Chapter 250

Every question seemed simple, but it went straight to the essence. Xiaoba felt like he was sitting on a pincushion, feeling the cold light on his back. He stammered a lot, and even later, he felt that his head was all mush. I can't even remember what I said.

When the assessment was over, Xiaoba let out a sigh of relief and touched his back with his rough, calloused hands, which was covered with cold sweat.

Just when Xiaoba felt that his future was promising and he might not be able to successfully pass the exam, he suddenly heard a voice that sounded like the sound of nature:

"Congratulations, you passed three assessments and were successfully selected to become a member of the navy."

Hearing this, Xiaoba burst into tears.

The annual salary of the trainee navy is 300,000 Baileys, and he has been ashore since then!

The other fish-men who were not selected were almost jealous and envious when they saw that the mediocre Xiao Hachi was able to pass the extremely stringent third question and answer test. They wished they could take Xiao Ba's place. There were also some smart fish-men. It seems that he has understood the purpose of the Navy's third question and answer assessment, and secretly noted down the key findings to pave the way for himself.

Chapter 393 Contract Workers and Outsourced Workers

The other fish-men who were not selected were almost jealous and envious when they saw that the mediocre Xiao Hachi was able to pass the extremely stringent third question and answer test. They wished they could take Xiao Ba's place. There were also some smart fish-men. It seems that he has understood the purpose of the Navy's third question and answer assessment, and secretly noted down the key findings to pave the way for himself.

As for those who were not selected, before they could leave, Major General Ain put forward the servant army recruitment plan that Lieutenant General Domino had prepared. Although the salary was only half of that of the regular army, there was a chance that they could be promoted into the regular army, which still made these unsuccessful candidates People flock to it like ducks.

After three rounds of screening, a total of more than 400 people, including Xiaoba, were successfully selected and became glorious naval soldiers.

More than four hundred people are not that small.

Generally speaking, the number of naval branches scattered all over the world ranges from 50 to 1,000. More than 400 people are enough to complete many daily tasks, and Lieutenant General Domino also created a servant army to recruit more than 2,000 fish who were not selected. Everyone is invited in, and there will probably be more in the future.

I have to say that it’s really cool to offload the work of current employees to outsourcers.

In the following days, Lieutenant General Domino tasted the benefits of it, and even recorded his emotions specifically for this, bound it into a book and sent it to Yang Ming, trying to attract Yang Ming's attention.

When Yang Ming received this book titled "Two or Three Ideas from the Servant Army to the Regular Army", the look on his face was extremely interesting. While he was a little bit dumbfounded, he also secretly sighed that he had so many talents under his command that he actually let They found such a way.

I just don’t know if people like Lieutenant General Domino will learn bad things and outsource all the dirty work from now on, and the regular army will become a leisurely boss.

Human nature is to enjoy leisure and hate work, and this kind of thing is bound to happen.

Yang Ming can only formulate fairer rules and regulations as much as possible to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the regular army will not decrease, and at the same time, it can also indirectly expand the navy's team.

The establishment of the servant army is enough to attract other races to participate. There are too many races like the fishmen that are difficult to live in this sea. As long as Yang Ming opens this hole, there will definitely be many Aliens who could not survive swarmed in.

This kind of thing does not require Yang Ming to work hard.

Yang Ming only needs to draw a few circles on the map, delineate several naval branch bases to serve as experimental fields, and order Lieutenant General Smogg and other loyal generals to use Lieutenant General Domino's "From Servant Army to Regular Army" "Two or Three Ideas" book as a model, you can just go and operate it.

He looked up at the huge map hanging on the wall, with flags symbolizing naval power stuck upside down.

Among them, most of the West Sea among the four seas is covered with naval flags. This is the result of the tireless efforts of the Governor-General to suppress bandits over the years. The West Sea, which was once known as the strongest sea, has now become the weakest sea. Mafia and pirates are rarely seen on this sea, and the security environment has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The remaining three seas are also gradually advancing. As long as the four seas are thoroughly managed, the boom in the number of pirates can be cut off and the arrival of a new era of pirates. When all pirates in the Grand Line and the New World are wiped out, This will bring the world into a brief period of peace.

Of course, the so-called peace is naturally short-lived.

As long as Im-sama and the Celestial Dragons exist in this world, there will be exploitation of the common people. If the exploitation is not eliminated, the soil that supports pirates will continue to exist.

