From Admiral to the Gotei 13

"Marshal, about the military spending in the next few years, did the people above say that they want to increase it?" Diarmuid asked.

Marshal Steelbone was stunned for a moment on the phone bug, and then said with a smile: "You think too much, I have also asked, but the above means wait and see..."

"Wait-and-see?" Diarmuid muttered, and then pretended to be a little unhappy and said: "Now everyone can see that the sea is about to be chaotic, no, it should be said that it is already chaotic, and then there will be countless pirates, swarming here, if you want to pacify them, don't you have to rely on our navy to help?" In this case, one step ahead, one step at a time, one step at a time, one step after another, and still thinking about pressing our military spending, the situation is already erosive enough, and if we press one step further, wouldn't it be even worse? "

Listening to Diarmud's complaining tone, the Steel-Bone Marshal also felt some emotion in his heart.

Yes, it's been such a time, and the people above are still worried about their navy becoming bigger...

Isn't their navy going to be bigger, and they're going to watch the pirates get bigger?

After all, their navy and the world government, but their own people, now guarding their own people, watching the enemy sweep through, is really wrong.

But he was just thinking about it in his heart, and no matter what he thought, at least on the surface, as a naval marshal, he could not show his resentment towards the world government.

Because he represents the navy, his every move will affect the entire navy.

Marshal Steelband also did not want the gap between the Navy and the World Government to widen.

That's really not good for anyone.

"Okay, okay, there are also their considerations above, and the position of the station is different, and the angle of thinking about things is naturally different." The Steel-Skeleton Marshal said to Diarmuid.

Diarmuid pretended to mumble a few sentences, which was considered to have put the matter behind, and then asked: "Marshal, if the military budget does not rise, should our navy be conscripted or something?" "

"In the past few years, the headquarters has also saved some family foundation, and it should be strengthened or strengthened, just like you said, step by step, step by step, step by step, step by step, we can't stop because there are ideas above." Marshal Steelbone said without hesitation.

"Is it enough?" Diarmuid asked directly.

Marshal Steelbone's tone was stunned, and he said a little helplessly: "In a short period of time, it should be enough, and it should be no problem in three or two years... After that, it's hanging. "

"Three or two years," Diarmuid muttered, and then said: "Then it seems that my windless zone development plan should still be effective, and maybe it can be connected with the headquarters." "

"That's why I want you to tell you how to develop it in the interests of our navy over there in the windless belt?" Marshal Steelbone asked.

"That's the case, after careful research, I found that the windless belt is actually a real undeveloped treasure trove, and there are many islands in the windless belt, and the simple development is to open mines, find gold, silver, iron and other minerals, and then organize people to excavate, develop them, and sell them, and at the same time, our navy can also save a lot of money on these minerals, and strive to be self-sufficient." Diarmuid spoke.

"Kind of makes sense." The Steel-Bone Marshal said softly.

The navy needs all kinds of metals to build bases, repair bases, make guns, make knives, make ammunition, make guns, and so on, and these are very huge expenditures in the entire naval system.

If we could be self-sufficient by developing windless belts, we would be able to save a lot of money.

If you can still be rich and sell it to the outside world, you can make a lot of money, no matter how you think about it, you will not lose money.

This alone was enough to make the marshal of the steel skeleton pay attention to it, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anything else?" "

"Yes, nowadays, the shipbuilding industry is also facing a shortage of materials, I have studied, the capital of seven waters, every year to buy a large amount of wood, and want to build warships and other large warships, the wood needed for the year and quality hardness and the like, have extremely high requirements, so the cost in this regard, is very huge, and there is no wind zone, for thousands of years, few people have been active, a large number of islands, there are quite rich wood, we can organize people to cut down, once it is transported, it is also profitable, and at the same time take this as a breakthrough, Perhaps we can subtly control the supply of materials upstream of the world-famous shipbuilding city of the Seven Waters, and minimize the cost of building warships. Diarmuid said again.

The marshal of the steel bones touched his chin, and his eyes shone brightly, which made sense.

In fact, what Diarmuid said does not sound particularly difficult to understand now.

This so-called development is not the bells and whistles he imagined, it is very simple.

Just open hard, there is mining for mining, and there is no mine for cutting down trees!

It's very rude, but on the contrary, under this hard-open mode, the navy can earn great profits and reduce huge expenses, which is quite suitable.

Before, why didn't anyone think of it?

After thinking about it, the marshal of the steel bones felt that it should be inertial thinking, for thousands of years, because of the particularity of the windless zone, there was a bit of a forbidden feeling, so the two windless belts in the north and south were almost inaccessible and belonged to the forgotten area.

The navy, on its part, is already a militarized organization, and it will not think about such developmental issues when it is not in their spare time.

So such a simple thing, no one thought of it.

Thanks to this guy Diarmuid's thinking and imagination, he discovered this good plan.

didn't wait for the marshal of the steel skeleton to figure this matter through.

Diarmuid continued: "The last and most critical point is that the special environment of the windless zone has created a natural shielding here, and almost no one will notice this, if we take the initiative to block the relevant information, I am afraid that the world government will not receive the news..."

