The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue

As the navy moved deeper and deeper into the new world, Akakenu and Aokiji also began to prepare for the election for the position of marshal, win over generals, and go to various alliance countries to connect with each other.

These two generals have picked up again what they did in the Warring States Period and started their own "road show".

Of course, at that time, Warring States was on the road show alone. After all, he had no competition goals, but just to get a job smoothly. Therefore, Warring States did not travel to many franchise countries back then.

Except for Alabasta, which went with Schuyler, Warring States just went to a few big countries, or some countries with special significance to preach for a week.

But Akainu and Aokiji are different, because there are other candidates, the franchise countries dare not support them lightly. After all, if the general they support fails in the marshal's election, they will be very embarrassed .

At the same time, they are also waiting for Akakenu or Aokiji to make more promises and sell more benefits. After all, the franchise countries they are lobbying for are also the targets of another competitor.

Therefore, in the election of the two generals, to obtain more benefits is what every king of the franchise country should do, to strive for more benefits for his own kingdom, royal family or people.

It is naturally impossible for Akakenu and Aokiji to bribe these kings with money. In addition to the fact that this is not allowed by the rules, there is another important reason, that is, the little money they can use is absolutely impossible in front of the franchise countries. A piece of cake.

Even the navy is supported by the world government with the gold from these allied countries, so the world government can afford the navy, so money will not work, or in other words, money on the brightest side will not work.

However, what these two generals can bring them is not only money on the surface, but also many invisible benefits.

For example, if one of the generals promises that the kingdom's future commercial fleet will be escorted by a navy, then once the supported general becomes the superior, these kingdoms will be able to save a lot of security costs.

What is the most afraid of doing business in this sea? What I am most afraid of is encountering pirates or some tyrannical marine creatures. Every time I do business, I am taking risks.

But if there is a naval escort, then this expense can be eliminated, that is, the cost will drop. After the cost drops, they can use the price advantage to compete for the market, or just exchange for more profit margins.

Although the navy can't escort them with great fanfare, it's reasonable that there are naval warships cruising past the fleet when they are doing business, right?

This is just the easiest way to cash in. There are too many benefits in exchange for supporting a general, but betting is always risky.

The premise of making a profit is that they can bet on Zhongbao. What if they support a loser? In this case, not only will it lose benefits, but it will also offend another general.

Especially in some larger kingdoms, the red dog and the blue pheasant come to win over in turn. They carry the expectations of the two generals at the same time. Which one to support and which one not to support may be related to the next dozen or so people. Twenty years of development.

The fact that Akakenu and Aokiji can compete on the same stage actually shows a problem, that is, their support rate within the navy is actually tending to balance.

Under the circumstances that anyone could become the marshal, this is a "gamble" of choosing one or the other. It seems that there is a 50% chance of winning, but there is also a half probability of losing.

And the most important point is that these kingdoms can't see which of these two people has the will to win. It's not a matter of probability, but that neither of them has any plans to sell their interests.

When the red dog came, he directly ignored all kinds of hints from the king of the franchise country, as well as the royal family and ministers. Just one attitude, you support me, and I will work harder to implement justice in the future.

What do they, the allied countries, want so much justice for? ! Interest! money! safe! This is what they want!

The same goes for Aokiji, the first thing this person does when he comes over is to confirm the accommodation issue, which is more perfunctory than Akainu.

The attitude of the two, if it were an ordinary person, they would either have the certainty of victory, have enough bargaining chips to talk to them, and they would not be in a hurry to sell their interests, but would consider it more beneficial than helping that kingdom.

Or it is simply a bad show, and you just don't want to fight, this kind of attitude may also appear.

But these two people don't match at all! If the real chance of winning is in their hands, then their roadshows will not be so frequent, and if they are really bad, there is no need for such frequent roadshows.

Among the two people in the competition, none of them is willing to sell their interests to win votes. This year's marshal candidate is really wonderful!

And the behavior of these two people's road show is actually sending a signal to the whole world. The group of Shijingbao started warming up as early as half a month ago.

Morgans will not miss any big news, and the change of marshal is definitely a big news, especially in the past few months, the public has been tired of watching things in the new world.