On this huge map, in addition to the naval power that is gradually expanding to various places, there is another rising star, and that is the revolutionary army.

With Yang Ming behind him to fund funds, weapons and equipment, the revolutionary army used it as a base after acquiring the Kingdom of Alabasta. After recuperating for half a year, it began to show up again and attacked from all sides, using its powerful strength to liberate five or six people around it. The feudal kingdom freed the exploited people.

The revolutionary army that once again appeared in front of the world has expanded to one million in number!

Although most of these one million warriors are recruits recruited from the Kingdom of Alabasta, there is only about half a year between them from ordinary people to gun-toting soldiers. Naturally, we cannot give them any high level of combat literacy. There are too many expectations, but their fighting passion and enthusiasm are incomparable to the decadent and backward Royal Army.

Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, and Yang Ming are irreconcilable friends. They share the same ideas. When formulating strategies, Long listened to Yang Ming's suggestions and boldly took big steps, shouting slogans:

"Beat the nobles and divide their lands!"

Why did the revolutionary army eliminate the influence of the Neferutari family's 800-year rule in just half a year after occupying the Kingdom of Alabasta, and gain widespread recognition and support from the local people?

This is one of the reasons!

After the revolutionary army took over the Kingdom of Alabasta, they clarified the ownership of land and property, and equally distributed the land and wealth of the evil nobles to every common person.

Let me ask you, how many nobles have not committed bad deeds these days?

It can be said that this approach of the Revolutionary Army directly disintegrated all the aristocratic forces in the Kingdom of Alabasta. Even if there were sporadic nobles who carried out armed resistance, they were no match for the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Long, and were quickly wiped out. .

After gaining widespread support from the common people, the revolutionary army used this to conquer all directions. Every time they conquered a kingdom, they repeated their experience in the Kingdom of Alabasta, completely overthrowing the nobles and gaining more support from the common people.

As a result, during this period of time, the Revolutionary Army's number of attacks did not decrease, but it continued to expand like a snowball. The number of troops increased exponentially, reaching as many as three million people.

If Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, had not been consciously restraining his subordinates, effectively controlling the army and streamlining the personnel, this number could have continued to increase several times.

Although the revolutionary army of three million people is large in number, its combat effectiveness is not necessarily as strong as that of the navy with one million people. It is filled with many new soldiers, even ordinary people who have just joined the army.

But no matter how you look at it, if the Revolutionary Army continues to develop like this, the size of the Revolutionary Army will continue to expand. Now it is centered on the Kingdom of Alabasta and uses the nearby recently conquered kingdom as a barrier to build a three-dimensional This line of defense has formed a terrifying force that intimidates the major participating countries of the World Government, like a ferocious beast crawling on the sea, eyeing other kingdoms.

Chapter 394 Prelude to Attacking the BIGMOM Pirates

But no matter how you look at it, if the Revolutionary Army continues to develop like this, the size of the Revolutionary Army will continue to expand. Now it is centered on the Kingdom of Alabasta and uses the nearby recently conquered kingdom as a barrier to build a three-dimensional This line of defense has formed a terrifying force that intimidates the major participating countries of the World Government, like a ferocious beast crawling on the sea, eyeing other kingdoms.

Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.

This is the second strategy Yang Ming gave to Long, the leader of the revolutionary army, after "attacking the nobles and dividing their fields".

After conquering several kingdoms near the Kingdom of Alabasta, what the revolutionary army needs is not bravery and advancement, but patience to polish the army, implement land finance to the end, completely eliminate the aristocratic forces in the territory, and at the same time instill ideas into the army, and through side training Improve the combat effectiveness of your army by fighting on the side.

There are only more than 170 countries that have joined the World Government. In just a few months, they have lost several countries. Moreover, these countries, ranging from kings to noble families, have all been wiped out by the revolutionary army. All wealth was distributed to every common person. This approach soon caused a whirlwind in the countries that joined the World Government.

To this end, the World Government specially convened a supreme meeting, chaired by the Five Old Stars, and kings of the major franchised countries came to discuss countermeasures together.

At the meeting, King Valpo of the Ciggu Kingdom said with emotion to the other kings:

"It's such a sin to distribute all the white Baileys to the poor!"

All the kings felt sad and at the same time fully agreed with this.

"The wealth of the country belongs to the king and the nobles, and everything belonging to the untouchables naturally belongs to us. What qualifications do they have to rob us from us?"

