Chapter 488 News About Akainu

At the beginning, the representatives of the allied countries were a little puzzled, and they didn't understand why Wu Laoxing would make such obviously rhythmic words, but after reading the information in their hands, their eyes became strange.

It turned out that before they knew it, the Kingdom of Dressrosa, the Dongtata clan, and the Shichibukai Katakuri had recreated a "Seven Water Capital" in the Totland Sea area of ​​the New World.

Now it has a level close to 40% of the capital of seven waters, and this Dongtata family is actually a good hand at cultivating plants. It is estimated that in three years, the tree reserves of the shipyard in Totland will exceed The capital of seven waters.

You know, under the premise that most of the logs shipped from the kingdom, except for domestic sales, are mostly sold to the capital of seven waters, it is extremely terrifying that the Dongtata family can rely on their excellent planting ability to compete against the entire supply chain. .

But what does this have to do with them? The king of one of the franchise countries seemed to realize this, and asked, "Does this have anything to do with economic globalization?"

On the surface, they are asking what this has to do with economic globalization, but the core question is how they can benefit from it, although this matter does not necessarily have to be for profit.

However, if you do something, or promote a thing, without the support of interests, then it will not have any attraction, and it will not be able to inspire motivation.

"Ahem, I think it has a lot to do with it."

Before King Liku could come up with an answer, Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom was the first to speak, and he said: "Everyone knows that the Dragon Palace Kingdom now assumes the transfer point of the great waterway trade.

But in the past few years, I have also discovered some problems, that is, the new world is very short of supplies. I don't know if everyone here has any experience in sending royal caravans.

Although the new world trade route is very profitable, there is one topic that cannot be avoided, and that is loss.

In the great waterway, the loss of merchant ships is too great. Leaving aside the problem of pirates that we cannot cure, the wind, waves and weather of the great waterway alone will damage many ships.

In the past few years, the Dragon Palace Kingdom has taken in many merchants whose merchant ships are no longer available. Some of them brought back a large amount of funds from the New World, but they can only spend a lot of money to let other caravans send them back.

And after returning, they need to rebuild the merchant ships. In this case, no matter how profitable the New World is, it will be difficult to accumulate enough wealth to bring back to the kingdom and use it to build the kingdom.

But such a loss can be alleviated in the first half of the great channel. What is the reason? Even if there is a capital of seven waters, repairs, maintenance, and renovations can all be completed in the capital of seven waters.

Therefore, in the first half of the Great Channel, the loss of caravans and merchant ships is far lower than that of the New World.

To solve this problem, I think it would be a very effective way for New World to have a controllable franchise country that can function as the capital of seven waters. "

After listening to Neptune's explanation, many kings realized that, as kings, they seldom worried or thought about such issues.

But after being pointed out by Neptune, he immediately realized, what is the purpose of doing business to make money? Isn't it just for returning home?

The New World can make money, and can make a lot of money, but if the money earned in the New World can only be spent in the New World, then... this is not of much benefit to them.

But if, as Neptune said, the existence of the Dung Tata Kingdom can provide more protection for their kingdom's caravans and bring more money back to the kingdom, then that would be a beautiful thing.

Not only is the risk of royal caravans reduced, but other private caravans can also bring more wealth back to their home countries. A large part of that money is taxation!

If the tax revenue can be increased, the pressure on the gold in the sky will be much less.

At this time, King Liku glanced at Neptune gratefully. After all, he had not imagined in advance how to answer the question raised by the franchise country. If the answer was not good, then the franchise country would be less willing to agree.

Even if the Five Old Stars have personally set the rhythm, if there is no real interest, the Five Old Stars will not be able to force the franchise countries to agree to make the Dong Tata Kingdom a world government franchise country.

Neptune nodded at King Liku, then quickly glanced at Skyler's seat, and then quickly glanced back. King Liku instantly understood that Neptune was invited by Skyler to praise him!

The five old stars also nodded frequently at this time. I didn't expect that Neptune, who was five big and three thick, would have such a delicate mind. If it was true what Neptune said, then the franchise countries would definitely be richer.

In this case, when the time comes, the Kingdom of Dongtata, the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and the Shichibukai and the Four Emperors will jointly increase local taxes and shipyard operating costs. In this way, won't the world government have another income?

