From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

“So?” Diarmait asked again.

"According to the book 'The Balance and the Redistribution of Power', by the way, have you read this book? If not, I highly recommend it. It is a book that transcends the times. The ideas and theories in it can really be used to create a new era..." Dorag said excitedly.

It seemed as if he had a lot to say when this book was mentioned, and he highly praised the author of the book in his words.

But no one knows who wrote this book?

"I haven't read it, but I have met the author," Diarmait said.

"Really?" Dorag asked in surprise.

Kuzan and Borsalino on the side nodded and said, "Really, it's not just Diarmait, we've seen it too."

"Your navy is still more powerful. I have also mobilized a lot of manpower to find this author, but I couldn't find him after all. I thought he had passed away long ago and was an ancient sage. I didn't expect he is still alive? Who is he? Can you introduce him to me? I really want to chat with him about these advanced ideas..." Dorag said excitedly.

"It's true that he's still alive, but forget about introducing him. As for what you want to chat with him about, that's even more impossible..." Diarmait said after thinking for a while.

"No way? Does he really dislike me?" Dorag hesitated and said.

"Yes, that's right. I'm even quite disgusted with you as the rebel leader." Diarmuid said seriously.

"I'm clean now!" Dorag said unhappily, and then asked: "Who is it? Tell me, if it doesn't work, I'll go find it myself." "Imlia." Diarmuid said softly.

"Imlya? Is she a female wise man? I've never heard of her name. When did you meet her? Where did you meet her?" Dorag asked again.

"I met him three days ago, in the Abode of God." Borsalino said with a smile, his tone slightly teasing.

Dorag? ? ?

Imlia?

Three days ago?

The abode of God?

Then, Dorag was stunned and said, "You don't mean to say that this book of philosophical concepts with such unconventional and advanced ideas was written by Lord Im?" "Then you really guessed it right." Kuzan also said with a smile.

"Damn!" Dorag cursed and lost interest.

The elevator door opened, and directly opposite it was the door to the conference room.

At this time, there were already many people sitting in the conference room, densely packed.

When Diarmait got off the elevator and looked at the people inside, he had some strange thoughts in his mind.

An old era has ended just like that.

Eight hundred years of the old times.

And a new era is about to begin here.

How long will this era last?

“Interesting…” Diarmait said softly.

Then, the four of them walked into the conference room together.

Chapter 442 Diarmuid: Marshal, in this new era, there is no ship that can carry me!

The stage for the beginning of this new era is undoubtedly huge.

But Diarmait, the man who could be said to be the protagonist, did not go on stage to sing.

After the meeting started, he actually sat quietly in the navy camp, without saying anything or raising any opinions.

The topic of this conference is not a program for governing the world. To be honest, that is not very realistic.

At this stage, the main focus is to unify the framework.

Although Dorag was obviously very disappointed after learning that the book was written by Lord Im, he did not give up or change the ideas he supported in the book.

This stage seemed to be prepared for him.

"In the new alliance, power can no longer be concentrated in one place, one person, or even one organization. This is an absolute premise. The current Navy Admiral, Rodriguez Diarmait, once said that absolute power will bring absolute corruption. I agree with this point very much, and I also deeply believe that the reason why the former Mary Geoise faction fell into such a dark and evil situation is because the power we gave them was too huge, too concentrated, and too absolute!" Dorag stood on the podium and spoke to the people below.

Now it's his time to speak.

Dorag has been searching for this kind of stage and speaking time where he can communicate with countries around the world and express his thoughts and ideas one by one. He has been searching for this for most of his life.

Now I finally have this opportunity.

You know what, he performed really well.

If it is said that when he left the navy, he was still a bit "naive" and wanted to change the entire world's ruling order in one go.

Now, after enduring so many years of social beatings, he has long since learned to be down-to-earth.

That's right, a long time ago, one of Dorag's main ideas was to eliminate the royal power, build a society where everyone is equal, and allow the entire world to enter a new level.

Is it great?

The idea is great.

He actually did some of these things.

The results speak for themselves.

Diarmait didn't even dare to do such a fancy thing, so he wanted to eliminate the royal power? Are you kidding me?

Whatever you want to do in this world, things like pearls, that's really impossible.

First of all, the world’s power system is here. The strong are strong and the weak are weak. How can there be equality?

Not to mention royal power or anything like that. This is a pirate world with islands scattered all over the place. It's unrealistic to do such things.

Being able to have the idea of ​​"non-toxic food" is already advanced enough.

