Chapter 217

Smoker, who was organizing documents, looked up toward the door: "Come in!"

"Cough cough~ can you open the window? The room is full of smoke."

Smoker laughed: "Used to it. Heard you just came back from Totto Land? How is the situation?"

"It's alright! The mission was a complete success."

After saying this, Karl sat down on a chair and looked at Smoker: "How about you? How is your work going recently?"

Smoker shook his head: "So-so. After the public trial, many Marine generals took the initiative to submit self-criticisms, but they are all small problems. The kind of big fish from before might not be caught."

"Hahaha, isn't that good? Isn't this exactly what you hope to see? The freer you are, the better the current Marines are."

Smoker showed a smile: "That's true, but I've been thinking recently whether to rectify the style problems of some Marines, such as some Marine generals of the Hawk faction, who often..."

Before he finished speaking, Karl immediately interrupted: "It's best not to get involved in this. As long as they haven't colluded with pirates or engaged in corruption, it's best not to care."

"But, these people, in order to complete the mission, completely disregard the lives of civilians. What kind of Marines are they? What exactly have they protected?"

"Shouldn't we care?"

Karl shook his head: "They completed the mission, didn't they? What right do you have to blame them?"

"This is different. Just like you said before, there are many ways to complete a mission, there must be a way to have the best of both worlds. Why sacrifice the lives of civilians to kill pirates?"

"A soldier's duty is to obey orders. I know what you are thinking, Smoker, but these are not problems that should be considered at the current stage."

"Your mission is to ensure that there are no more worms within the Marines colluding with pirates or engaging in corruption. As for the rest, don't care for the time being, otherwise, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will become history."

After speaking, Karl walked out of the office. Smoker was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

"The road is long and the burden is heavy!" ===== CHAPTER 219 =====
