286. Death is not a pity(1/2)
The sky is bright.
There were not many people walking around on the street, only the navy shuttles back and forth were constantly busy, and many people secretly observed the situation outside through the cracks in the doors and windows.
To them, the navy is even more terrifying than pirates, because this is a chaotic area, and everyone living here has more or less contact with pirates.
Many people even rely on pirates to make money. The mainstay of the economy here is those pirates.
In this way, when facing the navy, they will naturally feel guilty, fearing that they will be regarded as pirates and captured by the navy, which will become their credit.
I heard that this kind of thing was not uncommon in the past.
Although the navy on the street looks a little embarrassed, everyone is happy and excited. You said that a small navy in Beihai is so lucky to be able to meet a naval hero.
Not to mention, after just half a day of hard work, a lot of credit has landed on your head, so how can you not be happy?
Allen is listening to Smoker's report. Basically, there is nothing wrong with it. He has taken into account all the issues that can be considered. It is quite satisfactory. For him who has presided over such a big operation for the first time, it is already a relatively perfect one.
performance.
"You're doing well, but it's not enough. If you follow me, you have to be stricter with yourself. Those who can get 100 points should not get 80 points, and those who can get 80 points should not get 60 points." Allen maintained his usual attitude,
He has strict requirements for Smog, unlike Bucky. This is called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. "That one-eyed dragon Dolek, remember to go back and send him to Impel Down together with the blood Fendi he captured before.
You need to treat her well, you can’t just kill her."
"Yes." Smoker raised his hand in salute, but hesitated to speak.
"If there is anything else, let's finish it together."
"According to the information we have received, there is a group of pirates behind this incident who are adding fuel to the fire. That guy's name is Babrus, but this time he was not among these pirates. It is said that he left here before we arrived and disappeared without a trace.
.”
"so?"
"I was thinking whether I should find a way to find them and capture them together, otherwise I would always feel that it was not complete enough."
Allen couldn't help but laugh.
Smoker also learned that he was dishonest. On the sea, anything can happen. There is no perfect thing, and pirates can't catch them all.
"I'll leave this matter to you. If you want, make it the focus of your next work. I'll allocate two navy ships belonging to the Beihai branch to you. You can take them and continue to find ways to arrest people."
"Yes, Lieutenant General."
After Smoker left, Allen continued to deal with various things.
This time he came to Beihai, came into contact with the navy here, and learned about the situation here. Only then did he realize that the naval problems in the four seas were not optimistic.
Basically, every naval base has more or less situations like this due to the lack of communication with the naval headquarters, some of which are mild and some of which are more serious.
The key question is, if the North Sea is like this, what about the other three sea areas?
Allen never believes that the other three sea areas similar to the North Sea will be very clean. In fact, even at the branch base of the Grand Line, there are various situations, but because there is close direct contact with the headquarters, problems
There are some, but they are all within the acceptable range.
As for Beihai, the situation in some branch bases has become urgent.
As a navy, being greedy is not a problem. After all, we are all adults. Being a navy is not for bullshit justice, but to get a job that can solve the problem of feeding the family.
But for the sake of money, you have lost your humanity and can do any evil things. Not to mention being a navy, even being a pirate deserves to die.
Allen picked up a piece of information he had just received, and his expression was very ugly. Solving so many pirate problems at once did not make him feel good.
In fact, he knows that this is a worse-than-bad world, and as long as it is slightly better, it is already pretty good.
He couldn't take care of these problems before they were exposed to him. After all, even if he was a candidate for admiral, if he had to take care of everything, he wouldn't be able to finish it even if he was exhausted.
But now that the problems are all before him, he naturally can't pretend he didn't see them.
After the information is confirmed, it's time to plow through the trenches and use thunderous methods.
…
…
This large-scale operation of the Navy is different from the previous silent destruction of the Blood Fundy Pirates. There is no way to hide it. Of course, Allen has no idea of hiding this time, so after completing the work of cleaning the battlefield,
He directly released the news through reporters.
Throughout the North Sea, after the news spread widely, the huge sea area suddenly felt calm for an instant.
The large and small pirate groups that were still operating in various places unexpectedly chose to cease operations, and no one dared to go against the trend and plunder.
At the same time, it naturally caused countless ordinary people throughout Beihai to cheer, and many people carnivaled like a festival.
The geographical environment of this world, as well as the eight hundred years of high-pressure rule by the Tianlong people, caused the profession of pirates to last for eight hundred years. In fact, it was not only that, there was still such a profession as pirates in this world even eight hundred years ago.
In other words, people in many places have actually suffered from pirates since ancient times, but it was only in the great pirate era after Roger's death that this suffering was intensified.
Although Allen's arrival did not completely eliminate these problems, it greatly improved the environment of the North Sea in a short period of time. I don't know how many people survived because of him, and I don't know how many people took revenge because of Allen's destruction of these pirate groups.
A bloody feud.
