Pirates: I’m afraid the world isn’t violent enough!

While Oltorun was silently thinking about this, Charlotte Lingling laughed again and said: "But since it is your need, then it is not that I can't satisfy you, mother. I will contact you again when you need it. My mother."

Soon, the two sides ended the call without much actual progress.

On the cake island, Perospero asked with some confusion: "Mom, why don't you agree to him directly?"

"Perospero, you can't treat Ortoron simply as my child. You have to treat him as an independent individual or even a force. If you agree to him too casually, It will appear as if I need him very much, and now, it is he who needs me." Charlotte Lingling said with a smile in her eyes.

After a slight pause in her tone, she continued: "But looking at it now, this child is still worth looking forward to..."

"G-5..." Charlotte Lingling murmured again as she ate her lunch, her eyes flashing with light from time to time, as if she was very interested in this special navy.

She and Ortorun had many things to cooperate with, but at the same time, she and Ortorun had many conflicts during these cooperations.

For example, in terms of dominance and leadership, she is not willing to bow to her son, but that son seems to be very stubborn and always wants to be the boss!

For example, right now, Charlotte Lingling is thinking, since G-5 is so special, can she try to use money, weapons and ammunition to try to suppress or even master the power in Altolen's hands?

But she also felt that Altorun might not give her this chance.

Chapter 119 Although I resell arms and trade warships, I am a good navy!

More than a month before Ortorun took office as the director of the G-5 base, he was basically cleaning up the mess of G-5. Just as he thought, the news that he had "agreed to layoffs" had just been released.

G-5's friends signed up enthusiastically, so that within a month and a half, Oltorun, the naval base commander, only had more than 600 people left.

The rest either went back to their hometowns to get married, or were transferred to other places to work in logistics.

What is the concept of more than 600 people? Even if Ortorun goes out, he can't even get a full warship together.

At this time, in the G-5 military port, Altoron was chatting with Katakuri, whom he had not seen for a long time.

That's right, Katakuri, he appeared in the navy base openly and openly, and no one cared about this situation in this place.

In the high-rise building of G-5 headquarters, Flying Squirrel and Yixiao were lying on the windows, curiously looking at the situation at the port.

"Charlotte Katakuri, the new generation leader of the Big Mom Pirates, has a bounty of 360 million beli. He just appeared in our navy base openly. Do you really have nothing to worry about? ?" Yixiao looked at the wanted poster in his hand, turned to the flying squirrel and asked.

"Smile." Flying Squirrel chewed a cigarette in his mouth and sighed in a mature manner: "As an old naval general who has served for many years, I can tell you that this situation is indeed illegal, but how do you say it? .. Our navy doesn’t always fight with pirates. There are also some people in it. Think about it for yourself. When General Sengoku sent Ortoron to G-5, did you ever think that these situations would happen? ?Now we G-5 are completely exhausted, and the headquarters cannot give us much support. We have to rely on ourselves for everything. If we don’t look for the Big Mom Pirates today, we will have to look for the Beast Pirates tomorrow. Or some evil party in the dark world..."

"Isn't this considered reselling arms? Selling our navy's resources to pirates?" Yixiao thought for a moment and then asked.

The flying squirrel pointed at the port and said: "Where are the resources of our navy? Aren't they all pirate ships? How can we call it reselling naval resources when we can't even see a single warship? Regardless of Katakuri's identity? Talk, we have found a second-hand recycler to recycle and reuse the discarded items in the G-5 Naval Base. While selling these useless items, it can also reduce our burden and enhance our Fund reserve!”

Yixiao looked at the flying squirrel with a surprised look and said, "Did Altolon teach you these?"

"That's right!" Flying Squirrel said matter-of-factly: "When he mentioned this plan to me at first, I thought it was inappropriate, but after thinking about it later, I felt that what he said made sense. Anyway, the middlemen who sold it to the Dark World The merchants were eventually sold to the pirates by them, so instead of doing this, we might as well sell it directly to the pirates, saving the middlemen from making a profit on us!"

At the same time, at the port, Altorun and Katakuri were wandering around the area where a large number of pirate warships were parked.

