The Black Throne of One Piece

This sudden outbreak of war affects the hearts of countless people in the Drum Kingdom, and all forces at home and abroad are continuing to pay attention.

Finally, after a day and night, the outcome of this war finally appeared, and the rebels won.

The king's army fought fiercely with the rebels for a day and night. The original battle situation was still very stalemate, and the victory or defeat was difficult to say. However, as the rebels sent a mysterious thousand-man death squad, the scale of victory began to lean towards the rebels.

Rumor has it that this mysterious thousand-man death squad is very powerful. Each of them is a muscular man with infinite strength. They are not afraid of knives and guns. They are holding warhammers and are stunned on the battlefield. Even if a dozen ordinary soldiers join hands. They are not their opponents.

With the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, they pierced through the king's army alive.

In the end, the morale of the soldiers of the King’s Army was directly beaten by this terrifying thousand-man death squad, and then there was a large-scale rout.

The king's army of more than 20,000 people, after this battle, left less than a thousand remnants of defeated generals, and fled back to the port of Rhodes in a desperate manner.

However, the rebels also suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although their losses were not as miserable as the king's army, they also lost more than half of them. In the end, nearly 20,000 people were left with only about 10,000.

Whether it is the rebel army or the king's army, both sides are greatly injured in this war, and I am afraid that they will not be able to continue the fight in a short time.

But when the various forces thought that the war would come to an end temporarily, it was only a day after Gilbert commanded the morale-like rebels to attack the Port of Rhodes. Klimans, the city lord whom King Gresham trusted very much, would turn against him at this time and now.

The private soldiers led by Klimans secretly opened the gates, allowing the rebels to break into the Rhodes port easily at night, and assisting the rebels to seize the Rhodes port, and another war broke out.

However, the commander-in-chief of the king’s army, Nolande, responded very quickly and promptly commanded the 3rd army of the king’s army, which had more than 16,000 people in the city, to start a fierce battle with the rebels. Retired the rebels and wiped out more than 3,000 rebels.

However, in this battle, because the city lord Klimans took the lead, many of the nobles in the city also rebelled. The Third Army of the King’s Army also suffered heavy losses, and it took nearly half of its troops to successfully repel the rebels.

And after this stop, most of the Rhodes port was destroyed by the war.

......

"Damn it, this old **** Noland turned down my invitation. I was really angry. He didn't know that Gresham **** was about to die? He was so loyal to him, and those in Rhodes Harbor. Guys, when I take the throne, I will never let them go."

In the castle on the drum giant peak near the port of Vilia, Gilbert was furious after receiving the latest report.

Just a little bit, relying on the leading party of Klimans, his rebels almost succeeded in those Rhodes ports. At the last moment, the local forces that were originally neutral in Rhodes ports stepped in. Shengsheng let the rebels fail this night attack.

"Master Gilbert calmed down. After this stop, the Port of Rhodes is also over. The Third Army of the King's Army lost more than half of it. It is no longer able to fight. And the nobles in various places have begun to respond to your call. The Snowy City is still in our hands. I think it won’t take long for you, my lord, to regroup, and next time you will be able to complete your grand vision in one breath."

At this time, Watt, Gilbert's personal guard, said with a smile.

Gilbert's face improved a lot when Watt said this.

Indeed, the King’s Army has been defeated one after another, and the positions of the nobles across the country have begun to waver. The most obvious is that Klimans, who was originally Gresham’s confidant, chose to rebel and almost fell the Port of Rhodes.

Once these nobles give up supporting the king's army led by Gresham, the pressure on the rebels will be greatly reduced.

Although the number of elite troops in his hand is now only more than 7,000, these are elite soldiers who have gone through many wars. As long as you give time to recruit and train new recruits, you will soon be able to train a strong team. Of the army.

At that time, he should be able to completely defeat the king's army.

It's just that the wealth in his hands is not very rich anymore.

