Pirate: I only come here for three things!

The Draco world government is not an unbreakable alliance, never has been. If there is anything I have learned from living in the Warring States Period for so many years, it is that nobility and greed are by no means contradictory.

Today, the world government founded by 20 kings, the greatest political organization in the past five hundred years, looks like flowers, but underneath it is fire and lard. The navy's force and CIPHERPOL's all-pervasive intelligence work serve as a strong lid to suppress the noise and boiling.

Some people don't understand, isn't it just a Celestial Dragon's wife trapped in Wano? As for creating such a big battle?

For unity.

Kennedy understood that only when conflict breaks out can the navy, the large and small franchising kings, the Draconians, and all kinds of strange forces be united. In human terms, only the oil and water leaking from Wano Country can lubricate this great machine that is almost rusty and not functioning properly.

The trip to Wano must be a military achievement, right? This united the military forces headed by the navy. We go this time to maintain the face of your Tianlong people, right? The Tianlong people naturally fully support this action. And by bullying Wano, a half-dead country that was once a regional power, it can show its deterrence and make each king move closer to the World Government out of fear. The profits extracted from him and the new trade agreement are even more exciting for the free capital on the sea.

As a result, the world's governments are now united under Kennedy's banner as never before.

At the same time, as the world government gradually gained the brilliance of the "World Beacon", the entire organization seemed to be beginning to have smooth policies again.

The situation gradually improved, but Seng Guo's mood became increasingly heavy.

It was all right, Kennedy's prediction came true to a fault.

The enemies of the World Government are not outside, they are on the navy's warships, in the World Conference, and in the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons.

Warspite marches into Wano, with the intention of targeting various participating countries. To force them to make concessions.

When it was confirmed that the World Government could indeed send a ship to seek justice for the wife of a Celestial Dragon, the world's public opinion still completely swung to the side of the World Government. Times have changed again.

Dear kings, you don’t want to see the wife of the Celestial Dragon being killed in your country, right?

If it can be done this time, why not in the future? If the kings do not accept this fact, they will either withdraw from the World Government and argue with others, or they will accept the normalization of such emergencies from now on, recognize the long-arm jurisdiction of the World Government, and admit that national laws will not work in the World Government Celestial Dragons. .

The Celestial Dragons are above all else and have never been so vocal.

Is it reasonable to send a warship to another country’s territory for the sake of a citizen of another country? unreasonable. But that’s what the world government does.

The human rights and cost issues on the table are just superficial, and what is reflected behind them is the habitual shamelessness of world governments. Anyway, I have big fists, so I have a loud voice. Kings of the participating countries, what can you do to me?

At the same time, the pressure on Wano has caused the overall situation to change, with one link loosening and the next link loosening.

Kennedy, you are one of our own in the world government, that's great, we support you coming back and maybe sitting in that position.

But this is not enough.

But the chaos before departure really brought the core components of the world government to a climax.

Logically speaking, although Kennedy is the Minister of Military Affairs, he can theoretically control all positions such as the Navy and the Army. His identity is still in Kong, above Warring States and others. But that's theory. And it was precisely because of this theory that the preliminary opinions and guidance documents he had been holding back for several years regarding the World Government Headquarters and recruiting troops from all over the world caused a storm.

The article is rambling, but the core idea is actually one thing: the Navy will recruit people from races other than humans and from allied countries on a large scale. From now on, the number of personnel in the core land of the World Government will be equal to the total composition of other parts.

Kennedy! We firmly support you. The World Government will be invincible before the blood of the affiliated countries and those alien races is drained!

That's nonsense. It doesn't matter who joins the navy, but who does one work for? Anyway, they eat the world government’s money and use the world government’s military supplies. Not only was the navy itself indifferent, it also successfully completed the military expansion plan that the Warring States Period had been thinking about for a long time. As for the last link, the kings whose youthful strength was extracted?

See that Warspite?

