The Pirate's Dark Admiral

Chapter 421 Small country with few people & train network
In the empty room, Longinus sat alone.

In front of him was a phone bug with a humane smile.

"It's surprising that a man like you would come to talk to us about a shipbuilder."

"Even with Roger's aura, his identity should be nothing to you."

Intelligence agencies like CP pay the most attention to the accuracy of information. If the reported results are found to be false in the end, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the person in charge.

Therefore, Spandam will not report his guess until he finds the Pluto blueprint.

Of course, another important reason is that Spandam is worried that someone will share his credit.

This also makes Wu Laoxing not aware of what happened to Tom.

"I hope to keep him, it's all based on the idea of ​​the sea train." Longinus explained without haste.

"Sea train?" The voice from the phone bug paused for a moment, "I've also learned about it, so it's a little new."

"What? You still want to develop trade?"

For the well-informed Wulaoxing, the sea train is just like that. Even if it can promote the development of commerce and trade, it is still dispensable in their eyes.

"Of course not." Longinus said seriously, "In my opinion, the most important significance of the sea train is to suppress the development wave of the revolutionary army."

"Oh? The wave of development of the Revolutionary Army?" Hearing Longinus mention the Revolutionary Army, the Five Old Stars also looked at it squarely.

In the past two years, more than a dozen kingdoms have been overthrown one after another.

For the government, this loss is actually insignificant.

But the problem is that the revolutionary army used their means to prove their existence, and at the same time, they also used this to fuel the wave of revolutionary ideas.

The trend of free thought has become more and more intense.

In today's sea, there are pirates stirring up the wind and rain in the new world, and there are undercurrents of revolutionary armies surging in the four seas.

Even the world government cannot continue to ignore this chaos.

Time to make a change!

"Please explain carefully."

"Yes." Longinus talked to the phone bug, "Most of the revolutionary army's activities are in the four seas, with a vast territory and many kingdoms, but the government and navy are relatively weak."

"Once a rebellion occurs, it will be difficult for the government to send a fleet to counter the rebellion immediately. The sea stone mosaic technology invented by Dr. Vegapunk, although it can allow the fleet to cross the windless belt, it has indeed relieved us to a certain extent. pressure, but... still not enough!"

"We need to use a more convenient way to closely connect the context of this world into a whole. Once a rebellion occurs, we don't even need to send troops from the headquarters. The naval forces in the entire sea area can counter the rebellion in time."

"You said that the way to connect this world into a whole is the sea train?" Wulaoxing's voice sounded at the right time, with no emotion or anger.

"Well! Once the train network is rolled out, it will be able to connect the four seas and even the entire first half of the great sea route with the headquarters as the center. By then, the government's control over the world will also reach an unprecedented level."

Hearing what Longinus said, the phone bug's breathing became a little quicker.

The World Government is not a unified country, but a politically dispersed group of countries with more than 170 affiliated countries around the world.

It's not that the world government doesn't want to increase its control, it's just that it can't.

According to Longinus' understanding, the current world government is very similar to the ocean civilization called "Ancient Greece" in a different world.

There are many islands, the sea is blocked, and the transportation is difficult, creating a city-state system of small countries with few people.

The ties between the various city-states are loose and the relationship is indifferent. Only through overseas trade can the exchanges between the city-states be maintained.

The only difference is that the World Government relied on absolute military repression to maintain this loose alliance for 800 years.

Therefore, Wulaoxing, who possesses the highest power in the world, would naturally want to take this power one step further.

However, they are not yet overwhelmed by greed.

"The most critical question about this proposal is, how do you ensure safety?"

"The route close to the headquarters of the navy and the major branches may have enough deterrence, but if there are too many lines laid, the train is easy to be hijacked, and the track may be damaged."

"The people of the Revolutionary Army are not stupid. If they really want to launch a rebellion, they will definitely destroy the adjacent tracks immediately. In this way, the train network we laid will only become a waste of material and financial resources."

Hearing Wu Laoxing's doubts, Longinus explained in a calm tone, "The key to solving this hidden danger lies in the murlocs."

"You mean, let those murlocs help us guard the orbit." Wu Laoxing's tone was full of distrust.

"The murlocs are natural sea warriors. The general revolutionary army has no way to destroy the track under their protection. It would be even better if the revolutionary army sent high-level cadres. We can definitely set traps and arrest them based on this." Lang Keinus said bewitchingly.

"As for the murloc's loyalty, I don't think there is any need to worry about it. On the one hand, Princess Otohime and I will actively guide and try to eliminate the murloc's hatred for the government; on the other hand, we can capture Drago and kill Fisher El Tiger made a lot of publicity about this, and aroused the murlocs' hatred for the Revolutionary Army."

Hearing Longinus mention Fisher Tiger, the satisfied smile of Wu Laoxing was perfectly presented to Longinus through the phone bug.

Obviously they are the real murderers, but they can throw the blame on the enemy, this kind of feeling is simply not too pleasant.

"However, Tom is still related to Roger after all. It is always worrying to hand over such a huge project as the train network to him."

"It's a pity, Your Excellency Wu Laoxing. The only ones who can do this are Tom and his two disciples."

Longinus did not lie. In the original trajectory, the only three trains in the world were made by the three of them.

The world's outstanding shipbuilders are gathered in the capital of seven waters, but the capital of seven waters has long been in decline, and it can be said that there are very few people who can devote themselves to shipbuilding like the three of Tom.

Most of the shipbuilders who did not change careers starved to death.

In such a comparison, it is not an exaggeration to say that the shipbuilding technology of the three of them is ahead of an era.

"One more thing, Tom's identity as a murloc may also provide a lot of convenience for our next actions."

There was a moment of silence on the phone bug, and Wulaoxing's voice finally rang out.

"General Longinus, your statement and sincerity have indeed moved us. Well, the project of the train network will be left to you to handle."

"You can also prioritize the mobilization of government resources."

After speaking, the voice of the phone bug fell silent, and the room returned to silence.

The bright light cast on the face of Longinus reflected a face with soft tones.

"If you look at a problem from a different angle, you will get a completely different answer."

"In the eyes of the world government, the train network will be their sharp weapon to suppress riots, but in the eyes of the revolutionary army, the train network is also the bullet for them to deal a fatal blow to the world government through 'surrounding the city from the countryside'."

"For the future movement, I have already played the prelude for you! Next, it is my turn to listen quietly!"
