Chapter 9 D’s Secret(1/2)
"Hmph, you don't need to ask, I will mention those to you."
The old diplomatic man smiled disdainfully, and the other five old stars around him smiled disdainfully.
The old diplomatic man spoke amid a sneer.
“About the reasons for the pirates, haha.
Eight hundred years ago, the war ended and the world government was officially established.
After that, our ancestors, together with the country that had fought for a hundred years, buried most of the bloody history of the Hundred Years War.
Although hundreds of years of war have caused us torture, the civilians in many kingdoms are even more painful, and no one wants to welcome the arrival of peace more than them.
But there are always a small group of people who don’t think so.
In Wano Country, the Hirotsuki clan always believed that stopping war and establishing a covenant was a betrayal of the hundreds of countries in the world toward Wano Country.
So, the Guangyue clan privately carved the main stone slab that recorded history!
If not everyone wants to cover it up, can the history that everyone has experienced personally really disappear out of thin air?
Eight hundred years ago, what people all over the world knew about can be easily erased by our Tianlong people?
That was the hatred of generations, and the memory of each of them!
The reason why we can hide history is that compared with hatred, countries around the world hope to usher in peace!
They let go of their persistence, abandon hatred and memories, just to embrace the peace that has never arrived for a long time.
But as time goes by, after the older generations who have experienced war in various countries gradually passed away, the selfish behavior of the Guangyue clan finally set off a new wave of resistance.
About 740 years ago, the world ignited wolf smoke again.
We have to adopt some special strategies for this.
At first, we sent soldiers to travel around the world on a small scale, active near almost every island.
We do not seek to suppress the local kingdoms, but only ask them to cause enough harassment and trouble for each country to restrain the forces of each country and prevent the country from easily raising the anti-flagration.
However, decades later, the soldiers released had already become accustomed to the life of wandering and plundering, and they changed from original soldiers to real pirates.
In this regard, we have not implemented coercive measures, because we have only one enemy, that is, all countries in the world!
Whether they are pirates, soldiers, or even revolutionary troops.
As long as they can bring trouble to countries around the world, we can let it go!
At the same time, we have made a real big deal around the world.
In order to completely solve the fundamental problem of inconvenience of transportation and the difficulty of central power to control local areas, we decided to be among all the islands in the world...
Establish a great infrastructure project called Continental Bridge!
Starting seven hundred years ago, the continental bridge plan has never been cut off, and countless workers have been put into this project.
For a full seven hundred years, until today, this project has never been interrupted without any storm!
This is the past, this is the present, and this is the future!
Before the continental bridge is fully built, before we have the conditions to conquer countries around the world at the same time and can quickly dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion of every island.
The existence of pirates is necessary.
Pirates distributed around the world will bring enough pressure to the nobles of various countries and deepen the aristocrats' dependence on the world government.
Those pressures will also make the nobles seek our protection more urgently, and this protection will make the nobles more simply hand over the tax they deserve, that is, the gold in heaven.
For seven hundred years, this situation has continued. Although there are occasional bumps and bumps, the overall environment has never changed.
until……."
"Until the appearance of the former One Piece, Gol D. Roger, right?"
Gao Wen's eyes lit up, and he thought of many things, so he interrupted the old diplomatic man and asked softly.
Hearing his inquiry, the old diplomat gritted his teeth and said viciously.
“That’s right.
Although pirates have emerged one after another in the past seven hundred years, they have been distributed particularly evenly under our guidance.
Except for some of the big pirates entrenched in the narrow area of the New World, there are enough pirates in the world and the great route to create pressure on various countries.
The pressure is not very great, but it will never be too small for them to ignore it. This situation is particularly stable by us.
Before Roger, no matter Locks or any other big pirate.
They have never wavered this stability.
Until Roger appears!”
The five old stars are afraid that they hate Roger very much. The old diplomatic people are full of love and affection, which is so gritting their teeth.
