One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army

Roya's order was quickly passed down, and the 1,500 core members of the revolutionary army immediately took action. They had already basically gained control of the rebels in most areas, and now they were just further deepening their control.

This was not a difficult task for them. These revolutionary army members were the best of the best, having experienced the Lubni workers' movement, the Freifans incident, and the liberation struggles in Chundudi and Maquya. In terms of both combat strength and leadership, they were clearly superior to the local forces in the East China Sea region.

Fujitora stood behind Roya and couldn't help but sigh: "The corruption and degeneration of human nature is coming so quickly." He just learned that among these corrupt and degenerate local uprising leaders, ten of them came from the original "Uncertainty Terminal".

For Fujitora, "Uncertainty Terminal" is a nostalgic emotional filter in his heart. Although those days were extremely difficult, it was the place where he established his beliefs for the future and was ready to give everything for it. "Some people choose to be corrupted, but others are still holding on. This is normal. People are always changing. Today is different from the past, not to mention compared with a few years ago."

"We are making choices every moment, and if we make the wrong choice, we might become a completely different person." For example, those members of the Revolutionary Army who came out of the "Terminus of Uncertainty" and later followed the main unit to Frevans and Marijoa basically did not degenerate.

However, if this corrupt revolutionary army unit had also gone to Lubni and Freifans, perhaps the result would have been different. In this regard, Roya's eyes flashed with a deep and determined light, and he said: "What we need to do is to minimize the occurrence of this kind of corruption and degeneration."

"We must not only have the loftiest ideals, but also the strictest disciplines." He looked into the distance, as if he was talking to the people around him, or to himself silently: "In the past, we focused on the global strategic layout and relaxed local control, but it is not too late to discover this problem now. Once a problem is discovered, it must be investigated and resolved in a timely manner."

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep have been lost." Long looked at Luo Ya and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the current situation made him feel frustrated, as long as Luo Ya was there, it seemed that any problem could be solved.

Roya said: "I have experience with many such things, but it is too early to talk about it now. Without investigation, I have no right to speak, and I cannot repeat the mistakes of empiricism." In fact, similar things have happened in his world, and he has always been highly vigilant about it.

However, as he said, too much attention was paid to the central government and the world, but effective constraints on local forces were ignored, so that local forces are now far off the right track. Fortunately, he chose to come here when the World Government was about to launch a military operation in the East China Sea. Otherwise, the East China Sea uprising army might have been easily wiped out by the World Government. In addition to the East China Sea, there are three other seas that need to be dealt with urgently.

"Let's go. It will take some time for the World Government's army to arrive here. We still have some time to do some field research here." Luo Ya said calmly. This time, he decided to do the research himself because he was worried that others might not be able to get all the details.

This investigation is extremely important, and only he can personally lead it to ensure that it is foolproof. When they heard that Roya was going to conduct the investigation himself, Long and Aokiji's eyes lit up. They were all familiar with the ideological books within the Revolutionary Army, especially Roya's initial research report on the Goa Kingdom, which was hailed as a model of research.

After the investigation in Goa Kingdom, Roya seldom participated in such work personally, after all, human energy is limited. Now they have the opportunity to study with Roya, which is an extremely valuable experience for them. Roya arranged Fujitora to stay here and gave him the order to retreat at the critical moment.

Although it is judged from experience that it will take some time for the navy to completely pacify the areas around large cities, it is still necessary to prevent unexpected situations. With Fujitora and Mori's perseverance, plus the intelligence personnel scattered outside, they can evacuate in advance before the arrival of the World Government's army.

When leaving, Long asked Roya: "Are we not going to defend this city?" Roya shook his head: "We can't defend it. Time is too tight. There are too many problems with the local armed uprisings. Now we can only use space to buy time. First, find a way to reorganize the armed forces in various places, and then start a strategic confrontation with the World Government."

Roya knew that he was not a god, and the Revolutionary Army was not composed of all great generals. Facing the overwhelming force of the World Government, they could not fight head-on. Now, the World Government's army was in full swing, and the Revolutionary Army could only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

Can a solution really be found? He doesn't hold out much hope. Not only He, but anyone who has led troops or fought in a war may not be optimistic about the current situation.

The war is imminent, and it is no longer possible to imagine that we will suddenly have a powerful army that can compete with it. In fact, we need to rectify a local armed force that is full of problems and unfamiliar, or even a large number of such forces. Every local armed force in the East China Sea needs to be comprehensively rectified, which is an extremely heavy task.

If these people are integrated, there may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of them. How can they be rectified and to what extent can they be rectified? The Organ Islands are close to the Kingdom of Goa, and they are so corrupt and degenerate. What about places far away from the Organ Islands?

Guerrilla tactics are indeed a very effective tactic against powerful enemy forces, but they are not invincible. As the Chief of the Navy General Staff, He has a unique and sharp vision. She clearly sees that guerrilla tactics require grassroots organizational capabilities and loyalty far beyond the quality of any current military, and also require the support of a strong intelligence system. Otherwise, the guerrilla forces will be like headless flies, not only failing to harass the enemy, but will be directly destroyed by the enemy.

However, these qualities and intelligence systems are simply not what local armed forces can possess. Not to mention the intelligence system, the CP organization has deployed a large number of agents in the East China Sea region. He simply couldn't imagine how Luoya established an intelligence network that surpassed the CP organization.

