Chapter Seventy-Eight, Hailan's Choice
As a soldier, you have to be strong when you need to be friendly, when you need to be strong. When Hyland first meets Ping, he has already explained the difference between an "adventurer" and a "pirate". Jinbei is not a fool, he knows that this is not just a matter of two people.
But now, after offending the dragon and tiger of Huaguo, after some time of consideration, he still chose to form a "Sun Pirate Regiment". They don't bother to educate each other. What's more, Jinbei didn't get it, and he couldn't convince Tug. Now that Tiger has violated the principles of the Navy, Hyland will not be coaxed anymore. He had to convince Sangbi that the Navy would not budge on matters of principle.
Perhaps from the tiger's point of view, he became a pirate only to stop the world government from blaming Merman Island. After all, as one of the allies of the world government, pirates, in general, should also be enemies of allies. But a soldier must have faith. The only thing a soldier can't shake is his position.
When a person relinquishes his position, he ceases to be a soldier. He's just a radical.
Hailan didn't intend to give Ping a chance to continue the discussion, instead, he asked another question: "Jinbei, since the tiger has made a choice, I won't say more. What about you? Would you choose to help Tiger become a pirate? Or do you choose to stay here and protect your most precious Manani Island?
The New World has not yet formed the situation of the "Four Kingdoms", and Whitebeard has not yet announced refuge on Fisherman's Island. Although Fish-Man Island is one of the allies of the world government, due to serious racial discrimination issues, even though Fish-Man Island is in the "Holy Land" Mary ยท Below Joya, the World Government still hasn't provided shelter to Fish-Man Island. This led to a long period of unrest on the island, as well as the rise of human traffickers.
When fishermen are taken away by human traffickers, the world government essentially never deals with the issue, which further fuels the fishermen's hatred of humanity. Hyland once wondered, this may be because the world government is afraid of the legendary "Sea King", one of the three ancient weapons, so it deliberately targeted Mertanani Island? But it doesn't make sense.
Because of the royal family of Fish-Man Island, Fish-People are usually good-natured people, as long as the World Government and Fish-Man Island are good friends, how can "Sea King" Poseidon become an enemy? However, while Hyland can't understand these potential problems, he can still use the status quo to his advantage. "Jinbei, do you know the people of Hua Guolong?" Hyland said lightly.
Seeing Pingping, she nodded and said, "Yes." Unlike most of his compatriots, who have never left the island since childhood, Japin has become familiar with the world on the surface of the sea with his great strength and cool head. Jinbei is well aware of the arrogance and absolute privilege of the dragons, who are "the nobles of the world".
"What do you think about the world government's ban on fishermen living on land?" Hyland asked. This time, he was even more confused than usual, trying to explain: "We fishermen are very unpopular with humans, and have been like this for hundreds of years." Hyland smiled and shook her head: "You can say wrong. As I told you before, governments around the world are not so short-sighted. It turns out that you merfolk have absolute superiority in naval battles, but why doesn't the world government allow you to land? That's because the world government is protecting you"" protection? "Very flat one cold. That's nonsense, right? โ
Yes, protect" Hyland continued to smile and explain, "Whether it's the strength of your mermaids or the beauty of the mermaids, what should you do if the Draconians see you and want to turn you back into slaves? Fight back?
Don't be silly. Who is doing Hua Guolong in this world? When will the governments and navies of the world send special forces to drive people back underwater? As long as the fish-man and humans live in peace, the world government will not target you. I know that sounds like. But if we follow this logic, there seems to be some truth!
Who dares to mess with Hua Guolong? Even if the government of the world is the wife or daughter of the king, as long as the Tianlong people look at it, they will obediently hand it over. The price of mermaids in the slave market is so high that it is obvious. If mermaids and mermaids move to the back garden of the Thracians on the island of Florida, it will be like a sheep on a chopping board. It may sound plausible, but Jinbei doesn't have the cheekiness to say to the World Government: "So what do you want to say to me? The Great Liar" is enchanted: "Why do you think I recruited you to the Navy as an instructor? "? Why should I form a naval guerrilla force to attack slave ships near Shambodi Island? "Why?" Because our Navy is now trying to reform, trying to put you fishermen on the bigger stage of the world! "Jinbei, you know better.".
Your big brother, Tiger, has gone too far against the world government, and sooner or later he will pay with his life. I'm not asking you to reject him, convince him, or even betray him and arrest him, but I'm going to tell you that now, you have a chance to live better on Mermaid Island and not go to extremes because of feelings.
Either Tiger Island or Fish-Man Island. I'll give you three days off, and when you get back three days, Hyland turns and leaves the tavern. Lian Ping really wants to follow the big brother tiger he admires, take the tiger out to sea, and protect the people he admires. But Jinbei's primary concern is Fishman Island. He was willing to give up everything, honor, status, even his life, for the sake of the island. This man always carries a heavy load on his shoulders.
