East Sea, Rogue Town.

After making a cooperation pact with Galen to "fight together and catch thieves together", Smoker left for a short two-day stay in the former Klick territory and the current Deppon Logistics headquarters before returning to Rogue Town.

After all, Smoker is still the chief official of the town guard of Rogue Town, and his job is to guard the gate from the East China Sea to the Great Waterway.

If you leave for too long, maybe the pirates will take advantage of this opportunity to smuggle in en masse.

Before leaving, Smoker also brought a donation from Comrade Galen, the "enthusiastic masses of the East China Sea"——

A battleship.

The battleship was massive, with a displacement of almost twice as much as Smoker's original one.

And this battleship is also equipped with a new type of artillery developed by Galen - in fact, the solid shells have been replaced with special bucky shells.

Earlier, when Nami was looting Bucky's treasure, she easily obtained the recipe for Bucky's special high explosives.

The reason why artillery technology is backward in this world is because artillery plays little role in the face of the strong, and the decisive factor in naval warfare is close-range combat.

However, there are not many strong people who can ignore solid artillery shells in the East China Sea, and even fewer strong people who can launch counterattacks in the face of a large-scale fleet of special Pakistan shells covering bombardment.

Nami originally thought that this thing had no effect on herself, but she didn't throw it away because of the psychology of "grabbing everything", but she didn't expect that now it has become a magic weapon to ensure the combat superiority of the Debang fleet.

After visiting and witnessing the power of the new artillery, Smoker, the supreme commander of the Eastern Naval District, was also unconsciously attracted by the charm of the giant ship's cannon and took the initiative to eat the "sugar-coated cannonball" sent by Galen.

Returning to Rogue Town with this crime-fighting weapon, Smoker can be said to have returned with a full load.

However, Smoker also left some "sincerity of cooperation":

Sergeant Dusty and the thirty elite navy he had brought with him from his headquarters were left with Galen by Smoker as a link between the two sides.

With Dusty as the chief instructor and the elite navy of the headquarters as the instructor, the recruits of Debang Company finally have a systematic and professional training mechanism, completely getting rid of the unorganized and undisciplined gangster model of the old pirate group.

And in addition to one battleship, there was another man who followed Smoker to the town of Rog:

Wallace.

Debang logistics company wants people, money, guns, ships, intellectual property rights, and military bosses, and the company has the current "overlord of the East China Sea" in charge, which can be said to have all the favorable factors for opening a shipping logistics company.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

Just as some capital tycoons will rudely throw money at acquisitions before entering a new industry, Galen now needs the help of experienced industry insiders, preferably directly with companies in the industry.

In this way, the company can quickly expand its business and achieve profitability.

Galen, Nami, and Tex didn't understand business matters, and Wallace, who came from a proud merchant family, naturally took on the task of opening the market door for the company.

And Wallace's family originally had a shipping company of considerable scale

So, he returned to his family mansion in Rogue Town.

..........................................................

"Hahaha!"

A hearty laugh resounded in the luxurious mansion of the Wallace family:

"Wallace!"

"And said he wouldn't do business!"

A middle-aged man in a crisp suit with a personable appearance was patting Wallace on the shoulder very unvividly at this time, and laughed heartily:

"How long has it been?"

"Not only have you taken the line of the naval commander of the Rogue Town headquarters, but you have also brought such a big deal to our Michael family from the new 'East China Sea Overlord'!"

Although it is true, it always sounds like there is a sense of disobedience between officials and businessmen and gangster deals.

So, Wallace retorted with some discomfort:

"Uncle Bogkin, Lord Galen is not some kind of 'overlord'."

"He's not the same guy as Click."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Bogkin nodded perfunctorily:

"It doesn't matter if he's a 'hegemon' or a 'knight', it's good if we have money to make."

"And what about our cooperation?"

Wallace dutifully sided with Galen and discussed it with his own family.

"Of course there is no problem."