For a change of gimmicks, analyze the possibility of Akainu and Aokiji becoming marshals from various angles, and the changes they will bring to the sea after they become marshals.

Every day, newspapers leave the front page, and only analyze a little bit, and at the same time, preview the analysis content of the next issue, so as to attract users' desire to continue buying.

Aokiji or Akainu, who will win the position of marshal in the end, is not yet clear, but Morgans has indeed won.

"This damned birdman! When I become a marshal, I must ban the World Economic News Agency!"

Marin Fanduo, Akainu who had just finished the road show, returned to the office, and saw Morgans bragging about how the world would change after Aokiji became the marshal, and his skin started to steam with anger.

The newspaper in his hand is also gradually drying, carbonizing, and burning.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk ~"

"Red dog big"

The navy, who was in charge of delivering today's newspaper, had just arrived at the door of Akainu's office. Seeing Akainu's appearance, he was so frightened that he dared not even speak.

Akainu looked at the navy, and then at the World Economic News in his hand. The heat on his body gradually subsided, but his tone was still dissatisfied and said: "Bring it here! Let me see that birdman, how to arrange me today!"

"Gulu~"

The navy was a little frightened, but tremblingly sent today's world economic news to Akainu. Akainu took the newspaper, waved his hand, and let the navy back down.

After the navy retreated, the furious Akainu wanted to burn another newspaper to vent his anger, but he paused the moment he saw the headline on the front page of the newspaper.

""There are less than three people who can see through the entire sea! On the ten necessities of Admiral Akainu becoming a marshal!""

After reading the sensational headline, the anger on Akainu's face calmed down a little bit, and instead of standing still, he walked around to the office, sat on his office chair, and began to study the article word by word.

Seeing the news predicting the policies that may be implemented after he takes office, and the benign changes these policies will bring to this sea, Akainu couldn't help but patted his thigh.

Parents who gave birth to me, Morgans who knew me!

Akainu could not wait to call Morgans right away and have a long talk with him all night, but before he could act, he suddenly recalled, it seemed that Morgans was bragging about Aokiji like this before.

And among the top ten necessities, five of them are the same as Aokiji's necessity to be a general, but it's just a different way of saying it.

Thinking of this, Akainu immediately woke up. Sure enough, a businessman like Morgans always thinks about making money. As for the truth and falsehood of these words, you have to cut open Morgans' blackened heart to know. !

Although he saw through Morgans' sinister intentions, Akainu rubbed the newspaper, smoothed it out, and placed it in the desk drawer.

He didn't want to enjoy this flattery, but just to let himself remember that if he couldn't even do what others guessed after becoming a marshal, it would be a failure!

First set a goal, not to do worse than Morgans expected, and then, to do better than everyone predicted, to become the first marshal of the Navy who has never been seen before or since!

At this time, Aokiji, who had also just finished the road show, met Akainu in Crescent Harbor and was speechless, and walked back to the office of the headquarters building, also saw two newspapers from yesterday and today.

Looking at the two completely different articles written by the same author on the same platform in two days, his face also became a little weird. Good guy, is this the current newsman?

However, he is not as excited as Akainu, because of his work direction, he will contact newspapers such as Shijingbao more frequently. After all, some things do not need to be publicized, and some things need to be promoted more vigorously.

And when discussing with these people, Aokiji came forward in many cases, so he already knew that the group of people who used pens as weapons were not good people.

But the two newspapers yesterday and today were beyond Aokiji's expectations. He didn't expect Shijingbao to be so unscrupulous. At least people have to forget about yesterday's content before publishing today's headlines, right?

Sitting in his seat, Aokiji scratched his curly hair, and then conveniently stuffed the two newspapers into a drawer. He didn't do it for collection, but for some evidence when he opened up old accounts in the future.

For Morgans and his group, old accounts must be settled. Today he dares to arrange matters such as marshal candidates, and in the future he dares to directly spread rumors to affect the stability of the sea. Such people must be beaten.

As a military group, the navy does not have enough channels to speak out, so it must rely on influential communication channels like Shijingbao.

But the premise is that Shijingbao must become the mouthpiece of the navy. If they can't even express what the navy wants to express and what the navy doesn't want to express, then this mouthpiece can also be other newspapers.

