Chapter 188: The Sorrow of the Veteran

Obviously, the World Government and the Navy did this to weaken Moriah's strength.

Moreover, among the Seven Warlords of the Sea this time, I can be said to have contributed the most, so it is impossible for me to slack off.

Those Seven Warlords of the Sea, one by one in the Seven Water Capital, at least they all fought alone, as long as they were not too much, they could just slack off.

But what about me! The entire pirate group was dispatched, and I couldn't even slack off. After all, this was my base camp, and I couldn't send my base camp out!

It was precisely because of this that the Navy and the World Government deployed their troops in this way.

It can be said that this was to pit Moriah to death.

The only comfort is that Moriah is located in the second line of defense. Compared with the pressure of the first line of defense and the importance of the last line of defense, Moriah's line of defense is not so important. In other words, how well he fights and how many pirates he kills depends on Moriah himself.

However, it is impossible to let all the pirates go, otherwise, it will be difficult to report to the World Government.

Moreover, these are all pirates from the New World, and there are many arrogant people. What if one of them doesn't like Moria and doesn't go to the Seven Water City, but directly sets his sights on Moria's terrifying three-masted ship, or sets his eyes on the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? This is not impossible.

Therefore, Moria is under great pressure, especially his own line of defense. In terms of advanced combat power, it can be said that it is the weakest of the three lines of defense. It is absolutely false to say that he is not nervous.

Therefore, since receiving this task assignment, Moria's Den Den Mushi has never stopped.

I have made such a great effort this time, and the World Government must compensate and support me.

Otherwise, I will lose too much!

In short, Moria said everything he could think of, such as weapons, rare materials, advanced swordsmanship or secrets of domineering, or science and technology, scientific research drugs, etc.

Of course, there is also the matter of establishing the Shadow Kingdom.

For Moria's lion's mouth, oh, no, this is already bold.

Even Sengoku would not make so many demands to the World Government. After all, everything Moriah mentioned is extremely scarce, and there is not enough to share within the government, so how can there be more for you.

Sengoku in Marinford heard Moriah's request and exclaimed in his heart.

"Awesome!"

"If you, Moriah, can really extort so many good things from the World Government."

"Then no matter what the conditions are, I will also pull you into the Navy, and I, Sengoku, will support you, Moriah, to be the next Marshal."

"What Aokiji, Akainu, compared to you, they are far inferior!"

To be honest, since Moriah became a Shichibukai, the relationship with the Navy is still very good. In the Navy, Moriah can be said to be the only pirate who is liked by the Navy.

Not to mention, the pirates Moriah sent every month far exceeded the obligations of the Shichibukai. Every time, a full ship of pirates was sent to the Navy.

Although the bounties of these pirates are generally not high, they are too many!

Over time, the number of pirates Moria has captured has become a terrifying number. Converted into military merit, it is more than enough for Moria to be appointed as a vice admiral.

Of course, Moria and these pirates are not given to the navy for nothing.

Moria wants to collect money. According to the bounty of these pirates, the navy must give Moria the corresponding Bailey.

However, it is impossible for Zhan Guo to pay in full. The navy can use various materials or various secrets to offset it, and Moria can hire veterans of the navy to organize training for his men, etc.

Of course, the prices of these materials, secrets, and the navy training group hired by Moria are very high.

Even so, even if Moria knows that Zhan Guo deliberately raised the price, he still enjoys it.

Because the navy is the real overlord on this sea.

Even if the pirates are so rampant in this era, no one can shake the overlord status of the navy.

Whether in terms of strength, weapons, technology or other aspects, the navy is far superior to the pirates. Even if there are more and more pirates, the gap still exists and cannot be made up in a short time.

Therefore, to enhance strength and improve oneself, if you want to learn, you must learn from the most powerful one.

Moreover, Moria also took the initiative to recruit retired navy veterans and gave them the best treatment. Those with children and grandchildren solved their work and education problems. Those who were alone were sent special people to take care of them and enjoy the best treatment in the sanatorium. All kinds of recuperation methods were free for them.

It can be said that Moria offered the best conditions.

Although the navy and the world government have special arrangements for retired navy officers to let them spend their old age in peace, and there are also many welfare systems, but those are only for senior navy officers at the level of generals. For the lieutenant level, the treatment is much worse, and as for the soldiers, it is almost zero.

After all, these retired middle and lower-level navy officers are more numerous, and their contributions are not that great. If you want to take care of everyone, it is impossible in terms of finance and energy.

This also led to some veterans who dedicated their lives to the navy having a miserable end in their later years.

There was no way for Zhan Guo to deal with this situation, because there was no financial expenditure for retired navy in the navy's military expenditure. The world government has always been responsible for supporting retired navy.

It was okay for senior generals, but the government did not pay much attention to those middle and lower-level navy, and with the layers of deductions by officials, the situation of veterans was not optimistic.

Zhan Guo was able to squeeze out a part of the tight military expenditure to take care of these veterans, which was already its limit.

Therefore, in the navy, after knowing that Moria was willing to provide for the retired veterans, many middle and lower-level navy liked Moria very much, and many senior generals of the navy also had a good impression of Moria.

After all, most of these senior generals came from the bottom, and naturally understood the difficulties of the middle and lower-level navy.

Moreover, when they first joined the navy, who didn't have an old squad leader to lead them in.

I have been promoted all the way, but most people are ordinary people. There are not so many monsters in the world. After so many years, I don’t know what happened to the old squad leader.

Who hasn’t had a green time? Now looking back, I really miss the time when I was punished by the old squad leader to run!

Therefore, Moria’s move directly won the favor of the navy and the support of all the navy.

But the navy is such a big organization, is there no smart person in it? Can’t you see the purpose of Moria’s doing this?

Of course, I know that the combat experience and theoretical skills of these veterans are what Moria covets.

After all, it is very unusual for ordinary people to be able to fight against pirates in this world of monsters until retirement. Without a few brushes, how can they survive and wait until retirement safely.

These things are not of much use to Moria and other strong men, but for ordinary people, they are very precious secrets.

Ordinary people have ordinary people’s training methods, and monsters have monsters’ training methods.

The only thing suitable for ordinary people is ordinary people’s methods.

Don't think this is useless. The Navy's ability to become a hegemon is inseparable from its large number of ordinary soldiers.

In the words plagiarized by Moria, this is the power of the masses.

Therefore, even if Sengoku and others knew Moria's purpose, they did not stop it. The Navy owed these veterans.

In a sense, this is a shame for the Navy. Their own soldiers actually let a pirate take care of their retirement.
