Chapter 134: Not afraid of enemies like gods, but afraid of teammates like pigs

"Fortress?"

When everyone heard Roxa's plan, they couldn't help but be surprised.

For pirates who are full of minds and only want to rob wealth, "construction" is a very unfamiliar term.

What they want is only to use the cannons and scimitars in their hands to seize them.

They are better at destruction than construction.

As for the idea of ​​building a military facility such as a fortress in Nassau, they never thought about it!

However, among the people present, the Blackbeard, Honigold, who was the most considering Nassau's future, discussed the issue of "how to strengthen Nassau's defense."

With a flash of eyes, Blackbeard was the first to ask the most critical question: "It sounds good. But where does the cost of building a fort come from?"

Facing everyone's eyes, Rorschach raised his right hand, opened his palm, and replied: "As the proposer, I will take out 50,000 pesos, the initial construction cost."

After a pause, he continued to say:

"Of course, 50,000 pesos is just a drop in the bucket. But you should also understand that Nassau is not my own Nassau, but all the pirates."

"So, I hope that all members of the Pirates League will support and fund this construction project and make Nassau stronger together!"

"This is for Nassau, for us, and for a higher goal!"

After saying that, Rorschach returned to his seat.

Looking around, Honeygold looked at the captains who were trapped in thought, and couldn't help but hit the table with his fists twice, then said:

"Okay, Captain Rorschach has put forward his opinion. Gentlemen, start the vote."

The first to make a statement was the Blackbeard, who was similar to the ones Rorschach's hero.

He reached out and stroked his signature dark beard, then his eyes slashed, and his hoarse voice rang out:

"I agree with Rorschach's plan. Fortresses can make Nassau safer. If we can get a few more large warships and a bunch of guns and cannons, even if the king's army comes over, we will have the power to fight!"

"I will pay 30,000 pesos to fund the construction of the fortress!"

As soon as he finished speaking, James Kidd, who was holding his chest with his hands on his side, took over the conversation and added:

"I agree. I fund ten thousand pesos."

Charles Wayne held the bottle in his hand tightly, greeted Rorschach, and said in a deep voice:

"If this fortress could keep Nassau away from the damn kings and clergy, why not? I also paid ten thousand pesos."

After saying that, he reached out to signal Jack Lackham beside him, "This idiot next to me also paid ten thousand pesos."

Upon hearing this, Lakham, who was already thinking about how to refuse to pay, suddenly became anxious:

"Hey hey! Charles, how do you make the decision for me?!"

Wayne, who was furious, turned his head and glared at Lakham fiercely, "I'm just helping you to use the money wasted on women in more meaningful places."

"If you don't plan to fund it, I will take you next time I go to Boston to rob, so don't think I will take you."

Hearing these threatening words, Lakham couldn't help but shrink his neck and raised his hands to surrender: "Okay..."

The four people present had already expressed their opinions, and the only ones left were Honigold and his two subordinates.

Although Honeygold will be disappointed in the development and future of Nassau, he will betray the Pirates Alliance and accept the pardon of the British King.

But, at least for now, he is still the optimistic idealist who founded the Pirate Republic.

As the fruit tree he planted himself, Nassau does not want anyone to touch it before it bears fruit!

So, even though he was unhappy about Rorschach's offense.

However, in this matter related to Nassau's future, he did not affect his judgment, but made the most rational decision:

"I also agree with Rorschach's plan. For Nassau and for this ideal country, I will pay 30,000 pesos,"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that the leader of the Pirate Alliance is not the kind of person who is inseparable from public and private...

Since Honigold had spoken, only the two captains who were following Honigold had agreed to contribute 5,000 each.

The eight captains just raised 150,000 pesos as early investment in the fortress.

Although Rorschach was a little surprised, he was not too surprised that everyone had unanimously adopted his plan.

This proves that these pirates are not stupid enough to be hopeless.

You are not afraid of enemies like gods, but you are afraid of teammates like pigs.

With such a teammate who can tell the difference, Rorschach has more confidence in keeping Nassau...

Convincing everyone to agree to the plan, the next step is to implement the plan.

"Gentlemen, thank you very much for your trust and support."

"In order for this money to be implemented in the construction of the fortress, I suggest that the Coast Brotherhood set up an audit department to recruit accountants and craftsmen to calculate the specific materials and funds needed to build the fortress. Then we gather here every two months to supervise the progress of the fortress..."

Listening to Rorschach's words, Charles Wayne, who felt very troublesome, immediately raised his hand to interrupt him:

"I don't have so much time to do these boring things! Since you proposed this plan, you will be responsible for it."

"It's nothing, I'll leave first. I'll send someone to hand over the money to you tomorrow..."

After saying that, he picked up a bottle of rum, got up and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Lakham also stood up, gave a noble salute to everyone, and blinked: "I'm leaving too, the lush forest is still waiting for me to pick..."

As the two left, the other captains also said that since this matter was proposed by you, Rorschach, it should be done by you.

Everyone's attitude was also expected by Rorschach.

These people are pirates, not farmers.

It's already great to let them sit down and talk about things calmly.

Do you still want them to farm and carry out construction?

impossible!

...

After naturally becoming the head of the fortress construction project, Rorschach began to prepare for the construction of the fortress.

He first bought a property in Nassau town as an office.

Then, it began to be publicized that the Pirates Alliance would build a fortress in Nassau and shouted the slogan "Together, build a fortress that belongs to pirates only."

This move, like a huge stone, was thrown into the calm lake, and ripples suddenly splashed in Nassau and even the entire Bahamas.

Many pirates were attracted by sensational slogans and funded them to the office.

In their opinion, Nassau is their home and a free country that belongs only to them.

In order to protect your home, these efforts are also natural.

Although the pirates' funding is just a drop in the bucket.

However, for Rorschach, the support of the pirates is a very important part of his plan to control Nassau in the future.

Because these people represent the hearts of the people.
