Volume 2 The Fight on the Sea Chapter 169 Paving the Way for Ambition
"So, the World Government is sending you to arrest us?" Reilly Road.
"Arrest you? No kidding, if I really wanted to arrest you, I wouldn't have sent me alone. Serge replied to Reilly: "If you don't say anything, you have to add Lieutenant General Karp." ”
Who is the biggest headache for Roger's gang in the navy? Of course, it's the naval hero Karp, since the Roger Pirates went to sea, Karp has been chasing them relentlessly, although he is not afraid, but there must be a headache.
"And what is the purpose of your visit?" Reilly wondered, he didn't believe that Serre, the navy, had time to catch up with these pirates.
Since the other party asked, Searle didn't want to lie, so he spread his hands helplessly: "Investigate your whereabouts, that's all, by the way, let's take a look at what caused you to attack a country." ”
"But now we know." Serge pointed to the corpse on the shore and said, "This country is really annoying. ”
"No, that's not the reason." Roger said, "I'm just avenging my companions." ”
"Who? Red nose? Redheads? Or is he? "There is time
"Woo woo~" Bucky could only make a whining sound because he was gagged.
"It's me!" The teenager with short yellow hair took the initiative to speak.
"It's really your style, Roger, who does not hesitate to be the enemy of a country for the sake of his companions." Searle sighed.
This point Roger is the same as Luffy, for the sake of his companions, let alone a mere country, even if it is an enemy of the world?
"I already know your purpose, although I don't know what you have to do, but as long as you don't go too far, I won't care about the next thing." Serge said in a deep voice.
"Well, that's not what a righteous navy should say!" Reilly smiled: "Don't worry, we won't embarrass civilians, you know that very well, don't you?" ”
"Yes, although the positions are different, I have to say, you are all pretty good guys." Searle said: "I have already helped you solve the army of the port, but you have thought about it, no matter what the outcome is, the crime of destroying the country will definitely fall on your heads." ”
"Haha, are there still fewer crimes? Don't forget we're pirates. Roger laughed, "If you can, get rid of Bucky's face first." ”
"No problem." With a wave of his hand, all the Force dispersed.
Losing his restraints, Bucky immediately ducked behind Roger and stared at Ser in fear.
"Don't be careless, maybe it's just my ploy to catch you here." Searle suddenly said with a bad taste.
"Ah~ Captain, this navy really doesn't have a good heart, or let's leave!" When Bucky heard this, he was shocked.
"Haha, if you want to fight, then come!" Roger smiled and pulled out his sword and pointed it at Searle.
"Of course. Just kidding, I'll see you later. With that, Searle spread his wings and left the Golden Jackson.
After Searle left, the red-haired boy asked, "Captain Roger, is this really okay?" The other side is the navy. ”
Roger retracted the knife from the scabbard, looked meaningfully in the direction of Searle's departure and said, "Don't worry, if this guy really wants to deal with us, he will never use these methods." ”
"It's not smart to trust the enemy." Barrett said with a cold and arrogant face.
"Ahh Aren't there still reliable companions of yours? Roger laughed.
"Captain, you're really... I'm embarrassed to say it. ”
"Oh, Captain, it's so nice that you keep saying things like that."
The crew members were all dancing happily, like a group of 200-pound mentally retarded.
As soon as the Golden Jackson docked, Roger and his gang went directly to the center of the country where the war was endless, and Barrett, who had been a part of this country, naturally knew the path of his homeland, and they went directly around the crowded place and quietly infiltrated the palace.
At this time, the king was having a banquet with the ministers and nobles in the palace, wandering in drunken dreams and death, but he did not know that the disaster was only one step away from him.
Perhaps they thought that with the help of the navy, it would be easy to drive away a group of daring pirates, and nothing would go wrong at all.
The king took it for granted, in fact, even if there was really a navy to help them, unless the high-level combat forces of the navy gathered together, it would be almost impossible to defeat the Roger Pirates in a short period of time.
"Boom~"
The walls of the palace collapsed in an instant, and in a hurry, the nobles would only shout and create chaos.
"Who are you? How dare you attack the royal palace!! The king climbed onto his throne, drew a musket from his side, and pointed it at the leader Roger with trepidation.
"Hammer~" The answer to him was a simple slash, and the musket in the king's hand was instantly broken in two.
"Guys who are driven by lust will eventually be consumed by lust, and bastards like you don't deserve to be kings." Roger stepped forward and kicked the king over, and the latter lost consciousness with a blank eye, and Roger's attack was not something a pot-bellied man like him could withstand.
"Hurry up and come on.,This.。。 How dare these untouchables hurt the king! Minister Zuo ran out of the palace in a panic and shouted loudly, in a vain attempt to attract the king's army.
Roger and his gang didn't stop him, after all, it was better for the army to be concentrated than to go for them one by one.
