Chapter 629 Bandits? ! (Two in One)
When Ji Guoyuan looked at the desolate scene displayed by Baldigo, it was completely impossible to say that he was not surprised.
Jiguo Enichi has never been to Bardigo before, and his understanding of this country is limited to information. He feels that a place chosen as the headquarters of the revolutionary army can be regarded as rich in natural resources and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
After all, it is the base camp of a big force. Others can see the operating capabilities of the entire force from the level of management of the headquarters. It is like a businessman's car. This person's business is reliable or not, but If the car is in bad condition, it is certain that his business will not be profitable.
Ji Guoyuan had the intention to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army for a long time. He wanted to use the Revolutionary Army's influence around the world to charge forward, draw the attention of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government, and win valuable resources for their new navy. development opportunities.
But now, after seeing the scene with Baldigo, Jiguoyuan's idea is no longer so strong.
He did not think that such a revolutionary army was worth cultivating, and dumping materials and weapons on such a force would not necessarily bring any help to the new navy.
Even if you help too much, the other party may rely on you.
The plight of the people of Bardigo cannot be solved by relying on the resources of Jiguoyuan. Likewise, the hard work of the people of Bardigo cannot solve such a problem.
This geographical location and this natural environment are actually unqualified as the headquarters of a major force.
Baldigo is located in the first half of the Grand Route. The headquarters set up here can neither provide timely assistance to partners fighting all over the world, nor can it build sufficient logistical support to provide soldiers with expenses. In addition to the confidentiality aspect, Except for passing the customs, all other hardware conditions do not meet the strategic needs of the revolutionary army.
Not only that, Baldigo will also devour the food resources of other countries in the same camp, and the resources that Baldigo itself can provide to others are not in short supply needed for the battle. At the same time, this rear area does not produce weapons.
Putting everything together, the best way for the revolutionary army is to take the people of Valdigo out of here and build from scratch in a place with more abundant resources.
Whether in farming or industry, the limited labor force must be utilized so that their power can be transformed into the power of the revolutionary army to advance. Only in this way can the talents here feed back the expansion of the revolutionary army's power, rather than purely To consume resources.
Dolomite is a mineral that Ji Guoyuan is familiar with. Although it is very useful, this mineral is not irreplaceable or indispensable, and it is not even in short supply in the market.
If dolomite is a mineral that is in short supply, the people here can wear a piece of cloth on their heads every day, sing, dance and enjoy life.
"Yuanyi, someone wants to board the ship for inspection. Can it be released?"
After the new navy's ship docked on the shore of Baldigo, a team of people soon came to the shore, raising their heads and shouting to the people on the ship, intending to board the ship for inspection.
Mihawk noticed the change in Tsukuni Enichi's expression and knew that he was thinking about it at this time, but he still chose to ask him for his opinion on such a trivial matter.
Except for swordsmanship, Mihawk doesn't really care about other things, and he even feels a little disgusted with managing these and other things.
In the past, when Ji Guoyuan was away, in order to maintain the New Navy, Mihawk had to make some compromises and personally devote himself to the cause of the New Navy.
But now that Enichi Jiguo is back, Mihawk is actually no longer willing to spend time on those trivial matters. He still wants to hone his sword heart in order to one day defeat Enichi Jiguo.
It is true that the two of them are closely related partners, but one of Mihawk's biggest wishes is actually to be able to defeat Enichi Tsukuni.
"Check?"
"Well, let's check it out. Since we've arrived at their territory, let's follow their rules."
"Just let the crew cooperate well, and there won't be any problems."
When Ji Guoyuan heard that someone wanted to board the ship for inspection, he nodded and had no objection. Although their New Navy has a good reputation, this trip is also for negotiation. There is no need to show their "pride" on the territory of the revolutionary army.
After the wooden ladder was lowered, several people quickly boarded the ship.
These people were dressed simply, and the weapons they carried were cold weapons such as long knives. Jiguo Yuanyi and Mihawk stood on the bow of the boat and turned around to look at these people. After looking at them for a while, their eyes became A little softer.
None of them felt the smell of blood on these people.
If nothing else, these people should be just armed civilians. The inspection of passing ships is just one of the many tasks on the island. They themselves are not that kind of professional soldiers.
When dealing with ordinary people, the tone of the new navy officer who came forward to negotiate also became very kind.
"Hello, everyone, I am the person in charge of this ship, my name is Mason."
"He is a sailing merchant."
"Are you going to inspect the ship? This way, please. There are no prohibited items on our ship. You can check it no matter where it is."
Mason is a major under Mihawk. He is about 25 years old. He has outstanding talent and is young and promising. Mihawk and Ji Guoyuan chose him as their adjutant this time when they went to sea. They also took a fancy to him. His talents and abilities.
Mason is a son of a wealthy family. His elders are wealthy businessmen from a certain country in the New World. However, when Mason grew up, he did not follow the path chosen by his family. Instead, he determined to make his own way in this sea by his own ability. merit.
At a young age, he has already recognized the cruelty of this society. He feels that no matter how big the merchant industry is, there is no way to face the "force majeure" of pirates.
He wanted to take his destiny into his own hands, and becoming a new marine was his choice.
In this negotiation with the Revolutionary Army, Mason also had high hopes from Jiguo Enichi and Mihawk. Not only did this boy dare to fight and fight against the pirates, but he was also influenced by things in the business field. There are also two brushes.
At best, Jiguo Enichi and Mihawk have the final decision-making power, but the details still need to be handled by knowledgeable guys like Mason.
"merchant?!"
"Which trading company are you from? Which country are you from? What is the purpose of coming here?"
What is surprising is that when Baldigo's team arrived on the island, they directly drew the weapons from their waists and looked at Mason and others who came forward to negotiate with unkind eyes.
