From Admiral to the Gotei 13

In the windless zone south, on the edge of an island, two huge warships are moored near the island.

On the island, a group of navy and a group of geological prospectors are sitting in front of a small hill to discuss something.

In front of Diarmuid was a cave excavated by exploration, with several mounds of earth piled on the side.

He reached out and took out a piece of dark ore from the mound, pinched it, and asked a man dressed as a scholar next to him, "Is this iron ore?" "

The man said with some excitement: "Yes, Lieutenant General, after our exploration and data analysis, this island has an extremely high iron ore content, and the mining difficulty is also very low, and there are even many open-pit mines..."

Diarmuid nodded, then threw the iron ore in his hand on the mound of dirt beside him, and whispered, "It's iron ore again..."

It is now in the year 1502 of the Haiyuan calendar, and in the almost two years of windless exploration, three islands with good iron ore content have been discovered, and this is the fourth.

To be honest, Diarmuid was quite excited at first, but now, it's a bit boring.

Why is it iron ore again!?

"It would be nice if it were a gold mine," Diarmuid grumbled.

As soon as his voice fell, several geological prospectors around him all had a somewhat sneering expression.

Just kidding, if the gold mines really grabbed a lot of money so casually, then the gold or something should have depreciated a long time ago.

It is precisely because of the rarity of gold mines that gold is expensive!

Looking at their expressions, Diarmuid smiled, reached out and patted them on the shoulder and said, "Keep up the good work." "

He also knows that this kind of thing, you can't blame these people, it's just a matter of luck.

On the side of the headquarters, he was very happy that he could find an iron ore island, after all, the demand for iron ore is very large.

In fact, Diarmuid also knew some secrets.

That is the armament manufacturing of the Navy Headquarters, which has not been very good for a long time.

Warships are basically outsourced to the capital of the seven waters, and Diarmuid has heard of this.

But what he didn't expect was that even artillery, fortress artillery, guns and ammunition, the navy only produced a small part, most of them, were allocated by the world government, and the world government was even more exaggerated, due to serious corruption, although there is mature manufacturing technology, and the technology is quite high-end, but they just don't make it!

Alas, it is necessary to go out and buy it, buy it from the black market, and after careful calculation, it is much more cost-effective than making it yourself, and you can especially eat oil and water from it...

Diarmuid knew that in the future, Doflamingo and Kaido would be black market arms trafficking giants, and there would indeed be a deal between the world government and them.

But he thought that it was only partial, and he thought that this was a big deal.

No wonder as soon as Doflamingo fell, the world government immediately panicked.

There's no way, you put the firearm in your hand and expect others to make it... Isn't that limited by people?

Diarmuid doesn't even know the top of the world government, is their brains all, can they do this kind of stupid thing?

But think about it again, maybe the five old stars or something should be able to foresee the harm of this kind of thing.

I don't have the power to change anything.

It is a real problem that many things are difficult to return, and many things that people with vision know are wrong, but they can't change the status quo...

Because these things often affect the whole body, and they can only be boiled slowly.

But, boiling and boiling, maybe the soup is not boiled well, and the person who cooks the soup is already dead.

In Diarmuid's mind, as long as the five old stars are not stupid, then they must hope that the big ship of the world government will get better and better, so that their rule will be stable.

Therefore, they probably also hope to crack down on corruption and high-ranking officials.

But the problem is that it's hard to do... Now, catching up with the turbulent tide of the era of pirates, the giant ship of the world government can be said to be stormy and may fall apart and sink at any time.

However, these have nothing to do with him for the time being, and he mainly has to pay attention to the situation in the navy.

Within the navy, corruption is also quite serious, which is seen from the perspective of the entire navy group, such as the Sihai Navy, which has a huge number of branches, and almost everyone has greedy behavior.

At that time, Diarmuid did not do this kind of thing.

Because in that environment, if you don't do it, others will think that you are pretentious, and they will be hostile to you, and then they will start to rectify you.

Someone like Diarmuid, who doesn't have much discipline, will naturally go along with them.

However, the branch belongs to the branch, the four seas return to the four seas, and the Navy Headquarters is quite clear, and there has been almost no corruption.

Perhaps most of the people who can come to the headquarters are righteous in their hearts, coupled with the influence of the general environment and the different levels of supervision, these chaos will naturally be eliminated.

I heard that not long ago, the Warring States General had begun to dispatch officers from his headquarters to serve as inspection teams to various naval bases and branches to investigate corruption and prepare to kill a group of such arrogant arrogance.

This is a good thing, from a macro level, in fact, the more you are in a high position, the more clear you are, and even many people are greedy all the way, but after reaching a high position, they began to be a clean official.

There are many reasons for this, but there is no need to discuss anything.

Of course, there will inevitably be those who are not long-sighted, and huge greed or something is often caught from this high-ranking crowd.

It's a good thing that the Ministry has cracked down on corruption, but it still has little to do with Diarmuid.

Now he mainly wants to promote a mature system for the self-manufacturing of arms and warships on the part of the Ministry.

And the Warring States General and the Steel Marshal also agree very much, but it is still the same sentence, the money is not enough.

