Chapter 560: Presiding over the overall situation

Chapter 560 presides over the overall situation

Sakasky didn't understand why everyone was so excited, but some could understand what such a movable naval headquarters and judicial island meant.

This means that if they encounter pirates, they can go through a one-stop process: suppression, sentencing, and service.

Of course, there are some deeper meanings in it that Sakasky didn't think about it deeply, and with his IQ he couldn't think of anything more, but the whole city went crazy.

After the Golden City of Tezzolo, everyone was shocked by the revolutionary army's generosity, everyone thought that it was just an accidental moving island, so they were crazy about the real estate above, and the second-hand land prices above the entire Golden City had risen to the sky.

But now it seems that there are countless strange things in the entire pirate world, such as this movable island, which no one thought would become a base for the new revolutionary army until the revolutionary army dragged them back.

Of course, Leo didn't think of this at first.

But when Luffy delivered the gift to him, he understood what to do.

Similarly, the ordinary people and merchants of Gaya Island did not think of this, but when the revolutionary army gradually drove the three warships over, everyone seemed to have burst through the paper window at once, and suddenly "oh" out.

Obviously, the poverty alleviation policy mentioned by the revolutionary army before is by no means limited to the battleship Golden City.

The residents of Gaya Island are obviously the most hurt in the face of this kind of move, but in fact, because most of the people in Gaya Island are one or two generations of immigrants, and they have not yet formed a deep-rooted interest and power class, for everyone, moving the capital will move the capital, and it is a big deal to directly abandon Gaya Island and go directly to the three islands.

This is actually what Leo thinks, he just doesn't want the whole island to appear a deep-rooted power on one side, the current time is just right, if you wait a little longer, this kind of force will appear, it will become a resistance to the revolutionary army - in fact, he has already appeared, but everything is under Leo's control, and the merchants are also plotting to fund their own spokesperson, so that their voices can appear among the upper echelons of the revolutionary army.

In fact, they are very good choices, for example, Morgaus, the Minister of Information, is a good candidate, as the former news king of the black market, he was born with the same blood as the merchants.

He must have been happy to help the merchants make some noise.

In addition to Morgaons, there are other people who are disgruntled, who feel that it is enough to camp on the island of Gaya, these people do not have a specific representative, but Leo knows that they are lurking within the revolutionary army, he can occasionally hear their voices, they don't want to leave, they don't want to move, they have taken root in this city, they have started a family, they can work hard for the revolutionary army, but they don't want to leave this city to create a new capital.

This is a very normal human reaction, because not everyone can leave their family behind and tie their family to the station train of the revolutionary army.

Compared with the revolutionary army that Leo has seen before, the revolutionary army of this era also has a very significant distinction between public and private: they put their home aside, and then go out to fight by themselves, they win the glory of their ancestors and benefit the whole family, and if they lose and die outside, it will not affect the family and have nothing to do with the locals.

In a sense, this kind of revolutionary army has not yet left the category of pirates, and the path is the same as that of the pirates.

But when Leo appeared, when the revolutionary army defeated the navy, the situation like this was improved, and in a sense, the revolutionary army was able to get married, have children, and set up camp on the island of Gaya was already a great progress.

But as long as they are people, they will have inertia, they will not want to forge ahead, when they have defeated the navy, defeated the three emperors, and only the last emperor has also come to "pay tribute" and worship the docks, and now their revolutionary army is invincible in the world, is there any need to make any movable capital, judicial island, and big prison?

In fact, they are willing to transform these three islands into fortresses and cruise around the world - this is almost a complete version of the unsinkable aircraft carrier of a certain country in the Americas.

But it is precisely their thinking that prompts Leo to turn the capital into a movable city: first of all, this is the sea, this is the world of One Piece, and in the world of One Piece, unless it is an unsinkable continent like the Red Earth Continent, it stands directly in the middle of the four seas, isolating the four seas, but it naturally brings together the shipping lanes of the four seas. Otherwise, a movable capital would be able to solve a lot of trouble.

The first problem that can be solved is the problem of geographical discrimination.

Secondly, there is the question of the absorption of nutrients in the capital, the location of the island of Gaya is very good, and the vicinity is a location of cloudless good weather that is rare among the great shipping routes, but it is clear that even such a place with good weather, if it wants to become prosperous in the great shipping route, it still requires merchants to come here from the depths of the four seas and the great shipping route with heavy casualties, and then go back.

Gaya is not only absorbing nutrients from merchants from all over the world, but also from the kingdoms of Alabastan, the country of Magnetic Drums, and even the dinosaur paradise.

Although the spillover of these revenues due to the wealth of the revolutionary army can make the nearby islands rich, the island of Gaya, the capital, will not change in absorbing the nutrients from these places and from all over the world.

However, when the capital of the revolutionary army became a place where circulation was very slow, prices were very flat, and housing prices were very low, the problems of capital accumulation caused by the bad political effects of all the capitals that Leo had seen in his previous life could be solved, resulting in population involution, resource runs, and overflow of prices and housing prices.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if it can't be solved, how can an island that can be moved choose a more suitable place to camp and directly become a real island and capital without worrying about other messy problems.

It can be said that moving the capital is a move to attack, retreat and defend, and it really amazes most people.

But at the same time, everyone is starting to worry about when Gaya Island will be abandoned.

Suddenly, the crowd dispersed like a tidal wave, and only the man Sakasky had just seen had come to the harbor with a group of beautiful women.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Many people greeted this man respectfully, so that people who didn't know him understood his identity at once.