"Ah cut~ ah cut~"

At this time, Morgans, who was being talked about by the two generals, sneezed several times in a conference room of the World Economic News Agency, and all the employees on the side bowed their heads and pursed their lips.

After all, seeing a big bird sneeze is really a joy. Although their president is a person in the form of an albatross who ate the fruit of the bird, his image at this time is a big bird wearing clothes.

Morgans didn't care about the performance of the employees either. After all, he was too busy and focused recently. After he sneezed, his whole body trembled, feeling that it was still so cold even though it was the beginning of spring.

Then he patted the whiteboard in front of him and said, "Have you understood the content of tomorrow? After you go back, everyone will publish an edition for me, and then we will discuss tonight, which edition will be released tomorrow!"

"But, President, are we really not afraid of offending Generals Akainu and Aokiji when we do this? I mean, if they become marshals in the future, we..."

An employee asked with low confidence, and Morgans looked at him, suddenly a little unhappy, and said seriously: "We are journalists! We have freedom of the press!

What we write depends on what the public needs to see! Instead of a potential threat from a general, you guys figure it out for me! Got it? !

What's more, isn't General Aokiji and General Akainu not yet on stage? Is it possible that because they are likely to come to power, we have to reject the advice given to us by the Marshal of the Warring States Period? ! "

Seeing all kinds of self-contradictory words of their president, the employees are also very helpless. My boss is the kind of person who wants to erect a memorial archway after becoming a boss.

Isn't the content direction of the past half a month given by the admiral of the navy? What public demand are you talking about!

If Akakenu and Aokiji learned about the thoughts of these employees, they would probably run to the marshal's office with confusion and anger to question Sengoku.

Fortunately, these journalists still have a little integrity, so there is no rumor about it. As the most powerful channel to control public opinion, they are well aware of the lethality of information.

And the "instigator" of all this, the soon-to-be-retired Marshal Zhan Guo, was smiling like an ancient child in his office.

At this time, He, who personally delivered the newspaper to him, was also very helpless when he saw the state of the Warring States Period. This marshal is really getting more and more presumptuous.

I will not talk about being late for work, but I am personally doing the work, brewing public opinion about the discord between the two generals, and I am so happy. Is this what a naval admiral should be like?

After laughing, Zhan Guo put down the newspaper, then looked at He, and asked, "How's the feedback from Morgans? Can we go to the next step?"

Crane nodded and said: "Well, I have already confirmed with him before coming, tomorrow will put the battle between Akakenu and Aokiji on the bright side, and at the same time announce the news that you are about to resign.

But, Sengoku, have you really thought about it? After the news is announced, after the referendum, the two of them will have to fight, and Skyler really can."

"You always made me believe in Skyler before, don't you believe me now?"

Zhan Guo interrupted He's worried words, and then said: "Since we have decided to trust Skyler and accept her opinion, the necessary price must be unavoidable.

It is indeed difficult to put the matter of controlling votes on the table, but this era is the best era for the navy, so I have to take a gamble.

Moreover, regardless of whether Akakenu or Aokiji wins in the end, the old man believes that they will not betray justice. Perhaps Skyler's method is more suitable for them than leaving in despair after losing.

What's more, the old man feels that this matter may really be within Skyler's control. Although it is crazy and dangerous, once it succeeds, you should know what it means.

The four seas, the great waterway, and the windless belt, the navy has taken over so many sea areas for so many years. Is it possible that the new world is difficult to chew, so why not?

This era has changed too much. We can no longer look at the world and these newcomers with the eyes of the past.

It was not allowed to intensify internal conflicts in the past, but now the navy needs such contradictions. Only real contradictions can achieve the planned effect. "

After hearing what Zhan Guo said, He shook his head helplessly, and said, "You can make trouble as you like! Anyway, I never really stopped you. Everything is up to you, the marshal, isn't it?"

He's tone was obviously a bit angry, and Zhan Guo could hear it, so he shook his head seriously, and said: "He, it's not that this old man acts willfully and recklessly, but this person who acts willfully and recklessly can only be played by this old man.

