King Snake General of Pirates

All the school-level officers present looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. They did not dare to come out to object, hoping that someone else would come forward.

But who is the fool? No one stood up until the end. In silence, Hal got the only command right.

End of the meeting.

After all the school-level officers dispersed, Valentine left Hal alone.

"I know that commanding such a large-scale operation is difficult for you for the first time, but there is no need to be nervous. Relax and treat it as if you are leading your team of 51 people."

Valentin turned his head and saw that Hal had been silent and seemed to be deflated. He felt disdainful of Hal's appearance as he had never seen strong winds and waves, but he still encouraged him.

There was no way, except for Hal, the entire base could no longer find an officer who was strong enough and willing to do things, and Hal used the reason of better catching pirates in the future to get Valentine to agree to his request to form a direct team.

Valentine knew clearly what kind of virtue most of the soldiers in the base had. When he thought that Hal would train a group of soldiers capable of catching pirates, he had no reason to disagree.

As long as it is anything related to catching pirates and improving military merit, as long as it is not too outrageous, Valentine will approve it.

And if Hal hadn't just been promoted to major, Valentine even wanted to promote him to lieutenant colonel on the spot, which would have saved a lot of trouble.

Considering that Hal's promotion of his position too quickly might cause dissatisfaction among others, he did not make such a decision.

"You force me to take this command. I'm afraid many officers in the base will not listen to my orders. My current reputation is not enough to convince them." Hal paused slightly and replied pretending to be nervous.

Valentine said in a lecturing tone: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. You have a strong ability, and with the power I gave you, you don't have to worry about those people who only eat and do nothing." People? Young people should be bold and let go. The Western Military Region we are going to this time is not a place where timid people can achieve success. This is why I did not choose those lieutenant colonels. "

"Come out with the energy you need to fight against the regular combat troops of the Kingdom of Androser." He said jokingly.

Hal had an "I understand" look on his face and nodded seriously.

Valentine held his chin with his left hand, and moved the five fingers of his right hand up and down on the table, making a rhythmic sound, and thought:

"The Western Military Region is a big place. It's not realistic to search them all based on the strength of our branch. Where do you think those pirates will hide and what should we do."

In terms of economic development and the noble status of the residents, the Western Military Region can be said to be far inferior to the other three military regions, but in terms of area, the Western Military Region is vaster than the other military regions.

With the current strength of the 53rd branch base, it is not possible to turn over the entire Western Military District to find pirates.

"Pirates are lazy and undisciplined. They talk about freedom and dreams every day. They look like criminals who lick blood, but in fact they are desperadoes who bully the weak and fear the strong. I think these people will not be too powerful unilaterally. The place."

Hal lowered his head and analyzed carefully: "We can let the soldiers disperse and search from remote urban areas, and eliminate them one by one with a blanket search method. This may waste a little more time, but it may be the most effective."

Valentine thought as he listened and felt that Hal's suggestion was quite reasonable, but it also had shortcomings.

Part of the reason for dividing the command into two parts instead of taking full command by himself is that Valentine is actually not willing to waste much time on such trivial matters. The main crew of the Golden Hook Pirates has been captured and military merit has been obtained. If It was not that the safety of the nobles of the Kingdom of Androser was threatened, affecting their possibility of promotion to the headquarters, Valentine was unwilling to care about this matter in his heart.

The success rate of hunting pirates according to Hal's method is very high, but as he said himself, a lot of time will be wasted.

If possible, Valentine still wanted to catch one or two pirates in the shortest time and show them to Andrag, that's all.

In view of Hal's always jealous personality, he did not express this idea. He just frowned and thought deeply: "Perhaps, we should go see someone before taking action tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning.

When the sky was just getting light and there was only a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, a whistle for assembly came from the 53rd Navy Branch Base. After hearing the whistle, all officers and soldiers gathered in the open training ground.

Everyone lined up neatly and orderly on the training ground. Facing the soldiers directly opposite was the base's top commander, Valentine.

Next to Valentine, Hal, who was wearing a familiar black suit and a cloak of justice, had sharp eyes and stood as straight as an evergreen tree, making some of the soldiers who were watching from the opposite side feel fearful. More is full of energy.

Especially Jeremy and the fifty soldiers who directly belong to Hal, they were very excited when they saw that the only people standing in the front were the base commander and Major Hal. They felt that as soldiers who directly belonged to Major Hal, their faces All full of glory.

After all, a major can stand side by side with the base when the team is assembled. This has never happened in the entire world.

The other majors and even the lieutenant colonel could only stand behind them.

School-level officers are not talkative people, so no one knows the reason for the sudden gathering at the training ground. However, even if all the soldiers don't know what happened, they will understand everything when they see such a position.

Seeing that everyone was assembled, Valentine coughed and cleared his throat, and the training ground suddenly became quiet.

Valentine spoke loudly about the purpose of gathering the team today, and at this time officially informed all officers and soldiers that he and Hal would be the commanders of this operation.

Suddenly, the crowd buzzed like the one in the conference room yesterday.

There were even more people this time, and the noise was louder and louder. Except for the school-level officer who had known the details of the matter for a long time and looked ugly and felt embarrassed at the moment, other officers and soldiers all made surprised noises. The noise was as violent as thunder, even nearby Some residents were woken up.

"Did I hear that right? Major Hal and Colonel Valentine are the operational commanders together?!"

"Now the major actually has this power, what about the lieutenant colonel?!"

Many soldiers turned their attention to the lieutenant colonels behind Valentine and Hal, and found that all of them had earth-colored faces and were very ugly.

"Tch, what a fuss."

"That's right, who in the base is better than Major Harr? I think it's totally fine for him to be the commander, but I don't want to follow him... He's a lunatic, and following him will definitely be very tiring."

"Hey, shouldn't the point be that we are going to the Western Military Region..."

There was a lot of noise in the crowd, everyone was shocked by the sudden news.

Jeremy and the fifty soldiers who directly belonged to Hal did not speak. They all stood upright like Hal, looking at Hal resolutely, and did not join the surprised discussion, even if there was something wrong in those voices. Shaohar’s bad words.

Since becoming Hal's direct team soldiers, the first thing Hal told them was: "Don't use words to argue about right and wrong on meaningless things."

When the noise subsided a little and the officers and soldiers digested the news, Valentine raised his hands and suppressed the noise irritably.

He had expected such a reaction and didn't care. So after announcing the content of the operation and some operational details mentioned by Hal yesterday, he asked a lieutenant colonel officer to organize everyone to enter the Western Military Region.

Valentine and Hal went to somewhere in the Western Military Region first.
