The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue
Chapter 662: 5 great gifts
Popular recommendation:
"You mean, with this money, more than 600 identical devices can be built?"
Two days later, in the lobby of a castle in Pangu City, the Five Old Stars, Sora, Lu Qi, Sakaski, and the Warring States were discussing something, and the blond old star was holding the report in his hand.
Warring States nodded and said: "According to the cost given by Dr. Bergapunk and the actual cost of the factory, we have compared the new military project funds to build more than 600 pacifists."
Naosu old star frowned and asked, "This pacifist old man also knows, and he has some understanding of the cost. Now the pacifist version 2.0 you are talking about, the cost difference is not big, it can really improve so much. performance?"
If it was the pacifist version from two years ago, let alone only 600 units, even if 1,200 units could be built, the Five Old Stars would not consider it.
But the pacifists described in the report submitted by the Warring States are really... too powerful, with upgraded impact-resistant paint, iterative energy technology, and increasingly proficient use of light cannons, as well as those that can interact with each other Matching smart programs.
According to the formation arrangement of the Warring States Period and the setting of the attack command, at least six pacifists are needed to play a detachment led by a lieutenant general, plus the firepower of the warships.
If it is just a competition for the number of firepower, then one pacifist, at most two pacifists, can catch up with a lieutenant general's warship, which is nothing to brag about, after all, the cost is there.
But the power of the navy is not only reflected in warships, or... warships have never been the main force of the navy, but only an auxiliary.
What is stronger is the mutual cooperation of the detachment, the command of the officer, and the display of cutting-edge combat power. Even if the warships are superior in performance, such as the Spades Detachment and the Zhanye Detachment, what they are praised is not the warship itself, but the detachment.
Therefore, the number of firepower alone is meaningless, but in the report submitted by the Warring States period, with the pacifist collocation, it is not only the quantity of firepower, but also the quality and efficiency.
The pacifists of the previous generation, although they can be said to be very good weapons, are far from the epoch-making works that Dr. Vega Punk spoke confidently.
The pacifist's defensive performance, endurance, and the ability to coordinate combat between pacifists and pacifists all made the Five Old Stars suspicious of Dr. Bergapunk's project.
Therefore, after Dr. Bergapunk said that he had created a real pacifist this year, the Five Old Stars did not pay attention, but this also gave them a "surprise" at this time.
If it is as reported in the Warring States Period, then this pacifist can really be regarded as an epoch-making work, especially... The machine will not betray its master.
Such projects have the value of continuing to invest. After all, the military project funds, even if they are not used for CP, navy or immediate pacifists, can only be stored.
With the current situation of the world government and the increasingly rampant revolutionary army, in the next time, the number of allied countries will become less and less. Saving a sum of money in advance may be able to help the world government survive the next few years. of difficult times.
But if all the money is invested in the production of pacifists, more than 600 pacifist units, plus the Warring States report, more than 200 units of pacifist units have been produced...
Even if he had 900 units, according to the formation arrangement of 6 units given by the Warring States Period, that would be 150 units, which was equivalent to the combat power that 150 Lieutenant General's Detachment could provide.
Can a detachment of 150 lieutenant generals solve the revolutionary army? can! However, the navy does not have 150 lieutenant admiral detachments, and most of the naval forces need to be placed on suppressing pirates. Therefore, even in a previously harmonious environment, the world government did not dispatch the navy to deal with the revolutionary army. .
Needless to say now, the Navy can't get it, and the Five Old Stars don't dare to use it.
But the pacifists are different. This is a new force. While the navy maintains the order of the sea and the CP continues to target the revolutionary army, there is an extra force capable of destroying the revolutionary army.
More than 600 pacifist units, once the production is completed, with the more than 200 existing units, I am afraid that the revolutionary army can really be wiped out in a very short time.
Of course, even if all pacifists are ready to go, the Five Old Stars won't do it.
After all, if the revolutionary army is completely killed, there will be no excuse to continue to collect funds for this military project in the future, but... pacifists still have to build.
Not only to deal with the revolutionary army, but also... the navy that has shown its antipathy, plus the CP that has lost one after another, these two institutions, in the future, will gradually become useless assets of the world government.
Yesterday, when CP took advantage of the opportunity to take almost one-third of the gold reserves of the world government at the World Conference, the Five Old Stars made up their minds to liquidate CP.
It just so happens that there are nearly a thousand pacifists.
After solving this big trouble of the revolutionary army, pacifists can also replace the navy and CP, and pacifists do not need to be cultivated, only need to be created.
Like the navy and the CP, in different eras, there are always ups and downs. The reason is that the uncertainty of talent training is too high. If it is replaced by stable pacifists, it will be different.
