Chapter 509: Unrestricted Privateer Permission Released Again
Although Uchiha Tokumitsu is sometimes very easy to speak, he is actually a person who is accustomed to words, so even after the establishment of the Uchiha Dynasty, he has never implemented the division as the 'advice' of some elders of the family - after all, most of the Uchiha ninja are definitely good at cutting people and setting fires, but if he is put in charge of government affairs, it will be an absolute disaster for both the dynasty and the common people under his rule.
However, after the setback in the development of the pirate world, especially in the Battle of Advance City, Uchiha Tokumitsu changed his mind slightly.
Because he has found that unless he releases the large barrel of wood Kaguya on the moon and drives it into the world of pirates, it will be difficult to truly conquer the world of pirates with the strength of the ninja legion alone, after all, what he is facing now is only the paradise in the first half of the great voyage of the pirate world, and he has already encountered a strong enemy that is difficult for Sanshoyu Hanzo to parry, if it is a full-scale attack, whether it is the full counterattack of the world government or the strong pirates of the new world, it will be difficult for the ninja army to resist.
After all, ninjas are just a few people, and in the previous naval battles, they relied more on more advanced armaments and equipment and superb skills and tactics than the pirate world, and when facing the real powerhouses of the pirate world, whether it was a fight or a war of attrition, the ninjas could not afford to consume.
Therefore, after pacifying the six-tailed beasts that had escaped from the trap, Uchiha Tokumitsu issued an edict to convene the Imperial Council again on the same day that the Second Legion completed its assembly.
This time, in addition to Sanshoyu Hanzo, who was far away in the city, the chief administrative officers of the various administrative regions of the ninja government, the overseers of the states, the general of the standing army, and even the heads of various ministries gathered in the government hall of the Grand Palace, which had just been completed, to discuss the development policy of the pirate world.
The development of the pirate world is very necessary, but the way of conquest needs to be properly adjusted!
After reading in detail the operational summary of the two phases of the Battle of Jincheng, this is the unanimous idea of all the important ministers present.
"The replenishment of resources in the pirate world is very important and indispensable for the ninja world."
Uchiha Tokumitsu begins with a clear statement, first of all, expounding the most important position.
In any case, for the ninja world, the resource-rich pirate world must not be abandoned, and it has nothing to do with justice or not, and the comparison of strength - even the catch production of distant-water fishing boats alone can feed one-third of the ninja world's population!
"In addition, Mr. Hanzo's setback in this battle is not a crime of war."
Uchiha Tokumitsu once again set a rule.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is inappropriate to judge a person's ability by a momentary victory or defeat, not to mention that although the offensive of the city has been frustrated, after tactical adjustments, the First Army fleet still destroyed many ships of the puppet government navy, so the battle commanded by Sanshoyu Hanzo is not a complete failure, but it is just a hesitation when it is necessary to pile up victory with human lives, which leads to a missed opportunity.
"Your Majesty plans to change the commander?"
As an old minister of the shogunate, Mizuki Chino was the first to ask tentatively.
"The chief and deputy commanders of the First Legion will not make adjustments."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "Attention Ministers, the main purpose of this meeting is to revise and adjust the development policy of the pirate world. β
"After all, no one can always win!"
Except for meβ
Uchiha Tokumitsu's heart silently said.
But it is precisely because of this that he can't easily drive in person.
After all, God cannot shed blood.
Therefore, he needs a new general to lead the Second Army to carry out the next phase of the strategy.
"The world of pirates is bigger than we expected, so the expedition must be prepared for a long and protracted war."
Sakumo Hachiki added in due course.
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded to him with satisfaction.
This sentence is very appetizing, and it also gives Uchiha Tokumitsu, who once held the 'quick victory theory', a step down.
Seeing this, the important ministers immediately found their position.
"It's just that even if we adopt encroachment tactics, we must maintain a certain amount of military pressure so that the puppet government navy and even other armed forces will not harass our rear ......"
Ghost Lantern Masahiko said: "The door to the world that we currently hold cannot be lost. β
As one of the leaders of the three tribes of Fog and Hidden Hidden that Uchiha Tokumitsu held in his hand, Oni Lantern Masahiko's rudder kung fu is much stronger than that of a group of Konoha ninjas, so although this sentence is correct, it is actually worthless to study it in detail - if the puppet government navy has hit the gate of the world, then Uchiha Tokumitsu will really have to consider releasing the ancestors on the moon to destroy the world together.
