Just when the situation in the 'Teigu World' became even more tense due to the sudden appearance of the world government, the overall atmosphere that was already not very harmonious became even more tense.
Im, on the other hand, is still living a quite fulfilling life on Parady Island in the 'Giant World'.
Every morning at six o'clock, I opened my eyes, put Historia aside in my arms, washed myself under the care of the four Uyashiki sisters, and then picked up the 'Xihe' and went to practice swordsmanship on the lawn outside the house.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he entered his own bathhouse to take a bath. After coming out, he and Historia enjoyed a simple but extremely luxurious breakfast.
By this time, it was probably nine o'clock.
Im will read all kinds of information and documents prepared by Stusi in the study room, which are basically sent by the Five Old Stars and others. Through them, they can understand and control important matters of the world government.
Just doing this alone often takes about two hours.
Although the Five Old Stars and the others would not bring trivial matters to them, the size of the World Government is so huge, and there are countless things in all aspects.
Even though the external war is in full swing now, the development work in the worlds behind is also in progress.
Let’s talk about Haixing’s homeland first. After all, this is the basic market.
People's livelihood.
Mainly include food, housing, education, health, transportation, and entertainment.
As mentioned before, the World Government is implementing a plan to 'guarantee the basic living conditions of the Starfish people'. The specific process is to send working groups to each kingdom to conduct on-site investigations and check the living environment of the local people.
If a poor family or individual is found, the royal family of the country will be asked to cooperate with the working group to help them.
For example, help repair dilapidated houses, build new houses, provide free food, clothes, and even money, or arrange relatively decent jobs for them.
There are also working groups that need to select sites for the subsequent establishment of public schools, world hospitals, public bathhouses, public tennis halls, police stations and administrative agencies in each kingdom and city.
Among them, the royal families of each country can understand the functions of the first five, but the last one is not very clear.
Later, I heard the leaders of the working group explain to them that this was to improve the efficiency of communication between the royal family and the world government, and would not normally interfere with their internal affairs.
It is equivalent to being an embassy.
This made the royal family feel at ease immediately, and they actively cooperated with these working groups to help the lower class civilians, and it didn't cost them much money anyway.
That's right.
The assistance mentioned before was actually paid for and materials provided by the world government. Even the land for building schools, hospitals and other facilities was purchased with money from the king.
The core of construction workers are officials and architects from the Construction Department, and then local young adults from various countries are hired as labor.
This directly stimulated people's enthusiasm for construction in various places.
Of course, the cost must be very high, but since the world government has started to promote these, it must have considered the pros and cons, and finally found that it is profitable in the long run!
The current world government has three different worlds, and the fourth one is probably about to be obtained.
Therefore, in terms of resources, the world government has achieved relative "financial freedom" and "resource freedom", so there is no point in calculating the cost of these assistance.
The advantage of doing this is that it has gained "tons" or even "mass" of public support.
In the process of providing assistance, each working group will often emphasize the existence of the world government to the people, and even describe to them a better life in the future.
Give a classic example.
The Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea has no ‘garbage terminal’ for a long time. It is now a row of two-story houses with small courtyards.
There is also the ‘World Government Public School’, which includes four school districts of ‘elementary, middle and high school’, and the ‘World Government Public Bathhouse’, which can accommodate a thousand people at the same time.
There are also ten "World Hospitals" certified by medical schools as junior and intermediate doctors and a police station composed of 500 police officers at all levels responsible for patrolling and handling disputes.
Compared with the aristocratic area on the other side, the overall living environment and conditions can be said to be neither stronger nor weaker.
Even if some nobles suffer from any strange illness or are seriously injured, they have to be taken to the 'World Hospital' here for examination and treatment.
This situation will naturally arouse the red eyes of some nobles, but with the police department and government agencies there, they can only suppress their vicious thoughts.
Although the world government has stated that it will not interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, there is actually a prerequisite here.
That is, the laws of the world government are higher than the laws of each country!
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Garp now acquiesces and even tends to support the World Government's invasion of other worlds is because he sees these good changes in his eyes.
After all, he is still a starfish.
Then there are transportation and entertainment aspects.
Let’s talk about transportation first.
The "Flamingo Shipping Company" founded by Doflamingo with the support of the World Government has grown to a considerable scale in just a few years.
