Volume 3: Calling the Wind and Rain Chapter 96 Aspiring Youth
Chapter Ninety-Six: Aspiring Youth
Ah Jin didn't quite understand Becker's actions in the town, he felt that Becker's actions were too lenient, and the people in power in the town might not be afraid of the Morgan Pirates from the bottom of their hearts.
Akin felt that he could, as Becker had told him before, extort some money from the town in the name of protection, without too much, but he had to remind them who had the absolute superiority in force.
What Becker said to Akin, under Barbarossa, was naturally not just a casual talk, but it was too early to talk about it, and the three chapters of his agreement with the mayor of the town and others did not involve the interests of these people in power in the town, except for the first one of the suspicions of implicating himself with them.
Now that the Morgan Pirates are not black and white in the East China Sea, blackmailing them again, maybe someone really took the risk to inform the navy.
Becker has no bounty now, in addition to his own low profile, only attacking pirates and never harassing civilians, and because Alcatio of the Buendia family actively intervened for him, some admirals directly put the credit for the extermination of the pirates by the Morgan Pirates on their heads.
But Becker is still not very comfortable with the help of the Buendia family, he doesn't want to be held in the future, so he also wants to open up his channels and connections in the official face.
In addition, Becker also wanted to learn something about the development of Devil Fruit abilities, or other ways to further improve his strength.
Becker's swordsmanship was learned under Koshiro, and there was someone to guide him, and there was a perfect inheritance.
In this world where the strength of one person alone can determine the rise and fall of a pirate group, the inheritance of this kind of swordsmanship is obviously like a military technique.
And if someone asks a person from the 21st century where the cutting-edge and powerful military technology is most likely to be, the vast majority of people will undoubtedly say that it is in the hands of government forces, and the rest of the answers are civilian armed people, probably people living in Mexico and other places.
Becker belongs to the vast majority of people, not to mention that he deduces from common sense that the world government and navy can suppress the pirates and chase the pirates around, obviously having an advantage in force, and the navy must have "military technology" like Koshiro's one-hearted swordsmanship, and there must also be knowledge about the development of Devil Fruit abilities.
…………
Alcatio actively campaigned for Becker, seeking a naval identity, in order to constantly eliminate Becker's thoughts in the official face and be manipulated by him.
The world's military system is undoubtedly very rudimentary and backward to a modern person like Becker from the 21st century, and naval bases around the world have considerable autonomy, often taking responsibility for everything from procurement to recruitment.
And because both the world government and the Navy Headquarters focused their attention on the great shipping routes, the Navy Headquarters was very lax in its management and supervision of the naval bases in the four seas, and because of the inconvenience of communication between the windless belts, and the infrequent transfer of soldiers and officers, the style of most naval bases depended almost exclusively on the consciousness of local leaders.
If the high-level generals of the base have served in the local area for a long enough time, and their personal force is strong, then their prestige is quite high, and they can recruit troops independently, and the soldiers of the base accept the influence of the generals from the time of recruits, and have the power to patrol the local waters at will, then the generals can easily turn a naval base into their own semi-independent kingdom, and they themselves can evolve into a small warlord.
In this case, as long as there are rich and people, it is very easy for Alcatio to stuff Becker into the naval system of the East China Sea.
If it weren't for Becker's insistence on personally leading his pirates to live and fight at sea for a few months in order to imprint his first wave of pirate team, he would have become a navy in the East China Sea long ago, and letting Neil become a navy first was the means he used to explore the way.
In August, Becker made a mark on his pirate team through a series of victories and a series of favorites, and entered the base of the 16th Navy Division in the East China Sea under Alcatio's arrangement, and introduced him as a recruit under an ensign named "Mouse".
The fleet was temporarily put in charge of the fleet by Akin, assisted by Cleon, while Tony continued to manage the mead business and spread the trade network.
Tony was a little dissatisfied with this arrangement, he was born as a gangster, he was more interested in being a king, and he always wanted to try to manage a pirate ship himself, and he thought he was Becker's veteran, and he had known Becker for much longer than Akin, but he didn't expect Becker to let him take care of business on the shore and let Ajin manage the fleet.
However, Becker has his own considerations, Tony is his own veteran, but not the veteran of the ship, rashly parachuting a senior leader is not conducive to the stability of the fleet, not to mention that Tony's own personality is not very good, and it is easy to intensify the contradictions on the ship.
Of course, the most important point is that Akin is more loyal to Becker than Tony, and much more loyal.
In the naval base, although Becker wanted to understand the system of the navy, he was unwilling to be a soldier all the time, so after observing for two months and perceiving the temperament of the rats, he began his corrosion plan.
Becker had looted booty and the profits of the mead business, a large wallet, and a crew of men who dared to fight and kill at sea, ready to kill other pirates for their credit.
And the rat is the same as his name, treacherous and greedy, he has elders in the world government and the naval headquarters, but he does not want to be a navy in the dangerous great route, so he uses his connections to be specially transferred to the East China Sea, where the pirate power is weakest, and wants to be a soil emperor.
Becker doesn't care how much this person's parents don't want to see him, and this does not prevent him from befriending him for his own purposes, but to say that the means of "befriending" such a thing as a person, Becker has a lot in his head.
Becker first brought a bottle of red leaf mead when he went to the rat's house for dinner, and then found out that there was a problem with the quality of the wine in the process of drinking with the rat lieutenant, and then under Becker's instigation and hints, the two contacted Tony to claim compensation, of course, under Becker's instructions, Tony sent a sum of money as "compensation", and Becker finally gave most of the money to the mouse on the grounds that the mead was originally a gift.
Tony, who has communicated with Becker, still thinks that things are complicated and troublesome, but Becker disagrees, he is a modern person, and he has been in contact with foreign companies, and has seen the twists and turns of foreign companies' brains and labyrinth-like bribery methods, especially when Japanese companies bribe, it can make people feel like a spring breeze, fully reflecting that he is from a country called the god of service, many domestic methods are left over from others, Becker as an aspiring young man with a goal to pursue, but also disdain to play low-level money tricks, The way to stuff money is ingenious, so that others can accept it with confidence.
Becker was even quite dissatisfied with the bribe, and sighed afterwards, feeling that he had not practiced his skills for a long time.
But in any case, the rat was not like the other soldiers because of Alcatio's relationship, and after receiving Becker's benefits, he treated him differently.
Moreover, the rat has connections in the naval headquarters and the world government, and Becker can send credit and funds, and the two hook up together, which is quite embarrassing.