"Look at these ships. Basically, they can be put into use immediately, and they have been tested in wars. Those with poor performance and bad luck will definitely not be captured and will be directly captured by our navy. The warships were sunk, and those that can survive are all top-quality goods, you know, right?" Altorun promoted.

Katakuri looked at Ortoron with some humor, and said to him that when second-hand goods come to you, they can be turned into high-quality goods. This is really a good eloquence.

Speaking of which, this kind of small business... Yes, for Altoron, this business is already very big. It is the first foreign transaction during his tenure as the base commander, but for the Big Mom Pirates , this is just a small business, and there was no need for Katakuri to come forward at all.

But considering that he hadn't seen his younger brother for a long time, Katakuri had been busy recently, so after receiving Altorun's 'trade application', he took the initiative to meet with Altorun.

"If it weren't for the fact that they don't fit the image of our navy, I would really like to keep these fine warships. Unfortunately, I have no choice. Our navy can't go out with pirate ships to do things, right? So we can only sell them in exchange for funds. , but I can’t bear to sell these ships to outsiders, so I still look for you. If you own these ships, you will definitely be invincible. Next time you fight against foreign countries, if you can’t win, you can come to me. Send out the army to help you!!!" Altorun, who held 600 soldiers, said very proudly.

For those who didn’t know, I thought he really had 500,000 elite soldiers in his hands!

Katakuri looked a little amused at his brother's appearance, but on the surface he still asked seriously: "How many 'fine warships' do you have in total?"

"There are thirty-eight ships in total. This is a half-sale and half-giveaway. Isn't 50 million ships expensive?" Ortorun said as if you had taken advantage of him.

It’s not like Katakuri doesn’t understand the market. If he remembers correctly, the navy’s standard warships are manufactured in the capital of seven rivers and fall into the hands of the navy. The current market price is less than 80 million beli. , this guy Ortorun really has the nerve to ask for his second-hand pirate ship. He dares to ask him for 50 million beli for a second-hand pirate ship. What do you mean, half-sale and half-free?

"If you dare to sell the warships of your navy, I can take it from you for 100 million beli. I want as much as you want. But for this second-hand pirate ship, you want me to get 50 million beli. It's a bit expensive. Right?" Katakuri looked at Altorun with a funny expression.

Ortorun was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "You still have this habit? Then I will have these ships decorated and painted in the colors of our navy, and then I will paint the sails with justice and navy for you. It’s not impossible to sign...”

Isn't it just a warship? He can also make it now!

Katakuri's face twitched and he said, "I'm talking about your headquarters' standard warship!"

When Ortorun heard this, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a serious tone: "That thing... is a beheading business!"

There's nothing wrong with him reselling these captured pirate ships here. It's not just G-5 that does this. In fact, it's the same for navies everywhere. The headquarters has this kind of business, but most of them are sold directly to middlemen in the dark world. , in the end these middlemen will still sell these ships to pirates, and there are relatively few people like Ortolon who directly eliminate the middleman link... Yes, relatively few, but in fact, although There is no survey data, but Ortolen thinks there should be.

But if he sells the headquarters' standard warships here, he will definitely be the target of severe punishment. The headquarters cannot allow this trend to spread!

"So?" Katakuri asked disdainfully at Altoron's serious look.

"So I have to pay more!" Ortorun's philistine rubbed his hands and said: "Of course I can't sell you the standard warships of our headquarters openly, but how can I put it, every year we have to fight with foreign countries, with you This ferocious pirate fights to death, so some equipment will be damaged to some extent...these damaged equipment, the upper and lower limits of flexibility are very high..."

The warship took one shot and scratched the skin, but it was nothing serious. However, as the base commander, Ortorun still had the power to determine that it was dangerous. For the sake of the safety of his naval colleagues, it could not continue to serve. By then You can declare it scrapped directly.

It is impossible for the headquarters to bring back scrapped warships. It would be too time-consuming and labor-intensive. They are usually dismantled on site and the wood resources are recycled.

Then I bought a batch of similar lumber in the market, and then said that I would dismantle it, but actually resold it... Ahem, it's very reasonable and reasonable, right?