His tone also became extremely stern, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
This sudden scene also shocked Mason and others. They seemed not to have expected that such a scene would happen after leading these people on board.
Mason's eyes quietly glanced in the direction of Jiguo Yuanyi and Mihawk. For a moment, he seemed to have no idea and didn't know what to do.
Obviously, the accident that occurred at this time has exceeded everyone's expectations.
When Ji Guoyuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He was obviously surprised. When he noticed that Mason was looking in his direction, Ji Guoyuan calmly shook his head gently.
After seeing this scene, Mason felt confident. The look of surprise on his face instantly changed to a worried and flattering smile. Then he spread his hands and said weakly:
"No, no, no!"
"Gentlemen, please don't use the knife." "We are a fleet from the Kingdom of Sorbey! Kingdom of Sorbey!"
Mason also raised the flag of the Kingdom of Sorbe at this moment. This country is the hometown of Xiong. It was once controlled by the New Navy. However, after the country's fate, the New Navy, which implements the contraction policy, will also be stationed in Solbe. The navy of Bei Kingdom withdrew.
In order to prevent this country from returning to the hands of the World Government, the New Navy also invited Long and the others to take over. Of course, with the change of ownership of the Solbe Kingdom, the New Navy and Long's revolutionary army have also established a profound relationship. friendship.
This friendship is not only due to the relationship between Xiong and Ginny, nor is it just the relationship between Jiguo Yuanyi and Long, but there is a certain degree of interest exchange between the two major forces.
People can talk about feelings between people, but it is more trustworthy to talk about interests between forces.
At this time, Mason's statement that they came from the Kingdom of Sorbey was also the secret code for the high-level agreement between the Revolutionary Army and the New Navy.
They thought that the other party would restrain their weapons after hearing the secret signal, but what surprised Tsukikuni Enichi and the others was that after hearing the name of the Solbe Kingdom, these people looked at each other with deep confusion in their eyes. It seems that I have never heard of this country at all.
The leader seemed not to care where Ji Guoyuanyi and the others came from. He raised the long knife in his hand and shouted:
"Nonsense!"
"I don't care where you come from. You guys suddenly appear here wearing the clothes of merchant ships. You must have bad intentions."
"Everyone please be honest, we are going to search the warehouse!"
The leader waved the long knife in front of Mason's face. It seemed that after feeling that his behavior had successfully frightened the opponent, he made a gesture to the team members behind him, asking them to enter the warehouse to check.
As for himself, he looked at the new marines on the deck with a wary face, looking confident.
Jiguo Yuanyi and Mihawk had been standing at the bow of the ship, watching the scene in front of them quietly. Seeing that the other party sent people into the warehouse to check, Mihawk finally frowned and said with some displeasure. :
"These people are a little rough."
Although it was just a very brief sentence, Ji Guoyuan knew that a person with Mihawk's personality could say such a thing because the other person's behavior had angered him.
"Well, let's take a look."
While Enichi Jiguo was talking to Mihawk and the others, a lot of people gathered on the pier.
Some people boarded the wooden ladder and walked towards the deck without even getting permission from Mason and others. After these people came to the deck, they just glanced at Mason and others, and then talked with them. After the soldier with the knife greeted him, he walked towards the cabin carelessly. The whole process was very natural, and he didn't even ask Mason if he allowed them to enter the cabin.
This scene also made Mason's face change slightly, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What does this mean?"
"Who are those people who entered the cabin?"
At this time, Mason already felt something was wrong and frowned.
"Oh, they are my team members."
The man curled his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and said nonchalantly.
After hearing this explanation, Mason was speechless for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he adjusted his mood and stood aside with a cold face to see what the other party wanted to do.
After a long time, the subjects who entered the cabin for inspection walked out one after another. However, unlike their empty hands before entering, they walked out of the cabin carrying many things in large and small bags.
Before Mason could speak, the head chef in charge of the crew's meals had already chased him out and shouted to Mason on the deck:
"Young Captain!"
"They took away all our supplies and food supplies!"
The head chef stopped the car just as the word "major" was about to blurt out. The food reserves on the ship were robbed. In addition to being puzzled, the head chef was more anxious.
Mason's face turned cold when he saw this scene. He put away his timid and flattering smile and asked the person in front of him in a deep voice:
"What is this? Can you give me an explanation?"
Even though he was filled with anger, Mason still maintained his basic courtesy.
"ah?!"
"We found contraband on your ship. Of course these things must be seized!"
"Of course, the same goes for you people. You actually carry so much contraband on the ship. Then don't leave in a hurry. Go to the prison and explain it honestly."
A bright smile appeared on the face of the team member in front of him. It seemed that he felt that the pressure of words alone could not force Mason to surrender. He moved the long knife forward and placed it directly on Mason's neck, without any threat. And metaphor.
"!!!"
Mason probably never dreamed that something like this would happen when he came to negotiate this time.
Isn't this Bardigo? Is the dragon's control over this island so bad? Would such a thing be allowed to happen?
At this time, Mason had no idea in his heart. He didn't know what attitude he should use to deal with these guys. Should he take action directly? He was worried that this would affect the deep friendship between the new navy and the revolutionary army.
But it is obviously impossible to let these people catch him and put him in jail.
Although Mason is nominally the leader of the ship, there are some things that he cannot decide after all.
Ji Guoyuan let out a sigh and looked towards the depths of the island. He released his domineering aura and rushed towards someone on the island with precision.
He didn't know what was hidden behind this matter, but for the current matter, it would be better to let Long himself solve it.
Ji Guoyuan finally saw clearly that these guys who boarded the ship for inspection were not Long's subordinates at all.
