The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

After the meeting, everyone returned. It can be predicted that the revolutionary army will usher in a major expansion in the next period of time.

Meanwhile in Dashi Village, the framework of the Fourth Army of the Red Flag Army began to be formed. It was expanded from the revolutionary army that had previously investigated the grain robbery case, and its total strength was expanded to 6,000 people.

Including the newly joined villagers, hundreds of Daomei's people, and even hundreds of surrendered soldiers also took the initiative to join the revolutionary army in the base.

After the Red Flag Army is formed, it will be led by Daomei and other people who have served in the navy and have training experience to conduct military training. In addition to the navy's training methods, the unique martial arts from the orphanage are also added to the daily training subjects.

In addition to military training, the Red Flag Army would also take some time to help the people with construction, in order to implement the policy set by the Front Committee to serve the people.

At this time, Marx and Engels were arranging and coordinating the expansion of the revolutionary base on the entire Roland Island.

Ma En sighed. According to the news from Li in the city and the various testimonies from the surrendered soldiers, the war between the Kingdom of North and the Kingdom of Deya was about to escalate again.

According to the initial investigation, the most powerful country on Roland Island was the Kingdom of Deya, followed by several small and medium-sized countries. But later, the small Kingdom of Norse suddenly rose and annexed many countries. It even formed a rivalry with the Kingdom of Deya.

Ma En asked several soldiers who had defected and learned that the policy of the Kingdom of Norse was almost biased towards militarism. Moreover, when their fathers were still in their generation, they were not citizens of the Kingdom of Norse.

In Marne's view, the rise of the Kingdom of North was largely due to the military system, but it was also certainly supported by external forces. The driving force behind it was most likely the Eight Treasures Navy or even the World Government.

As a traditional powerful force in the West Sea, almost all weapons around the Flower Kingdom are sold by the Flower Kingdom's Eight Treasures Navy. It seems that the years of war on Roland Island must have been instigated by external forces.

Therefore, the current national situation of the Kingdom of Norse, when Marne led his men to recover the grain, was already deeply mired in the quagmire of war, with wars occurring almost every year.

Now even if the Kingdom of Norse wanted to stop, it couldn't. According to Daomei, the current Kingdom of Norse was like a 10,000-ton ship without an anchor. Unless it sank completely or reached the shore, no one could stop it.

According to the information sent by Li, the situation of the Kingdom of Deya is not much better now. Before the rise of the Kingdom of North, the Kingdom of Deya could be said to be the only overlord of Roland Island, so its foundation was by no means comparable to that of the Kingdom of North.

It even had a certain share in Roland Port, the only major port on Roland Island. As a result, after the rise of the Kingdom of North, the Kingdom of Deya was also forced to be involved in the war.

Later, due to the war, the relationship between the two sides became more and more tense, and now it is almost a situation of two powers competing for hegemony. But overall, the Kingdom of Deya has been losing money.

First, the valuable share of Roland Port was bought back by the Babao Navy at a fair price on the grounds that the Kingdom of Deya could not maintain order and peace around the port. Then, it was often at a disadvantage in the war with the Kingdom of North.

In fact, the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Deya did not want to intervene in the war at first, and they turned a blind eye and adopted a policy of appeasement in the face of the expansion of the Kingdom of Norse.

As a result, they were inexplicably involved in the war, and there seemed to be some external forces behind it. But now, the hatred between the two countries on the border has become irreconcilable because of the war.

The scale of the war gradually expanded due to the instigation of some high-level officials, as well as their desire to unify Roland Island and compete for the interests of Roland Port.

According to some data about Roland Island obtained by the Revolutionary Party in the Kingdom of Flowers, before the war escalated, the population of the entire Roland Island was approximately 120 million.

However, after the war escalated, some people were definitely consumed by the war, and some people left Roland Island. Now the total population of Roland Island may be around 100 million.

Among them, the land on the side of the Aya Mountains controlled by the Kingdom of Norse may have a population of only more than 30 due to years of war.

The Kingdom of Deya is better, there has been basically no war within the country, and the population may be more than 50. In addition to the two countries, there are tens of thousands of people living in Port Roland, and tens of thousands of refugees are also in Port Roland.

In the areas controlled by the kingdom inside Roland Island, people were barely surviving. In order to ensure their extravagant lifestyle, the nobles oppressed the lower-class people crazily.

As a result, the money-eating beast of war came into being, and the oppression became even heavier. The consequence was that the Sword Girl in the Kingdom of Norse launched an uprising.

The revolutionaries had only been here for two months, but they had developed extremely rapidly. Marx and Engels estimated that the population controlled by the base area was probably no less than 10.

If the revolutionary party can continue to develop on Roland Island in the direction guided by the meeting, in another two months, I am afraid that the entire Roland Island except for the city will fall into the control of the base.

It was based on the rapid expansion of the revolutionaries on Roland Island that Marx and Engels demanded that the revolutionary army undergo regular reorganization and training.

If the expansion continues in this way, it will definitely clash with the vested interests of the two countries, and then a war will be inevitable in order to protect the base.

And even if the ruling classes of the two countries still turn a blind eye to the revolutionaries at that time, the revolutionary army will take the initiative to attack them.

After all, by that time, the revolutionary party’s finances alone were no longer able to feed the large population of the base area. Only by overthrowing the exploiting class could the revolution continue to expand.

As for the information Li sent to the base in the city, after the Kingdom of Deya suffered another defeat on the battlefield, it decided to carry out another large-scale mobilization. It had already forcibly conscripted civilians in the cities, but there seemed to be no plans to conscript in the countryside.

It seems that the nobles think that the countryside has been squeezed dry in the last forced expropriation, and it is not worth investing manpower in the countryside. Therefore, the Kingdom of Deya can develop safely for the time being.

As for the Kingdom of North, there was no sign that it would send troops to retaliate against the base after the last incident.

It makes sense. The Kingdom of Norse was originally at war with the Kingdom of Deya with a population disadvantage. In order to maintain the front line, it even launched a national mobilization early on. The excessive exploitation even led to the uprising of the Knife Girls.

It is estimated that the encirclement and suppression force sent by the Kingdom of Norse to defeat the uprising army of Knife Girl was the last reinforcement.

Otherwise it is impossible to explain why the nobles have not sent out troops to retaliate given their vengeful nature, so the base of the Kingdom of Norse is temporarily safe.

Although it was temporarily safe, as Marx and Engels thought, revolution was not subject to human will. When the storm of revolution swept across the entire Roland Island, sooner or later the working people would settle accounts with the ruling class.

After thinking about it, Ma En believed that a broader militia and self-defense force organizational structure must be combined as soon as possible, so Ma En found a "Militia Military Training Manual" from his memory.

After Ma En revised the book to reflect One Piece's unique worldview, Ma En had the book copied and sent to Li Heqie separately so that the militia organizations in the new and old revolutionary bases could be trained in advance.

The Red Flag Army is like fish, and the militia in the revolutionary base is like water. Ma En thinks it is time to bring a little shock of the "vast ocean of people's war" to the pirate world.
