Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

Within a month, Im was reading the annual report that Wulaoxing had just sent over, the full name of which was the ‘World Government Annual Work Report for the Year 1497’.

To be honest, his predecessor would never have looked at such a thing, because to him, both the World Government and the Celestial Dragons were just tools to control the entire planet.

He firmly believes that his own strength and the 'national treasure' in his hands are enough to suppress the entire sea.

The key is that this is not the case for my new self. As a time traveler, I know the importance of tools and my own strength is important, but making tools more useful does not conflict with the former, right?

Therefore, the role of this report is to first understand the specific conditions of the tool in hand.

The report contains a lot of content. Im counted fifty or sixty pages. Even so, he could only read it one by one patiently.

The whole process took more than three hours, because he needed to read and think at the same time, and he had to stop and read it again and again from time to time.

To be honest, it's quite boring, but it's not difficult if you have previous work experience. Plus, he keeps reminding himself that these are his own forces and industries, so he's very motivated.

"call----"

Finally, Im finished reading the last report, put it on the coffee table, and exhaled a long breath.

It's not that he is physically exhausted. After all, the workload is insignificant given his strength. It's just that the amount of information received is a bit large.

As I said before, my predecessor didn't read these things at all, so the content written in the report was basically unfamiliar information to him. In addition, the size of the world government was far beyond what the previous small companies could compare with.

In general, the areas he is most concerned about have been clarified, and it has also given him a more specific understanding of the world government.

The first is the financial aspect. Last year’s total revenue was 784.3 billion beli. The main income came from the heavenly gold paid by the franchised countries, and some minor ones. The total revenue was about 3 trillion beri. channel.

There are now 170 participating countries under the World Government, and according to regulations, each country must hand over 30 billion beli.

In other words, including the income from secondary channels, there should be 810 billion Baileys every year!

But now only 784,300,000 beli have been received.

This shows that some countries did not hand over the heavenly gold or paid part of the heavenly gold less, resulting in a shortfall of nearly 260 billion beli.

According to the practice in previous years, the world government will reprimand those countries that have underpaid and require them to make up the shortfall next year, while those countries that have not paid will be given a one-year deadline.

If the heavenly gold is not handed over in the next year, the army will be dispatched to escort all citizens of the country, including the royal family and nobles, to 'Techila Wolf' in the East China Sea, which is also known as the country of workers. , build a lifelong bridge in the land of bridges.

As for the previous countries that have less money, if they do not make up the shortfall in the second year, then the royal family will have to replace them!

"This is not okay, we can't go on like this..."

Im leaned on the soft sofa and pondered. In his opinion, this issue was very important, and its importance was no less than that of the slave trade.

Each franchised country has 30 billion Baileys per year, which is nothing to big and rich countries such as Alabasta, Fishman Island, Dressrosa, and the Gothic Kingdom. Even the Drum Kingdom can benefit from the medical power of the country. The reputation must be handed over in full, but for a small and poor country like the Sorbey Kingdom, the pressure is too great and can even be fatal.

What is the concept of 30 billion Baileys?

The cost of building a large warship of the headquarters level is 300 million beli, and the cost of a future pacifist is 100 million beli.

In other words, a joining country must hand over wealth worth one hundred large warships or three hundred pacifists every year!

Let’s look at spending.

Last year, the navy's military expenditure was nearly three trillion beli, ranging from the salaries, benefits, and meals of the entire navy to firearms, artillery, warships, and bounties.

But this is not fixed, sometimes it will be less, sometimes it will be more, it depends purely on the situation at sea.

As for the Army, it also needs an unbreakable 700 billion Baileys every year.

In addition, CIPHER POL, which is responsible for the espionage work of all sea areas, all franchised countries, and even non-franchised countries, also needs one trillion beli, which shows how big its scale is.

Then there are the wages, food and maintenance fees of Impel Down City, which are nearly 800 billion beli.

Finally, the world government's clerks and the Judiciary Island add up to less than 500 billion beli.

It can be seen how contemptuous the previous Yimu and Wulaoxing were towards government and legal personnel.

These require actual expenditures, which add up to about 6 trillion beli. What about the remaining treasure worth more than 1.8 trillion beli?

Put them all into Mary Joa's treasure house for the Celestial Dragons to spend and enjoy at will!

"The collected heavenly gold completely exceeds the actual demand..." Im muttered to himself.

If it is just to ensure the quality of life of the Tianlong people, where is the need for so much wealth? Twenty billion beli every year is enough to enjoy the highest standard of things, right?

"To reduce it, we must reduce the amount of heavenly gold. It is best to charge flexibly in proportion according to the situation of each country!"

But he also knew that he couldn't rush this matter. This year's World Conference was about to be held, and if everything was put on the table, it would definitely cause chaos.

"First, let CIPHER POL check which participating countries have too much money in the sky, causing people to live in poverty, and then find out whether it is really unbearable for the whole country, or whether it is because the royal family of the country allocates it to the citizens!"

"Those that are really unaffordable for the whole country can be like the bear's Sobel Kingdom, where the amount of heavenly gold can be appropriately reduced to ensure that they can basically survive."

Im has already decided on the topic for the next world conference.

Then he picked up another report, which mainly contained information on the three armies. The so-called three armies, namely the navy, the army and the Holy Land garrison.

The Army is responsible for guarding the important facilities of the World Government and the entire Red Earth Continent. According to the current World Government laws, civilians are prohibited from coming up without permission, but some people just want to come up. So they need to be cleared out.

The Holy Land Guards, as the name suggests, is mainly responsible for guarding Mary Joa. If the Celestial Dragons want to 'go down to earth' to play, they also need to send people to follow them.

Im doesn't care about these two troops now. There may be big moves in the future.

navy.

According to the report, the total strength of the navy is three million. The naval headquarters of the Grand Line and all G departments add up to about one million. The other four seas have a total of two million, but it is not even. For example, the East China Sea is the most peaceful, and there are relatively few.

In fact, the participating countries have their own armies, and the navy only needs to be responsible for order at sea, so there are no excessive troop requirements.

Their main need is warships!

Until now, the Navy has a total of 1,000 headquarters-level large warships, of which 100 are permanently stationed at the Navy Headquarters and the remaining 900 are scattered among various G departments.

It's still the same, it's not an even distribution. Relatively speaking, the G base of the 'New World' definitely needs more warships. After all, they are facing the most vicious and powerful pirate force.

Then there are about 4,000 branch-level small warships, and the most terrifying war behemoth-level warships, which specialize in serving the Demon-Slaying Order, have always maintained a scale of fifty!

"No wonder Wulaoxing and the others have been suppressing the development of the navy. Whether it is military strength or authority, it is indeed a bit too big..." Im murmured thoughtfully.

"We certainly cannot use the navy at this stage, but we do need to find ways to balance it in the future."
