Holy Land Mary Joa.

between powers.

Looking at the report that had just been sent, the five old stars were all frowning at the moment.

28 ironclads ...

They naturally knew about the ironclad, after all, when Sean went to the Chambord Islands before, he took the ironclad, not to mention the peach rabbit and the red dog, and now they each have an ironclad ship.

It was precisely because Sean did not hide it, and even arranged it directly for Peach Rabbit and Akainu, plus Sengoku also ordered three ships from Carrera, so the five old stars did not suspect anything.

But Alabastan...

It's impossible!!

Alabastan is the largest and most populous country in the world, but it's poor...

Where did they get Bailey to buy ironclad ships, and 28 of them at a time?

There's obviously something wrong with that!

"What do you think about this?"

"I have a feeling it has something to do with Sean, did you forget another piece of information a few months ago?"

"You mean... What about the people of the Sixteen Branch in Alabastan and helping them train their soldiers?"

"That's right, that's it!"

"But after investigation, didn't it say that the Sixteenth Branch sent a group of instructors at the invitation of Kobra?"

"That's true, but don't you think it's strange, 28 warships were thoroughly used only a few days after they arrived in Alabastan, you must know that the king of Alabastan ***, that's a simple army!"

"It's really a bit wrong when you say that, the navy and the army are completely different arms, and even if there are warships, the army can't play at all in a short period of time, so you mean, the sea soldiers that Sean trained them in Alabastan?"

Suddenly, all five of them fell silent.

Sean Cambuur.

Nafirutali of Alabastan.

These are very sensitive existences.

According to the conjectures of the previous five people, Sean is likely to have an unexplained relationship with Lord Imu, and may even have a blood connection.

And the Nafirutali family was one of the twenty clans of the original Celestial Dragons, and when their ancestors left the Holy Land, Lord Yimu also explained that the Nafirutali family should not be touched.

Therefore, whether it is Sean or the Neferutari clan, it is not something that the five of them can move at will.

That's where it gets a lot of trouble.

"Why don't you ask Lady Imu?"

"No, Lord Imu is almost asleep again, so it's not appropriate to disturb now!"

"What then? In case Alabastan gets out of control..."

There was a hint of worry on the faces of the bearded five old stars.

As I said before, the world government now has a complete set of plans for the rule of the member countries.

The first step is to allow the pirates to run into chaos, causing the people of one country to live in misery, and finally forcing each country to seek refuge from the world government.

The second step is to collect protection fees for the countries that join, that is, the heavenly gold, to ensure that these countries have no spare money to form a naval fleet after giving the heavenly gold.

Third, build a navy, and then let the navy protect these member countries, and push the pirates to those non-member countries to burn and loot in disguise, so as to promote more countries to join the world government.

Fourth, to maintain the balance between the navy and the pirate forces, and to prevent the member countries from wanting to withdraw from the world government because of the elimination of the pirate crisis, in short, to raise their own respect.

For hundreds of years.

In this way, the world government completely controls the world.

Even when they entered the world of pirates, they did not give up this way.

Imbalance in faction strength?

The power of the pirate camp greatly overwhelms the navy?

It doesn't matter, let's get a Seven Martial Seas out and re-maintain the stability of the camp!

So, is the world government incapable of exterminating pirates?

Maybe the new world of the Age of the Sea Pirates is indeed a bit troublesome for them, but if it's just the first half of the four seas and the great route...

That's not really the case.

It's just that for the sake of the so-called faction balance, in order to continue to control the world, they don't want to do it.

It can also be seen from this that this so-called camp balance is such an important thing for the five old stars.

Even in order to restore balance, it is okay not to be cheeky, because this is the cornerstone of their world domination.

And today's Alabastan is tearing a hole in one direction.

That is the member country itself.

If the member country has a strong navy that can resist pirates.

So what else do you need the Navy for?

Since there is no need for a navy, then why do you have to hand over that terrifying amount of heavenly gold every year?

It's okay to quit the world government.

If this scenario is emulated, the result could be worse than a disruption of the balance at sea.

It will definitely shake the foundations of world government.

It is precisely because of this that the five old stars are so anxious at the moment.

"According to the previous offer made by Carrera to Sengoku, the medium-sized, which they define as the type of destroyer, costs 500 million Baileys, while the smaller frigates cost 200 million Baileys."

"Therefore, the 28 warships of Alabastan this time are a total of 9 billion Baileys."

"We can't move Alabastan directly without Lord Imu's orders, but where they got this money from must be clarified!"

"If it is found out that Kobra has manipulated the financial revenue of Alabastan and thus handed over a part of the heavenly gold, then let him make up for it immediately, and if he can't make up for it, replace it with those ironclad warships."

The curly-haired five old stars pondered for a moment before speaking.

The other four were all blinded.

That's right, although you can't touch the Neferutari clan, but the rules of heavenly gold, that is indestructible.

And the reason why Kobra was able to spend 9 billion Baileys to purchase these 28 ironclad warships shows that he has done something to the financial revenue of Alabastan.

You must know that the fact that each member country has to hand over the heavenly gold is not set casually, but after detailed calculations.

To ensure that after these member states pay the heavenly gold, the remaining treasury can only keep the kingdom running, and cannot build a costly navy.

Therefore, the Five Old Stars have concluded that the reason why Kobra was able to buy 28 warships must have made false accounts, thus withholding a part of the heavenly gold that should have been handed over to the world government.

