Pirates: The wages are in place and the Yonko will be kicked out.

Nearly two weeks have passed since the Beast Pirates took the lead in launching an attack on the navy in the waters near G-5 Fortress. The Marinefando reinforcements, personally led by Porusalino and Kuzan, arrived at the forefront of the battlefield a week ago and joined the battle with the pirate groups in the New World to determine the offensive and defensive trends of both sides in the next few years. In the war of active and passive positions.

In order to firmly control the so-called "Macedonian Defense Line" (named by Porusalino himself), Polusalino and his three naval admirals were stationed at the three major naval bases in the New World, thus ensuring that each The bases can all have the combat power to resist Yonko-level enemies - Sakaski is still his original base at the Clifford Kingdom Naval Base, Kuzan went to G-1, and Porusalino was assigned to G- 5.

The three active generals went into battle together, and the navy's actions and determination were nothing short of great. However, what is surprising is that the previously menacing pirates have shown great restraint in the past two weeks - not only have there been only a handful of conflicts at the middle and high cadre levels, but also the pirate emperors corresponding to the three generals, It's even more so that the dragon can't see its head but not its tail. Only "Hundred Beasts" Kaido was seen making a move before, and the other three had no information at all.

As the chief staff officer of the Navy Headquarters, Lieutenant General He had of course tried to contact Fraser, but the latter's phone always remained silent, and there was nothing unusual about his life card - this made many navy bosses start to worry. As a pirate emperor, is it possible that he is really holding back some secret move?

After all, as big figures in the navy, or leaders with a broader vision, the senior generals of the headquarters headed by Lieutenant General He have a longer-term and more comprehensive view than ordinary sailors. The gains and losses are limited to a fleet or even a naval base.

Ordinary sailors and mid-level and low-level commanders all care about the victory or defeat of the fleet they are in, the fortress they are in, and the defense line they are responsible for.

What Lieutenant General He and the others saw was that through the not-so-fierce confrontation between the two sides, the navy's endurance and profound armaments far surpassed that of the New World pirate group - and the former BIGMOM pirate group's crusade Different from the previous war, in this conflict, the navy did not get outflanked or the large fleet went deep alone. The continuous supplies and the reserve force that was almost twice the frontline strength after the world's conscription allowed the navy to fully adopt " "drag" tactics.

This has led to the current strategic goal of the navy, which is to hold on to the so-called Macedonian defense line and ensure that the navy's power can gain a firm foothold in the new world - the navy can fully bear the current loss of military strength and manpower. Live, you can even put those newcomers who have no strength but no experience recruited by the "World Recruitment" some time ago into local battlefields and let them practice in actual combat.

Of course, this does not mean that the navy has a complete advantage - in fact, if we really want to talk about it, the key factor that can most determine the outcome of the war between the two sides is the so-called high-level combat power, and the navy headquarters is the weaker side. .

Therefore, Lieutenant General He and other decision-making leaders are willing to adopt the "drag" tactic. This tactic can limit the level of the pirate group's advanced combat power and at the same time fully utilize the navy's advantages. You can also give the intelligence officers time to investigate the movements of the Pirate Emperors as much as possible.

…

Just as the navy was fighting against the four great pirate groups in the New World, battle reports from the front were being sent back to the World Government one after another.

In the holy land of Mary Joa, the core hub of power in Pangu City, the five old stars all looked quite ugly at the moment.

The bald five-star first presented a statistical table:

"In just over two weeks, the value of materials consumed on the front line has reached such an astonishing figure..."

There was a saying in the world before Porusalino's time travel, "One cannon blast, ten thousand taels of gold" - the navy was fighting against the pirates who had united in the new world, and the massive funds needed naturally came from the rear. world government. And unlike the victors in the world before Polusalino traveled through, the navy in the pirate world cannot have any economic "recovery" even if it defeats the pirates.