"One Piece, haha, after he saw the 100-year history of disappearance on the secret island, he probably thought he had really made some great decision?
It was the declaration of the great secret treasure before his death that made this sea, which might not be very good, but finally had a stable and basic order, completely lost its original order!
The young men and pirates from all over the world responded to his call and ran towards the so-called treasure he mentioned, all of which rushed to a mere corner of the New World!
You may not be able to understand this kind of disaster. I will explain to you how much trouble the excessive population loss has caused to this world and the islands of all countries and countries!
This matter…”
“No need!”
Gao Wen suddenly interrupted the old diplomat.
"I can imagine the harm caused by this phenomenon!"
While speaking, Gao Wen smiled bitterly.
Of course he understood that kind of trouble, because in some ways, that trouble was almost the same as where he lived in the past.
The pirates broke into the new world and tried to make a fortune, and the danger of the new world made most pirates fall on the way forward.
Most of the islands in all over the world who have the conditions to go to sea are young and middle-aged people of appropriate age.
Since Roger's death, too many young people in the world have taken the pirate path and have never returned!
Isn’t this the same situation as the northerners leaving their hometowns and going to the south in large quantities? Whether they go to work or work hard, aren’t they all going to make a fortune or live a life?
And the young man left his hometown...
Wouldn't it make my hometown people unable to drink the sweet well water?
Just imagine that Gao Wen can see that kind of picture.
After losing a large number of young and middle-aged men, the proportion of aging in the world increased, newborns decreased, and productivity decreased.
But while productivity is reduced, the pressure of gold in the sky, that is, tax revenue, has not been reduced.
After a while, will the pressure from civilians in the world double?
In addition to this pressure, combined with the previous five old stars, Gao Wen can also think of other impacts caused by the era of the Great Pirates.
In the past, most of the pirates entrenched all over the world came from local islands, and they were restrained. The nobles of the countries responsible for the islands would not have been too cruel to exploit the civilians on the island.
After all, the thief in my hometown is around me. If you bully the wrong person, wouldn’t you be beaten to death?
The large-scale departure of local pirates will make ordinary islanders lose some invisible but absolutely existing protective power!
For many years, the Tianlong people have collected the same number of heavenly gold from various islands and countries.
Then why do civilians' lives become more and more difficult, but the money spent by nobles from various franchisees on Shambodian Island has increased year by year?
Besides, since ancient times, the number of naval troops arranged by the Navy in the four seas when they established their organization should correspond to the number of pirates in the local sea area.
But in the era of the Great Pirates, the pirates in the Four Seas changed from semi-fixed perpetrators who flew within a certain range to completely Haipaopao.
All pirates are mainly about rushing. They rush to the Overturned Mountain, rush to the Great Way, and rush to the New World!
Who cares about the navy in all directions?
As a result, the Sihai branch became increasingly poor and weak, and the pirates who just ran away could no longer become a fixed source of political achievements for the branch navy, and the branch chief was even more indecent and difficult to be promoted.
A funny scene where a branch was created, and a chief could actually occupy the position of nowhere to be promoted for decades.
Gao Wen knew what this would cause, of course it was the rapid depravity of the Sihai branch navy.
Just like when Wang Luffy and his friends were in the East China Sea, whether it was Monca or mice, there were degenerate and corrupt naval officers everywhere.
When Wang Luffy and his friends arrived at the Great Route, there were fewer such phenomena, except for the spies from related households and other people, as well as psychopathic madmen.
Among the G-font branches of Great Hang Road, the quality of the navy has been greatly improved compared with the world.
Thinking of this, Gao Wen looked up and signaled to the Five Old Stars.
"Believe it or not, I can probably understand what you haven't said yet.
For those, I don't think I can find a solution in a short time.
Compared to questions that cannot be solved immediately but already know the answer, I tend to explore new unknowns.
So, can you tell... tell... me, what is D's will...?"
To be continued...
