Pirates: This navy is too stable

After a busy morning, Lin frowned while looking at the notebook.

There are really too many things that need to be modified on this warship. If the modification is really carried out according to the best modification plan, Linn estimates that he will go bankrupt.

"The money spent on modifications can buy a few of these broken boats, but this plan won't work."

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone bug started chirping.

"Hey, okay, um, I'll be right over."

Lin hung up the phone and glanced at the top of the branch. Unexpectedly, it was Lieutenant General Terrence calling.

"From his tone, it seems there is something important. Let's go and take a look."

Linn put down his notebook and got up to go to the branch.

The military port is still very lively. Like other ports, the military port also has a large number of merchants.

But they don't sell items, they sell various firearms, swords, and some strange equipment.

Linn once even saw a devil fruit seller.

Of course, their business scope is still some distance from where the warships are parked, and there are a lot of guards on duty.

As for why Terrence allowed them to do business here, Linn couldn't figure it out.

"Sell the gun. Sell the gun. The legendary gun that defeated the Cross Pirates! It's not expensive and easy to use!"

"Oh, brother, your gun is rusty. Are you sure you defeated Cross?"

"Hey, this big brother has a keen eye for pearls. Come and take a look. This rusty man has a lot of tricks up his sleeve..."

"The secret book for practicing the Sixth Form of the Navy, the true biography of the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp!"

"The best Neptune meat. Smell it to strengthen your body. Eat a piece and you will be as brave as a god."

"........"

Lin En walked through the market, and the sound of hawking could be heard all the time, giving it a very market-like atmosphere.

There are also a large number of sailors who choose their favorite weapons here, but there are more complaints than purchases.

Because the merchants are residents of surrounding islands and towns, their supply of goods is not exquisite, so there are a large number of inferior products.

But there are always sailors who find good things among these rags, which is also the magical aspect of the market.

Lin En suspected that someone had tampered with it. Whenever the market's reputation collapsed, some good products would always emerge to bring back the market's popularity.

In order to find good things, the sailors would go to the market again to buy.

Just like this, a market with 90.00% junk goods can still last for a long time, and the vendors can still make money.

Thinking about it, Linn had already walked through the market, crossed the branch avenue, and arrived at the steps of the branch building.

The G9 branch building is not as grand as other branch buildings, and its appearance is in bad shape. I don’t know how many years ago it was last painted.

There were very few stairs. After walking 10 steps, we arrived at the hall. There was no one else in the hall except the two navy men standing guard. There were no decorations and it looked very empty.

The most outrageous thing is that the ten-story building doesn't even have an elevator.

According to Lieutenant General Terrence, "You are all soldiers, can't you even climb ten flights of stairs? Even I, an old man in his 70s, can climb it!"

So Lin En could only climb to the tenth floor step by step.

Although the tenth floor is not high, the branch building is located at the highest point of the military port, so the field of view is extremely wide and you can see every part of the military port.

"Coming?" Mr. Terrence stood in the corridor with a pot of tea and looked down at the military port.

"Old man, why don't you install an elevator in the branch? You can't handle going up and down the stairs like this," Lin En complained.

"Hahaha." Terrence laughed after hearing this, "It is relatively easy to climb the stairs. Now let's stop talking about it and talk to you about some serious business."

"You say."

As Linn spoke, he strode to Terrence's side, leaned down and took a sip of the teacup in Terrence's hand.

"Hmm! The tea smells so good."

"I want to drink tea, but I didn't drink it for you." Terrence said and handed the tea cup to Linn, "But you must listen to me and don't run away. This matter is very important!"

Linn glanced at Terrence. The old man looked very calm today, without his usual angry aura.

But the more this happens, the more things happen. I have worked with the old man for two years, and I still don’t know his habits.

It made Linn a little nervous.

"I heard that you promised Tsuru to help Gion carry out his mission?"

"Yes."

"I also gave you a military expenditure of [-] million beli."

Lin En raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea silently, and then thought about whether to tell the truth, because this old guy often cheated money from him.

"Stop hiding it, it won't be confiscated this time." Terrence said helplessly.

"Really?"

"real."

"Well, Lieutenant General He did give me [-] million, but it was just to increase my equipment."

"That's good, then I don't need to give you any extra money for this mission."

"More money?" Lin En heard other meanings from this sentence.

"Old man, is there any new situation when you called me here this time?" Lin En asked immediately.

Terrence nodded, "After you rejected Gion that night, I invited a team of professional investigators from my headquarters. Now that I have obtained some intelligence, the situation is a bit serious."

Seeing that Lin didn't speak, Terrence continued: "The first impression given by this wave of pirates is that there is only one group of people. However, after our analysis and comparison of the injured people and various information, we came to the conclusion that this wave of pirates There are at least 6 groups!”

"Six groups of people!?" Lin En was very surprised. The difficulty soon skyrocketed.

"Yes, if there was only one group of pirates, the officers would not be injured so frequently. And it is precisely because they have many companions that they can inform each other about the location of the navy, so that they can take action against the lone navy."

"This also explains why the other party can frequently escape from our high-level combat forces. It is not only because their ships are fast, but also because they commit crimes in a group, with intelligence exchange and every move of the navy is clear."

"Then we can't ask for help from our headquarters and send people to encircle and suppress them?"

Terrence shook his head, "The war between Golden Lion and Roger is not over yet. A large number of elites have been transferred to the new world and have no time to take care of the branch."

"So this time we can only solve it ourselves. The most important thing is that Major General Bruno and I have also been notified that we will leave for the New World in the afternoon."

"I'm very worried about this place."

"You want to go too!"

To be honest, now that the navy is heading to the new world, Linn feels a little itchy. If he can witness the battle between the Golden Lion and Roger, it will be in vain as a naval fan.

But even if you want to go to war to maintain peace in the new world, it is too dangerous and goes against the belief of safety.

"Yeah, Bruno and I are going too, so I'm worried about the branch. Look at how prosperous the military port is and how many people support their families by working here."

"Whether they are sailors, traders, or fishermen, they are all ordinary residents in this age of pirates."

"In order to have a bite to eat and support their families, they work early in the morning and come back late, fighting on the front line regardless of their own risks. All they need is to be able to live here stably."

"So Linn, can you bear to let them be displaced?"

Terrence's face was filled with sadness.

"Huh?" Lin En felt that something was wrong the more he listened, and the topic seemed to be getting more and more off-topic.

"What... does this have any... direct connection with me?" Linn said warily, fearing that Terrence, an old man, would lead him into a trap.

"Of course! More than half of the officers of G9 are seriously injured. The remaining colonels and lieutenant colonels are now exhausted, and the other side can still avoid them. If we leave and G9 does not have high combat effectiveness, I don't know how things will develop. .”

"It is very likely that when I come back, the G9 military port will no longer be as prosperous as this."

"The residents who have finally settled here will also lose their homes."

Terrence looked down at the military port and said with emotion.

Linn's face twisted into a twist. Is Terrence confused?What are you talking about...

"Lynn, when I tell you this, I actually want to tell you that the fate of G9 lies in your and Gion's hands."

"!!!"

Lin En didn't understand how the fate of G9 was in his hands while drinking tea!

Terrence, are you confused? !
