"What's going on?"
Bai Ye's face suddenly changed.
"This is the location of the navy's G-64 branch in the North Sea, and it's only separated from the city where I live by a stretch of sea."
Even if the pirates were rampant in the North Sea.
Look at the flag of the naval branch.
They wouldn't dare act so recklessly.
The instinct of forty years of naval service didn't give Bai Ye much time to think.
He ordered the branch navy to assemble.
and immediately set out to destroy these 'enemies'.
However.
Just as the branch navy under his feet quickly gathered and set off.
A heavy voice of command suddenly stopped them all.
"The G-64 branch navy is not allowed to leave without orders from headquarters!"
The voice came from nowhere.
Then a naval officer came running with a telephone bug in his hand. That voice just came from the telephone bug!
Hearing this, the people below looked unhappy:
"Are you kidding me?!"
"They're shelling the city right under our noses!"
"Exactly, are we going to let the pirates get away with this? !"
Many of the naval officers looked puzzled and gritted their teeth.
Bai Ye's face fell when he heard this.
The telephone bug was silent for a moment.
It spoke again.
"I'm Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel from Navy Headquarters, some of you may have heard of me..."
"What? !"
"Vice Admiral? !"
"Flying Squirrel Vice Admiral? ! Then why would you still be..."
Hearing this, the hearts of the naval officers present trembled.
Flying Squirrel Vice Admiral
It's a Vice Admiral from Naval Headquarters...!
And a Vice Admiral.
Why would he give such an order over the phone?!
Everyone was puzzled.
Flying Squirrel's voice continued over the phone:
"As for the reason, the G64 branch navy only needs to know one thing: the destroyed city is being punished for not paying the 'Heavenly Gold' on time. The World Government has already instructed someone to inform the Navy Headquarters, and now all I have to do is relay the order through the telephone worm."
The voice fell silent.
The shocked naval officers present could only stare in disbelief.
Over there... Who is doing this to the innocent civilians of this city?
It's the World Government!
A colossus appeared in their minds, subconsciously making the people there unable to breathe.
Looking once more in the direction of the town that had already been destroyed by the merciless artillery fire and turned into a silent ruin...
The naval officers present collectively chose silence.
This was the world government...
A colossus that had stood in this world for 800 years!
Even the Navy was only an organisation under the World Government.
In other words.
It was not something they, as ordinary naval officers, could interfere with.
The atmosphere was silent.
Suddenly.
A voice sounded that did not care about the World Government at all, and ultimately carried a tone of questioning and coldness.
"Just because they are World Government personnel, can they just let civilians go? Even if the Heavenly Gold is a front?"
Everyone unconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw a veteran with grey hair, his sturdy body showing no signs of time.
"It's, it's Colonel Bai Ye!"
"Mr Bai Ye!"
Bai Ye has served in the navy for 40 years.
Today, he is also the colonel of the G-64 naval branch under their feet.
Therefore, there is no one in the navy who does not know this colonel who is about to retire.
And from the coldness in Bai Ye's tone, they all know what's going on.
The reason is simple.
This city was destroyed by the reckless artillery fire of the World Government!
It is the city where Colonel Bai Ye has lived for more than 30 years!
It's also where Mr Bai Ye's relatives live!
The feeling of seeing his hometown destroyed...
The anger it caused was overwhelming!
In another part of the conversation, Flying Squirrel was confronted with questions.
Flying Squirrel did not answer right away.
For even though he knew in his heart that what White Night had said was true.
Heavenly Gold... was really just a pretext.
The original intention of this extermination...
was for the World Government to set an example to the disobedient kingdoms of the North Sea.
And the city was chosen to be near a branch of the Navy Government.
The purpose is obvious!
It is a clear message from the World Government to all the armies in the North Sea.
Even if they destroy a town in front of the Navy, where everyone knows there are only innocent civilians, they will not be stopped!
The world government.
It acts so ruthlessly and domineeringly without having to explain anything to the weak!
The silent and oppressive atmosphere remained.
Bai Ye glanced at the silent Navy present, and his gaze finally fell on the telephone bug.
"Good! Since the Navy can't do anything about it..."
He took off his Navy uniform with the word "Justice" on it, revealing the spotless white shirt underneath.
Nearby, the faces of the marines paled at the sight.
Bai Ye looked at a tall Navy man with dark skin.
"Klee."
"Yes! Mr Bai Ye!"
"From today, you are a colonel."
"Wh-what?!"
The tall, dark-skinned naval officer couldn't believe it.
Immediately, Keri's heart wasn't happy about becoming a colonel.
Or rather...
His face changed slightly.
Colonel Bai Ye... Is he planning to disobey the order of the Navy Headquarters...?
"What do you mean? Watch your words! Navy!"
Another cold snort came from Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel in the phone booth.
"Watch my words?"
Bai Ye threw the navy jacket right at his feet.
He saw the city being destroyed by artillery fire that could not be resisted in the North Sea.
A cold look appeared in Bai Ye's eyes, which had originally been tired of the dark times.
"I'm already retired and have nothing to do with the navy, so why should I care about the nonsense of cowards?"
The next moment.
Bai Ye did not hesitate to choose the second option.
