Chapter 361 Train Network

"So, the lives of Karp and the other captured navies aren't a bargaining chip for Morgan William to take the position of the Seven Martial Seas?" the blonde old man changed his posture on the sofa and asked with interest, "So what are the benefits you can give to the government?"

The other five old stars also looked at Danbir with inquiring eyes, and they really couldn't think of anything that William could call a bargaining chip other than the lives of Karp and the others, enough to exchange for the position of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas.

The world government has world-class technology, has professional laboratories and many scientific research talents, advanced and complete technology, although William's new steamship is amazing, but it is not irreplaceable for the world government, they have their own Hailoushi technology, in addition, there are many advanced technologies, but the government did not choose to expose.

Strength: The Navy Headquarters under the World Government alone is enough to become the three major forces of the great shipping route in the mouth of the people, and the marshals and the three major generals have been synonymous with the top powerhouses for generations.

Although William has won many small victories in the East China Sea, judging from the fact that he was unexpectedly beaten and imprisoned in prison by Karp, his strength has not yet reached the top level.

Dampier slowly raised his hand and pointed to the east side, and the Five Old Stars followed his finger to see that there was only a wall.

It did not occur to them that Dampier was referring to the first half of the entire Great Shipping Route in that direction: "Under the World Government, the prosperity and stability of the first half of the entire Great Shipping Route!"

"Don't be ashamed!" the others didn't speak, and the old man in the kimono couldn't help but sneer.

If the pirates such as the Four Emperors are fierce beasts, lions, and tigers, although they are fierce and vicious, they have huge goals, and the conditions for defeating them are also very clear, as long as the world government and navy are strong and strong, and their strength is stronger than each other, they can always solve them.

In contrast, the many pirates who flocked from the four seas to the first half of the Great Voyage were like termites and rats, constantly destroying the rear of the world government and navy, and the government wanted to defeat the Four Emperors, and these termites and rats kept eating their food and grass and destroying their barracks.

The terrible thing about them lies in the number, they can't kill endlessly, like weeds, there is still a stubble after cutting, and there are often people who show their heads under this kind of pursuit and oppression, showing their talent potential, but eventually entering the new world, often entering the banner of the Four Emperors, transfusing blood for the enemy.

In order to change this situation, the government has tried many methods, and even set up the system of the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty, risking criticism and attracting powerful pirates to help kill these annoying rats.

The number of people who have always maintained the Seven Martial Seas corresponds to the seven routes in the first half of the Great Route, and according to the regulations, the targets of their lawful raids are also the undeveloped areas of the government, that is, non-allied countries, and pirates.

Therefore, the other pirates hate the Seven Martial Seas under the king, and the world government is to follow the pirates' example of plundering merchant ships and civilians, using merchant ships and civilians as prey, and embezzling flesh and blood resources to support themselves, so that these seven sea pirates take other pirates as prey, devouring the flesh and blood resources of these criminals for their own survival and growth, so that the Seven Martial Seas will be interested in other pirates, and the hatred of the pirates for the Seven Martial Seas is actually like the hatred of civilians for pirates.

Seven people, one less will have omissions, one more, it will be like a beast on the grassland, because of the competition for territory prey and cause internal contradictions, according to the theory, the emergence of the Seven Martial Seas system should indeed effectively suppress the swarming pirates of the great route, but although the ideal is plump, the reality is very skinny, the Seven Martial Seas are not so obedient, not only do they not honestly sit on their own routes, but even hunting other pirates does not seem to be so active.

And in this environment of banditry, the overall prosperity of the first half of the Great Voyage naturally stopped.

"I don't know if the 'Lionheart' and the 'Pirate Scholar' have any good solutions to the situation in the first half of the Great Voyage?" the blonde old man didn't directly deny it like the old man in the kimono, although he didn't think so, he still asked.

Danbiel glanced at the five old men in turn, and said slowly:

"Train network, joint-stock company. ”

……

Chambord Islands.