Because unlike the country, the pirates themselves are not the ones who provide the means of production. This group has always relied on robbing civilians of supplies to fight and fight to support the war - even the relatively benign red-haired pirates And the Whitebeard Pirates, they also rely on collecting "protection fees" from residents in territorial waters to obtain necessary funds.

So, if it's pirates fighting pirates, then of course the winner will win. Not only can they gain fame, but they can also occupy the loser's territory and incorporate the loser's personnel into their own forces, thereby further growing and developing.

But the navy is completely different - as long as the navy goes to war with the pirates, even if it wins, even a big victory, the substantive benefits will be negative, and there will only be some conceptual positive benefits such as so-called "enforcement of justice".

Therefore, before the start of this war, the top leaders of the world government, represented by the Five Old Stars, were mentally prepared to trade the economy for momentum and stability as before.

But even so, they were still completely shattered by this bill - you know, this is only a "bill" for two weeks, and during these two weeks, the Navy has been on the defensive. The initiative for war does not lie with the World Government at all. If this situation continues, the next direction of this war will be far away, and the final price will be absolutely jaw-dropping.

Although the naval force still occupies a geographical advantage and there is no possibility of defeat in a short period of time, which is a blessing among misfortunes, from the perspective of the five old stars, such a situation is still completely unacceptable - after all, The so-called war is the continuation of politics, and for the world's nobles, politics is a means to rule the world and gain profits.

Therefore, if the cost of winning a war exceeds or even far exceeds the benefits they can get from it, then for the top leaders of the world government, it is better to let the navy as a tool defeat the war as soon as possible and stop the losses as soon as possible.

Of course, such words and thoughts cannot be exposed at all. They are extremely politically incorrect. Therefore, the long-haired five-old star just looked at the bill again and again, and finally said in a deep voice, seemingly objectively:

"Even for a war of this scale, the mutual losses on the front lines that lasted for nearly two weeks are a bit too long... The navy should still proactively look for opportunities and take the initiative. Excessive caution is not a good thing."

"It seems that even though he has only been the marshal for more than ten years, the Warring States Period has lost the spirit of the past..."

"We should contact him to supervise him."

"Seconded."

"Agree."

This move of the five old stars actually reveals why there are always lay leaders who want to guide the experts. Except for some people who are really self-righteous, the reason for quite a few cases is actually very simple - when leaders and subordinates as tool men face the same thing, the points they need to consider and the interests they care about are fundamentally different.

…

"What on earth are the Five Old Stars thinking?! Do they think this is children playing a game?! What we are facing is the alliance of four pirate emperors!!"

Sitting in the command post of Clifford Naval Base, Sakaski roared and threw the order he had just received on the ground - if Marshal Sengoku hadn't specifically told him, this document would serve as a demonstration of the Navy's ultimate mission in the future. If the evidence of the justice and necessity of the grand plan could not be burned, he would definitely light a cigar with the waste paper.

"...General Sakaski, what should we do now?"

Ghost Spider also read the content of this order, and was also slightly confused, and then became very angry. But after all, he is not a general like Sakaski, and he does not have the qualifications and confidence to criticize the orders of the Five Old Stars. He can only look at the faces of his superiors and follow Sakaski's arrangements.

"what to do?"

The latter sneered, "What can we do? Is it possible to really follow the orders of these five old men and use our navy's disadvantages to compete with the pirates' advantages?"

"That……"

"Contact Porusalino immediately! His G-5 fortress is located at the front, and this kind of fooling the higher-ups is his special skill!"

"clear!"

…

Meanwhile, G-1 Fortress.

"Alas, this is really a puzzling order... Marshal of the Warring States Period may also feel embarrassed, so he did not give any instructions and directly handed it over to us unchanged..."

"...So General Kuzan, do we really have to take the initiative as ordered now?"

"Don't be anxious, help me contact Senior Porusalino first."

"……Um?"

"Don't you know? When it comes to deceiving others, Senior Porusalino is number one in the navy, no, he should be number one in the world!"

