Chapter 256 punched open

In the captain's room, William retrieved the decoded and translated letter from the last cadre.

The people in the room had different expressions and different ideas, and Tony was the first to speak: "That's the Golden Lion Shiki, who was once as famous as One Piece Roger, even if he is old, it may not be the enemy of those of us who have never even been to the Great Voyage." ”

"Then Harden's suffering was in vain, and the people on the ship died in vain?" said Edmund dissatisfied.

"Of course I didn't mean that," Tony frowned, "we can endure the humiliation and promise to join the Golden Lion Shiki and find an opportunity to take his inheritance again, just as we did with Barbarossa the Redbeard." ”

Hearing this, Danbiel shook his head, and before Edmund retorted again, he had already expressed his opinion: "The current situation is different from when you faced Barbarossa, Chloe has already said in the letter, the Golden Lion Shiki looks down on the people of the East Sea, and the reason why he still wants to recruit Harden and even William is because he wants to smoothly take over the forces controlled by us, shipyards, four seas trading companies, Flash Gold Bank and so on, he didn't want these places to cause turmoil, before coming, he was also worried about the lack of manpower, so he specially found some old troops to go to the island, in order to be able to better control the East China Sea forces, you take refuge in the past, just what he wants, he immediately has the name and timing to receive everything smoothly, and William may still have a bit of status in front of Shiji, but most of them will be set aside, and our gang, under the Golden Lion Shiji's picking, the rest can only be sent away. ”

When Edmund heard this, he sneered at Tony, "I guess if you really take refuge in the past, you can only be sent away." ”

Edmund is very disgusted with Tony, although he is also a high-level person born in Momiji Village, but he has always been at odds with Tony, the most important thing is that he has recently received some rumors of Tony's organization of cadres from Momiji Village, he thinks that Tony is purely clever, but in fact stupid.

"You!" Tony was humiliated in public, causing his face to change slightly.

William, who had not spoken, raised his hand and pressed it, so that Tony did not continue to argue with Edmund, and everyone else looked at William and remained silent.

"The golden lion Shiji hijacked one of our ships without making a sound, killed so many of us, and finally wanted to take away the cause we worked so hard to create, if we continue to swallow our anger, he will only treat us as muddy, and we can pinch and rub the circle at will," William's eyes swept over the cadres in front of him one by one, "If this continues, our chips will become less and less, and the success of the resistance will be lower and lower, and if they go further in the future, we will have to take a step back, and eventually retreat again and again, until there is no way back, so the actual situation in front of us is- Although the East China Sea is large, we have no way out. ”

Everyone fell silent, even those who had previously opposed the war with the Golden Lion Shiki, such as Tony, bowed their heads and pondered.

William was not angry with Tony, in fact, the various cadres under him, because of his prestige and strength, were already quite harmonious.

As William once said to Koshiro, it is just luck to be able to find a bunch of like-minded people as companions, and to be able to bring together a group of people with different personalities is the means.

The various cadres under him come from different backgrounds, have different personalities, and are not robots, so it is impossible for them to react the same when encountering things.

"So what we're going to discuss now is not whether we should fight or not," William tapped his index finger lightly on the table, making a tuk tuk sound that recaptured everyone's attention, "but how we should fight!"

Sherlock, who had not spoken, picked up Chloe's letter from William's desk again and read it: "Chloe said, there are actually a lot of people in the Golden Lion Shiki, there are original subordinates, plus some old departments that have been recently converged, and in addition to Melvieu, there are many floating islands that are also distributed with manpower, plus all kinds of beasts that may be encountered, we need enough manpower to start a war." ”

"Also, where are we going to fight? on the ground and at sea? or ...... Danbiel answered, and in the middle of speaking, he pointed in the direction above his head, "To the sky?"

"Of course we fight where they are, and if we do it, the situation we have worked so hard for years will be in ruins," said William, "and we have hot air balloons and airships, and we are not afraid to fight in the sky." ”

"In that case, you'll need a lot of hot air balloons and airships. Sherlock pushed his glasses, "The Golden Lion Shiki doesn't know when it will appear, and how much time it will give us to prepare, the factory must work overtime and race against time." ”

"I'm going to publish a battle mobilization in the newspaper, what the Golden Lion Shiji wants to destroy is the entire East China Sea, and the people of the East China Sea have the right to know about it, and they should also contribute to the defense of their homeland. William said.

None of them mentioned that the Golden Lion Shiki gave up destroying the East China Sea under Chloe's persuasion and wanted to rule the East China Sea instead.

Aramis pouted: "Do you need to do public opinion work in the fifth department?"

William nodded: "Yes, at least let the people of the East China Sea know who is fighting for their lives for this sea area." ”

"Wouldn't that have too much of an impact, and would it attract the attention of the World Government or the Navy Headquarters?" Sherlock asked, pressing his temple.

"So we not only have to prepare to fight the Golden Lion Shiji, but also be prepared for the worst with the people of the Navy Headquarters," William finished speaking, seeing that some cadres were worried, he analyzed in detail, " At present, the forces that can really threaten the dominance of the world government and the Navy Headquarters and shake their fundamental forces are all on the great route, so it is impossible for them to mobilize too strong forces to come to the weakest sea area of the East China Sea, but they will not be too weak, we have to fight, and we must fight, we cannot never attract the attention of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, this is called a punch, lest a hundred punches come!"

"The East China Sea is the weakest sea area in the eyes of the world, if you don't fight like this, people like the Golden Lion Shiji will emerge in an endless stream in the future, and, for now, we still don't have the attitude and ability to threaten the dominance of the world government. William said.

Of course, William still has some ideas that he didn't say, that is, in the worst-case scenario, the people of the world government and the naval headquarters are all dizzy, even if they don't want the forces of the Great Route, regardless of the safety of the headquarters and the Holy Land, and send most of the combat forces to the East China Sea to capture and encircle the forces of William, if William can't defeat it, he can only start a guerrilla war in the East China Sea, and the opposition forces of the world government that have been dragged to the Great Shipping Route have skyrocketed because of the war situation in the East China Sea, and the situation has changed, and the people of the World Government and the Navy can't help but withdraw.

This is also the reason why William specially ordered to publish statements in the newspapers, and to fight guerrilla warfare, there must be a mass base. [.]
