318. Meetings
When Barreirus reappeared, all eyes were on him.
Full of frenzy!
Barreirus grinned: "The terms are negotiated, five billion Baileys, everyone can get more, and from now on, all of you will be a real rich man!" ”
"Roar! That's great! ”
"Long live Lord Barrerus!"
"Rich, we got rich, five billion Baileys!"
The crowd went crazy, this is a number they never thought of, after all, it is just a Devil Fruit, hundreds of millions of Baileys are normal, and those who have a billion Baileys are basically the top, and they have never heard that a Devil Fruit can buy 5 billion.
It's not that it's not worth the number, but usually people who have the money to buy this thing will consider whether they need it, and some want it, but they can't afford it in terms of price.
On top of that, they can get more.
Barreirus raised his hand and pressed it down twice, his frenzy suppressed: "The money hasn't arrived yet, and it's not too late to have a carnival when it's actually in hand." We still have something to deal with next, and it may be more dangerous than the previous ones, because this time we are not facing ordinary people, but the CP agency, the spy organization of the world government, and our old friends in the navy.
You all know their danger, although I have restricted the people who come to trade, but we must also take the necessary precautions, we know very well what we have done before, the world government, CP agencies and the navy, are not credible, I believe that if the conditions are right, they will definitely kill us without hesitation, not only can we save five billion Baileys, but it is also a great credit to solve us. ”
Five billion Baileys would not be looked at by the World Government at all, even ten times more than a hundred times, but that Devil Fruit, Barreurus could feel that the Five Old Stars seemed to want it.
Therefore, Barreirus guessed that there should be a big man who had some incurable illness and needed to use this devil fruit, as for what kind of big man, the person who could make the five old stars nervous, must be the real power among the Celestial Dragons.
Barreirus can only think of these things for the time being, but since the other party needs this fruit, as long as certain measures are taken, the danger will not be great. After all, he could completely burn the jade and eat the fruit directly, so that even the five old stars would be blind.
"Captain, what are we going to do next?" Five billion Baileys are in front of them, they can't give up, they have to find a way to complete the deal no matter what, at this time, no one can stand in front of them.
"I say it now, I want everyone to think about how to move safely."
Many people followed the noise and talked about their opinions.
From the vision of the future life just now, to how to make a deal with the world government. Soon, a sound plan was discussed.
First of all, the place of trading cannot be a place with a lot of people. If the deal is completed and CP and Navy leave with the Devil Fruit, casually revealing that they have five billion Baileys, they don't have to do it themselves, and there will be countless pirates and outlaws who want to kill them one after another.
The sale price of an adult slave is usually 500,000 baileys, and the value of five billion is simply immeasurable.
Secondly, the place of the transaction must be for them to find a suitable and easy place to escape, and when the transaction is completed, they can leave calmly, otherwise the other party will regret it, and when they want to solve them, they can't even escape, which is stupid.
In the end, the person who trades must not be a powerful master, this is the most difficult to determine, but they have not been in vain in the navy for so many years, and they can easily distinguish between the navy and the CP.
As long as such conditions are met, the risk they are taking is perfectly acceptable.
"Is there a suitable location?"
"Lord Barrerus, do you remember that we were once on an island? The temperature there is much cooler than here, and the surrounding sea is also complicated, and in addition to the correct path, there is a relatively hidden shipping channel, and this hidden shipping channel, we have not reported it, and most importantly, the island has been abandoned. ”
"You mean, Mignon Island? Get the charts out! Barrerus's eyes lit up.
With Barrelus's words, several charts were spread out in the open space, as a navy, they had far more chart resources than pirates, and one of the charts happened to be the island of Mignon just mentioned.
Barreirus carefully examined the information recorded on the chart, and slapped it with the last slap: "It's here!" Although it is a little farther, the island met our criteria perfectly, and Mignon is no longer inhabited and it will be convenient for us to hide away. One more day and then we'll be on our way to Mignon Island! ”
……
……
Marin Vando.
