Chapter 443 Five-Year Plan (II)

Leo's words were jaw-dropping.

Before that, if someone said that he was going to do such a great project for the people of the world, then just like the World Government's [Bridge Country], the whole world would stir up even greater resistance.

Interestingly, it is strange that the largest source of soldiers for the revolutionary army is the slaves who escaped from the country of bridges.

In other words, in fact, the large-scale construction of the revolutionary army is actually very contrary to the original intention of its establishment.

But it's as if the word "defeated" is reversed: defeated. The same.

To speak, it is necessary to pay attention to art.

Leo's words made everyone very excited, and it was clear that Leo had seen the beginning of reincarnation and was already trying to cut it off.

"It's impossible, they can't succeed, they can't give up this kind of thing." The five old stars' faces were pale, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into some kind of curse, and they muttered to themselves: "Impossible, they can't dig through the Red Earth Continent, and they can't make the windless belt all wind, it's impossible!" ”

They roared as hard as they could, but it just proved that Leo was right, and I am afraid that the revolutionary army can really penetrate the whole world.

When they heard about this, the merchants had already congratulated each other, and they had even begun to open their own aging and began to celebrate the event.

After three or four years, the revolutionary army had a very strong reputation among the merchants, mainly because it did what it said and never defaulted on its payments, and it was precisely because of this that the revolutionary army was actually more popular with the merchants than the world government.

And it is not difficult to open up the four seas and open up the red earth mountain range, for the Celestial Dragon people, the five old stars, and Yimu, they have never considered this matter: this is conducive to rule.

For example, in the era of cold weapons, if a lord owns a Xiongguan, then his first reaction is not to dig up this Xiongguan and let the logistics and caravans run faster, but to hold this Xiongguan in his own hands, cut off the logistics of the two places, and then carry out taxes, which is still essentially an exploitation of land value, and a landlord's means of forcing people to leave here.

Land is one of the most important and valuable treasures of mankind.

After the Celestial Dragons got Mary Joy, of course, they were centered on Mary Joya and continued to dream of controlling the world's main roads.

That is to say, if you control Mary Joy, and then control the Chambord Islands, all the trade routes in the world will be controlled by the Draconians, and the merchants must pay money as long as they go here, otherwise, the navy stationed here is enough for you to have no return.

But Leo actually said that he would give up his own interests, open these key roads, and let the four seas have frequent exchanges, didn't he think about the impact this would have on his rule?

This is the difference between modern and ancient people, or between industrialized and agrarian societies.

The social output of agriculture is always that little bit of something, no matter how the merchants circulate, in fact, they are selling land at a high price, and they are not even as good as Langzhong who sells goods in the countryside.

As the saying goes, the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but why is it not the case with the merchants?

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for those in power not to value the merchants at all: they are not an essential part, and they will even share the interests of those in power, so naturally no one will value the merchants, and even despise and suppress the merchants.

In a sense, what the Draconians are doing to control the main transportation routes on the sea is actually the commercial characteristics of the agricultural era, but it is precisely because of this that the Draconians' control of the world is unbreakable: the pirates are nothing more than ringworm, and it is difficult to fundamentally affect the rule of the Dracos.

In fact, it can also be seen that Luffy and they are on a rampage along the way, and what they have beaten is nothing more than the lackey of the Celestial Dragons, the Seven Martial Seas, and there are many other pirates, as for the navy? There was not much loss in naval strength, but it was the internal strife within the navy that left a major general all of a sudden, and the major problem lies.

And even after Luffy and they overthrow the Draconians, this matter will not change, just like the five old stars said, they have lived long enough, and they understand enough that the end of one reincarnation is just the beginning of another reincarnation, even if a new king ascends the throne, for example, after Vivi, one of the Draconians who has a good relationship with the Straw Hats, leads the other "good Draconians" to inherit the kingdom and world government of Imu, they still won't change anything, In the beginning, under the leadership of King Xian, they were indeed able to make most of the people live a peaceful and prosperous life.

But soon their offspring will fall and will go to decay.

It's like what Kosha said to Vivi: "Can you guarantee that you are a good king, can you guarantee that the next generation will also be a good king?" What about the next generation? ”

A royal society cannot escape this kind of reincarnation.

But the revolutionary army could.

A new type of country with the people at its core and serving the people as the key point can.

This is a very different concept of the state from the royal states of the past.

I have razed the mountains, opened up the seas, allowed all the peoples to communicate with each other, and allowed trade to flow, but what if the people want to overthrow me?

Then let them overthrow! If it reaches that point, the revolutionary army composed of the people deserves to be destroyed by the people!

With such boldness, Leo did not hesitate to announce the five-year plan of the revolutionary army.

"In the fourth and fifth years, we will ensure that everyone is under the jurisdiction of the revolutionary army, that all people in the world are safe and that basic human rights are safe, and that all pirates are completely eradicated."

Leo put down the paper in his hand, sat down in his seat, looked directly at the phone bug, and said with a firm expression: "This is the promise I made to all the people of the world on behalf of the revolutionary army. ”

"We will do everything we can to fulfill these commitments, and if we can't, we will do so in the next five-year plan, and we will not delay until 10 years from now."

"So, I'm here to plead."

"O people of the whole world who have had enough of all this, please join us, please join our revolutionary army, we need a lot of people to do these great works, we need a lot of manpower to do these things."

"We will not force you to do anything, but we will ask you to join us in this great cause!"

"I'm done with my speech, thank you."

PS: I barely wrote a chapter, and I observed that the coders are all weak chickens, and they are basically uncomfortable as soon as they become warm, and the state will go wrong. I'm not the only one.
