In addition to a 50,000-ton battleship and several destroyer frigates, it was also equipped with battleships purchased from the East China Sea and made of Adam's wood.

This fleet of our headquarters can already be said to be the second strongest fleet in the pirate world. As for the strongest fleet...

Naturally, it is still the East China Sea Fleet.

Coupled with the aerial firepower support of fighter planes and the rapid deployment of elite troops from transport aircraft, the plan Akainu had prepared for several months could finally be launched.

Destroy the BIGMOM pirates and liberate the seas of all nations!

Why choose BIGMOM to start?

Naturally, because BIGMOM's arm has been cut off by Li Yan, its strength has declined.

At the same time, during the previous war in the East China Sea, several of her children were captured and are still imprisoned on the prison island. Even Katakuri, the strongest among her children, was captured to cover the evacuation of others.

Therefore, the BIGMOM pirates at this moment are indeed seriously damaged in strength, and Akainu is confident that he can wipe them out in one fell swoop with his own strength.

Of course, if we really take action, we still need to wait two or three months.

After all, the pilots of the headquarters still need to learn how to fly the plane, and based on the distance between the headquarters and Wanguo, the combat radius of the fighter planes is not enough.

Therefore, in addition to the problem of pilots, Akainu also needs to find an island and secretly build an airport to be used as a relay.

Since it is only used by fighter planes, the airport does not need to be very big, and even the runway only needs a few hundred meters.

However...

But Akainu didn't know that he underestimated BIGMOM this time...

------

The first half of the Grand Line.

Alabasta.

If you want to ask which country is the most popular during this period, it is undoubtedly Alabasta.

Mining and refining stone, plus supplying automobile production lines around the world...

A large amount of wealth was continuously imported into this kingdom.

As the demand for stone continued to increase, in addition to Yuba, the oil fields located east of Catlea also began construction.

Originally, Alabasta, one of the poorest kingdoms on the Great Line, has now transformed...

It has become the richest kingdom, and it is not ordinary rich.

The speed at which money is coming in makes even the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea feel dizzy after seeing it.

Free education, free medical care, and even free monthly dividends for all citizens, the civilian happiness index is directly off the charts.

With sufficient funds, the construction of the Royal Army was also very rapid. In addition to purchasing a large number of firearms and artillery from the East China Sea, Kobra purchased a number of additional warships to continue to expand the Royal Navy to protect Alabasta's long coastline.

, and the Santo River.

At this moment, a meeting is being held in the palace.

Participants include King Kobra, Oil and Gas Development Minister Kosha, Kingdom Guard Captain Yin Kalam, and East China Sea Navy's special representative Ain.

The first topic they discussed was the development and security of the Catalaya oil field.

After all, the development rights had been sold to Li Yan a long time ago, so if it were to be developed, the scale would still have to be approved by Donghai.

Of course, Li Yan would not deliberately embarrass Kobra, and soon Ain and Kobra reached a consensus.

After Kosha left, Ain talked about another mission he came here this time.

You know, if it was just oil field development, there would be no need for her to come here at all. Obviously, Ain has other important tasks.

"Your Majesty Cobra, according to the information from our East China Sea Intelligence Department, there have been many unidentified people hanging around you and Weiwei recently. Have you noticed it?"

Hearing this, Kobra did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Yin Kalem.

After all, Yin Kalem is his kingdom guard captain, so he is naturally responsible for this issue.

"It is true that something has been found, but its identity cannot be confirmed yet,"

"Moreover, this group of people is very skilled. I have set traps twice to capture them, but they failed in the end. Moreover, these two actions cost my escort team more than 20 people."

On the side, Yin Kalem nodded and said immediately.

He also felt ashamed when he said it.

As far as he knew so far, there should only be 2 or 3 people on the other side, no more than 5 people at most, and he had arranged hundreds of people for both traps.

But this result...

Not only were no one captured, more than 20 people were killed and most of the others injured during the operation.

You know, the members of the escort team are all the most elite people in the royal army, but despite a hundred-fold strength gap, they were still completely beaten by the opponent.

so...

Alabasta now has a large number of royal troops, and its weapons and equipment are also very powerful. Even its fleet can be called the strongest outside of the navy.

But that fatal problem cannot be solved.

Over there is...

Lack of high-end combat power!

Although Weiwei can barely be counted as one, on the one hand, Weiwei still belongs to the navy, and on the other hand, she needs to be stationed at Yuba, and there are really no experts in the royal capital of Albana.

Even if they are not CP0, even if they are CP1-CP9, they can be considered top-level combatants here.

In addition, these CP agents are conducting covert operations rather than direct conflicts.

Therefore, it is difficult for the Royal Army or the King's Guards to form an effective deterrent against them.

"Your Majesty Cobra, General Li Yan asked me to tell you that he can help you solve this problem, but he needs the cooperation of Alabasta."

"How to cooperate?"

Cobra also asked quickly.

After all, it's not a good thing to have a group of dangerous lunatics who are completely helpless with the escort, hanging around you all day long, isn't it?

"In our East China Sea Navy, there is a device called radar that can detect all targets within hundreds of kilometers around it, whether they are dead or alive."

"The most important thing is that he can show the approximate strength of a person's power!"

"In other words, as long as this kind of radar is installed in Alabasta, we can immediately find these people and arrest them."

"At the same time, anyone with a certain level of strength who enters Alabasta in the future can be discovered and located as soon as possible!"

hiss...

And this thing?

Isn't this equivalent to a super surveillance network with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, or one that can make everyone unable to hide?

As long as we have this thing, then Alabasta's safety index won't just explode?

"How do I need to cooperate?"

Although he was shocked by the effects he heard, Koubulak did not forget that Ain had said before...

This requires your own cooperation.

In other words, it’s not free!

"Your Majesty Cobra, after hearing the function of this thing, you should understand that it is an important piece of equipment with strategic significance."

"So, one is that we need a land to build a radar station, and the other is that we need to station at least a thousand marines to protect this important asset!"

Land, garrison!

Cobra was not surprised by these two things.

After all, even if he doesn't understand military affairs, he can still understand what such a device means.

If there is not enough protection and it is damaged or stolen, then things will be very serious.

In fact, the garrison of the East China Sea Navy is not harmful to Alabasta. Just look at Aluma on the other side of the Santo River.

Except for the pirates who were taken out of the impel city last time, who dares to go there to cause trouble?

What contributed to this phenomenon was the East China Sea Naval Base stationed in Juba.

Look at the east side of the Santo River, the rapeseed flowers...

Although hundreds of thousands of royal troops were deployed, the pirates still continued to cause trouble every day.

That's the difference.

The most important thing is that the navy has no interest in the kingdom and its governance, so for Kobra, the navy is still very welcome to station here.

"I agree to this matter. As long as it doesn't disturb the people, you can choose any location. Even the daily expenses of these thousand sailors will be covered by us in Alabasta!"

"Is it enough to give 100 million Baileys a year? If not, then 200 million!"

make up one's mind.

Cobra waved his hand and said boldly.

If Li Yan saw this scene, he would definitely make a complaint...

Sure enough, no matter in the past life or in this life, those who live in the desert are rich...
Chapter completed!