"The burden is on my shoulders... He walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and deep down, made a decision: "I'm sorry, Tiger, I can't go on a trip with you"
"I don't know which of us is the right choice, but I sincerely hope that Lady Luck will take care of your journey" The black market infighting in the Shamboldi Islands is over. Since the establishment of the Sun Pirates, the Fisher Tiger has not been seen, and now Vice Admiral "Yellow Ape" Polusalino has begun to pay attention to the Sun Pirates, and the only goal of his subordinate, Rear Admiral Stomberg, is to pursue the Sun Pirates. Don Quixote flamenco managed to return to the North Sea, where intelligence revealed that the Don Quixote family had a dispute with war expert Golma 66, and a compromise was reached. Command of the Navy.
"Have you heard? I must say that I envy all of them because they have recently joined a new and powerful group of newcomers from all over the world, and they are all as strong as monsters. I don't know what these people grew up eating, and even more powerful than the newcomers to the training department, it seems that the elite battalion of Commander-in-Chief Zefa must have their place. And this year's Beihai "Not necessarily, have you forgotten Captain Smoker and Tina?" Aren't they all from the East China Sea and the South China Sea? โ
"Didn't they all head the Navy when they were young? Strictly speaking, it should be the essence "What about Wagner?" He was born in the East China Sea and did not receive the training of the chief instructor of Zefa, so he directly became the commander of the headquarters? Brigadier General Hyland has been considered a genius in the department for the past few years, with some Marines talking to each other about interesting things in the department. When others are stronger than themselves, people often develop a sense of jealousy. When others are much better than themselves, it's basically just jealousy, because too big a gap can make people feel hopeless and discouraged. "I remember that Gerald was born in Nanhua Guohai" "Didn't he be brought here by Brigadier General Hayashi in Donghua Guohai"
"It is said that his hometown was originally Nanhua Guohai, but later he moved to Donghua Guohai" For those conscripts in the Bridge Kingdom, few people outside the upper echelons of the bureau knew where they came from. Hyland showed them respect, and they naturally reciprocated Hyland's loyalty. "But I heard that the boy came to the headquarters with a big face. He was knocked over by a little girl. "You're saying that little girl Kerra, one of the best little plants of the new generation, maybe I can't beat her, I know, but I mean, that Gerard is stupid?
If it was just a little girl, how could she challenge him? The frog at the bottom of the well, what a pity, isn't it? "Yes, if Kerla doesn't have such a lot of potential, why would General Zafa adopt her?" It is said that General Crane recently adopted a little girl, maybe it was sugar? โ๏ผ You never know, this is just another rookie in the Marine Corps, why didn't I get adopted by the big guys? Older boys raise children only because they see the potential in others, not because they have potential after adoption." After Hylan finishes dealing with the trivia of the people at sea, he finally shows up at the Black Cat Club.
When Monet discovers that the black cat calls him "God" is a marine, and that he has served in the Navy all his life, Monet almost doubts his own life. The biggest black market boss in shampoo is a navy mole? This is unacceptable! But after a brief shock, Monet got more surprises. There are a lot of corrupt people in the navy, but the navy shelters most of the civilians in this area. It's better to send your sister to the Navy headquarters than to the capricious boss.
In addition, Clow's rank rose from lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. But not just for this scene, but for the military honor he had accumulated over the years in the Chambord Islands, as if Wagner and Bucky had long surpassed the original lieutenants of Crow. Monet was also awarded the rank of second lieutenant in the Navy, becoming the fastest-growing recruit in naval history. In the residential area behind the Navy headquarters, Helen is busy preparing another draft, and she is working with Cora on the abilities of the "Fruit of Music". As for the "Jinjin Fruit" and the "Husky Fruit", they were all handed over to the ministry by Hailan. Military exploits, as always, were recorded, but what made Zelu wonder why Hylan didn't seem to care much about military ranks? If he gradually increases his strength and accumulates military merits, Hailan's military rank will be higher than it is now. But this is a step to becoming a lieutenant general, a general, a field marshal, and ultimately serving the world government, which is not the way Hyland wants.
There is a dragon riding on top of the world government, how could Hyland be willing to serve such a government? On the other hand, reform requires more than just slogans. This requires a solid foundation to be laid step by step. Wagner, Chloe, Bucky, Monnet, the soldiers of the Bridge Kingdom. These are the people of Hayashi. Regardless of the attitude of the old officers and soldiers of this department towards the world government, Hyland must have his own absolute support.
"Hyland... Hyland! Hyland!! "Huh? What's wrong? Hailan, who was thinking, was summoned back to reality by a clear and sweet voice: "Do you see that?" I've mastered the fruits of music, am I? "Just a few days ago, now it's like a different person, and her voice is as wonderful as the sounds of nature. But Hyland knows that this is not an illusion, it is the ability of the "fruit of music", just as the "sweet fruit" will make people fascinated by the chef's face, so the "fruit of music" will make people fascinated by Cora's voice.
As a modern person, through all kinds of movies, animations, games, Hyland is very aware of how terrible the effect of music on human emotions is, he used to worry that Kayla would despise the fruit of evil because of her lack of knowledge, I tried to explain the power of music in an easily understandable way, but Kayla ate the fruit and took a bite.
Kerra's face turned green almost with disgust... "Kerra, are you eating it? I haven't explained it yet, aren't you afraid that this is not for you? "No! Are you so confident? "Of course, because Helen chose it for me!"
