Pirates: Honest Men in the Navy

Chapter 498: Louis resigned as admiral, and Warring States resigned as marshal.

Basically, two major events took place in 1517 of the Haiyuan calendar.

The first major event is that the world conference that lasted for nearly half a year has finally come to an end.

220 countries around the world have chosen to join this new system, and all the rules and regulations have been effectively improved.

From a global perspective, after the completion of this new power organization, it has been effective in restoring order to a certain extent in the entire world.

Moreover, the organization's high efficiency and cleanliness in its initial stage have improved the poor lives of most people at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First of all, countries no longer have to pay their share of taxes to the world government as in the past.

Now, it has been changed to the form of 'membership dues', and it is not fixed and unified, but is classified according to the size and comprehensive strength of the country.

Big countries and superpowers naturally have to pay more dues. Relatively speaking, small countries that are poor, weak, and less powerful naturally have their own payment standards.

Although the amount of dues is different, because of this, the sharing of power is also different.

After all, strength is one of the benchmarks for supporting the right to speak. Small countries are weak and do not pay much dues. Therefore, in the convention organization, the power they hold is naturally incomparable with that of major countries.

If a big country is strong and pays enough dues, the power it shares will naturally be greater.

Under this gap, small countries will also work hard to improve their overall strength, strive to pay more membership fees as soon as possible, and enjoy more rights and so on.

Of course, in this case, it is normal for unfairness to occur. However, the Convention Organization is still in its infancy stage. Everyone is very patient and is looking for problems, discovering them, and solving them.

Once something happens that shouldn't happen, we will work together to solve these problems.

Strive to make this convention organization more perfect.

Without the heavy tax payment, coupled with the extinction of the worm class like the Celestial Dragons, the New Joint Convention Organization will naturally not collect any huge amounts of heavenly money.

Without the heavy burden of heavenly gold, the financial level of each country will naturally reduce the pressure, and the burden on the domestic people will of course also shrink along with it.

When the burden is reduced, it means an improvement in living standards.

At this stage, the new joint organization is also vigorously engaged in infrastructure construction.

That's right, speaking of it, the new joint organization does not have much jurisdiction over the internal affairs of various countries, which is completely different from the arrogant situation in the world government system where life and death are controlled by one hand.

It is precisely because of this situation that its influence on various countries will not be as huge as that of previous world governments.

This situation has both good and bad aspects, but it is certainly a good thing for joint organizations to naturally enhance their influence.

So under the leadership of Queen Stussi, with the assistance of Dorag, and with the endorsement of the Navy.

The New Joint Convention Organization is vigorously developing infrastructure issues in various countries, such as the laying of sea trains. It must be connected. It hopes to connect all large islands and realize a pan-world sea train network.

At that time, the tickets alone will bring huge profits to the new organization. At the same time, controlling a large number of train routes will naturally exert a lot of influence on various countries.

In addition, there are shipyards, joint organization of new caravans, and a series of other means and plans.

Louis was among them and contributed many ideas and opinions.

In his view, violence is now in the hands of the navy. It is obviously inappropriate for the new joint organization to use this kind of violent means to subdue various countries. Previously, the world's governments followed this route, and facts have proved that they Downfall.

Therefore, if you want to strengthen your influence on various countries, it is best to use cultural and economic means to do things. Soft export is the last word.

All in all, the newly established 'United Pan-Universal Convention Organization' is in a prosperous mood. Although there are many problems, everyone is moving forward with hope.

The reputation is also very good.

This is the first major event that occurred during the 1517th year of the Haiyuan calendar.

And the second major event during the period.

It was the pirate extermination operation and war launched by the Navy in the New World, which basically lasted for more than a year.

Yes, more than a year seems very procrastinating.

But the battle situation was very advantageous. If the outcome of the war was really judged as a conclusion, the war should have ended long ago, because from the beginning, there was no possibility of the navy being defeated.

The reason why the war was delayed until 1518 and the war was not completely over was because of the word "purge".

This time Marshal Sengoku was also cruel. Although the navy could never eradicate all pirates, this time Marshal Sengoku planned to suppress the pirates in the New World to an extreme low, and he must give them at least 30 years of reprieve. Don't get angry.

Therefore, the strategic plan carried out by the navy is to capture an island, stabilize an island, and wipe out all pirate forces on the island.

It is advancing slowly but steadily.

Step by step, they are eroding the living space of the pirates in the New World.

At present, it is a very correct strategic plan.

Moreover, this steady plan of conquering an island, occupying and controlling an island has also brought a lot of benefits to the navy, which can be regarded as a war dividend.

In addition, the New United Convention Organization has also received huge rewards, but all unclaimed lands captured by the Navy will be received by the New United Convention Organization and the Navy.

This further strengthens the ties and community of interests between the two parties.

It’s something that benefits both parties.

Having said this, we have to mention a huge shortcoming of the previous world governments, that is, they basically had no real 'territory'.

Relying on the power of the navy and Marigio's legal rationality to suppress the entire world, its own comprehensive strength is not special, but a complex formed by exploiting other countries.

To put it simply, except for places like Marie Joa and the Chambord Islands, there is no real concept of 'territory' in the hands of the world government.

Without much territory, it is naturally impossible to create profits, so it can only rely on exploiting other countries to maintain the situation.

Dorag has already understood this drawback, and Louis is certainly the same.

