Chapter 219: Expedition Personnel

In the East Sea, William was woken up in the middle of the night when someone knocked on the door of the attendant's room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The experience of lurking on the Barbarossa ship made William develop a habit of alertness, and even now he can't change it, although he was still sleeping very deeply, but when the knock on the door sounded, William had already sat up from the bed, and put his hand on the head of the bed, where there was a word of harmony.

"Come in!" said a young and strong physique, and William became sober in a moment, and commanded outside.

A young attendant pushed open the door, glanced at William with sharp eyes a little nervously, bowed his head and handed over a document, and said, "My lord, there is urgent news from the capital of seven waters. ”

William knew very well that when he was knocked on the door by his subordinates in the middle of the night, something important must have happened, and his power in the East China Sea had actually developed relatively smoothly, and similar situations had rarely occurred in recent times, so he was so serious.

"What is it?" asked William casually after taking the document with the red envelope on it, representing an emergency.

“…… The judicial ship that went to the capital of seven waters to try crimes was attacked, and the mastermind of the incident, Tom, the fishman, was shot dead for resisting arrest, and his student Carter Fram was hit by the train after the attack on the sea train on which the world government officials were riding, and his whereabouts are unknown, and he may be buried at the bottom of the sea. ”

William listened to the chamberlain's report as he flipped through the documents that detailed the events.

As he learned more about the matter, William's brow gradually furrowed.

After a while, after reading the papers, William said, "Call someone from the staff to my study and call Edmund." ”

The corners of the squire's mouth moved, and he took the order.

After the attendant left, William did not immediately rush to the study, but took a bottle of fine wine from the wine cabinet and went to the balcony.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse outside, inside and outside the manor, except for the sound of some guards walking around, there is no noise, and in the East China Sea, thousands of miles away, how many people know and pay attention to the death of a shipbuilder?

Compared to the sea train, maybe Tom the Fishman builds a ship for One Piece and is more of a conversation before and after dinner.

William poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, then poured another one, spilled it on the ground, and muttered, with some inexplicable meaning, as if sarcasm, or with emotion: "One Piece, you have another companion to accompany you, are you happy now?"

By and large, William's mood now is the same as that of Marcellus, the commander of ancient Rome, when he heard that an ignorant soldier had killed Archimedes.

Fortunately, according to the report, Tom's eldest disciple, Esbagu, is still alive and does not resist contact with him.

William considered this, and waited until the attendant knocked on the door again and told everyone that they had arrived in the study before he went over.

When I arrived at the study, I found that there were already four or five young men in straight military uniforms standing inside, and when Hitler asked designers to design clothes for his army, he had made such an instruction, requiring German soldiers to wear them beautifully and imposingly.

The army is a symbol of force, and his image has a very high role in propaganda, especially under the Songun policy, soldiers are the objects of imitation for young people, William refers to the military uniforms of the German army in World War II in his memory, and after a slight modification, he designed military uniforms for his guards and staff officers.

At this time, several young people in the room were wearing long black trench coats, embellished with copper-colored buttons, skull badges on their chests, and armed belts with gold edges on a white background tied around their waists.

Compared with the staff department, which also belongs to William's think tank team, the attendant room does not have such treatment, because since the establishment of the staff, the attendant room has been under the civil affairs system, although there are uniforms, but only a suit and tie, all this, plus the staff is established by splitting the power of the chamber, of course, the relationship between the two departments is somewhat complicated, and the opposition is not, William is not a person who likes to play cockfighting, but the atmosphere of faintly comparing with each other has come out.

When I got closer, I realized that there was a small phone bug on the desk.

As soon as William arrived, several staff officers in the room immediately stood up and saluted, and the sound of neat leather boots clattering alerted the person on the other side of the phone.

"William, what's wrong with calling me so late?"

Edmund's voice came from the phone bug's mouth, and he vividly imitated the sleepy-eyed appearance of the other party.

"Tom the Fishman is dead. William said, then bowed to the staff officers and sat them down.

Edmund on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and seemed to think for a few seconds before he realized who Tom the fishman was: "He built a sea train so well, why did he die all of a sudden?"

William told Edmund and the staff officers in the house about the content of the information about this incident, and after everyone figured out the cause and effect, he said: "Why is the world government suddenly eyeing him, it is not our turn to manage it for the time being, but even if it does, you need to go to the Great Voyage first, you should prepare immediately, and you will leave for the Great Voyage within a week." ”

Although William of this expedition is not ready to be himself, the team configuration is also quite luxurious, in addition to the leader Edmond, there are also Selkirk, who has entered the great voyage, Harden, who volunteered, Crow, Diego, who is experienced at the helm, and Jesus, who is a sharpshooter.

In addition, some old pirates who had followed William's side, such as the drunkard Hutcherson, and newcomers from the Guards and Newest Academy, such as Lobida Rohr, will also join the fleet.

Finally, after William carried out the reform of the army, he recruited some armed personnel from the local area who were different from the regular army, and there were many criminals from other countries, even bandits and gangsters, but because of their talents, more precisely the ability to kill enemies for William, they were incorporated into the militia.

Although the discipline and loyalty were much worse, and there were many people who stood out, such as a young man named Crick, whom William had been paying attention to for a long time, and who was also sent to the expedition this time.

The Great Voyage Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, especially in the second half of the New World, where the sea pirates are even enough to compete with the navy, but with such a configuration, entering the Great Route, unless they encounter a number of murderers in the first half, there will be no problems, after all, as an expedition, they have an official legal identity, and they do not need to hide in Tibet in order to escape the pursuit of the navy like other pirates.

William discussed with his staff officers about the weapons and supplies to carry, and William considered it, but still did not let them bring with them the M.H.2, a chemical weapon that had been developed to the second generation.

After everything was finalized, the meeting was dismissed, and these young staff officers endured their sleepiness and began to contact various departments separately.