As soon as Diarmud's words fell, the steel marshal suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Diarmud, be cautious, don't slander at will!" "

"Yes, Marshal, I know, isn't that just for you?" Diarmuid said with a smile.

The steel marshal was a little complicated in his heart, but he did ask with some emotion: "Tell me a little deeper?" "

"The above has been using military spending and other related means to restrain our navy, plus the world government is indeed a little greedy, so once the development of the windless belt has achieved results, if it is discovered by the above, this kind of thing will inevitably be taken into their hands, and our navy will have to stand aside in this matter in the future, which is completely not in the interests of our navy!" Diarmuid said unceremoniously.

The Steel-Skeleton Marshal was shocked, and he already understood what Diarmuid meant.

At the same time, thinking about it according to Diarmud's line of thought, there is no problem at all, he has been working under the banner of the world government for so many years, and the marshal of the steel skeleton knows what the people above think and what style of action.

If the huge interests of the windless belt were seen by them, they would definitely be taken away from the navy.

It wasn't what he wanted to see.

"Fortunately, there is a closed loop now, as long as we are careful, we should still be able to hide it, and these can be digested by our navy in a short period of time, even if it is developed, at the beginning, the output that can be obtained is estimated to be not enough for our navy to digest itself, so in a short period of time, there is no need to sell it to the outside world, only to the greatest extent, reduce military spending, which is also more convenient for us to keep a low profile and not be discovered by the above, and the saved military spending can be used to better enhance armaments... If we open a gold mine, we will be even more profitable, and we will have an additional source of hidden income. Diarmuid said in a deep voice.

"What is a closed loop?" Marshal Steelbold asked again.

In the second half of the sentence, he understood, that is, even if the windless belt is developed like this, the initial output can be digested by the navy, and there is no need to sell it, so it will reduce a lot of commercial traces, and it is not easy for the world government to find out, as long as they have the intention to hide it, it is possible to hide it for three or five years, or even ten years.

This is already an extremely large profit, and the marshal is very impressed.

But what the closed loop meant, he didn't understand.

"The closed loop is that these development behaviors can be carried out within our navy, without the need to use external resources, my current idea is to use my G-7 as an outpost, and the prisoners of Impelton under the command of the headquarters as the main force of development, so that from development to internal digestion, everything can go from within our navy, without the help of any external forces, and the concealment is higher, just need to find a few people who can be trusted enough, and the key points of the card owner." Diarmuid said with a smile.

Marshal Steel's eyes lit up, yes, if you don't want to be discovered by the world government, the best way is to reduce the traces of leakage.

According to Diarmuid's statement, as long as you find a few generals who trust enough, arrange the key position of the card owner, and then everything can be circulated and digested within the navy, from development to use, there is no trace of leakage, then it will be difficult for the world government to find out their actions in the windless zone.

How much do you have to save? If you're really lucky enough to open a gold mine, then...

Marshal Steelbold didn't plan to rebel against the world government or anything, but if he had the opportunity to make huge profits for the navy, he wouldn't miss it!

"Great idea!" Marshal Steelbold praised.

"Thank you Marshal for the compliment, originally I thought that once this side starts to act and gradually gets on the right track, more and more labor will be needed in the future, because the number of prisoners in Pelton may not be enough for us to consume, but now, the sea is in chaos, Marshal, those who are swarming here are not only pirates, but also the labor force of our navy, think about it this way, isn't it a lot happier? Is the motivation to arrest them getting stronger and stronger? Diarmuid laughed.

As soon as Marshal Steelbone heard this, the depression in his heart instantly decreased.

It makes sense, according to Diarmud's idea, the resources needed to supply the navy in the future are massive, which will inevitably require a large number of people to develop, and it is possible to fill in 100,000, 200,000, or even more labor.

The number of prisoners that Impelton can release now is far from meeting the needs of the navy, let alone the fact that it will be developed in large quantities in the future and sold to the outside world for profit.

How do you get that manpower?

First of all, for the sake of secrecy, it must not be outsourced, and it must be used with forces that are completely under the control of the Navy.

And slaves or something, with the justice of the navy, don't think about it, it's not within the scope of acceptance.

Now think about it, where are the pirates swarming on the sea?

Aren't they all 'our own people' in the Navy?

"It makes sense, since they dare to go to sea to be pirates, then don't blame our navy for being polite, I will give the marshal's order, if you can capture them alive, try to capture them alive, these bastards, put them on the sea as a disaster, it is better to send them to the windless zone to open mines, and contribute to the justice of our navy!" Marshal Steelbone said without hesitation.

Now that I think about it, Roger's bastard started this era of pirates seems to be beneficial to the navy.

If it weren't for him, how could there be so many pirates? In particular, the quality of pirates is still very low, and the quantity is huge.

Now, most of these pirates, who were originally disgusted by the navy, are fragrant and sweet.

Thinking of this, the Steel-Bone Marshal still felt a little incredible.

Is this a capture of slaves under the banner of justice?

But in the next second, he dispelled this thought.

Just kidding, our navy is to eliminate harm for the people and uphold justice, how can it be compared with dirty slave traders?
