Section 15 Sharpness
The round table meeting of the sixteen pirate groups of the "Wings of Satan" lasted almost three hours.
In the end, no meaningful agreement was reached other than a memorandum expressing a willingness to cooperate in the establishment of Black Angel Security. As for the discussion of the most important military alliances, they are even more stagnant. With the exception of Zongda, almost all of the pirate groups said that they would have to go back and discuss with the members of the group before making a decision.
This situation was expected by Mo Cheng, and after the meeting, he set up a grand banquet and invited these leaders to eat, drink and have fun.
However, just when the other leaders were already drunk, Mo Cheng quietly left the table.
At this time, he stood up, walked up to Zongda, gave him a glass of wine, and then said, "Captain Zongda seems to be a little drunk. ”
Zongda blinked and nodded, his face suddenly showing a little drunkenness, "Yes, it is indeed drunk." ”
After saying that, Zongda stood up, "I'm going to the side hall to rest for a while, please continue to have fun." ”
As soon as Zongda walked out of the banquet hall, he saw Mo Cheng waiting for him at the door.
As soon as he saw Zongda appear, Mo Cheng strode forward, "Captain Zongda, I don't know if it's convenient to go to the side hall to say a few words to me?" ”
"The guest is as convenient as the host, what is convenient or inconvenient to talk about?" Zongda smiled and stretched out his hand towards the side hall, "Admiral, please." ”
After a short time, the two of them sat down in the side hall, and after the waiter served tea and pastries, they were all dismissed.
After all these waiters retreated, Mo Cheng looked at Zongda with a smile and asked, "Head Zongda, what is the matter I want to talk to you about, I think you should know it in your heart, right?" ”
What Mo Cheng means is that I came to you to talk to you about how to promote the formation of a military alliance between you, you should know, right?
However, what he didn't expect was that what Zong Da said as soon as he opened his mouth was, "Of course I know that Admiral Mocheng has lofty ambitions and wants to collect the pirate group of 'Satan's Wings' for his own use and form the first regular pirate army in the universe today." It's just that time is in a hurry, and it's not easy to start, so they just want me to beat the side drum. ”
Mo Cheng never thought that Zongda would speak so thoroughly at once, so that he was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Mo Cheng like this, Zong Da laughed instead, "Admiral Mo Cheng, since I can tell you so plainly, it means that I have no taboos, you don't have to be so jealous of me." ”
Mo Cheng smiled slightly awkwardly, and thought, "You dead dwarf, you are really powerful, give me a dismount at the beginning." ”
Seeing the admiral laughing so embarrassed, I thought about it and went to my heart. In that case, forget it......" Zongda said, looking like he wanted to stand up.
At this time, Mo Cheng finally couldn't help it, he smiled and sighed, "Zongda, it's okay...... Everyone is smart, so don't play this hypocrisy. ”
When Zong Da heard this, he sat down again with a smile, and put on a posture of sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils, "There is floating wealth in the world, and those who see it have a share." Let's spread it out, I'm a pirate, I don't have anything to worry about, I can do anything, just see if it's good. ”
"The benefits? What benefits do you want? Mo Cheng leaned over and asked.
"There is no doubt that one day, if the pirate legion is established, it will definitely obey the orders of the Admiral of Mocheng. However, pirates are a special group after all, especially the pirate group of the 'Wings of Satan'. Their surnames are not inferior, and ordinary military laws are probably not suitable for controlling them. In addition, although you are acting in an unpredictable manner, you have a large pirate army under your command, which may make you a warrior. Therefore, I personally believe that the best way to deal with this pirate legion is to be able to stand outside the Black Angel Army and become an auxiliary legion of the Black Angel Army. If Admiral Mead is here, then this pirate legion must be absolutely obedient to Admiral Mead, but suppose ...... Then this pirate legion will only have to obey its commander......"
