This Navy is Rude

Seeing that Hancock had subdued, Hai Lan stopped chasing her fiercely. After all, Hancock was already the Qiwuhai appointed by the Five Elder Stars, so she pardoned her past crimes. Now it's not a big deal to catch a girl and bully her.

"Hello, Mr. Hailan."

After quelling this wave of rebel riots, CP0 took the initiative to walk up to Hai Lan to express their goodwill.

Hai Lan just educated that difficult woman and gave them a bad breath, and their attitude towards Hai Lan naturally improved a lot.

"CP...?"

"0."

CP0 reported the number of the unit, "It is not convenient to take off the mask due to work reasons, I hope Mr. Hailan understands."

"I know."

Hai Lan nodded and shook hands with the leader of CP0.

He glanced at the chaotic battlefield, puzzled: "What are you doing here?"

CP0 looked at each other in embarrassment. The government did not intend to let the navy know what the government was doing here.

But now that he was bumped into by the high-level navy, he had to talk about it.

"The former king Norton VI of this country passed away suddenly, and a rebellion broke out in the country. The government accepted the new king Norton VII's request for help, so we sent us to assist the new king to suppress the rebellion."

"I see."

It deserves so much attention from the world government, which has more than 100 countries to join, presumably this country should have other things that the government cares about besides being able to pay off enough money from the sky.

According to Hawkeye's understanding of this country, presumably this country should mainly export weapons.

Of course, he would not say anything about these CP0s, and Hai Lan didn't ask too much. He thought that his guess should be close to ten.

The key problem of this operation is not here, but that the Navy headquarters knows nothing about it!

Obviously, the government is deliberately avoiding the navy.

This isn't the first time, and it won't be the last.

Regarding these, it is no secret at the top of the navy.

The world government and the navy have long been out of one mind.

The navy is quite critical of the government, and the government is also guarding against the navy. The establishment of the Shichibukai system under the king is proof that the estrangement between the two sides has intensified.

There are three main reasons why the government can control the navy.

One is the financial support of world governments for naval military expenditures.

Chapter 461

The annual military expenditure of the navy is an astronomical figure.

The cost of an ordinary type of naval warship alone is almost [-] million Baileys (under normal circumstances, the quality of warships is higher than that of pirate ships), and there are medium-sized warships and large warships above the ordinary type.

The price of small warships under ordinary models cannot be calculated uniformly due to the large variety of specifications, but in terms of quantity, it is also a considerable expense.

In addition to warships, there are also weapons, food, medical treatment, equipment, salaries, etc., and so on. The cost of several major naval bases on the Great Route alone can exceed [-] billion Baileys. Without the support of the world government , The navy officers and men can only go to drink the northwest wind.

Even though Hai Lan and Vegapunk are chatting very happily, all the funding of the Naval Research Department comes from the World Government, which is actually the government's Research Department.

The name "Department of Naval Research" is only a symbol in name.

The world government firmly holds the navy's economic door. Once the relationship between the navy and the world government breaks down, I'm afraid they will only be able to make a living by fishing in the future.

If Hai Lan wants the navy to become independent from the world government, the first thing to solve is the navy's financial crisis.

One of the solutions is to develop the farming industry, and finally realize a virtuous circle of the economy.

However, what farming pays attention to is "building high walls, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly". The great cause of farming needs to grow from small to large, and cannot be achieved overnight.

The world government has been established for nearly 800 years, and the navy has long become the overlord of the sea.

Want to farm under Wulaoxing's nose?

Not at all realistic.

Are the world governments all fools?

Therefore, since a virtuous circle of the economy cannot be achieved, in order to solve the navy's financial crisis, it is necessary to find another way, a way to get rich overnight.

Fortunately, Hai Lan had already found this windfall many years ago—Empty Island, the land of gold!

Hai Lan, who found Sky Island back then, was so excited that he almost announced the existence of Sky Island to the world, but fortunately, he calmed down soon.

Once Wulaoxing knew about the existence of the Golden Town, what would happen?

Those five old guys have to find a way to transport the gold from the Golden Country to the holy land of Marie Joyri after all their lives.

Even if there is no Golden Town, the five old stars will not let go of the strategic value of Sky Island alone.

Will the Tianlong people who call themselves "descendants of God" relocate the holy land to the empty island?

It's possible, but unlikely.

But no matter what, Wu Laoxing will definitely establish a military base under their jurisdiction on Sky Island.

The scientific research route of this world is crooked, but after the discovery of Sky Island, who can guarantee that Vegapunk will not invent a series of "flying instruments" under the force of Wulaoxing?
