From Admiral to Gotei Thirteen

In the south windless zone, on the edge of an island, two huge warships are moored near the island.

On the island, a group of navy and a group of geological exploration experts are discussing something in front of a small hill.

In front of Diarmud was a cave excavated by exploration, with several mounds of earth piled up on the side.

He reached out and took out a piece of dark ore from the mound, pinched it, and asked a man dressed as a scholar on the side: “This is iron ore?” ”

The man said with some excitement: “Yes, Lord Lieutenant General, after our exploration and data analysis, the iron ore content of this island is extremely high, and the difficulty of mining is also very low, and there are even many open-pit mines…”

Diarmud nodded, then threw the iron ore in his hand on the mound on the side, and whispered: “It’s iron ore again…”

It is now the year 1502 of the Yuan Calendar, and in this almost two years of windless zone exploration, three islands with good iron ore content have been discovered, and this is the fourth.

To be honest, Diarmed was excited at first, but now, it’s a bit boring.

How is it iron ore again!?

“How nice it would be if there were a gold mine,” Diarmid complained.

As soon as his words fell, several geological prospectors around him all had a somewhat scornful expression.

Just kidding, if the gold mine really grabbed a lot so casually, then the gold or anything would have depreciated a long time ago.

Because gold mines are rare, gold is expensive!

Looking at their expressions, Diarmud smiled, reached out and patted them on the shoulder and said, “Keep up the good work.” ”

He also knows that this kind of thing, these people can’t be blamed, it’s a matter of luck.

On the headquarters side, he was very happy that he could find iron ore islands, after all, casting guns and guns, iron ore demand is very large.

In fact, Diarmid also knew some secrets.

That is the manufacture of armaments in the headquarters of the Navy, and all this time, the production is not very good.

Warships are basically outsourced to the capital of seven waters, and Diarmud has heard of this matter.

But what he didn’t expect was that even artillery, fortress guns, guns and ammunition, the navy only produces a small part, most of them, are allocated by the world government, and the world government is even more exaggerated, because of serious corruption, although there is mature manufacturing technology, and the technology is quite high-end, but they just don’t make it!

Alas, it is necessary to go out and buy, buy from the black market, carefully calculate, it is much more cost-effective than to build it yourself, and you can especially eat oil and water from it…

Diarmud knew that in the future, Doflamingo and Kaido would be black-market arms trafficking giants, and there was indeed a deal between the world government and them.

But he thought that it was only partial, but he thought that this was a big deal.

No wonder as soon as flamenco fell, the world government immediately panicked.

No way, you put the firearm in your hand and expect others to make it… Isn’t this limited by people?

Diarmud does not know whether the top of the world government is full of, this kind of stupid thing, they can do it?

But think about it, maybe the five old stars or something, should be able to foresee the harm of this kind of thing.

But you don’t have the power to change anything.

Many things, people with vision, know that they are wrong, but they can’t change the status quo…

Because these things often involve the whole body, they can only be boiled slowly.

However, if you stay up, maybe the soup is not boiled well, and the person who cooked the soup is already dead.

In Diarmud’s mind, as long as the five old stars are not fools, then they must hope that the big ship of the world government will get better and better, so that their rule will be stable.

Therefore, they probably also hope to crack down on corruption and high-ranking officials.

But the problem is that it’s hard to do… Now, in time for the chaos of the era of sea thieves, the giant ship of the world government can be said to be stormy and may fall apart and sink at any time.

However, none of this has anything to do with him for the time being, and he mainly has to pay attention to the situation in the Navy.

Within the navy, corruption is also quite serious, which is seen from the perspective of the entire naval group, such as the four seas navy with a large number of branches, almost everyone has greedy behavior.

Diarmud did not do this kind of thing back then.

Because in that environment, if you don’t do it, others will think that you are pretentious, they will be hostile to you, and they will start to rectify you.

People like Diarmud, who don’t have much discipline, naturally want to join them.

However, the branch belongs to the branch, and the four seas return to the four seas, and the naval headquarters is quite clear, and there has hardly been any corruption.

Perhaps most of the people who can come to the headquarters are righteous in their hearts, coupled with the influence of the general environment and the different supervision strength, naturally these chaos will be eliminated.

I heard that not long ago, the Warring States General had begun to dispatch officers from his headquarters to serve as inspection groups to various naval bases and branches to investigate corruption, and he was ready to kill a group of such arrogance.

This is a good thing, from a macro level, in fact, the higher the position, the more clear, and even many people are greedy all the way, but after reaching the high position, they began to become a clean official.

There are many reasons for this, but there is no need to discuss anything.

Of course, there will inevitably be those who do not have long eyes, and huge greed is often caught from this high-ranking crowd.

It is a good thing that the ministry’s side has purged corruption, but it still has little to do with Diarmud.

He now mainly wants to promote a mature system of self-manufacturing of munitions and warships on the headquarters side.

And the Warring States Congress and the Marshal of the Steel Bone are also very agreeable, but still that sentence, there is not enough money.

The emergence of iron ore has effectively alleviated the acuteness of this problem, and with the initial results of the development of the windless belt, the Warring States Congress and the marshal have become more optimistic and important about this matter.

