The first problem after the Warring States Period came to power was financial constraints and no money.
Originally, they occupied the Grand Line and were rich. But now that the pirates in the second half of the line are getting more and more rampant, it is difficult to collect taxes, and the income has been cut in half. Then they have to ensure that the navy controls the first half of the Grand Line, and
Military activities all over the world require money.
With less income and more money, how will you live your life?
On the one hand, it is to activate the Shichibukai system and use pirates to control pirates. On the other hand, it is to increase taxes and find ways to make more money.
Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is the top priority in Buddha's Warring States Period. As for arresting Dulan and Dinisha, it is too time-consuming and thankless. The navy's justice is social freedom, and only stable order can operate. Therefore, he must grasp the main contradiction.
.
It's definitely true, but unfortunately it's really difficult to deal with things like lack of money. Almost all dynasties ended because of lack of money.
Without money, people’s hearts will be scattered.
But the current situation is that there is no place to make money. Pirates are getting stronger and stronger, eroding the basis of taxation. Moreover, the opponents are not only pirates, but also the navy distribution in various places is devouring money. But they have to give it, because if they don’t give money, the branch will
Don't suppress bandits.
"Respect yourself when raising pirates!" Warring States slapped his hand on the table. He was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the branch: "If you give money, we will destroy the pirates. If you don't give it, we will let the pirates develop or even collude. It will be a loss for our headquarters."
!”
At the end of the dynasty, how many times were they killed by peasant uprisings? Which time was it not a peasant uprising? The nobles from all over the country supported their own troops and then changed dynasties?
The Warring States Period was very angry. These branches were so outrageous.
However, the strength of the headquarters is not enough to control such a large area, so it must rely on the branches. As a result, the branches cannot lose their strength and support the bandits.
"Hey, it's better not to fight pirates now than to fight them." The staff officer said: "Fighting is just to fatten up each branch and form more warlords. If we don't fight, the headquarters can still save some money for emergencies.
need."
Warring States smiled bitterly and said: "If we don't fight, the pirates will continue to expand and encroach on our territory, and branches in various places will collude with the pirates."
Fighting or not fighting is a problem.
Warring States Period, my head hurts.
This is the same as in the Tang Dynasty. Everyone only felt that An Lushan and Shi Siming were vassal towns, but did not realize that Li Guangbi and Guo Ziyi were also vassal towns. The emperor's own power had long been very weak and he could not control it at all.
The same is true for the Navy headquarters. It may seem like pirates are a big problem, but in fact the Navy branch is also a problem. The hegemony of the world's navy is already in jeopardy.
It seems that once the Demon-Slaying Order comes out, who can compete with it, but where are the Demon-Slaying Orders hitting? They are all villages and towns, just like a strong man beating a child.
Robin's hometown doesn't even have an army or a few ships. Does destroying a place like this prove the strength of the navy? Obviously not.
There is basically no way to solve this dilemma. Even if the hard-line Akainu comes to power later, there is nothing he can do. Even if he pretends to have a decisive battle with the pirates, it is just a show.
Therefore, the Navy wants to ensure the status of its headquarters through the improvement of science and technology, hoping to solve the problem by manufacturing decisive battle weapons, and falls into a vicious circle of using limited funds to manufacture decisive battle weapons.
What should I do if I have no money? Make decisive weapons and decide the outcome in one battle.
This kind of thinking is definitely impossible to succeed, but if you don't do this, the Warring States Period doesn't know what to do. Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure are just a temporary solution, not the root cause. If you want to fundamentally solve the problem, you still need decisive weapons to increase the absolute power of the headquarters.
Facing a mess, Seng Guo's head hurt.
Du Lan also saw that the era of rebellion was coming soon: "Just like the late Ming Dynasty, a large part of the reason why the Qing Dynasty rose so quickly was that the Ming Dynasty personnel in the northeast had long colluded with the Qing Dynasty. Now the branch of the Navy
They also colluded with local forces. They didn’t have the courage to suppress the bandits, but they had the courage to make money under the pretext of suppressing the bandits.”