Arkin was sent out by William to inquire about the movements of the navy to determine if he would leave immediately, and while he stayed behind, William sat on the edge of the dock and chatted with Baucia.

More precisely, it was William who learned about the sea train from Baucia and the changes in the city after the passage of the sea train.

"Pucci is one of the few cities where there are sea trains, so why do you have to venture to the Chambord Islands?" asked Bothea, leaning on his mattress with his head propped up in his arms and biting an apple.

There were no chairs in the tent, so Baucia could only carefully press her skirt, spread a handkerchief, and then sat on the ground: "The convenience of the sea train makes it less profitable to do shipping on the surrounding islands than before, so I want to go further afield to take a look, although the road from Pucci to the Chambord Islands is far and difficult, but it is also more profitable." ”

In the same tent, Perona, who was watched under William's nose, was also biting an apple like William, although her face was still a little pale, but she saw that her complexion had recovered well, and when she heard Baucia's words, she asked curiously: "Then why didn't you smash that sea train?"

William couldn't help grinning when he heard this, Perona was a pirate after all, his mind was full of discordant thoughts, and when he heard that something violated his interests, his first reaction was to destroy it.

Hearing this, Baucia looked at Perona strangely: "Although the sea train has had some impact on my family's business, its appearance has epoch-making significance, and its role in the development of the surrounding islands is obvious, why do we think about smashing the sea train?"

Although Baucia had to try to make a living on the Chambord Islands line because of the sea train, even so, once she talked about the sea train, she was still full of admiration.

"Epoch-making, so powerful?" Perona was skeptical.

"The sea train does not rely on the wind, and the track floats slightly below the sea surface, so it is not afraid of the waves, so it is not afraid of bad weather, and the most thing in the great route is bad weather, and it uses the track as a signpost, and there is no need to record the pointer at all, and the sound of the track and the wheel colliding can also expel the sea kings, do you say it is powerful?" William explained slowly.

Only when you really come to this world and experience the inconvenience and limitations of sea passage can you understand the greatness of the sea train and its inventor Tom.

"Not only that," Baucia said after glancing at Perona, thinking of something, "After the passage of the sea train, the number of ships coming and going on the surrounding islands has decreased, and the pirates have lost a major raiding target, and the number of pirates has been effectively suppressed. ”

"Isn't that right?" Perona involuntarily brought in the pirates, and when she heard Baucia's words, she couldn't help but question, "I think the sea train that runs on the track is easier to grab than the merchant ship!"

"But the sea trains and tracks are also better guarded than the endless sea. Baucia retorted.

"So...... William sat up suddenly, and asked with great interest, "If the sea train can be laid to connect more islands, effectively reduce the cost of transportation, stimulate the economy, the flow of commodities and manpower, and make the local resource advantages of each island better transformed into economic advantages, what do you think of this plan?"

Baucia glanced at William for some reason, wondering how a notorious criminal could be so interested in the sea train, but she still said bluntly: " I'm afraid it's not realistic, although the sea train is more guarded, as long as there are people in the car, but the track is easy to be destroyed, the lines of Peach and other islands are because one of the tracks connects the Judicial Island, and the Judicial Island is adjacent to the Navy Headquarters, and the Navy Headquarters has enough deterrence, so no one dares to destroy the train tracks in a frenzy, if there are too many lines, the Navy may not have so many people to take care of the trains and tracks. ”

"What if you add the Seven Martial Seas?" asked William, still interested.

Baucia didn't speak, but just glanced at Perona very obviously, and the meaning was self-evident - the example is right in front of you, what are the Seven Martial Seas like, don't you count them in your heart?

How could they honestly protect the territory and the people and kill the pirates?

Perona didn't know why, she didn't understand, but William naturally understood what Bothea meant, and the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a sneer: "Then what if...... , is this all the property of the Seven Martial Seas?" 1910