"Those untouchables are dirty, ignorant, and backward. They are all a bunch of lost lambs. They foolishly listened to the stupid words of the revolutionary army. This is all the fault of we shepherds here. After we eradicate the revolutionary army, we will definitely make them These lost lambs paid the price with blood!”

"Seconded!"

"Agree!"

The kings of the major franchise countries who attended the meeting were basically in the same camp, and their views on this aspect were surprisingly consistent.

Kobra sat in the seat of the Five Old Stars, listening to the speeches below, and had no choice but to frown and remain silent.

Seeing that his speech resonated with so many people, Valpo, the king of the Ciggu Kingdom, felt light on his face. After straightening his collar, he stood up and spoke to the Five Old Stars:

"We absolutely cannot continue to sit back and watch the revolutionary army develop and grow. We must destroy them before they grow up. We request the World Government to order the entire navy to attack and severely attack the arrogance of the revolutionary army."

Hearing this, Saint Jegolucia Satan, disguised as the crescent moon hunter Caterina Depon, first glanced at Kobra, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he said with a dull expression:

"We cannot accept your proposal."

"Why?"

"Because, Marshal Shura has decided a few months ago to destroy the Bigo Pirates before the decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. If we count the time, the Navy has been planning for such a long time, and it should have started now. Get mobilized."

"Nani?"

Upon hearing this shocking news, all the kings of the participating countries, including King Valpo of the Drum Kingdom, were shocked.

Before that, they had already heard the news that the Navy was going to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, but they had never heard the news that the Navy was going to destroy the Bigo Pirates first. Instead, there were various reports about the Bigo Pirates and Charlotte. The news of the family scandal has been reported one after another in the past few months, leaving a deep impression on people.

Of course, these are not the main points.

The point is, the power of the Bigo Pirates is different from that of the Beasts Pirates. Through marriages all the year round, they have already formed marriage relationships with major forces. If they want to wipe out the power of the Bigo Pirates, even if they succeed, it may lead to a weakening of the navy's vitality. hurt.

At that time, the Navy will still have to prepare for the next decisive battle with the Whitebeard Pirates. Will it still have the strength to attack the revolutionary army?

Thinking of this, the kings of the participating countries, including King Valpo of the Drum Kingdom, suddenly felt deeply uneasy in their hearts.

At this moment, how much they regretted that when Marshal Sengoku commanded the navy, they did not listen to Marshal Sengoku's advice and set up the position of Kingdom Guardian in their kingdom.

At that time, they mistakenly believed that the navy wanted to compete with them for power.

Now they are green with regret.

Of course, even if God gives them another chance, these stingy kings like Grandet will not set up guardians of the kingdom.

After all, they have to be responsible for all expenses, and they have to give the green light to the Kingdom Guardians to form the Kingdom Guards. No one will be worried about this. Only a few forty alliance countries have established the position of Kingdom Guardians and hired navy with high salaries. Retired generals from the headquarters serve.

And often, the joining countries that do this are extremely far away from the Kingdom of Alabasta, which is now the largest base of the revolutionary army on the surface, and they are not worried about the revolutionary army attacking the mainland in a short time.

Old God Kobra was sitting on the ground in the position of the Five Old Stars, watching the reactions of more than a hundred kings of the franchise countries. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, feeling solemnly in his heart:

"Could it be that all this was expected by Marshal Shura?"

"If this is the case, I'm afraid his plan has already begun when he was not the admiral of the Navy Headquarters."

"No! If we even boldly infer, it might have been even earlier than this!"

"But if that's the case, Marshal Shura was less than ten years old at that time!"

"I can only say that this is really a monster!"

"Fortunately, I am on the same camp as Marshal Shura now, and if Weiwei can marry such a powerful person, she won't have to worry about it for the rest of her life."

The protagonist that Cobra was thinking about was, as they said, already gathering troops at the navy headquarters. One after another, refurbished steel warships were displayed on the rippling blue sea, flowing under the sun. Steely color. .

After Yang Ming took over the post of marshal of the Navy Headquarters, all generals at the Navy Headquarters level and above were assigned steel warships. Each steel warship carried an average of 1,200 elite naval soldiers. When the soldier with bad boy skills stood on the deck, his whole body was filled with a masculine atmosphere.

Chapter 395 They will welcome you like a hero

After Yang Ming took over the post of marshal of the Navy Headquarters, all generals at the Navy Headquarters level and above were assigned steel warships. Each steel warship carried an average of 1,200 elite naval soldiers. When the soldier with bad boy skills stood on the deck, his whole body was filled with a masculine atmosphere.

