The Beautiful Swordsman Came with a Barbecue
Chapter 712: unexpected enemy
Tudon, outside the arms warehouse, three CP0 agents dressed in white suits looked at the situation in the warehouse with solemn expressions.
There were corpses lying in the warehouse, but there was no tragic state of blood. The fallen corpses included members of the Beast Pirates, as well as prisoners who agreed to dress.
And they didn't have any open wounds. Looking at the twisted faces and the palette-like skin, the three realized that these people were probably killed by poison.
In the Beast Pirates Pirates, Plague Quinn happened to be very good at this, but... this kind of poisonous killing, even the CP0 agent, who has always been known for his ruthlessness and cruelty, was surprised.
Even CP0s who have no bottom line actually have a bottom line, which is to complete the task. In order to complete the task, they can do everything, even abandoning their colleagues.
Or when the colleague was hijacked, it was destroyed together with the colleague and the enemy, but the scene in front of him was obviously not, but a simple massacre. The battle here was just started and ended by the poisonous epidemic.
Most of the people in the Beast Pirates do not need to die if they follow the normal logic of action, but at this time, they have all turned into petri dishes for viruses.
This situation is not a good thing for them. After all... Quinn, who is indistinguishable between the enemy and the enemy, may not keep their hands on these CP0s, no... No need, maybe, just not. hand.
Quinn should have also learned about the battle situation on Kaido's side. After all, such a battle does not need to be witnessed or broadcasted by video. Even from such a long distance, you can easily feel the extraordinary situation of the battle.
Kaido's battles have escalated again and again, and it seems that he is constantly erupting his hidden power, but with Quinn's experience following Kaido for so many years, he must know... This is not normal Kaido.
Not to mention Quinn, even a few of them felt that Kaido didn't think about winning this battle alive.
I just don't know how much Quinn's loyalty to Kaido is.
If Quinn is deadly loyal to Kaido, then maybe he will go with him, and even take everything he can, and go with Kaido.
Whether it is people or things, it is very likely that Quinn will be regarded as Kaido's funeral, although...the goal of several of them is to dispose of the arms here.
But they don't want to take the guise of Quinn's hand. After all, there are risks to others. What if Quinn's loyalty to Kaido is not as good as they expected?
What if Quinn just wanted to make a big noise and walked away quietly? What if Quinn retreated at the last moment?
Therefore, if these arms are to be destroyed, they can only be destroyed by their CP0, but the order from Mary Joa has not been issued yet, which makes Coleman unable to make up his mind.
Watching the sun go down again, Maha looked at Coleman and asked, "Don't do it? Maybe night is our best chance?"
Hearing Maha's question, Coleman's hand subconsciously reached out to the pocket containing the phone bug, wanting to ask for instructions, but stopped before he could touch him.
After all, the Navy won't give him a chance to communicate with Mary Joa, and now he can only pray... Stucci is a reliable CP0 agent.
However, they also had to make a plan that Stucci would not convey the information smoothly, and Coleman touched his mask with his paused hand.
It seems to be making sure that the mask is worn firmly, and it is also like making up his mind, and then he said: "Before dawn, if there is no order to come, let's do it."
"Blood~"
Just after Coleman gave the order, and the other two hadn't answered, the phone bug on Coleman's body suddenly rang, and several people's bodies tensed instantly.
Coleman quickly took out the phone bug and connected, and the phone bug in his hand quickly transformed into the face of a long-bearded old star, and the old star said: "The information has been received, and the navy must not be allowed to obtain this batch of arms. .
The old man gives you the highest freedom of action, but you must be responsible for your actions. As long as the arms do not fall into the hands of the navy, you can take any action, even destroying the arms. "
"Yes! Lord Five Old Stars."
Coleman saluted quickly, even though he knew that there was a high probability that the phone bug over the Five Old Stars would not see him salute, but he still did it.
After Coleman answered, the phone worm was quickly hung up and did not say more.
At this time, in the windless zone, the long-bearded old star put down the phone bug with a heavy face, looked at the equally dignified Stuthy, and said, "Is the information on Malin Fando's side confirmed?"
"It's confirmed, there are only a few rotating navy left, and some old veterans. As for the stationed detachment, it has been gradually transferred to the new world in the past month.
And yesterday, Warring States, Karp, and Zefa also brought more than 60,000 recruits across the red soil continent and arrived in the new world. They are now scattered in the twenty-five branches of the new world, and they seem to be waiting for some order. "
Stuthy replied quickly. She had been collecting information for the past day. On the Five Old Stars side, she finally made up her mind after a long discussion.
Naosu Lao Xing heard the words and nodded silently. After a while, he asked, "Stucci, what do you think of Lu Qi?"
