Baker didn't care about Tyzog's ridicule at all. He couldn't afford to lose a careless loss when it involved huge interests. Looking at this trading city, it was also very simple and there was no problem. But the South China Sea Federation was singled out for something, which must be very complicated. He now regretted coming to discuss this matter more and more. He came here to suppress the South China Sea Federation for profit. Now he was trapped here and felt restless every day. This was too uncomfortable. He wanted to solve it quickly and go home quickly. "Can you please tell me why the South China Sea Federation wants these places and the list of trading cities?" "The South China Sea Federation is going to build a sea train here. These places on paper are the routes of the first route. It's that simple." Sea Train! This plan that has been circulating in the South China Sea for several years was actually not implemented by the Sobel Kingdom, but by the South China Sea Federation! No wonder, these are all on the same line, and these cities have great ambitions. You don't need to think about it to know how wary the 20 countries are of this kind of thing. They will definitely be beaten to a pulp because of this. Everyone knows that if it is really built, this route will definitely make money, a lot of money, faster than robbing money. "Well, for such an important matter, I need to pass the information back to 20 countries and let them make a decision. Can you wait for a few days?" "Of course, but please help me convey a few words. First, this is a request, not a plea. If you do not agree to these demands, your soldiers will not return.
Second, as for the sea train plan, our South China Sea Federation is determined to succeed. In order to realize this plan, we don’t mind fighting another sea battle. Third, we welcome partners who are willing to invest in the sea train project. We already have a mature project book and you can come to negotiate at any time. That's all. You must convey these words word for word, understand? Don't let me down. Oh, and Mr. Baker, if you invest, you have the first-mover advantage. " Here it comes again, this kind of devil's whisper... How could I... Not that I can't. This money is earned by everyone. After working hard to negotiate on Batlila Island, it is understandable to have a little profit. Damn, this green-haired guy is simply a devil among devils. With extremely complicated feelings, Baker returned to his room and passed these words back. As expected, huge waves arose among the 20 countries in the South China Sea. "This South China Sea Federation is too much. They actually forced us to agree with such harsh conditions. Some of the islands belong to our country! Sigh~ For the overall interests of the world's member countries and for the peace of the South China Sea, we should agree." "Yes, we think so too. After all, the lives of the soldiers are in the hands of those peasants. They are all our own people. I can't bear to see them suffer. Let's agree." "Bullshit, your country is right within the flight path, that's why you say such things. Why are you pretending to be friendly to the people now? Who doesn't know who you are? It's just a few dollars, why do you care? I think we shouldn't compromise! Can the South China Sea Federation really attack us?" The conference hall was in an uproar. The news quickly spread throughout the South China Sea. Many big businessmen in traditional industries, such as the shipping industry, went crazy. This was a threat to their lives. They were clamoring to fight the South China Sea Federation to the death. At the same time, at night, many ships sailed to Batlila Island. War is war, but business still needs to be negotiated. Maybe after establishing business relations, the war will be completely over. They invested in the Sea Train Project for the sake of peace in the South China Sea. The 20 countries in the South China Sea are completely divided. The war did not divide them, and the interests were easily fulfilled. Between countries, between capitals, they criticize each other every day, and the previous unity seems to have never existed. Noah was not surprised at all when he learned about this, because they were just a large interest group. You know, even in today's Eastern society, there are still conflicts among different interest groups among the people. Even if the West uses the "containment and balance" strategy proposed by James Madison, it will still fall into an irreversible situation. Everyone can see that this is an open conspiracy of the South China Sea Federation, which is clearly intended to split the opposing interest groups, but what can be done? The merchants who had already arrived at Batlila Island filled a large conference hall. As mentioned before, the South China Sea had already changed hands on the day the South China Sea Federation was established. The only difference was the method used to control it. Chapter 238 The dust settles in the South China Sea
After nearly a week of quarreling among the 20 countries in the South China Sea, the South China Sea Federation suddenly announced that the Sea Train Project had begun. The first phase of the project was to build the main line from Sobel Island to Batlila Island. The planned route includes six large cities and 10 small cities. The project investment is mainly from the South China Sea Federation and the Kingdom of Sobel, as well as the Kingdom of Itis represented by Sir Baker. When the news came back, everyone was stunned. The South Sea Federation has always been very tough, so they can repair it if they want. The Kingdom of Sobel was the first country to propose a plan, so it is understandable. But Bakerland... "Traitor! He was asked to be the United Nations Foreign Minister, but he ended up following those peasants. It's too shameful. I strongly suggest that I replace the traitor. The subsequent work still needs reliable people." "It's my turn to go now. I'm the most determined person. When I go to Batlila Island, I'm sure I'll spit at that bastard Baker." In order to go to the South China Sea Federation to prove their anger, everyone once again demonstrated their firm beliefs and bottom line, which made people sigh. If everyone was like what they showed, the South China Sea Federation would have been destroyed by them long ago, leaving nothing but ashes. In the end, some people were unwilling to continue acting. "Forget it. It doesn't matter who goes now. Since Baker has such a good relationship with them, let him discuss all the issues. Everyone, our country will not accompany you anymore." "It's been almost half a year for us too. We've lost a lot of money and have been putting in a lot of losses. We can't hold on any longer. Sorry everyone." After that, several national representatives left. Seeing this, the others looked at each other and left one after another, finding various reasons to do so. The South China Sea 20-nation alliance was disbanded. There are only a few major countries left here and they don't know what to do. They can't win the war and they can't make profits. "Since the situation in the South China Sea is like this, let's all return to our own countries. After so many years, under the rule of the World Government, even if there are new forces, they will slowly merge into our ranks. It's just a matter of time." "That's right. With the World Government around, they won't do anything too extreme. Once the ransom is paid, everything will be fine." The