Arkham in the pirate world

Once you have gathered the "King Explosion", you must fight it out. When you fight it out, you have to pay attention to it.

"Wang Zha" is certainly powerful, but if you throw it away at the beginning and have only three or four left in your hand, you can't win.

Kuzan joined the Arkham Kingdom as the commander of the navy. The news gradually cooled down after half a month.

Neither the Princess Olvia nor Kuzan seemed to be making much movement.

But the battle in the dark never stops.

In just the past half month, there have been no fewer than twenty attacks on the Princess Olvia to blow it up, with an average of more than one attack each time.

The central sea area of ​​Arkham Kingdom.

A naval battle exercise is taking place.

On an airship similar to a hot-air balloon, Liszt, Kuzan, Romu and other senior military officials looked down.

"Facing steam ironclads with faster speeds, stronger gunfire, and thicker decks, sail battleships have no advantages."

Kuzan looked at the battlefield and saw that the gap was too big.

"In the vast sea, especially in a place like the Grand Line, if a ship is sunk, it is equivalent to death."

"You are so brave, but you can't do anything against a cold machine, unless there are strong men at the level of the Four Emperors and Shichibukai on the other side, who still have a chance."

"In a naval battle that spans visual distance, if one avoids a boarding battle, one's personal strength will be greatly weakened. An excellent commander is particularly important."

The senior military officials expressed their opinions in a few words.

In the era of sailing battleships, the cannons usually fired one or two rounds at each other. If you could escape, you would run away. If you couldn't escape, you would try to join the side. Therefore, when pirates faced the navy, they still had to fight. Everyone's combat effectiveness was basically about the same. It was a - split.

In the age of steam ironclads, who would fight face to face?

It all depends on who has the stronger cannon and thicker armor.

But can anyone play with the steam ironclad?

Regardless of the cost, the construction technology is currently only mastered by Intrepid Shipyard and Carrera Shipbuilding Company.

However, there are differences in the energy used by the steamships built by the two companies. Carrera Shipbuilding Company uses coal, and Intrepid Shipbuilding Company uses "blue flame ice", which is a new energy source similar to "dynamite rock". .

Liszt put down the telescope and said: "The exercise is just an exercise. The specific situation will not be known until we go to the battlefield."

"War" Kuzan asked, tilting his head.

"War can certainly bring disaster, but it can also bring peace. A decaying world needs a battlefield to baptize it."

"Gentlemen, we must make it clear that our war is for world peace."

Lister said: "War not only promotes the development of science and technology, but also promotes the development of human politics, economy, and culture. War will eliminate decaying civilizations and allow excellent civilizations to obtain more resources. Only excellent civilizations can become more Make good use of resources and develop more advanced civilizations, and the survival of the fittest will promote the political, economic, and cultural progress of mankind. Just like eight hundred years ago, the world government overthrew that decadent huge kingdom and established a new world system. But now, That system has become decayed and aged, and a new system is needed to replace it.”

"Of course, if the world wants to progress rapidly, war is necessary, but peacetime is also indispensable. Peacetime is the preparation period for war. The wealth accumulated during peacetime will enable war to better promote human progress. If peace is the key to human progress, In a period of quantitative change, war is a qualitative change in human progress."

"Eight hundred years of peace is enough. It's time to break the peace of this world."

Soon, Liszt's speech was published by the official newspaper: "We love peace, the world needs war."

"Overthrow the corrupt ruling class and establish a new world system"

Such a brazen statement was naturally criticized by the world government, which believed that the Kingdom of Arkham was trying to destroy world peace.

The countries that join the World Government are also accusing the Kingdom of Arkham that the world does not need war, only peace.

However, countries that are not part of the World Government, as well as those independent forces, have expressed support for the Arkham Kingdom.

In particular, arms dealers from all over the world were even more excited. Even Kaido, who had some grudges against Liszt, said that Liszt was right. It got to his heart. If they were not too far away, he would drink with Liszt. .

Everyone knows that Kaido is the world's arms dealer giant.

Liszt's speech was recorded by history as a declaration of war, because just two days after this speech, the kingdom was attacked by the revolutionary army on the East China Sea Bridge, instigating a slave uprising, and a section of the huge bridge built for years was blown up. .

The people and criminals of the liberated countries who refused to join the World Government joined forces with the revolutionary army and blocked the waterway between Mariejoia and the East China Sea.

This incident, known as the "Liberation of Techilawolf", had a direct impact that the world government completely lost control of the East China Sea.

Also in February, a coup occurred in the Kingdom of Goa.

Staley, the adopted son of the noble Otluk III, first married Salinand Canet, and then the king and prince of the Kingdom of Goa died inexplicably. Staley inherited the throne, and in the name of "businessmen destroying the tradition of the Kingdom of Goa" , arresting Arkham Kingdom merchants across the country and refusing to recognize a series of commercial and trade agreements signed by the old king and the Arkham Kingdom.

Lafitte, the foreign minister of the Kingdom of Arkham, condemned the protests against the Kingdom of Goa's breaking of the agreement and arresting merchants, and demanded that the Kingdom of Goa release the arrested businessmen, otherwise, the Kingdom of Arkham will resort to force.

Lafitte can become the foreign minister. On the one hand, he has this talent. On the other hand, he is the official representative of the West China Sea.

Because after Robin became the queen, she no longer interfered in government affairs, but took care of the royal industry, the Arkham Group.

"Behind the Kingdom of Goa is the World Government. In the past few years, Cipherpol of the World Government has been acting secretly, connecting the old nobles in the East China Sea whose interests have been harmed, and secretly forming an alliance of nobles."

Kingdom high-level meeting.

Politaya from the intelligence department said: "After the liberation incident of the Kingdom on the Bridge, the World Government lost control of the East China Sea. It had no choice but to let the Goa Kingdom jump out in advance. As long as we act, we will face a counterattack by the entire aristocracy. .”

"Where's the list of nobles?" Liszt asked.

Politaya unfolded the document and said: "It is currently known that there are nearly a hundred old noble families in the entire East China Sea who are connected with the Noble Alliance, not only in the hostile kingdoms, but also in the countries that have joined the East China Sea Economic Union. There are a large number of guys who are waiting for an opportunity to counterattack."

Liszt glanced at it, closed the document, and said: "Then use war to sweep them into the trash can of history. Do you have any objections?"

Early the next morning, the Arkham Kingdom declared a "war" against the Goa Kingdom and would attack at noon.

The people of Goa Kingdom will have four hours to escape.