A spacious and bright conference room was full of people, more than a dozen tall figures sat on chairs, and among them there was even a giant, and most importantly, none of these people had the rank of lieutenant general or below.
Sitting in the first place was naturally the Admiral Sora, followed by the Admiral Sengoku, next to Lieutenant Admiral Karp and the Chief of Staff Tsuru, as well as the Admiral Alternate Yellow Ape, Kuzan also attended today's meeting, in addition, there are some senior lieutenant generals who are about to retire.
Obviously, this was a high-level meeting in the Navy.
Not only that, but on the walls of the conference room, there are many screens, and the figures on the screens are some high-level executives who are unable to come to the headquarters to participate in the meeting.
This includes Sakaski, and naturally there is also the general alternate Allen who is far away in the North Sea.
These people, whether they are empty or others, seem to have more serious faces, and of course some have other expressions, such as Allen.
His handsome face, which stood out among the male vice admirals of the navy, was full of mockery, and his voice echoed clearly in the conference room through the phone bug: "The five old stars are really powerful, these old things who should have abdicated a long time ago and let Xian have nothing else in their minds, but all kinds of tricks and conspiracies are endless, sometimes I am really curious, it is a miracle that the world government led by such a person has not been dissolved." ”
Boom! Boom!
Sora knocked on the conference table twice and said very seriously: "Alan, pay attention to your attitude, don't talk nonsense." ”
Allen didn't give the air the face of the admiral at all, and sneered: "Marshal Kong, do you think I'm wrong?" My attitude, heh, is that I'm still in the North Sea, and if I were in Maryjoy, maybe I'd do it to those five old things. The Navy has worked so hard to maintain the stability of the whole world, and instead of saying that they fully support us, they are now pulling us back. No, it's not called pulling back legs, it's a knife in the back.
Cut military spending by 20%? Thanks to these high-ranking old men, they can also say that they have 20% of the military spending! After the reduction, will the Navy want to halve everyone's salary incentives? Oh, and there's no need to halve, after all, there's a disarmament move to follow. I've worked hard to be a target all the time, just to attract more talents to join the navy, but now it's good, some of these people haven't been trained yet, and they are driven away with a click.
What are they going to do next? I remember, they also engaged in a bullshit king under the Seven Martial Seas system, and the pirates were governed without a navy, but Zhao'an some pirates to deal with the pirates, even if they gave the other party so much power, do they want to deal with pirates or do they want to deal with the navy?! ”
The conference room was quiet and oppressive, only Alan's own voice echoed, but everyone's faces were not good-looking.
No one knew that such a situation would happen at today's meeting, which is simply outrageous.
"Allen, the five old stars made such a decision with their considerations." Warring States pushed his glasses and spoke, he didn't want Alan to continue, after all, the content of today's meeting would definitely not be hidden from the five old stars, and Alan was going to offend them to death.
"Green Sword Fairy"
Alan said indifferently: "They have a fart of their own considerations, don't they think I'm a thorn, sometimes don't listen to them, plus I have some leading role, so that many people in the navy don't have a good impression of those Draco trash because of me." ”
"Alan!" Sora directly interrupted Allen's speech, and when this kind of thing is said, it is really a heart-wrenching word, "The order has been issued, and it is useless to complain." What we need to discuss now is not this, but how to get soldiers out of the army in an orderly manner, and how to reduce military spending, where we can reduce spending to minimize the impact. ”
As a marshal of the Navy, especially Kong, who is about to rise to the level of commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, is actually worse than Allen.
Needless to say, once the order is given, there will definitely be many people in the navy who will curse him as the marshal, which is something that can be thought of with their feet.
Not to mention a series of things that have been caused by this.
The decrease in the navy will inevitably lead to an increase in pirates, and the increase in pirates will make the navy busier, and it will also increase the casualties of the navy, and the increase in casualties will lead to an increase in pensions, but the military spending has been reduced by two percent, and the money will not be able to come out so much at that time.
