Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 480: Borrowing Money from the Navy (33)

Gold has an extremely high density; the same volume of gold is 19 times heavier than water.

The unit of measurement "one ton" seems very large. Any object weighing one ton can kill someone, but if it is converted into gold, it is just a square block with a length, width and height of more than 30 centimeters.

Well, it can also kill people.

Person: “What did I do wrong?”

The golden bricks in the tomb were piled up into a mountain, and the workers initially estimated that there were at least seven thousand tons!

That’s seven thousand... tons!
That's why Ron said that he couldn't have made it with the unscientific ability of Lei Yejin. For this weight of gold, it would be more than enough for Tezoro to do it.

Bru bru…bru bru bru…

That night, the Den Den Mushi arrived as promised.

Ron had just finished dealing with the workers and tried to please them in every way possible and returned to the tent. He immediately took out his Den Den Mushi in frustration.

As the saying goes, a poor man in a busy city has no one to care about him, but a rich man in a remote mountain area has distant relatives. Trouble is coming.

"Hey, Ron, did you really strike gold?!"

Sengoku's toad glasses were extremely conspicuous, and he shouted loudly as soon as the call was connected. Ron quickly moved the Den Den Mushi a few centimeters away from him and tickled his ears.

"Lieutenant General Gumier told you, right? Yes, that's right!"

"how many?"

"Seven thousand tons..."

Boom!
Sengoku's face disappeared from the Den Den Mushi, and at the same time, there was a sound of tables, chairs and benches colliding, and after a moment, Zephyr's voice sounded.

"Ron, it's me!"

"Hang up the phone! Zhan Guo, that shameless guy is trying to steal your money!"

Ron: "..."

"Ouch, you dare to do it?!"

Zefa shouted angrily. Just by the sound of the wind, Ron could see that a fight was taking place in the marshal's office thousands of miles away.

No wonder Zefa is so excited.

To use a term that everyone understands, the monetary value of Pele chosen by Oda is roughly equivalent to the Japanese yen.

Excluding purity, the price of gold in the One Piece world is much cheaper than on Earth, but the average price per gram is still around 3000 berries.

One ton is one million grams, which means one million 3000, 30 billion Baileys!
7000 tons, that is 21,

Trillion Baileys!!!
In Zefa's eyes, this was found by his disciple, so of course it belongs to Ron. Zhan Guo's words sounded nice, borrowing it temporarily?

But can he pay it back?

If Zefa had known in advance that Ron had found so much gold, he would never have agreed to be a lobbyist.

Ron rolled his eyes, wondering whether he should hang up the phone.

However, it was impossible to hide so much gold from others, so he chose to endure it.

When Ron heard that everything was calm on the other end of the Den Den Mushi and Zhan Guo's swollen face appeared, he spoke first, "Isn't it just 21 trillion? The Golden Emperor is much richer than me! Look how excited you are..."

Let me tell you something funny.

As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. As Bill "Golden Emperor" Gates, Tesoro has been blackmailed more than once in his life.

Some are from pirates, and some are from high-ranking government officials.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would definitely try every means to protect their property when they meet such a person, but Tezoro is rich and powerful. No matter who it is, as long as you make him feel that it is troublesome to deal with it, he is willing to pay money to avoid disaster.

There is only one reason...

That was the one who asked for the highest price among them, and he only asked for 10 billion Baileys!

It is said that the Golden Emperor is very rich, so he should be able to come up with 10 billion, right?

That's roughly the idea.

Poverty limits our imagination.

Even more outrageous was a pirate who was complacent about his bounty of hundreds of millions. He only asked for 1 billion Baileys and was fooled by Tesoro into working as a thug for five years, under the pretext of win-win cooperation.

However, for a man who controls 20% of the world's Pele, billion is really not a lot of money!

The pile of gold that Ron found is worth 21 trillion. How much is the gold in the "Golden City" Gulan Tezzolori worth?
What about all his wealth added together?

The senior government official who happened to know how much Tesoro had earned from a certain black market business was even afraid that his price would be rejected because it was too high, so he promised a lot of benefits, which made Tesoro smile.

Yes, yes, yes, I lost a lot!

Little did he know that the privilege regulations he promised alone would increase Tezoro's annual income by 30%, worth trillions!
In this regard, Ron could only say that except for Tesoro, everyone else in this world had too narrow a vision, and their understanding of what it meant to be "rich" remained at a very superficial level.

Well, it’s all because of poverty!

Lack of imagination about what it means to be "rich" personally.

Including this group of navy...