Hearing this question, Stucci's eyelids twitched, not daring to answer the question.
After all, she is still Lu Qi's subordinate, how can the subordinate easily evaluate Lu Qi? What's more, the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards Lu Qi is unclear for the time being.
Although Lu Qi was not only seriously injured and dying due to recent events, but even his full strength was handed over to the Five Old Stars, and his future was bleak.
But what puzzled Stuxi the most was that the Five Old Stars never really convicted Lu Qi. This kind of ambiguous attitude made Stucci, an old agent, unpredictable.
Without knowing the attitude of the Five Old Stars, Stuthy did not dare to answer this question lightly. If her answer was consistent with the Five Old Stars' opinions, it would be fine, but at most it was a bit of an arrogance in etiquette.
But if her opinion contradicts the views of the Five Old Stars, then it is very serious. She is very likely to be regarded by the Five Old Stars as someone who does not fit the World Government. Also a hazard.
Old Star Nasu looked at Stucci's embarrassed expression and said, "Don't worry, just say it directly, even the five of me have not yet concluded Lu Qi's opinion.
You are also a member of CP0. Maybe your views on Lu Qi can bring us a different perspective and inspiration. It is not necessarily a private conversation. "
Hearing Naosu Lao Xing say this, Stuthy knew that she could not answer, but for Lu Qi... Stuthy's views are also extremely complicated. After thinking for a while, she said:
"Lu Qi... is not like a CP0 agent. But past experience has proved that CP0 is unable to limit the uncontrolled development of the Navy, let alone resist the rise of the Revolutionary Army.
Perhaps, the few of you who chose Lu Qi to serve as the CP0 executive also wanted to see if he could lead CP0 out of the current predicament in a unique way? "
"You don't need to take our thoughts into consideration, just say your opinion."
Old Star Nasu shook his head and avoided Stuthy's question, Stuthy nodded and continued: "Since the reconstruction of CP0 is a foregone conclusion, let Lu Qi try again.
Maybe he is not suitable to lead the past and present CP0, but maybe he can lead the future CP0 well?
What's more, the Tianlong people don't have much opinion on Lu Qi's various mistakes. When I was collecting information yesterday, I also heard a Tianlong person say..."
Stuthy paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "In CP0, perhaps Rob Luqi is the only one who is loyal to the Tianlong people.
Perhaps this view of the Tianlong people is deliberately guided, but it has to be admitted that many of Lu Qi's mistakes did not come from him, but from the scourge left over from the history of CP0. "
Naosu Laoxing nodded and said, "However, isn't it incompetence as a new officer that you can't lead the old team to become better?"
"Indeed." Stucci first agreed, and then said: "But, it's not absolutely true, right? Just like Coleman and others, their disobedience was doomed from the moment Lu Qi became the prefect.
There are many people who are similar to him in CP0. In just one year, Lu Qi has almost straightened out the whole CP0 context, and also eliminated some people who may harm CP0.
But he only has a short period of one year. From the current point of view, under the condition that CP0 can continue to operate as usual, there are only four pests that are very likely to be doomed before he came to power...
This also shows that there is no problem with his ability. "
Among the four people mentioned by Stuthy, in addition to the three Coleman, there is another one, Morant, who killed the Tianlong people and was finally executed under Lu Qi's hands.
The reason why Stucci said good things to Lu Qi is very simple, because Coleman is more like the CP0 agent who endangered the world government than Lu Qi.
As for what Coleman said, Lu Qi is very likely to betray the World Government. Stutsy has reservations. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is Coleman, not Lu Qi, who damages the interests of the World Government.
Of course, Stuthy had to admit that the reason why she chose to support Lu Qi, the opinions of the Tianlong people are also very important.
The World Government, or the Five Old Stars, would not care about the opinions or opinions of one or two Tianlong people. After being a CP0 for so many years, Stuthy knew the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards the individual Tianlong people.
The Five Old Stars will give every Tianlong person face, but the premise is that these Tianlong people do not embarrass the world government, but if the world government dares to embarrass the world government, then... such an individual Tianlong person has no need to live.
However, if it is the consensus of the Tianlong people, the Five Old Stars will still consider it carefully and respect it, just like this time the incident of Charles Rose, the Five Old Stars dealt with it extremely positively.
Although they had no way to arrest the "murderer" Skyler and deal with the navy strictly, as promised to the Tianlong people, they also tried their best to make all the Tianlong people feel that they had achieved this.
Even if it is to deceive all the Celestial Dragons...
Of course, this is also the helplessness of the Five Old Stars, after all... If they really have the ability to deal with Skyler, they are also willing to do so in order to quell the anger of all Tianlong people.
