Codex Pirates

Chapter 362 Star Wars Project

San Marie Gioia.

The scar-faced old man who had been staring at the cane all the time seemed to come back to his senses after hearing the words train network, turned his head to look at Dampier, and said: "It seems that you deliberately took the seven water capital The ship here is to prove that you have the connections and capabilities to participate in the construction of sea trains, Espagu, I remember the inventor of the sea train, and the disciple of Tom the Murloc."

"However," he went on, "the sea train is a great invention, with the potential to change the way people live, but it's not going to be easy to spread."

The benefits of sea trains are actually well understood by the world government. After all, there are only a few train tracks in the world today, and one of them is laid on Judicial Island under the world government.

This convenient and fast means of transportation can expand the actual control scope of the government, reduce administrative costs, and the trains running on the track are also better supervised than the free-wheeling ships on the sea.

If possible, the world government would of course also want to spread sea train tracks all over the place. In fact, if William did not appear, according to the progress of the original book, when Akainu became the admiral of the navy and put the focus of naval operations on the new world, the government would start Trying to build a sea train on the island where the New World Naval Base is located.

However, compared with the train network proposed by Dampier, it is more like a small fight.

There are many practical factors that constrain the world government from doing so.

On the one hand, the world government is just a coalition government, not a unified country. Although it has the leadership in the military, it does not often dictate the policies of the member countries. If the sea train is to be promoted, it needs to connect multiple countries and Cities, in view of the customs of different countries, the different abilities and personalities of the kings, and the disputes over interests after the opening of the train, are destined to require a lot of wrangling, which is a big trouble.

But as long as these world governments want to manage, there is always a solution. What worries Wu Laoxing most is whether the world government can manage it well if it wants to manage it.

The last major project led by the world government was the bridge kingdom "Tecchila Wolf". It took seven hundred years to build, and there is still no dawn of traffic. The government has spent countless manpower and material resources on the project. , As a result, he was easily corrupted in the East China Sea, and even the officials were bribed, colluding with others to buy and sell people, and the representative of the perpetrator was right in front of him.

That's right, since the disappearance of Garp's navy and the most important incident of Akin's rebellion, the world government and navy have intensified their scrutiny of the East China Sea team. The government knows.

In addition, the construction of sea trains requires a lot of money. Teclavorf relies on slave labor, and the construction cost is still astronomical, not to mention the sea trains that are still an emerging technology.

It is already a heavy economic burden for these countries and citizens to submit the treasure "Heavenly Gold" that the countries affiliated to the World Government have to submit to the Tianlong people every year. If they want to raise taxes to collect funds, I am afraid that the train network has not been built yet. The economies of various countries improved due to the passage of trains, and the people rebelled first.

In addition, referring to the construction time of Tequila Wolfe, even if the construction time of the train network is discounted a few times, it only takes a hundred years to complete the construction, and the world government can't wait that long.

"William is very aware of the difficulties of the world government, so he specially provided a solution for the government, which is the shareholding system." Dampier said.

The old man with long hair like a waterfall smiled disapprovingly: "Let private capital participate, even if it can solve the initial construction funding problem, they will not help in the follow-up maintenance. There are countless pirates big and small on the sea, only trains Only by operating safely can we be profitable, and only by paying can we get rewards, everyone understands this, so in the end this task will still fall on the navy and the world government, but if we have enough manpower, do we still need you to bring up this plan?"

Dampier smiled: "William means to let Shichibukai become a shareholder! Use Qibuhai's wealth to solve the company's initial capital, use Qibuhai's fierce reputation to maintain the follow-up operation of the train, and most importantly... . "

Dampier said almost word for word: "Save the Qiwuhai system under the king!"

"Let this system get back on track, and bring the attention of the seven great pirates back to the first half of the great route!"

As the top leader who has ruled the world government for many years, Wu Laoxing reacted so quickly. Hearing this, even people who originally expressed disapproval became serious.

William's two plans, which one proposed alone, are just whimsical, but after they are proposed at the same time, they complement each other, making the unrealistic plans seem feasible, and they can be achieved in one fell swoop.

Once the sea train appears, it will greatly promote the rule of the world government, and Shichibukai's shareholding can solve the manpower and funding gap for train construction and maintenance, and by the way, it will gradually start to cause criticism from government officials and the navy, which seems tasteless Wang Shiqiwuhai returned to the original intention of establishing this system.

After all, at the beginning of Qiwuhai's establishment, it was to cull those annoying rogues who were as annoying as flies. Now the seven recruited big pirates are doing their own things, which is "not doing their job properly".

It is difficult for Wu Laoxing to reject these two plans, and it is also difficult to reject William who proposed these two plans.

Why didn't William worry about kicking him away after Wulaoxing heard about the plan? The reason is that these two plans must be implemented at the same time, and his own participation is indispensable for implementation.

Without a unified and efficient modern government command and control, without nationalism, the cohesion of the people endowed by nationalism, such a large project as the train network, a world government with no one and no money is difficult to operate.

Take ten thousand steps back, even if the five old stars have the decision, they will gnash their teeth and sell their iron. The citizens of all the countries that join the world government also enthusiastically support all the decisions of the government, love the ruler Tianlong, and everyone is willing to tighten their belts , can implement the plan when no one has no money.

But after the government puts all the money and manpower into this plan, the government doesn’t care about the other sea areas except the first half of the great route—the New World and the Four Seas? Are the Four Emperors checking and balancing?

Of course, if the five old stars and the world government really decide to do this, and mention William, the provider of the plan, William will definitely applaud, then turn around and enter the arms of the four emperors, and start to develop in the new world after the power of the world government has shrunk. , At the same time, find a way to repeat the old events of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, let the train network plan become an alien version of the Star Wars plan, and drag down the already fragile economy of the world government.

It seems that the monthly pass is doubled these days. If you have a spare monthly pass, please give it away. It’s almost the end of the month, what a waste if it expires! (?????)
