Chapter 354 The Navy Goes To The Countryside(1/2)
Fortunately, the phone bug only has the "speaker" mode, and Smog's depressed roar was able to attract everyone's attention as soon as possible.
"Smog?"
Galen finally remembered how urgent the word "seeking help" that Brené just reported was.
He quickly picked up the microphone and asked in a hurry:
"What happened?"
"Where are you?"
"Has it been attacked by pirates?"
Garen asked several questions in a row, and then took the initiative to give Smoger an emergency suggestion:
"If it's a pirate, you can just call him."
"I want to see which little thief is who dares to touch my friend in the new world."
Smog is a navy. If he encounters any difficulties in the new world, it is probably because he is attacked by pirates.
Galen killed the aunt and conquered the world. Under the strong publicity of Morgens, he became the recognized new Four Emperors in people's eyes.
The power of the Four Emperors envelops the new world. The face of the Four Emperors is more useful in the new world than the world government. Most of the little pirates on the road have to shrank their heads when they see the Four Emperors' flags.
Therefore, Galen can now exert part of the power of the fruit of face.
Unfortunately, Galen put on a big face with confidence and wanted to experience the prestige of the big brother in society, but in the end he punched the air.
Because Smoger's answer is surprising:
"No, it's not the pirate who attacked me."
“The situation is complicated, anyway…”
"I am now being chased and beaten by Teacher Zefa."
....................................................................................................
Three days ago, an island in New World.
After a long voyage, Smog and Daschi finally arrived at the hometown of the last few children.
However, the naval warship suddenly stopped outside the sea.
Because there is a skeleton pirate flag hanging on the pier of this island, the mysterious moon beard on the skeleton looks particularly eye-catching:
"The flag of the white beard?"
"Is this the Whitebeard's territory?"
Smoger hesitated and asked Dasqi beside him with a serious expression:
"Didn't this mean it is still some distance from the Whitebeard's territory?"
The Navy and Whitebeard just truce in the New World, and it was the time to be sensitive.
If Smog had taken a warship to Whitebeard's territory at this time, he would have made the same political mistake as his teacher Zefa.
"this..."
Dasqi's expression was a little awkward:
"Those children have never mentioned this to me, and I don't know much about it."
"but..."
She looked at the dock on the shore from afar and couldn't help but say:
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a pirate territory..."
The pier is not very big. The shore is full of fishing boats, and there are also large fishing nets drying on the beach, which looks no different from an ordinary fishing village.
Smoger also noticed this scene and immediately made a judgment:
This should be just a village protected by white beards, and it should not have much contact with the White League headquarters.
Pirates in the New World are rampant, with extremely poor public security and difficult to protect their lives and property.
If an island wants to get peace, the only option is to surrender to a certain force among the Four Emperors and use high protection fees to exchange for the qualification to hang the Four Emperors' flag.
Such islands are not even considered to be the peripheral vassal forces of the Four Emperors' Regiment, and are essentially different from the direct territory of the Four Emperors' Regiment.
So, Smoger's fear was greatly relieved:
"Dang!"
"Send these kids home!"
....................................................................................................
The warship finally landed.
Smog and Dasqi landed in line with the naval soldiers, and then led the lost children to the depths of the fishing village.
As we walked forward, the buildings Smoger saw were a little shabby and dilapidated, and the roads under our feet were also muddy.
Obviously, this fishing village is not rich at all.
This surprised Smog and Dasqi:
Judging from his experience of sailing in the New World these days, only wealthy and prosperous islands are qualified to hang the flags of the Four Emperors.
The reason is very simple:
Only when an island is rich enough can it afford the protection fee that satisfies the Four Emperors.
If this island is so poor that it is twitching, who will spend a lot of effort to promise to provide it with security in this troubled world?
Even the official ruler, the World Government, only promised that the Navy would protect the world government franchisors that paid the heavenly gold, and the rest would be considered private work taken by the Navy itself.
But now, Smog and Dasqi saw the flag of the Four Emperors in a poor fishing village.
"The Whitebeard Pirates have other plans for this village..."
"Or provide indiscriminate protection like Garen?"
Smog couldn't help but recall what he saw and heard in the East China Sea.
However, Garen would be even more impressed by Smog.
His Debang company is not only as simple as protecting the flag, but also brings various development opportunities to its islands and helps poor villages get rid of poverty and become rich.
Not to mention the others, at least the islands passing by sea train routes have already become rich.
Smoger thought about these miscellaneous things in his mind, and gradually led the team into the fishing village, but found that something was wrong:
The whole village looks empty.
Every household has a close door, and occasionally there will be a flash of two panic eyes behind the window.
Smog could hear the tense and heavy breathing sounds coming from the houses clearly across dozens of meters.
"this..."
Smoger's face looked a little bad.
The reaction of these villagers seemed to have encountered a pirate entering the village.
And he is a major general of the Navy headquarters, a regular army carrying justice, but he is treated the same as the pirates in front of these villagers?
"You, go over!"
Smoger sucked a cigar hard and said to a subordinate in anger:
"Tell them to open the door!"
"yes!"
The big and thick naval soldier saluted Smog, then hurried to a house and knocked on the door.
He was very strong and he could knock on the door and make the door tremble.
Then, the navy soldier with a fat face roared in an extremely rough voice:
"Open the door, fellow countryman, we are not bad guys!"
"We are here to send the kids home!"
"ah--"
There was a panic scream inside the door, and there were many rushing collisions.
“…”
Smoger suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
He looked fierce and evil, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with the image of the soldier before.
"Dasqi."
Smoger helplessly used his ace: "Go and try."
"good..."