Now, they just want to find out about this matter and ask Kobra to make up the arrears, and even take the opportunity to take the fleet of Alabastan in the right name, and they will not do anything directly to the Nafirutali family.

This would not disobey Lord Imu's original orders, and at the same time, it would be able to extinguish Alabastan's naval dreams for legitimate reasons.

It's a good idea.

Soon, the other four all agreed.

------

Ten days later.

A team of world government officials came to Alabastan.

The purpose of their trip was to find out if Cobra had done anything financially so that he could pay less heavenly money.

At the same time, it is also here to investigate where the Bailey, who bought these warships, where did Cobra come from.

However, after half a month of investigation, nothing was found, and no clues were found that Kobra was doing anything to the revenue.

As for the source of money for the purchase of warships, Kobra also gave a reasonable explanation.

It was the Neferutali family who sold a large number of treasures and made it up.

After all, it is a family of more than 800 years, and it is one of the twenty clans that were created at the beginning, plus every generation of the Neferutali family is very diligent and thrifty.

It's not like the Draconians spend excessively.

Therefore, it seems normal that there are some precious treasures or something, and they are sold for billions of Baileys.

In short, I didn't find any reason for the investigation team, and the five old stars had confessed, so they could only investigate normally, and they had to talk about evidence, and they couldn't frame the Nafirutali family at will.

So, after the investigation was fruitless, they didn't dare to frame them as before, so they could only go home.

When this incident reached Sean's ears, it was also a wake-up call for him.

The first batch is good to say, that is, 9 billion Bailey ships, but the second, third, and even in their own plans, the Alabastan Navy, which has hundreds of warships ...

That's not a lot of nonsense.

As for the source of the property of Alabastan's purchase of warships, it is also necessary to do a good job and be able to withstand inspection.

But what to do...

Ah, there you have it!

Suddenly thinking of something, Sean's eyes lit up.

That's right, the property left by the ancestors of the Neferutali family, as well as the gold that he needs to sell, these two things can be dealt with together!

Give the gold artifacts to Kobra and sell them under the pretext of selling the Nafirutali family's property.

In this way, the sale of the gold of the empty island has a channel on the surface, and there is no need to carefully carry out it through the underground world network as before.

The source of funds for Cobra's purchase of warships has also become proven.

This can save you a myriad of hassles.

Thinking of this, Sean immediately called Kobra.

After hearing what Sean thought, Kobra was also very excited.

After all, he also thought about what happened later, and he could avoid it once, but he couldn't avoid it for the second or even third time.

Those excuses of their own, sooner or later, will be a goof.

But with Sean's approach, he was not afraid of anything.

Although he was a little surprised that Sean had so much gold, he didn't get to the bottom of it.

The two sides hit it off directly.

At the same time, it was also agreed that the supply time of the second batch of warships would be half a year later, including more than 50 ironclad ships, including two cruisers.

And in the past six months, what Kobra has to do is...

Began to "sell property" and sold all the gold worth 30 billion Baileys.

Even Sean gave Kobra a trick, anyway, this kind of thing will continue to be done in the future, and simply establish a super auction house in the rain of Alabastan.

By the way, it can also pull the economy of Alabastan, right?

As long as the things auctioned are attractive enough, there is no fear that the rich aristocrats will not come.

And if they want to come, they have to make all kinds of consumption, right?

Therefore, it can also develop a series of industries such as food and accommodation, and even ordinary tourism can also be developed.

Why do you say ordinary tourism?

It stands to reason that even if the aristocrats come for the auction, they will not stay for long, and tourism does not seem to be of much significance.

But Sean gives Kobra another trick that makes it all possible.

If you want to do it, then you will build the world's largest auction house, and the in-venue pictures of this auction will be broadcast live and public in various dining establishments in the rainy land, and even hotels and other places.

Although civilians do not have the money to participate, it is impossible to enter the auction house.

But they're also curious, aren't they?

Curious about what treasures are in the auction for each issue.

Curious about which big names will come to the auction.

Even more curious, the picture of countless bigwigs bidding frantically and not using money as money!

Finally, let Morgans intervene, and arrange reporters to enter the auction during each auction to report on the auction

And what does this mean for those who participate in the auction?

It represents that you must not be cowardly!

After all, there are so many people watching the live broadcast, plus the newspaper report.

If this is a cowardice, where is the face?

These aristocrats care about this thing the most!

As for saying, because there is such a rule, so not come?

Sean said that as long as the things are good enough, then don't be afraid that they won't come!

For example, in this auction, a few pieces of pure gold jewelry were released, each of which is the only type in the world, do you say that you will not come to these rich nobles?

After a while, Kobra became more and more excited.

After all, Alabastan is a desert, and the economy cannot develop at all.

But if the plan of this super auction house is successfully implemented, it may really be able to drive the economy of the entire kingdom.

As a result, Alabastan has moved from poverty to prosperity, and even gradually from prosperity to prosperity.

How could he not be excited?

Finally, with Sean's introduction, Kobra approached Tokaf and asked them to design it immediately and start work as soon as possible!

Although this project could not be compared with the previous sixteen branches of the roundabout fortress, Sumanr was also excited.

It's a great route!!

As long as this project is done well, then Alabastan's next various supporting projects, Tokaf Company will definitely be able to win a large share.

And most importantly...

With this opportunity, Tokaf can go out of the East China Sea and develop its business to the great route!

Really...

The original cooperation with Sean was his life...

The best decision made!
