Chapter 684: Ye Luo's Political Wisdom
Mihawk, who watched the warship leave, turned and left without saying a word. As for Shanks’ ridicule, he didn’t take it seriously at all. If everything he said to Shanks was true, then he really couldn’t live down.
Seeing Hawkeye leaving, Shanks shrugged and followed. We have to find this guy for a drink at tonight's banquet!
On the warship, Ye Luo found a recliner and came out. He had been lying on the deck when he hadn't been on a warship for a long time.
"Teacher, are we going directly back to the headquarters?" Guerrero looked a bit mighty in his navy attire.
"Of course, what else do you want to do, kid?" Ye Luo said directly without opening his eyes.
Guerrero rubbed his head and said with a smile: "That's not true, there is a food island not far ahead. I was thinking about turning a corner and taking a look. I heard that the food there is very delicious!"
"Oh? I'm fine. You can go and ask Mrs. Smoothie! If she wants to go too, it doesn't matter if we take a detour!" Ye Luo nodded and replied.
"Okay!" Upon hearing that, Guerrero immediately ran back to the cabin to find Smoothie with a smile.
Ye Luo shook her head amusedly and ignored it.
The crew on the ship knew that the person lying on the deck was the Admiral of the Navy, so they walked lightly when passing the deck, and their captain was the apprentice of the Admiral, otherwise who would have the honor? Let the Marshal take their warships?
The journey was uneventful and nothing unexpected happened.
Not even a pirate was met.
In fact, this is considered normal. The navy is the strongest force in the current sea. Most people really dare not provoke it, and there is no need for those who are capable of provoking it.
However, when they were about to approach the Gourmet Island, there were more merchant ships on the sea. When some merchant ships saw the Navy warship, they immediately approached and expressed their hope that they could follow the warship and go to the Gourmet Island.
Although it is only a day or so away from Food Island, and the chance of encountering pirates is not high, it is safer to have the navy!
These businessmen didn't tell Bailey either. They knew that the navy would not accept it, so they sent some special products on their ships. The navy still doesn't prohibit such things.
Guerrero shied away a few times because Ye Luo was on the boat, but seeing that Ye Luo didn't care, he accepted it.
He was not the only one on the warship, so he didn't need the gift, but after the sailors on the ship got it, they could also take it back as a gift, no matter what, it was better than going back empty-handed!
So after seeing that Ye Luo didn't object, Guerrero took these things and distributed them directly to his subordinates.
"I said... you usually perform missions at sea, don't you do such things?" Ye Luo, who was lying on the deck chair, pointed to the deck chair beside him and asked Guerrero.
Guerrero didn't hide it, and said: "This does happen often. The Navy has express regulations that it is not allowed to collect various forms of protection fees, so the merchants also know that if we give Bailey, we will not take it!
But if you don’t give anything, follow us, and you’re afraid that we won’t help them at critical moments, so you often send some goods on board to express your gratitude!
Under normal circumstances, we will not refuse, because the things are not expensive, they are just some of their thoughts. Sometimes when they encounter tourist ships, they have no goods, and they will invite our soldiers to attend the banquet there. This is almost becoming a convention. up! "
"Huh? That's not acceptable! I don't object to accepting small gifts, but you have to pay attention, what will you do if an enemy uses this method? Go to someone else's boat to participate in the banquet? Are you afraid of being completely wiped out? "Ye Luo said with a frown.
"Teacher, don't worry, all the gifts will be opened when they are delivered. We are also afraid that they will send some strange things in the name of gifting special products. There have been generals who accepted other people's special products and opened them when they returned to the headquarters. It turned out to be a box of gold, and he was downgraded straight away.
So now we will open the gifts on the spot, and only accept them after confirming that they are not valuables! As for those who participated in the banquet were ordinary soldiers, all officers were not allowed to leave the ship without incident, and if they were discovered, they would be punished! said Guerrero with a smile.
"It seems that I have to add a department to supervise you! Otherwise, if some generals can't resist the temptation and ruin the reputation of the navy, I might not even know it!" Ye Luo touched his chin and said.
"Isn't it possible? With the current atmosphere in our navy, there is no need for everyone to take risks to earn such a small amount of protection money. Doing a good job is better than anything else!" Guerrero shook his head and said.
"It's possible now, but what about in the future? Can you guarantee that the navy will not be corrupt? I don't want the future navy to become the Tianlong people in the past, looking aloof! The navy is the patron saint of the masses, and we are with the common people! This One point must not be forgotten!
What is justice...? Losing the support of the people is the time for the navy to perish! "Ye Luo shook his head and said.
"Yes, thank you teacher for teaching!" Guerrero listened humbly, nodded and replied: "Then teacher plans to establish a new department?"
"No, it's not our navy that will do this! It would be great if this matter is entrusted to the federal republic government!" Ye Luo shook his head and said.
"Leave it to them? Teacher, I don't know if it's my illusion. I always feel that the Federal Republic government seems to be targeting our navy more and more!" Guerrero said with a frown.
"They did target them, and I also know that because our navy is developing too fast, they can't keep up with our rhythm, and they are afraid that the navy will become the dominant force in the sea, so they are targeting us intentionally or unintentionally!" Ye Luo said with a smile.
"Then you still hand over such an important position to them? Wouldn't we be targeted even more?" Guerrero asked puzzled.
"Idiot, I give them the right to report, but the right to judge is handed over to Judicial Island. The Ministry of Judicial Island is under the jurisdiction of the federal republic government, and they can't reach it. So they go to monitor and report if they find problems. Judicial Island It is finally determined that if the report is true, the navy will punish it internally, and if it retaliates against the wronged person, the person who reported it will be punished." Ye Luo said with a smile.
"That's the way it is. The teacher is thoughtful. Let others do the hard work. We just need to ensure that there are no problems within the navy. Even if there are some scum, we can deal with them directly internally, and it won't affect The reputation of the navy." Guerrero said in admiration.
"Study hard! You are still far behind! Go away if you have nothing to do, I'm going to sleep! Call me when you get there, I haven't been shopping with your mistress for a long time!" Ye Luo yawned and cursed with a smile Said.
After saluting with a smile, Guerrero left to prepare for landing.