…

Ten minutes later, Porusalino, who was thinking about how to use today's document to "call on the Five Old Stars and World Government Documents" in the future, received calls from Sakaski and Kuzan at the same time - the two It was as if they had made an appointment. One dialed Porusalino's private number, and the other took the official line of the G-5 base command post, so as to ensure that they would not disturb each other and catch Polusalino at the same time. promise.

Seeing this, Porusalino simply started a remote video call and started discussions together.

"Stop talking about unnecessary nonsense and just tell us what to do!"

Sakaski expressed his stance directly when he came up - it was clear that he was "learning" from Porusalino, but his attitude was very rude.

Kuzan was very good at talking:

"Senior Porusalino, use your invincible political wisdom to help us!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Porusalino waved to the two of them through the phone bug video, and then touched his chin, which actually didn’t have much stubble, and said slowly with an attitude of "I am a wise man!":

"The result that the Five Old Stars want is actually very simple and clear, that is, to return the consumption of this war to their bottom line... After all, what our navy wants is victory, and what they want is profit."

"But as far as the current situation is concerned, as a passive defensive party, our consumption cannot be easily reduced - once the manpower and material resources we invest are reduced, a hole will be opened in the defense line in an instant, and then it will collapse directly in a short period of time. Everything is lost..."

"So, there is only one road before us..."

"Which one?" X2

"Lao Sa, Xiao Ku! We don't want to be human beings anymore... we are in the navy! Let's become pirates too!!"

"???"

"???"

…

Of course, what Porusalino meant by being a pirate was not the literal meaning, but just a witticism that borrowed the literal meaning - to put it simply, it was to rob pirates.

That's right, it may be one of the oldest businesses in human beings. Pirates can do such things as robbery, but can't the navy do it?

What's more, Porusalino doesn't want young men from the Navy to rob pirates of supplies, which is actually no different from taking the initiative to confront them head-on - he wants the Navy to send a secret team to go behind enemy lines and rob those pirates. The civilians who are the suppliers of pirate fighting resources.

Rescue these civilians themselves, along with their property, from the hands of the pirates - in this case, the pirates, as attackers who cannot be self-sufficient, will inevitably be affected in their attacks, and the consumption of the navy will naturally be reduced. Come down.

And these rescued civilians, with a little resettlement, can become good civilians who grow food well, do business well, and provide positive assistance to the navy - at the same time, the pirates will permanently lose their Part of the comprehensive resources were obtained, and they were further suppressed.

What does it mean to win three times in one go?

…

After all, the operation was to be carried out deep behind enemy lines, and it was also a difficult operation to rescue civilians, so the special team sent by the three of them were all elites.

Take the G-5 Fortress where Porosalino is stationed as an example. Rob Lucci worked with more than a dozen school officers and an elite brigadier general, and the warships he boarded were also the latest.

"Punk Hassad, Punk Hassad, please answer when you hear it! This is the G-5A special team, which is executing mission 437. All civilians have been evacuated successfully from the two first-class islands outside Whitebeard's territorial waters and are being escorted by warships. Head to the transfer point and please confirm that the sea area near you is safe! Send a response team!"

As the saying goes, "Those who are close to vermillion will be red and those who are close to ink will be black" - after studying with Porusalino for so many years, Rob Lucci has become a responsible and responsible task executor. At this moment, he was holding the phone's wired microphone, placing it at his lips, and calling his base seriously.

Well, actually not - mainly because Punk Hassad is a special place. Even though he is performing an important high-level mission, Rob Lucci still won't be careless.

As a "gray island" not far from the G-5 Fortress (meaning it was erased on the map), Punk Hassad Island has three secondary research bases for the Navy's scientists, and also houses some special personnel from the World Government. Prisoners, security strength and importance are self-evident.

But because this mission is very important, the three generals of the navy jointly gave instructions, so even an important base like Punk Hassad needs to contribute to the mission.
