178. The Golden Lion Prison Break(1/2)
Allen really didn't expect that Rocinante would be interested in becoming his adjutant.
but……
"Being my adjutant is too far behind with your current level, strength and even military rank. At least you have to wait until you reach the rank of colonel." Allen is not just saying this randomly, but the official lowest level of lieutenant general and adjutant.
The military rank is major, "The most you can do now is follow me and serve as an orderly."
"Ah? The messenger." Rosinandi was a little disappointed.
It's not that he has high demands because his adoptive father is from the Warring States period. In any case, for a Devil Fruit user to be a small messenger, it is very inconsistent with what he has in mind.
"Why, I don't want to."
Allen said: "Actually, the most suitable place for you to go now is Teacher Zefa's recruit camp. However, you have been in the navy since you were a child. The recruit camp is not necessary. If you are willing to follow me, that's fine. Don't aim too high. Start with a
You start as a messenger, and if you can do it well, it won't be too late to move up."
"Okay, I'll start with the messenger."
Rosinandi nodded, thinking that if he could stay with Allen, it would also ease the relationship between Mr. Warring States and Big Brother Allen. This would be the best of both worlds.
It doesn't matter if he is a messenger. Besides, who says that a messenger cannot perform meritorious service? He will definitely become an admiral in the future. At that time, a book "The Admiral Starting from the Messenger" will be published.
Rosinandi, who was in the second year of high school, dreamed about the day when his deeds might be spread throughout the world.
But Allen's voice brought him back to reality: "If you don't follow me, what is the pestle doing there? It's like a telephone pole."
"Ah? Oh, okay." Rosinandi quickly replied.
The corner of Allen's mouth raised, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said: "This answer is not acceptable. As a messenger, you have to answer loudly, 'Yes, Lieutenant General' or 'Yes, Sir'."
"Yes, Lieutenant General," Rosinandi said loudly immediately.
But his foot slipped and he fell flat on the ground. This was already a traditional sport of Rossinandi, and sometimes he would show such great attributes.
Amidst the faint laughter of many people around him, Rosinandi quickly got up from the ground and scratched his head. He was not surprised by this situation.
He quickly followed Allen and started his career as a messenger.
However, thanks to Rosinandi's reminder, Allen felt that his need for an adjutant should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would have to do many things by himself, which would consume too much of his energy and leave him with no time to fish.
.
This is not good. There is no one who doesn't fish while working. Of course, you can't work like Porusalino in between fishing. It's a bit too much.
It would take several days for the generals who executed the demon-slaying order to return to their headquarters. This gave Allen a rare break. He returned to his home in the Shampoo Islands. After a good sleep, he changed into an off-white suit.
He wore a sexy suit, straightened his hair, and appeared at the Navy headquarters as a perfect handsome man.
Today, he will take a set of promotional photos and be interviewed by Birdman Morgans.
The interview is regarded as a warm-up for the Navy recruitment. It is like an atmosphere group. It first makes the place lively, and then people will have more desire to consume.
Allen met Morgans in his office.
The president of World Economic News, who is already well-known in the journalism world, came to Allen's office carrying a camera, recording equipment, paper and pen.
Allen's office is very big. Bigness is the overall style of this world. After all, people's heights are displayed here. If it is not big enough, it will cause a lot of inconvenience. If nothing else, let's just say that the Giant Lieutenant General has a dedicated office space.
, otherwise ordinary places simply cannot accommodate them.
Apart from being big, there is nothing else. The decoration style is very simple and often uses cold colors. The plaque behind him, "Krypton Gold Justice", is one of the few decorations.
"Lieutenant General Allen, I have admired your name for a long time. I have always been your fan, but I always missed seeing you. Today I finally got what I wanted. For me, it is like looking up and seeing the Big Dipper." Morgans
His voice was a bit like that of a duck, not very pleasant, especially what he said had too many elements, and Allen didn't know how to speak properly for a while.
Fortunately, I don't play games anymore, otherwise, little kid, your account would be gone. It's also fortunate that I don't work in the entertainment industry now...
"I remember that you were the one who arranged my gossip, right?" He looked at Morgans and said calmly.
Morgans's flattering smile froze on his face. Damn it, how could he forget this?
How to explain to Allen?
Fortunately, Allen doesn't care about this matter very much. With his current strength and status, it is easy to deal with Morgans, but it is not necessary. He has experienced too much gossip in his previous life, and he has all kinds of melons to eat.
kind.
For example, before he entered this world, a certain Canadian player was still collecting soap in prison.
Allen just wanted to give this bold and unscrupulous journalist a short answer to prevent him from setting him up again in the future: "But I don't care about these little things, and it didn't have any bad impact on me at the beginning.
, what’s passed is past. But I hope this kind of thing won’t happen again, otherwise I won’t be as easy to talk to as I am now. President Morgans, do you understand what I mean?”