The casualty rate of the navy will increase at an accelerated rate, the casualty rate will increase will lead to a decrease in combat power, and the decrease in combat power will cause the situation to get out of control, and the situation will make the pirates more out of control. In this way, the power of the navy will become weaker and weaker, and many navies at the bottom will be separated from the top, thus forming a bad circle.
It's just that these things, the five old stars completely turned a blind eye, but instead re-mentioned the system of the Seven Martial Seas under the king, whether the Seven Martial Seas under the king restricts pirates or restricts the navy?
These things, the one sitting there is not someone who has experienced countless battles, and basically can think of them when they think about it, so everyone's faces are ugly, even Kuzan, who looks lazy and lazy.
Alan spread his hands: "Okay, it's really useless to complain, it's a blessing for the world that we can have a leader like the Five Old Stars." Stepping on the horse, Lao Tzu worked hard to wipe their butts, but I didn't expect them to give me a hard stab in the back. It's really fucked, okay, okay, I won't talk about it, how you like to have meetings, I'm going to continue to busy my business, and the ghosts of these people are not gone. ”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, and his figure immediately disappeared from the screen, and the original screen went black.
After this, Karp also stood up directly, turned around and walked out: "You guys have a meeting, and I will be notified of the results." ”
Zizi~~
On the screen, Sakasky was the most crisp, he didn't even say a word, and directly cut off the picture.
After that, Kuzan also stood up, shook his head, and walked out.
The others didn't move, and Polusalino even crossed his legs, seemingly casually trimming his nails. The air became more dreary, and the people who left the room and opened it did not seem to be able to bring clean air. Of course, no one made a noise to stop the people who left, and they didn't even want to stay in the conference room if it wasn't their duty.
Obviously, the behavior of the five old stars this time made the entire navy's top brass very disappointed and disgusted.
Because this is to make it clear that you want to limit the power of the navy, the five old stars almost did not make it clear that the strength of your navy is too large and needs to be reduced.
……
……
North Sea.
He wasn't the only one where Alan was, Smoker and Bucky were also here.
Naturally, they knew the content of the meeting as well.
Smoker, who was originally in charge of taking minutes of the meeting, looked at Alan and stopped talking, except for Bucky, who was a little indifferent, and the other two colonels also had ugly faces.
This kind of thing would be like this for anyone, it's like you take people out there to work hard for the company, make the company bigger and stronger, and the company says, you have too many people, you need to lay off employees. The original salary was also too high, and the salary had to be reduced.
If it were not for the fact that the Navy itself was a military institution, such a situation would be enough to cause great unrest.
"Lieutenant General." Smoker couldn't hold back after all, "What are the five old stars doing?" Don't they know that there are still many pirates active, and at this time, if the power of the navy is weakened, the world will become more chaotic. ”
Alan has returned to his normal appearance, and he is angry with people like the five old stars, and in the end he is still angry, and he is still unhappy, there is no need at all.
"What does it have to do with them whether the world is chaotic or not? Do you think the world government is a charity? That is a tool to maintain the rule of the Celestial Dragons, as long as the Celestial Dragons are better. It's not that you don't know why so many people in this world have become pirates, isn't it because of the existence of the Celestial Dragons? The more people like me, the worse it is, because no one knows how many people's attitudes towards the Draconians will be influenced by me, and most importantly, I have the power to fight against the Draconians, and that's the key. Alan said lightly, "You can understand their behavior from the perspective of the power struggle. If you stand in the perspective of normal people, of course they are brain-dead, and they are all old wastes with brains in water. ”
Waving his hand, he said again: "Forget it, since this matter has been decided, it is a foregone conclusion, and there may be chaos in many places in the future, let's just ignore these and do our own thing." Go to work, yes, stay tuned to that guy named Barrerus. ”