【Life is so annoying.】

[In this desolate and dilapidated land, two peasant women wearing rough headscarves and slightly dirty clothes complained, their eyes full of numb acceptance of life. ]

[That’s right, I don’t even want to use mouthwash. ]

[An old man with white hair and beard sat alone in an empty house, covering his eyes with his hands, but tears still flowed down his face.]

[Everyone says that although the navy is not very good, the Guyi army is not much better than them. ]

“I’m so hungry.”

[“All the food was taken away by Guy’s army.”]

[Yes, it is the Guyi Army. They act recklessly and make everyone unhappy.]

【Everyone was talking about it, saying that the Qiyi army brought war and suffering. 】

[“It should be called the Revolutionary Army.”]

[A group of children in ragged clothes gathered together. Their faces did not have the smiles that their peers should have, but were filled with disgust and powerless but uncontrollable anger.]

[This anger and disgust made them confused and at the same time, they felt destructive deep in their hearts.]

[But, to whom should I vent this anger? ]

[It is precisely because they caused the turmoil in Baiguo Qiyi, what exactly did they bring to the people of this land? 】

[Revolution, revolution, is it really for the sake of war? ]

[“When the Qii Army was first established, it was indeed good. It overthrew the nobles and reduced a lot of taxes.”]

"But soon they started adding new taxes, and everyone's burden became heavier and heavier."

[“Add to that the war they started, and life is getting worse day by day.”]

[“The original intentions of the Revolutionary Army, including the emancipation of slaves and the Kai Movement, were good, but now it seems that they have already deviated from their original goals.”]

[“Anything is fine, as long as the war ends quickly.”]

[The words of adults are always full of heaviness. They carry most of the burdens in life.]

[Though the few who saw things more clearly understood the original intentions of the revolutionary army, they also became increasingly disgusted with this war.]

[“Who can truly understand our suffering?”]

[The ragged people asked questions, as if they were questioning everything around them, but also as if they were questioning the world. ]

[I don't want to succumb to fate, but I can't do anything about it. 】

[The strong can bully the weak as they please, but who can the weak rely on? ]

[The curtain of war was drawn, and various forces took turns to take the stage, treating the general public as consumables and supplies of war. Who really respected them? ]

“I understand how you feel.”

[Facing these people, Luo Ya wanted to say this, but he opened his mouth but didn't say it in the end. ]

[He had said this with confidence countless times in Goa, Lubni, Frevans, and even in Water 7 when facing Roger and Tom.]

[But it is not possible now. The Baiguo Qiyi Rebellion was caused by him. The cadres of the revolutionary army were corrupted and degenerate in the local struggle. This is a fact. The hardship brought to the people will eventually be borne by him. ]

[“I’m sorry.” Luo Ya said solemnly with a serious expression.]

[This is his apology for the suffering he brought to the people, and also his acknowledgment of the difficulties he brought to them in the process of leading Baiguo Qiyi. ]

【"everything will get better."】

This is his promise to ordinary people.

[After saying this, he slammed the notebook shut, turned to Long and gestured to leave.]

[“Have you completed the research, Mr. Roya?” Aokiji’s voice sounded very heavy. ]

[This survey exposed the suffering of the people and the tragedy brought by the war to Aokiji, and for this compassionate person, he felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.]

[“The research is over.” Compared to Aokiji’s heavy heart, Roja is more resolute at this moment. ]

[If Fujitora was here, he would feel Roya's feelings at this moment, just like when Roya first shouted the word "revolution" when facing the unbearable tragedy of the destruction of the country in the Kingdom of Koloashi.]

[Unwavering and resolute determination to change the world. ]

[“Doragu, you lead a group of comrades to quickly count all the property of the local Qii army here. Please note that the property of the people and the property of the old nobles should be distinguished. The former should be returned immediately and compensation should be paid.” Roya gave clear instructions.]

[“Yes.” Long breathed a sigh of relief. Now he was not afraid of doing things, but he was afraid of not knowing where to start. ]

The current situation is indeed very serious.

[“Kuzan, you are responsible for notifying all departments that during the reorganization of the army, those criminals in the local Fai army who have committed serious crimes should not be executed for the time being. They should be detained first and wait for unified treatment in the future.” Roya continued to give instructions to Aokiji.]

[“At the same time, I need you to lead some comrades who are good at communication to work with the local people. I plan to hold a military-civilian meeting in the city tomorrow.” Luo Ya said to Aokiji. ]

[“No problem, leave it to me, Tu Yasheng.”]

[Roja's determination influenced Aokiji, and he, who looked a little heavy, rekindled the flame of justice. ]

[Ryu and Aokiji immediately went to carry out Roya's order, because time was running out and the World Government's army would soon be at the gates of the city.]

[Long and Aokiji left, and Roya returned to the temporary command center set up in the city. ]

[He returns to his temporary room and sits down at the desk, picking up a pen and paper.]

[Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Luo Ya took a deep breath, gripped the pen tightly, and began to write on the paper.

[“A new type of people’s army.”]

【“Politics is above the military, and the law is above everything else.”】

[After establishing the basic direction, Luo Ya thought for a while and continued writing.]

[“The revolutionary army is the people’s army, the army of the proletariat. This is the most important and unshakable principle at all times and in all places.”]