But the problem is that the Five Old Stars can't do it at all, and even if they can't deal with Skyler, the Five Old Stars will try their best to punish the Navy. If nothing else, the Navy's status in the World Conference has been directly lowered to the bottom.
The key resources do not have the share of the navy, and even the military expenses, the Five Old Stars have never promised, and the navy will most likely not want to ask the world government for the military expenses next year.
Even if the world government gives it, it will at most use the minimum amount to ensure that the navy will not starve to death, and allocate military expenses.
Of course, the consequence of this is... the navy has betrayed directly. Today's navy does not need to wait for the military spending allocated by the world government next year.
However, despite the frequent occurrence of accidents, it can also show that the Five Old Stars respect the opinions of the Tianlong people.
This time Morant's behavior was very bad. At first, the Tianlong people also clamored to make all the CP0 agents, the guards, the Knights of God, and even the five old stars to apologize.
However, under the guidance of a fat official named McKinsey, the wind in the Tianlong people gradually changed and became rational.
This change, Stucci did not believe that the five old stars did not realize it, but they were happy to see it happen. After all, what McKinsey did was to minimize the internal impact of this incident.
Of course, McKinsey's persuasion made Tianlong people no longer hold high the banner of abolishing the Five Old Stars, which is also an important reason why the Five Old Stars condoned McKinsey's lobbying work.
After all, McKinsey's lobbying was mixed with selfishness. For example, Lu Qi, who was a sinner from the beginning, was gradually whitewashed and became the only agent in CP0 who was still loyal to the Tianlong people.
The people of Tianlong even started to write a letter suggesting that Lu Qi should not be punished. After all, he was the one who worked hard to make up for this incident in Morant, and the effect was also the best.
Morant, who the Knights of God could not take down for a long time, was killed by Lu Qi with one blow, and then he forced out the other people sent by the revolutionary army. Although during the pursuit, Lu Qi was unfortunately seriously injured and lost the mission target.
But what about others? After the Revolutionary Army escaped, the Knights of God did not even pursue it, and the other CP agents and guards were also searching ineffectively like headless flies.
In comparison, Lu Qi, who almost sacrificed his life, is the one who deserves the most forgiveness and the most opportunity.
Stucci also knows why McKinsey has such selfishness, the reason is very simple, Lu Qi and his colleagues were brought back by McKinsey.
When Lu Qi and others were wanted by CP9, it was McKinsey who persuaded the Tianlong people to give Lu Qi and others a way out, and Lu Qi lived up to expectations, from a CP9 loser to a CP0 agent.
No matter what purpose McKinsey had in helping Lu Qi, it was impossible to see him executed at this time. McKinsey was also excellent at tying up his own selfishness and public affairs.
If Wu Laoxing wants to stop him from lobbying the Tianlong people to forgive Lu Qi, it is equivalent to stopping McKinsey from lobbying the Tianlong people to forgive the world government.
However, perhaps even the Five Old Stars did not expect that McKinsey would have such a high influence among the Tianlong people, not only to help Lu Qi get out of his crime, but also to win the Five Old Stars to reconsider Lu Qi's future. Opportunity.
Stuthy can't believe it, if there are no other factors, Naosu Lao Xing will say that the five of them are inconclusive about Lu Qi.
Even after the recent incidents that angered the Tianlong people, the Five Old Stars must win the understanding and re-trust of the Tianlong people, so... there is a high probability that all the crimes of Lu Qi will be avoided.
That's why Stuthy chose to stand on Lu Qi's side, and her words were also giving the Five Old Stars a step up.
Wu Laoxing must not say that he chose to forgive Lu Qi's fault in order to obtain the understanding of the Tianlong people, and her advice gave Wu Lao Xing an excuse to forgive Lu Qi.
In this way, the Five Old Stars did not forgive Lu Qi for the sake of the Tianlong people, but "heard and adopted" the opinions of CP0's internal members. In order not to affect the development and unity of CP0, they chose to give Lu Qi a chance.
How could Stucci, who has worked as a CP0 agent for many years and wandered in this sea underground world all the year round, not understand?
After finishing speaking, Stuxi looked at Old Star Naosu, and sure enough, Old Star Naosu had a satisfied expression on his face, nodded, and said, "You are right, we will discuss it again after we go back.
The CP0 in the past did not develop well, and there were many loopholes inside. In this runaway era, what Lu Qi has done is really good enough.
But...Stucci, haven't you thought about it? After the abolition of Lu Qi, you are the first-ranked successor of the CP0 commander. Don't you want to become the CP0 commander and better serve the world government and the Tianlong people? "
Hearing Old Star Nasu's question, Stuthy showed a charming smile and said, "If it is to destroy a talent that is beneficial to the World Government so that I can be promoted, then I would rather stick to my current position."