When Zongda said this, he stopped, and Mo Cheng followed him, continuing what he had not finished, "And the leader of this pirate legion is your brother Zongda, isn't he?" ”
"If that's not the case, what's the point of sharing the spoils?" Zongda smiled and said.
Mo Cheng sat in place and pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked, "Head Zongda, in your opinion, do you think I will agree with you?" ”
"To tell you the truth, before I came, I did put a lot of thought into studying you as Admiral of Mocheng. But after researching and studying, I still can't find any results, and your behavior is too strange for me to guess. Speaking of this, Zongda changed his words, "Although I can't judge what the best decision for the Admiral of Mocheng is. But what I know for sure is that I am definitely risking my life by saying this to His Highness Mo Cheng now. ”
Mo Cheng smiled faintly, "Oh? Is it that serious? ”
"His Royal Highness the Admiral of Mocheng will either promise me in three minutes, or he will kill me in three minutes." Zongda said, smiling and looking around, "If my guess is correct, the Birthday Lord is somewhere in this side hall, right?" ”
On his birthday, which was hidden behind the screen in the side hall, when he heard Zongda say this, his body immediately trembled, and he thought to himself, "Why are there so many human spirits in this world?" I was bumped into it all. ”
Mo Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Zongda, an ugly-looking little man, very seriously.
And Zongda looked at the rising star in front of him who was less than twenty years old, but he was already thirty-two stars, and was about to become famous in the universe.
After looking at Zongda for a long time, Mo Cheng asked, "A character like you, succumbing to a young man so much younger than you, will you really be willing in your heart?" ”
"Unwilling." Zenda shook his head almost without hesitation.
His answer made Mo Cheng laugh.
Mo Cheng laughed because he was happy, and Zongda was telling the truth.
"But it's useless to be unwilling, I'm not as good as you." Jongda continued, "I choose the former before surrender and destruction. Since I chose the former, of course I had to ask for the best price for myself when no one else was even clear about the situation. ”
Mo Cheng said: "There are two kinds of capable subordinates, one is a crutch and the other is a sharp blade. My men are now all crutches, and Your Excellency is the blade. ”
"That's right, crutches are easy and safe, and sharp blades, while useful, are dangerous." Zongda nodded, agreeing with Mo Cheng's judgment, "However, it is impossible for a person with great ambitions like you to be the Admiral of Mo Cheng and not have a crutch without a sharp blade. ”
Mo Cheng said again: "But one day, this sharp blade of yours is likely to kill me. ”
"That's right, if there is a day, it must be a day when I don't need so much, and there are others who do it. In that case, instead of cheapening others, why not cheapen your own people? ”
The smile on Zongda's ugly face was so honest that it almost frightened the birthday peeking behind the screen.
And Mo Cheng also looked at a person's face so intently for the first time in his life.
At this moment, Mo Cheng is like an old man who is appreciating a thousand-year-old painting.
After a long time, Mo Cheng blinked slightly, "The pirate legion must accept a hundred thousand cadets from the military academy. ”
"One hundred thousand?"
Zongda was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Mo Cheng actually had so many regular military academy students hidden in his pocket. For, as far as his material is concerned, Mer City seems to have a rare prejudice against all regular officers. And now at this time, he suddenly appeared, he has 100,000 military cadets.
After being surprised, Zongda immediately returned to his surname, "Do all these 100,000 students want to be the captain?" ”
Mo Cheng did not answer Zongda directly, but asked rhetorically: "You know better than me about the situation of the 'Wings of Satan', in your opinion, after we integrate the pirate group of the entire 'Wings of Satan', how many formations can we get?" ”
Zongda thought for a moment and replied, "If only the number of fleets is judged, the fleet owned by the pirates of the 'Wings of Satan' is almost equal to the total fleet of all the admirals in the thirty-two stars. Combined, there are almost two thousand formations. However, if it is integrated and the combat effectiveness is ensured, I think there can be about 300 to 400 formations. It depends on how we develop and how strong our economy is. ”
Mo Cheng nodded, "In this case, the final size of the Pirate Legion will probably be around three hundred formations, which is basically the same as the Locust Alliance. Of these 100,000 military cadets, you probably have to set aside the position of commander of fifty formations for them, and the rest of the excess can be made by them as adjutants as preparations, how about it? ”
Zongda thought for a moment and asked, "Fifty formations?" It seems to be a little more, how about thirty formations? ”
Mo Cheng glared at Zong Da angrily, "It's really a price, fifty formations is already the minimum." If I don't have it, I won't be able to explain it to anyone else in the future. ”
"Confess? With whom? Zongda asked, pretending to be unintentional.
