admiral Domino will take advantage of the situation and create another army of servants outside the navy, with a salary of 150,000 a year. Moreover, the training and execution of tasks are equal to those of the regular army. Only by continuously accumulating merit can one be awarded the naval establishment and promoted to the regular army.

This so-called servant army is equivalent to an outsourcing company.

This is the inspiration that Lieutenant General Domino drew from the expansion of the Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce, Carrera Company, and New Hope Factory.

Even though the salary of the servant army is only 150,000 yuan a year, it is still a respectable job among the fishmen, and there is a prospect of being promoted to the regular army, which is enough to make many fishmen flock to it.

Soon, the second round of assessment and selection began.

The assessment task this time is physical fitness. Each person who signs up to join the army is required to complete specific training content within the specified time, such as running thirty kilometers in one hour. This can filter out the fishmen who fail in physical fitness.

As for the third round of assessment, it is an ideological assessment.

The question-and-answer questionnaire written by Lieutenant General Domino himself was distributed to Major General Aine and others. They acted as examiners and conducted intensive questioning on each applicant who signed up to join the army, thereby identifying the subject's personality tendencies. If they are vicious by nature and have no intention of repenting, they will be screened out.

Ideological assessment is the most important among the three major assessments and selections.

A person who has powerful force but an empty mind is just a straw bag after all.

If such a person still has evil thoughts, once he masters more powerful power, he will not only disobey management, but also bring disaster. For any large organization or force, it is a very dangerous and uncontrollable evil. source.

By the time Xiaoba was asked the question, the stupid green octopus man was already sweating profusely and felt a little uneasy.

Because the competitors who were asked the question before him were all ruthlessly screened. It was obvious that they all managed to go through the first two screenings, but they were defeated in the face of this seemingly ridiculous question, which made these eliminated fish people feel sad. Feeling unwilling and resentful.

Dasqi opened the questionnaire, her lips moved up and down, and a series of questions came out one after another:

"What do you think of humans?"

"If you had the power, what would you do?" Kanshu La

"What would you do if your superior ordered you to perform a dangerous mission?"

"What do you think when you get credit for your achievements on the battlefield but are swallowed up by your superior officers and soldiers?"
