Chapter 631: Ways to Prove Value! (Two in One)
Faced with the question from the new navy, Belo Beti and Ashilu looked at each other. After a brief hesitation, Belo Beti already had the answer in his heart.
Those who can become the revolutionary army always have faith in their hearts.
Although Belo Beti knew that her next words would put the revolutionary army at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations, at this time, she still did not choose to deceive her conscience.
"If you are caught by our revolutionary army for robbing other people's property, you will generally face 4 to 10 years in prison."
"The degree of sentencing will be differentiated according to the specific incident."
Belo Beti's expression became extremely solemn. He glanced at the islanders detained by the new navy, swept his eyes across several familiar faces, and closed his eyes with some regret.
Handing over the people under their control to other forces for disposal, once this kind of thing is opened, it will be a big blow to the prestige of their revolutionary army.
"Is that so?"
"Is it just as simple as imprisonment? If you do something wrong, you can stay in prison all day and receive support from the people?"
"There are such good things in this world."
"Well, I think we should take these guys back to our Wan Guo and let our new navy deal with them."
"There, they should be able to learn the principle of 'making their own living'."
I thought the new navy would accept the disposal plan of their revolutionary army, but what Bello Beti and Ashilu did not expect was that the new navy not only detained these people, but also planned to take them back to Wan Guo to serve their sentences.
At this point, Bello Beti could not accept it anyway.
No matter what these people did, they were citizens of Baldigo after all. If they were taken away by others on their own land, the revolutionary army, which now controls the power of this country, would not be able to explain to their families.
The foundation of the revolutionary army is the people's hearts. If they lose this, they may not be able to continue to gain a foothold in this country.
"This is impossible!"
Without any hesitation in his mind, Belo Betty interrupted immediately, and his emotions also fluctuated significantly.
Mason saw that Belo Betty's tone was resolute, and for a moment he couldn't grasp the other party's bottom line. The reason why he said such words just now was just to test the other party's bottom line.
If the bottom line can be broken once, then it can be broken countless times.
This is also very helpful for the next negotiations.
If the other party's psychological defense can be broken, their new navy will be able to completely grasp the initiative in the next negotiations.
The other party is the captain of the Eastern Army, and he is also considered to be one person above ten thousand people in the system of the Revolutionary Army. The other party's identity definitely has a lot of say in the negotiations. It is also very necessary for the new navy to suppress this Eastern Army captain.
"I can understand your thoughts, Captain."
"But please also be considerate of us."
"The New Navy has its own rules. If it weren't for the friendship that the Revolutionary Army has built with us, they would have been dead the moment they chose to attack us."
"We, the New Navy, want to do something for ordinary people, but that doesn't mean we are easy to bully."
"No one can ride on the head of our New Navy and bully us."
"These people are naturally no exception."
"Being able to stay alive is the result of our concession."
Mason glanced in the direction of Mihawk and Tsugakuinichi. The two leaders had no expression on their faces, and they understood it in their hearts.
He knew that this matter should be handed over to him in full responsibility.
For Mason, the handling of this matter was also a test for him by Tsugakuinichi and Mihawk.
He was a smart man, and naturally understood the meaning. The work of maintaining the face of the New Navy was now handed over to him.
Although his status as a major was not equal to that of the captain of the Revolutionary Army, Mason was neither humble nor arrogant when talking to Belo Beti, and his temperament made Belo Beti take him seriously.
"They are citizens of Baldigo and have committed a crime on Baldigo's land."
"Of course, they should be handled in accordance with Baldigo's laws and regulations!"
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
"I will send someone to receive these people as soon as possible. Please cooperate with us, follow the local customs, and don't make trouble."
Belo Beti naturally couldn't let the new navy take people away like this, even though she knew that the Revolutionary Army needed the help of the new navy for some things, but she didn't intend to compromise on this matter.
One step back, one step back, Belo Beti actually understood that the meaning behind this matter had exceeded the impact and significance of the event itself.
"Wow"
"But they committed the crime on our new navy ship. You can't say that our ship is also your Baldigo territory, right?"
"It can't be that this ship enters Baldigo's harbor and becomes Baldigo's ship, right?"
Mason is also a smart person. He quickly caught the loophole in the other party's words and said with a smile.
His words also made Belo Betty's breathing stagnate. She opened her lips slightly, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Just as Belo was brainstorming and thinking about what kind of words to use to fight back, a breeze blew by, and a tall figure appeared behind her and Ashilu.
Long was wearing a gray-black linen work suit and a dark green cloak behind him. He gently pressed one hand on Belo's shoulder and praised Mason:
"It's worthy of being a new navy. It's really full of talents."
Long's voice reached everyone's ears. Hearing this familiar voice, Belo Betty and Ashilu turned back with some surprise and looked at the people behind them.
"Boss!"
"Mr. Long!"
The appearance of Long made Belo feel relieved. For some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression when he was on this ship. She thought this sense of oppression came from Mihawk, and this sense of oppression disappeared quietly after Long appeared.
"Feng'er has told me everything that happened here."
"Let's leave these people to the New Navy."
"Maybe it's lucky that they can go to Wan Guo to serve their sentences."
As soon as Long Yi appeared, he immediately put an end to this matter.
The reason why he made such a decision was just to prevent the impact of this matter from expanding further. He didn't want to give the New Navy a chance to make a fuss about this matter.
More importantly, Long didn't mind giving someone a face in such a matter.
"Are you satisfied with this treatment?!"
Long looked in the direction of Jiguo Yuichi. Although he didn't reveal Jiguo Yuichi's identity, Yuichi knew that the other party had recognized him.