The Warring States did not seem to have thought of the impact that the pacifists would bring to the Navy, but instead reported: "Yes, this is the report that the old man concluded after many tests.
And according to Dr. Vegapunk, in the future, with firmware upgrades, driver optimization, and data collection and analysis, the role that pacifists can play will only become stronger and stronger.
Even only five, or even four pacifists, can play the role that six pacifists can play today.
In addition, the defense painting and energy plan will also be upgraded in the future. After many iterations, the pacifist may be able to play the role of a naval admiral. "
Wu Laoxing is more satisfied the more he listens, although the expression on his face has not changed, he is still so old-fashioned and calm, but his heart is full of smiles.
Baojian Lao Xing tightened the long sword in his hand and observed it. At this time, Sakaski and Lu Qi's faces were not good-looking, especially Sakaski, the corners of his mouth were pulled to his lower jaw.
Baojian Lao Xing shifted his gaze to Kong, and found that Kong was also frowning and closed his eyes, seemingly a little regretful and distressed. Seeing this, Baojian Lao Xing deliberately asked Kong:
"Kong, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how do you spend this military expenditure? Your opinion is very important to the world government. Tell me your opinion."
Sora, who was named, reluctantly opened his eyes, looked at Lu Qi and Sakaski with hatred, and then said angrily: "Since the money is given to whom, the other party has an opinion, then don't do it. gave.
According to the old man, the idea of the Warring States period is not bad. Put Bailey into the production of pacifists, and the pacifists, the navy and the CP have the right to be seconded, and it can be regarded as sharing this expense. "
Sora said and sighed. From Wu Laoxing's point of view, Kong was obviously not satisfied with the result, which was expected by Wu Laoxing, so he did not ask any further questions.
The curly-haired old star pondered for a moment, and then asked: "This Doctor Vega Punk, although he is a technological genius that surpassed the current era for 500 years, can complete such a large upgrade in such a short period of time... Warring States period, you. Do you know why?"
The curly-haired old star asked the question, and the other four five old stars also nodded. After all, since Vega Punk cooperated with the world government, they have been squeezing toothpaste in units of five years.
For designed products, updates are carried out every five years, and the progress of each update is not too great, at least not as leap-forward as pacifists.
Not only the Five Old Stars, but even Sakaski and Sora gave Sengoku a suspicious look.
After getting the information, Sora has been busy with the plan that Lu Qi told him to save the CP and the Navy together. All his energy was devoted to the rehearsal of today's acting, and he didn't have time to ask.
And Sakaski really doesn't understand the pacifist project, but...he thinks the same as the Five Old Stars.
After serving as the Admiral of the Navy, Sakaski asked Kizaru to ask Vega Punk if he could upgrade the Navy's weapons and equipment in all aspects, but... Vega Punk, who is keen on squeezing toothpaste, was unwilling to do so. Pull out something new.
But this time, he took out the pacifist so decisively, which made Sakaski a little... jealous.
He spent several years running inside and out for a warship back then, borrowing countless connections, and then reluctantly asked Vega Punk to configure him with new equipment.
In the past, Sakaski was able to comfort himself with the advancement of technology that could not be facilitated in one day, but the speed of pacifist upgrading and the speed of investment made Sakaski clearly understand that Dr. Bergapunk was back then. ... just unwilling to give him the best!
In the face of everyone's puzzled wooden pipes, Warring States sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Master Wu Lao Xing, do you still remember... Bartholomeo Xiong in the Qiwuhai under the king?"
The blond old star nodded and said: "The former king of Sobel Kingdom, the prototype of pacifists."
"If there is no accident, after the World Conference, Fujitora's proposal will be implemented, and the bear will be rewarded, right?"
Warring States continued to ask, but the old man holding the sword frowned and asked, "Yes, but what does this have to do with pacifists?"
Warring States nodded and said: "The old man said it just now, if there is no accident... Now it is the bear who has an accident."
"..."
No one will show their face for the black humor of the Warring States period, and even the five old stars have black lines on their faces. Does this boy in the Warring States period think he is very humorous?
At this time, the Warring States also realized that what he said was wrong. In other words, two years ago, he would never say such a thing. It's all Karp's fault. He has recently led him badly!
"Cough cough!" After two light coughs, the Warring States said: "After the World Conference, there is no need to offer a bounty to the bear, because he has already died in the transformation.
According to Vegapunk, his body and brain were also contributed to the development of pacifists, and it was because of this that pacifists made great progress.