It has ten steel cruise ships with a capacity of 10,000 tons and more than 300 large and medium-sized passenger ships under its command.
Among them, medium-sized passenger ships are mainly used for traveling between islands in the sea, while large passenger ships are used for traveling between the four seas and the Great Sea Route.
To put it bluntly, it means passing through the windless zone!
Therefore, there was a certain demand for frigates. Doflamingo directly spent huge sums of money to buy warships from various countries that were confiscated by the world government in "Demon Slayer World".
Because there were too many of these warships, most of them would be destroyed and turned into various raw materials, so Wulaoxing simply agreed to sell some to him.
As for the escorts, Doflamingo also paid huge commissions and benefits, and accepted more than twenty "Top 100 Players".
Therefore, nowadays you can often see scenes of masters in red coats standing on frigates to protect cruise ships or passenger ships crossing the windless zone.
However, most of the 'Top 100 Players' still choose to visit the world of 'Demon Slayer' and 'Giant' as soon as possible.
The reason why I didn't go to the 'Kabane World' is because in order to protect the environment and various resources inside, the World Government has set it up as a 'Special Resource Star', prohibiting non-World Government personnel from entering and exiting at will.
And the ‘Teigu World’.
Everyone knows that a war of conquest is going on there, and except for a few people with a strong sense of adventure, most people are planning to wait until the war is over to go and see it.
besides.
There are also airship companies that have also opened in Haixing. Their business is mainly in air passenger transportation and air island tourism.
Although the speed of the airship is a bit slower, there is no problem with safety. The main reason is that the world government requires that the airbag of every airship must be wrapped with a layer of 'special coating' (Kabane's heart membrane).
There is also the special steam engine "McClatchy Mechanism" from "Kabane World", which was modified to be able to use sea water and was also used on airships.
In this way, even if there is no steam halfway, it can be replenished at any time when it falls on the sea.
As for the ‘Sea Train’ project in the Capital of Seven Waters, it can only be said that it is still under development. There is really no way to rush it. In the ‘original work’, it took more than ten years.
Now, even with the full support of the World Government, it cannot be shortened to a few years.
So Im just understood the progress and put it aside, but he was wondering if Vegapunk could take some time to help take a look?
His brain, which grows bigger with the accumulation of wisdom, may be able to provide Tom with some inspiration.
immediately.
Im wrote this idea with a pen at the bottom of the report.
"Eh?"
At this time, he saw a very interesting report, because the content was sent directly by Doflamingo in his capacity as the 'Ocean Shichibukai', bypassing the Five Old Stars.
"Open up the red earth continent on both sides of 'Upside Down Mountain' and 'Marie Gioia', and create four large tunnels that directly connect the four seas?"
This plan really moved Im.
Digging a tunnel in the red continent is staggering just reading the words. It is a continent, not an island!
It is equivalent to someone proposing to dig a river that runs through the entire border of the "Beautiful Country" and connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
If this relies on conventional labor, even if there are sufficient mechanical equipment of all kinds, who knows how many people are needed and how long it will take?
certainly.
The World Government is assisted by Devil Fruit users and various 'black' technologies, so the difficulty will be relatively small, but it is not much easier.
However, Doflamingo also wrote above that once the four tunnels are opened, how much efficiency will be improved for the maritime transportation within the starfish.
The most basic exchanges between the East China Sea, the West Sea, the North Sea, and the South China Sea will become extremely prosperous.
It's impossible to estimate how much benefit this will generate.
But what Im thought was that this didn't seem to be of much use to the World Government, because the World Government already had no shortage of Baileys and resources, and it would be no problem even if it didn't collect tax-like 'Heavenly Gold'.
Of course, due to political needs, it must be accepted.
The problem is that this project is completely public welfare, which means it is of little use to the world government, but it is of great help to the private sector.
For example, Doflamingo's shipping company will definitely make a lot of money.
at the same time.
If the ship traffic between the four seas becomes more frequent, the situation at sea will become more complicated, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty of management.
If you want to ensure that order does not make major mistakes, you need to invest more military expenditures in the navy so that it has more troops and warships, which increases management costs.
From the perspective of the world government, no matter how you look at it, it is purely asking for trouble, and it is entirely for the benefit of the people of the world.
