Chapter 166: Persuasion (3/3)
Chapter 166 Persuasion
The banquet was, of course, paid for by the revolutionary army.
For example, Leo and Long are actually rich, and the revolutionary army does not have much place to spend money, that is, they need to pay for their own food, clothing, housing, and transportation, including weapons and warships.
But in fact, this is all small money, and there will not even be much money to start a subversive war, because the high-end combat effectiveness of the revolutionary army is very large and very strong.
If you count carefully, the revolutionary army has its own army commanders in the east, west, north and south, that is to say, there are revolutionary bases, and the combat effectiveness of these army commanders is not bad, even if it is not the level of the Seven Martial Seas, it should also have the intermediate level of the cadres of the Four Emperors, plus the dragons of the sports war, the demon king Ivankov, the big bear, and Sabo, several strong men at the level of the Seven Martial Seas, once the war starts, the other party will be attacked like a storm.
For example, Sabo was already proficient in using the domineering of the armed color at the age of seventeen, and at the age of nineteen, he had been active in various battlefields for two years, and he was already experienced in many battles.
Moreover, the dragons are generally recruited by some war orphans, and the food burden is not beaten, and there are several grain production bases similar to Koshiro, and the grain in these remote places cannot be sold at a price, and you only need to collect the grain regularly to get a large amount of food at a very cheap price, and there is no economic pressure.
As for Leo, it goes without saying that a monopoly, a futures trader, a stock market barometer, a business ghost, an explorer, it is difficult to spend the money in his life just by spending it casually, but if you want to support a country, you still can't do it.
That's right, from the very beginning, Leo's gold reserves were going to the world government.
When the banquet started, no one cared about the two people sitting in the corner talking with beers, which was also in line with their wishes.
Both of them are smart people, and they know that these things are not suitable for formal occasions to say, but it is better for the two to talk in private now.
The dragon soon realized that everything before should have been the other party's thoughts, because the clear logic and articulate performance of the other party during the conversation made him sure that the other party was indeed a very thoughtful guy.
After learning a little more, the dragon was quickly convinced by Leo.
In just a few months, as a slave, he started to win over the combat power of the One Piece Empress, and then used the One Piece Empress to pry the Big Scimitar Pirates step by step, the Spade Pirates, and then defeated Anilu and then pulled him over through the interests of becoming stronger, and then to Nico Robin, Lafayette, and Van Oka their allegiance.
It can be said that Leo has gone from a powerless person to the present, and every step is not easy.
Of course, the most critical step is to impress the empress, if it weren't for this step, everything would be over, which can be described as very magical.
The dragon was amazed and said a little bit about their current situation.
Their intelligence network is even stronger than Leo imagined, and when they discovered the new type of warship that the Navy experimented with, they knew that something terrible must have happened within the Navy, and in this case, the Revolutionary Army also obtained Vegapunk's materials and information, and it is not an exaggeration to treat such a scientist no matter how he is treated.
So they plan to send Xiong to do the dead room, he is the only cadre of the revolutionary army in the navy who does not know, this task, no one is capable of this task except him.
"I don't support this plan." Leo said very seriously.
"Oh?" The dragon looked at Leo slowly, although he didn't speak, and he didn't have any expression, but the tattooed face and half-convex head were enough to cause a lot of pressure just by standing there and not saying anything.
He quietly waited for Leo's explanation, and Leo was not stage frightened, and slowly gave his reasons.
He didn't say anything about the bear's strategic-level ability: in the future, he might develop the ability to pop Devil Fruit out of the human body.
He just said it in small detail: "This is opportunism. Leo looked directly into the dragon's eyes, and said without losing his hand: "If you should give up a Seven Martial Sea-level combat power to gamble on a future just because you have this opportunity, I'd rather not have this future." ”
"Vegapunk may really be as important as you say, he represents advanced science and productivity, but first you have two opportunistic mistakes: first, you think Vegapunk will accept your ideas and contact us through bears."
"Second, do you think Vegapunk could really escape even if he really accepted your ideas and contacted us through the bear?"
"A scientist like him, the Navy uses admiral-level combat power to protect him, how many sacrifices do we need to use to snatch him out, how many sacrifices do we need to use to completely get him out of the pursuit of the Navy, and how much money do we need to spend to give him a base that can develop his talent?"
"Is it worth it for these combat powers? Is it worth it? How many more people are needed to keep him safe and cover his whereabouts? ”
"These investments are completely astronomical for the revolutionary army, they are net investments that do not see any hope of returning to their original needs, our forces are limited, and after these investments are made, we will not go to rescue the civilians, nor will we go to agitate for the revolution, nor will we go to spread ideas, and all our actions must be stopped, and we will act for the sake of an illusory Vegapunk."
"Is it worth it?!"
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
Leo is not just thinking about a Vegapunk, but also what happened after Vegapunk, Long listened to it in a cold sweat, only to find that such a doctor needs such a large investment, only the Navy has the kind of skill and ability to keep Vegapunk and broadcast a lot of money to him for research and development.
And the revolutionary army is small, let alone supporting the research and development of Vegapunk, and even bringing Vegapunk out and hiding it will have to pay a huge price.
Is it all worth it?
Of course it's not all! If this is a decisive battle, then the revolutionary army will fight to the death with the navy, but if it is only invested in a battleship that has no results at all, and now only the navy's new windless belt crossing warship for the time being, then this is far from qualifying them to invest so much.
It can be said that the information that Big Bear may have brought to the revolutionary army during his death was very valuable.
But he initially co-opted and took away Vegapunk's idea that the purpose was absolutely wrong.
It wasn't until Leo woke up that Dorag was drenched in a cold sweat and woke up like a dream.
"Thank you!" His iron hands grabbed Leo's shoulders, and he spoke firmly and relievedly.