Of course, I am not a scientist and I don't know what it is, but I feel that after the abolition of the Qiwuhai system under the king, not offering a reward to the bear is a respect for him and a reward for his contribution. "
‘You also know what respect is? ’
The five old stars murmured in their hearts, but several people were silent, as if thinking about this, and finally the blind old star nodded and said, "Then there is no reward."
The other four nodded and expressed their approval. In fact, there is no reward for the bear. For the World Government, there is no loss at all, and it can even reduce some workload.
You can also talk to the current king of Sobel, who is also the younger brother of Xiong, to show a wave of the humanistic care of the world government, and then, one day in the future, turn it over and promote a wave of the human nature of the world government. Chemical control.
Expenses have been reduced, fame has been gained, and perhaps a member country has become a staunch supporter of the world government, so why not do it?
Naosu Laoxing also brushed his long beard and said: "Since everyone has no opinion, then the military special funds led by Alabasta, Dressrosa and the Dragon Palace Kingdom will be used for pacifists. Produce."
Hearing Naosu Laoxing's words, the other four Five Laoxing and Sengoku nodded, Lu Qi and Sora remained silent, and Sakaski directly pouted.
What do you mean everyone has no opinion? Has the Five Old Stars asked his opinion?
It's just that this matter has been discussed in advance, and Sakaski will not jump out to object at this time, plus... it is useful if it is not opposed.
Seeing that Sakaski was reluctant, Naosu squinted his eyes. Although he was reluctant, he did not object. If it were normal times, Sakaski would definitely object.
But today's silence... is another major evidence of the Navy's retaliation.
The curly-haired star looked at Lu Qi at this time and said, "Since the problem of this special fund has been solved, let's review yesterday's meeting, Lu Qi, what do you want to say?"
Hearing this, Lu Qi saluted, then lowered his body and said, "Yesterday's accident was not due to your wishes, but you know, sir, you are still in charge of CP0 time..."
"If there is a problem, there is a problem! Don't look for reasons as soon as there is a problem, Lu Qi, this is not the first time you have made a mistake, right?"
Baojian Lao Xing interrupted Lu Qi's words directly, and his face also showed dissatisfaction at the right time. This Rob Lu Qi is really ashamed of their trust.
A few days ago, Lu Qi made such a big mistake. The five of them were kind-hearted and thought about giving Lu Qi another chance. As long as he didn't make a mistake, let him continue to work in the position of the CP0 chief.
But it's only been a few days, and such a big thing has happened?
Morant's speech yesterday asked the fifty countries participating in the World Conference to wait for the World Government to pay for the purchase of arms, and then allocate them to the war against the Revolutionary Army.
Is this something that can be freely promised? !
What was the original purpose of the ammunition? ! It was intended to be resold to an allied country, but now it has become a free delivery. The world government has to help supervise this matter. How much human and financial resources have been lost inside and outside?
Lu Qi lowered his head and didn't answer. There was no fluctuation in his heart. After all... he wasn't someone who really liked to shirk his responsibilities, he was just a person who stood on the side of the Five Old Stars.
Doing so will make him lose the position of the CP0 officer sooner or later, but Lu Qi is not worried. After all, since the day he played for Skyler, he knew that the CP0 officer was just one of the countless seats he had done in his life.
While showing one's ability and strength, one's own shortcomings and shortcomings are exposed at the same time, and a certain distance is always maintained from the core of the world government, so it is easy to escape.
Originally, Lu Qi was able to grasp this degree very well, but Skyler's recent incident and the upcoming two events made Lu Qi understand that he would not stay in the position of CP0 chief for too long.
Therefore, it is very important to start alienating the inner circle of world government at this time.
After all, he has already been a traitor once. If he is still deeply involved in his undercover identity at this time, Skyler may mistake him for another betrayal.
As long as you can master the resources that are beneficial to Skyler, it is enough, there is no need to get close, let Skyler understand that Lu Qi is a loyal and good person, not a wall.
This is the way of survival for people who have defected. Skyler may not doubt him, but Lu Qi will never give Skyler any chance to doubt him.
For the Five Old Stars, his role as the CP0 commander is not perfect, but for Skyler, he is a perfect undercover, and that's enough.
Sora, who was standing beside him, looked at Lu Qi's drooping eyelids and didn't care, he also shook his head and said, "Actually, the reckless actions of Morant and others yesterday are not completely bad."
The moment Kong spoke, Wu Laoxing's dissatisfaction was directly transferred to him, and Kong was not afraid. After all, this was his purpose. Facing Wu Laoxing's dissatisfaction and a hint of doubt in his eyes, Kong opened his mouth and explained. :
"Without the foreshadowing of Morant and others, then the representative countries headed by Alabasta, Dressrosa and the Dragon Palace Kingdom would not be so convinced of our world government's determination to help the allied countries.