Without saying anything, Yuichi just pulled the hood he was wearing and nodded slightly to Mihawk beside him. Mihawk also took over the conversation and said with a faint smile:
"Since you said so, then this face will naturally be sold to you."
"Let's stop here, Major Mason, return the people to them."
"We, the Wan Guo, should not keep idle people if we can."
Mihawk did not continue to speak, but suddenly relaxed the conditions and agreed to Belo's previous request. At the same time, he also took some advantages in name, saying that this matter was "the new navy gave you a face."
The subtext of this is: If the new navy expects you, the revolutionary army, to give them a face next, please don't refuse.
Long certainly understood what Mihawk meant, and at this moment he just shook his head silently and took this dumb loss.
Tear up the face? That is simply impossible.
And this matter is ultimately the fault of the islanders, but the people who bear the consequences are not only these islanders, but also their revolutionary army.
"Mihawk, long time no see!"
"I didn't expect that you would lead the team to negotiate this time."
"Let's go, sit down and rest over there, I'll take you to visit the headquarters of our Revolutionary Army."
Ryu understood from the action of Yuichi Tsugikoku pulling the brim of his hat that Yuichi didn't want to reveal his identity, so he naturally led the topic to Mihawk and greeted him enthusiastically.
But Mihawk is a straightforward person, he doesn't want to waste time on meaningless things.
"There's no need to visit, we're not idle people."
"Let's talk business."
As he said, Mihawk waved to the navy on the deck. After receiving Mihawk's signal, the new navy also took action. Some people sent the materials piled on the deck back to the cabin, and some people escorted the islanders off the ship.
Mihawk also walked towards the wooden ladder.
Seeing Mihawk like this, Long was not angry. He followed him with a smile and said to him in a familiar way:
"Don't be so serious. It's not easy for you to come here. Let me treat you well."
"In today's world, it's not easy to meet good friends."
Long's personality is like Garp in private. He is generous, unrestrained and unconstrained. However, compared with Garp, Long is more serious and less serious.
Garp. Since the Valley of the Gods, he has been more serious and less serious.
However, whether it is Garp or Long, they are still very reliable when they are serious. As the direct descendant of their father and son, Luffy actually has the same personality.
But compared with Dragon and Garp, Luffy is the other extreme.
Most of the time, Luffy is not serious.
The new navy team that went to the island only had less than 10 people, and as for the others, they all stayed on the ship.
In addition to Mihawk and Tsugakushi Yuichi, there were also Mason and other elites who were proficient in negotiation.
The final decision was in the hands of Tsugakushi Yuichi and Mihawk, but many details naturally had to be done by professionals.
Cooperation with the Revolutionary Army is a business.
Tsugakushi Yuichi was very clear about this.
After Long led the new navy back to the base, he also arranged a meeting room without stopping, and then called a group of senior executives to gather together.
Although he said that he would take Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Mihawk to visit the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, it was just talk.
Ryu is also a very efficient person. If he really wastes time on taking people to visit the headquarters, he is not Ryu.
Over the years, he has not even paid much attention to Luffy, so how could he waste time on such meaningless things?
"The purpose of our visit this time is actually very simple, that is, we hope to seek cooperation with your Revolutionary Army."
"It's just that our experience in Baldigo is really not pleasant."
"This is the headquarters of your Revolutionary Army, and it is the base you have been operating for many years."
"Such a thing can happen in such a place. I really can't imagine how to cooperate with you."
At the beginning of the negotiation, Mason, as the spokesperson of the new navy, directly brought up the old matter. Just when several army commanders of the Revolutionary Army were curious and concerned about the identity of the black-robed man sitting next to Mihawk, Mason had already started a fight.
The other army commanders and deputy army commanders had no idea what happened at the port. After hearing this, they looked puzzled and looked at each other.
Bello was embarrassed and hesitated to speak, not knowing how to respond.
"Major Mason, it was beyond our expectations that something like that would happen."
"But we won't escape. Those people did make mistakes. The management of our revolutionary army is indeed not in place. Here, on behalf of all the revolutionary army, I apologize to the new navy first."
Long is worthy of being the leader of the revolutionary army and a man who really does great things.
Hearing this, he actually stood up from his seat in front of everyone and bowed deeply to the new navy across the conference table to express his apologies.
His move also surprised Mason. He didn't expect that as the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, Long could actually lower his posture so much.
After the other party bowed, Mason couldn't continue to delve into this issue.
Long bowed and stood up, a smile on his face, and continued:
"Fortunately, those ignorant islanders did not really cause any substantial harm to the new navy."
"This is also a blessing in disguise. Don't worry, we will definitely punish those criminals!"
"At the same time, I also hope that this incident will not affect the cooperation between our two sides."
Long's words were both defensive and offensive, and it seemed to be a sincere apology, but Mason also tasted the irony in Long's words.
What substantial harm can ordinary people cause to their new navy? If this is not irony, what is it?
However, Mason had no good way to deal with such a humble Long, so he could only shut up in time and did not continue to extend this topic.
"Not easy to deal with!" Mason cursed in his heart.
At this time, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke up:
"Before establishing a formal cooperative relationship, we, the new navy, hope to see with our own eyes the determination and ability of your revolutionary army."
"We don't know whether your revolutionary army is really on the same front as ordinary people, and we don't want our material support to be given to forces that have no growth potential."
"Before the cooperative relationship is established, I hope your revolutionary army can prove its ability and value."
While speaking, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi took out a sea map from his arms and threw it in front of Long.
Long took it up and unfolded it, and found that the center of the sea map thrown by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was actually the Judicial Island, the symbol of the power of the World Government. (End of this chapter)
