"If you don't have any objections, let's leave it at that."
Kuro sat back, holding a cigar arrogantly, "The sea area around Meng Island and the shipping lanes do not allow any war. Of course, if you are willing to go around in a big circle and continue fighting, I have no problem with it. I am the navy, not you."
The ministers of the kingdom cannot control that much."
"That's what I say, but Mr. Clow."
Salor organized his language and said: "You say this is a naval base, I have no objection, but the kingdom's senior officials may not agree. After all, you don't even have a base. If you just say this is a base, it doesn't matter.
The evidence is not."
"That's right!"
Enoch, who was twitching on the ground, got up and squatted on the table, "You said this is a naval base, where is the approval? Where is the base? One warship doesn't mean anything. You can stop us, you can stop the entire kingdom.
Do you have the power? Can you stop those armed merchants who can transform into pirates at any time, let alone those pirates who are inherently evil!"
"Whether it can be stopped or not, that's our navy's business. As for the base."
Kuro left his seat and walked outside, "Who said there is no base? Come and see, isn't that a base?"
He walked outside, pointed at the empty hillside in the upper city, and said matter-of-factly.
A few people went out together. Salor remained silent. Enoch paused for a while, holding his swollen cheek and gritting his teeth: "You are insulting me. Even if it means death, I will never admit that you have something here."
base!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qrow raised his hand.
Enoch screamed strangely, holding his head and hiding behind Salol.
"Why are you panicking? I won't hit you."
Kuro glanced at him, clasped his fingers and said, "I said it does, it does!"
boom!
The ruins suspended in the sky suddenly landed on the hillside. When they landed, the ruins began to be arranged and assembled, creating the appearance of a naval base fortress. There was a huge lion head hanging on it, and there were two people sitting on both sides of the door.
A large stone lion, and at the top, there is the navy's peace seagull logo.
"Look, this is no longer there."
Kuro said something, and his captain said without the slightest bit of self-consciousness: "I will send a report later, saying that I and the nobles of Ruoman and Suknai have negotiated in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. The two countries have taken preliminary steps.
It has been decided that Meng Island will be designated as a base for our navy, and the specific details will be finalized by the higher-ups."
He emphasized the word "cordial and friendly" very seriously.
Salor: "..."
Enoch: "..."
So, where is the friendliness in this place?
"I will respond to the World Government!"
Enoch took a deep look at Kuro and led the others away.
There is no way to start a fight. Under the strong pressure of the navy, this island will not make any mistakes. There is no point in staying any longer.
"I also resigned. Just wait for your superiors to punish you. The World Government will not condone you for being so willful."
Salor said, paused again, watched Enoch leading people away, and whispered: "To be honest, I am very grateful to you. Neither Ruoman nor Suknai actually want to fight, but
This is our tradition, and we can't change anything. If you really have the ability to bring peace between the two countries, that is a great thing. If you can't do it, you'd better do it. No one wants to do it wantonly.
A waste of life.”
He took the people with him and left.
The fleets of the two countries sailed into the sea one after the other.
After they left, nearby residents dared to come out.
Several people from the older generation trembled and looked at the direction they were leaving with tears streaming down their cheeks, "How could it be possible? Why did they come? Will Meng Island suffer from war again?"
Twenty years of peace have made the younger generation forget the tragedy of Moe Island, but they still remember that there were corpses everywhere, there was no production, only chaotic pirates and merchants who took the opportunity to capture slaves here
.
Flames, coke, dead bodies, that kind of environment are still vivid in the minds of the older generation, and they simply don't want to experience this kind of hell-like scene again.
"Why is this happening!"
An old man yelled: "Obviously, I have contributed to Mr. Polopa. My son and my daughter are all handed over to Mr. Polopa. They promised to bring us peace. Why did the fleets of the two countries
Will come! So what is the purpose of everything we do? If they are destined to come, then give me my child back!!!"
"The same goes for my children. Back then, Master Polupa conscripted my children, and I never saw them again. But now, where is the peace? Where is the peace!"
A group of old men shouted one after another, and several middle-aged women hugged each other and wept silently. Their children, or their husbands, were also recruited by Polo Pa and never came back.
These are all for the sake of peace, and they are willing to endure and "pay tribute". But if peace does not exist now, then what is the meaning of everything before!
The crowd became noisy, and sadness and anger began to appear on everyone's face.
Kuro glanced at it and silently exhaled a puff of smoke. He held the handle of the Qiu Shui knife and revealed a gap with a 'swish' sound.
call!
The murderous aura turned into reality, oppressing everyone's nerves. This sudden and powerful momentum made these people calm down.
"Everyone listen."
Kuro took back the autumn water and said loudly: "Poropa, your knight here accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff and died. He was washed away by the sea water and even his body was not found. This means that you
From now on, there is no need to 'tribute' anything to him, because this place is taken over by our navy, and from now on, it will become a naval base."
"This place will be more peaceful than before. You don't have to pay anything except your taxes. We will protect your personal safety!"
"Lord Prapa is dead?"
"The Navy will keep us safe?!"
"Then in this case, no one will force us to be homeless again."
The crowd was jostling and whispering to each other.
Some were happy, some were worried.
The joy is that he no longer has to make friends with the ruler, but the worry is that he is worried about whether the navy can have the prestige of Polopa and whether it can maintain the peace here.
"Is it true that Bonaparte Poropa is dead?"
An old man came out, trembling, and confirmed again and again: "That guy, no, that dwarf, is he really dead?"
Seeing Kuro nod, the old man immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, dancing for a while before covering his face and crying.
He is the old man whose son and daughter were recruited by Polopa just now.
"Master Navy, can you really protect our safety?"
He raised his head, and his old face looked as if it had been soaked in water.
Kuro looked around, looking at their worried and frightened looks, and said slowly: "I guarantee with the honor of the navy that nothing will happen to you."