"Do you think it's possible for me to tell you now?" Mo Cheng looked at Zongda and asked rhetorically.
Zongda coughed and pretended not to hear anything.
"I will tell you in advance that these fifty formations will most likely break away from the formation of the pirate legion when the need arises. As for the rest, do as you say. Speaking of which, in order to prevent Zongda from talking to him again, Mo Cheng stretched out his hand and blocked his words, "There is no price to talk about." ”
Zong Da thought for a while, and nodded heavily, "Cheng, that's it." ”
"Well, in that case, then the future work of the pirates will be up to you. To help you with your work, we in the Black Angels will assign you a deputy. ”
What exactly does the so-called deputy mean, Zongda understands very well in his heart, he smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, this scabbard that President Mocheng sent me should be Lord Benz, the Judge Advocate General, right?" ”
Zongda said it very well-behaved here, obviously a matter of mutual suspicion, but he said it in a child's play, and deliberately changed the title of Mocheng from the admiral to the president. Invisibly, he changed his status from a person who was guarded against to a person of his own.
In this way, the atmosphere that should have been a little awkward suddenly became harmonious and intimate.
For Zongda's cunning, Mo Cheng is quite useful, after all, "I want to send someone to spy on you" is a little embarrassing when he says this, and Zongda can resolve it like this, it is very good.
"That's right, it seems that you did come prepared, and your research on our Black Angel Army is indeed very deep." Mo Cheng nodded with a smile and said.
Soon, Zongda continued: "Director Benz came to give me some guidance, and of course I welcome it. It's just that I don't know if the Judge Advocate General's Office is also going to enter the pirate legion system? Do members of the Pirate Legion also wear the Leader's Medal? ”
"The Leader's Medal is definitely not worn. As you said, the Pirate Legion is not directly part of the Black Angels, but is just an auxiliary legion. As for the Judge Advocate General's Office, it will only be set up at the level of the main formation, and it will only be used to collect intelligence, and will not have the power to enforce the law. As for Director Benz himself, he will be in constant contact with you, and will have his own office in the Pirate Legion, but he will not be permanently stationed there for you. ”
After Mo Cheng finished talking about his conditions, Zongda sat and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What should I do if there is a conflict between the military justice system and me over the control of the army?" ”
Mo Cheng smiled faintly and said, "If I die, then you are naturally not allowed to ask me about all this." ”
Zongda frowned, a little incomprehensible to Mo Cheng, "That's ......"
As soon as he said a word, he didn't dare to say any more, because he saw a cold light in Mo Cheng's eyes at this time.
This cold light made people shudder, like a sharp sword, and a sword slashed his original grace and generosity without a trace.
"If I hadn't died, you'd have died."
Every word of Mo Cheng was hammered into Zongda's heart like a pillar, so that he didn't dare to breathe, and only dared to hang his head respectfully, "I understand, as long as the president is alive, I, Zongda, will never dare to make a mistake." ”
At this time, Mo Cheng smiled again, "Very good, you told the truth again, it's not that you don't want to, but you don't dare." I hope your surname can always control your **. There will never be a second Kalman in my life in Memor. ”
After Mo Cheng finished speaking, he turned his face, looked out the window, and slowly let out a sigh of relief, the first step of integrating the "Wings of Satan" was considered to be over.
