King Snake General of Pirates

Chapter 32 The evil hidden in the hearts of the nobles

Hal knew everything about Valentin and Renove's secret struggle for fame and fortune, and he could probably guess more or less of it. However, regardless of fame or profit, these things had nothing to do with him.

So he reiterated the thoughts he had said to Valentine yesterday, and at the same time, Hal added a little more:

"The number of security forces under your command is more than ten times greater than that of our navy. If you follow this method and search for traces of pirates separately at a certain distance, the search area can be spread to the entire Western Military Region. By then, it will be easier to find the burial place of the pirates. easy."

"It doesn't matter even if they are defeated. The security forces don't need to catch them at all. They just need to force the pirates back into the city. Once our navy arrives, they can all be captured."

"Okay, okay, okay." Renulf said three "ok" words in a row and clapped a few more times. Valentine thought he agreed with Hal's idea and was willing to send troops.

Unexpectedly, Renaf suddenly said: "The method is very good, but you have ignored one problem."

Hearing this, Hal and Valentine both looked at him.

He rubbed his smooth head with both hands, feeling exhausted as if he had wasted all his thoughts. He squeezed his cheeks from top to bottom and felt a little more energetic. He said calmly:

"In addition to the pirates you let go in the Western Military Region, there are also refugees, thugs, criminals, bandits, gangsters...etc., have you included these people before considering this issue? These people are wandering on the edge of the government order. People will not honestly think that I am deploying troops in a big way just to catch pirates. They will have an impact on the method you mentioned, and the lives of my subordinates will be in danger after the personnel are dispersed."

Hearing this, Hal fell into silence.

Valentin turned his head and glanced at Hal, his eyes gradually became colder, and he was surprised in his heart that Renaf, who seemed casual and unambitious on the surface, could be so thoughtful.

Really unbelievable.

Valentin immediately looked at Renaf calmly and said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want to do?"

Reinulf did not answer immediately. He glanced at the two of them with a half-smile. He tilted his head with his right hand and tapped his cheek with his fingers, as if he was having trouble deciding on this question.

After thinking for a while, he said maliciously: "If the guns and ammunition in your naval base can be lent to my subordinates, I think with the weapons, the soldiers will have the confidence to fight with others."

"Impossible!" Valentine shouted categorically.

What a good Reno, who dared to draw the attention of naval weapons.

You must know that the Navy is the overlord of the sea. Porusalino Kizaru, one of the three generals of the Navy Headquarters, also commands the Naval Science Corps and specializes in the research of advanced content in weapons, mechas, etc. This shows how far the Navy's weapons are ahead of other forces.

Even the branch is still far ahead of other forces in terms of weapons.

The resources of the Western Military District of the Kingdom of Androser are poor. Most people, including the security forces, use swords and very few firearms. It is no wonder that Reinulf wants weapons from the navy.

Valentin's unhesitating and firm answer also made Renaf understand that there was absolutely no room for negotiation in lending weapons.

"It seems we have nothing to talk about. In that case, let's go our separate ways." Valentine snorted coldly. We had already talked about this non-negotiable issue, and any more conversations after that would be meaningless.

He had reached the end of his patience with Renaff, so he stood up and walked out the door.

Hal said nothing and followed immediately.

"Wait a minute." Reinoff suddenly stopped the two of them. He stood up and looked at Hal for the first time and said, "Major Hal, please stay. I have something else I want to talk to you about."

"If it's about weapons, I don't think there's any need to talk about it anymore." Hal said without looking back.

Renaff shook his head: "Of course not."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of staying, Valentine himself was unwilling to stay here any longer, so he said to Hal: "Don't waste too much time."

After there were only two people left in the living room, Hal returned to the sofa and sat down, staring at the man opposite him with a dull gaze.

At this time, Renaff suddenly changed from his previous casual look. He straightened his waist and sat upright. His eyes were full of guilt, and a kind smile appeared on his face, but it seemed to be a forced smile in Hal's eyes.

"Major Hal, I have been in charge of the Western Military Region for many years, and I have heard a lot of rumors about you. I guess what you just said was not your original intention."

"The commander-in-chief deliberately kept me here just to confirm this with me?" Hal smiled slightly.

"I know that you are different from other marines in the 53rd branch. You will not let this identity become a shackles for you. You will help those who are oppressed and bullied."

Renaff said seriously: "Everyone knows the chaos in the Western Military Region. As the commander here, facing such a huge lawless land, it's not that I don't want to govern it, but I feel powerless. First of all, the weapons of the security army are too poor. There’s no way to fight the criminals.”

He was afraid that Hal would think that he wanted weapons from the navy again, so he quickly explained: "I have no intention of wanting weapons anymore, don't worry."

Seeing that Hal had no reaction, he continued: "The second reason is that the Western Military Region has become like this. It is because all the refugees from the other three military regions have been driven here. Over a long period of time, as mentioned before, all kinds of people cannot live. The people who went down have degenerated into criminals, and their number even exceeds the number of soldiers in our army. Some of the gangs and thugs even have guns and other weapons, and I can't do anything about it."

"Could it be that such a large area of ​​town is in chaos, and the king of the Kingdom of Androsser actually ignores it? Or maybe you haven't reported the reason at all." Hal thought of his childhood, when the Western Military Region was already what it is now.

Renaff smiled bitterly: "Why haven't you reported it? You don't understand the noble titles in this world and how much vanity they bring to people... I was once one of the nobles, and I have a deep understanding of this. If the nobles and the people at the bottom If there are only ordinary people among them, this sense of vanity will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, if ordinary people become more ordinary, the status of aristocrats will appear more noble, which can satisfy this vanity to the maximum extent."

"So the noble ministers suppressed the key to the problem and did not reach the king's ears. They were unwilling to solve this problem. In the eyes of these people, only [-]% of the people are nobles and [-]% are civilians, and the rest are The poor are the best, so that they will be satisfied, making the mediocre poorer and the rich more expensive.”

Hearing this, Hal was silent again. He had not considered this aspect before. After all, he had always been at the bottom and had no contact with the life of the upper class, so naturally he could not empathize with it.

Now that he heard Renulf's words, he had a new understanding of the social class of the Kingdom of Androser.

About the evil in the hearts of nobles.

"What can I, a navy, change? This is an internal matter for the subjects of your kingdom." Hal's face remained calm. Reinulf's current attitude had changed too much from before, which made him a little wary.

"King Andrag asked me to lead this operation to capture the pirates. This is the best opportunity. With the addition of your powerful naval soldiers and weapons, coupled with the maintenance of order by the security army, we only need to clear out Loose criminals, if your navy gets rid of the biggest gangsters, the Western Military District can return to my governance."

Renulf suddenly became very excited.

At this time, Hal finally knew what Renaf was planning.

Rely on the power of the navy to kill the larger forces, and then use the huge number of security forces to gradually eat away at the smaller forces. Step by step, you can finally completely control the entire Western Military Region and truly take all the Western Military Region into your own hands.

Perhaps this is why Reinulf only wants to talk to himself.

After all, Valentine and other marines abide by the responsibilities brought by their status and will not interfere with the affairs between gangsters and ordinary people, but it is different for him who is rumored to be jealous of evil.

He was betting that he would agree.
