Chapter 138 Don't be afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs
"Fort fortress?"

Hearing Rorschach's plan, everyone couldn't help being a little surprised.

For pirates who only think about plundering wealth, "construction" is a very unfamiliar word.

What they want, they can only use the cannon and machete in their hands to grab it.

They are better at destroying than building.

As for the idea of ​​building a military facility like a fortress in Nassau, they never even thought about it!
However, among the people present, Blackbeard Henigold, who had the most thought about Nassau's future, discussed the issue of "how to strengthen Nassau's defense".

His eyes flashed, and Blackbeard asked the most critical question first: "Sounds good. But where does the cost of building the fort come from?"

Facing everyone's eyes, Luo Xia raised his right hand, opened his palm, and said, "As the proposer, I will offer [-] pesos for the initial construction expenses."

After a pause, he continued:

"Of course, fifty thousand pesos is just a drop in the bucket. However, you should also understand that Nassau is not my Nassau alone, but the Nassau of all pirates."

"So, I hope that all members of the Pirate Alliance can support and fund this construction project, and together make Nassau stronger!"

"It's for Nassau, it's for us, and it's for a higher goal!"

After finishing speaking, Rorschach returned to his seat.

Looking around, Hornigold looked at the captains who were lost in thought, couldn't help but slapped the table twice with his fist, and then said:
"Well, Captain Rorschach has given his opinion. Gentlemen, let's start voting."

The first to express his opinion was Blackbeard, who had the same view as Hero Rorschach.

He stretched out his hand to stroke his signature dark beard, then his eyes sharpened, and his hoarse voice sounded:
"I agree with Rorschach's plan. The fortress can make Nassau safer. If we can get a few more large battleships and a bunch of guns, even if the king's army comes to kill us, we will still be able to fight!"

"I will give thirty thousand pesos to finance the construction of the fort!"

As soon as the words fell, James Kidd, who was holding his arms across his chest, took over and added:
"I agree too. I contribute ten thousand pesos."

Charles Wayne clenched the wine bottle in his hand, greeted Rorschach, and said in a deep voice:

"If this fort will keep Nassau away from the damned king and clergy, why not? I'll give you ten thousand pesos too."

After finishing speaking, he reached out his hand to gesture to Jack Rackham beside him, "The idiot next to me also offered [-] pesos."

Hearing this, Rackham, who was originally thinking about how to refuse the money, suddenly became anxious:

"Hey, hey! Charles, how do you make decisions for me?!"

The grumpy Wayne turned his head directly and gave Rackham a hard look, "I'm just helping you spend the money wasted on women in more meaningful places."

"If you don't plan to fund it, the next time I go to Boston to rob, don't think I will take you with me."

Hearing these threatening words, Rackham couldn't help shrinking his neck, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Okay then..."

The four people present had already expressed their opinions, and the rest were only Henigold and his two subordinates.

Although the future Hornigold will be disappointed by the development and future of Nassau, thus betraying the Pirate Alliance and accepting the king's pardon.

But, at least for now, he is still the optimistic idealist who founded the Pirate Republic.

As for Nassau, as a fruit tree he planted with his own hands, he didn't want anyone to touch it before it bears fruit!
Therefore, even though he felt uncomfortable with Rorschach's words that offended him.

However, on this matter concerning the future of Nassau, he did not affect his judgment, but made the most sensible decision:
"I also agree with Rorschach's plan. For Nassau, for our ideal country, I will offer [-] pesos,"

Hearing this, Luo Xia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that the leader of the Pirate Alliance is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between public and private...

Now that Henigold had spoken, the two captains who followed Henigold's lead also agreed, and each contributed [-] yuan.

The eight captains just collected 15 pesos as the initial investment in the fortress.

Although Rorschach was a little surprised that everyone passed his plan unanimously, he was not too surprised.

This proves that these pirates are not hopelessly stupid.

I am not afraid of enemies like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.

With such teammates who can still distinguish the importance, Luo Xia has a little more confidence in keeping Nassau...

After convincing everyone to agree to the plan, the next step is to implement the plan.

"Gentlemen, thank you very much for your trust and support."

"In order for this money to be used for the construction of the fort, I suggest that the Brotherhood of the Coast set up an audit department, recruit accountants and craftsmen, and calculate the materials and funds required for the construction of the fort. Then, every two months, we will Gather here to monitor the progress of the fortress..."

Listening to Rorschach's words, Charles Wayne, who felt very troublesome, immediately raised his hand to interrupt him:

"I don't have so much time to do these boring things! Since you proposed this plan, then you are in charge of it."

"It's nothing, I'll go first, I will send someone to give you the money tomorrow..."

After that, he picked up a bottle of rum, got up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Rackham also stood up, gave a noble salute to everyone, and blinked: "I'm leaving too, the lush forest is still waiting for me to pick it..."

As the two left, the other captains also said that since you, Rorschach, proposed this matter, it should be done by you.

The attitude of the crowd was also within Rorschach's expectations.

These people are pirates, not farmers.

It's good enough for them to sit down and talk about things calmly.

Still want them to farm and do construction?

impossible!
. . .

After logically becoming the person in charge of the fortress construction project, Rorschach began preparations for the construction of the fortress.

He first bought a property in Nassau Township as an office.

Then, it began to publicize that the Pirate Alliance will build a fortress in Nassau, and shouted the slogan "Build a fortress that only belongs to pirates together".

This move, like a huge stone thrown into a calm lake, immediately caused ripples in Nassau and even the entire Bahamas Islands.

Many pirates were attracted by the provocative slogans and offered funding to the office one after another.

In their view, Nassau is their home, a free country that belongs only to them.

In order to protect one's own home, these sacrifices are also justified.

Although the funding from the pirates is just a drop in the bucket.

However, for Rorschach, the support of the pirates is a very important part of his plan to control Nassau in the future.

Because these people represent the hearts of the people.

What the people want is what everyone expects!
