Chapter 293: Lack of Manpower

As Karp said, if this incident had not been instructed by William, the situation would have been even worse, which shows that the order in the East China Sea has collapsed, the situation has been eroded, the weakness of the local navy has been seen, and there are cunning criminals who deliberately take advantage of the navy's own time to do evil, Karp and others must consider whether more people with ill intentions will follow suit, thus causing greater riots.

Moreover, the attack on the naval base can be said to be an internal matter of the navy, but when the capital of the member countries of the world government is attacked, even the royal palace is burned, and the king is killed, the nature changes.

This is no longer purely a matter for the Navy.

It is true that in the countless great routes of pirates, it is not uncommon for pirates to go to the big cities to do evil, and even to the capitals of the member countries to do evil, but this is the East China Sea, and in people's perception, this is different from the great routes that have always been chaotic.

Just like in William's previous life, wars in Africa or the Middle East seem to be something that people are accustomed to and will not make much fuss, but if the same thing happens in countries with good law and order and social stability, it will have a very wide and extremely bad impact.

It has been a long time since such a serious crime has occurred in the East China Sea, and Karp and the others can imagine how panicked and angry the World Government of the East China Sea will be, and they will definitely stab the matter to the World Government, and soon, the World Government will ask the Admiral about it.

After all, on the surface, from William's arrest and imprisonment, to the collective riot of the East China Sea Pirates, and then to the rebellion that caused the navy to be overwhelmed and unable to stop the criminal gangs from burning down the palace, it was the actions of the Navy Headquarters that led to the series of events that followed.

However, this also made Karp and others suspect that this incident may be related to the Morgan Group, because it happened too coincidentally, and the naval base around the capital of the Kingdom of Falais happened to be attacked before the incident, and they were unable to monitor the sea area, which gave the remnants of the Bucky Pirates and the Evil Dragon Pirates an opportunity to swagger into the capital of the kingdom and break through the city.

"I've already called Sengoku before and told me what happened here," Karp smiled and said to Dauberman, "Sengoku is angry, he wants us to stabilize order in the East China Sea as soon as possible, not to cause panic among the locals, and ...... He rejected my request to send another group of men from the headquarters, but agreed to my offer to increase the reward for the cadres of the Morgan Group. ”

The other three lieutenant generals disagreed, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of rioting pirates, even if the bounty is increased, these pirates will not tie up the cadres of the Morgan Group abnormally, and then swagger to the navy to receive the bounty, at most attract some bounty hunters, or the people who pay attention to the bounty to provide them with some clues.

The most important issue is actually the problem of manpower.

The four lieutenant generals in the conference room, everyone knew that the pirate group that was bothering them now was not worth mentioning in terms of strength, and any of the few people present could stab them to death with a single finger if they encountered these pirates head-on.

It was a real finger to be stabbed to death, because all four lieutenant generals would use a finger gun.

But the problem now is that they can't meet them, high strength does not mean that they can separate tens of millions, how vast the East China Sea is, rioting pirates are scattered all over the place, not to mention that it is impossible for the four lieutenant generals to leave the city, even if they all leave, let William care, they can't govern the entire East China Sea, if the four lieutenant generals can easily suppress all crimes in a sea area, the navy also spends a huge amount of military spending every year, what to do with so many idlers.

They can only distribute the officers and soldiers brought from the headquarters to various places, mainly colonel-level or lieutenant-level officers, reorganize the local navy, and then strangle these rat-like pirates.

"Gather all the officers and soldiers scattered throughout the city," Karp waved his hand, his face showing boredom, "let the nobles of this kingdom worry about the safety of the city themselves, and we can concentrate our men on the prison where William Morgan is located." ”

This city, and even this country, is full of wrong, a criminal born of pirates, blinds the masses, imprisons nobles, and becomes the ruler of the country, but in the eyes of civilians and even all walks of life, he still has full prestige, even if he is now arrested and imprisoned, although most of those civilians dare not disobey the majesty of the naval headquarters, they still complain, and there are some commotions from time to time, and the legitimate ruler of this country, on the contrary, has no prestige in this city, and even controls the city, he has to ask for help from the navy.

After returning home, Smoker reported the matter of the jailer wrapping William's leg cuffs around cotton cloth, and Lieutenant General Stoloberg and other lieutenant generals did not trust the locals very much since then, and were worried about what the locals would do during William's imprisonment, so they agreed to the request of King Norton I and the local nobles.

During this period, the city's ports, gates and other key facilities were basically garrisoned by people from the Navy Headquarters, and they could know about any abnormal Karp and suppress it as soon as possible.

Originally, the idea of the four lieutenant generals was to maintain this state of affairs until William was executed, and then transfer the officers and soldiers brought by the headquarters to the local naval base one by one for a smooth transition, but now that things are so big, the plan of steady progress can only be abolished, and it is impossible for them to disperse the officers and soldiers throughout the East China Sea while still helping the local rulers to keep a tight grip on the city.

"I really don't know what the nobles of this country used to do, so it didn't need to be like this," Lieutenant General Dalmesia mentioned the nobles of the Navia Kingdom, and he hated iron and steel, and knocked the table hard, and even knocked off a piece of the solid wood tabletop, and said angrily, "They still hold banquets every day, don't they know, they can't even control their own country?"

Karp smiled, and the other lieutenant generals didn't say anything, they were just soldiers, and their duty was to exterminate pirates, and they couldn't do anything about such a thing.

……

In fact, Lieutenant General Dalmesia's evaluation of the nobles of the Kingdom of Navia is not necessarily true.

Even if these nobles didn't know before, they had three years of "bloody suppression" by William, and they understood that they should pay attention to the affairs of the kingdom, especially the military power.

It is true that banquets are held in the aristocratic area in turn, but unlike in the past, it is not only those old nobles who appear at the banquet now, but also many generals who do not have noble titles and wear military uniforms.

Originally, the aristocratic strength of the army was eliminated by William as carrion, and these officers who appeared at the banquet were all middle and high-level generals who appeared during William's reign, but they failed to enter the Guards and were not absolutely trusted by William.

But now, after almost all the backbone of the Guards were transferred by William, and those who remained were thrown into prison by the navy, the generals of these second- and third-tier armies and the armed forces they led became very important in the city.
