Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

When the naval generals heard the noise, none of them turned back to see the farce behind them.

"Oh, what a bunch of rubbish."

Mo Xingchen commented coldly.

"Xiao Mo, you did a good job this time, but you still need to be more restrained. This is Mary Geoise, not the Navy Headquarters after all."

Lieutenant General He smiled and gently reminded Mo Xingchen.

"Okay, Sister Crane."

...

...

After this little episode, the group of people finally entered the golden palace.

Led by the receptionist at the door, we walked around a few turns and arrived at a meeting room.

Everyone took their seats according to their seniority. Zhan Guo had not arrived yet, so everyone was very casual, some smoking, some chatting.

After a while, Marshal Zhan Guo, wearing a formal white military uniform and covered with medals, pushed the door open and walked straight to the main seat at the top and sat down.

After tapping the table with his fingers and seeing that everyone's attention was drawn, Marshal Zhan Guo spoke with a serious expression.

"I just came from the Five Elders. Regarding tomorrow's World Conference, many member states have already applied to the World Government to establish the Seven Warlords system.

The attitude of the Five Elders is also very tough. It seems that our navy may not be able to stop it this time."

When Akainu heard this, he slammed the table angrily and shouted:

"It's ridiculous! If a bunch of trash on the sea are allowed to have such high rights, wouldn't our navy become a joke?"

With the hawkish leader Akainu speaking first, the generals belonging to the hawkish faction also expressed their dissatisfaction.

Looking at the noisy meeting room, Vice Admiral Tsuru coughed heavily, cleared his throat, and rebuked coldly:

"This matter has obviously become a foregone conclusion. When our navy cannot produce corresponding results, your complaints will only dampen everyone's emotions and will be of no use at all.

If you can destroy one of the pirate groups in the New World right now, I will stop this proposal from being passed even if I risk my life tomorrow."

After hearing what Chief of Staff He said, the hawkish generals quieted down and the conference room fell silent for a while.

The navy is undoubtedly the strongest on the sea, and they can defeat any single pirate group.

It is impossible for pirates in the New World to form alliances under normal circumstances, and they may even attack each other and fight for each other's territory.

However, as long as the navy makes a large-scale attack on the New World, these pirates will immediately band together to resist the navy. Although most pirates are stupid, they also understand the principle of "the lips and the teeth are cold".

Mo Xingchen, who was sitting next to Karp and daydreaming, chuckled when he saw that the atmosphere in the conference room was a bit depressing.

"Haha, this problem is actually easy to solve. Why are you all so sad?"

Marshal Zhan Guo, who was sitting in the main seat, also became a little more energetic after hearing this. Although Mo Xingchen was usually a bit unreliable, it was undeniable that he was a very smart person.

Maybe this kid really has a solution?

So he nodded slightly to Mo Xingchen and asked in a deep voice:

"Xiao Mo, tell me what you think."

"Since the Seven Warlords of the Sea cannot be stopped, then we should not think about how to reverse the trend, but should think about what benefits we can gain from it. This is the main direction we should discuss now."

After hearing Mo Xingchen's speech, the generals also began to think. None of the people present were stupid. They understood that the reason why the World Government established the Seven Warlords of the Sea was simply to check and balance the navy.

So how can the Seven Warlords of the Sea successfully gain benefits, and what benefits should they fight for?

...

...

While everyone was thinking, Lieutenant General He looked at the contented Mo Xingchen, knowing that he must have some tricks in mind, and asked directly:

"Xiao Mo, don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me your solution."

"Okay, then I'll just make a start and then you big guys will decide which specific interests to fight for.

There was a very powerful elder in my family who once said this.

People always like to reconcile and compromise by nature. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and a window must be opened here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate tearing down the roof, they will come to reconcile and finally be willing to open the window.

Therefore, when tomorrow, Marshal Sengoku, attends the World Conference, you must first firmly oppose the Seven Warlords' proposal. When you see that the general trend cannot be reversed, you must take a step back and propose to the World Government that the selection of the Seven Warlords must be made by the Navy.

It will definitely not be passed at that time, because then the Seven Warlords of the Sea will be equivalent to the Navy in disguise. But it doesn’t matter if it is not passed, our ultimate goal is not this.

With the first two rejections, next we can talk about the management rights of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Your World Government can choose the candidates, but the management rights must be handed over to the Navy.

Then we can take the opportunity to propose increasing the navy's military budget, scientific research projects, etc. for the coming year. This way, the world government will most likely be embarrassed to reject our navy again, after all, they still rely on us to maintain the ocean."

...

...

After listening to Mo Xingchen's speech, all the generals from different factions started discussing with smiles on their faces.

Because they think Mo Xingchen's method is really feasible. No matter what, as long as the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea is not abolished, military expenditures will definitely be indispensable in the future.

After all, who doesn't love money?

Even people like Garp and Akainu are the same. They may not be interested in how much money they have, as long as it is enough.

But do they want their warships to be faster? The soldiers to have better equipment? The weapons and ammunition on the warships to be more powerful? Wouldn't it be more convenient to catch pirates in this way? Don't these require money to support them?

The same is true for Zhan Guo, who is sitting at the top. His old face is smiling as brightly as a chrysanthemum.

In previous years, he had been humble and begged the Five Elders for more military funds, but was ruthlessly rejected.

This time, relying on Mo Xingchen's method, I, Zhan Guo, will eat soft rice and hard food! !

He could already imagine himself shouting to the Five Elder Stars in a tough manner: I, the Navy Chief Marshal Sengoku, give me money!

Of course, in the following time, Vice Admiral He and Zhan Guo began to discuss how much military expenditure should be appropriate. After all, too much would not be good, and too little would be a waste of this great opportunity.

Kizaru also took the opportunity to propose some scientific research projects that needed to be added. After all, he had been in charge of the scientific research team for many years and was an old acquaintance of the chief scientist Vegapunk. He had probably been nagged a lot about the lack of research funds.

Afterwards, all the generals put forward their own ideas and opinions. Mo Xingchen did not participate in the discussion. He could only give a sample. He was not very clear about the specific situation within the navy, so he did not interfere.

He started asking Garp next to him about the quality of the food in the holy land of Mary Joa and when he could eat.

When everyone had finished discussing, Akainu suddenly looked at Mo Xingchen who was chatting on the side and asked:

"Lieutenant General Mo, there is something I don't understand?"
