Chapter 526: A wave of unevenness rises again and again
Bang!
The closed dock door was suddenly slammed open, and the loud bang of the door caused Lud-Melkin and others to subconsciously look back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the same time, a black bomb was thrown in from outside the door and exploded in mid-air, sending out a large amount of glitter dust that enveloped the sailors.
Lud-Melkin and the others were caught off guard, and their eyes were stabbed by this strong light, and they burst into tears, and they immediately panicked.
Victoria dressed in a military uniform, led the "Pearl Knights" of the Coast Guard to break into the dockyard, surrounded all the seamen, and shouted angrily.
"Lay down your arms!"
"Squat! Squat down for me! ”
"Keep your hands behind your head and don't move!"
Someone barely opened his red and swollen eyes, realized that something was wrong, tried to turn around and escape, and ran into Viktoria head-on, but was kicked back by the "Pearl Knight", whose figure was inversely proportional to his temper, and with a casual swing of the sheathed heavy sword in his hand, he shattered the front teeth of the rebel, and a mouthful of blood and broken teeth spurted up to the sky.
Having cleanly suppressed Lud-Melkin's party, Victoria walked up to the airship with her sword and looked up at Sukhoi.
"Master, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thanks to this young man who arrived in time to stop the mob, otherwise my 'Aurora' would have suffered." The old man patted Roland on the shoulder gratefully.
Victoria turned her head to look at Roland, and showed a light smile on her pretty face: "You guy is a little good, no matter what happens, you run faster than anyone else, and you can join in the fun everywhere!" ”
Roland helped Sukhoi walk down the gangway, shook hands with Lori Knight, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, just did a little work, what are you going to do with these seafarers?" ”
"Of course, it will be dealt with according to law!" Victoria turned to face the group of sailors who had been controlled, and said slowly, "I know that you have come to make trouble because you have been tricked by the conspirators, thinking that the airship will rob you of your work on the ship?" ”
"Let's not talk about how stupid your short-sighted ideas are, even if the airship industry is developing rapidly, and it really poses a threat to the maritime market in 20 years, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble after losing your job." Victoria raised her "Pearl Sword" and pointed in the direction of Geert's Palace, and announced to everyone: "Just this morning, our lord, Lady Lyubov Yanbo, has submitted a new bill called the 'Seamen's Social Security Fund' to the Council of Thirty-Three, if the bill is passed, all honest seafarers will receive a generous pension in the future to live out their old age, what do you have to worry about!" ”
"What you say is true?" Lud-Melkin's eyes widened with surprise and disbelief: "Your Highness Victoria, you're not joking with us, are you?" ”
Victoria raised her hand to the sky, and her pretty face was solemn: "Avatar is above!" I swear to Sesila of the Deep Sea that everything I say is true! ”
There was an uproar in the dockyard, and the sailors cheered in unison.
Victoria tilted her head to look at the overjoyed group of men, a tuckle tugging at the corners of her lips.
"Happy, huh? Don't forget to report to the Sheriff's Office, you're going to pay the price for these stupid atrocities today, either pay a fine according to the law or enjoy a week's imprisonment, and now fuck me off! ”
With a wave of her hand, the Pearl Knights escorted the sailors out of the dock and to the Sheriff's Office for interrogation.
"Vita, the Social Security bill has passed in Parliament?" Roland asked.
"It's not that easy, the major shareholders of the shipping companies are the big men in the family, and it is not easy for Liuba to convince them." Victoria sighed, "What's more, the most difficult issue today is not the social security bill, but how to deal with the threat from the Giant Demon Island, Lyuba tried to persuade the leaders of the major industrial, commercial and financial institutions of the city-state to support her to fight against the Giant Demon Island, some people will pay people, and those who have money will pay, but you also know that Baigull Harbor is a republican city-state, and Liuba's power is not as supreme as Beowulf in Kitland City, if she does not have the support of the bigwigs from all sides, it will be difficult for her to fight against the pirates alone, Not to mention that there are conspirators dragging their feet behind their backs, planning to take advantage of this crisis to oust Liuba and replace it with a puppet who bows to the major guilds to manage the city-state. ”
Roland shares her concerns: "Sometimes it's harder for Ann to be for Ann than for Outside, and some compromises have to be made. ”
"The trouble is here, the representatives of the major guilds are jealous of the huge investment of the Yangbo family in the airship company, claiming that it is not wise to invest a large amount of financial budget in a bottomless pit with uncertain prospects, especially in the current situation of piracy, and it is more important to invest limited financial resources in army building, racing against time to arm the fleet, recruit mercenaries, and expand the armament ......and warfare," Victoria looked complicated, "Frankly, I think this initiative is not unreasonable. ”
"Your Highness Victoria, allow me to interject," Sukhoi raised his eyebrows in a hurry, "Now that the airship development is at the most critical stage, I only need to invest another amount of money, and I promise to send the 'Dawn' to the sky within three days, and give me another week...... In a maximum of ten days, the 200-ton Dawn can also be successfully rolled off the assembly line and lifted off, if the investment is cut off now, all the efforts we have put in before will not be in vain! This is absolutely not possible! ”
"You listened to me Master Sukhoi, it's not that I'm giving up on airship development, it's just temporarily suspended, and we will continue when we repel the pirates and the situation settles down—"
"Then it's too late!" Sukhoi interrupted Viktoria excitedly, "I have repeatedly stressed to you that airships are a new strategic weapon, their value is far more than warships, not to mention mercenaries, you can invest money in airships, you can get the support of 'Dawn' and 'Dawn' in the war against pirates, with these two air combat platforms can provide the Knights of the Giant Eagle with a mothership of endurance, and form an air force with an overwhelming advantage over pirates, as long as we can occupy the airspace, both reconnaissance and air raids will become more efficient!" If you take this money and get three gunboats or a bunch of sinister mercenaries at most, which are far less useful on the battlefield than two airships, your Highness, you can't do that stupid thing of losing watermelons and picking sesame seeds! The old man was so anxious that he stomped his foot.
Victoria was also at a loss, her hands spread out with a helpless face: "Master Sukhoi, I completely agree with your idea, but I don't count if I say it!" I'm just the head of the Coast Guard, I don't have the power to decide on financial allocations, and I don't have a seat on the city-state council, I don't even have a chance to speak for you, what do you want me to do!
