Codex Pirates

Chapter 295 Opposition

A large part of the reason why William and the Golden Lion Shiji fought and won in the end was that they had airships that could carry people into the sky, and the reason why they were able to build so many airships was also thanks to the various industries in the textile industrial area of ​​Kalmar City. The factory works with one mind, hard work and overtime production.

Although these workers could not go to the battlefield, and their personal strength may not be as good as that of the most ordinary soldiers, they played a huge role in defending the East China Sea and defeating a big pirate like the Golden Lion Shiji.

Like many workers in textile factories, when Frisk heard that the Navy Headquarters was about to send someone after William defeated Shiji the Golden Lion, he thought it was the World Government who wanted to punish William who had defeated Shiji and the people of the East China Sea. Rewards, although William had already awarded bonuses to the workers before that, and kept publishing the advanced deeds of the workers in the newspapers, giving them both material and spiritual rewards, but that was the World Government and the Navy headquarters after all.

Seeing that when the Tianlong people inspected the East China Sea, countless Donghai people cheered and felt honored, and even jumped for joy to see the Tianlong people. For the natives of this world, the status of the world government is different from that of the kingdom.

The kingdom represents only a corner of the land, but the world government represents the world!

But in the end, what Felisk and other workers received was not commendation, honor, or reward, but unemployment, arrest, and embarrassment.

Morgan William was convicted and imprisoned by the navy, and the former nobles and kings returned to power. For the people in the slums, it was a big event that the sky would collapse. Anyone with a little brain knows that the nobles and kings William hated it to the bone. People in the slums rely on William's policies to live a gradually rich and decent life. Here, Morgan William has many supporters, and the factory directors are also supported by Morgan William. , How could the nobles and kings make life easier for the people here after they came to power?

When the factory directors were arrested one after another, the factories were shut down one by one, and the protesters were unceremoniously expelled and suppressed by the Navy headquarters, the people in the slums finally understood that the existence of the industrial zone in Kalmar City was about to disappear forever. reverted.

Most of the people who can work in the factory with peace of mind are unwilling to go back to the past, but after waiting for a while, there is no turning point. Those unemployed workers can only find another way to make a living. Surprised people popped up one after another, and theft and robbery also began to happen sporadically.

If you don’t look at the factory buildings built in the past two years and the workers’ uniforms commonly worn by passers-by on the street, Ferisk almost thinks that he has traveled through time and space and returned to the past days in the slums.

Before becoming a worker, Felix had been a pickpocket, but he was not very successful, so he didn't want to go back to his old job, so he chose to work in a tavern.

Felisk is not smart and capable, but when he was working overtime in the factory to make airships, he passed out because he worked continuously for two days and two nights without rest, so he appeared in the newspapers and was promoted as an advanced deed. Many people in the industrial area Everyone knows him, knows his experience and family situation, and takes good care of him. When he cleans the table, people who know him often leave him a little tip.

Basco and others also discovered this. After some drinkers leave, they will always greet Felisk, and then bet a little money under the plate, and take it away when Felisk clears the table. Other waiters will not this treatment.

They are basically here for the first time, and they don't know the reason. Only the soldier who brought them here knows, and he explained it to them, which made a group of people sigh.

Basco silently took out two Baileys from his pocket and put them under his plate.

Everyone was drinking, chatting and laughing. Originally, there were many wandering warblers in the slums. Most of the women who grew up here could not escape this fate. After the factories were established one after another, the situation has improved a lot, but when the factories closed down, these The large number of unemployed female workers can only go back to the old way, so there is no shortage of women in the entire tavern, and the wandering warblers wearing cheap perfume soon flooded among these people, except for Basco, almost everyone is holding their arms. A woman, teasing and feeding each other wine.

Basco didn't like such occasions at first, and after hearing what happened to Felisk, he was even less in the mood, sitting alone in a corner drinking, but soon, he found that the surroundings were a little quieter. Liu Ying, whom they teased, stopped talking, and the smile on his face was also gone.

Basco straightened his waist and looked around, and finally found the instigator who caused all this.

Several navy soldiers in white uniforms walked in.

Basco frowned deeply.

No matter what the four lieutenant generals in the temporary headquarters of the Navy Headquarters think, in the eyes of people in Kalmar City and even the people in the East China Sea, the current situation in the East China Sea is due to the perverse actions of the Navy Headquarters.

The fact that the capital of the Kingdom of Falaise was robbed and the royal palace was burned was not passed on to Garp and others through the special channel of the navy. Therefore, in this city, not only the lieutenant generals of the navy knew, but many people Also know.

They believed that it was precisely because the people in the Navy headquarters imprisoned the hero who saved the East China Sea for no reason that the Dragon Pirates and Bucky Pirates, the villains who were suppressed and defeated by William, were able to escape from William's hand. Drop and run, and commit such a crime.

Not to mention that during their stay in the city, in order to help the nobles and the king control the situation, they wantonly suppressed the rebels, listened to the nobles' remarks to frame and frame them, and kept arresting city residents in the name of William's party.

The attitude of the people in this city, especially those in the slums, towards the Navy Headquarters has changed from anticipation before their arrival to hatred.

"How dare they come to the tavern in the slums, are they not afraid of being drunk and thrown into the puddle to drown?" a soldier of the garrison whispered.

"What are they afraid of? If anyone dares to do this, they will definitely be identified as William's accomplices, and then they will be caught in prison and executed together with William." Another soldier responded sarcastically.

One person looked at the navy soldiers coldly and said, "These bastards from the Navy headquarters must be very happy now. They have successfully made the East China Sea as messy as the great route."

"Maybe they did it on purpose. It seems that Donghai can't do without them now." Another person said.

Basco sighed: "If Lord William was still here, this city and the East China Sea would not be in such a situation."

As soon as he finished speaking, his comrades looked at each other in dismay, and no one dared to answer the question again.

When Basco and others were talking, the navy had swaggered to the bottom of the stage and sat down. These navy soldiers didn't think too much about it. They usually just obeyed orders. They didn't care about the attitude of the upper echelon and the changes in the environment of the East China Sea. I don’t understand, and in the internal propaganda of the army, they naturally don’t say anything good about William. They still think that they are on the side of justice, although many companions who have had similar experiences have said that the locals in the navy Hostility towards the navy, but these navy soldiers who finally came out to relax did not really understand the gap between the two sides.

It is not the "minority" of criminals who associate with Morgan William who hate them, but the "majority" of the local people.