final cornerstone has collapsed. There is no longer any force in the entire South China Sea that would openly oppose the South China Sea Federation. Everyone knows that a new overlord of the South China Sea has emerged. Little do they know that the World Government they have high hopes for and believe in is the ultimate goal that needs to be overthrown in the eyes of the Revolutionary Army, and even more outrageous things are waiting for them in the future. Afterwards, various countries sent representatives to Batlila Island, and they all did three things. First, they redeemed their own soldiers. Each country paid a different price and kept it secret. This once again intensified mutual suspicion. There were rumors that some countries took the soldiers away without even paying the ransom. The second is to try to participate in the Sea Train Project. If you can't beat them, then join them. Anyone who doesn't do such a profitable business is a fool. I heard that the people of the Seven Waters City also want to get involved. That's not okay. How can we let the people of the Grand Line participate in the affairs of the South China Sea? The third is the crazy attacks and abuses against Baker. This despicable guy sold out everyone in exchange for his own interests. It's a pity that this kind of person was so disdainful of the South China Sea Federation before he left, but after he came, he actually licked its boots. What's even more infuriating is that he actually got it. In fact, all the rumors and gossips during this period were originally spread by Noah. After they spread, the subsequent versions were processed and improved by the people of the sea themselves. The effect was very good. The powerful people in the South China Sea only thought about making money, fearing that they would be stabbed in the back by the lords of some country again, and no longer thought about other trivial matters. The hardliners, war advocates, hawks, etc. were all dealt with by the countries themselves. These useless people are just powerful in words. Why keep them around if we don't deal with them? Oh, the sky in the South China Sea is finally starting to clear up. Strike while the iron is hot, the groundbreaking ceremony for the sea train is being prepared on Batlila Island. Celebrities from all walks of life in the South China Sea are invited to witness that a great project is about to begin. As invitations were sent out one after another, the entire South China Sea was plunged into a new frenzy. Representatives from countless countries and countless big businessmen came to show their support. Are you kidding? It doesn't matter who comes at this time. Who doesn't come is the main news. If there is no cooperation now, there will be no cooperation in the future? We are all in the South China Sea. Just give each other some face and let it go. Basically, everyone was almost there a few days in advance. After everyone arrived, they exchanged some so-called insider information in twos and threes, hoping to get a share of the next project. Among them, Bakerlund is a particularly eye-catching presence. As a member of a non-South China Sea Federation, he actually had the honor to participate in the first project. Who would believe that there is no story behind it?
Everyone present was certain that this guy was a dog that never bites and was an absolute ruthless character. Facing countless murderous gazes, Bakerran didn't care about the cries of these losers. Humph, this was earned by him. After Tyzog said those heartbreaking words that day, he only needed one night to figure it out. The 20-nation alliance belongs to the 20-nation alliance, and Backram belongs to Backram. No one is nobler than the other. When I saw Tyzog again the next day, this guy already looked like he was willing to be a running dog. He absolutely supports all proposals of the South China Sea Federation and agrees to all the requirements of the Sea Train Plan. He also proposed many plans targeting the South China Sea 20-nation alliance, which is more vicious than Noah. He played a big role in the rapid dissolution of the 20-nation alliance. He was the best person to understand the representatives of those countries. He made countless phone calls in private, which were broadcasted to Tyzog in real time. He learned a lot from watching all the promises, guarantees, and interests. If the South China Sea Federation had not been backed by the Revolutionary Army and had not had a firm belief in ideology, it is possible that the Federation would not have gained any advantage this time. I have underestimated this guy. He is really good in his own field. As the first national representative to surrender, Noah instructed that he should give some good things to win over the younger brother, such as investment and dividends in the first route. It also set an example for the later comers in the South China Sea that following the big brother will bring great benefits. In order to ensure the safety of the scene and to reassure the navy about this matter, the famous navy veteran Mr. Zefa was specially invited. Noah personally invited Zefa. Zefa knew that the Revolutionary Army was behind the South Sea Federation, and if it was not handled properly, it would easily backfire. Chapter 239 No Need for Salvation ZHU "What do you want to see me for? You guys are doing so much in the South China Sea, so powerful and domineering. There's no need to plot against me anymore." Zefa was in a headache. He really didn't want to have any more contact with this bastard in front of him. He had the same intention when he ran away after beating him last time. But this time he came to block the door. He was so bold. An invitation letter from the South China Sea Federation was sent directly to the South China Sea branch, and then a sharp sword energy came from outside the branch. Is there any need to ask about this familiar sword energy? It’s from that psychotic little kid. Every time I come here, I want to spread some ideas and talk about some truths. It's obvious that it's already popular. But it's quite reasonable, but it's annoying. How can you just focus on a veteran like me and take advantage of me? The angry Zefa put on his coat and went out, following the guidance of the sword energy to a secret warehouse. Ding kicked the door open and saw Noah inside leisurely making tea, which made him even more angry. "Noah, little brat, do you think I dare not catch you?" "No, Admiral Zefa's justice is well-known on the sea. This time I came mainly to invite you to witness the launch of the sea train project on behalf of the South China Sea Federation." "Humph, your project is nothing more than trying to make more money. I won't go for such a thing." "Um, you haven't finished reading the books I gave you before? Well, I misunderstood. Those books are indeed a bit high-end." This tone made Zefa's Armament Haki unconsciously wrapped around his fist. If he kept talking, his buddies would hit him, so it was better to restrain himself. He took out three things from behind and placed them on the table. Zefa looked at these things with some caution: a map of the South China Sea, a small box, and a large mechanical creation. ? "What do these mean? Wouldn't it be disrespectful if you bribed me with these?" Following the principle of asking when you don't understand, I spoke decisively and told a not-so-funny joke. "Let's go through them one by one. The first drawing is the route drawing of the Sea Train Project."