So although this order was illegal in theory and not in compliance with the rules in practice, it actually started running.

Warring States was shocked, and relied on Kennedy's latest help to provide a new version of the plan, which was the military expansion plan he had in mind.

Of course, he needed to listen to some people's opinions before officially submitting it.

First, he invited the whip of Kennedy's party, the Glory Party.

Under the parliamentary system of the World Government, the Glory Party, which represents the interests of the Celestial Dragons, and the Reform Party, which represents the interests of the kings, are basically fighting over each other. The two factions fight in parliament without breaking up, and are indulged in the noise of the zoo every day. Sometimes the Glory Party supported by the Draconians prevailed, and sometimes it was the other way around.

Of course, it is not without accidents. In the past, there were individual Tianlong people who supported the Reform Party, and the number of kings who supported the Glory Party was not a small number at any time.

As the whip of the Glory Party, his main responsibility is to unify the opinions within the party. To speak people's words is to shout at the top, so that the members of the Glory Party below can unite and fight less, and at least help their own people. It was the task that Kennedy pushed forward and then fought with each other.

"Mr. Party Leader, what do you think of this new plan?"

Warring States asked whether the plan could be approved in the end.

"Oh, you know, the Celestial Dragons of the World Government are all very enterprising guys, but in any case, your plan is still too obvious."

Garp sat next to the two of them and acted as translator. "The birdman opposite said that the Celestial Dragons are idiots, but they can still count, and thinks that the new plan you wrote is a piece of shit."

"Shut up, Cap. Get out."

The two continued their discussions.

Sengoku is a realist. He knows that many of his ideas are indeed difficult to realize. The core territory of the World Government is actually only a small amount of land. Although the franchising countries account for half of the country, they are franchising countries, not the world government.

Putting aside those other things, the world government is actually in a four-war situation. The door from the New World to the Grand Line, the door to the Grand Line...

In fact, with such a small scale, if you want to be strong, in addition to self-development, you must absorb the blood of the participating countries.

If it is not strong enough, the navy and world government may cease to exist in the future. The pirates can lose ten thousand times, but the golden lion cannot defeat your rule. I, the white beard, will follow. But if the Navy loses once, the most basic order will completely cease to exist.

The geographical location of the core territory of the World Government is a huge bonus in peaceful times, but in the era of great pirates opened by Roger, it is a fatal disaster. Looking around, there are tigers and wolves everywhere. The four seas, the new world, and the Grand Line will never be the same. There is a lack of careerists who want the world government to collapse.

"The temperament of Tianlong people always likes to be conciliatory. If you tell them that this room is too dark and a window needs to be opened, they will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the window, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the window. ”

The party leader nodded, finally understanding what Warring States meant.

First, an impossible condition is put forward.

Then settle for the next best thing.

So the next day, the party leader took the newly written plan of the Warring States Period and went to the parliament to give a speech.

The issue itself did not cause any waves. After all, if the House of Commons could unanimously agree, it would not be called a zoo. But this clearly represents an attitude, with the shadow of the actions of military bosses behind it.

So soon, the person responsible for the Tianlong people came to discuss with the Warring States Period.

"There is absolutely no way the Celestial Dragons will accept this rude plan."

The messenger was wearing a black suit and was the valet of the Five Old Stars. His words can represent the opinions of the Five Old Stars.

Sengoku said straight to the point: "I do think there is something wrong with the previous plan. The expenditure on the navy alone will account for 60% of the world government's total economy. This cannot be justified in any case."

He took out a new plan from the drawer, which read "World Government Naval Reform Plan Version 3.25".

"So, I prepared a new plan."

The Warring States Period placed this new plan in front of the envoy.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, we will increase our military investment little by little. The Tianlong people will ensure that you continue to grow stronger, but for now, you still need to be patient. The war in the South China Sea, Kennedy's visit, and the counterattacks of the kings of the participating countries, we We are facing countless troubles now.”