This man who is not very handsome but very temperamental greets people from all over the world with a smile. One side came to the dock under the shield of the crowd

A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the three-masted terror galleon that was approaching, and it was obvious that he was also very concerned about this matter.

But looking back, when he saw the worried gazes of the people, he seemed to realize something. He suddenly jumped on top of a shipping container and stood on it, shouting:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Even if the capital becomes these three movable sailing ships, the status of Gaya Island will not change! As the place where we first started, Gaya Island and Sky Island have extremely precious memories and places in our hearts! That's why even if we move away, Gaya will still be thriving! We will keep this place permanently tax-free! Any merchant who trades in this place can get tax-free benefits!! ”

That's right, that's why Leo moved the capital.

You can see that there is nothing special about Gaya Island, if the only special place is that he can connect to the Sky Island, buy some shells of the Sky Island, and let the pirates who enter the Great Voyage record the compass here.

With the exception of gold, this place has no characteristics and characteristics of a trading center, and people prefer to trade at the mouth of the great shipping route such as the Kingdom of Alabastan, or in the center of a key transportation artery such as the Chambord Islands.

The second level is that the capital of the seven waters, which has its own unique shipbuilding technology, is an indispensable center for the sale and purchase of goods on the sea.

It can be seen that the island of Gaya does not have the environmental conditions of the main transportation routes, nor does it have a strong shipbuilding capacity and industrial level, in fact, all the shipyards and shipbuilding centers on the island of Gaya have to be transferred with the capital.

In other words, the prosperity of Gaya Island was entirely contributed by the Revolutionary Army, and the reason why its characteristic attracted merchants was that it was the capital of the Revolutionary Army, and he was the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.

Relying on the consumption of 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers at the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army and their families, it is enough to support this huge market.

Once the revolutionary army moved from here, everything would be closed, the huge consumer market would collapse directly, and the merchants would evacuate from here, and even follow in the footsteps of the revolutionary army's capital, ready to serve these two or three hundred thousand people and their families at any time.

This is the most basic service industry, but it is also one of the most lucrative professions, and the so-called service industry is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Once the merchants and revolutionary troops left, the place would plummet and the economy would collapse. At that time, the people who remained here will begin to resent why the revolutionary army moved the capital out of here.

That's human nature.

However, sometimes the government just wants to go against the sky, completely ignoring the influence of geographical conditions and human factors, and directly change the life of the local development against the sky.

Of course, this kind of development is very difficult, but it does not mean that difficulties do not necessarily lead to development.

For example, New Oriental, where Leo was reborn, absorbed the spillover economy of developed cities and provinces through special trade methods such as building roads and buying and selling local specialties online.

This local specialty can be embroidery, agricultural products, or industrial goods.

The other way is very simple: it is to give a privilege that is not available elsewhere in the place, which can be tax exemption, whether it is to buy or sell things that are not allowed by the laws of other places, or gambling or other messy things.

Leo, as a person from the New Oriental, of course, could not choose such things as pornography, gambling and drugs, so he directly gave Gaya Island the same economic treatment as the Gold.

The advantage of the Gold is that it can be moved, so its tax exemption can be carried around with the merchants.

The advantage of Gaya is that it is immovable, and this immovable duty-free permanent place is bound to attract the attention and investment of many businessmen.

What's more, continuing to trade commodities on Pressurized Island would have been a smooth sailing exercise.

After all, the revolutionary army and merchants had already developed the island very well, whether it was the living environment, the storage of warehouses, or the trading market for large goods.

Therefore, when the revolutionary army is gone, the merchants who remain in the local area will probably not only not let the island of Gaya decline, but also turn the island into a trading and trade logistics center like the province of Moduqiong.

After hearing Leo's assurances and policies, everyone's hearts were finally put back in their stomachs. Many people raised their hands and cheered, and even some merchants threw their hats high into the sky to show their excitement: "Hooray! Long live the revolutionary army! Long live Mr. Leo! ”

Everyone exclaimed with such excitement, their feverish and happy expressions that made Sakasky's face look complicated.

"Is that the key to your victory?" Sakasky has touched the doorway of the revolutionary army a little, and the two sides are completely different in terms of the level of the logistics system -

Because the revolutionary army had a large amount of gold in their hands, they could easily order all kinds of goods from the merchants to be delivered to the island of Gaya within a set time frame.

However, the procedures of the navy are much more complicated, they must first go through approval, after approval, they have to allocate a budget, in the process, they also have to procure, and after the procurement, the Admiralty guards send them to the naval headquarters for supervision, or after transporting these materials to the city of streams, order the mayor of the deed tax system to build, and finally allocate funds to the other party

After this set of processes, it is already a good market for the Navy to build 10 warships

However, the revolutionary army directly shortened these steps to two steps: first, to develop warships, and then to purchase from merchants according to the number of warships to be launched each time, and when the merchants' purchases arrived, the revolutionary army's own workers, Jiangmen oars, began to build ships in three shifts all night

In fact, two years ago, the navy still had an advantage over the revolutionary army on the water, but the weapons could not guarantee their victory in a naval battle of the same scale, but a year ago, the navy had no way to compete with the revolutionary army on the sea, and when Luffy went to sea, the revolutionary army had begun to press the navy and even cut off the connection between the navy and the naval base

This is the so-called turning his enemies into fewer and more friends for himself, Leo laughs and teaches Sakasky a vivid lesson
