Pirates born to be kings

"Hey, did you know? His Majesty the King eats the same as us..biquge"

This sentence has recently become popular in the Drum Kingdom. The original origin is unknown, but after several confirmations,

My brother's brother took out the trash at Drum Castle, he told me.

My sister's husband's uncle was at the castle clearing snow, and I heard what he said.

Or maybe my child and the king’s pet Chopper’s next-door neighbor, the fur buyer on the edge of Labang Forest, have a great time with the puppy at the door, and the dog tells my child, etc. ‘reliable’ channels.

The reputation of Valpo, the former tyrant of the kingdom, is rapidly improving. The citizens seem to have completely forgotten how cruel the previous King Drum was. Instead, they are beginning to feel sorry for the king who has never eaten coarse bread or drank dried vegetable soup. They are afraid of him. It is to be wronged.

I didn’t expect that His Majesty would save money for us. We should work harder to repay His Majesty the King.

Everyone regarded the low-priced food brought by the Sausage and Wheat Merchants Association as yet another subsidy from the king.

They couldn't even imagine how much money His Majesty Valpo had paid for this batch of food.

Although Valpo didn't spend anything this time, his current situation didn't get better at all.

On the third day after Rhodes returned to the Sausage and Wheat Chamber of Commerce, low-priced food could only last for another half month. There was still three months until the next Chamber of Commerce fleet arrived. During this period of two and a half months, Over time, high-priced food will still flood the kingdom.

It has to be said that Cook and his group are really good at calculations. In two and a half months, Valpo could not completely deplete the treasury funds by buying high-priced food and thus hate the Chamber of Commerce, but also allow His Majesty the King to look at those Bailey was heartbroken by the huge amount of medicine that flew away, which made the next negotiation for the patent rights of the medicine bottle go smoother.

In fact, the huge sum of baili payments have not yet begun, and His Majesty the King is almost unable to bear it anymore.

It was still breakfast time, and there was no more laughter in the Ciggu Castle. Even the royal flag on the top of the tower seemed to be drooping listlessly, drifting with the wind.

"Jace, please pass me those two ham sausages and thank you." Cromali was emaciated and sallow, and he was chewing thick bread dully.

"What ham sausage? We haven't eaten meat for three months." Jess rubbed his eyes, while eating, he still didn't forget to look through the various documents and reports sent below.

"It's those two strips on your face, bastard, do you want to hide them?"

"Those are my lips. You little seaweed roll, quickly pull a few handfuls off and apologize to me!"

"Ah, it turns out they are lips..." Chromamon muttered, immersed in drinking vegetable soup.

Chopper and Dalton, the two 'herbivores', looked indifferent, especially Chopper, who even felt superior when eating coarse bread after adapting again.

After the little reindeer finished eating two pieces of thick bread, he looked at Valpo expectantly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty~ Chopper has finished eating, and I am the fastest again!"

"Ah, ah, good, good, fried chicken legs...ah, I mean Chopper, it's really awesome." Valpo's eyes lit up when he looked at Chopper, and the burnt yellow hair of the other person turned into a The crispy chicken drumsticks fried to golden brown look like, and when you think of the salty taste and the mouth-watering texture, saliva secretes in your metal mouth.

"Hey~hehe~~hehehe~~~Yeah, it's not that powerful~~" The 'fried chicken leg' twisted its waist and exuded amazing appeal! !

Valpo turned his head, not daring to look any further. He was afraid of doing something rude. As a result, he saw two shriveled sausages on the side, opening and closing to tempt him...

"Your Majesty, someone else said that they can solve the problem of the kingdom's food supply. You have met the person who asked to see you this time."

The sausage has become sperm! ! ! !

Valpo first thought this way, wondering if the sperm-made sausages taste good?

Then it wasn't until the sausage finished speaking that he realized that it was Jess who was speaking, and the pair of sausages were the thick lips of the chief of staff...

"Ah... let him do it then." Valpo took a deep breath, then gulped down the porridge, filling himself up with water. He missed the days when he could eat freely in his heart.

After breakfast time, Valpo and Jess came to the office, where two people were already waiting.

Just as Jace said, they were indeed people he had met before. In fact, Valpo was quite impressed by the two of them.

After all, the special metal he refined at Cigu Peak was the use discovered by these two people.

Different from the first meeting, Shep and Notts were in good spirits and dressed in new clothes.

The much-regarded submarine department has become a fragrant steamed bun. As the director, Xie Pu's face is glowing. The old man seems to have a second spring and becomes energetic. The only thing that remains unchanged is that his hands are still full of oil stains that cannot be washed away.

Valpo glanced at his hand and nodded silently.

Yes, he is a man of work.

Knotts looked at him with admiration. He was wearing a specially tailored leather jacket. It was not as close-fitting and attractive as those designed for women. Instead, it looked masculine and heroic. It was very similar to the combination of a jacket and a windbreaker on Earth. Somewhat Weird, yet surprisingly handsome.

The lucky guy who discovered Haiying was a little uneasy now. He glanced at Boss Xiep hesitantly, then looked at Valpo, moving his lips, and his expression of hesitation to speak could not be more obvious.

"Haha, just say what you want to say." Valpo shook his head. Before this guy came to see him, he must have been taught the rules by Shep again. He still remembered the funny scene when they first met. Recalling the time when he first arrived in the Drum Kingdom, His Majesty the King was filled with emotion, and even his worries about food were relieved a lot.

Notts said nothing and looked at Shep again.