"It is indeed the end of the dynasty. Both the navy and pirates are eroding the strength of the headquarters. They are constantly consuming money and further weakening the headquarters. This trend is difficult to stop. Luffy goes to sea and penetrates the Grand Line, which feels a bit like Alexander."
There are two reasons why Alexander penetrated Persia in ten years. One is that Alexander's military strength is indeed not weak, and the other is that Persia is also in a mess and has no unity at all.
Once Alexander died, the territory he conquered was immediately divided, which was enough to prove that this land could no longer maintain a huge country.
"It's very similar to Temujin. Everywhere he goes, he cooperates with the local forces and gets recognized." Duran said: "Luffy may be recognized by all the pirates and navy. As long as he is alive, everyone will recognize him. He
Once dead, the world will continue to go to war." "The so-called will of D is probably the lost 100-year-old national jade seal, which proves the legitimacy of Luffy becoming the common master of the world. The lost 100-year history is the will of D
Manage the time of the world, and the twenty countries are all followers of Will D. When Will D died, twenty countries established the current order. Covering up the history for a hundred years is just an attempt to cover up, fearing that Will D will gain power again
The support of the world shakes one's own position."
Dinisha said: "Then Luffy looks like Liu Bei again, and the will of D is the Han clan clan."
"Indeed." Dulan laughed: "You can see the shadow of many entrepreneurs in Luffy. Not only Liu Bei has the title of Han clan clan, Alexander is also called the child of Zeus, and he said that his mother likes
Sleeping with a python is much more powerful than being a member of the Han clan. You have to find a reason for your legitimacy."
Even when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, there would be "books hidden in the belly of fishes and wild foxes howling at night", and they would use feudal superstition to say "Great Chu is rising, King Chen Sheng". There are also Liu Bang's White Snake-killing Uprising and the Red Emperor killing the White Emperor.
For legality.
Liu Bei said that he was a member of the Han clan, so Luffy was the will of D.
What the will of D actually is is actually not important. What is important is that everyone recognizes this thing. This is legitimacy.
It is only a matter of time before Luffy breaks through the Grand Line. When the world government loses people's hearts because of lack of money, he will be the co-owner of the world, and D's will will be its legitimacy.
Why did Roger say that he arrived at the end of the Grand Line at the wrong time? Because at this time, the World Government still had money, and no one wanted to overthrow the world and conquer it.
Rebellion requires timing, not excuses.
Roger's time has not come yet, so even if he becomes the Pirate King, it will be useless. As long as there is money to conquer the world, their distribution relationship will work, and the Pirate King will not be able to shake them.
Roger must have discovered that the missing hundred years of history was actually the history of the will of D ruling the world, relying on the three major weapons to become the common master of the world, with twenty countries as followers.
After the death of the co-lord of the world, twenty countries usurped the status of the co-lord of the world, and because they were afraid that D's will would turn into D's revenge, they hid the truth of D's will.
The twenty countries definitely don't want everyone to know about their usurping the throne, and they don't want others to use D's will to cause trouble, so they can just erase history.
In fact, it's useless. As long as they don't have money, even if they don't have the will of D, they still have the will of ABC. Naturally, someone will overthrow them. Besides, the will of D has not been forgotten. Many people remember it. It is exactly the same as Liu Bei's Han clan clan, true or false.
It doesn't matter, naturally some people will believe it.
For Roger, if the time comes, even if he has the true will of D, it will be useless. When the time comes, even if Luffy has a false will of D, everyone will support him.
In the end, Luffy was the real Will of D, and it was the Will of D decreed by the emperor. This turned Roger from a tragic figure ahead of his time into a clown.
It is completely fatalistic, without the helplessness and heaviness of history rolling forward. Luffy is the sun god who brings hope to the world. It is not the changes of the times that create new heroes, but no matter how the times change, the winner is determined by fate.
, not one who stands out in the waves.
It's not that heroes seize the times, and times make heroes. It's fate that chooses heroes, and heroes change the times. The rubber fruit is the qualification certificate issued by fate. If you don't have the certificate, get out.
Of course, unless all the fruits can awaken and become gods, there will be a great battle between gods in the end.