"What the Overseer Masahiko said is right, the offensive of the ninja army can be eased a little, and the military pressure can be maintained in the direction of the advance city and the East China Sea, and the strategic goal can be revised to the continuous attack and attrition of small forces, so that in the long run, as the enemy disappears and rises, there will be a full-scale attack one day."
Luo Sha, the political officer of the Southwest Administrative Region, said.
He is also somewhat selfish in saying this.
Because the ninja who was born in the original sand is not good at water warfare, even the ninjas who can use the water escape ninjutsu can't make up a squadron, so the right to speak in the expedition is naturally the lowest - even the original rock hidden cloud is not as good as the original rock hidden cloud that is still in the state of military control.
Before participating in the Imperial Meeting, he also took the initiative to put aside his previous suspicions, and discussed with Ye Cang, who was in charge of the Third Army, although he did not achieve much consensus, but at least both of them agreed that the Sand Hidden line should not always nest in the southwest region to eat sand, and also actively participate in the expedition to carry forward the name of Sand Yin.
But Hakura's transformation and reorganization of the ninja army has been going on, even if he has now contacted the assistant political officer of the central government district Uchiha Shisui again under the line of Raksha, and reached an exchange and training agreement with the Second Army of the Army stationed in Konoha, but even so, it will take a long time for the ninjas from the Sand Hidden lineage to adapt to sea combat.
"If a small force is used to harass, then personnel and equipment must be properly adjusted......"
Uzumaki Reeda pondered for a moment and said: "Due to the limitation of the number of personnel, it is inevitable that the raiding force will fall into the enemy's encirclement in wartime, resulting in being surrounded and strangled, but ......"
"Judging from the previous battle reports, our advantage has always been in equipment and tactics - especially the ironclad ship, which is a top secret that must not be leaked!"
Uzumaki Reeda thought for a moment and added: "Even if the risk of attacking the troops increases due to sacrificing the proper equipment performance, it cannot lead to the leakage of equipment with cross-era advantages!" β
"But in this way, it is inevitable that there will be ...... loss of personnel"
The general of the Second Army of the Army, Uchiha Naga, stopped talking.
The crowd was silent when they heard this.
Even after large-scale expansion, the number of combatable ninjas in the ninja world has always been limited, with less than 100,000 standing ninja troops, and even if they are fully recruited and all the reserve forces are filled, there is a high probability that there will not be more than 200,000 ninjas - and this is already after all the ninja clans and even the various reclamation leagues have been hollowed out.
It is precisely because of the preciousness of the battleable ninja that when the battle of Advance Castle urgently needs to adjust its tactical strategy, even if Uchiha Tokumitsu gives the authorization of 'whatever it takes', Sanshoyu Hanzo still can't be ruthless and use his life to pile up the Advance Castle before the arrival of the naval reinforcement fleet.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion that I don't know if I should talk about ......."
After thinking about it in her mind for a long time, Shui Wuyue Qiannuo decided to be in the limelight again.
Moreover, according to his understanding of Uchiha Tokumitsu, although his strategy seems to be a bit vicious, it is actually just an imitation of the old wisdom, and in the final analysis, it is a flexible use of the strategy of the lord.
"But it doesn't hurt to say ......"
The Uchiha Tokumi bowed his head in greeting.
"We Can Restart the Unrestricted Privateer Permit ......"
Mizuki Chino told a bloody but long-sealed poisonous plan.
The important ministers first looked at each other, and then began to bow their heads slightly in agreement.
As early as the opening of Uchiha Tokumitsu out of the eastern part of the land of fire, this special license born to cooperate with the 'private trade' between the two sides destroyed the maritime power of the two countries in a very short period of time, and completely incorporated the ninja world East China Sea into the shogunate rule, and at the same time, the benefits obtained from the privateer made Uchiha's pro-affiliated ninja clan benefit a lot, and since then they have supported Uchiha Tokumitsu even more desperately.
"It's just that the remnants of the privateers should not be the ...... of the standing ninja army in service."
Uchiha Fugaku said: "Now that two expeditionary armies have been formed, one-third of the elite ninjas under the command of the garrison armies in various places have been transferred, and if a large number of personnel leave their posts......
"Indeed!"
Senator Uchiha Quartet echoed: "The stability of the ninja world is the foundation of the dynasty, and it must not be shaken. β
That's right, after all, it's really inappropriate for the standing ninja army to be used for privateering, and if the ninjas of the ninja army are used to fighting this kind of battle everywhere, it will be difficult for them to adapt to the ninja army establishment in the future - just like the 'royal divisions' who were used to fighting law and order wars in Uchiha Tokumitsu's previous life frequently showed timidity after going to the battlefield.
But if this is the case, where will the men be mobilized to form a privateer force?
