a week later.
The Great Sea Route, Alabasta, the port city of rapeseed.
The city that used to be very lively is now a little deserted. Even if a steel fleet like the navy is docked, there is no scene of being surrounded by countless people as imagined.
There were only a dozen or so people in the entire port, and even more than half of them looked sneaky.
After all, on the edge is Cattleya, the stronghold of the rebel army.
Therefore, many people here have fled to the capital Albana, and the rest are basically either those who are old and unwilling to leave, or those who have joined the rebel army.
Ignoring those people at the port, as Li Yan's agent, Ain began to command the landing of the navy.
More than 2,000 sailors, in addition to about 300 people who stayed behind in the fleet, almost 2,000 navy members walked off the warship one after another.
Although the size of the rebel army has now reached 500,000 people, if they really dare to attack the navy, even with only these 2,000 people, Ain is confident of victory.
After all, these rebels were once only civilians, with low combat effectiveness and no systematic training. To use Li Yan's words, that is...
A bunch of scumbags.
"Navy, what are you doing here?"
Just as the sailors disembarked and commanded the following team under Ain, a burly man with a missing right arm appeared in front of the navy and said loudly in a questioning tone.
With his questioning, more and more people appeared around the port, and they rushed towards the port location. A simple visual inspection showed that there were definitely no less than 60,000 people.
"Navy, let me ask you again, what are you doing here, to prepare to intervene in the kingdom of Alabasta... Are you?"
Just when Farafora saw Ain ignoring herself and spoke again with a louder voice, she suddenly saw the figure behind Ain, and she felt very familiar.
Soon, Farafora remembered, isn't this Princess Vivi?
It turned out that everything that person told him was true!
Princess Vivi went to seek the help of the navy, and the navy dispatched a fleet to assist King Cobra in suppressing the rebel army.
Originally, she no longer had any doubts about the somewhat skeptical Farafora after seeing Weiwei.
Instead it's...
Endless anger!
Originally thought that Princess Vivi was the only innocent person in the royal family, but now it seems that she is no different from Cobra!
No, the navy can't let them go to Albana!
After some weighing, Farafora quickly made a decision.
"Navy, you don't need your intervention in the affairs of Alabasta, go back!"
"otherwise..."
Farafora's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"I know you, Farafora, my father never used dancing powder, it's all someone else's conspiracy!"
"Let me have a good talk with Kosha, the civil war must not start, otherwise countless people will die, and no one will be victorious!"
Still the same as in the original book, Weiwei is a little naive, thinking that the problem can be solved by talking.
However, the world is very cruel. Her sincere words were directly understood by Farafora as a threat.
Yes, threats!
"Princess Vivi, let the navy go back, I can guarantee you a safe return to Albana, but if the navy insists on intervening, then we can only defend Alabasta with our own hands!"
Saying that, Farafora waved his hand, and more than 60,000 people immediately surrounded them, densely crowding the 2,000 people from the navy in the middle.
"Weiwei, it's useless, no matter what you say, he won't believe it!"
"The next thing, leave it to me!"
Gently patted Vivi on the shoulder from behind, Ain said.
"Everyone, firearms are not allowed, try not to cause disability, and take down all the rebels!"
Unlike the stragglers of the rebel army, the sailors showed extremely high military literacy. Almost the same second after Ain's order was issued, everyone opened the Corona 18-style insurance in their hands with neat movements. to prevent misfires.
If it is said that the average stamina of an ordinary soldier in the navy is ten, and the average stamina of the Alabasta kingdom army is eight, the average of these rebel armies may not even be five.
And what about the elite sea soldiers of the Eighteen Branches?
The minimum is 30, and there are many people who even exceed 100.
Basically, everyone can play one to ten, and if you add to each other's cooperation, the gap will be even bigger.
Therefore, although there are only 2,000 people, and the rebel army has more than 60,000 people, the marines are not panic at all.
And after hearing Ain's order and seeing the eyes of those sailors...
Farafora knew that today's matter might not be so easy to understand, so she slowly raised her right hand, and was about to swing it forward the next moment.
"Farafora, stop!"
"Alec, what are you doing here?"
After hearing the familiar voice, Farafora looked to the left, and it turned out to be Eric, the staff officer of the rebel army.
"Farafora, if you start a war here, you won't even have a chance to win!"
"Impossible. The number of people on my side is 30 times that of the Navy. Even if the Navy has a strong combat power, it is impossible to grab all of them and get a dozen of them!"
"Farafora, can you use your brain? Didn't you see those warships in the port?"
"What happened to the warship, is it possible that the warship can still grow legs and go to the land to fight?"
"It's true that warships can't go to land, but this is the navy of the East China Sea, and the warships of the East China Sea Navy are the best in the world in terms of range and accuracy of shelling. A naval gun has a range of more than three kilometers!"
hiss...
Farafora, who doesn't usually read newspapers and isn't interested in things outside of Alabasta, doesn't know that.
But at this moment, listening to Eric, cold sweat also appeared from his forehead.
After all, the reason why he is not worried about those warships is because his current position is five or six hundred meters away from those warships.
And according to the shelling of the front-mounted smoothbore guns that exceeds 300 meters, it is difficult to say whether those warships are bombarding the rebels or the navy if they fire.
Because of this, he concluded that even if the war began, the naval warships would not dare to fire.
But what the **** is a three-kilometer precision artillery bombardment?
Accurate artillery can be achieved at a distance of three kilometers, so the distance of five or six hundred meters does not mean where to shoot?
Involuntarily Farafora looked at the warships docked in the port.
really...
The turrets on the warship have been rotated, and the huge terrifying barrels are facing them at the moment.
"You stupid, do you understand now, this battle cannot be fought!"
"What if you don't fight, do you just let the navy go to Albana?"
"There will be less than 2,000 people. Even if the fighting strength is stronger, they will not play a decisive role in the battle of millions of people!"
"this..."
Well, Farafora had to admit that Eric was right.
Instead of fighting the navy here, it is better to let them go to Albana.
wait for that time...
But there is no threat from these warships!
