CHAPTER XXXIX
(I'm sorry for the late update today~~ But because of my birthday, just forgive us~~)
"Huh? Capture Ye Yu? You're not mistaken...... Hahahaha! Takehime's unbridled laughter echoed through the conference room, and she laughed as if she had heard something ridiculous, as if she had completely ignored the already blue faces of the other councillors.
After a long wait, until she had laughed enough, she leaned back in her chair lazily, put her feet high on the table, and continued with a look of disdain:
"Speaking of which, wasn't the order to arrest him issued five years ago? However, the more than 500 elites who attacked that time all died in the Pacific Ocean, and after that, we were able to get through the initial difficulties by relying on the protection of others. And then, 5 years have passed, and now that we have to bring it up again? As I said beforehand, I wasn't going to send my child to death. ”
"Hmph, who doesn't know that Wu Ji, your friendship with that Ye Yu is irreversible, even if you want to take the initiative to join the conquest of him, we don't feel at ease......" Wu Ji and Ye Yu's friendship is well known in this governor's mansion, aside from Ye Yu's origins from her, in the past few years alone, Ye Yu has dared to rob anyone's merchant ships, only the merchant ships escorted by Wu Ji's shipwives will let go of a horse, and it is even said that when they encounter the merchant ships of Wu Ji's expedition, they will escort them for a ride...... If you want to say that the relationship is not close, they won't believe it if they are killed.
"Heh, General Li, do you think I'm going to tell the truth?" The other party's provocation made Wu Ji snort coldly, "Do you think that even if I don't tell the truth, I can beat him with just a few of your people?" I really thought it was 5 years ago, and if nothing else, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get to his town guard's mansion......"
"That's not because he colluded with the deep sea......"
"Collusion?!" Wu Ji's face was pale, and the movement that he had just played with his fingers stopped, "Dare to ask General Li, what level were his ship girls when Ye Yu left with his subordinates, and they were only about 40." And now? When I met the Richelieu the other day, she was already a full 147-class SS+-class ship. Scold...... I really don't know if the ship girl has any other ways to advance besides killing the deep sea, and how much combat exploits does this promotion of more than 100 levels require her? ”
"You're really in touch with that traitor!" Ignore the facts stated by Takehime. The general surnamed Li turned to pursue her wrong...... Well, this is actually a secret that is almost known to everyone, and with the help of people with intentions, no one in the entire Governor's Mansion knows that behind Wu Ji is the big pirate who is crisscrossing the world, but surprisingly, because of Wu Ji, her reputation has risen instead of falling...... After all, everyone knew exactly who was helping them defend themselves against foreign enemies during the period of the military vacuum......
Those civilians and ordinary admirals don't care about the filth of the upper echelons. In their eyes, Ye Yu was just a genius who was forced to leave, and in that case, he was still trying to fulfill his obligations as a commander...... What more could he be asked of in that case? As for the merchant ships that were plundered...... What does it have to do with ordinary civilians? They won't be in it, and no amount of loss will be lost on their heads.
"We've never been disconnected, but so what? Is this general trying to arrest me here......" It's not that Wu Ji underestimates him, this guy who hasn't set foot on the battlefield for more than 10 years except for a verbal fight doesn't dare to make a move anyway. If only he had the slightest guts...... Then there must be his name among the members who died in the deep sea.
"You ......"
"It's all quiet...... The memories are still in progress, so please let go of your grievances a little bit. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the old man sitting at the top finally spoke up and stopped, "Regarding Ye Yu's question, he has been able to defend the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean all these years, and his evaluation on one side is a little biased after all. ”
The so-called fifty boards each, the old man's fluttering words blocked all the two people who were still arguing just now, but judging from his words, after all, it was more towards Ye Yu, at least he still recognized Ye Yu's merits...... Although I don't know if he really thinks so, or if it's just because of the oppression of public opinion.
"It's just...... This warrant was not issued by our Pacific Parliament...... "However, a moment later, as soon as his words changed everyone's hearts, he raised his throat again...... "Just three days ago." A merchant ship from Europe via the Suez Canal to the west coast of the Americas via the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean was plundered by Ye Yu, and it is said that it was carrying an extremely important item on it, so much so that the European and American authorities issued a wanted warrant at the same time.
At the same time, because it happened on our Pacific front, they also asked us for help. ”
"What is it that makes both of them go crazy at the same time...... And after such a long detour, aren't they afraid of deep-sea attacks along the way? ”
"That's the problem...... "The old man at the top muttered, "It is said that the function of that treasure is to make the deep sea within a radius of 30 nautical miles...... As long as it is placed on the ship, it can be said that it is completely immune to the attack of the deep sea, and it is a secret treasure that was once secret...... And we only learned about it after this incident. ”
"Unexpectedly...... Is that so? "Never heard of such a thing, but now it is so...... Everyone was subconsciously silent. After all, if that thing doesn't work. How is it possible for a mere fleet to sail so far in the oceans......
"The European side will rush to our side by land, while the American side will march directly from the west coast...... That's it, let's arrange it. In any case, it happened on our Pacific front, and we can't avoid it......" as he spoke. The old man glanced at Wu Ji deeply, and the meaning was self-evident......
—————————— Dividing Line ——————————
"Admiral, Admiral, King Kong is back desu~~" With a sound of energetic Japanese English, the originally slightly calm town guard mansion was instantly occupied by a burst of chickens and dogs jumping, and the ship girls who were already familiar with this scene had no interest in waiting and watching at all, after all, since the construction of this child 3 years ago, the entire town guard mansion has become much more noisy because of this.
"King Kong, you're back from hunting? Huh! Don't just hug it! Ye Yu, who was sitting in the office, was enjoying the warm afternoon sun. Counting the children who went out to loot a few days ago, they should also come back, you must know that since announcing that they have become pirates, robbing merchant ships has become a side business of the Ye Yu family, and they rely on this method to accumulate resources in addition to fighting the deep sea.
Of course, Ye Yu will naturally not do anything to fish, so he often only sends a fleet every 2 months, and he will leave about 1/5 of the property of those hijacked ships, it can be said that he is now about to evolve into a role like a natural disaster, and whoever encounters it is unlucky.
"But the Admiral is so comfortable to pick up!" The ship's lady named King Kong hugged Ye Yu and rubbed hard for a long time before she finally left satisfied, although no one in the entire town guard mansion figured out why her own admiral had never grown up, but once she accepted such a setting, it was actually quite emotional!
"Qiang Qiang~~ Admiral, King Kong has brought you a gift back~~" As she spoke, King Kong raised her right hand high, only to see that she was holding a white kitten in her hand, looking pitiful when she looked at Ye Yu...... Apparently it was tormented by the light and heavy King Kong, "Eh, hey, do you like it~~ This is what King Kong found on that ship~~" (To be continued.) )