The emergence of iron ore has effectively alleviated the sharpness of this problem, and with the initial results of the development of the windless zone, the generals and marshals of the Warring States period have become more and more optimistic and attached importance to this matter.

I heard that Polusalino and Sakasky had been secretly ordered to reorganize the logistics arms manufacturing.

Once the later plan goes further, if it can open up a gold mine or something, the navy plans to build its own warships...

After walking around the island, Diarmuid found a random rock to sit on, and before he could speak, a naval major on the side handed over a water bottle.

Diarmuid smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Virgo." "

That's right, the naval lieutenant in front of him is none other than Virgo, one of the top cadres of the Don Quixote family.

Diarmuid never expected that Doflamingo's bastard would be so bold as to dare to stuff him with a spy here?

However, Diarmuid did not debunk anything, but instead absorbed Virgo into his G-7.

This is also a good chess piece, maybe you can arrange Doflamingo through this guy in the future.

Become a dark line between the two or something.

Although Virgo has been with Doflamingo for many years and is also the highest cadre, in fact, he has always been cultivated by Doflamingo as a 'secret weapon'.

The purpose is to arrange for him to join some organization one day and become an undercover agent.

Therefore, even if he is a close confidant of Doflamingo, he has no name in the North Sea, and normally speaking, Diarmuid should not know who he is.

That's why Doflamingo dared to send Virgo.

Coincidentally, after becoming a pirate, Doflamingo decided to get Virgo into the navy, but he never had time to arrange an operation.

As a result, on the island of Gaya, he was beaten by Dilmud and insulted, and his heart was very angry.

But he couldn't help Diarmuid.

Originally, he endured this tone, and the matter passed for the time being, but it didn't take long for him to hear the news that the G-7 was recruiting.

At this moment, he couldn't hold it back, and directly called Virgo to enlist and join Diarmuid's command.

With Virgo's potential, he will perform casually, and he may become Diarmoud's henchman in the future.

When the time comes, he conspires with Virgo inside and outside, and if he finds an opportunity, he can clean up that bastard of Diarmuid and let out this evil breath in his heart.

Of course, with Doflamingo's heart, he naturally would not send a henchman like Virgo to G-7 for the simple reason of wanting revenge on Diarmuid.

Although he hated and hated Diarmuid in his heart, Doflamingo was still very clear about the situation, and he knew very well that Diarmuid would inevitably gain power in the navy!

He is now the only candidate for a general in the navy, and the position of a general is actually lacking, maybe one day Diarmuid will be promoted to a general?

At that time, the people who follow him will inevitably get benefits.

Now let Virgo follow Diarmuid, in the future, Diarmuid will be promoted to admiral or something, Virgo will successfully become the elite of the Navy Headquarters, or Diarmuid's descendant, if you want to be in a high position, get more power and intelligence, isn't it much simpler?

This is much more convenient than Virgo going out on his own and getting promoted in the navy with a head iron.

Therefore, in Doflamingo's view, it is necessary to get Virgo to Diarmoud for both public and private purposes.

So here comes Virgo.

"Lieutenant General, you're welcome." Virgo said politely.

I have to say that before this guy showed his true face, he was indeed a standard excellent naval template, and if Diarmuid didn't know that this guy had a ghost, he might have been deceived by him.

In fact, leaving Virgo behind, Diarmuid was also a little hesitant in his heart.

But in the end, it stayed.

G-7 hides a lot of secrets, and Virgo, an undercover agent, is here, of course, there is a possibility of intelligence leaks.

But fortunately, only Gion and Dauberman knew about the development plan of the windless zone, and although Virgo also felt that something was wrong, the news he got was that Diarmoud wanted to make achievements for his own selfish interests, and was doing these troublesome things.

Didn't think much about it.

As for whether it will leak out in the future, it depends on how Diarmuid arranges him.

Don't worry about it for the time being.

What's more, Doflamingo's bastard is so disgusted and hated the World Government and the Draconians that he wants to eat their flesh raw and drink their blood.

Trying to pull them all into the mud.

If he really finds out that the Navy is doing something unfavorable to the world government, maybe this guy will not only not tell the truth, but on the contrary, he will help cover it up.

Of course, with his character, maybe he will use this as a threat to blackmail him Diarmuid...

Alas, that's even better, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to clean up that guy.

After taking a sip of water, Diarmuid touched the long Zeng Mihu Che hanging on his waist with some embarrassment, the scabbard was good, and the knife inside was still broken.

Famous knives are hard to find, not to mention twenty-one workers, and after waiting for this year, I didn't see the general staff and Stussy find any good knives for him.

As for Douglas Barrett, there was nothing to gain either.

Rubbing the scabbard, Diarmuid pretended to say: "Alas, take pity on my tiger Che, and I don't know when I will get another famous knife..."

After saying that, he took another sip of water.

"I'm hinting at it so obvious, do you kid understand? If you understand, go to Doflamingo to get a famous knife to bribe me, otherwise you still want to be promoted and make a fortune under me? Will you be a man? Diarmuid thought to himself.

Virgo on the side thought in his heart: "It seems that this guy Dearmud really likes famous knives, and he has sighed a lot in front of everyone, if he can get him a famous knife, maybe he will trust me more and cultivate me... It's just that even if I get a knife, how can I explain the source to him? "