I will not change my decision because of your thoughts, but it does not mean that your thoughts are not important, on the contrary, you are extremely important!

If you are here, you can let the old man remember that everything the old man is doing now is an unconventional method, even a method that violates previous experience.

The old man has indeed done a lot of crazy things recently, but you have to remember that your existence can let the old man know where the limit of madness is, and after the old man leaves office, the new marshal also needs you to remind him.

Remind him what the rational path should be like, let him play within a controllable range, instead of stepping off the track step by step until he can no longer pull back, do you understand? "

He looked at Zhan Guo and curled his lips. How could she not know this, but her opinions and suggestions have not been adopted recently, and Zhan Guo's recent madness is too frequent for her to accept that's all.

Seeing that Crane was unwilling to speak, Warring States didn't say anything more, he just waved his hand and said, "Okay, Crane, I won't tell you too much, now we can start preparing for the referendum.

The process of the referendum on the headquarters side is easy to control, but you need to worry more about the franchise countries, and on the world government side, I have already asked Commander Kong.

At that time, the vote between the two had better be tied. "

"Okay, you don't need to explain this kind of thing, but if the thing is revealed, or if you are completely unable to win over the person who failed, then you can just apologize yourself."

He finished speaking impatiently, turned around and left Zhan Guo's conference room. Zhan Guo sat in his own conference room with the news of the past half month on the desktop.

The news is getting hotter and hotter. At this time, it is estimated that not only the public thinks that Akakenu and Aokiji are completely opposite, but perhaps even these two people will inevitably have such thoughts in their hearts.

Warring States knew that what they were doing was far from being "right" in the perception of ordinary people, but that kind of right behavior could not bring enough benefits to the navy, so they could only do these wrong things.

But right now, things have reached an irreversible level, unless Warring States is willing to announce that he has no intention of retiring, the struggle between the two can be eliminated.

However, even if there is no such antagonistic relationship now, the estrangement between the two because of this incident can never be repaired.

Therefore, at this time, the Warring States can no longer stop, and can only try its best to do everything well.

In the early morning of the next day, the Shijingbao arrived as scheduled, and directly broke the marshal dispute between Aokiji and Akainu, and told everyone directly that these two people were fighting for the position of marshal.

At the same time, a notice was also conveyed to every general.

In the new world, Skyler looked at the report in his hand, and gradually frowned. At this time, Whitebeard's sea area, in a sense, has been completely taken over by the navy.

The rest is the neutral sea area where pirates gather together, and these days, the atmosphere in the neutral sea area is also very tense, and the pirates are afraid that the navy will advance further.

Because if they push forward, they really don't have any room to survive. They can only fight to the death, either with the Big Mom Pirates or with the Navy. This is their only way out.

Skyler naturally knew this, which was why she frowned. After all, victory was just around the corner, but it would be a loss to think about stopping it at this moment.

But suddenly, her brows opened, and a smile appeared on her face.

After all, who said that pressing every step of the way is torture. Push them to the point where they feel that they cannot retreat, and then relax and let them take a breath of tension.

Then, when they hadn't caught their breath, they pressed on again, like a cat playing with a mouse. Surely this would be a very interesting thing, right?

Thinking of this, Skyler turned to look at Nurkic and said, "Nurkic!"

"Sir!"

Nurkic hurriedly came to Skyler, waiting for Skyler's order. Skyler thought for a while and said, "Tell them, close the team, and return to Marlin Vandor!"

"Ah? Sir, is this?"

"It's okay, it's just a week, oh, by the way, let Rossindi spread the news, that is, the next week will be their last chance to escape.

Whether they can grasp it depends on them! "

Hearing Skyler's words, Nurkic nodded and said, "Indeed, in this case, there won't be too much pressure on the Night Emperor's army. The pirates are busy escaping, and they certainly won't focus on civilians." body."

"Yes, yes! That's what I mean!"

Skyler nodded hastily, acknowledging his "profound meaning", and Nurkic saluted immediately, and said, "Okay, sir, then I will inform the others now!"

"Okay, that's right, after you finish the notification later, tell Leon to prepare a small banquet. There is no need to hold a special event. Everyone can eat barbecue and drink some wine."

"Yes, sir!"