The so-called national war lasted only one night, and the top of the country was annihilated by the Roger Pirates.
After the war, the Roger Pirates kept their promise and did not harm any civilians, but their murderous behavior still terrified the civilians.
"This is the end of your wicked deeds!! As promised in advance, Searle suddenly appeared in the country with the navy.
"It's the Navy! The Navy has come to our rescue. ”
"Great, the navy is coming, these vicious people are dead."
As soon as the navy appeared, the civilians immediately cheered, and their previous fears were swept away, believing that with the navy here, this group of pirates would definitely not be able to harm them.
"Hold your hands tied, thugs!" Serge shouted righteously, winking at Roger without leaving a trace.
"Run!" With a wave of Roger's comprehension, the Roger Pirates quickly fled in the opposite direction.
Naturally, the acting had to be played in full, and Searle pretended to order the soldiers to pursue, and casually fired two shots to make it more realistic.
After Roger and his gang boarded the ship, the warship also followed closely and chased them all the way away.
The Golden Jackson was much faster than a normal warship, and Searle gave up the pursuit for this reason.
As it is said in the TV series, justice always appears at the "most critical" time, and Serge watched the whole process of Roger's Pirates destroying the King's army.
It wasn't until the end of the battle that Searle led the navy late, and since he had long planned to let Roger carry the black pot, he deliberately "appeared in time", which could not only avoid suspicion but also win people's hearts.
If the king is the kind of person who wins the hearts of the people, the commoners will naturally see some clues, but the reality is that the commoners want the king to step down as soon as possible, and they expect the navy to protect them.
After returning, to the cheers of the civilians, Searle cheekily shouted that justice will win, this is a good opportunity to increase the prestige of the navy, even if Searle is not happy, he has to do it.
With the loss of the king and his army, the whole country is in chaos, and it is natural that someone in the way will come and take charge of the situation.
The navy brought by Searle also played this role, and with the help of the navy, the original country of endless war entered a temporary period of lull.
However, this is only temporary, and if you want to be stable for a long time, the first thing you need to do is to choose someone who can take on the important role of king, and this person must be supported by the people.
Searle is only responsible for driving out the pirates and protecting the civilians, and the election and even the subsequent arrangements are not up to him.
Everything is going according to Searle's plan, and the next thing to do is to inform the government that if the war goes on and on turns into a stable, peace-yearning country, the government will naturally have no reason to refuse the new kingdom to join.
After disposing of the bodies of the king, the dead nobles, and the army, Serge opened the treasury of the palace and counted the finances of the former war-ending country.
After years of endless expansion and aggression, the king amassed a wealth far greater than Searle had expected, and half of the warehouse was filled with gold alone.
Searle distributed two-thirds of the treasure to the people, and as for the last third, Searle intended to give them as a tribute to the government and even to the Celestial Dragons~~ Heavenly gold, which is taken from the people and the people, and the heavenly gold as a vote to the government, with the government's greed, will definitely not refuse the tempting condition of rejoining.
"Brubru~"
"This is the headquarters of the Navy!"
"I'm Serge, please help me transfer to Marshal Air."
"Wait a minute."
"Have you tracked down the whereabouts of the Roger Pirates?" Steelbones asked straight to the point.
"Found it, they are in the country of endless wars." Serge pretended to be serious.
"What? Why do they go to that kind of place? ”
"It's not very clear, when we arrived, the Roger Pirates had already slaughtered the upper echelons of the Endless War Country." Serge said half-truthfully: "Because it was only an investigation, not enough troops were sent, and they ran away after a firefight." ”
The other side of the phone bug was silent for a moment, and then ordered: "I know, you continue to follow Roger and his gang, and you can ask the headquarters for help if necessary, the historical text is very important, and I don't need to repeat this for you." ”
"Resolutely complete the task!"
"If nothing else, so be it."
"Wait, there's one more thing." Searle hurriedly spoke: "The ruling class of the country where the war is endless has been killed by Roger and his gang, and the country is in chaos at the moment, and I need the help of the government department. ”
"Oh? How can I help you? ”
"It would be great if I could talk to the five old stars directly." Searle spoke his mind.
"Do you want to..." The steel bone said the first half of the sentence meaningfully, and even if they didn't say the rest of the sentence, the two of them knew it.
"Yes, I was going to do that." Serge said seriously.
"Whew~" Steel Bone Kong let out a sigh of relief, and then said in a slightly relieved tone: "Very good, you have really grown a lot in the past few years, and I will help you transfer to the five old stars." ”
"Then thank you, Marshal, you know, this matter is very important to me." Searle said sincerely.
After waiting for a long time, a strange voice finally came from the other side of the phone bug.
"Lieutenant General Serge." The unique majestic voice is relayed through the telephone bug, this kind of majesty is not something that ordinary people can imitate, and it must be done by people who have been in a high position all year round.
