Marine Headquarters Not many people know about the arrival of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, because World Military Draft has just ended, and at this time, all the major campuses in the headquarters and even the Marineford square are overcrowded, all of them are recruits undergoing training.
Dragon, who walked into Marineford Square under the leadership of Gion and Hina, gradually became serious. Koala was even frightened by the momentum of the naval soldiers in training. He instinctively retreated behind Dragon, his palms sweating from nervousness due to the loud shouts that kept coming from around him.
However, Koala simply felt pressure and became nervous because of it, while Dragon had a completely different feeling.
Apart from anything else, the training methods of these recruits are completely different from when he served in the army. The previous training and selection of new recruits were mainly based on personal abilities, and it was a method of casting a wide net. As far as possible, some outstanding soldiers were selected from the recruits. As for soldiers with mediocre performance, they were either distributed to major branches or became the background of major officers.
As for the navy soldiers who were training at this time, all the instructors focused on training these recruits to have a sense of teamwork. In the recruit training class he just passed by, just because one of the soldiers made a mistake, the entire class was punished.
What surprised him the most was the way the instructors trained the new recruits, which impressed him even as the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
"This is the training method formulated by Lord Marshal!"
Gion seemed to know what Dragon was observing, and took the initiative to explain, "Unlike the previous recruit training, now the recruit training of the headquarters and major branches no longer focuses on selecting officer seeds. Both those with powerful abilities and ordinary soldiers must undergo team combat training. Anyone who relies on their outstanding strength to leave the team and go their own way during the training period will be expelled from the navy, and in serious cases will face extremely severe punishment!"
"Of course there are exceptions. For example, those selected by Lord Marshal can skip the training stage and become Headquarters Officer. Several people in this recruitment were favored by Lord Marshal, namely Colonel Katakuri, Rear Admiral Fujitora, and Rear Admiral Ryokugyu!"
"Except for a few of them, the rest must receive training in tactics, physical fitness, combat, psychology, etc. Tactical training is mainly focused on teamwork, while physical fitness and combat training prepare the recruits for practicing Navy Six Styles, Observation Haki and Armament Haki after training."
"Huh?"
Dragon's pupils shrank, "Have you started exposing the soldiers to Navy Six Styles after the recruit training?"
Gion smiled and nodded, "As long as they pass the recruit training, anyone can come into contact with Navy Six Styles, Observation Haki and Armament Haki."
Before Dragon could react, a sharp shout suddenly came from a recruit training class in front of him. Soon an instructor walked quickly to the recruits and roared at one of the recruits, "Soldier 999527, what are you doing? Stand still, are you a wooden stake?"
"Tell the instructor, I was just thinking about something happy!"
"Happy things? Say it to make everyone happy too!"
"I'm going to be a dad soon, hahaha..."
"This is indeed a happy thing. Everyone is here to celebrate by running a hundred laps around Marineford Square!"
As soon as this statement came out, other soldiers started to explode.
"999527, I will be killed by you today!"
"This is the third time. 999527, you are not done yet! You are the one who wants to be a father, not us. Why are you dragging us to be punished with you?"
"Haha, when my son is born, let him call you daddy!"
"That's pretty much it, brothers, let's run!"
Looking at the swarm of soldiers running past, Dragon once again had a flash of doubt in his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Now the soldiers all have their own numbers?"
"Yes!"
Gion explained impatiently, "After World Military Draft ended this time, Lord Marshal introduced a numbering system, so that each soldier or officer has his own number. Once a soldier or officer dies, their number will be sealed. If the descendants or immediate relatives of the owner of the number want to join the navy, the number will be restarted, allowing their relatives and descendants to inherit and enjoy all the glory brought by this number!"
"Number inheritance system?" Dragon was shocked. This system seems simple, but in fact it has a very terrifying cohesion. Especially the number glory can also be inherited. No one can resist it. Especially those soldiers at the bottom, who doesn't want to change the destiny of themselves and their descendants in this way? If one person serves as a soldier, the whole family will be honored. If one person dies in the line of duty, the glory will benefit his relatives and descendants!
With the blessing of this system, even a soldier who is comparable to an ant in front of the strong will fight to the death for the sake of glory! Although it is not ruled out that there are some who are timid and afraid of death, as time goes by, the navy will surely become great because of this system.
Thinking of this, Dragon secretly broke into a cold sweat.
Thinking about their revolutionary army, in order to liberate the people who have been oppressed for a long time in recent years, many times due to the people's deep-rooted ideological restrictions, they have to use some unconventional means, such as using the revolutionary army's Eastern Army Commander Belo Betty's Inspiration Fruit ability to forcibly awaken the people's courage to resist.
He knew this was not a long-term solution, but he couldn't think of a better way for a while.
What he didn't expect was the problem that troubled him. The young Marshal of Marine Headquarters would tightly bind officers, soldiers at all levels, and their family members and descendants together just through a numbering system.
Just think about it, the Navy is recruiting one or two million people for World Military Draft this time. Adding to the original 900,000 people, the Navy now has a huge team of two to three million people.
The most important thing is that behind the two to three million naval forces are two to three million families, and each family has its own relatives and friends.
Once the glory of this numbered successor spreads, more people will yearn for and support the navy, and more young soldiers will be eager to make contributions.
If things go on like this, the navy will become great only secondarily, and it is not an illusion to eventually surpass World Government and become the new world master.
After a brief silence, Dragon slightly raised his head and looked at the navy Headquarters Building who was already close in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart:
"You are actually in your twenties with such skills and wisdom!"
"I still underestimated you after all, Akira!"