Not only that, but once all the kingdoms are endowed, can the amount of Heavenly Gold, which has not been changed for a long time, be slightly increased?

The world government can get a lot, but as a price, it only makes the non-member country of the Dong Tata Kingdom a member country of the world government.

As for cooperating with pirates like the Four Emperors? That is a matter for the franchise countries themselves, what does it have to do with their world government? Is the behavior of the member countries going to rise to the world government? !

What's more, Katakuri is not only the fourth emperor Charlotte Katakuri, but also the king's Shichibukai Charlotte Katakuri, and the cooperation with Shichibukai, isn't it in the original Qibukai plan, Qibuhai One of your privileges?

And if there is any cooperation between Katakuri and Kaido at that time, such as Hailou Stone and Liquor Iron Mine, after Katakuri purchases it, it will be sold to the member countries of the world government, and then the member countries will trade with the world government.

In this way, the world government can obtain a large number of cheap and high-quality products, and then sell these products to the member countries. Wouldn't the world government have a lot of income?

Liquor iron ore is a high-quality material for making weapons!

It's not just the wine iron ore, but also Hailoushi. Several agencies under the World Government, whether it's the Navy, Advance City or CP, have a lot of demand for Hailoushi.

If you can get sea building stones at a lower cost, the world government can save a lot of money. How wonderful is that?

The world government only needs to pay for an insignificant member country seat, and can get a lot of income, and at the same time, it can avoid some secrets that may be discovered in cooperation with pirates

For the world government, this is also a beneficial and harmless matter. Therefore, after reading the proposal submitted by King Liku, the five old stars will come out and take the rhythm in person.

Originally, they had to wait for someone to guide them, but they didn't expect that King Neptune of the Dragon Palace Kingdom had such a high level of ideological awareness, which saved them all these verbal efforts.

Neptune, a good partner of the world government!

At this time, the blind Wulaoxing asked in the direction of the navy: "This time, Katakuri also came to participate in the World Conference?"

When I asked this question, but no one from the navy side answered, King Liku's eyelids twitched, because Katakuri was escorting him and charged him a large fee!

But no one noticed this, Zhan Guo nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Wu Lao Xing."

Blind Wu Laoxing nodded, and then said: "After that, at the Qiwuhai meeting, you should focus on discussing this issue with him. Where is the territory of the Dongtata Kingdom?"

As soon as this sentence came out, many kings of the franchise countries were puzzled. After all, the information clearly stated that the Dong Tata clan was located in Dressrosa. It is possible that the five old stars did not know.

But some people began to suck their teeth. They didn't believe that the five old stars hadn't even read the materials of the Dongtata Kingdom. After all, just taking the rhythm showed their understanding of the Dongtata Kingdom.

This question must be asked because the people of the Kingdom of Dongtata are actually living in the sea area of ​​Totland. After all, in order to plant enough trees, almost the whole country of Dongtata is busy in the sea area of ​​Totland.

In this way, there is a problem, that is, the Kingdom of Dongtata, their territory should be counted as the not-so-large forest in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Or even the place where he lives and works now is included. After all, is a kingdom without its citizens still considered the territory of the kingdom?

Just like the Dragon Palace Kingdom, the Murloc Island belonged to them before, but they chose to relocate, and the current Murloc Island no longer belongs to the Dragon Palace Kingdom, but belongs to the World Government and is under the jurisdiction of the Navy.

The real question for the Five Old Stars is probably to see if Katakuri is willing to sell some of the territory in the Totland sea area, making it the territory of the Dong Tata Kingdom, and going further. It belongs to the jurisdiction of the world government .

As we all know, the Totland sea area is named Charlotte! Although for several years, the sea area of ​​Totland fell and was divided up by countless pirates, but now, it has been recovered by Katakuri.

And Katakuri has also become what people call the Four Emperors Katakuri. It is cruel enough to bite off a piece of land from the mouth of the Four Emperors and make it count as the sea area under the jurisdiction of the world government.

Warring States also heard the implication of Wu Laoxing in an instant, and his face became a little dignified. After all, he did not have the confidence to let Katakuri sell a piece of land.