Bogkin waved his hand again exaggeratedly:

"The opportunity to cooperate with an emerging force is hard to come by."

"The family's shipping business group can be directly resold to him at a low price!"

"As long as your Galen-sama is strong enough, our whole family will have no problem working for him."

"Lord Galen won't let a merchant like you work for him."

Wallace retorted with some displeasure.

"No, no, no!"

"You still don't understand business things."

Bogkin stretched out an index finger and shook it vigorously in front of his nephew:

"As long as there are enough interests, people can let go of some trivial little principles."

"This 'Knight of Justice' already has the most powerful force in the East China Sea, and his pattern is far larger than that of Klick's kind of pirate, and his power will soon swell like a balloon."

"With such a fast-growing force, how can there be no professional business talents to take care of him?"

There was a shrewd glint in his eyes:

"The shipping division of the resale company is just a stepping stone."

"There is no more rewarding business in this world than investing in a 'kingdom'!"

"Humph!"

Wallace, who had always hated business, snorted even more dissatisfiedly.

Bogkin didn't pay any attention to his nephew's cold snort, just grabbed a bottle of expensive red wine and poured it into the mouth.

Although he is a well-behaved business elite on the outside, an aristocratic gentleman who can't find fault with anyone, he will show his bohemian side in front of his familiar family.

"But..."

After taking two sips of red wine, Bogkin's expression became serious again: "I have one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

Wallace asked in a deep voice.

"This condition is not for that Lord Galen."

Borgkin was deeply oblivious to Wallace for a look:

"That's for you."

"Your father has returned to China."

"He's waiting for you at home."

Wallace's face immediately became gloomy, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "He wants me to go back to that country?" ”

"What that country!"

Bogkin slammed the bottle on the table and shouted:

"No matter how much you hate the system of the country, you are also a high-class nobleman of the Goa Kingdom!"

"Chasing a dream? Bah! ”

"Without a family background, you can't even step into the door of the Donghai Daily with your qualifications!"

Bogkin tore the collar of his suit messy, and shouted with a red neck:

"You are qualified to sit here and talk to me about the shipping business, and you are also relying on your status as a noble concubine!"

"While enjoying the benefits of your family's wealth and status, you don't care about everything you have?"

"Wake up! It's time for you to take on a little family responsibility, too! ”

"I..."

Wallace's face was gloomy, and he couldn't say anything.

Uncle Bogkin had always had a good relationship with him, and this conversation had previously only occurred between him and his own father.

And today his uncle even scolded him mercilessly, which made Wallace a little difficult to deal with.

But it didn't take long for Uncle Borgkin's face to turn sunny again.

He patted Wallace on the shoulder and comforted:

"Let's go back home."

"Besides, even if it's for business, you should take that Lord Galen back to our family headquarters."

"Huh?"

Wallace asked, somewhat surprised, "Why did Lord Galen come too?" ”

"Your Lord Galen has a lot of ambitions!"

"The strongest force, the largest fleet, the most professional and detailed charts of the East China Sea... It is also the largest shipping company in the East China Sea. ”

Bogkin took another sip of his wine and explained angrily:

"But in this era of pirates, it's not easy to mess with anyone who does shipping."

"There is not a single route or island on the sea that has not been set foot by existing forces; Even our family can only barely monopolize the business of a few popular routes. ”

"Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents."

"If we want to cooperate with the 'East China Sea Overlord', we have to bear the pressure of the 'East China Sea Overlord' level."

Bogkin glanced at his nephew lightly:

"This is a big investment related to the rise and fall of the family, shouldn't we meet officially?"

"That's right."

Wallace lowered his head and muttered to himself:

"However, I always feel that you are lying to me to return to China..."

"Ahem..."

Bogkin stuffed a bottle of wine, and said with a slightly drunken flush:

"The business is all over, don't think too much!"

"Drink, drink!"

Bogkin said again:

"By the way, tell me a good story about that Lord Galen!"
