The news of the Battle of the New Naval Headquarters has not yet passed, yet another piece of news shocked the world.
There is not much explanation, just a bounty list, but the object of this bounty list...
Name: Kuzan
Nickname: Aokiji
Occupation: Former admiral of the navy, now cadre of the Red-haired Pirates
Bounty: 3.887 billion Bailey
It was the first time that a naval admiral was offered a reward, even for a former admiral! !
"Did I read it wrong? General Qing Zhi was actually rewarded?"
"The above, you read it right, and the point is, General Qingzhi actually joined the Four Emperors?"
"I just said that I watched the news a few days ago. In the video of the battle of the new naval headquarters, it seems that I saw General Qingzhi. Now it seems that he is really him!"
"Could it be that because he failed to compete with Admiral Akainu as a marshal, he defected from the navy and became a pirate in a fit of rage?"
"If that's the case, the character of this Aokiji General is not good!"
"Who said no?"
In the comments below the news, it is also very human.
Almost everyone was shocked by this incident.
However, no one expected that, just three days later, another piece of news shook the world.
It was a message from the Holy Land Mary Joa.
In a nutshell...
The Holy Land did not recognize the navy's reward for Aokiji, and claimed that Aokiji was an undercover agent sent by the Holy Land to the Red-haired Pirates.
At the same time, in view of the navy's recent series of obedience to orders, the Holy Land decided to ban the navy and rebuild a new force to maintain order in the sea.
This new force will be named World Navy, with Aokiji as its first marshal.
And the banned navy will no longer be able to get military spending from the Holy Land!
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in a frenzy.
Not only civilians all over the world, but even within the navy, are also frying pans.
You must know that the Holy Land provides the Navy with a military budget of 50 billion Bailey every year, and once these military expenses are cut off, what it means, no matter how stupid you are, you should understand.
The most direct is...
The Navy doesn't even pay wages.
And this is not just a question of wages, procurement and maintenance of armaments, etc. Which of these does not require money?
Most importantly, the bounty list issued by the Navy will all become a piece of waste paper.
After all, there is no money to pay the bounty! ! !
As for the pirate power, that is to cheer directly.
The navy is outlawed and facing collapse, and it is impossible for a new world navy to be completely formed in one or two years.
So, in the middle of the gap, don't you let them pirates revel?
Even many pirate groups held a banquet directly after hearing the news.
------
The new world, the new headquarters of the navy.
High-rise meeting room.
Just after the East China Sea Fleet "escorted" Kaido back, Li Yan was called to the conference room again for a meeting.
"How is the situation inside the Navy now?"
"It's very bad. The Holy Land's hand in cutting off the funds directly hit our dead end, and now people are panicking everywhere."
After hearing Akainu ask himself, Tsuru replied.
After all, as the intelligence department of the Navy, she has set up eye lines in most of the naval branches.
Therefore, the feedback on the situation of each branch has been obtained at the first time.
I have to say, the situation is really bad.
"Akainu, what did you do, the Holy Land suddenly made this decision?"
Aside, Sengoku asked with a sad face.
"It's nothing, it's just that they rejected the request of the five old stars. They want to let CP0 come over to fill the vacancy of the general!"
"Hey, you, you, you can think of other ways to do this kind of thing, you don't have to refuse it directly. There is no funding for the Holy Land. Our navy has no other results than collapse. You are too impulsive!"
After listening to Akainu's words, Sengoku was very angry.
In his logic, you can agree first, but suspend his power.
Why simply refuse it?
You must know that the Holy Land is the gold lord of the Navy. If you really tear your face with them, the Navy cannot survive on its own.
However, Akainu's expression remained calm despite the accusations of Sengoku.
At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
"Li Yan, just come here, sit down!"
Pointing to the edge, Akainu said.
"Do you know everything?"
"Well, wasn't it expected earlier?"
"Okay, I won't say much about the rest, what you said before..."
"No problem, 50 billion baileys per year, right, I can provide the Navy for ten years in a row."
"Okay, that's fine!"
Hearing this, the corner of Akainu's mouth also raised a slight arc.
But the two on the side were different.
Especially in the Warring States period, the whole head is dumbfounded.
50 billion Baileys per year for ten consecutive years?
What is this guy Li Yan talking about?
And why does Akainu look so natural?
Not normal, so abnormal!
"Akainu, give me a good explanation, what the **** is going on?"
"What's going on? Isn't it obvious that Li Yan has contracted for the Navy's military spending for the next ten years!"
"Damn contract, that's 500 billion baileys, not 5,000 baileys. Where did Li Yan get so many baileys?"
"Okay, Warring States, be quiet!"
"But Crane, this is simply not possible..."
"Okay, don't talk, Li Yan, you made the phone thing, right?"
After stopping Sengoku from continuing to speak, Crane looked at Li Yan.
He has always speculated about this matter, but he has not found conclusive evidence.
But now Li Yan is about to provide ten years of military spending to the Navy...
Although the sales of cars are very popular, and it has indeed made a lot of money for Li Yan, which of the several major projects Donghai is currently carrying out is not a big money-burner?
According to Crane’s calculations, although car sales are booming, the current earnings are not even enough for the sea train project over the East China Sea, let alone other projects.
Therefore, Li Yan must still have a lot of ways to make money.
If this is the premise, the most likely thing is the mobile phone.
"As expected of Lieutenant General Crane, since that's the case, I won't hide it, the mobile phone is indeed made by my East China Sea Navy!"
"What, you really made this phone?"
On the side, Sengoku directly widened his eyes.
"Yes, Warring States Advisor, is there any problem?"
"There is a problem, there is a problem, if you had told me earlier..."
"Stop, Warring States Advisor, even if I told you at the beginning, do you have the determination to draw a line from the Holy Land?"
"I..."
Sengoku really wanted to say yes, but couldn't say it.
He knew very well that even if he knew this at the beginning, he would never cut off the connection with the Holy Land After all, he did not have the decision of Akainu.
"Although the issue of military spending has now been resolved, without revealing the source of military spending, what can you do to stabilize the military's morale?"
After Sengoku was silent, Akainu asked.
If it is said publicly that Li Yan provided military expenses, then I am afraid that the Holy Land will immediately attack Li Yan's industries in an all-round way.
Such as requiring all member countries to ban the use of mobile phones and cars.
If this is the case, not only will these industries be destroyed, but even the power of public opinion controlled by Li Yan will also be weakened.
Obviously, this is not good for the Navy.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to convince the Holy Land that the military expenditure of the navy comes from other places.
"Marshal, I wonder if you have heard a legend..."
"Golden Country, Sandora!"