"It's me, the honorable Lord Five Stars." Serge said in a respectful tone.
"You're good, Eric's grandson, the famous G1 Iron Wall." It was not the majestic voice just now that spoke, but a relatively peaceful whisper, as if the old man next door was speaking, not at all like the kind of decision-maker in a high position.
"You're not very famous, you're just doing your own thing for justice," Searle instantly turned into a licking dog, and his tone was respectful as if his grandson was talking to his grandfather.
Serge has never been an old-fashioned person, as long as he can achieve his goal, a moment of groveling is nothing, even if the opposite side will be a strong enemy he will face in the future.
The fifth old star said in a calm tone: "The government knows everything, and besides, your reputation is not small." ”
"Okay, don't say polite words, let's talk about your purpose first." A majestic voice suddenly interjected.
"Here's the thing, when I was tracking down the Roger Pirates... Searle spoke out the words he had thought out beforehand.
"You're saying that now that the war is endless, the country wants to join the World Government member states?" The majestic Five Old Stars said, "I think that's what you mean." ”
"That's right, after all, a war-torn country needs protection, and the best way to get protection is to join the world government, both for the government and for the people of that country, and I have no shirk responsibility." Searle deliberately flattered the government, mainly to make a good impression on the five old stars.
"Very well, you are a very good young man." Even the majestic old man couldn't help but praise him when he heard Searle's words.
"We'll send government officials to take care of this as soon as possible, so you can stay there just in case." A hoarse voice came, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that this was already the third person among the five old stars.
"Gladly."
"Oh yes, is the country ready for enough heavenly gold?" The phone bug's expression changed to an image, and the corresponding voice became a little muffled, this is already the fourth five old stars who have spoken to Searle.
"Heavenly Gold has already been prepared, you just need to send agents to deliver it." Serge said respectfully.
"Quite a good young man, I hope you can continue to share the worries of the government in the future, and we will not treat the capable and loyal people badly." The benevolent Five Old Star Path.
This is the third time that the five old stars have praised Searle, and at the same time, this sentence is what Searle wants to hear, and everything that happened today was planned by Searle.
He wanted a pedal, a pedal that would allow him to rise to the top and succeed him as a general.
What does the general need? The first is strength, if you don't have enough strength, even if you are promoted to a general, it is just a silver spear wax head, once you fight against those top powerhouses, the outcome is self-evident.
If you don't have enough qualifications and the identity of knowing the roots, it can be said that even if your strength is enough, the general will still have nothing to do with you, of course, the later world conscription is not counted.
Third, but also the most important, is merit and support for the government.
In terms of strength, Selda has had general-level combat power since a few years ago, and it has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, and there is a faint trend of reaching the top. In terms of qualifications and identity, Searle, as a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, has barely reached the passing line in terms of qualifications, and in terms of identity, his grandfather is a vice admiral of the older generation, and he can be regarded as a well-established and impeccable.
Finally, there is no shortage of credit for credit and support for the government, and the credit accumulated in the past ten years is enough to make the vast majority of generals ashamed.
The only thing missing is the government's support, and this new country joining event is just the introduction that can get Searle and the government decision-makers to catch up.
It is enough to leave a good impression on the five old stars, I believe that after a few years, the position of general will go to Serge.
After hanging up the phone bug, Selhelm suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"The first step of the ideal has finally been taken." Searle muttered to himself with the corners of his mouth raised.
To this day, Pantesi's appeal is still vivid, in the past, Serre did not have enough strength, not enough status, and there were only a handful of things that could be done, but now it is different, he has reached the level that no one dares to underestimate.
As Searle expected, early the next morning, the government sent Ryder officials to the country.
The person who came was a middle-aged man in a black dress, with an elegant temperament, and he walked with an aura that was difficult for ordinary people to compare.
"You're Lieutenant General Serre, aren't you?" The man's tone was very respectful when he saw Serge.
"It's me, you're it?" Searle pretended not to know, and asked pretending not to know.
"I am a member of the CPO, an official sent by the Five Old Stars to take over the country of endless wars."
"It's been a hard journey, please come with me." Searle took the CP0 agent to the ruined palace and handed him the Heavenly Gold in countless large chests.
"In the future, this country will be entrusted to you." Serge said solemnly.
"Hahaha, rightfully so, rightfully so, Lieutenant General Serge has a bright future, Lord Five Old Stars values you very much." Agent said.
"It's really flattering, to be remembered by the five old stars, this is a great encouragement for me." Serge said the words that almost made him vomit, but it was another thing for them to fall into the ears of the officials.
After all, everyone likes to hear good words, doesn't they? Especially those who are in high positions, what they enjoy most is the flattery of others.
At the end of the day, it's all because of rights, and Searle himself doesn't value them that much, but it's hard to do something without rights.
After a few polite words, Serge quietly embarked on the return journey.