Thinking of this, the ninja clan leaders led by Tsunade and Hyuga Patriarch moved slightly, and their faces showed a hint of urgency.
In their hands, there are still many family ninjas!
Moreover, if each family joins forces and matches according to their own secret attributes, they can really put together a ninja army that is very suitable for 'fighting behind enemy lines'!
"All families are willing to share your Majesty's worries!"
The most anxious Inuzuka patriarch immediately said everyone's wishes.
"That's right!"
"Yes!"
After someone took the lead, the leaders of the ninja clan in high positions immediately agreed.
"The patriotism of the secretaries is really touching......"
Uchiha Tokumi replied without being yin or yang.
"However, the equipment of privateer raids and harassment troops still needs to be strictly controlled......"
Although he also understood that this would inevitably cause dissatisfaction, Uzumaki Reeda emphasized again: "Especially battleships, they must not be equipped with ironclad ships, no matter what type they are!" β
"The words of the senior reeds are reasonable......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu nodded in agreement.
Although privateer raids and harassment of troops are self-financing, if this leads to the proliferation of ninja armaments and technology, it will really outweigh the losses.
After all, the biggest advantage of the ninja world over the pirate world today is the crushing of armament technology.
"Privateer raids and harassment troops are bound to suffer battle losses, and even capture is no longer impossible......"
The old Kurama patriarch stood up and said, "However, everything in the ninja world must not be leaked, and it must be forbidden by means of sealing!" β
"Whether it is the mystery of ninjutsu or the language of the ninja world, it is absolutely not allowed to let the people of the other world know about it."
The Shiranui Patriarch, who is also the leader of the ninja clan, agreed.
In this regard, although the Hyuga patriarch and the others were a little dissatisfied, it was not good to say anything, after all, what the two leaders of the pro-affiliated ninja clan said was absolutely politically correct.
"But ninjas are human after all, so you must not describe human nature too much until you have experienced it yourself......"
Ghost Lantern Masahiko echoed.
The important ministers were speechless.
If you want to do this, how can you have any room for manoeuvre......
"Patriarch Reed, what is the best plan?"
Just as the ministers were each making small calculations, Uchiha Tokumitsu turned to Uzumaki and asked.
"There is a secret technique to keep you safe......"
Uzumaki bowed, but did not finish his sentence.
The important ministers thought for a moment, and then their faces changed slightly.
"Say it."
The Uchiha Tokumi bowed his head and gestured.
"The mark of the root of the tongue!"
As expected, the noun that spat out of Uzumaki's mouth was none other than this infamous secret technique!
"But the personal freedom of the ninja family should not be a concern for the ninja government or even the dynasty......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu looked a little reluctant to return the favor.
"This is simple, and the technique of the Seal of the Tongue Curse can be transformed into only restricting words so that it does not leak information, and the research institute is confident that it will complete this sealing technique adjustment work."
Uzumaki Reina first saluted Uchiha Tokumitsu, and then said to the important ministers, "In addition, the key to the seal of the sealing technique can also be kept by the leaders of each family......"
The faces of the important ministers immediately improved.
In this way, it is not unacceptable......
Especially for the Hyuga family, this can strengthen the control of the clan, especially the family!
As a result, a group of important ministers agreed with Lao Cheng's solemn whirlpool reed name.
Subsequently, this privateering license, which was destined to be full of blood, was successfully passed by the tacit understanding of the important ministers.
In addition to the ninjas of various ninja clans, the ninja world's wave ninjas, unemployed samurai, wealthy merchants, and even those who have been eliminated can get a privateer's license and buy the 'armed clipper' launched by the Uchiha Dynasty to join the expedition to the new world as long as they pass the assessment of skills such as boat operation and navigation!
The only difference is that privateers who are not ninja ninjas must pay an additional fee to put themselves with a curse of tongue!
Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, with the promulgation of the privateering license, the ninja world, which had been completely silent under the rule of the dynasty, suddenly boiled!
Coupled with the intentional or unintentional promotion of the ninja government, the Great Voyage Expedition has become the hottest topic in the ninja world for a while!
The wealthy businessmen who had already made up their minds to stay at home and become rich men immediately invested heavily in recruiting the Langnin samurai, and they were full of ambition to do a great job!
On the third day of the official announcement of the privateering license, the ninja government officially announced the formation of the 'Four Seas Company', which will provide one-stop services for all privateer raiding forces, including but not limited to personnel recruitment information release, arms sales, equipment repair, nautical chart intelligence, and even the sale of stolen goods!
Subsequently, the ninja world was even more boiling!