The position of the CP0 chief is not so easy to hold. After all, if something happens to the top and bottom of the CP, the first person to be stabbed is the chief of the CP0.
If it wasn't for Lu Qi's help from McKinsey, he would have died by now. Even if he didn't die, he would have been tortured.
CP is not like the navy "will be outside", what's more, there are countless mercenaries in the navy outside the depths of Mary Joa. In the past years, the position of the marshal was not a sweet pastry.
In the past 20 years, from the moment Skyler completed his righteous expedition, the navy really stood up, and with the guarding of the three generals of Chi Huangqing and Skyler's fortifications, it was only in the past 16 years that they have been able to qualified to challenge.
Going forward, which one of Sora and his predecessors, the Admiral, is not scolded by the Five Old Stars every day, and will step down if he is not careful?
Therefore, in Stuthy's mind, becoming a CP0 officer is definitely not a goal that she will consider and strive for in her career. Now she just wants to solve the troubles here and return to her own happy street.
However, Naosu Laoxing didn't seem to want her to go back. After Nasu Laoxing heard Stuthy's speech, he asked: "If the world government decides to reuse Lu Qi, you are willing to investigate for me, what does Lu Qi have? Not eligible to continue serving as the CP0 chief?"
Hearing this, Stuthy was a little puzzled and asked, "Do you want me to go on a mission with him?"
"Well, there is indeed a mission, which is very important. If I only let Lu Qi go alone, I don't feel relieved."
Naosu Laoxing nodded, and Stuthy asked again: "What is the mission?"
"Kill Vegapunk."
"This..."
Stuthy looked at Naosu Old Star with a puzzled expression, and didn't understand why he wanted to attack Vega Punk. After all, Vega Punk had recently contributed a lot of good things to the World Government.
First, the pacifist version 2.0, and then before the 2.0 version was put into production, he came up with the updated Qunxing plan, but it was renamed the Seraph by the five old stars.
Although I don't know what the real reason is, when I was gathering information yesterday, Stuthy heard a waiter discussing, saying that it was the code name of "Quanxing", which made the Five Old Stars feel a little guilty.
After all, the five of them are collectively known as the Five Old Stars, so Vega Punk raised the code name of the mechanical creation to the stars, which made them very unhappy.
Of course, there is also a saying that the code name of the stars, in the eyes of the five old stars, is very similar to Skyler's subordinates, so he rejected Begapunk.
Even though Vegapunk explained the code name of the stars in the palindrome, it was only because the eyes and pupils of these pacifists were star-shaped, so it was called the stars, but it was rejected again.
Although Stuthy thinks these rumors are a bit... childish, but it doesn't make the Five Old Stars want to kill Vega Punk, right? After all, bumping names is normal, and it’s not completely bumped.
Old Star Naosu seemed to know that Stuthy was thinking nonsense, and said: "Don't think too much, it's just that his use value for the World Government has been exhausted.
Allowing him to study will only allow him to study those things that are not good for the World Government. With all the information of the pacifists, it is enough for the World Government to maintain the stability of the entire world. "
'only...'
Stuthy caught the problem in Naosu Laoxing's words, and he was even more puzzled. After all... Is this a slip of the tongue, or did the five Laoxing firmly believe that Vega Punk will be detrimental to the World Government in the future?
But this time, Stuthy didn't show any flaws on his face, he just nodded and said, "I understand, just killing Vega Punk... I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Maybe Vegapunk has carried out research on harmful weapons that we don't know about in private, it's not necessarily, it's just me, and the words of Lu Qi, who is still seriously injured..."
Appropriate requests for help will not disgust your boss, especially a boss like Wu Laoxing who has a strong desire to control and explore, it will only make you feel more at ease.
Because of this, they would be able to know that their subordinates had the upper limit of their abilities. The Five Old Stars were most afraid of people like Skyler or Shanks, who had no idea what their abilities were.
And Stuthy also used words to guide him, making Naosu Old Star think that Vega Punk is also such a person. After hearing Stuci's words, his brows also wrinkled, and then he said:
"Subsequent discussions on this matter, perhaps after the Seraph is put into production and put into use, it will not be too late to carry out this mission."
"I understand."
Seeing Stuxi taking orders, Naosu nodded, and said, "Go back, I have a lot of important things that need to be discussed."
"Yes!"
Stuthy turned around and dispatched the warship to return. A few gestures and brief instructions were issued, and the warship's engine began to run.
But soon, the brows of Stuthy and Naosu Laoxing were both furrowed, because the warship that was supposed to complete the turn was stuck in the same place, and the waves were swirling in circles.
"There are enemies!"
Stuthy shivered, instantly became vigilant, and looked around.
"boom!"
There was a sudden distance under the sea, and the colliding warship shook for a while.