This war is indeed a bottomless pit. The recruitment of new recruits, the training of the army, the payment of military expenses and pensions, and the purchase of high-priced food at this time. The huge wealth he has accumulated over the past ten years has also begun to appear in crisis. .

"The sea route must be restarted as soon as possible, and the **** King's sea fleet must find a way to eliminate it."

Gilbert secretly estimated the remaining financial resources in his hands.

Over the past few months, the King’s Marine Fleet has been cruising in the waters near the port of Vília, which has severely hindered foreign merchant ships. At present, the only merchant ships that can maintain normal sailing trade are the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce with powerful maritime armed forces. Chamber of Commerce only.

But of course, these powerful chambers of commerce alone cannot reactivate the economy of the Port of Vella. A large number of small and medium-sized commercial ships from outside must be allowed to enter and exit the Port of Vella freely.

Gilbert believes that as long as the economy of the Port of Vilia is reactivated, the wealth in his hands will soon become rich again. The healing medicines that survive in his pharmaceutical factory have accumulated like a mountain. As long as they can be sold, it will definitely be one. Great wealth.

Over the past few months, he has been busy taking care of the huge army of the king's army on the road, and the lack of sea power has made this king's army and navy arrogant to this point.

Now that the army on the road of the king's army is toothless, it is not to be afraid for the time being, it is time for him to take action to clean up these pesky king's army and navy.

"What should I do?"

Gilbert sat back in the chair, nodding at the table with his fingers, thinking about solutions.

Over the years, he has actually been thinking of ways to develop maritime power. Unfortunately, because there is no way to make it public, and because Gresham has been staring very hard in this regard, and the hideous pirate Doflamingo’s secret obstruction, he has never been Able to successfully form an outstanding maritime force.

Now this problem left over from history has become his confidant.

......

"Hahaha~, I actually thought of using our maritime armed forces to fight against the Royal Navy's navy. This Gilbert was really sick and went to the hospital."

A month later, in Barr's base camp and Barr's office, Barr heard Gilbert's request from Williams and laughed.

The other people in the room laughed similarly.

"Yeah, it seems that this guy can't be forced, but the conditions he offered at the time were really attractive. The tax exemption for ten years is really big."

Williams said with a smile.

The tax collection at the Port of Ville is very heavy, basically one for ten, and for some very expensive goods, one for five. Therefore, even if Gilbert does nothing, he can stay on for a lifetime by collecting taxes alone. Unfinished wealth.

Now, in order to be able to lift the Royal Navy’s naval blockade of the Port of Vella, Gilbert has spared no expense in exempting the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and several large chambers of commerce with powerful maritime forces in the city from taxes for ten years as a condition.

I have to say that the allure of this condition is quite amazing.

After all, from now on ~www.readwn.com~ Gilbert has a great chance of winning this civil war. Once the bet is won, the rate of return can be great.

It is a pity that the helms of the several large chambers of commerce are not fools. The tax exemption rights for the past ten years are just a pie for the time being. As long as the current situation of the several chambers of commerce that is almost monopolizing the overseas trade of the Port of Vilia is maintained, this is a big pie. The cakes are not very fragrant.

Moreover, Gilbert’s reputation in the country is already very bad. His behavior of indulging rebels to **** food and wealth from the people is really hard to believe in his credibility. Several large chambers of commerce are worried that Gilbert will change his mind when he takes power. After all, when the time comes, it will be difficult for them to fight against Gilbert, the man in power.

Therefore, Gilbert's request can only come to an end for the time being.

"Although Gilbert is unlikely to get the support of those large chambers of commerce, it can't be prevented. This situation is exactly what we need, and it is absolutely impossible for Gilbert to reactivate the economy of the Port of Ville. I have been his nanny for a few months and it’s time to end, Williams, help me prepare a boat, and I need an excellent navigator."

Soon, Barr stopped laughing, he touched his chin, and then said to Williams seriously.