Just when Ortoron was selling these second-hand pirate ships to Katakuri, the phone bug in his pocket rang. He took it out and saw that it belonged to the Sengoku Admiral.

Ortorun didn't shy away from anything. He directly answered the phone and said, "General?"

"Are you busy?" The Warring States General asked naturally and normally.

"Well, I'm busy reselling battleships to my second brother." Altoron said matter-of-factly.

The Warring States general was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Altorun, you are still young, don't go further down the road of crime!"

"It's not a warship, it's a pirate ship in G-5's inventory. Speaking of general, I don't have any warships here. Have you received the application from Flying Squirrel? It's been more than a month! You can't think about it again. The horse is running away, but you don’t want the horse to eat grass, right?" Ortorun said in a very dissatisfied tone.

As soon as he heard that it was a pirate ship, the Warring States General breathed a sigh of relief and said directly without even asking, "I just want to tell you this, the application you asked Flying Squirrel to give is too exaggerated, fifty warships? Where can I get it for you? Where can I draw 50,000 elites for you? You have to make corrections for me, this one won’t pass the approval!”

"The forty-five ships? Thirty thousand elites?" Altoron hesitated and asked.

"Fifteen ships, five thousand mature soldiers who have experienced war, if you nod, I will sign immediately, otherwise you don't even think about it." The Warring States General said very forcefully.

"It's not impossible!" Ortorun immediately agreed: "But if you want to form a sharp knife force that can withstand the pressure, you yourself know that this amount is impossible, so if this headquarters cannot give me too much support, , I’ll run the head office myself? I’m afraid it’s a bit illegal in this way!”

"If you can get more than fifty thousand elites and fifty warships in G-5 without requiring support from the headquarters, even if you have illegal means, as long as you don't betray the navy or commit a felony, I will help you. Carry it!" The Warring States general said very domineeringly.

What's wrong with this department, which has nothing to gain, but can gain such strong combat effectiveness and take on some responsibilities? What's wrong with breaking the rules? It’s not like the Warring States generals didn’t know how to adapt!

Otherwise, just because Ortorun was dealing directly with the pirates here, according to the regulations of the Navy, he could go to the military court to speak as a suspect!

"Admiral, don't worry. Although I will resell arms and trade warships, I must be a good navy and have great loyalty!" Ortorun also quickly made a guarantee after hearing this!

Chapter 120 The confusing and sexy operation of the World Government!

After hanging up the phone, Ortorun looked at Katakuri and said, "Look, I have the general's authorization now, so why worry about G-5 not being happy?"

It can be said that Katakuri watched the entire conversation between Altorun and the Sengoku Admiral. To be honest, this conversation somewhat affected his judgment on the navy.

Wasn't the Warring States general of the Navy always known for his "uprightness"? Why is this the case privately?

"It seems that the Warring States general trusts you very much, Torun." Katakuri came back to his senses and said with emotion.

"That's because I have never done anything really out of line, nor have I disappointed him. Although many things are illegal on the surface, in fact, they are in a circle that everyone acquiesces to. As long as you don't go out of the circle, everything will be done." Operations can all be understood." Altorun smiled.

After a pause, Ortorun added: "Actually, these battleships don't have to be exchanged for money. I also need arms."

"Are you interested in our Totland arms?" Katakuri asked curiously.

"Yes, when I was at the headquarters, I also saw our navy's arms evaluation of your Totland. The technology is very advanced and the quality is very good..." Oltorun said.

Katakuri heard this and asked with some confusion: "Why does your navy want to test our Totland's arms?"

But after saying this, he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "You are evaluating the quality of our arms to judge our conventional combat effectiveness, right?"

"That's true on one hand." Ortorun nodded first, and then whispered: "There are also some situations. Although there is no news, I vaguely noticed some changes..."

"What's the change?" Katakuri lowered his voice and asked softly when he saw Altorun's mysterious look.

"You know, our navy's arms, military expenditures, etc. are all in the hands of the world government. Every quarter and year, they are rationed according to the navy's needs. In other words, our navy has no autonomy. Controlling the military production line, the scientific troops created by the Warring States Generals actually wanted to fight for power in this area at first, but in the end the world government only gave us research and development rights, not production rights..." Ortorun said.

