Kobe, take the basketball fruit to the Pirates

Chapter 73 The Arrival of the Navy
Now Beko, after venting his anger, slowly regained his composure.

"Forget it, what do you care about with a little girl like her?"

Pico sat on the ground and comforted himself. In fact, he also reflected on his behavior during this period, and indeed he did not take Annabelle's feelings into consideration.

After all, from the point of view of people across the country, he was determined to become Annabella's husband.

"I'll go to her and explain it to her later, it's okay for us elders to admit our mistakes." Pico said to himself, and got up to go to Annabella.

But things were not as simple as he thought. When he returned to the palace, he got a piece of news.That is, the plan to build a sea-going ship for him was shelved on the grounds that the treasury was empty.

As a result, it was conceivable that the two had another quarrel in the palace.So much so that it was difficult for Pico to see Annabelle.

The two fell into a continuous cold war, during which Peko quietly questioned the newly appointed finance minister.The national treasury was indeed empty, and the money used to build the ship for Peko was left over from the royal palace's food, housing and transportation.

On the contrary, this made Pike feel a little guilty.So he never went to find Annabelle again.

Until the tenth day.

This day ushered in the first snow in 1443 in the lunar calendar.The heavy snow is not as white as imagined, but gray.

Pi Ke, who was practicing in the training ground, suddenly received a summons from the palace.I thought Annabella had figured it out.

But only after asking.It turned out that an army had come from the sea, so Peko was called to play.

Pico was reluctant at first, but when he heard the messenger's description of the army.The flag with the blue seabird painted on it, and the string of English 'MARINE'.

Immediately, Pike thought of the ship in his dream, so he rushed to the palace.

This was one of the few clues about Anna, even though it was in a dream.But Pike had no other choice.Can only rely on the reality of dreams.

And now that this exact same army has appeared, it shows that his dream is not completely false.

When he walked into the palace hall, he noticed that standing in the center was a young man wearing a 'justice' cloak, who looked about 27 or [-] years old.

This person is Lieutenant Colonel Toha who came from Arandod Island.

The moment Pico appeared, Toha immediately fixed his eyes on him.He looked relaxed at first, but immediately became alert.

'hope everything is fine! '

Toha's eyes kept looking at Beko, and he felt a powerful energy in Beko's body.

The eyes of the two looked at each other in the air, not giving way to each other.Pico also felt Toha's strength, which was stronger than he had ever seen before.

"Hello, I'm Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, U Toha." Toha first smiled, and stretched out his right hand towards Pico.

The so-called reaching out and not hitting people with smiling faces, let alone whether it is an enemy or a friend is still unknown.Maybe now he can rely on this person in front of him to go to sea.

"Hi, my name is Brian Peko"

Pico held Toha's extended right hand as a gesture of friendship, "You can call me Pico."

After waiting for Peko's response, Toha breathed a sigh of relief.What he is most afraid of is the kind of people who don't know etiquette and are arrogant and conceited.When meeting such a person, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.

And at this time, Annabella suddenly spoke.

"Lieutenant Colonel Toha, our country's national defense general has also arrived, you can now explain your purpose."

Her voice was very peaceful, but there was also an indifferent majesty.

Hearing what he said, Pico looked around for a while, and then realized that Annabella was referring to him as the "General Protector of the Nation".How could I have such a name.
"Okay Queen"

Toha's voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and he turned his eyes from Piko to Annabella, this extremely beautiful woman.

He is also well-informed, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can be called a king as a woman.He sincerely hopes that this beautiful thing can continue forever.

Afterwards, he stated his intention for coming. Although the speech was long, it was summed up in a few words. He hoped that the Black Country would join the World Government and become a member of the World Government.

As a member of the world government, it will be protected by the navy.However, a fee needs to be paid to the Navy branch every year as military expenses.

After Toha finished speaking, there was a mess of discussions in the hall.Although they have heard of the existence of the World Government, but because of the remoteness of Heigu Island, they don't know the details of the World Government.I don't even know some ways of this kind of United Nations.

At the critical moment, Pico stood up and asked, "I don't know how to pay for this military expenditure? With the protection of the navy, does our country still have independent military strength? Will the navy intervene in addition to providing protection?" State manages things".

After Beko asked a series of questions, the scene became quiet in an instant.His question is very straightforward, but it always hits the pulse door.

Many people looked at Pike in surprise, as if they had never seen him before.Everyone knows that Bi Ke is very powerful, but they never thought that Bi Ke has such insight.

Especially some old ministers in the main hall nodded frequently to Pi Ke.Because even they cannot grasp the core of the problem in such a short period of time.

Annabelle looked at Pico's beautiful eyes, and the expression in them changed again and again.I can't see what's on my mind.

Toha turned his head to look at Pike, and looked at the boy in front of him seriously again.Ever since Annabella introduced Pico as the Great General to Protect the Country, he was actually shocked in his heart.

But now hearing Pike's opinion, the shock immediately raised to another level.However, he had already thought about the question that Pike asked long before that.

"Military expenses are paid by all countries within the radiation range of the naval branch base. According to the size and wealth of the country, the navy will make corresponding proportions."

Hearing this answer, Pike nodded involuntarily.Immediately afterwards, Toha continued to answer the next question.

"The Navy only provides protection for neighboring countries, and will not interfere in other countries' internal affairs in any form."

Toha paused while speaking, and continued to add: "However, if there are hostile forces in the world government, any ally that joins the world government should spare no effort to help the world government."

Hearing the other party's words, Pike couldn't help but nodded.But he naturally wouldn't think that what Toha said was the truth.If it is really so good, then other countries will not rush to join.It takes Toha to lobby one by one.

Especially what Toha said, that he will not interfere in any form of state management, this statement has no credibility at all.Whether it can be done depends entirely on the character of the commander stationed at the naval base.

But for now, for Beko, this might not be a bad thing.With the protection provided by the Navy in the Black Country, Annabella has no reason to prevent her from leaving.

Most importantly, Beko is definitely going to leave here, it's just a matter of sooner or later.If there is naval protection, it can be regarded as an extra layer of insurance.

So as long as I come back occasionally, with my own strength, it will definitely be able to deter the navy to a certain extent, so that they dare not mess with the dark country.

In this way, it will not hinder oneself from leaving here, and it can also protect the dark country well.Pico was really moved.
