Chapter 383: Cannons Fight Mosquitoes
Chapter 383: The cannon fights mosquitoes
When the Warring States Marshal, who was far away in the naval headquarters, was still thinking about William's thoughts, William was accompanying people to leisurely fishing on the beach.
Packy is famous for its food, and unlike other cities that also sit on the tracks of the sea train, such as the City of the Seven Waters, St. Prut, and St. Poplar, which are industrial cities, Pucci is a typical tourist city with a more pressing need for security.
Pucci's mayor, Bimini, was bloated, fat-headed, big-eared, and looked stupid, but he had a good conversation with William and others, and even warmly invited William and the others to go fishing on the beach alone.
You must know that in addition to Selkirk, whether it is the mastermind William, or the undercover Ah Jin, or the thinker Danpier, they are all high-bounty criminals who have emerged in this East China Sea War, even if William has now become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, and the government has issued statements one after another, the fixed impression derived from the previous news and propaganda is not so easy to dispel, not to mention the government's statement, a discerning person can also see the loophole.
William and Danpier looked at Bimini's entourage and butler, and were shocked when Bimini sent out the invitation, and they knew the attitude of ordinary people towards their group.
In fact, Bimini is just aware of the situation, His Majesty Qiwuhai is a legal armed force certified by the world government, and before William was abolished, the two sharp blades hanging above the heads of ordinary pirates are also the protectors of the island and the country under the protection of the government, the navy and the government, which are no longer effective against William.
Without the deterrence of the navy and the government, how could Bimini, as the mayor of Pucci, compete with William? After all, the so-called Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty are all super criminals who are favored by the government because of their fame and strength, and thus are recruited, and each side basically has the force to destroy a country.
Although the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty have given the World Government and the Navy a bargaining chip in the face of the Four Emperors, it has become a dangerous and difficult time bomb to deal with among the private and member countries of the World Government.
Since he could not deal with it in private or public, Bimini could only open the door to William and put on a happy cooperation.
He didn't even bring an escort, only a few retinues carrying fishing rods, chairs and other utensils, and went to the beach with William and the others.
"I just want to know how you're going to deal with the sea of pirates," Bimini asked, watching William throw the hook far into the sea, "With all due respect, your plan for a sea train network is a surprise, especially for a city like Pucci, but it's impossible to achieve the desired effect you planned without solving the law and order problem." ”
Although the sea train network plan, and even the joint-stock company plan, were not widely disseminated by the world government and navy like the fact that William became the king of the Seven Martial Seas, it was not difficult for well-informed parties to inquire about, because once implemented, it was difficult to conceal, and the government never wanted to hide it.
Mayor Bimini knew in advance that William was coming, and learned about the relevant plans, which did not surprise William and the others.
Ah Jin sat back on the chaise longue with his hands in his pockets, and the fishing rod was thrown at his feet, in contrast to William and Danbier, who were interested in fishing.
Ah Jin was a fisherman, and fishing was a means of making a living for him, and he would rather carry a fishing net and hold a speargun to fight with the sea kings in the offshore waters, rather than experience the joy of leisurely fishing, which he felt was a waste of energy.
Therefore, Ah Jin, who was not paying attention to fishing, was the first to reply when he heard the words of Mayor Bimini: "Why, since you already know the news of the sea train network, haven't you heard about the joint-stock company?
Bimini glanced at Ah Jin, who had a fierce face, and then at William, who seemed to be paying attention to the fishing rod, hesitated for a moment, but still said: "With a big man like the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty sitting in the first half of the great voyage, those sea thieves don't need to worry, but those small gangs with a large number of but inconspicuous, I am worried that with the arrogance of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas, they may not be able to pursue them with all their might." ”
William chuckled, his gaze withdrawn from the sea where the hook was, and looked at Bimini, who knew exactly what he meant.
The great pirate gangs are big and small, strong and weak, and those ruthless characters who come to the fore, such as supernovas, are very harmful, but the threat of those unknown pirates to civilians and towns cannot be ignored.
The five old stars pay more attention to the former, pay attention to supernovae, or other potential newcomers who are qualified to reach the new world, because they sit in Mary Joy, the first thing they can see and hear is often supernova and other major events, they can't see, or see but tend to ignore the small but common problems at the bottom and among the people.
In the words of William's previous life, they had been separated from the masses for too long.
But William, who was born at the bottom, and Bimini, who was the mayor of Pucci, understood that the economic losses and casualties caused by a hundred small pirates with a bounty of one million to the coastal areas were not necessarily lower than that of a pirate with a bounty of one hundred million.
The cooperation between the Seven Martial Seas and the Navy in the first half of the Great Voyage was indeed enough to kill the potential newcomers valued by the Five Old Stars, but it was impossible to eliminate all the big and small pirates in this sea area.
After all, one of the major sources of pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage was the four seas.
In addition, the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty are all notorious sea thieves, many of whom became famous long before William, and when William did not go to sea, he was already famous, and it was not realistic to let such a character fight a law and order war that required a lot of time and energy.
Take William as an example, if he were asked to hunt down those nameless pirates all day long, he would not be willing, once or twice he could taste the fun of cat and mouse, after more times, it was inevitable that he would be passive and slack, or even strike directly.
William will only hand over this kind of trivial affairs to his subordinates, but in the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, not everyone has a well-organized armed group with a clear division of labor like William, including many small gangs, even lone rangers, cannons and mosquitoes, even if they nod their heads and agree for a while, they will inevitably be passive and slack off in the future.
This question, the five old stars may not have seen it, or they have seen it, but they don't care, but as the mayor of Pucci, and William boasted that he wanted to protect the four cities on the sea train line in exchange for the right to operate the train, then Bimini could not help but ask, which would determine the future of Pucci's city, and it would also determine his own future.