Therefore, the new joint treaty organization may not need to form a super large archipelago, but it still needs a certain directly administered territory as its basic base.

Many islands in the New World have been turned into unclaimed lands by pirates during many years of chaos, especially places like Totlan Wanguo, not to mention.

These places are now either occupied by the navy and used to build a new world naval base layout network, or they are taken over by the new joint treaty organization and used as a basic base to build and cultivate stable and fixed benefits.

In February of the year 1518 of the Hainan calendar, with the destruction of the 'straw hat pirates' remnants' that had been wandering in the New World for many years, the acting captain Jesus Bu was killed by Porusalino, and the New World Naval Operations also entered a relative phase. In a relaxed state.

The destruction of the remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates symbolizes the complete destruction of the last 'big' pirate group with certain strength in the New World. There will be no greater threat to the Navy in the New World.

Therefore, after the remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates were destroyed, the navy's big bosses also evacuated the New World. All three generals returned to Marineland, as did the navy marshal.

Now those who continue to act in the new world are the various naval vice admirals and rear admirals.

Plans for a large number of new naval bases have begun to unfold. By building new, dense naval bases, the entire new world must be firmly in the hands of the navy.

In July of 1518, the New World War, which lasted for more than a year and a half, finally came to an end. The impact of this war that changed the entire world structure was undoubtedly very profound.

First of all, the end of this war represents the complete end of the so-called 'Great Pirate Age' that began in 1500.

And the dispute in the academic world officially began.

Whether the past 18 years should be defined as the 'Age of Great Pirates' or the 'Age of Great Navy' has been a heated academic competition over concepts.

Over the past year or so, the new generation of the Navy has also emerged in the war, and the most dazzling among them is a guy named Portcas D. Ace.

He is the adopted grandson of the hero Lieutenant General Garp and the direct descendant of General Akainu Sakaski.

Regardless of life experience, background, resources, talents, talents or hard work, he has everything, and he has naturally become one of the leaders of the new generation of navy.

At the end of the war, Monkey D. Luffy, the son of the Secretary-General of the New United Convention Organization, Monkey D. Drago, and the grandson of the heroic Lieutenant General Garp, also joined the war, and his performance was also quite eye-catching. , Momo Fruit lives up to its reputation.

After that, the talented navigator Nami, the new generation of the navy's first swordsman Kuina, Ace's girlfriend Ain, and other new stars began to appear one after another.

The navy of a new era will also look like stars shining brightly.

At the end of 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar.

Navy Headquarters Marine Fando.

In Louis' courtyard.

The former navy admiral was currently practicing calligraphy.

There was a large table in the yard, covered with a layer of white paper. Louis was holding a brush in his hand and was writing something.

Yes, it's a former admiral.

At the beginning of 1518, after the New World War entered an easy stage, Louis returned to Marineventor and decisively resigned from the position of Admiral.

According to the normal procedure, like Teacher Zefa, he retained the rank of general but was relieved of his corresponding duties.

However, Teacher Zefa also served as the principal of a military academy, while Louis had nothing.

Apart from the rank of general, he has no real power at all.

The Marshal of the Warring States Period invited him to hold some important second-line positions many times, but Louis firmly refused. He just refused to do it anyway!

If he didn't want to get a retirement salary and maintain the benefits of living in Marineland, Louis wouldn't even want to retain the rank of general.

After Louis left, the new general he appointed was, as expected, Gion.

Gion has no reason to refuse at all, and she is not as good as Louis. She also hopes to become a general, achieve the goal of a female general, and have a good battle of wits and courage with that vixen Stussy.

Coupled with her outstanding qualifications and strength, Porusalino and Yixiao chose not to participate in the competition, so she had no competition at all.

Former General Louis also expressed his support very clearly.

Naturally, no one had trouble with Gion, and she naturally became the new admiral.

After Louis left office, he lived in seclusion in Marineland and stopped running around. He spent a lot of his free time cultivating his sentiments and artistic skills.

For example, calligraphy.

And his calligraphy teacher was none other than Navy Marshal Sengoku.

"What you wrote is wrong. This hook should be more decisive and neat."

The Warring States Marshal glanced at Louis' handwriting and commented.

The Warring States Marshal himself was a master of calligraphy. He was the No. 1 calligrapher in the navy and was at a very high level. He was more than capable of teaching Louis.

"Is this so? I'll be more careful next time."

Louis nodded in response, and while writing, he seemed to think of something again, and asked:

"By the way, Marshal, you are about to step down from office. Why do you still have time to watch me practice calligraphy?"

"Everything that needs to be explained has been given to Sakaski."

The Warring States Marshal stared at Louis' writing and said without raising his head.

That's right, the New World War has come to an end, the era of great pirates has completely ended, and the Warring States Marshal has also fulfilled his lifelong wish. He is not a person who is greedy for power.

Therefore, he retreated bravely. At this peak moment, he chose to step down as marshal of the navy and prepared to take up the post of chief inspector of the navy according to his original plan.

In fact, according to his current prestige in the world and the navy, even if he occupies the position of marshal for another 50 years, it is estimated that no one can easily shake him.

"is it?"

Louis didn't care much about this. The Warring States Marshal resigned as he expected.

Just as the two were chatting without a word, Sakaski's figure walked in from outside the courtyard.
