Crossover in the Anime World

The navy is not here to suppress the rebellion. To the navy, it doesn't matter who wins. Their purpose is to establish a relationship with the winner. They will want the benefits when the time comes, but they don't care about the pirates.

The navy shows up, and Sand Crocodile immediately sides with Duran, as they are both wanted criminals. Wanted criminals should help wanted criminals. Although their positions are different, their identities are the same. Therefore, he is taking the overall situation into consideration, and the wanted criminals will fight among themselves, but when facing the navy, they should share the same hatred.

When he rushed out, he saw a familiar figure. He was still fighting this Luffy just now. Why did Luffy change into a navy skin now?

Wang Lufei saw the other person's confused expression and smiled: "Have you seen the other me? But don't confuse me with that weakling. The overlord is entangled."

Wang Luffy trained hard in the navy and only slept four hours a day. In order to climb up in the navy, he worked hard to polish his body and combat skills. He was definitely not comparable to Luffy.

When the sand crocodile saw the opponent's fist coming towards him, he tried to turn into sand, but it was of no use and was hit directly by the punch. This feeling is exactly the same as when fighting Whitebeard.

But the other person is not Whitebeard, he is just a young man, how can he be so powerful?

Wang Lufei added more damage and directly beat Sand Crocodile unconscious.

Won? !

Weiwei watched the navy attack forcefully and capture the sand crocodile, but she was not happy. Because the navy came and proved that not a cent of Sand Crocodile's money would fall into his hands.

As a manager of a country, it is impossible not to talk about money.

The only luck is that it rained, but the problem is that there are at least four to six months between planting and harvesting. How will we survive in these months? This is the hardest.

I could have used Sand Crocodile money, but now I have to borrow money. Borrow money from the countries that are members of the World Government in the hope of surviving the crisis. But after borrowing money, Alabasta's finances became even more difficult.

There is also the problem of pirates, which also requires money.

Weiwei envies those who can sail freely on the sea, but the current situation is that she has too much work to do, and it is impossible to be free and leave.

The future situation is not optimistic. All Alabasta can do is wait, wait for other countries to collapse, or even wait for the world government to collapse. When the creditors disappear, they can borrow money without repaying it.

It's all about money.

When King Hui of Liang met Mencius, he immediately asked for money, saying, "I have come a thousand miles away, and I will benefit my country." Mencius said: "Why do you need to call it profit?" It’s just benevolence and righteousness’.

Don’t talk about interests, talk about benevolence and righteousness.

Is benevolence and righteousness good? Good, but the monarch cannot use it.

When life and death are at stake, what everyone cares about is interests, not benevolence and righteousness. The same is true for the princess. She must hold onto her interests, otherwise the country cannot function and the status of the royal family cannot be preserved.

Although the war is now over, the losses have been heavy. The power of the king has declined, and the vassal towns in various places have grown in size. If the king couldn't get the money, he would have to wait for the next rebellion.

Luffy and the others couldn't help. The most they could do was wait until Princess Vivi was overthrown and give her a place to stay. If she didn't want to be a princess, she could still have a promising career as a pirate.

"It's raining." The water representing life moistens the dry earth, but the country's hope is still slim.

Luffy and the others are hiding in the palace, waiting for the navy to leave before they can continue to go to sea.

"Although the Sand Crocodile was caught, the moving natural disaster still disappeared." Weiwei brought the news: "Luffy, where is the Robin you took away?"

"She's gone too. I don't know where she went." Luffy didn't think much at the time and took Robin away, but she disappeared without a word.

"It's okay if she disappears. That woman can read ancient texts, and if she has anything to do with her, she will be targeted by the navy." Weiwei said, "You guys should take good care of yourself here first. Thank you very much for this time."

Everyone is injured and needs to stop thinking about it.

Weiwei needs to deal with the chaotic state affairs and find a way to raise money.

"Although the Sand Crocodile lost, he was not the only loser, the king also lost. Because of the Sand Crocodile's money, the seventh floor was destroyed, and the remaining three floors were looted by the navy. The rebels had no money and could not squeeze out anything. In the end, the king had no choice but to pay for himself, but he also had no money, so he could only borrow money. The winning or losing of the war was not just about the military, but also about who paid the cost in the end. In many cases, the military won and the economy lost. ." Dulan said that it is useless to win military affairs alone. It is not uncommon in history to win a war and bring down a country.

"It is really difficult for a desert country to develop. There are only a few oases, and it is really difficult to rely on the weather. If you want to progress and develop, you still have to industrialize. But under the current situation, it is difficult to eat, let alone industrialize." Dinisha said.

There are three original accumulation methods for industrialization, one is external expansion, the other is internal extraction of agricultural surplus, and the third is acceptance of external investment.

External expansion is the method used by many early industrial countries to complete primitive accumulation through plunder. Extracting agricultural surplus internally is an option for late-developing industrial countries. It is very difficult and laborious, because after industrialization, the initial products are not competitive at all, but they still need to produce and iterate, which requires a large amount of agricultural surplus support. Many countries cannot support it. When the industry came back to support us, we gave up.

3. Accept external investment. External investment is not charity, they also want to make money. Then accepting investment must give up something, which can be part of the sovereignty or a large share of the profits.

In short, it is quite difficult to complete industrialization. Alabasta cannot even think about external expansion and extraction of agricultural surplus. It is simply out of the question.

Then the only way to accept external investment is to borrow money and attract investment. Hope that the country can develop.

"It's a pity that she wants to develop, but she may not have the time, but she will definitely not give up and will take a gamble. The king seems to be ready to let his daughter give it a try." Duran said: "It will not be easy."

"It is indeed difficult, but now many people want to spend Bailey, and they really need a place that can develop and increase value." Dinisha said: "Although the terrain of Alabasta is not good, it is close to the starting point of the Grand Route. Among the seven routes, it is also at the front, and the mask is larger than the surrounding islands.”

"Maybe the lack of water is a flaw."

There are seven routes in the first half of the Grand Line. In the second half there is only one route.

Alabasta, where Luffy left, was one of the seven.

"It still depends on the high speed of sea currents, connecting the world together, reducing transportation costs, and building roads first if you want to get rich. And after all, Alabasta is an eight-hundred-year-old empire, and the various oases are highly developed. As long as the infrastructure is in place, It can be developed immediately. And if some rare metals are dug out in the desert, there will be a mine." Duran smiled.

"But without industrialization and just buying raw materials, we will ultimately be unable to achieve greater success." Dinisha said.

"Aren't many ancient civilizations like this? They developed very early, occupied geographical advantages, and were once glorious. But over time, they became silent. They could not get rich or starve to death. In ancient times, they were very glorious, but then As time goes by, it just becomes mediocre. Ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and Persia, which one has not been great? They can make money relying on geography, but they are not ***, they are just wanderers, and they have not been able to Break through your own shackles and create your own wave. Relying on geographical location, it developed first, but when it reached the upper limit of development, it failed to go further." Duran said: "This is really hopeless."

"You think Alabasta will also fall into mediocrity?"

"Those countries eight hundred years ago will basically fall into mediocrity. As long as they can't create their own wave, that's all they can do." Dulan said: "Of course Weiwei is still very ambitious, judging by her performance. I don't think she is. She will give up, but if she wants to make waves, she has to improve the system and culture. You can imagine the resistance she will face. I’m afraid she won’t be able to break through.”

Dinisha also feels that it is difficult for Alabasta to create a stir. After all, there are many internal and external conflicts, and Weiwei is weak.

PS: Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone.