"Besides, with the world government's current bullshit financial situation, the navy's military expenditures already account for 40% of the world government's total financial expenditures!"

Warring States took a sip of tea leisurely, and then said: "I understand your concerns, in fact, I also understand your difficulties, but no matter what, please take a look at my newly proposed military reform plan. "

So the messenger opened the document bag, feeling great sadness and great joy.

"It's a good life, but it kind of sucks."

This new plan of the Warring States Period simultaneously satisfied the need to increase military investment and reduce military spending. According to this plan of the Warring States Period, next year's military expenditure will account for a very different share of the world's government financial expenditures. The Warring States Period required increased investment in various new equipment, increased subsidies for the Navy's grassroots level, replaced the Navy with new weapons, and increased the supply of training ammunition. This version of the plan is all involved, and they are all expensive.

The military wants to increase military spending, okay. But the military expenditures on the accounts have been reduced.

Military investment funds were transferred to the accounts of the Ministry of Industry. The reason is that military industrial enterprises are also industries.

Costs for new construction, expansion, and maintenance of barracks are transferred to the budget list of the construction department. The reason is that the coordination, design, and construction of military buildings are also part of the infrastructure expenditure.

The Ministry of Finance will be responsible for the payment of salaries and allowances to military personnel. The reason is that although they are members of the military, they work in your world government agency, and it is your job to pay them wages.

The ownership of the military academy was transferred to the science and education department, and all office equipment expenses were included in the funds of the science and education department. After all, military education is also education and must be managed by your financial department.

Many trivial things have been removed from military expenditures. The envoy looked at the Warring States Period as if he saw a ghost. In fact, this plan was a petition prepared by Duanmu and Kennedy on the ship and spread to the Warring States Period through an encrypted phone bug. The Warring States Period was just the tool responsible for delivering documents.

In fact, the money invested in the military industry is relatively large, but the latter items actually do not have much money.

But a little adds up.

On paper, military spending has dropped significantly, but in fact, investment in the military has not dropped at all, but has also increased a lot.

The final result is——

"The proportion of military expenditure has been reduced from 28% to % of total fiscal expenditure?!!!"

This is the first time in the past twenty years that naval military expenditure has dropped below 30%.

The envoy repeatedly looked over the plan submitted by the Warring States Period, and said it was okay. After all, military expenditures had indeed been reduced. To put it bluntly, the Navy actually received more money.

"I will give this plan to a few adults first, but there must be smart people among the civil servants who can see the flaws in the military expenditure reform. What are you going to do then?"

Sengoku recalled Kennedy's statement and responded: "They would agree."

"Even if every congressman saw through it, they would agree."

It seems that this hidden military expenditure dispersed among various departments is in the hands of the Navy. But the money on the books of various departments has indeed increased.

Put a piece of meat in a safe, take it out, and give it back. What will you have on hand?

Oil and water.

Although the political system of the World Government has been in operation for more than five hundred years, this does not mean that this system is advanced and reasonable. It can only be said that this political system meets the needs of the current national conditions, nothing more.

In fact, in the world government, there are few people who do real things and many people who take advantage of the situation. Many people in the United Nations, while offering gold from heaven, will also send their sons to join the world government to make money. It seems to be a left-hand reverse right-hand operation. But in fact, for many kingdoms, the money collected in this way is almost equivalent to the taxes they collect from their citizens.

Although the tax collection systems of many franchised countries are corrupt, as long as the customs are in the hands of the world government, they will always have safe and reliable money.

In other words, the top civil servants are basically the black gloves used by various countries to seize the opportunity. It is precisely because of these "pillars" sent by each country that the stability of the franchised countries and the continuous and stable supply of talents are ensured.

How slow is the world government in cultivating a capable person on its own?

It is better to gather talents from franchise countries like this.

Make money? The world government has no shortage of worms like you!

The envoy had already anticipated how happy those well-dressed beasts would be when they saw the newly increased budget.