Every soldier is fully armed, from feet to teeth, with a gun slung over his shoulder and a long knife around his waist. Their well-tailored military uniforms make them look energetic and their waists straight. Upright, like a spear standing on the ground, with eyes that are not squinting, eyes that are soul-stirring.

Every steel warship is parked on the sea outside the harbor in categories.

The steel warships near the front were the first governor-general and his generals to follow Yang Ming.

These elite soldiers who accompanied Yang Ming in his expeditions from east to west can be said to be heroes who have experienced hundreds of battles. Each of them has more or less scars on their bodies. Looking at the injuries on their bodies, you can know how tragic they have been through. During the war, you may have experienced the loss of arms and legs.

But fortunately, since the little human princess Manxili joined Yang Ming's command, the life potion extracted from her bath water has been fully distributed to the navy, saving the lives of many disabled soldiers, even if they suffered life-threatening injuries. , as long as he is sent back to the rear in time and receives personal treatment from the little human princess Manxili, he can recover as before.

Because of this, each of these elite soldiers who are directly under Yang Ming exudes a terrifying and evil aura, as if crawling out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​bones. Ordinary people standing in front of them would probably tremble with fear. trembling.

Some scientists once proposed a very interesting proposition, that is, magnetic field.

Magnetic fields are divided into natural magnetic fields, human body magnetic fields, and life magnetic fields.

These elite soldiers who have experienced bloody battles for a long time, the bloody aura permeating their bodies is a special life magnetic field, which will frighten creatures that are far less powerful than themselves. This is a bit like the function of the overlord's domineering aura, but Much inferior.

It can be said that the overlord's domineering energy is a very special magnetic field of life.

Among these elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles, they are divided into two groups.

A group of people were dressed in Iron Man Mark battle armor, and the whole body was covered with metal iron plates. The main color was red and silver, full of science fiction colors. Rows of soldiers stood there, giving people a strong visual impact, exuding in the sun Brilliant light.

The other batch is the legion of animal fruit ability users that Yang Ming has been secretly cultivating. Thanks to Caesar Courant's in-depth research on artificial devil fruits and Hulk serum, they are now able to mass produce artificial devil fruits. It can stably produce 20 artificial Devil Fruits every month.

Don’t think that producing 20 artificial devil fruits a month is not a lot.

You know, in this year, 240 artificial devil fruits can be produced.

If it takes ten years, 2,400 artificial devil fruits can be produced.

Although each artificial Devil Fruit is not comparable to the real Devil Fruit, it can still bring about earth-shaking changes to the soldiers after taking it. The animal type Devil Fruit gives them stronger bodies, more agile skills, and sharper nerves. and some additional special abilities.

Although there are less than a hundred people in the devil fruit ability user army, every one of them is carefully selected by Yang Ming from the army and is loyal to Yang Ming. Their employment history is clearly visible, which eliminates the possibility of spies from outside forces and guarantees It maintains the purity of the team and is the sharpest tip of the knife in Yang Ming's hand.

These soldiers did not maintain their human form, but showed their orc forms. Each of them was tall and had a streamlined figure. There were animal heads on their necks, and rows of sharp fangs were exposed between the bared teeth. A frightening smell.

Akainu General Sakaski and Aokiji General Kuzan stood side by side on the pier, watching such a grand military momentum, and they couldn't help but have expressions on their faces.

"I didn't expect that the marshal would hide so deeply!"

"Yeah, I originally thought that in this crusade against the Bigo Pirates, even if Lieutenant General Jonathan ran around to win over potential alliances, our navy, as the main force, would definitely be severely damaged afterwards. But now It seems that we are superficial!”

"With such a powerful army, it's just a matter of time to wipe out the Four Emperors!"

Even Admiral Akainu Sakaski, who had previously competed with Yang Ming for the position of Marshal of the Navy Headquarters, suddenly felt a sense of boldness and admiration in his heart.

They are soldiers who can climb from the grassroots to the navy headquarters step by step. They all have ideals and ambitions. No matter what methods they use, they all have the ambition to eliminate bandits in their hearts.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but recall what Yang Ming said when he took office as Marshal of the Navy Headquarters:

"I just want to clean up the four directions and protect a corner of the floating world!"

The one with the most complicated emotions among the people present was the Qing Pheasant General Kuzan.