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, Mr. Allen, there will never be another time, otherwise it is up to you." Morgans wiped the non-existent sweat on his head and finally let go, "I am sorry for my previous recklessness.
I apologize to Lieutenant General Allen for my behavior, I am very sorry."
As the president of a newspaper, he knows very well who can and cannot be provoked.
The young man in front of me obviously belongs to the category that cannot be messed with. Back then, he wanted to stand out, and he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. But now it is different.
World Economic News is now considered a medium-sized media, and Morgans is very confident that he can bring this newspaper to a world-class position. Naturally, he does not dare to offend the powerful and powerful Vice Admiral in the Navy.
All fools know that a lieutenant general is just a short-term transition for the other party. General, marshal or even higher positions are the lieutenant general's future. If he wants to continue, he must recognize the reality.
Allen waved his hand: "I said let's get over it. I keep my word and won't hold you accountable. Now let's keep the topic on this interview."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Allen is right." Morgans quickly agreed. As a reporter, it is quite helpless that he cannot take the initiative in the interview, but this is normal. Usually the reporter or the person he is interviewing has the initiative.
If we want to see who is more powerful, it is obvious that Morgans cannot beat Allen.
"This is the transcript of this interview. Mr. Allen, please take a look at it first. If there are any topics that are inconvenient or need to be avoided, please tell me and I will revise them."
"Well, there's nothing to avoid. You can just ask as usual." Allen flipped through it and found that the questions were all relatively conventional. Even the larger questions were still nothing in Allen's opinion, so they were not extraordinary.
Modification is necessary.
"Then when I'm ready, let's start?"
"OK."
After preparing his interview equipment, Morgans spread out his paper and pen and started the interview according to the procedure.
First, simple greetings, and then directly introduce the topic.
"Lieutenant General Allen, why did you choose to join the Navy in the first place?"
"In order to make money."
"Ah?! Can you tell me more specifically?"
…
…
"One more question, Lieutenant General Allen, I saw a plaque hanging behind you that says 'Money's Justice'. Does this conflict with your actions? We all know that Lieutenant General Allen, you
Sometimes you will do whatever it takes to catch pirates or protect civilians. May I ask why you uphold such justice?"
"First of all, this is not 'money justice' behind my back. The word is troublesome after all. You can understand it as the act of spending money, which means that money needs to be invested for justice. This is easy to understand. After all, whether the navy is pursuing
Whether it's pirates or protecting some civilians, what they need most are weapons and ammunition. How do you get these things? Of course, you need to spend money to buy raw materials to make them.
Furthermore, if an ordinary person wants to live a good life, he first needs money to buy daily necessities. Money is indispensable in our lives. In fact, as I answered before, a person does not need money in order to make money.
There's nothing wrong with it, as long as it's not committing adultery, there's no problem.
Joining the navy is a good choice for ordinary people. You can not only achieve your own justice and catch pirates, but also make money to support your family. This is very important to everyone. This is mine
idea."
"So that's it. Lieutenant General Allen's words are really thought-provoking." The pen in Morgans' hand quickly recorded Allen's answer in the notebook. If he couldn't record it, the recording phone bug came to help. He followed the procedure and prepared to ask the final question.
Question, "Then there is one last question, Lieutenant General Allen..."
"Report!" Rosinandi pushed open the door and barged in. The young man's face was very solemn, "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, push into the city..."
Allen waved his hand and directly interrupted Rosinandi's words, and said to Morgans: "That's it, President Morgans. Just delete the next question. There should be no problem."
"No problem, of course no problem. Thank you Lieutenant General Allen for taking the time to be interviewed by our World Economic News. You have work to do first."
Morgans is very discerning. It is obvious that what happened in Impel Down City now, but naturally this kind of military information cannot be known to him as an outsider. Although he seems to know what happened in Impel Down City, compared with the secret, it is still his.
Safety is more important.
If you hear something you shouldn't hear, you'll be in big trouble.
Morgans would not be so naive as to think that being able to interview Allen this time proves how powerful their World Economic News is. For a newspaper, the World Government and the Navy are behemoths.
Not to mention the distance, the smoke from Ohara's demon-slaying order in the nearby West Sea has not completely dissipated.
After Morgans left, Allen looked at Rosinand.
The young man scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I was too anxious."
"It's good to know." Allen did not forget to take the opportunity to teach Rosie Nandi, "Little Rosie, you have to know that it is very important to be able to keep your emotions and anger in check when facing important things. In any case, you can't let something happen suddenly.
Things that disturb your mind, otherwise you are very likely to make wrong judgments or decisions, which is very fatal."
"Yes, Lieutenant General Allen, I understand." Rosinandi answered seriously.
Allen said: "Well, tell me, what happened?"