Not to mention Katakuri, the king of the sea, even the kings of other non-member countries, those kingdoms that have no resistance to the world government, cannot agree to such a request.

Not to mention the emperor of the sea?

Taking Whitebeard, who is also the Four Emperors, as an example, Whitebeard gave up 219 nautical miles of sea area, but this piece of sea area was not given up to the World Government, not even to the Navy, but to Skyler.

Although the 219 nautical mile waters are now under the jurisdiction of the navy, they are actually considered to be under the jurisdiction of the world government, but no one will put this matter on the table, including the world government itself.

Even when Schuyler refused to enter the 219 nautical mile waters for people other than the Navy, the Five Old Stars did not object. Apart from Schuyler himself, there was another important reason, that is, this sea area, in name does not belong to the World Government.

But the same as the Four Emperors, the Five Old Stars now actually want the navy to get a piece from Katakuri, whether it is in name or in fact, it belongs to the territory under the jurisdiction of the world government.

Warring States looked at Skyler, who was actually taking off his knife equipment for maintenance in this kind of meeting, and directly shook the pot, saying: "The Shichibukai meeting has always been in charge of Lieutenant General Skyler."

As soon as these words came out, both Wulaoxing and Skyler frowned.

The meaning of Warring States is very clear, that is, if you want to talk about this matter, you can go to Skyler to negotiate, and if the negotiation fails, you will punish Skyler.

Eight years ago, it was also the World Conference, and it was also in the holy land of Mary Joa, Karp said a word.

"The sky is falling, and my daughter is holding it up!"

After all these years, Warring States has never understood the reason why Wu Laoxing's attitude towards Schuyler is, but it does not prevent him from understanding that Wu Laoxing dare not really treat Skyler like other navies.

In other words, if it is Skyler, they may not make concessions. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Navy to blame Skyler.

Although Skyler didn't understand, or didn't listen to what Wulaoxing said just now, she realized that the Warring States period blamed her. This is her intuition! Plus. The navy is a bunch of bastards, the higher the level the more bastards!

When both parties frowned, the meeting site fell silent again, and Wu Laoxing really did not hint to Skyler as he had hinted to Warring States just now.

Although there were other people present who understood Wu Laoxing's implication, they didn't dare to speak at this time.

After being silent for a while, Wu Laoxing, who was holding a sword, said: "The Qiwuhai meeting hasn't started yet. You can study it yourself later to see if you can cooperate and win-win."

Warring States nodded and said, "Our navy will definitely do our best."

Skyler, on the other hand, looked at the Warring States with an incredulous expression, good guy, when he dumped the blame just now, it was "Lieutenant General Skyler", now that Wu Laoxing has taken the blame back, is it "Our Navy"? ? !

Are you a human? ! But Schuyler also had to admit that Sengoku was a typical leader.

These two incidents have eased the atmosphere just now, and the World Conference has finally returned to the right track. One by one proposals have been brought up for discussion, and the World Government has shown an attitude of solving national problems for the member countries!

Skyler, on the other hand, continued to maintain his own knives. Two black knives and a short white knives, which were also big and fast, were constantly disassembled and assembled in the meeting room, which distracted many representatives of the franchise countries.

After a whole day's meeting, Wulaoxing didn't even mention the issue of military expenditures. It seemed that they had tacitly agreed that the navy's military expenditures would not change. Other CP officers did not dare to raise this issue.

After all, in the previous internal meeting, they learned that the Navy still has their handles in their hands. They don't want to be the second Spandam, so how could they ask for trouble.

As for the military expenditure, we have survived the past eight years. At worst, we can survive for another four years, and we will talk about it after four years.

The first day of the meeting ended, and Skyler didn't go to the meeting for the next few days, and this year's Shichibukai meeting didn't start so soon.

This is the decision of the Navy. The Shichibukai meeting was put in the third week. The reason is naturally to make time for Drake to find enough evidence.

As for the seven Shichibukai, it doesn't matter when the meeting will be held, after all, they still have to stay in Marie Gioia until the end of the entire world meeting.

"Sakaski will be here tomorrow, let's discuss the content of the meeting."

Finally, on the twelfth day, Sengoku received news from Akainu.
