One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Unfortunately, although Carson did send someone to inform Kozuki Sukiyaki of the news, he only agreed to it out of courtesy and did not take any special countermeasures.

For example, starting conscription training, tightening food control, public opinion guidance and weapons production.

Don't think that fighting is just sending troops to fight. Fighting is about logistics and the stability of the rear. A battle requires at least half a year of preparation time to have the greatest impact on the rear.

Otherwise, if we rashly start a war, and it lasts more than half a year, if inflation is kept within 100%, it will be considered a sign of outstanding economic performance by the country's economic sector.

In One Piece, this point is not obvious because there is no battle between two political entities in the narrow sense, but more of an encounter between pirates and the navy, and there is no protracted confrontation or positional warfare.

After all, pirates and the navy are not standard political entities. They are purely violent agencies. To put it bluntly, they are armed police and bandits. One has a country behind it, and the other relies on robbing. The economy has nothing to do with these two.

This point is very clearly demonstrated in the next door Hokage. In the Third Ninja World War, regardless of winning or losing, all countries (villages) suffered heavy losses. This is the reason.

From Carsent's perspective, it is easy to analyze the unusualness of the Fujiyama area this time.

But for Kotsuki Sukiyaki, its attitude is not without reason.

After all, for Kozuki Sukiyaki, in recent years, since before Kaido came, there has been unrest in various parts of Wano Country. There is a rebellion here today and a fight there tomorrow. Some of them are secretly instigated by Orochi, and some of them simply think that they can replace the Kozuki family in troubled times.

Martial law regulations similar to the one in the Fujiyama area were all too common in troubled times. Outside the Flower Capital, there were rebellions everywhere. At this very moment, Kotsuki Sukiyaki knew of no less than seventeen areas where abnormal troop movements had occurred.

But at this time, Huazhidu was no longer able to send troops to attack, and the matter was left unresolved.

After all, if martial law is imposed for a little rebellion, it is possible that the martial law has lasted for six or seven years, which would cause more serious harm to the people of the Flower City.

Therefore, although Kozuki Sukiyaki did not take the soldier who went to report the news from Carsent's platoon too seriously, he still treated him warmly and told the navy not to worry.

Although it is not in a state of war, there are still thousands of troops. The situation in Wano Country is becoming increasingly deteriorating, and Kozuki Sukiyaki has to gradually increase its military investment.

Unintentionally, the Kozuki family is destined to be at a disadvantage in the changing situation in the entire Wano Country.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed. Carsent led the naval forces to spread naval ideas around the Flower City, and the response was strong.

Thousands of people have actively responded to the navy's conscription, and the navy accepts all applicants and recruits all young and middle-aged men who have been trained and selected.

These people not only have a preliminary sense of justice, but are also native Wano people. In the future, they will be the grassroots personnel of the Wano Naval Base.

In addition, the Beasts Pirates have further increased their investment in the Fujiyama area. The research on weapons and Quinn bullets has been perfected and has entered the large-scale production stage.

More than one-third of Fujiyama's troops have begun to equip themselves with firearms, which is absolutely a crushing gap for Wano Country, which has always won with swords.

The martial law in Fujiyama area lasted for three months, and suddenly one day in March it was announced that the martial law in Fujiyama area was lifted and daily life resumed.

"Let me tell you, the Fujiyama area is just a minor disturbance, there is no need to make a big deal out of it."

Inside the Flower Capital Palace, after seeing the detailed information, Kozuki Sukiyaki took a deep breath and smiled softly, then sent an envoy to inform the navy that the Fujiyama area had returned to peace.

"Ah... the storm is coming. Now that Kaido has completely taken control of the Fujiyama area, there is naturally no need for martial law. At the same time, the release of the Fujiyama area means that the first batch of Fujiyama advance troops can be reorganized and directly sneak into the Flower Capital area."

"Quinn bombs, what a hassle. It's better not to use biological weapons to wreak havoc in the Flower Capital."

Carsente was not as optimistic as Kotsuki Sukiyaki. After telling the messenger his guess, he sent the messenger back to inform the daimyo.

"Lairsas, you will do it yourself this time. Contact the scouts in various places. There is no need to deal with anyone outside the Flower City. If there are any Beasts Pirates trying to detonate a biological bomb inside the Flower City, kill them on the spot."

"Except for biological and chemical bombs, there is no need to intervene in other actions as long as they do not directly threaten the navy."

"Also, get me a few of the so-called 'Quinn Bullets'. This weapon will surely become a powerful weapon for the Beasts Pirates to fight against the Navy in the future. We need to take precautions in advance."

Carsente attached great importance to Baishou's action and directly asked Laersas to do it himself.

The strongest sniper of the Holy Shield Society has been through two years of experience since the New World Naval Battle. His strength has become even more terrifying, and he has mastered the ingenious combination of close combat and gun fighting skills, long-range sniping and the Penetration Fruit.

In the Beasts Pirates, even a "disaster" level strongman could be seriously injured if he is targeted by Lyrsas and is not prepared.

The reason why Carsent made such arrangements was mainly to maintain the integrity of the Flower Capital. As a regime that will cooperate with the navy in the future, the Flower Capital is the foundation of the entire Kozuki family, and no major problems can occur.

Carson didn't want to be stationed in a hell on earth full of poisonous insects. Biological and chemical weapons would cause lasting damage to the environment.

"Understood, Lieutenant General, I'll go right away."

Lelsas responded, picked up the sniper rifle and turned to leave. Lelsas was already familiar with this kind of thing and did not need any special instructions.

……

Just as Carsent expected, in the next ten days, the Fujiyama region planned a total of six biological and chemical attacks in the Flower Capital, all of which were intercepted in advance by Lelsas, and twelve of each type of Quinn bombs were seized.

In addition, the Fujiyama region planned four decapitation operations in the Flower Capital, two of which targeted the daimyo Sukiyaki, but all failed. It is impossible for the assassins from the native country of Wano to get past Shimotsuki Kyu's close protection.

Once he targeted the military minister of Wano Country, but failed.

But the last attempt on the Finance Minister of Wano Country was successfully assassinated. For a time, the entire Flower Capital was in a panic, especially those in power, who were afraid that they would become the next target of assassination.

It was not until this time that Kozuki Sukiyaki realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly began to prepare for war. The huge but increasingly corrupt machine of Wano Country began to turn again, but it was too late.