With the lead of the world government buying arms to help them fight against the revolutionary army, the subsequent fire of additional investment can only flourish!
Also, didn't the Dragon Palace Kingdom forget to investigate the Chaerros Saint incident just because of these two incidents yesterday?
Of course, Lu Qi's improper management is an unavoidable responsibility, but for young people, there is still room for improvement. Punishment is definitely necessary, but opportunities are definitely given.
A few adults, what do you think? "
"Heh! There is no necessary connection between the two, as you said, the reason why the Dragon Palace Kingdom did not pursue it, is it because I waited for the pre-placing work to do a good job?
Besides, haven't we given Lu Qi a chance? The Charles Rose incident could have been avoided, if it wasn't for Lu Qi's bad performance, he wouldn't need to make up for it now! "
Baojian Laoxing said dissatisfiedly, but Kong showed a smile. He has worked with Wu Laoxing for many years, and he knew that Wu Laoxing listened to his words.
Although the words are a bit heavier now, it is also implying that the opportunity is not impossible to give, so Sora nodded and said: "What you said is that Lu Qi made a mistake not once or twice, it should not be.
His strength is enough, but his ability and experience need to be polished for a while. In this way, the highest command of CP will not be given to this kid for the time being. "
"Then you will command."
The blond old star pointed to Kong and said, Kong's face collapsed, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "How can this old man be? The old man was overwhelmed by his previous name, but it is you who are highly respected and have good experience in operations planning and scheduling. richer.
Or are you a few more involved, manage the CP for this kid for a while, wait until he corrects and improves, and then delegate this authority to him, how about it? "
Hearing Sora say that, Wu Laoxing, who was originally angry, also softened his face at this time.
The Five Old Stars are the symbol of the highest power of the world government. They also have management authority over the CP, but they do not have the highest command authority of the CP. When necessary, CP members can refuse to execute the orders of the Five Old Stars.
After all, CP is an organization directly under the Tianlong people. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the world government, if it hurts the interests of the Tianlong people, the CP's first choice is to protect the interests of the Tianlong people.
Taking back this supreme command, the five old stars also thought about it before, and even after the Charles Rose incident, they also hinted that Lu Qi passed by, but Lu Qi still refused to defend at that time, emphasizing the fact that he was directly under the Tianlong people.
At that time, that was Lu Qi's best answer, enough to dispel part of the anger of the Five Old Stars, and to reserve a final retreat for himself.
It's just... This way of retreat, today is the last step, Sora directly let Lu Qi take a step back, and after giving up this authority, Lu Qi will have no bargaining chip to impress the Five Old Stars in the future.
At this time, Lu Qi also simply saluted and said, "I also feel that I don't have enough ability to control CP0 well, and it is a fact that mistakes are made. I implore a few adults to take care of CP and put things right!"
Naosu Laoxing Fushu said, "Then you decide the punishment yourself!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi wrapped his arms around his arms, and took off a pair of Hailou stone shackles from his waist. He took off the two horizontal nails of the shackles. He pinned the Hailou stone horizontally into his palm.
"winter!"
In an instant, Lu Qi's body softened and he knelt directly on the ground, but he gritted his teeth, and put his **** hands on the ground, exposed the wound, and said in a trembling voice:
"Wait until a few adults feel that the crime is over, and then take down this sea floor stone."
Lu Qi is a capable person. After the past two years of practice, he is a capable person comparable to a naval admiral. At this time, he pierced his body with a sea tower stone. It can be said that... he completely gave up self-protection.
After plunging into the sea floor stone, Lu Qi's strength may not be as good as any CP0, and even if the sea floor stone is removed, Lu Qi will not be able to recover much combat power in a short period of time.
It can be said that he completely gave his life and death to the Five Old Stars.
This scene made Wu Laoxing stunned, Baojian Laoxing even supported his glasses, and after confirming that Lu Qi pierced his palm was indeed Hailoushi, not a fake, he also took a deep breath .
Then he looked at the few colleagues around him. They were all a little surprised at this time, but when they met, they all nodded. The only blind old star who did not participate in eye contact also said:
"Okay, it's just that this isn't a crime, it's a test for you. In the days to come, study hard and reflect.
Remember not to give up on yourself. When your tempering is over, this CP... is still up to you. "
"Thank you sir."
Lu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head deeply, and dropped his body directly to the ground, giving the Five Old Stars the highest standard and the most demeaning gift.
Sakaski, who was holding his arms and looked unhappy, was also a little moved, because he suddenly remembered... What Kizaru said, in less than half a month, the revolutionary army will attack Mary Joa.
Abandoned Lu Qi, how to stop the revolutionary army?
