Although they are still called pirates, they are getting closer to hunters. Pirates are not even allowed to kill people and set fires, which is very strange.
If you don't rob merchant ships, are you still called pirates?
But Ace still announced a series of new rules, and it doesn’t matter if they are weird. Because the more weird they are, the more they can unite people who accept the rules. Weird rules are a good way to distinguish between us and them. It’s like Zhao Gao is calling a deer a horse, very
You can effectively and quickly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and then you can quickly enter the game.
For example, the privileges of the Celestial Dragons: those who kneel to the Celestial Dragons are our own, and those who do not kneel are our enemies.
Therefore, pirates are not allowed to kill people and set fires. They can also distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If you don't accept it, you are the enemy.
Ace, the new king, is changing the image of pirates step by step. Although he has not yet ascended to the throne of the Pirate King, he has a lot of things to do.
Of course, even though Ace is married, he is still innocent and has not had any improper relations with any woman. He has kept himself clean. The marriage is only in name only, just to unify the power of the Four Emperors.
Faced with these changes, the navy was confused. Who would have thought that the four emperors would cooperate because of their marriage? This is not scientific at all. Now the navy is under great pressure in the second half, because the four emperors have united to form a siege on the navy.
potential.
Akainu looked at the staff and general in silence, waiting for their suggestions.
But there was dead silence in the office, no one spoke, because there was nothing anyone could do.
"Advisor, please tell me."
"Then let me throw some light on things. I think the best way now is to wait until the conflicts within the Four Emperors break out. I think there must be conflicts within the Four Emperors."
Everyone knows this nonsense, but when will it explode?
Moreover, there are also conflicts within the Navy. What if conflicts within the Navy break out first? Everyone knows that there is a new navy within the navy, and many young people are waiting to replace the old navy.
"When will the conflict between the four emperors break out?" someone asked.
"It should be soon, not too long. What Ace is doing now is simply unpopular. Pirates have always claimed to be free people, but now they want to be rated. This kind of perverse behavior cannot always be supported.
So we just have to wait. Even if we get married, the relationship is not stable and conflicts will definitely break out."
Is Akainu just waiting?
What else can be done without waiting? The Navy has made a lot of efforts, but things are getting worse.
In fact, Akainu also wants to reform, but unfortunately there are many obstacles to reform, and there is no chance to clean up the navies in various places. Now not only can they not clean up, but they have to delegate power to the navies in various places.
"Right now, it's not just the problem of the four emperors." Another staff officer said: "There is also the collusion between various naval branches and various participating countries. Everyone has a prediction that the world order led by the world government is about to collapse.
, then every country will build high barriers, restore arms, and have to protect themselves. The era of leaving security to the navy has passed, and they will need their own arms in the future. Once they form an armed force, they will not only attack pirates
As an enemy, even our navy is an enemy."
This is indeed the trend.
The reason why the participating countries do not form their own armies is because the navy can protect them. However, as the navy becomes weaker, all countries are strengthening their military construction. When their armies are completed, they will not only target pirates.
The navy is under great pressure, and the navy may be surrounded and beaten in the future.
"You are only talking about big countries like Alabasta. There are also many small countries that are firmly on the side of the navy."
"Yes, but small countries have no money, so they need naval protection. They support us because we pay a lot of costs. They only want rights and do not want obligations. The support of these small countries will only be a burden."
"The biggest problem now is pirates. As long as we kill the pirates, we can once again prove the strength of the navy."
After a round of discussion, the problem returned to its original place.
But the problem is that it cannot be solved, and the meeting has no results.
Fujitora feels that something that is obviously very simple has become very complicated. It is obvious that what the Navy needs to do now is to set an example, abolish the Shichibukai, get rid of the Four Emperors, and reduce the privileges of the Tianlong people. Why would it do something that is obviously very simple?
It has to be so complicated?
Why is everyone unwilling to do such a simple thing?
"I want to speak." Fujitora said.
"Please speak." Akainu probably knew what Fujitora was going to say, but he still let him speak.
So Fujitora said: "Our navy should set an example and draw a clear line with pirates..."
After everyone listened, they thought that they were really like the old three. Fujitora really thought these things were easy because he couldn't see the difficulties.
Without the suppression of the Shichibukai, there will only be more and more pirates. The Shichibukai kills a lot of pirates every year.
Then kill the Four Emperors. If they can, they won't have to hold a meeting. There is also a restriction on the privileges of the Celestial Dragons. If they restrict the Celestial Dragons today, will they restrict the nobles of various countries tomorrow? By then, their navy will lose credibility.
Fujitora heard that everyone was silent and asked: "Did I say something wrong?"
"You're right, but sometimes doing the right thing may not necessarily lead to success. These are the navy's means to maintain stability. If these means are abolished, we will become unstable first."
"But these tactics have become a liability."
"Yes, but even if it is a burden, we have to bear it. Once we give up these burdens, we will give up our advantage. What will we use to attract people to join us? By then we will be exactly the same as Ace, why don't you choose
Ace, choose us? We can just surrender," the staff officer said.
"But if this continues, there's no way the Navy is going to win."
This is the endogeneity of contradictions. The advanced system that originally distinguished us and them has now become its own limitation. Once you give up, you will no longer be able to distinguish between us and them, and you will merge into them, and ultimately you will fail.
Why should we establish a threshold to distinguish us from them? In order to prevent resources from flowing out, we should keep resources within the circle. However, as time goes by, resources are becoming more and more concentrated, and fewer and fewer resources are flowing. As a result, not only does the threshold not bring
benefits, but hinders everyone's development.
Both internally and externally, they want to break the threshold, just like the black bird of the Yin merchants who was ordered by heaven, or like the chosen son of some people. They are all to establish the threshold and prevent resources from flowing out.
But the threshold also limits internal development. Externally, it changes with each passing day, and in the end it is directly defeated.
If the threshold is gone, we will be mixed with them, and we will not necessarily have an advantage. The original intention of establishing the threshold is actually because resources will flow out, and because the advantage cannot always exist, once the advantage disappears, it will be over. But it has been established
Thresholds will be broken over time and as external developments develop.
How to make it last long? That is, there must be a threshold, but the threshold must allow people to come in and out. Let those who are willing to come in, add fresh blood, and let those who are willing to leave, leave.
Then the question comes again, what should we do if the people who are leaving take away the resources, but the people who come in have no resources and want to share them? In this way, wouldn’t it be finished faster?
This requires establishing a space for people to progress within the threshold. People without resources can come in and create resources through labor. People who leave can only take away the income from their labor.
This requires a very strong system and culture. No matter who leaves, there will be talent immediately to replenish the company and maintain operations.
In short, after the threshold is established, it will be good for one's own people for a period of time, but it will no longer be beneficial as time goes by. It is also consistent with the endogeneity of contradictions, the opposition and unity of contradictions.
But thresholds cannot be dispensed with. After all, the first step for humans to establish a society is to distinguish us from them. Using thresholds to retain resources is the key to human survival and development.
But with development, the threshold itself has become more important than the people. The threshold is still there, but the people have vacated the cage and changed the birds. The threshold no longer serves people, but people serve the threshold.