This matter is not a secret, it is an 'open secret'. Everyone on the sea basically knows this situation, and this situation is also a kind of clamp and rein of the navy by the world government.

After Katakuri nodded, he asked, "What happened now?"

"There are some changes. Since the big incident in Rogge Town, the world's economic trend has been obviously declining. All kinds of commerce and finance have plummeted. There should be big problems in the financial situation on Mariejoia. In addition, they are very rotten and have a lot of moths inside. I have a good relationship with Porusalino from the Science Corps. When we chatted with phone bugs before, I heard him mention the military production on Mariegioa. The department seems to be preparing to cut the research and development funds for weapons and equipment and other conventional arms to alleviate the increasing economic pressure on the world government..." Ortorun said.

"What?" The Katakuri people were all stunned and asked in surprise: "Cutting down the research and development of their own weapons and equipment? Isn't that a waste of martial arts? As we all know, one of the reasons why the navy is so strong is because of you. The navy has been using the most advanced weapons and equipment and warships, but now that the world’s government is doing this, there will be endless consequences!”

To be honest, although Oltorun had foreseen this event very early, after all, in the original story, the world government basically relied on the arms business with Kaido to maintain various violent organizations under its command twenty years later. Weapon rationing, Doflamingo is the middleman in this business.

So as soon as Doflamingo fell in Dressrosa, the World Government immediately sent the CP agency to Wano Country to interview Kaido about the future arms business.

I am just afraid that there will be problems here, causing the logistics of violent organizations such as the Navy to be unable to keep up!

But no matter how you think about it, the operation of the World Government is extremely outrageous. Just like Katakuri said, it is completely abolishing martial arts and handing over the production of weapons and ammunition to outsiders. Once Kaido and the others If it is not sold, it is estimated that the Navy will lose its ammunition reserves in up to two years!

Will World Government be able to restart the production line within two years? And does it meet the needs of each of its agencies? If it cannot be satisfied, then the navy will lose these logistics rations, its combat effectiveness will definitely drop off a cliff, and the world government will also fall into weakness because of this. This is unreasonable no matter how you think about it, and the consequences will be endless, but the thing is This happened.

It can be seen from this that how far has the world government fallen during this period?

Now, signs of this have emerged. The first step is to cut off R&D funds, and then wait for them to get the goods from the pirates at a low price. They find that this saves money, and they do not have to invest huge R&D funds every year to upgrade. I'm afraid that this trend, given the current state of the world's government, is really unstoppable.

There may be many factors affecting this that Ortorun does not understand and cannot consider. For example, they are really under great financial pressure and must make choices among many necessary things, such as , is it to outsource weapons production, or to reduce the treatment of the Celestial Dragons and other great nobles?

In such an extreme choice situation, it seems that it is not incomprehensible that they finally chose to outsource weapons. After all, they are just pissed.

But these are not things that Altorun should consider.

After Katakuri pondered for a while, he suddenly looked at Oltorun and asked: "So your navy is now testing advanced weapons and equipment on the black market because you have a hunch that after this, it is very likely that it will not only be research and development, but also Production is going to be stopped? From now on, your navy’s weapons and equipment will be outsourced?”

"It sounds outrageous, but it is indeed a possibility, so I just wanted to say hello to you in advance. If the conditions there are suitable, we will start to expand the production line in the next few years. I may not know in the future. What about becoming an arms contractor for the world government?" Altorun reminded with a smile.

Because Kaido had Quinn in his hands, in the original story, he took the order from the World Government.

But now, that guy Caesar is also in the hands of the Big Mom Pirates. Although that guy is not as powerful as Quinn, he is indeed a top scientist in the development of weapons and ammunition. The Big Mom Pirates are fully equipped to compete with all beasts. The strength of the pirate group to compete for arms orders from the world government!

If this money is earned for Kaido, he will use it to open a zoo, but if it is earned for the Big Mom Pirates, it can be used to make Totland and the Kingdoms more prosperous.

