A few more days passed, and the Neo Marines's World Military Draft came to a halt.
It's not that no one is coming, it's just that the manpower quota is full. Recruiting any more would just create redundant soldiers and personnel, which would only be a burden.
Interestingly, the Neo Marines recruits 50% new recruits and 50% veterans, totaling 3.08 million personnel.
The new recruits were naturally young and strong men from various places. They were physically robust but had no training experience whatsoever; they were complete novices.
The veterans recruited were transferred from the navy. While they might not be battle-hardened, they were certainly well-trained.
They belong to the type whose Dao heart was shattered by what Luo Wen had said before, and who then abandoned darkness for light.
With the addition of 3.08 million newly recruited soldiers, plus the 500,000 veterans already present Marineford War, the Neo Marines now has a total strength of over 3.58 million.
This figure of 3.58 million does not include full-time military personnel in logistics roles; if logistics were included, the number would be in the tens of millions.
Even without waiting for the new recruits to complete their training, the Neo Marines has the capability to fully take over the world.
At the same time, the World Government's large-scale conscription also came to a halt.
It wasn't that they didn't want to recruit, but they simply couldn't, so they had to give up.
However, if you include the laborers and slaves they plundered, they could still muster 501,321 new recruits.
However, even with the addition of these new recruits, the navy's size is only about one-fifth of what it used to be, with a mere 1.5 million sailors.
Fortunately, the World Government recruited three brand-new Admiral.
Ryokugyu Admiral Aramaki, Golden Bear Admiral Kastron, Black Snake Admiral Ulter.
The addition of these three individuals is certainly something to boast about.
After all, ordinary people in the world don't know about the existence of the God's Knights. As long as they see three Admiral joining the Navy, they will definitely think that the World Government still has the strength to fight.
Therefore, the Neo Marines and the World Government simultaneously sent out messages to demonstrate the results of this operation.
However, just like the recruitment propaganda, the World Government's achievements were presented in a two-sided manner, published by the World Economy News Paper Neo Marines distributed worldwide.
The front of the newspaper was smooth and flat, displaying the achievements of the Neo Marines.
[On November 20th, 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar, the fourteen-day World Military Draft ended, and the Neo Marines welcomed 3.08 million new comrades. Under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen, the Neo Marines embarked on a new era of glory.]
[Meanwhile, the Neo Marines finalized its six Admiral positions. Fujitora Issho, Zephyr the Buddha Sengoku, Black Arm, Momousagi Gion, Aokiji Kuzan, Kizaru Borsalino were the original six Admiral of the Neo Marines.]
[... Under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Luo Wen and his six Admiral, the Neo Marines will ultimately achieve final victory.]
On the back of the newspaper, the World Government's recruitment results were printed.
[After fourteen days, the World Government and Navy recruited a total of 501,321 personnel, a remarkable achievement. (Note: The World Economy News Paper notes that the current total naval strength is approximately 1.5 million to 2 million personnel, making it a formidable force.)]
[Besides the 500,000 aspiring recruits, three Admiral, with keen insight, decisively joined the World Government. Admiral Golden Bear Kastron, Admiral Ryokugyu Aramaki, and Admiral Black Snake Ulter, all Admiral are Logia Fruit users, drawn by the World Government's 800-year-old prestige.]
[Saint Saturn: The World Government's power, spanning eight hundred years, is vast and mighty; though it may face temporary storms, it will ultimately stand firm.]
When this double-sided newspaper was printed and distributed around the world, it immediately attracted enormous attention.
The first to start the discussion were the new recruits of the Neo Marines.
"Our Neo Marines has recruited 3.08 million men; we'd love to recruit those 80,000 as well."
"The World Government is recruiting just over 500,000 soldiers, they're practically writing down every single sperm in a man's scrotum, they're really desperate!" Morick chuckled as he looked at the newspaper.
"That's why people try to show off what they lack most. But seriously, are there really half a million fools willing to join the World Government's side?"
Hans seemed somewhat puzzled.
Logically speaking, after the Paramount War, the World Government and the Navy lost all prestige, and were even exposed as Godslayer.
After that, the entire World Government shrank back into a shell, and its territory was reduced to less than a third of what it used to be.
It's already unbelievable that such a corrupt World Government could recruit anyone, let alone have 500,000 people join World Government.
"There are fools, but not this many. I heard the World Government just kidnapped laborers and slaves to make up the numbers," Morick said with a sneer.
Hans spat in utter disgust, "Pah! What a despicable scumbag!"
He believed that the World Government was capable of such a thing as capturing slaves and civilians to make up the numbers.
After all, there were quite a few people who were captured and forced to build bridges and palaces in the past, and everyone had heard of the atrocities committed by the World Government.
"But what about those three Admiral who joined the World Government? They can't be slaves, can they?"
Looking at the photos of Golden Bear, Ryokugyu, and Black Snake, Hans had a new question.
"Have you heard of these three before?" Morick asked rhetorically, then explained, "Maybe they're just Admiral hyped up by the World Government to Stronger their prestige?"
"And even among true Admiral, the World Government is no match for our Neo Marines."
"Our Neo Marines now has six Admiral, five of whom are world-renowned powerhouses, and even the least famous Admiral Fujitora has publicly demonstrated his strength Supreme Swordsman."
"Six to three, it looks like we're the clear winner!"
Morick raised his neck, revealing a proud expression.
It possessed six Admiral, commanded an army of 3.5 million, and used the entire North Blue as its weapons and logistical supply base.
He had never heard of such a powerful military force before.
He was proud to be a member of the Neo Marines!
"That's right! Our Neo Marines will soon defeat the World Government!"
Hans was deeply moved by Morick's words and also straightened his back.
