Chapter 6 Worthy of Being Vice Admiral Garp's Offspring
Looking at the densely packed numbers on the shopping list, Zhan Guo couldn't believe his eyes.
"How could this be possible... I must have been too tired recently and didn't get enough rest..."
"Yes, that must be the case."
He took off his glasses in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and put them back on, but the numbers on the list clearly didn't change!
Especially the long string of "0"s after each number, which made him gasp.
A high-voltage stun gun, priced at 500,000 Baileys.
A portable rocket launcher, priced at 1 million Baileys.
A flamethrower, 800,000 Baileys.
A medium-sized ballistic missile that can be loaded on a warship, the kind that sank the last pirate ship of Bondi Waldo... 8 million Baileys!
This is just the price of one missile!!
As for the cost of the warship transformation... Zhan Guo was even more stunned and couldn't help but jump up and curse.
Darren, this prodigal... used 100 million Baileys to rebuild the keel of a medium-sized warship! ?
100 million Baileys can build two warships of the same size!! (The value of Baileys is relatively high during this period)
Zhan Guo calculated a little in his mind and came to a conclusion that made his mouth twitch:
The troops sent by the North Sea Fleet in the operation to defeat the Ward Pirates, ten warships and about 2,000 elite North Sea Navy soldiers, the cost of building this fleet is at least more than 2 billion Baileys!!
This does not include the goods and munitions destroyed in the battle.
But Bondi Waldo... his bounty is only 400 million Baileys...
Zhan Guo covered his face with his hands in pain.
To be frank, the great victory of that operation was smashed by Darren with Baileys!
"Where did Darren, that stinky boy... get so much money!?"
Zhan Guo suddenly gritted his teeth.
He would never admit that jealousy made his expression hideous.
As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the candidate for the next Admiral, Zhan Guo knows more about the military expenditure of the Navy Headquarters than anyone else.
After all, Admiral Kong Ganggu is old and not very sensitive to numbers, so the military expenditure of the headquarters is basically handled by Zhan Guo.
What is the concept of 2 billion Baileys?
That is equivalent to the military expenditure of the Navy Headquarters for a quarter! !
You know, the 2 billion of the Navy Headquarters includes the daily repairs of bases, fortresses, guns and warships, the payment of personnel salaries, etc.
If these "daily" expense items are deducted, the military expenditure that can be left free and freely allocated in a quarter by the headquarters is less than 300 million Baileys!
And most importantly, the equipment of the fleet is so expensive.
But from Darren's tone, he seems to have the intention of continuing to expand the army in the North Sea and increasing the size of the North Sea Fleet in the next plan.
"Crazy... really crazy..."
Zhan Guo muttered.
…
“So is it true?”
The moment the door of the base commander’s office closed, the warm smile on Dorag’s face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a deep seriousness.
His eyes were fixed on the young commodore in front of him.
“Doflamingo, the biggest boss in the North Sea underground world and the leader of the Don Quixote Pirates… is your man.”
Darren raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled:
“To be precise, Doflamingo is my godson.”
“Godson?” Dorag frowned, a little confused.
Darren lit a cigar on his own and sat directly on the desk without any gesture.
"This is a tradition in the North Sea. We have a saying in the North Sea..."
"'This world is too dangerous. Children must have two fathers'... Dov is a very pitiful child. He lost his blood parents at a young age and was neglected."
"After coming to the North Sea, he did make a lot of mistakes, but I have punished him, and he has completely realized his mistakes and decided to turn over a new leaf."
"As a navy, we can't just watch a talented child go astray, right, Major General Dorag?"
Dora frowned even tighter.
"So you mean that Doflamingo recognizes you as his... "godfather"? "
Darren spread his hands and smiled:
"That's right."
"Do you know his true identity? He is not just a 'gifted child'."
Darren smiled but said nothing.
Darren narrowed his eyes and looked at the commodore in front of him with a calm face.
Darren was not in a hurry, but just smiled and smoked a cigar.
He didn't intend to hide too much about Doflamingo, after all, it was impossible to hide it from everyone.
Especially after the action of conquering Bondi Waldo, anyone with a little bit of brains could follow the clues of that "transaction" and find out the relationship between himself, Doflamingo and the Don Quixote family.
Apart from anything else, Darren firmly believed that the old fox Sengoku could definitely guess something.
This is very interesting.
Sengoku left the North Sea two days ago. Logically, he could have questioned him directly in person.
But he didn't.
Instead, the person sent by the headquarters to "communicate" with him was Drago, the major general of the headquarters.
This sent out a goodwill signal to some extent.
Drago's rank is not yet a core senior officer of the navy, which means that this is not a serious conversation.
As the biological son of the naval hero Vice Admiral Garp, he has an influence that others do not have.
This represents the headquarters' respect for him.
In general, it is a good thing that the person talking to him is Dragon.
If the headquarters wants to settle accounts later, I am afraid that the person who comes will not be Dragon, but the Crane Staff Officer in charge of the inspection.
The base director's office became quiet.
You can hear a pin drop.
Until one moment-
"Hahahahaha!"
Dragon suddenly laughed, hugged Darren's neck enthusiastically, and patted his shoulders hard.
"You are really good, Darren!"
"As the father of the Celestial Dragons, only you can think of it!"
"Hahahaha!! So refreshing!! Well done!!"
Darren looked at the excited Dragon in front of him with a confused face, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
If it's not you who are excited, what are you excited about?
"I have long disliked those guys!"
Dragon waved his fist, his face full of second-year students.
Then he seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and waved his hand.
"Oh no, I didn't say anything just now. I'll take it back."
Wait!
Darren looked at Dorag in front of him and suddenly felt that this guy who just exuded charm and leadership temperament had a silly aura.
That feeling... is very much like a person.
Darren sighed helplessly.
"Major General Dorag..."
"Hmm?"
"You really deserve to be Vice Admiral Garp's biological son."
"Oh."
