Pirate Dark General
Chapter 32 King Azka's Hole Card
Seeing that the scene suddenly became quiet, Brigadier General Adkin once again fell into self-denial and doubted his life. "It is so easy to appease the scene. It seems that I am only suitable for fighting and killing."
"You are Major Longinus of the Navy. I have heard Cobra mention it many times. He admired you very much in his words. Now let me hear what you, a naval hero, have to say."
Although the Alabasta king's tone was still a bit condescending, it was enough to make everyone in the hall look sideways.
After all, even the two kings of Crete and Xiska were reprimanded by him in a superior tone, which shows that the status of this lieutenant commander in the eyes of the king of Alabasta is probably higher than that of other kings.
The other two kings have obviously done their homework. Knowing that this naval lieutenant commander is considered an iconic figure in the G2 branch, it is not impossible for him to grow into a real big shot in the navy in the future.
Therefore, the two kings also said very politely: "Major Longinus, I wonder what you think of this matter."
This time, the eyes of those ladies and ladies who were only coveting Longinus's appearance once again became turbulent.
"The southern part of Sentin Island is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate the four kingdoms. Moreover, the kings started the war for nothing more than better development."
"For example, although the Kingdom of Xiska is rich, its territory is small and its resources are scarce. It is often at a disadvantage in terms of free trade, so it is eager for more land."
"The Kingdom of Crete is located in hills, criss-crossed by rivers, and lacks plains that can grow a large amount of food. The demand for food is the highest among the four countries."
"Alabasta has a vast territory and a strong military force, but in fact, its domestic conflicts are sharp, and it lacks water sources, making it difficult to sustain a long-term war."
When Longinus pointed out the shortcomings of their own country, the two kings of Siska and Crete had already frowned. After hearing that the situation in Alabasta seemed not much better than theirs, they turned their contempt He cast his eyes on the King of Alabasta, thinking in his heart that no wonder this old guy would come to the peace talks, but he was also surprised by Longinus' control of the overall situation.
The King of Alabasta frowned slightly and opened his lips, as if he was about to say something, but he soon relaxed his expression and motioned for Longinus to continue.
"The Kingdom of Azka has the largest granary in the four countries, but suffers from the lack of suitable trading channels, so it is very coveted for the trading port of the Kingdom of Siskar."
"Hmph" King Azka snorted in displeasure and said nothing.
"In my opinion, the four kings can actually complement each other in terms of needs, trade with each other and develop each other. If today's peace talks can be transformed into a mutual aid covenant, it will be a great improvement for the development of any kingdom."
"If you take a long-term view, there are more than a dozen countries on Shengting Island alone, and there are wolves outside Shengting Island. The threat of pirates will never go out of style. In fact, the kings have to go to Shengting Island every year. A huge amount of treasure is used as heavenly gold, which is another heavy burden.
"So, the real threat actually comes from the outside world. If the four kings can put aside their past prejudices and cooperate sincerely, maybe in a few decades, there will be four more top powers in this sea."
Under the guidance of Longinus's analysis of the situation and soul, the atmosphere in the field gradually became thicker.
Seeing that Longinus was able to stir up troubles in such a situation, the scorching eyes of those ladies and ladies wanted to swallow him alive, and some parts of his body were even faintly hot, which made them clamp their legs in shame.
King Xiska and King Crete took the lead in saying, "If the other two kings are also sincere, we are willing to put aside the hatred and prejudice in the past and cooperate."
"Cooperate?" King Alabasta tapped the armrest lightly, seemingly hesitant.
King Azka laughed out loud, "I don't have much else, but there is one thing. Before starting your so-called alliance, I hope that the King of Alabasta can compensate me for the war compensation of 10 billion beli."
"hiss"
Many gasps suddenly sounded in the hall. Has King Azka gone crazy? Although they now know that the Kingdom of Alabasta is not as powerful as it appears, at least until now, the situation of the war remains. It is the Kingdom of Alabasta that has the absolute advantage. Does he want to force the King of Alabasta to fight them to the death?
Cobra's father, who was still hesitant at first, seemed to have loosened the shackles in his heart after hearing King Azka's arrogant words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "King Azka, I heard you right, did you? I feel like my life is too prosperous, do you want to try the feeling of being down and out?"
"Hmph, you should take a good look at yourself before saying this. Don't think that I don't know the little things you did in this war. If you don't want to lose face or even be expelled from the ranks of the participating countries, you'd better be sensible and agree with me. The request made." King Azka raised his neck proudly, consciously holding the opponent's lifeline.
Everyone in the hall began to whisper. King Azka seemed to be relying on this gesture.
Longinus frowned slightly. It seemed that Cobra was not the only one who knew about Alabasta's secret contact with the pirates. However, did he really think that such a scandal could bring down the King of Alabasta?
After all, secretly recruiting pirates can be regarded as a tacit understanding between various countries. There is even an official pirate force like the Babao Navy. King Azka contacted pirates to intercept the enemy fleet two years ago. After being exposed, it only lowered Azka's royal majesty and national credibility by a notch, and the actual blow was not much.
All in all, in the eyes of the world government, as long as it does not plan riots and uprisings or involves vicious events such as historical texts that may subvert the government's rule, the decadent regime will not care too much at all.
Therefore, the King of Alabasta said calmly: "Oh, are you referring to the matter of me hiring pirates to join the war? I reflect deeply here and promise in front of Brigadier General Adkin that similar things will not happen again in the future. It won’t happen either.”
"Okay, I've said what you want to say for you, do you have anything else to say next?"
Seeing the king of Alabasta look like a hob, the other royal nobles felt helpless besides being angry. This old guy really doesn't care about the majesty of the royal family at all.
What do they do?
The nobles of Azka were worried about their king. When he launched the attack, he probably didn't expect that the old guy would be so straightforward.
Unexpectedly, King Azka still looked like an old god, and sneered, "King Alabasta, you are really good at avoiding the important and taking the easy. It's a pity that you may not have thought that my information is better than you thought." It needs to be detailed.”
"You deliberately advanced the meeting to tonight. It is not because you are busy with domestic political affairs and cannot leave the country for too long. You have only one purpose for doing so, and that is to facilitate your contact with a big pirate who is secretly operating in this palace. Lieutenant General, kill us all”