After Ron's light words fell, there was silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi. Including Zephyr who had just spoken for Ron, a group of people looked at the Den Den Mushi with dull expressions, stunned.

21...trillion? !!!

This is much more impactful than “seven thousand tons”!
"Oh my god! If it's Bailey, he can flood the entire headquarters fortress, right?!"

Staff Officer He swallowed hard, as if he saw that scene.

No wonder she was so embarrassed.

How much military expenditure does the government allocate to the navy each year?
Excluding the essential funds needed by each branch and those that cannot be moved, the total operating funds that the headquarters can mobilize in a year is only about 10 to 20 billion.

As a lieutenant general of the headquarters, Ron's annual military salary is only 200 million!
Why do the scum of the navy want to make money?

Because the navy is really poor.

At least this is true when it comes to each general.

Ron just happened to hear this and answered without thinking: "How is that possible! How big is a Bailey's?"

"…The flooding reached the third floor at most."

Three floors...

Well, you have money and you are right!
The corner of Zhan Guo's mouth twitched and he cleared his throat: "Ahem, that Ron, oh no, Lieutenant General Cang Long."

Facing the "heroic" Ron, Zhan Guo's tone inevitably weakened a bit.

"You must be aware of the recent situation in the New World. War is all about money. As long as the Big Mom Pirates don't withdraw, we can't stop spending money..."

"Forget about it, Marshal. How much do you want?"

Ron interrupted.

They all knew that the possibility of Big Mom withdrawing was close to zero, and it was also a fact that the headquarters was short of funds... or was it a convention?
Since the overall situation is at stake, Ron naturally wouldn't be stingy.

"Great! That's great! I admire that about you, Ron!"

Zhan Guo was overjoyed, and then he looked at Chief of Staff He and rubbed his hands: "How about you lend me one trillion? Of course I will write an IOU, it's considered that this department owes you personally!"

one trillion?

Ron laughed and said, "I'll give you 10 trillion, do you want it?"

"One trillion. Have you figured out how to report this to the Five Elders? You're going to use the money to rebel!"

Zhan Guo almost blurted out "I want it".

Then he came to himself, his face turning red.

Ron's words were somewhat outrageous, but he was indeed overthinking this matter. The government controls the navy by allocating a small amount of military funds every year.

With this trillion dollars in hand, the navy's economy can be completely independent. Do you think the Five Elders think they are planning a rebellion, a rebellion, or a rebellion?
"Then how much do you want to give?"

Realizing that he couldn't get too much money, Zhan Guo raised his hand and kicked the ball to Ron.

"It's very simple. Isn't there a war going on recently? I will pay as much as the navy spends in this war. I think the Five Elders won't be able to say anything."

The Navy contributed both manpower and money to wipe out a Four Emperors pirate group. No matter how much the Five Elders need to balance and control their subordinates, there is nothing wrong with this.

Anyway, the navy’s own funding remains unchanged, and it is still the same navy, unable to cause any waves.

"That's it!"

Zhan Guo looked disappointed.

He still wanted to get rich overnight, but the result was still the same!
"That's enough. Thank you for your understanding, Ron."

Staff Officer Crane glared at Sengoku and took over the conversation: "You are in Alabasta now, right? We will arrange a warship to pick you up immediately."

"no problem."

Ron was equally speechless at Zhan Guo's reaction.

Obviously, this matter will cause him a lot of trouble, but he is still greedy. Ron is sure that the spies from the Five Elders are on their way here.

But he also understood that the butt determines the head.

As a marshal, Zhan Guo had to coordinate everything. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers waiting to be fed, and every aspect required money. They had to tighten their belts to make ends meet. They were completely terrified of poverty and wished for as much money as possible.

It's hard to hate him because he is a good marshal. He is greedy for money but it's for the soldiers rather than for his own personal gain.

"But I'm deep in the desert, far from the coast. It would be best to dispatch a team of airships to help."

Although Ron is the commander-in-chief of the Navy Aircraft Force, he is currently on vacation and does not have the "Tiger Tally" with him. The only troops he can directly mobilize are those of G10, the base commander.

Other airship units only recognize orders and not people. Since Xiaohu Fu is not here, he has no way of asking the nearby branches to send airships over.

The phone call just doesn’t work!
That is a special type of Den Den Mushi that only receives corresponding signals.

He also thought of this, and nodded and said, "I see. Then you can wait for a few more days here, and come back just in time to resume your job."

"Yes!"

Ron nodded and saluted, then hung up the phone.

Recently I learned a trick, put the first update after midnight, so that even if I can't update in time due to something, it's easy to get it out, so as not to lose the full attendance [manual funny]