So in general, if you want to have a suitable way of operating in this loose world, you still cannot get away from the world's correct way of doing things. You really still need to establish a joint system.

Only the member state system can work!

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” Borsalino nudged Diarmuid with his elbow.

Diarmuid finally came to his senses. He really didn't hear what Dorag was saying. He was distracted the whole time.

"Huh? What's wrong with me?" After Diarmait came to his senses, he found that many people were looking at him.

"Doragu said you said something like 'absolute power corrupts absolutely'...Xia Ruoshuix+iaoshuo:975632410 has a great influence on you, and everyone is watching you." Borsalino whispered.

Diarmait finally realized what was happening and nodded, "Yes, Dorag is right."

Everyone? ? ?

After a perfunctory remark, Diarmait said: "I am a soldier, I don't have much to say on this matter, you continue."

Seeing that Diarmait had no intention of expressing his opinion, the others did not ask any questions.

Dorag continued his speech at the podium.

After he finished speaking, Marshal Zhan Guo also came up and began to explain his ideas and concepts about the navy.

"I believe you have all witnessed the effects of an army led and controlled by Tokugawa Masaharu over the past eight hundred years. Our navy does not wish to repeat the old path. Regarding the new world order and system construction, our navy does not wish to get involved too much. We also hope that everyone can build a new era through rational and equal negotiations. Here, I will only explain the basic concept, which is also the benchmark that our navy fundamentally adheres to. First, the navy is a righteous army with its own beliefs. Our belief is to uphold justice and maintain peace on the sea. Therefore, in this field, our navy does not want to be bound by any person or force. Second, the navy should maintain sufficient independence. Because it is too powerful, it should be more autonomous. Otherwise, once we are controlled by certain people, we will become a new weapon. Third, the financial power of the navy should be realized..."

Marshal Zhan Guo spoke righteously on the podium.

To be honest, many of them are not particularly reliable, but the navy is currently the largest and no one dares to object.

Diarmait continued to listen intermittently.

But what he was thinking about in his mind were not these things.

emptiness.

Yes, Diarmait felt a little empty at this moment.

It’s like I’ve accomplished a goal, or figured something out, but I still feel empty about the future and my next move.

Where does this feeling of emptiness come from?

If you think about it carefully, it was probably the moment when Lord Yimu left?

When he saw Imlia and saw her disappear from this world, Diarmait suddenly felt that the things he had been obsessed with seemed really meaningless.

Originally, he wanted to become the next naval marshal after the Warring States Period.

But now, the thought that had been lingering in his mind had faded a lot.

What's the point of being a naval marshal?

Ushering in the next era of the navy?

What do we gain by shouldering more power and responsibilities? Power?

Yes, I have always been pursuing strength and power. There is nothing to doubt about strength, but power...

He had enjoyed it, really enjoyed it, especially now, after defeating Mary Geoise. Diarmuid just sat here, and Dorag just mentioned his name, and the kings of the allied countries treated him with respect. This was power.

Perhaps there is a possibility of going further and becoming a new marshal, or even the position of chief marshal in the future.

But for some reason, Diarmait no longer had such thoughts.

Admiral, that's pretty good, isn't it?

That's all for now.

He tried hard to find words to summarize this idea, but finally thought of Lord Yim.

In her own words, she was 'tired of it'.

I am tired of my previous pursuit of power.

It was also at such a moment that Diarmait suddenly understood Lord Imu’s feelings. “How boring…” Diarmait suddenly murmured softly.

As he said this, Marshal Zhan Guo came down from the stage and walked over to him, preparing to sit down. Upon hearing this, Marshal Zhan Guo glared at Diarmait and said, "What? You think my speech is boring?" Diarmait?

"Hmm? What speech?" Diarmait responded, then said, "It has nothing to do with these things. I was just lamenting about myself. I suddenly realized how boring I am and how empty I am..."

"What a mess?" Marshal Zhan Guo muttered in confusion.

Before he could speak, Diarmait continued, "Marshal, who do you plan to give the position of marshal to next time?" It was the first time that Diarmait asked so directly.

Marshal Zhan Guo was also a little confused, but after a while he laughed and said, "What? You can't wait?"

After a brief pause, Marshal Zhan Guo said with some emotion, "Of course I'm leaning towards you, Diarmait. Your abilities, strength, vision, and way of thinking are all more suitable for the position of marshal than Sakaski. If I really have to choose between the two of you, I'll support you."

They were talking quite quietly, and Borsalino, who was standing nearby, overheard them and said, "What about me? I'm a general after all, right? Don't just ignore me at times like this, okay?"
