Chapter 189: Turning the tide of battle
Since the Whiskey Peaks have quieted down, Lafayette's task has taken on a heavy footing.
He began to travel frequently between Whiskey Peak and Gaya Island, bringing messages from both sides.
For example, with the dragon's white phone bug, Leo can talk to Hancock, but about the new gun, Lafayette has to bring back the blueprints for them to copy, even if they can't move them.
Of course, it is more important to invite the empress and her key members to come to Whiskey Mountain to carry out this unprecedented gathering of revolutionary army cadres.
This time the assembly actually started very early, like the ships of the revolutionary army brought by the dragons and they went to the base of the revolutionary army on the great route, and wanted to bring all the revolutionary troops of the great route - and the backbone.
And the dragon had already informed the cadres of the revolutionary army in the four seas that they would arrive intermittently in the coming month.
Such a spectacular situation can only occur at a world conference in the next five years.
Leo rallied the Revolutionary Army not for anything else, but for a few serious things:
Define a strategy.
Develop a route.
Decide to lead.
Planning thoughts.
Approve enlightenment.
Co-ordinate efforts.
Thought lessons.
Finally, develop tactics to execute tactics to drive strategy.
All of this requires a strong leadership that is coordinated, unified, and centralized.
Leo could not be the leader, but he would have to plan the route of the revolutionary army.
It's not a matter of left and right, it's a matter of life and death.
So don't look at the seven martial seas now, the dragon and Ivankov are very obedient, but in fact they all have their own ideas and thinking, and all Leo can do now is to slowly instill these new things in them, and it is their own business whether they accept it or not.
The other is to cast a wide net and catch fish.
Whiskey Mountain is a node, and Gaya Island is also a node, and then Leo will organize nodes one after another, turning the first half of the Great Voyage into a fishing net, catching those promising supernovas, or people like the Green Bull and Vine Tiger who have to join the navy for justice, and finally complete the capture or persuasion of them.
The strength of the navy weakened a little, and Leo's strength increased a little, and the more difficult it became for the world government, and the more afraid it was to move.
Leo is weaving a net, and the net is the super newcomers of the future, so why not weave a net that is getting tighter and tighter for the world government?
Leo was not idle, but was really waiting for the various cadres of the Revolutionary Army to convene the first New Revolutionary Army Conference.
As the days passed, more and more people came in to Leo's research on artillery, as mentioned in the previous chapter: what man doesn't like artillery?
Whiskey Mountain doesn't have many gigantic people, but they do have a gigantic Nanamukai: Big Bear.
Big Bear's strength can already be said to be the top existence in the entire One Piece world, and the four emperors and three generals are all bad, but there is actually no standard answer to who is stronger and who is weak between the four emperor cadres and the seven martial seas.
For example, the strange monk who is one of the eleven supernovas can take out one of the four generals of the Big Mom Pirates, and Luffy's subordinates also have back and forth with other cadres, and even X Drake and Apu are among the top masters in Kaido's cadres, but they must not be able to defeat the powerful Seven Martial Seas.
They can still fight a dozen parallel goods like Moria, but if it is the Hawkeye Empress Jinping Big Bear, they definitely have no chance of winning.
And Da Xiong is probably one of the most powerful in the Seven Martial Seas - he is a spy, and he will definitely hide his combat power, which means that he may be the strongest one among the Seven Martial Seas, and only Hawkeye, who is known as the "strongest swordsman in the world", has doubts.
And in the face of such a strong man, he who also has a fleshy ball fruit has become the best touchstone.
In other words, it is similar to the strength test in C9.
It's just that the upper limit of the bears is stronger than that of the C9s.
For example, when the 105mm cannon faced the bear, they tested it with armed color domineering, and then bounced it away with the meat ball fruit, and finally tested the power of this weapon, which required the bear to use a few points of strength to deal with it.
With such benchmarks, they were able to test the power levels of many weapons.
Most of today's guns and cannons are solid shells, which means that there is no gunpowder inside the shells, because Leo has not yet developed a time-delay fuse.
But it doesn't matter, solid artillery shells are already terrible, especially since a certain range of attack is abandoned, and the warhead of the shell is cut into a chrysanthemum shape.
Once it hits the enemy ship, the power will be dispersed, this special dummy shell is more vicious than the dummy bullet, the ordinary dummy rifle bullet will split after hitting the enemy, but the kinetic energy of this cannonball is too strong, it can still maintain a complete flight trajectory at the first four or five kilometers distance, and beyond this distance or after colliding with something, the kinetic energy will immediately make the cannonball fall apart, like a goddess scattering flowers into the enemy's hull or body.
The rotational kinetic energy of the long pieces of metal scattered is extremely terrifying, and at the level of the current battleship, no wooden battleship can withstand this cannon attack.
And the navy has actually begun to slowly equip armored warships now, and it can be seen that three years later, both Luffy and Blackbeard will flee directly when they encounter the navy's battleships.
If it's a close-range battle, Blackbeard and Luffy are of course not afraid of the navy, but the problem is that most of the navy doesn't come close at all, they just need to fire at a distance, like the natural Devil Fruit ability is a minority after all, and even if it is the natural Devil Fruit, there are many that can't fly: for example, Snow Fruit, Swamp Fruit, Dark Fruit, etc., and among the fruits that can fly, there are very few people who can sweep away a ship by one person, and the defense of the warship is stronger than you, and the speed is faster than you, If the firepower is stronger than you, I will fly your kite, and anyone can only be sunk obediently.
When your ship sinks, the Devil Fruit Ability is a younger brother, and after slowly establishing him and sinking him, Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors, is not a dead end?
But if one of these things changes, the situation will be completely different - whether you can run faster than the navy, or have more armor than naval firepower, or your artillery is stronger than the navy's, the situation will be reversed.
And what Leo is doing is exactly that.