The old man's face was red and his neck was thick. He was obviously very irritable, but in front of Valpo, he had to hold his voice and said in a low voice, "Just say what Your Majesty tells you to do. See what I do."

"Oh, oh, then...what did I say?" Knotts still looked at him.

'crunch'

The sound of Xie Pu's teeth clenching could be heard clearly.

"talk……"

"Oh, oh." Notts shrank his neck and finally said, "Your Majesty, actually... I... my... little, um... the submarine department has a solution for food."

"Huh?!" Valpo was shocked. When he heard the topic he was concerned about, he immediately sat up straight and said, "Say!"

He and Jess on the side looked at Notts with burning eyes, "If the method works, there will be a reward."

"We can fish." Knotts said matter-of-factly.

"Fishing? You know what you are talking about..." Valpo frowned. He knew that there were no fish schools near the Drum Kingdom, and they had no fishing boats. Even warships and merchant ships were just what they looked like on the design drawings. Construction hasn't started yet, so how can we catch fish?

Moreover, if you want to meet the food gap of the entire population, it cannot be solved by just a few fishing boats, not to mention that there are only a few people in the kingdom who can fish.

Is it possible to use diving...

wrong,

and many more……

An idea flashed through His Majesty's mind, and then it became clearer and clearer.

He looked at Jace aside, the chief of staff was thoughtful, "Submarine?"

Valpo nodded, a little excited, "Submarine!"

He looked at Notts to confirm again, "Do you want to say, use a submarine to fish?"

However, although the submarine may not be able to see because of the sea shadow metal, in many cases in the sea, it is not the eyes that rely on it, but the sound is the key.

He still remembered how noisy the surprise attack submarine was when it was operating at full capacity.

The school of fish will not just wait there stupidly.

Notts seemed confident, and the submarine department seemed to have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." He proudly handed over a document, "This is the latest research report of our Submarine Department. After testing a variety of materials, it was found that if the unique shampoo tree resin of the Champagne Islands is used, it can be smeared on the sea The exterior of the shadow can have a very good 'sound-absorbing' effect. The submarine we made with the sea shadow can be said to have become a sea killer that is truly invisible and inaudible in the sea!"

He paused and shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, due to technical and material limitations in terms of diving depth, we can only dive to 500 meters at most. Any deeper will endanger the hull. The latest model test can only Then maintain it at a depth of 800 meters for 2 minutes.”

As a technician, Knotts talked endlessly about his major, and he slowly recounted some important data.

Unfortunately Valpo had already been attracted to the idea of ​​submarine fishing.

An invisible and silent submarine used for fishing.

What a mind-blowing idea.

But, it seems...

feasible!

He could think of so many advantages to doing so.

Not afraid of wind and waves, the depth of 500 meters is enough to catch many fish at the ocean level, and the sea shadow is extremely concealable.

It’s as convenient as taking food directly from the ‘ocean warehouse’!

As long as submarine manufacturing can keep up, the food problem should be solved!

His Majesty the King didn't even have time to look through the documents, and directly interrupted Notz, who was still talking endlessly, "Very good, I would like to ask, do you have any difficulties that need to be solved when using submarines to fish?"

"Ah?" Shep and Notz looked at each other and nodded, "There are still some problems. Although our kingdom also has detection sonar technology, the development of submarines is not comprehensive enough, so I hope that your majesty can go to the sea = navy or the world The government applies for technical support in this area.”

"The other thing is that there is not a lot of resin in the shampoo tree. Currently it is only enough to coat the large Surprise. There is another submarine with a slightly smaller load capacity that is ready for use, and another one is expected to be able to dive in half a month." Xie Pu rubbed his hands. He added, "Of course, if there are more workers, the progress will be accelerated a lot."

"Very good, as long as submarine fishing can really be implemented, we will find ways to solve these problems!" Valpo stood up, and the depression in his heart was swept away. He seemed to see mountains of fresh fish in front of him, and his saliva was in the metal mouth again. Mi Man, he looked at Jace, "It's up to you to fully cooperate in this aspect."

The chief of staff's thick lips were almost closed with joy. He had no idea that the problems that had plagued the Drum Kingdom for many years would actually have hope of being solved in their hands, "Your Majesty, I obey."

Walbo breathed out, "This time you discovered how to eliminate submarine noise again?"

Notts nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell me what reward you want." His Majesty the King looked more and more pleased with Notts. First it was the sea shadow, and now it was the food supply. This guy was simply his lucky star.

"Reward..." Knotts looked at Shep habitually, and asked as if he was talking to himself, "Hey? What kind of reward do you want? Oh, what kind of reward do you want..."

The old man's face turned even redder, almost as red as a ripe tomato.

"Hahahaha, you guys." Valpo smiled happily and waved his hand, "Forget it, you go back and think about it. The reward promised by this king is always valid."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Both of them breathed a sigh of relief and left together.

After walking out of the door, His Majesty the King could vaguely hear Shep's roar, "Why do you always look at me! Why won't you answer His Majesty directly! You still want to marry my daughter like this..."

"Ouch! Ouch! Boss, don't hit the head, don't hit... I remembered it, I'm going to order more Baileys now, 300 million? No, no, 600 million?"

"Asshole! Come back! It's too late now!!"

Valpo listened to the noise of the fight fading away, and shook his head in amusement, "These two guys..."

"Dasji." His Majesty the King ordered, "We will start adding extra meals tonight. Well... no one has an extra fried chicken leg."

"As your majesty."

"Ah, by the way, prepare another one for your sister."

"This..." Dasji showed a rare panic, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Haha, it's okay. I'm happy today."
