Pirates: This navy is too stable

After a busy morning, Lin frowned while looking at the notebook.

There are really too many things that need to be modified on this warship. If the modification is really carried out according to the best modification plan, Linn will probably go bankrupt.

"The money spent on modifications can buy a few pieces of this broken boat, but this plan won't work."

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone bug started chirping.

"Hey, okay, um, I'll be right over."

Linn hung up the phone and glanced at the top of the branch. Unexpectedly, it was Lieutenant General Terrence calling.

"From his tone, it seems there is something important. Let's go and take a look."

Lin En put down his notebook and got up to go to the branch.

The military port is still very lively. Like other ports, the military port also has a large number of merchants.

But they don't sell items, they sell various firearms, swords, and some strange equipment.

Linn once even saw a devil fruit seller.

Of course, their business scope is still some distance from where the warships are parked, and there are a lot of guards on duty.

As for why Terrence allowed them to do business here, Linn couldn't figure it out either.

"Sell the gun. Sell the gun. The legendary gun that defeated the Cross Pirates! It's not expensive and easy to use!"

"Oh, brother, your gun is rusty. Are you sure you defeated Cross?"

"Hey, this big brother has a keen eye for pearls. Come and take a look. This rusty man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve..."

"The secret book for practicing the Sixth Form of the Navy, the true biography of the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp!"

"The best Neptune meat. Smell it to strengthen your body. Eat a piece and you will be as brave as a god."

"..."

Lin En walked through the market, and the sound of hawking could be heard all the time, giving it a very market-like atmosphere.

There are also a large number of sailors who choose their favorite weapons here, but there are more complaints than purchases.

Because the merchants are residents of surrounding islands and towns, their supply of goods is not exquisite, so they have a large number of inferior products.

But there are always sailors who find good things among these rags, which is also the magical aspect of the market.

Lin En suspected that someone had tampered with it. Whenever the market reputation collapsed, some good products would always emerge to bring back the market's popularity.

In order to find good things, the sailors would go to the market again to buy.

Just like this, a market where 90% of the goods are junk goods can still last for a long time, and the vendors can still make money.

Thinking about it, Linn had already passed through the market, crossed the branch avenue, and arrived at the steps of the branch building.

The g9 branch building is not as grand as the other branch buildings, and its appearance is in bad shape. I don’t know how many years ago it was last painted.

There are very few stairs. After walking up 10 steps, we reached the hall. There was no one else in the hall except two navy men standing guard. There were no decorations and it looked very empty.

The most outrageous thing is that the ten-story building doesn't even have an elevator.

According to Lieutenant General Terrence, "You are all soldiers, can't you even climb ten flights of stairs? Even I, an old man in his 70s, can climb it!"

So Lin En could only climb to the tenth floor step by step.

Although the tenth floor is not very high, the branch building is located at the highest point of the military port, so the field of view is extremely wide and you can see every part of the military port.

"Coming?" Mr. Terrence stood in the corridor with a pot of tea and looked down at the military port.

"Old man, why don't you install an elevator in the branch? You can't handle going up and down the stairs like this," Lin En complained.

"Hahaha." Terrence laughed after hearing this, "It's relatively easy to climb the stairs. Let's not talk about it anymore and let's talk about some serious business with you."

"You say."

While talking, Linn strode to Terrence's side, leaned down and took a sip of the teacup in Terrence's hand.

"Hmm! The tea smells so fragrant."

"I want to drink tea, but I didn't drink it for you." Terrence said and handed the teacup to Linn, "But you must listen to what I say and don't run away. This matter is very important!"

Linn glanced at Terrence. The old man looked very calm today, without his usual angry aura.

But the more things go like this, the more things happen. I have worked with the old man for two years, and I still don’t know his habits.

This made Linn a little nervous.

"I heard that you promised Crane to help Gion carry out his mission?"

"Yes."

"I also gave you a military expenditure of 100 million beli."

Lin En raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea silently, and then thought about whether to tell the truth, because this old guy often cheated money from him.

"Stop hiding it, it won't be confiscated this time." Terrence said helplessly.

"real?"

"real."

"Well, Lieutenant General He did give me 100 million, but it was just to increase my equipment."

"That's good, then I don't need to give you any extra money for this mission."

"More money?" Lin En heard other meanings from this sentence.

"Old man, is there any new situation when you called me here this time?" Lin En asked immediately.

Terrence nodded, "After you rejected Gion that night, I invited a team of professional investigators from my headquarters. Now I have obtained some intelligence, and the situation is a bit serious."

Seeing that Lin En did not speak, Terrence continued: "The first impression given by this wave of pirates is that there is only one group of people. However, after our analysis and comparison of the injured people and various information, we have concluded that this wave of pirates

There are at least 6 groups!”

"Six groups of people!?" Lin En was very surprised, and the difficulty soon skyrocketed.

"Yes, if there was only one group of pirates, the officers would not be injured so frequently. And it is precisely because they have many companions that they can inform each other about the location of the navy, and then take action against the lone navy."

"This also explains why the other party can frequently escape from our high-level combat forces. It is not only because their ships run fast, but also because they commit crimes in a group, with intelligence exchange, and the navy's every move is clear."

"Then we can't ask for help from our headquarters and send people to encircle and suppress them?"

Terrence shook his head, "The battle between the Golden Lion and Roger is not over yet. A large number of elites have been transferred to the new world and have no time to take care of the branches."

"So this time we can only solve it ourselves. The most important thing is that Major General Bruno and I have also been notified that we will leave for the New World in the afternoon."

"I'm very worried about this place."

"You want to go too!"

To be honest, now that the navy is heading to the new world, Linn feels a little itchy. If he could witness the battle between the Golden Lion and Roger, it would be a waste of his status as a naval fan.

But even if you want to go to war to maintain peace in the new world, it is too dangerous and goes against the belief of safety.

"Yeah, Bruno and I are going too, so I'm worried about the branch. Look at how prosperous the military port is and how many people support their families by working here."

"Whether they are sailors, traders, or fishermen, they are all ordinary residents in this age of pirates."

"In order to have food to eat and support their families, they work early in the morning and come home late, fighting on the front line regardless of their own risks. All they need is to be able to live here stably."

"So Lynn, can you bear to let them be displaced?"

Terrence's face was full of sadness.

"Huh?" Lin En felt that something was wrong the more he listened, and the topic seemed to be getting more and more off-topic.

"What... does this have any direct connection with me?" Linn said warily, fearing that Terrence, an old man, would lead him into a trap.

"Of course! More than half of g9's officers are seriously injured. The remaining colonels and lieutenant colonels are now exhausted, and the other side can still avoid them. If we leave and g9 does not have high combat effectiveness, I don't know how things will develop.

."

"It is very likely that when I come back, the g9 military port will no longer be as prosperous as it was."

"The residents who have finally settled here will also lose their homes."

Terrence looked down at the military port and said with emotion.

Linn's face twisted into a twist. Is Terrence confused? What are he talking about...

"Lynn, when I tell you this, I actually want to tell you that the fate of g9 lies in the hands of you and Gion."

“!!!!”

Lin En didn't understand how the fate of g9 was in his hands while drinking tea!

Terrence, are you confused?!
