Codex Pirates

Chapter 219 Expedition Team Members

In the East China Sea, William was woken up in the middle of the night by someone in the attendant's room knocking on the door.

The experience of lurking on Barbarossa's ship back then gave William a habit of being vigilant, and even now he can't change it. Although he was still asleep just now, when the knock on the door sounded, William had already recovered. He sat up on the bed and put his hand on the head of the bed, where there was the word He Dao.

"Come in!" A young and strong body is the capital, William became sober in a moment, and ordered to the outside.

A young attendant pushed open the door, glanced nervously at the sharp-eyed William, lowered his head and handed over a document, and said, "My lord, there is an urgent message from the Capital of Seven Waters."

William knew very well that if his subordinates knocked on the door in the middle of the night, something important must have happened. In fact, his power in the East China Sea has developed relatively steadily, and similar situations have rarely occurred recently, so he is so serious.

"What is it?" William asked casually after receiving the document with a red envelope representing an emergency.

"...The judicial ship that went to the capital of the seven waters to try crimes was attacked. The mastermind of the incident, Tom the Murloc, was shot dead because he resisted arrest. His student Carter Flam later attacked the sea train that the world government officials were riding on, which failed and was hit by the train. His whereabouts are unknown and he may have died at the bottom of the ocean."

While listening to the attendant's report, William flipped through the documents that recorded more detailed events.

William's brows gradually wrinkled as he learned more about the matter.

After a while, after flipping through the documents, William said, "Tell someone from the staff to go to my study and call Edmond."

The corner of the attendant's mouth twitched, and he took the order and left.

After the attendants left, William didn't rush to the study immediately, but took out a bottle of fine wine from the wine cabinet to the balcony.

Outside, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, and inside and outside the manor, except for the sound of some guards walking around, there was no noise. How many people knew and paid attention to the death of a shipbuilder thousands of miles away in the East China Sea?

Compared to sea trains, Tom the Murloc may be able to build a ship for One Piece more as a topic of conversation before and after dinner.

William poured a glass of wine for himself and drank it down, then poured another glass, spilled it on the ground, and murmured, with some inexplicable meaning, it seemed to be ridicule or emotion: "One Piece, You have another companion going down to accompany you, are you happy now? Or sad?"

In general, William's mood now is the same as when Marcellus, the commander of ancient Rome, heard that an ignorant soldier had killed Archimedes.

Fortunately, according to the report, Tom's first disciple Esbagu is still alive, and he does not resist contact with his side.

William thought about this, and he didn't go until the attendant knocked on the door again and told everyone to arrive at the study.

When I arrived at the study, I found that there were already four or five young men in military uniforms standing inside. When Hitler asked designers to design clothing for his army, he had given such instructions, requiring German soldiers to dress beautifully and imposingly.

The army is a symbol of force, and his image plays a very high role in propaganda, especially under the military-first policy, soldiers are the targets for young people to imitate. William refers to the military uniforms of the German army in World War II in his previous life in his memory, and slightly modifies them for his Guards and staff officers designed uniforms.

At this time, several young people in the room were all wearing long black trench coats with copper-colored buttons, a skull badge on their chests, and a gold-rimmed armed belt on a white background around their waists. None of these staff officers was weak People, with a tall and straight figure that has been trained for many years, combined with a straight military uniform, each of them looks heroic.

Compared with the staff department, which also belongs to William's think tank team, the servant's room does not have such treatment, because since the establishment of the staff department, the servant's room has belonged to the civil affairs system. Although there are uniforms, they are only suits and ties. All these, plus The General Staff Department was established by splitting the power of the attendant room. The natural relationship between the two departments is somewhat complicated, and there is no opposition. William is not a person who likes to play cockfights, but the atmosphere of subtle comparisons between them has emerged.

When I got closer, I realized that there was a small phone bug on the desk.

As soon as William arrived, several staff officers in the room immediately stood at attention and saluted, and the clinking of neat leather boots alerted the person on the other side of the phone.

"William, what's wrong with calling me so late?"

Edmund's voice came from the mouth of the phone, and he imitated the other party's sleepy appearance vividly.

"Tom the Murloc is dead." William said, and then he saluted several staff officers and asked them to sit down.

Edmund on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and seemed to think for a few seconds before realizing who Tom the Murloc was: "He built the sea train well, why did he suddenly die?"

William told Edmund and the staff in the house about the incident in the intelligence report, and after everyone figured out the cause and effect, he said, "Why is the world government suddenly eyeing him? It's not our turn yet." It doesn’t matter, but even if you do, you need to go to the great route first, and you should be ready immediately, and you will leave for the great route within a week.”

Although the expedition team William is not going to go in person, the team configuration is quite luxurious. In addition to the leader Edmund, there are also Selkirk who has been on the great route, Harden who volunteered, and the clever Crowe. Diego, who is experienced at the helm, and Jesus Bu, who is a sharpshooter, are accompanied by powerful players.

In addition, there are some old pirates who used to follow William, such as the alcoholic Hutcherson, and newcomers who stand out from the Guards and Neuster Academy, such as L'Hopida Rolle and others will also join the ship. team to go.

Finally, after William implemented military reforms, he recruited some armed personnel from the local area that were different from the regular army. Among them were criminals from other countries, even bandits and gangsters, but because of their talents, to be more precise, If he can kill the enemy for William, he will be incorporated into the militia.

Although the discipline and loyalty were much worse, and good and evil were mixed, many of them were outstanding. For example, a young man named Crick, whom William had been paying attention to for a long time, was also sent to the expedition team this time.

The great route hides dragons and crouching tigers, especially in the second half of the new world, where the big pirates can even compete with the navy, but with this configuration, entering the great route, unless you encounter a few murderers in the first half, there will be no problems After all, as an expedition team, they have an official legal status, and they don't need to hide in order to escape the navy's pursuit like other pirates.

William discussed with the staff officers about the weapons and supplies to be carried. William considered it for a while, but still did not let them bring the second-generation chemical weapon M.H.2, which had been developed to the second generation, with him.

After everything was finalized, the meeting was adjourned. These young staff members endured their sleepiness and began to contact various departments separately.