If it were the previous Imwa World Government, they would definitely not agree to this without even thinking about it.
Now, after thinking about it for a moment, Im picked up the pen and agreed to the plan.
His idea is that since it can make his "home" better, why not do it?
If you need labor, you can call in manpower from other worlds. If you need machinery, you can also ask people from other worlds to make it.
Haixing only needs to send some soldiers to guard it, and then find a few targeted Devil Fruit ability users, or ask the Academy of Sciences to come up with some high-tech help.
As for the cost, again, the world government is not short of money, and hiring a large number of manpower from other worlds also has an advantage.
It can greatly improve the efficiency of Bailey's circulation in various worlds.
This is very important to the world government.
In Im's opinion, true conquest and domination can only be achieved if all the worlds are on the same track as the starfish, with the same writings, the same lines, the same land, the same weights, and the same coins!
"It seems that Pika and Teach will be very busy in the next few years."
Imdu felt that the two of them were responsible for too many big projects, but this also reminded him of the Western Army Commander Mori of the Revolutionary Army in the "original work".
A giant named Mori with a somewhat feminine personality, his superhuman ability to push fruits is very suitable for tunneling.
It's a pity that he is not in Elbaf, he must be traveling.
"But we can ask Elbaf to find a way to contact him."
Speaking of which, does Doflamingo really like the life of running a company and being the boss?
Im looked at the report thoughtfully.
Think about it, with the current World Government and Starfish, besides doing these, what else can you ask Doflamingo to do?
Selling arms? Slave trading?
Or continue to think about destroying the world?
Anyone with any brain knows that it is unrealistic and unreliable.
In addition, Doflamingo is still a Celestial Dragon, so it is impossible for him to join the military and fight in other worlds, because if he goes, who will listen to whom?
"Forget it, the role of 'King of Sea' is indeed suitable for him, but his strength needs to be strengthened. As my Shichibukai, it is too weak and embarrassing."
Im decided to temporarily call Doflamingo back.
Let him complement his physical skills and domineering skills on this ark, just like Tezoro and Enel.
correct.
Enelu is already eighteen years old this year, so he should be able to report to the Air Force Headquarters.
Finally, there is the entertainment aspect.
The key figure in this regard is Tezoro, who went to the Demon Slayer World with Princess Otohime during the previous battle.
The report stated that he had returned and was planning to try to build a movie theater on the Shampoo Islands, as well as write, direct, and star in the first Starfish movie.
It’s no surprise in terms of content. Tezzolo said he wanted a movie full of song and dance elements and a gorgeous overall style.
besides.
He also set up a new "Comics Department" in the Propaganda Department, preparing to turn the "Demon Slayer" and "Kabane" stories into comics and distribute them to all starfish.
Therefore, in order to collect materials, officials from the Propaganda Department are heading to Wanoshima to have a chat with the Ubuyashiki family.
"call----"
Im took a deep breath after seeing this, but there were still a lot of files left on the desktop.
He raised his head and glanced at Stussy, who was waiting silently on the sofa not far away, and then continued to pick up a report document about the Academy of Sciences.
And these are just things inside the starfish!
Next, there will be a progress report on the development of ‘Kabane World’, a progress report on the construction of the mainland railway network of ‘Demon Slayer World’ and the Bangzi Peninsula Star Gate Base.
Even the 'Giant World' where I am now has reports, mainly about the situation in Parade Island, Canberra Mainland and other 'absolutely free' areas.
In addition to these, there are also reports on the battle situation in the 'Teigu World' that is being conquered.
so.
It is not easy for Im to personally steer the World Government, a giant ship that spans multiple worlds. He has to read a large number of documents almost every day, and then annotate his orders from time to time.
After reading these.
Later, he will need to read medical books to enrich his theoretical knowledge, and also learn various practical medical operations from Hippocrates, the Medical Superintendent.
After that, we will conduct in-depth research and explore the potential of 'life return' and 'dominance', trying to further improve our strength by relying on our own wisdom and ability.
What can be called leisure activities every day is playing tennis and interacting with Historia in the evening.
So don't think that Im doing nothing every day.
He is very busy!
Two chapters in one big chapter,
This chapter is to familiarize everyone with the current situation of Starfish and some of the things going on.
