Chapter 32 King Azka's Hole Card
Chapter 32 King Azka's Hole Card
Seeing the scene quiet down instantly, Brigadier General Adkin once again fell into the self-denial of doubting his life, "So easy to appease the scene, it seems that I am really only suitable for fighting and killing?"
"Are you...Major Longinus of the navy? I've heard Cobra mention it many times. He admires you very much in his speech. Now let me hear what you, a naval hero, have to say. "
Although the Alabasta king's tone was still a bit condescending, it was enough to make everyone in the hall look sideways.
After all, even the two kings of Crete and Hiska were reprimanded by him in the tone of a superior, which shows that this lieutenant commander may have a higher status in the eyes of the Alabasta king than other kings.
The other two kings also obviously did their homework. Knowing that this lieutenant commander is regarded as the iconic figure of the G2 branch, it is not impossible to grow into a real big man in the navy in the future.
Therefore, the two kings also said very politely: "Major Longinus, what do you think about this matter?"
This time, the eyes of those ladies and ladies who were only coveting Longinus's appearance once again became turbulent.
"The southern part of Sentin Island is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate the four kingdoms. Moreover, the kings started the war for nothing more than better development."
"For example, although the Siskar Kingdom is rich, its land is small and its resources are scarce. It is often at a disadvantage in terms of free trade, so it is eager for more land."
"The Kingdom of Crete is located in hills, criss-crossed by rivers, and lacks plains that can grow a large amount of food. The demand for food is the highest among the four countries."
"Alabasta has a vast territory and a strong military force, but in fact, its domestic conflicts are sharp, and it lacks water sources, making it difficult to sustain a long-term war."
When Longinus pointed out the shortcomings of their own country, the two kings of Siska and Crete had already frowned. After hearing that the situation in Alabasta seemed not much better than theirs, they turned their contempt He cast his eyes on the King of Alabasta, thinking in his heart that no wonder this old guy would come to the peace talks, but he was also surprised by Longinus' control of the overall situation.
The King of Alabasta frowned slightly, opened his lips, and seemed to be about to say something, but soon eased his expression and motioned Longinus to continue.
"The Kingdom of Azka has the largest granary in the four countries, but suffers from the lack of suitable trading channels, so it is very coveted for the trading port of the Kingdom of Siskar."
"Hmph!" King Azka snorted unhappily, and said nothing more.
"In my opinion, the four kings can actually complement each other in terms of needs, trade with each other and develop each other. If today's peace talks can be transformed into a mutual aid covenant, it will be a great improvement for the development of any kingdom."
"If you take a long-term view, there are more than a dozen countries on Sentine Island alone, and there are wolves around Sentine Island, the threat of pirates will never go out of fashion, and even, the kings have to go to the island every year." The treasures that have been paid a lot of money are regarded as gold in the sky, which is another heavy burden.
"So, the real threat actually comes from the outside world. If the four kings can let go of their past prejudices and cooperate sincerely, maybe in a few decades, there will be four more top powers in this sea."
Under the guidance of the situation analyzed by Longinus and the soul, the atmosphere in the field gradually became heavy.
Seeing that Longinus was able to stir up troubles in such a situation, the scorching eyes of those ladies and ladies wanted to swallow him alive, and some parts of his body were even faintly hot, which made them clamp their legs in shame.
King Xiska and King Crete took the lead in saying, "If the other two kings are also sincere, we are willing to put aside the hatred and prejudice in the past and cooperate."
"Cooperate..." The King of Alabasta tapped on the armrest lightly, seemingly hesitating.
And King Azka laughed, "I don't care about the rest, but there is one thing. Before starting your so-called covenant, I hope that the King of Alabasta can compensate me for the 100 billion Bailey war indemnity."
"hiss!"
Suddenly, there were many gasping voices in the hall. Has King Azka lost his mind?Although they now know that the Kingdom of Alabasta is not as powerful as it appears, at least until now, the war situation is still the absolute advantage of the Kingdom of Alabasta. He is trying to force the King of Alabasta and Are they fighting to the death?
Cobra's father, who was still hesitating, seemed to have released the shackles in his heart after hearing King Azka's arrogant words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "King Azka, did I hear you right? You Do you feel that your life is too moist and you want to try the taste of being down?"
"Hmph! Before you say something like this, you should look at yourself. Don't think that I don't know about the small actions you made in this war. If you don't want to lose your face and even be expelled from the ranks of the franchise countries, you'd better agree with it." My request." King Azka raised his neck proudly, consciously grasping the opponent's lifeline.
Everyone in the hall began to whisper, King Azka's gesture seemed to be relying on something!
Longinus frowned slightly. It seemed that Cobra was not the only one who knew about Alabasta's secret contact with the pirates. However, did he really think that such a scandal would bring down the King of Alabasta?
After all, secretly recruiting pirates can basically be regarded as a private tacit understanding among various countries. There is even an official pirate force like the Eight Treasures Navy. After being stabbed to the bright side, it only lowered Azika's royal family dignity and national reputation by a notch, and there was not much substantial blow.
All in all, in the eyes of the world government, as long as it does not plan riots and uprisings or involves vicious events such as historical texts that may subvert the government's rule, the decadent regime will not care too much at all.
Therefore, the King of Alabasta said calmly: "Oh? Are you referring to the fact that I hired pirates to join the war? I am here to reflect deeply and promise in front of Commodore Adkin that similar things It will never happen again after that.”
"Okay, I've already said what you want to say for you, what else do you want to say next?"
Seeing the king of Alabasta look like a hob, the other royal nobles felt helpless besides being angry. This old guy really doesn't care about the majesty of the royal family at all.
What does this make them do?
And the nobles of Azka were sweating for their king. He probably didn't expect that old guy to be so straightforward when he made trouble!
Unexpectedly, King Azka still looked like an old god, and said with a sneer, "King Alabasta, you are really proficient in avoiding the important and taking the light! It's a pity, you may not have thought that my information is better than you imagined." more detailed."
"You purposely moved the meeting forward to tonight. It's not because you can't leave the country for a long time because of the busy domestic affairs. You have only one purpose in doing this, and that is to facilitate the secret operation of a certain big pirate you contacted. Kill us all!"