Although the Totlan Kingdom is a pirate country, there are also thousands of people from the New World living in it. Considering this aspect, Altolan also feels that he is doing something with "immeasurable merit".

"Your news is very important. I will talk to my mother about it when I get back." Katakuri agreed with a serious expression.

In fact, even without this incident, the Big Mom Pirates have recently begun preparations to expand their arms production line. The reason is also very simple. The chaotic frenzy of the Big Pirate Era can now be seen by everyone, and the number of pirates is constantly increasing. , these people can't always go out and rob with harpoons, right?

If you want to get ahead, you can't avoid arms. It can be said that this market, combined with today's background, is very promising, so even if the weapons produced are not sold to the world's government, there are still many customers. Yes, there is no need to worry about unsalable products!

"Well, I'm telling you this just to cut out the middlemen again. You see, in the future, it may be possible for you to produce the weapons and sell them to the World Government, who will then distribute them to the Navy Headquarters. The Headquarters will Then send it to me, but I have many competitors, and all the major bases are waiting for support. It is impossible to give me too much, and others will not be willing to do so. Moreover, this is really too long in the middle. If we cooperate, then It's simple, I'll just get the money from G-5, and then get the goods directly from you, without the involvement of the world government at all, it's economical and affordable!" Ortorun said with a smile.

Katakuri heard this and was about to say that if you did this, wouldn't it be against the regulations of your navy?

But when he thought about the phone call between Ortorun and their own general just now, he felt that there was no need to remind him of this. The Navy is so pragmatic!

"Then let's settle it according to arms. If it's arms settlement, and considering the value of the news just now, it's very reasonable for me to settle this account with you for 50 million a ship..." Katakuri patted Oltorun's shoulder said.

In this way, within a month and a half of taking office as the commander of G-5 Base, Lieutenant General Ban reached a deal with the pirates to resell a batch of arms and warships!

This greatly makes up for the shortcomings of the current G-5 navy and enhances the combat effectiveness of the front-line navy. It is a just and good thing!

Chapter 121 Do you want me to drive a pirate ship and rob the navy’s warships?

In the G-5 base director's office, after seeing Katakuri off, Ortoron came back to rest.

When Flying Squirrel and Yixiao guy came to see Oltorun, they saw Oltorun lying on the sofa, singing a ditty he didn't know where he heard it from!

"I think back then, my team just opened~" Altorun was singing in high spirits when he saw Flying Squirrel and Yixiao pushing open the door and walking in.

He quickly sat up and said with some embarrassment and annoyance: "Why don't you say hello when you come in?"

"I've been knocking on the door for a long time, but you didn't hear it. You were singing so happily here that you might have ignored us." Flying Squirrel said confidently.

Before Ortorun could quibble, the flying squirrel asked curiously: "How's it going? Have you disposed of that batch of garbage?"

"What rubbish!? How can you describe those high-class warships that can still survive after fighting with our navy's warships!?" Ortorun said with a look of hatred: "Be careful with your wording, don't do it in the future That’s how to describe our product!”

"Okay, okay, have you sold that batch of high-quality goods?" Flying Squirrel said perfunctorily, not bothering to argue with Ortolen about these words.

Altorun shrugged and said: "Our Lord Ben takes both black and white, what do you think? Of course we sold them all. I exchanged all those rubbish... ahem, no, top-quality goods." It has become a weapon, and the channel dealers under the Big Mom Pirates will come to hand it over to us."

When he said this, Ortorun looked playful and smiling on the surface, but in fact, he was carefully observing the status of Flying Squirrel and Yixiao.

This time he openly called Katakuri to G-5 for the transaction, without avoiding anyone at all. In fact, it was also a test for Flying Squirrel and Yixiao.

Let's see if there is any 'room for mediation' in their justice. If Flying Squirrel and Yixiao both belong to the kind of people who can't rub any sand out of their eyes, they are upright and would rather be beaten to death than get involved with pirates. The iron-headed super-justice navy.

Ortorun would promise on the surface that he would never engage in such things in the future. Secretly, he could only bear the pain to associate the flying squirrel with Yixiaowang and call out G-5.