In short, wherever newspapers arrive, there are people cheering and celebrating.
All of a sudden, the drinks in some places were even sold out, and I don’t know how many people got drunk - everyone has been suffering for a long time!
The situation here at the 77th branch base of the Beihai Navy is completely different.
Speaking of which, most of the naval branch bases in the four seas are stationed in towns in various countries. Unlike the Grand Line, which builds completely independent fortresses, it feels a bit like a stepmother in terms of treatment.
In addition, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so some navy directly became the local emperor.
This is the case with the 77th branch base. This base located in a town outside a certain kingdom has become the actual controller of the town. Although there is a consul in the town, it is equivalent to a decoration.
This small town with a population of only more than 5,000 people has no ability to resist in front of a naval base with hundreds of people. It can only obey the navy's orders and dare not disobey in any way.
There are too many examples in cities and towns in the past that prove this. Anyone who dares to disobey the navy will not end well.
Some people had their homes broken into by pirates without incident, resulting in the tragic death of their entire family, but the residents living here all understood what was going on.
The town is close to the coast, and the place that occupies the best port location is the naval branch base, and the branch base extends a lot into the town, looking both majestic and luxurious.
The main building of the branch base is the tallest building in the town. Above the main building, there is a statue, which is the appearance of Colonel Bolger of the branch.
It is said, it is said that this is to commemorate Colonel Bolger who saved this town five years ago. In order to thank Colonel Bolger, the town residents voluntarily erected a statue for the colonel.
"So, look, this person is much better than me. I heard that some people have also carved my portrait, but most of them are small trinkets for their own collection and as a psychological comfort thing.
Instead of building a huge stone statue several meters high like now, it took a full two or three months just to carve such a thing. And because the residents voluntarily carved it for the colonel for free, look at it.
, what a profound emotion this is.”
Allen and Bucky were sitting by the window of a restaurant while eating. They could see the huge statue not far away through the window. It was difficult to miss it. It was the highest location in the entire town.
It can be seen clearly from any corner of this town, but the tone of Allen's words is not very good.
Bucky knew clearly that this was a sign of Allen's anger.
To be honest, after Bucky learned about the situation, he felt it was outrageous. The navy here had completely changed from maintaining order to being perpetrators of oppressing the residents.
And he can do such a thing, which shows how stupid and arrogant this colonel named Bolger is.
A colonel at a branch base is just a captain at the Navy Headquarters. Such a small role on the Allen ship is not even qualified to serve as a squad leader.
The naval soldiers who serve as captains or above on Allen's ship also have at least the rank of Brigadier or Major.
"I don't think it's worth being angry for such a person. It's not necessary for you to make this trip in person. It's unnecessary to leave it to me to solve the problem," Bucky said.
Allen shook his head: "This kind of thing should be regarded as a typical example and must be faced squarely. Some things are rotten from the root. Although the root cause cannot be solved, the surface must be dealt with. This is the correct attitude towards doing things.
"
The voices of the two of them were not too quiet, at least they were not deliberately concealed. In addition, their demeanor and conversation were completely different from the locals. At least their accents could tell that they were not locals.
Naturally, they will attract other people's attention.
The other people refer to the people who dine in the restaurant... the navy, because except for them, the other normal guests in the restaurant, after the arrival of the five navy at the table, either pay directly and leave, or they just immerse themselves in the food quickly.
Only the two of them seemed to be enjoying themselves and were not affected at all.
At first, the restaurant owner took the opportunity of serving food to carefully remind them to leave, implying that the navy over there might cause trouble for them.
But as a boss who lives in a city, the best he can do is this.
Even the boss's wife was asked to personally serve food to the navy from the bar where the accounts were settled. During the process, someone dishonestly touched the boss's wife's butt. Both of them just forced a smile and did not dare to resist or just dare to get angry.
Dare not speak.
In the end, before they finished their meal, the two navy men who had drank a lot of wine left the table and came to stand next to Allen under the worried eyes of the boss and his wife.
"Hey, you two foreigners, I just heard you talking about Colonel Bolger." A person slammed the table, causing a lot of food to spill on the table. He looked at the two of them, especially Ai
Lun's dress and eyes were full of greed, "I can't pretend that I didn't hear this. Tell me, which pirate group are you from? How dare you spy on our naval base?!"
Allen pulled back a little, looked at the branch navy in front of him with the rank of second lieutenant, frowned and said: "Can't your Colonel Bolger be talked about? As long as you talk about his name, you will be regarded as a pirate.
?" Judging from the person in front of me, the entire 77th branch base is rotten to the core. These navy are even more unscrupulous than the pirates.
After all, pirates still need to worry about being captured by the navy, but what will the navy worry about?
"Okay, you are indeed pirates. Only pirates can be so bold!" The second lieutenant who spoke was irritated by Allen's indifferent look. No one in this town has ever dared to speak to him like this. "Come over here and put these people together."
To be continued...