Zefa took a look and found something wrong. How could there be so many routes, almost covering half of the South China Sea, and many small and medium-sized cities and villages were also on them. If this is true, then the investment is an astronomical figure. Apart from the World Government, he can't think of any other force that can build such a transportation network. Out of vigilance against the revolutionary army, he had been paying attention to the South Sea Federation's every move. He also had the evaluation report of the sea train. He did not comment on such a blueprint. "The second one is an instant messenger. For example, if I dial out now, I can contact our comrades on Batlila Island." After that, Noah picked up the communicator and called Taizog. After a few simple words about the current situation, he hung up. Looking at this scene, Zefa's pupils shrank, and then he used his Observation Haki to the extreme, but he still couldn't find the person he was talking to within the range, so this was really a contact with Batlila Island? A new communication method appeared on the sea, and it was instant communication. The Revolutionary Army actually had an independent communication system, breaking the 800-year-old habit. But why? Why would they use this device when they already had Den Den Mushi? "This is a purely technological creation. Through some means, it is now possible to carry out instant communication in most areas of the South China Sea. And it can be mass-produced. The cost is also very low. We can make sure that everyone in the South China Sea has one. Note that this means everyone, including civilians!" ! Looking at the gadget in his hand again, Zefa took a breath of cold air. It can actually be done to this extent. Doesn't this mean that the barriers between people's communication have been eliminated? This thing is absolutely a subversive creation for the ocean, it's so scary. Wait! Zefa took back the blueprint and looked at the sea train routes that were almost all over the South China Sea. In terms of space, communication, and between people... What a terrible idea! What's even more terrible is that they actually did it! The barrier that had blocked the sea for 800 years was eliminated in this way, and this strong sense of unreality filled Zefa's heart. When he came to his senses, he was a little worried about what the World Government would do. Even if he was paralyzed for a while, as more and more sea train lines were built, they would eventually find problems. When this communicator appears in the sea again, a horrific war will cover the South China Sea. By then, all lives will be lost and the sea will be dyed red with blood. "Mr. Zefa, there is one last thing. This is called a radio, and it is a bit like a communicator. As long as you turn it on, you can hear the latest news and the latest ideas anywhere in the South China Sea. Isn't it interesting? Let me demonstrate it to you. It's in the testing phase. Now there are only some short stories being recorded and played in a loop." I turned on the radio and heard Noah's voice. He didn't talk about any revolutionary principles, but just some simple and crude stories. Something like if you beat the oppressors, you will have food to eat, a good house to live in, and a wife to marry. It was very pornographic and violent. Seeing this scene, Zefa was so scared that he took two steps back. This system was too perfect. "You have actually gone this far, and the World Government has been fooled by you. Noah, I beg you, please stop. If you continue like this, I believe you know what will happen to the South China Sea. It is not impossible that what happened in O'Hara will happen again in the entire South China Sea. The revolutionary army’s understanding of justice is correct, but... even I am afraid. I am afraid that this world will become devastated because of your justice. Besides, if you do this, how many people will understand you in the end? They will only complain that the revolutionary army has dragged them down for their ambitions. You must know this after so many years at sea." Many people in the revolutionary army also have concerns about the war starts, how will the civilians be affected, even if they are given land, even if the sea train brings good changes to their lives, but this is how people feel. "I didn't think about how much gratitude I would receive, and it's reasonable for them to feel resentful in the future. However, when they are given new hope, a new life, new ideas and new benefits, will they be willing to go back to their previous life? The transfer of means of production is always accompanied by bloodshed, and they need to fight for their own lives. The Revolutionary Army is not a savior! What this world needs is not a savior! What it needs is every ordinary intelligent life to stand up on their own! " Chapter 240 Something went wrong inside
Zefa was speechless. He knew the origin of this sentence and the theory behind it. But the more he knew, the more scared he became.