I heard that Borusalino and Sakaski have been secretly reorganized into logistics arms manufacturing.

Once the later plan goes further, if it can open a gold mine or something, the Navy plans to build its own warships…

After walking around the island, Diarmid casually found a rock, and before he could speak, a naval lieutenant commander on the side handed over a water bottle.

Diarmid smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Virgo.” ”

That’s right, the lieutenant commander in front of him is none other than Virgo, one of the highest cadres of the Don Quixote family.

Diarmud never expected that Doflamingo’s bastard was so daring that he dared to stuff a spy for him here?

However, Diarmid did not debunk anything, and instead absorbed Virgo into his G-7.

This is also a good pawn, maybe you can arrange Doflamingo through this guy in the future.

Become a dark line between the two or something.

Although Virgo has followed Doflamingo for many years and is also the highest cadre, in fact, he has always been cultivated by Doflamingo as a ‘dark weapon’.

The purpose is to arrange for him to join some organization one day and become an undercover agent.

Therefore, even if he is a close confidant of Doflamingo, he does not have a reputation in the North Sea, and normally speaking, Diarmud should not know who he is.

This is also the reason why Doflamingo dared to send Virgo.

It is also a coincidence that after Doflamingo became a pirate, he decided to get Virgo into the navy, but he never had time to arrange the operation.

As a result, on the island of Gaja, he was beaten by Diarmud, insulted, and angry in his heart.

But he couldn’t help Diarmud.

Originally, he put up with this tone, and this matter passed for the time being, but not long after, he heard the news that the G-7 side was conscripting.

At this moment, he couldn’t hold back, and directly asked Virgo to apply and join Diarmud.

With Virgo’s potential, he may become a confidant of Diarmud in the future.

At that time, he conspired with Virgo inside and outside, and found an opportunity to clean up the bastard of Diarmud, and let out this evil breath in his heart.

Of course, with Doflamingo’s heart, naturally he would not send a henchman like Virgo to G-7 for such a simple reason as wanting to take revenge on Diarmud.

Although he hated and disliked Diarmud in his heart, Doflamingo was still very clear about the situation, and he understood very well that Diarmid was in the navy and would inevitably gain power!

He is now the only candidate for the general in the Navy, and the position of the general is actually missing one, maybe one day Diarmid will be promoted to general?

At that time, the people who follow him will inevitably get benefits.

Now let Virgo follow Diarmud, in the future Diarmud will be promoted to general or something, Virgo will successfully become the elite of the naval headquarters, or is it Diarmud’s concubine, if you want to be in a high position, obtain greater power and intelligence, isn’t it much simpler?

This is much more convenient than Virgo going out on his own and relying on the head iron to promote in the Navy.

Therefore, in Doflamingo’s view, both public and private, Virgo should be brought to Diarmud.

So Virgo came.

“You don’t have to be polite, Lord Lieutenant.” Virgo said very politely.

I have to say that before this guy showed his true face, he was indeed a standard excellent naval template, and if Diarmid didn’t know that this guy had a ghost, he might have been deceived by him.

In fact, leaving Virgo behind, Diarmud was also a little hesitant in his heart.

But in the end, it stayed.

G-7 hides a lot of secrets, Virgo, this undercover agent is here, of course, there is a possibility of intelligence leakage.

But fortunately, only Gion and Dauberman knew about the development plan of the windless belt, and although Virgo also felt that something was wrong, the news he got was that Diarmud wanted to make achievements for his own selfish interests and was engaged in these troublesome things.

Didn’t think much about it.

As for whether it will leak out in the future, it depends on how Diarmud arranges him.

Don’t worry about it for now.

What’s more, Doflamingo’s bastard was so disgusted with the world government and the Draco class that he wanted to eat their flesh raw and drink their blood.

Find a way to pull them all into the mud.

If he really found out that the Navy was doing something unfavorable to the world government, maybe this guy would not only not snitch, but on the contrary, help cover up.

Of course, with his personality, maybe he will use this as a blackmail to blackmail him Dirmud…

Alas, that’s even better, and I’m worried that I won’t have a chance to clean up that guy.

After taking a sip of water, Diarmid touched the long zen tiger hanging on his waist with some embarrassment, the scabbard was good, and the knife inside was still a broken knife.

Famous knives are hard to find, not to mention twenty-one workers, and after waiting for this year, I didn’t see the big staff officer and Stussy find any good knives for him.

As for Douglas Barrett, there is nothing to gain.

Rubbing the scabbard, Diarmid pretended to say: “Alas, pity my tiger cher, I don’t know when I will get another famous knife…”

After speaking, he drank again.

“I hinted so obviously, did you kid understand? If you understand, hurry up and find Doflamingo to get a famous knife to bribe me, otherwise you still want to be promoted and rich under me? Will it be human? Diarmid thought to himself.

Virgo on the side thought in his heart: “It seems that this guy Dillmud really likes famous knives, and he sighs about this in front of everyone, if he can get him a famous knife, maybe he will trust me more and cultivate me… However, even if I get the knife, how can I explain the source to him? ”
