Chapter 165 People’s situations are not the same
Just as Seti was thinking about whether he should take time to go to Sky Island or Fish-Man Island first after the matter in the North Sea was resolved, Box suddenly came up to him. Now he has fully entered the role of adjutant:
"Sir, where should we go next? Go directly to the first branch to report on our work, or should we first take a look at the customs and customs of Beihai and then rush there when we take office?"
There were not many descriptions of the North Sea in the original work, and Seti could not think of any famous tourist spots in the North Sea, so he did not plan to continue visiting. After thinking about it, he said:
"Let's go directly to the first branch, go sightseeing or something, and wait until we settle the matter in the Germa Kingdom."
After hearing this, Box thought for a moment and said:
"It seems that our supplies are not enough to support us to reach the first branch. Before arriving at the first branch, we may have to go to the 23rd branch first. After we get some supplies there, we can continue sailing."
Seti was not interested in these things. He waved his hand and said:
"Box, you are more experienced than me in these matters, so I'll just let you make the arrangements."
"Okay, then I will inform the base commander of the 23rd branch now and let him get ready."
Hearing what Box said, Seti suddenly thought of something and subconsciously asked:
"I remember that when the people from the Bronze Fist Pirates were evaluating each branch, they seemed to have mentioned this 23rd branch?"
Box thought for a moment and replied:
"Those guys have mentioned that the base commander of Branch 23 is a greedy guy, but sir, what those pirates said may not have much credibility...
Even if it is true as they said, we have just arrived in Beihai after all, so we still need to cooperate with the local governor here."
Box's words were very tactful, but Seti still heard the underlying meaning.
He knew what Box was worried about. He was just worried that he would make too much noise as soon as he came up, which would put everyone in other bases in Beihai in danger.
There will still be a time when these people will be needed in the next fight against the Kingdom of Germa. If these people are really pushed into a hurry and they have a showdown with Seti, then they will be the ones who suffer.
Although he understood what Box was worried about, Seti didn't take it to heart.
After all, the world of pirates is a place where strength is respected. With my current strength, I would not even frown against the Shichibukai. How could I care about these stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs in the world:
"The words of those pirates cannot be trusted. We will know after we get to the 23rd branch and ask the local people.
If the base commander of branch 23 is a good person, then I will naturally not bother him, but if it is really like what those pirates said, then why bother keeping such a scum around?"
When Box heard this, he secretly sighed, "You are still young," but he did not continue to persuade him. Some things had to be experienced by himself before he would understand.
Seeing that Box didn't take his words seriously, Seti shrugged and didn't explain too much.
People's situations are not the same, so there is no need to impose your own ideas on others.
At middle age, Box's mind has been bound by rules. At this time, no matter how much I tell him, he can't turn around.
After Seti breaks one of the rules he holds as the norm in front of him, he may be able to figure out the connection.
…………
Because he was going to the 23rd branch for supplies, Box contacted the 23rd branch in advance. This was a reasonable thing, but when it fell into the ears of the base commander of the 23rd branch, the news hit him like a bolt from the blue.
Heartbroken.

As soon as the caller hung up, Colonel Mengsk, the base commander of the 23rd branch, immediately made a sad face.
Seeing his eldest brother's bitter face, Mengsk's younger brother and confidant Mengska immediately asked:
"Brother, what's going on? Why does your face look so ugly?"
After hearing his brother's question, Mengsk sighed and said:
"It's broken. It must be because we looked too ugly in the past few days and were discovered by people from the headquarters. The base commander of the first branch who parachuted from Marineland requested to come to the 23rd branch for supplies.
There are so many branches in Beihai, but he didn't go to any of them, but chose our 23rd branch. He must have received some news in advance that he was going to deal with us."
As he spoke, Mengsk sighed again, almost saying that we two brothers should just run away and forget it.
Seeing his eldest brother sighing, Mengska, who had an irritable and violent personality, couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes.
Oh my God, it's really unfair. A person who is so timid and fearful like my eldest brother has been given such a good body. On the contrary, I, a person who should do great things, have mediocre talents. Now I can only rely on my eldest brother to live.
Although he complained about his eldest brother in his heart, Mengska knew in his heart that with his own strength, he would never survive if his eldest brother fell. Therefore, at this time, he must take the initiative to stand up and make up his mind:
"Brother, don't be too busy sighing. Maybe that guy just happened to pass by. If you scare yourself like this, aren't you just messing up your position?"
Mengsk glanced at his younger brother and couldn't help complaining:
"It's all your fault. I said at the beginning that I wanted to handle the matter cleanly so that no one could get hold of it.
But if you insist on sending people down from above, you won’t even cover it up when doing things. We brothers have such a bad reputation, even if they just happened to pass by, they can’t hide the things we did!”
Hearing his eldest brother complaining about himself like this, Mengska couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help complaining:
"You still have the nerve to blame me? You keep saying that you want to deal with it from beginning to end, but when I give you money to gag others, you are not willing to spend even a penny.
You refuse to pay me, but I can handle the whole thing myself? Now you are blaming me for not doing things well!"
Mengsk knew that he was in the wrong, but he refused to admit that it was his fault. He could only vaguely change the subject and said:
"It's almost imminent now, why are you still thinking about settling those old scores? Our top priority now is how to deceive the commodore away. We can't pray for a big storm to sink him and his warships to the bottom of the sea.
?”
Hearing this, Mengska, as the younger brother, suddenly brightened up:
"Yes, brother, if they experience any accident on the road, won't we worry about our affairs being exposed?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Mengsk watched Mengska raise his hand in front of his neck and make a motion of slitting his throat, and couldn't help but scream:
"You're crazy. This airborne base commander is a commodore. We brothers are no match for him even if we are tied together."
Mengska, who heard this, smiled sinisterly and said:
