Chapter 351: News
"Goa...... Draconian? And that little imp ......" Ziggy lay on the board of the boat, looking at the newspaper he had just gotten from the newsbird.
News of the Great Passages, especially the New World Section, is generally not disseminated to the world, and this is an unspoken rule that the old bird of the World Economic Society does not dare to overstep - unless it is something too big for Morgans to dare to defy all rules.
Similarly, between the four seas, from the four seas to the Great Channel, the news is not very convenient, after all, it is so far away, for nine out of nine people, it is equivalent to another world, and the vast majority of news is no longer newsworthy.
However, the restrictions are not so strict......
The largest country in the East China Sea has experienced a seemingly man-made devastating disaster, and this kind of blockbuster news has been reported in the New World.
In the Kingdom of Goya, the indeterminate terminal fire, and the inhabitants of the border towns and uncertain terminal who cannot be counted died in the fire.
Although the World Economic News Agency did not report the reason for this directly, it was written in the next edition that there were Draconians who would soon visit the Kingdom of Goa, making the truth behind the fire somewhat obvious.
Of course, Ziggy also knows another, more fundamental reason......
On the surface, the Goya Kingdom seems to be burning the "garbage" in order to "clean up the city" and show the excellent side of the most beautiful East China Sea country, but in fact, Ziggy understands that this may be a continuation of the Goya crisis three years ago!
At that time, the Grand Duke of An'er wanted to fight for the rights of the border people, and the source of the coup d'état was at the terminal of uncertainties.
However, because An'er, including Shanks, who assisted him, naively believed King Peter, and An'er's wife was also "rebelled", the Goya royal family finally completed the beheading operation without blood!
In the previous two years, the king of Goya did not immediately pursue the matter in order to divide and suppress the rebellion, and after the wife of the Grand Duke of An'er was also executed, his son was arranged for adoption by the great nobleman Otluk.
Now two years have passed, and the time has come to settle accounts after the autumn......
At that time, when he was on Dawn Island, Ziggy hated the redhead's innocence, so he didn't get involved in it.
I only "heard" about the result, but now Ziggy recalls it - that little ghost, is it called Steley?
That's a coincidence!
If it had not been affected by the butterfly effect, Sabo, the biological son of Otluk III and who has never been regarded as a good heir, may have "died" under the shelling by now.
Of course, Saab actually had amnesia in the original and was rescued by the Revolutionary Army.
That is, An'er's biological son, who is now the sole heir of the Otluk family......
And in the original work, the "luck" of the chosen son of Steley all the way, first married the princess of Goa, and then the inexplicable king and prince of Goya all died violently and successfully became the king.
It's just a pity that since he was a child, Sterley received an orthodox Gothian aristocratic education, and did not inherit the ideas of his biological father, Grand Duke An'er.
Shanks naturally didn't expect what would happen so long later, but just the news of the "Goa Fire" was enough for him to reflect......
In addition, Goya's news, although it is on the front page, is not what Ziggy cares about the most at the moment.
After all, the East China Sea is on the other side of the planet, and Zigg can't do anything, more of a "landmark event" with this, which makes Zige speculate that the core members of the Revolutionary Army should also be in the East China Sea now - after all, in the original work, it was Dorag, the Shemale King, the Big Bear and others who saved the amnesiac Sabo.
The news that is more closely related to Ziggy and that will affect the next step is another news that appeared in the newspaper two days ago about the World Government's increase in the amount of "heavenly gold" to the New World member states.
The so-called heavenly gold, that is, the "protection fee" paid by the member countries to the world government, is also the basis for the world government to exploit the world and strengthen itself.
For the growth of this wave of "heavenly gold", Ziggy can probably guess the reason - the world government is really bad!
According to Zigger's analysis of the situation in the new world, the military forces of the world government have almost completely withdrawn from the new world, that is, it is a matter of two or three years......
Ten years after the original work, there is only one naval branch led by a straggler, still an undercover leader of Doflamingo, still stationed in the New World, until Akainu becomes the Admiral, and there is no strategic intention to return to the New World.
In other words, in the new world, the naval branch will be massively dismantled.
And after that, whether the world government wants to or not, the "heavenly gold" of the new world member countries will be greatly reduced - the nominal amount of "heavenly gold" is also clearly listed, of which "maritime force support" is undoubtedly a big item!
There is not even a naval branch in the vicinity, so naturally this expenditure will not be recognized by various countries, and there is no military coercion, and the world government will not force too much, and will take advantage of the situation to cut off this "heavenly gold" collection.
From this point of view, the reason why the purpose of "price increase" is very inferior.
Nominally, there has been an increase in all aspects, but it has not increased in the "support of maritime force", so that when the navy is withdrawn in two years, after the cancellation of this item of heavenly gold, a certain share of the collection can be guaranteed......
As for whether any country will withdraw from the alliance in a fit of rage?
If you want to retreat anyway, it's better to just reap the last one - not to mention that the world government doesn't want to retreat!
It's just that in this way, the past two years have had to suffer some New World countries that are already financially tight......
For example, Ziggy's next destination - Dressrosa!
In the original work, it was almost next year, and Doflamingo would usurp the reign of Dressrosa, and at that time, King Riku could not even take out a "measant" 10 billion.
Of course, now it seems that this is also likely to be the result of the world government's tax hike, which caused Dressrosa's treasury to have no inventory.
But now Doflamingo had been treated to death by Ziggy half a year ago - nominally by Kaido's pursuit.
The crisis in Dressrosa has been resolved before it has even erupted.
Judging from the current situation in the New World, Dressrosa is considered the sphere of influence of the World Government in the New World, and there are no pirates involved......
This is obviously one of the reasons why Doflamingo's plan in the original work went well!
If Dressrosa was the territory of the pirate overlord, even if it was not the core territory, for the sake of face, they would not look at Doflamingo, the Seven Martial Seas, presumptuous.
However, the World Government was supposed to throw off the burden in the New World, and Dressrosa did not have a pirate overlord in his hands.
Ziggy judged that the New World Region, which is now controlled by the World Government, will be the focus of war and chaos and the place where the new Sea Emperors will set sail.
At the same time, Ziggy regretted that there was no news of Shanks in the newspapers, but at least there was no bad news, and he even saw an "old friend" developed......
Not long ago, another Seven Martial Seas was killed by a new pirate who suddenly emerged, and he was a lone pirate.
Even Morgans was "secretive" about the identity of the Nova pirate, only drawing a long knife and a crescent moon beard in the accompanying picture on the side, and vaguely mentioning that his mother had gone to sea with a well-known pirate - almost wrote the seven big characters of "Whitebeard's illegitimate son" on the title!
Of course, Whitebeard's family affairs have nothing to do with Ziggy.
Ziggy mainly noticed that after that, the new Seven Martial Seas were awarded to his old friend, Tezzolo.
