Chapter 348 Treaty
"Rest assured,"
Princess Otohime sat beside King Neptune and said softly, "As long as we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy the government." β
"Good,"
Louis nodded lightly, "If you had such an attitude from the beginning, how could the relationship between humans and fish-people be so tense?" β
"Huh."
Princess Otohime laughed dryly, if it was like this from the beginning, where would there be any Fish-Man Island? It's absolutely impossible to get freedom and equality just by compromising everything, and of course Otohime understands such a thing, if it weren't for you guys coming here with enough force to easily destroy Fish-Man Island, who would have lowered their posture to such an extent.
"Then let's do the math first,"
Louis said in a deep voice, "Fisher? The damage caused by Tiger's actions is quite staggering, the Draconians' residence is surrounded by flames, and many slaves were killed in this rebellion, which is also the property of the Draconians, so it is unreasonable if this part of the loss is not compensated. β
"Of course, of course,"
King Neptune nodded, "How much does Lord Baixiang think is the right amount of compensation?" β
"Yes,"
Louis thought about it for a while, and estimated that Mary Joya had not been cleaned up yet, and it was impossible to calculate how much damage there was in total, so let's just say one casually.
"Five tens of billions of Baileys, that's about the same number."
Louis said.
"Poof~"
Kuzan, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, squirted out a sip of tea, but he really didn't expect Louis to open his mouth to be an astronomical amount, five tens of billions of Bailey? It's going to be crazy.
"Kuzan!"
Mr. Zefa glanced at his disciple very dissatisfied, it was okay in the past, but the more he grows, the more unsatisfactory he becomes, and none of the three most proud disciples is satisfactory in terms of personality.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lieutenant General Kuzan waved his hand again and again, "I've never heard of such a large number, I'm scared." β
"Lord Baixiang, are you serious?"
Princess Otohime was stunned for a moment after hearing Louie's words, and then smiled bitterly, "Five tens of billions of Bailey, we can't make up this number on Fish-Man Island at all, can we lower it a little?" β
"There's no need to discuss, this is already the minimum limit, and I'm also thinking about you, just to compensate the Tianlong people for their losses may not be enough,"
Louis said that the figure of 50 billion is indeed an astronomical amount for an individual, but it may not be for a country, after all, Pele's is about the same as the yen in his previous life, and 50 billion Pele's is really not too much.
"But I'm not a devil, give you five years, pay it off within five years, as a condition of grace, it shouldn't be too much to pay 10% of the interest every year, right?"
"What if it hasn't been paid off after five years?"
King Neptune gritted his teeth.
"That's not my business, think for yourself, but I don't think it's going to be too good."
Louie said casually.
ββ¦β¦β
King Neptune and his wife glanced at each other and nodded helplessly, "Understood, we can agree to this condition." β
"Good,"
Louis chuckled, "This attitude makes me very satisfied, and then, in order to prevent such a thing from happening again, and to prevent another fish-man attack on the government, Mr. Zefa,"
Louis looked at Zefa, "How about building a naval base on Fish-Man Island?" The scale of the G series. β
"Meet ββ!"
Zefa was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin and muttered, "This is a good idea, not only to be able to monitor the Fish-Man Clan, but also to deal with the pirates who went to the New World through Fish-Man Island in time." β
"Really?"
Louis smiled, "That's a good idea, isn't it?" It's also a good move for Fish-Man Island, with the advent of the era of pirates, Fish-Man Island has also been plagued by pirates, right? The naval base is built on Fish-Man Island, and it's time for the pirates to flee. β
ββ¦β¦β
Otohime was stunned for a moment, isn't this just to completely put the fish-people under the control of the government? But as Louis said, the presence of the navy will also be a good thing for Fish-Man Island, and then he said,
"It's not a problem, our Fish-Man Island is a member of the government, and it is naturally not a problem to build a naval base on Fish-Man Island, but the cost of building a naval base-"
The base of the G series is the highest standard branch base of the Navy, only under the main Marin Vando, and even in the original work, the G-1 base was directly transferred to the Marin Vando to become a new naval base, and the construction of a base of this scale will definitely not be a simple matter, and the cost will be scared to death.
"That's right, you shouldn't have much money to come up with 50 billion Baileys in five years, so let's do it,"
Louis looked at Zefa, "The navy pays for it, you pay for it, and Fish-Man Island has a population of at least five million, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" β
"Yes."
Zefa nodded, "But Baixiang, the problem is that the number of soldiers is not an easy thing to transport soldiers from the sea to Fish-Man Island. β
Coating into the sea, the casualty rate is too high, the navy is not a pirate, there is no need to fight like this.
"There is no problem, the navy only needs to send the officers over first, and the navy can be transported slowly,"
Louis looked at King Neptune, "Before that, ordinary soldiers were recruited from Fish-Man Island, isn't the average strength of the Fish-Man ten times that of normal humans?" I think it's going to be a good source of soldiers. β
"Lord Baixiang, you mean,"
Princess Otohime looked overjoyed, which was a surprise, "Let the Fish-People join the Navy?" β
"Isn't it possible?"
Louis was slightly surprised, "I think it will also help a little bit to ease the hatred between the fish man and the human." β
"Nope! No, I totally agree! β
Princess Otohime nodded hurriedly.
"Very good, then also send some fishmen to the sea to join the navy, no problem, Mr. Zefa, after all, I can't fully trust the fishmen, if the fishmen of the submarine base rebel in the future, we will at least have some countermeasures, well, it feels a little insufficient, King Neptune has three princes, right? Please go for one, too. β
Louis said.
"It's-"
King Neptune hesitated.
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that there's a huge gap between humans and fish-people after all,"
Zefa was also a little worried, but it wasn't a hostage problem, "I want them to live in harmonyβ"
"It depends on the strength of the navy,"
Louis laughed, "It's not something I should think about. β
"Okay."
Zefa nodded, "But there is also a strong person on the bottom of the sea, whether it is to deter pirates or suppress the fishmen, the general lieutenant general of the headquarters is probably not enough, Kuzan, you will sit here for the time being, right?" β
"Lieutenant General Kuzan? Wouldn't it be a waste? β
Louis really didn't expect Zefa to let Kuzan stay on Fish-Man Island.
"He's the most suitable,"
Compared to the words of Sakasky and Polusalino, "After two years, when you wait for the promotion of lieutenant general, let him come." β
Of course, Louis knows who Gaji is, and the future general will be a monster with outstanding strength.
"Okay, we'll have no problem on our side."
King Neptune said in a deep voice, and discussed with Otohime, if he let a son join the navy, it would not be a bad thing.
"Then the next most important question, the naval base as a monitoring agency, then ask Fish-Man Island to formulate a law, unless it is justified, all fish-people who have harmed humans should also be punished by the navy! Except, of course, if it's a pirate. β
"The abobehind is guilty of the same crime! Fair enough, right? β
