Pirates: After being exiled by the Warring States Period, I started building a city

Chapter 35 Treasure Map

"Are you short of money?"

Tina's question made Luo Lan feel a little weird.

Yes, I am short of money. Can you support me?

Of course, he couldn't really say that...

"There's nothing I can do. I have to support hundreds of people. The monthly salary alone costs several million Baileys, and other daily expenses are also not small."

"Hmm...it seems so!"

Tina nodded, because what Luo Lan said was correct.

After thinking for a while, he took out a parchment scroll.

"This is a treasure map that Tina obtained some time ago. The location is in the East China Sea, but we can't guarantee its authenticity!"

"If you are interested, you can try it!"

He pushed the sheepskin treasure map in front of Luo Lan.

Tina returned to her original sitting position and continued to "listen".

Luo Lan picked up the treasure map, opened it and took a look.

"Thank you, Sister Tina!"

------

At the end of the meeting, Ian gave his report.

He is currently responsible for a lot of work, whether it is the Marines in the combat sequence, logistics sequence, or the new recruits, he is in charge of them all.

In addition, Ian is also in charge of the Intelligence Department, the largest department of Branch 157.

He took too much pressure off Luo Lan.

So much so that when Ian was only halfway through his work report, Tina glared at Luo Lan fiercely.

This meaning requires no translation at all.

That is...

Even if you are a tool, you won’t use it like this!

After all, I have been your follower for several years...

As long as Ian doesn't die, then use him to death, right?

But at the same time, Tina was also shocked.

All the marines of the 157th Branch, including the new recruits, number almost 300.

The most exaggerated is the Intelligence Department, which has more than 100 agents and tens of thousands of non-staff personnel. The entire network almost covers the entire East China Sea.

Even all the major pirate groups have people from the Intelligence Department.

Is this something a branch can have?

Tina was forced to sit in on a meeting and was completely numbed by it.

However, what really stunned him was what happened next.

"Colonel, just a few minutes before the meeting started, the intelligence department just received the latest intelligence about Colonel Smoker!"

"Tell me, how much rank did he lose this time?"

Luo Lan was stunned for a moment, then asked directly.

He was stunned because this happened earlier than he expected. After all, he had told Tina before that if Smoker continued to be in charge of the investigation, he would be punished sooner or later.

Maybe...

He will also be sent to Branch 16 to accompany me.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Uh, Colonel, you already know that?"

"I guessed it, you continue to report!"

"Yes, according to the intelligence we received, the Navy Headquarters has ordered that the investigation of the East China Sea will be handed over to Vice Admiral Val. Colonel Smoker must immediately stop all investigations until Vice Admiral Val arrives."

"In the end, this guy disobeyed orders?"

"Yes, so Marshal Sengoku issued an order to strip Colonel Smoker of all his duties, and his rank was reduced to private. At the same time... he was transferred to Branch 157."

As he said this, Ian's expression was a little strange.

It is really...

Isn’t the Marshal of the Warring States Period sending us talents?

This means that there are now two natural science majors in branch 157. Yes...

Of the five natural science departments in the Navy, almost half are here.

"Smoker was... fired?"

"Furthermore, Marshal Zhan Guo actually let Lieutenant General Val take full charge of the investigation?"

"If you check yourself, what can you find out?"

"Tina is confused!"

Who had the biggest reaction after this news was announced?

That's definitely Tina.

Of course, she had anticipated what would happen to Smoker. After all, Luo Lan had said so before. Although she was a little surprised, that was all.

Let Val be in charge of the investigation...

Tina was really disgusted!

"Sister Tina, now you should understand why I did those things, right?"

"This order was obviously issued by the Five Elders. The purpose... is nothing more than to protect Val!"

"As for the Warring States Marshal..."

"He dare not disobey the Five Elders!"

"Absolute justice?"

"No, that is actually absolute obedience!"

"To obey me is justice, to oppose me... is to be a pirate, is evil!"

"Navy justice? That's always been a joke!"

------

Navy justice is a joke?

The Marshal's latest order and what Luo Lan said.

It had a huge impact on Tina.

So much so that on the way back, I felt a little dazed.

Luo Lan was in his office, looking at the treasure map he got from Tina.

"Caro Island... is it within the East China Sea Prosperity Zone?"

"Ian, do you know the situation of this island?"

Putting down the treasure map, Luo Lan looked at his adjutant.

"Colonel, this is a small island located on the north side of the Medae Islands. Even the navy doesn't dare to approach it casually."

"How to say?"

Luo Lan was surprised.

Even the navy doesn’t dare to approach it casually. Is there anything special about this island?

"Because this island is the base of Click, and there are hundreds of artillery installed on it, so..."

Well, I was overthinking it.

After listening to Ian's explanation, Luo Lan finally understood.

After all, except for Rogge Town, the branches in the East China Sea basically only have 1-2 small warships.

And there are not many truly capable and strong people.

Facing an island like a hedgehog with hundreds of artillery pieces deployed...

One or two warships really can't do anything.

Could it be...

It was because of the discovery of this treasure that Click was able to assemble 50 large warships in just two years?

If this is true, then this treasure is really not simple...

At least, it’s billions of Baileys!!!

"Ian, select 100 fully armed marines and set off on board tomorrow morning. Our target is Carlo Island!"

"Yes, Colonel, but... our two submarines cannot..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luo Lan.

"This time we are going to board a new type of submarine!"

"If I didn't have to leave some people behind to guard the house and free up some positions for additional personnel, I would even want to let all the marines go and practice!"

A new type of submarine, and a large one at that.

hiss...

When did the colonel get it and how did he get it?

Well, these are not things I should worry about.

"Yes, Colonel, I'll do it right away!"

------

The next morning.

Luo Lan and Ian, along with a hundred marines, appeared at the old port.

Although the dock had been damaged by Tina's warship, it didn't matter.

Because, I didn't originally plan to let Tana come over.

"Sister Tina, why did you follow me?"

"You want Tina not to follow? Fine then, return the treasure map to Tina!"
