Chapter 280: The First Shot
William, along with Chloe and Zango, studied how to torture Dr. Indigo, and left the cell. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was informed by the chamberlain that Colonel Mouse was looking for him.
When William arrived at the study where Colonel Mouse was waiting, he found the rat spinning around like a fly in the room, and when he saw him, he came to him as quickly as if he had found a life-saving straw.
The mouse's face was a little pale, and he said in an urgent and panicked tone: "William, you have to save me this time, the headquarters is coming." ”
When William broke the news to Laura Louise, he did not hide that Rats and other East China Sea naval officers were bribed and co-opted by him, so when the "World Economic News" exposed these ulterior things, Colonel Rats fell into great panic.
In the East China Sea, William's power is naturally incomparable, but compared to the Navy Headquarters and even the World Government, it is still not worth mentioning.
Of course, Colonel Rat didn't know that these "fierce news" were said by William on his own initiative, otherwise he would have hated this rotten person who killed William's teammates, and until now, Rat still thought that the news in the "World Economic News" was investigated by the reporter himself, so he complained in front of William about Tony, who was in charge of the Security Bureau at the time, and thought that if it wasn't for Tony's intelligence and defense work not good enough, he would not have fallen into the current situation.
During this time, the rat can be called panicked, he didn't think about running away, but he has been the emperor of the naval division for a long time, and he has been corrupted by William for so long, he has been reluctant to give up his power and status, during this time there has been no news from the headquarters, neither said how to deal with William, nor said that he will be held responsible, so that the rat has a fluke mentality, and the top management of the headquarters will not listen to the "slander" of a newspaper.
But the rat told William that news had just come from the headquarters that the top of the navy of the Great Voyage had finally responded to the recent major incident in the East China Sea, and that he was about to send a fleet led by two vice admirals to the East China Sea to investigate the events of the "Golden Lion" Shiki incident.
The rat suddenly felt that the end of the world had come, and he thought that the two lieutenant generals were probably still responsible for investigating his corruption.
The mouse has been in contact with William for a long time, and he is very convinced of William's mind and schemes, and he has fallen into his current situation because of his close relationship with William, so he wants William to give him ideas and think of some solutions.
But William was focused on another piece of information.
"Two lieutenant generals?" William frowned slightly and confirmed, "only two lieutenant generals?"
Seeing the mouse nodding, William asked, "Is there a Karp in there?"
"It's Lieutenant General Stoloberg and Lieutenant General Dalmeia. The mouse shook his head again and again, although Karp was only a vice admiral in name, his reputation and influence were no less than that of a general or even a marshal, and the same as the admiral who was known as the highest combat power of the navy, which could be called the signature of the navy.
The rat was afraid of William's carelessness who had just solved the Golden Lion Shiki, and hurriedly said: "Stoloberg and Dalmesia, although they are both new lieutenant generals, they are not easy people to deal with, Storobery once hunted and killed the fishman criminal Fisher Tiger, which led to his death, and Dalmesia is also an animal fruit ability." ”
William didn't speak, he wasn't careless, he was confused.
It has been a long time since the "Golden Lion" Shiki appeared in front of William, to the news of his arrival in the Tokai newspapers, and then to William's killing of Shiki, but the response of the Navy Headquarters can be called slow.
If at the beginning, the people in the Navy Headquarters were slow to react because they couldn't take the Golden Lion Shiki's Devil Fruit ability, and they were helpless in the face of Shiji, who could control an entire island and move freely in the sky, then now in the face of a newcomer in the East China Sea like William, it is a little strange that the reaction is so slow, and the final response is also confusing.
William temporarily reassured Colonel Mouse, promising to give him a large sum of money to run away, but before that, he needed to continue to pass on the news to himself in the branch.
When the rat left, William had Chloe, Sherlock, and Danpier called, and when the three arrived, William informed them of what the rat had just said, and told them about his confusion.
William can be sure that his group of people in the eyes of the navy is an obvious unstable factor, and it will not change because he saved the East China Sea in the hands of the golden lion Shiji, not to mention that the process of his fortune is basically on the edge of crime, just to say that in the East China Sea, such a pirate bounty is generally only tens of millions, and the naval forces are correspondingly weak in the peaceful sea area, suddenly there is an armed force with an unclear position that can defeat the golden lion Shiki, and William is the top of the navy, and the eyes of such a force will also be full of vigilance.
How big must the hearts of the people in the Navy Headquarters have to be to turn a blind eye and throw the East China Sea, which is known as a model of peace, to William? And when faced with the armed forces that can defeat the Golden Lion Shiki, they actually send only two vice admirals over?
"Perhaps, as you said, the world situation is complicated now, and the Navy Headquarters is overstretched, so only two vice admirals can be sent over?" Sherlock analyzed.
William once firmly believed that there should be a war with the navy, and there will be a war in the future, and in order to enhance the confidence of the high-level, he also analyzed the world form for them, telling them that now is a good time for a big fight.
Sherlock was more convinced by William's words, and in connection with William's previous analysis of the world situation, he did not find the Navy's response incomprehensible, and he even felt that the Navy Headquarters was slow to respond during this time, and it was likely that there was a difference in the attitude towards William internally, and it was difficult for anyone to convince anyone for a while between the two attitudes of extermination and recruitment, and now it is likely that the attitude of appeasement has occupied the mainstream, after all, there is an example of "The Seven Martial Seas of the King" as a reference.
"If the Navy Headquarters wants to investigate our crimes and come to arrest us, it is impossible to come to the East China Sea with great fanfare, especially to notify the rats in advance," Sherlock analyzed one by one, "As long as they have read the World Economic News, they should know that we have many eyes and ears in the East China Sea, and the rats have a close relationship with us, so they can be the first to know the news of their arrival and take precautions in advance." ”
"Or maybe it's to paralyze us," Chloe, who hadn't spoken, pushed his glasses, "or just to calm us down for the time being, and wait until the Navy has its hands free before picking us up." ”
Sherlock frowned and said, "We have even defeated the golden lion, and the navy is our enemy, so it is impossible to be without concerns." ”
"The Golden Lion Shiki can pull the whole island into the sky and run around with it, can we?" Chloe shook his head, he had been on Melvieu Island for a while, and he knew very well the Golden Lion Shiki's mobility ability, that was the most terrifying thing about Shiki, after glancing at William, he continued, "William said a sentence, 'I am the master', I think he is right, no matter what kind of reaction the navy makes, we should be prepared for a big war, so as not to be caught off guard." ”
Sherlock explained: "I'm just worried that the navy originally had a strategy of appeasement, but we have been preparing for a big war with them, which is prone to misunderstandings, causing conflicts, and having wars that don't have to happen." ”
"Don't worry," William smiled, "we won't fire the first shot first." ”
