Chapter 860 I Invite You All to Dinner
three days later.
g-3 fortress.
In a luxurious private room in the cafeteria, there was a large round table, which was already full of people, including Kikyo, and the naval cadres of the Kuro faction were all sitting here.
On the round table, there is a huge copper pot. The bottom of the copper pot is hollowed out, and a copper pillar is extended from which flames rise. In the copper pot above that, steaming red and white soups are bubbling.
Next to the copper pot, there are all kinds of raw food.
Thinly shaved animal meat and sea fish fillets, unnamed wild vegetables, and fungi that are not red umbrellas and white rods.
In front of everyone, there is also a small plate with dipping ingredients in it.
Everyone was looking at the steaming copper pot, but they didn't speak, because the master hadn't come yet.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Crow walked in with Lida and Crow in a golden formal suit and a cloak.
Everyone stood up at this moment.
"Sit, sit, sit..."
Kuro sat directly on the seat facing the door, pressed his palms a few times, and signaled them to sit down.
"Crow, is this what you asked me to describe to Sister Kikyo?"
Lida was sitting next to him, biting her fingers, her little nose shrugged twice, and her saliva was faintly dripping down, "It looks delicious."
What Kuluo specifically asked Lida to explain to Kikyo, red and white soup, plus dishes that can be eaten immediately after boiling, and the prepared dipping sauce, yes, that is hot pot.
He picked up a white napkin on the table, hung it around his neck skillfully, and looked at everyone.
"As for me, I drink and smoke on weekdays without burning my head, and I occasionally order some tea. Today, I want to treat you to a meal from my hometown. First, you are all cadres who are close to me, g- 3's future, and the safety of the nearby waters, all depend on you."
As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions...
Lida was drooling over the hot pot, wondering how to eat it.
Crowe pushed down his glasses, as if he didn't care much.
Ai En was sitting upright, she rarely heard Kuro speak, she should have listened, but she didn't seem to understand.
The same goes for Binz.
Donald was exploring the hot pot here, thinking that this thing seemed to be similar to what he had seen in the Kingdom of Flowers.
Sazier's mind was wandering, thinking about whether he should make a move after all the above-mentioned people have been promoted.
Moore yawned and didn't hear a word.
Fanny buried her head in writing the experimental notes, covering her entire body and even her face. Today, she has a certain degree of control over the ability of the plague fruit, and she can come out to meet people.
Kikyo...she couldn't hear.
Well, in short, no one listened carefully to everyone's expressions, except for two people...
"Mr. Craw is polite!"
Cass got up together again, and said excitedly: "You taught me well! I think that I, Cass, used to be just a little sergeant in the East China Sea, but now I am a brigadier general in the headquarters. It is your guidance that made me achieve what I am today. Only then can this 'tenacious justice' be carried out!"
"Stop stop..."
Kuro waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished yet."
After gesturing for Cass to sit down, Kuro cleared his throat, took out a cigar, lit it, and said:
"This is the second one. This is hot pot. It is one of the specialties of my hometown. I have to taste it, so today I invite everyone to eat hot pot."
"Third, regarding the overall situation of the sea today, and the future development of G-3, I hope to hear your suggestions. Come, let's talk while eating."
As soon as Ku Luo finished speaking, Lida couldn't help but said: "Can I eat it?! How can I eat this? Is that soup for drinking?!"
"no..."
Kuro picked up the chopsticks, picked up a very thin slice of meat, put it in the red soup and scalded it, then took it out and put it on Lida's plate, saying: "It's cooked like this, and then add the dipping sauce. eat."
Lida picked up the sliced meat on the plate, put it on the dipping sauce, stirred it, and then stuffed it into her mouth. Immediately, her eyes lit up, and the sound of "woo" was like a cat meowing, and she stretched out her chopsticks like afterimages. Kuro looked like he picked up the meat slices and stuffed them into the soup.
"Then... I will speak first."
Kloe stood up, picked up the plate in front of Kloo, and stuffed a few pieces of meat into the pot while saying, "I'm in charge of G-3's internal affairs, so I don't know much about cruising, but the recent expenditure , in addition to repairing the fortress, the biggest expenditures are Brigadier General Cass and Brigadier General Wilbur, I think this aspect should be reduced a little."
Before they came, Kuro gave an order to let g-3 close the loop while he was in the "injury period" now, and start his "retirement" career directly from then on.
But before that, he had to figure out the purpose of these people so that he could assign them tasks.
The wonderful people in the province have done inexplicable things, especially Cass, this guy must be found out for him.
But he can't say this, so he can only do it for him. Now what Crowe said is just a test.
Can he not know where the expenditure in this regard is?
Craw himself accounted for one-fifth of G-3's expenditure. After the guns and cannon allocated by the headquarters were replaced with new ones, he gave him all the old ones.
There is also a fifth of the profit, which is scraped off by the other captains of the G-3 fortress, including Crowe himself.
There is no way around it, the whole navy has this habit, and Kuro can’t change it even if he wants to. He has lived here for more than 20 years, and he has become so corrupt and depraved. When he was an official in the East China Sea, he shared the benefits together , Although he is not short of money now, but he is not short of money, but he can't let the people below have nothing to eat.
Salary is salary, benefits are benefits, they are not the same.
Besides, besides the subordinates of his own faction, there are also other lieutenants here, and they are dividing the money. Does it mean that his subordinates only get dead salaries? How can there be such a boss.
Apart from maintaining his conscience, Clow's other behaviors are no different from warlords. This is the navy of this world, there is no way.
"Minus?!"
Cass frowned and looked at Crowe, "With all due respect, Commodore Crowe, it is impossible to reduce it now. Although the pirates in the nearby waters have disappeared a lot, our navy is not limited to this sea area, and we should break into the chaotic area of the New World. , to wipe out those pirates and fill the sea with justice!"
"That's right! What Brigadier General Cass said is absolutely true! We should take advantage of the chaos in the new world to spread our justice ahead!" Wilbur seconded.
Yep, just these two, that's right.
Kloe directly threw out the words that Kloe presupposed before, and said: "Our navy, of course, takes justice as the criterion, but it must also be combined with the actual situation. The navy as a whole is accumulating strength and waiting for the results in the second half of the new world. We should not violate this point, so the current g-3 guidelines also need to accumulate strength."
"You two, why don't you change the way? The one-stop special tourist route in Dressrosa that Mr. Kulo and David cooperated also needs the navy. This is our own thing. Why don't we go there as a long-term escort?"
