Chapter 169: A Living Legend

William had already met many people who had worked in journalism before he met Gesseta.

Therefore, when he met Gesseta, he didn't spend extra time trying slowly, because he didn't care if the flattering person in front of him would leak the news.

William asked directly, "How do you think you can get people to accept a pirate who has been a slave and become their ruler?"

Geseta's heart tightened, he is a smart man, otherwise he would not have seized the opportunity to attract attention by fabricating the news of the "Young Godfather", this resume is also valued by William, which shows that Geseta is smart and flexible.

In an instant, Geseta summed up several extremely important pieces of information through William's words:

First, the boss in front of him is an ambitious figure, and he is not satisfied with the status quo.

Second, this boss is still a murderous pirate.

Third, it is likely that he was from a humble background and even worked as a slave.

Geseta didn't care if he had been a slave or not, even if William had been a slave before, but now he was a big man that Geseta had to look up to, and he could easily crush a small character like him with his fingers.

For the sake of his future and life, Gesetta's mind spun fast, and after a while, he lowered his head and said: " People like stories, especially wonderful stories, if I were to operate, I would find a way to package them through public opinion, little by little, to shape the trough of life into an inspiring model, to shape the twists and turns of experience into a convincing story, so that he can become a legend in addition to his own ability, a unique, tempered, determined and unfazed character, so that those origins and experiences, after guidance, will be seen as a test destined to appear in the heroic story and be used to make the protagonist strongerBut the main thing is to rely on comparison. ”

"Contrast?" William raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, by a man of noble birth, who was born with everything, and whose abilities are mediocre," said Gersetta, who boldly looked up at William, and when he saw him smiling, he said bluntly, "by his foolishness your wisdom, by his absurdity to your wisdom, by his humility to your tallness, and from his luck one can see how extraordinary the suffering you have experienced! ”

William knew who Gerseta was talking about.

Since the control of Kalmar City, more than three months have passed, but William still has not abolished the throne of Norton I, the main reason is that the countryside and immigration movement is about to begin, although the fundamental purpose of these two policies is to solve the problem of urban population, but whether it is to send residents to a strange countryside, or let them go to a deserted island, in the short term, it is not like moral politics, it will take a while to show its effect, William is still on the stage with Norton I, just to help himself bear the infamy during this time。

He even deliberately set up a parliament to involve all the nobles, the official statement is naturally to allow the nobles to supervise the administration, in fact, it is a kind of surveillance, he requires all nobles to be like work, every day on time to appear in the parliament and show up, violators will be deprived of the title of nobles, making a group of nobles who do not produce all year round miserable.

William was satisfied with Gesetta's answer, and said: "I want to run two newspapers, one of which is a military newspaper, style and requirements, I will have someone hand it over to you in three days, and I will see the finished product in a month, if I entrust you, can you do it?"

"No problem!" Geseta agreed without even thinking about it, as a man who is good at seizing the moment, he will not sit back and watch the opportunity slip away from him, whether he can do it is something that he needs to think about later.

"I'll let Sherlock assist you," William said and waved his hand, "You go down first." ”

As Geseta left, William pulled out a newspaper from his desk drawer and looked at the eye-catching headline:

"The nobles of the world are about to visit the East China Sea. ”

The East China Sea, the homeland of One Piece, can be said to be a model of "peace" created by the world government, whether it is the navy or the world government, they will publicize this achievement to the world every now and then.

It is for this reason that the nobles of the world, that is, the Tianlong people, once again visit the East China Sea to "condole" the countries of the East China Sea.

This kind of fart does not have "condolences", in William's opinion, except for inviting an uncle to make trouble for the countries of the East China Sea, there is no superfluous use, but the newspaper is still full of flattery, which makes William frown.

"Mouthpiece ....... William sighed, he was a traverser, the form of war on the earth in his previous life had long been separated from simple hand-to-hand combat, and propaganda, public opinion, trade, and so on were all used.

The status of the Celestial Dragon people in the hearts of the natives of this world cannot be changed by talking, even if they are unruly pirates, even if they are not afraid of ordinary kingdom nobles, but there are many people who are afraid of the Celestial Dragon people, and it can even be said that they are universal.

That's why William has always wanted to run a newspaper, just to have his own mouthpiece, so that he can have a subtle influence on more people's thoughts.

William's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, and a young man from the Cadet Army of Kalmar City pushed open the door, saluted William, and said, "Sir, someone from the Kingdom of Goya said that their banquet is ready. ”

William got up and saluted in return, straightened the hem of his clothes, and looked out the window at the carriage that had been parked below.

William's current location is not the territory of the Kingdom of Navia, and he is on a state visit to the capital of the neighboring Kingdom of Goa.

Three months earlier, not long after taking control of the city of Kalmar, William had Norton I decree that he be made Viscount of the Kingdom, First Consul, responsible for commanding armies, presiding over parliament, administering administration, issuing decrees, and representing the state in foreign affairs.

With this series of powers, and most importantly military power, William is actually not much different from a real king, and even much stronger than those kings who have lost power because of their lack of talent and prestige.

After three months of repression and purge, the domestic situation gradually stabilized, and William, as the first consul, actively engaged in diplomacy with the surrounding area, intending to gain recognition from the outside world and turn the existing situation into an established fact.

And the first stop of his diplomatic trip was the Kingdom of Goa.
