Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 351 The Revolutionary Army Has Been Here

Quickly opening the Smart Message interface, the flying squirrel wanted to inform Sengoku that a revolutionary army had been brought aboard his ship!

But even after the words were typed, the flying squirrel became conflicted.

Because if Ning Yuan is arrested, Xi De will not be able to escape either.

West Germany has been with him for ten years!

Moreover, the flying squirrel still harbored a sliver of hope.

It's not that easy. Maybe West Germany was just a coincidence!

The other soldiers certainly wouldn't be so easily swayed by him!

Then, the flying squirrel watched as the second soldier began to recount his past.

He is from Beihai.

There is no mafia in Beihai, but there is a Germa 66 family.

Fortunately, this soldier has nothing to do with Germa 66.

But he joined the army because he was poor.

His poverty stemmed from a different cause than that of West Germany; his parents were still alive, but his father was seriously ill.

To pay for her father's medical treatment, his mother sold her farmland and their house, and in the end, the family survived by scavenging garbage from the streets.

If you're wondering why someone who lives on an island doesn't go out to sea to fish, then...

Their king said that the sea belongs to the king, and the fish in the sea naturally belong to the king as well. If you fish from the sea, it is robbing the king's wealth, which is a serious crime.

Their family was already struggling financially, but when things went wrong, his mother was attacked by pirates while out and about.

No one knows what happened, except that his mother's belly gradually grew bigger.

Ten months later, he had a younger sister.

Don't ask why I didn't abort the child. I couldn't afford the medical expenses, and the doctors in town didn't have the skills.

With an extra person in the family, life became even more difficult, to the point that the father had to force himself to beg on the streets despite his illness.

Until one day, a conscription team came to town.

In order to earn some resettlement fees and allowances, the soldier joined the navy and became a proud naval soldier.

It has been five years now.

To the flying squirrel, this situation was perfectly normal. Everyone has illnesses and misfortunes sometimes, and there are plenty of soldiers in the navy who are like this!

If it weren't for the need to be a soldier and earn a living, who would want to join the navy?

justice?

Stop joking. Who's acting in the name of justice? Justice is just something the higher-ups in the navy shout about.

Let alone a lowly marine, even a colonel like Smoker isn't qualified to talk about justice; that's something only admirals and vice admirals are qualified to discuss.

The navy below only needs to obey orders. Otherwise, what are you doing? You, a rear admiral and colonel, claim to be a lazy righteous person and then don't carry out your mission?

Even in this very common situation, Ning Yuan still managed to find a problem.

The soldier's family situation, seemingly caused by illness, was actually caused by his noble birth.

From an intuitive perspective, if it weren't for the nobleman's order, their family could at least catch fish to eat, right?

On a less visible level, small farmers have poor risk resistance; a single disease can force their entire family to sell their house and land, which is also due to the government's inaction.

First, the state has not prohibited land sales. If you do not issue an order to prohibit them, then you are encouraging land consolidation.

Secondly, farmers had no say and no power to set prices for their land, so the nobles could dictate the value of their land and houses, which meant they were being severely exploited.

There's a third one.

The soldier didn't say it, but Ning Yuan figured it out.

Ning Yuan believed that the nobleman who seized the soldiers' land and houses hadn't paid any money at all!

Because after the soldier moved out of his home, he immediately started sleeping under a bridge, and there was no process of taking his father to see a doctor.

Clearly, they didn't receive the money at all!

If it's not the nobles' fault, then who is?

Upon Ning Yuan's analysis, the soldiers' eyes turned red, and they even seemed eager to disembark and attack the nobles right then and there.

The way he looked at Ning Yuan was just like West Germany's – full of fervor and admiration!

Is this still an isolated case?

Soon, the flying squirrel saw the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth!

When the navy recruits, do they only recruit men from respectable families?

Bullshit, what can't a decent guy do? Go be a low-ranking navy officer?

A second-generation military officer?

It's even less likely that the children of military personnel will become junior naval officers.

They started out with access to Devil Fruits and guidance from renowned teachers.

As they grow up, they are given specially customized units and powerful naval forces to help them achieve merit.

Yun Que doesn't even know if he's an adult yet, but he's already a lieutenant colonel. That's the normal procedure!

It's impossible for all ordinary marines to come from impoverished backgrounds, but statistically speaking, at least 90% of them do!

What does it mean that 90% of marines come from impoverished backgrounds?

This means that after one meeting, nearly 250 of the 280 marines have begun to become closer to Ningyuan!

No, this is more than just closeness, it's absolute loyalty!

Even the flying squirrels had never seen them look at them like that before, but now that look was directed at Ning Yuan!

For some reason, the flying squirrel felt a little jealous. My soldiers, they're all my soldiers!

After the last marine finished talking about his background, Ning Yuan's gaze fell on the flying squirrel.

"Should I...should I say it too?" the flying squirrel asked cautiously.

"You can say whatever you want!" Ning Yuan said.

"Then I'd better not say anything!" The flying squirrel shook its head. "I understand your thoughts, but I can only say that you're being far too naive. The nobles of the East Sea, South Sea, and North Sea, the mafia of the West Sea—that's an enormous force. How difficult it would be to overthrow them!"

"What's more, behind them stands an even more terrifying giant: the World Government!"

"You see it very clearly, don't you!" Ning Yuan laughed.

"So what if I know!" Weasel chuckled. He was a vice admiral, not a brigadier general. He had participated in the Celestial Dragons' hunts.

But what good would it do to join? Leave the navy and start a revolution with Dragon?

"You have no idea how powerful the World Government is. Your actions are ultimately futile!" He didn't say anything more about Ning Yuan being a member of the Revolutionary Army, because Momonga was already certain that he was!

The flying squirrel even felt that Ningyuan's army was a more authentic revolutionary army than Dorag's!

At least in the past, he would wipe out any revolutionary army he saw on the spot.

But he actually came to approve of the man in front of him, and even wanted to follow him.

However, reason told the flying squirrel that Ning Yuan's imagination was simply unrealistic.

"Whether it's futile or not, we'll only know after trying!" Ning Yuan said calmly, "But I know that the justice you believe in will definitely not be obtained in the Navy!"

"But only in the Navy can justice be upheld with all our might!" the flying squirrel said calmly.

"The more you do, the bigger the mistake you make, because you're going in the wrong direction!" Ning Yuan retorted. "You're not upholding justice; you're aiding and abetting evil!"

The flying squirrel's identity was unusual; he was Zefa's disciple, so Ning Yuan was willing to say a few more words.

If it were someone else, he definitely wouldn't waste words.

The flying squirrel remained silent.

"I can understand what you people are thinking. You probably think that even the worst order is better than no order at all?" Ning Yuan said with a smile.

The flying squirrel was taken aback, then nodded, as if that were indeed the case.

Even if the justice and order I maintain are flawed, it's better than pirates running rampant!

"But I think that rather than watching this person slowly rot away, it's better to destroy it and rebuild it, bury it directly, and let new branches grow on top!"

The flying squirrel seemed to be deep in thought.

"The World Government has been able to reign supreme and commit evil for eight hundred years because there are too many people with your mindset. If everyone thought about change, upheld their own sense of justice, and rebelled against the World Government, or if the Age of Exploration had brought about another five hundred years, perhaps true justice would have arrived five hundred years ago!!"

"Impossible!" The flying squirrel shook its head firmly.

"Even if we fail, things will eventually change, won't they!" Ning Yuan laughed. "After the revolutionary army left, the kings who took their place were all incredibly kind. Was it a genuine change of heart? No, it was because the revolutionary army had been here!"

The flying squirrel fell completely silent.
