Chapter 854: A Traitor Among Us (Unmistakable)!
The branch base leaders all returned to their respective bases to deal with the pirate attack, and they had to fight each other before to avoid being defeated by the pirate army one by one, so they couldn't leave.
And at this time, outside, it is someone who can make Akainu so angry......
Tsuru thought of a possibility.
"That little ghost, really escaped?!"
Just thinking like this, suddenly Akainu retracted his expression and sneered.
"Oh no, I don't think you're going to come back now."
On the other end of the phone bug, Ron didn't hear the abnormality in Akainu's voice, and thought he had guessed his plan, so he nodded and said.
"Yes, I really don't plan to come back right now."
Picking up a campfire, Ron said as he tore at the grilled fish, "How's it going out there now?" β
"The scale is ahead of schedule, and the garrison of the headquarters has even been reduced to less than 30,000, and your assassination force and airship force are only worth 40,000...... But it's still within the scope of coping. β
Akainu glanced at the crane who walked back, and continued: "Oric thinks that we are still the same as before, and he wants to make us unable to support us by blooming everywhere, I think he has miscalculated!" β
In the past, the navy was far away from the mountains, and even if there was an accident in the sea near the branch base, it was difficult to rush over to support.
But that was before!
Since Ron proposed and implemented the Global Village project, the transportation network centered on the branch has made a qualitative leap forward in the mobility of the navy!
Coupled with the well-equipped airboats, Orrick's troops were like fish caught in a net, and they were divided into pieces.
"That's good, then I'm even more relieved that I won't come back."
Hearing this, Akainu sneered.
"Oh? So how long are you going to take time off? β
"I don't know, it depends."
Ron shook his head: "Who said it clearly about working behind enemy lines...... And I suspect that we have a traitor in the middle, and it is better not to come back. β
Swish!
Akainu instantly widened his eyes and looked at the crane.
"What do you mean?!"
"I guess you should have ...... lately It's very busy, so there's not a lot of post-war analysis about the war with the Red of the Lonely High and the World Destroyers, right? β
Akainu frowned, and Ron just got it right.
He's only slept for seven hours these days, so he doesn't have the time to take care of a battle that's already over.
At most, Kirby and Donte are already on their way, guided along the paper of life, ready to pick up Ron.
"But I'm more idle, so I'm okay to make a summary myself."
If you are locked in a cage and can't do anything, can you not be idle?
Ron rubbed his aching wrist and continued, "So I found a problem! β
"What is it?"
"In addition to me and General Yellow Ape in the battle that day, the other lieutenant generals involved included Flying Squirrel, Dongte, Tea Dolphin, Mozambia, Dalmeia...... The G5 branch of the Mozambian lieutenant general is known for its science and technology, and their mine defense circle must be cautious even if it is our own. β
"You don't know yet, do you? The person who took advantage of the fire to rob this time was a general under the command of Orrick, and his strength was not inferior to that of our three admirals, and he bypassed our defense line and went deep into the rear, unlike the Red of the Lonely High, who came from underwater in a submarine. β
If you want to bypass the naval patrol and go deep into the hinterland without anyone detecting it, just look at the fate of the Third Patrol, which is something that even the lonely red can't do.
Hiss......!
Akainu gasped and was about to say something, when Tsuru had already placed a defense map in front of him.
There's a red-painted area on it, and it's exactly what Ron calls the Mine Defense Circle!
"The mines in the mine defense circle are not simply floating on the surface of the water, but are high and low like fish, the purpose is to completely eliminate the back road from being outflanked by the enemy, and the sea area is built into an iron plate, and there are only three access routes, only our own people know."
Ron tossed the fish bones aside, the corners of his mouth curled, and his eyes were cold: "I've already killed this subordinate under Orrick's command, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't his special ability that helped them avoid the mines." β
"So beyond that, the only answer is ......"
"Someone leaked!!"
Boom!!
Akainu angrily pressed on the defense map, and the flowing magma instantly ignited it, and along with the wooden table behind it, it burned a charred black slap print.
"Any guesses?"
"No, but the only person who knows the specific mine map is the person whose name I just pronounced, and they handed over the mine map to someone who must remember it vividly, and follow this line to investigate...... It should be possible to investigate something. β
Ron's tone was uncertain, the range was too big after all!
To be precise, the person whose name he pronounced only had the highest priority to know, and in order to carry out the task, the line must be handed over to the enforcement force, and the devil knows how many people are suspicious.
"Understood, so you're going to hide so that this hateful traitor can't know your whereabouts and be a surprise soldier."
Akainu instantly understood Ron's plan, and continued along the train of thought: "Understood, I will announce the news that you have returned, anyway, the imitation fruit is in our hands, and it is not a problem to fake it." β
Yo, you've learned to draw inferences!
Ron looked at the phone bug in shock.
Is this still the Akainu I know?
"How can my marshal be so cunning! γ
"Yes, that's it."
Ron took a bite of the grilled fish, and the smell of the meat brought him back to his senses: "He will definitely be notified of my escape, but we are doing this in the eyes of the other party, and he may show some kind of hindrance for the purpose of finding us...... By the way, I can also do something in secret, and if Orrick thinks that this matter can be calmed down by killing a few people, I can only say that he is too naΓ―ve! β
The two armies faced each other, and what was terrifying was not the generals who called for battle on the surface, but the hidden arrows.
Originally, everyone didn't have that chance, and their every move was monitored by the other party.
Now that Orrick has delivered the opportunity to himself, Ron himself feels uneasy in his conscience if he doesn't use it.
Biting into the fragrant grilled fish, Ron grinned.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something......
Wait a minute!
If Akainu didn't know about these things, then why did he say "I don't think you're going to come back now?"
What did he think I wasn't going to go back to?
"Horse ...... Masaka! β
Ron looked down at the telegraph beside him, one of the communication tools he had put in the ring...... Remembering the contents of the telegram he had sent to Donte a few days ago, Ron jumped up with a "swoop".
"Huh? Did something happen to you over there? β
Akainu hadn't returned to his original train of thought, and he asked with a frown when he heard the movement.
"It's nothing, I got stuck in my throat by a fish bone...... It's okay, I'll hang up first, marshal, and I'll be absent for this time. β
Without waiting for Akainu to answer, Ron couldn't wait to hang up the phone.
POIοΌ
Looking at the phone bug that fell into a deep sleep in his hand, Akainu looked up at Tsuru and complained.
"This bastard, I didn't make the specific details clear, so anxious to hang up the power...... Words ......"
As he spoke, he slowly deepened, and as soon as Akainu grasped the broken earpiece, his face was full of anger and anger under the trembling gaze of the phone bug.
"Damn!! He got into it!! β
Watching Akainu study in vain how the phone bug got the call back when the receiver broke, Tsuru shook his head.
"It's ......"
Then he smiled.
"Glad to hear!"
