Chapter 185 After the war! Some miscellaneous things!
The pirates attacked the port for nearly an hour. In the end, without Liszt showing up, the power cultivated by the group and territory over the years defeated the Clipper Pirates, the Poker Pirates, the Treje Pirates, the Golden Pirates and other "big pirates" that traverse the East China Sea.
The various pirate groups fled in scattered areas, and Lei Banto, commander of the Coast Defense Self-Defense Force, joined forces with the police department to launch the arrest work.
These fleeing pirates are a hidden danger. Once they lurk in the city and cause chaos, they will cause great trouble to public security.
Immediately afterwards, the city hall began to appease the people and tourists and count the losses.
A series of work is carried out, and Liszt no longer requires orders, so there will naturally be relevant departments to deal with it.
It can be said that after several years of running-in, the Viscount Arkham has become a machine that can operate independently. What Liszt needs to do is not to care about how the machine operates, but to take it in which direction.
And this is also a reflection of Liszt's layout and initial results.
After the battle, Kokoxia City resumed lively again. The incident of pirate attacking Hong Kong did not affect the opening of the recruitment festival at all. Instead, it added a lot of topics to talk to everyone, and at the same time, it was more awe of Arkham's power.
"Fufufufu, didn't you take action? Interesting, it's really interesting!"
In the tavern, Doflamingo, who heard the news, laughed and looked at Gion squintly, saying, "Do you want it? I'll try this guy's appearance for you?"
Gion stood up and said coldly: "Don't do anything random!"
"Fufufufufufufu!"
Doflamingo looked at Gion leaving and laughed loudly.
Baby-5 asked with a cigarette in his mouth, "What does she mean?"
"She means that as long as we don't do anything, she won't interfere with us and Bat Boy," said Doflamingo.
"Why? She just stopped us." Bafaro was puzzled.
"Fufufufu, just now, now now. It seems that Lieutenant General Crane has also set his sights on Bat Boy, so Gion will appear here, but they are the navy and cannot take action openly. If it were us, it wouldn't matter." Doflamingo analyzed the matter thoroughly in a few words.
"So, the war is finally going to start!" Baby-5 grabbed the giant weapon behind him, feeling murderous intent.
Doflamingo smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it is a good thing for us to be targeted by a crane. We can get less trouble. So, he still has value in use and cannot die."
"Tsk!" Baby-5 spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said impatiently: "What should I do?"
Doflamingo has been with these cadres for more than ten years, knowing their personalities and tempers, not getting angry at Baby-5's rudeness, and said to Diamanti: "You go and talk to him, do you want to join forces with us."
"Dover, are you going to join forces with that kid?" Diamanty was surprised.
"Fufufufu, it depends on whether he has the ability." Doflamingo said with a smile.
"Our business is mainly in the New World, Beihai. If we can use this Arkham Group to expand our business to the East China Sea and the South China Sea, it will be a good choice."
Diamanti followed Doflamingo for many years, immediately heard what he meant and smiled and said, "This is a good idea."
The so-called cooperation often requires equality and equal strength. If one party is weak, then cooperation is not just cooperation.
Especially for violent gangs like Doflamingo, as long as the partner shows a little weakness, he will definitely find a way to take a bite.
Doflamingo is clearly here, so why don’t he talk to Liszt directly, but ask Diamanti to go?
First of all, Doflamingo was contemptuous of Liste. Because Liste was born in the East China Sea and was still young, he would definitely look down on Liste a little and think that he was not qualified to talk to him. This is a mentality that everyone has. It is basically the same as the big city people look down on rural people and the older generations look down on younger generations.
Second, Diamanti will go to the talk. If Diamanti and Liszt have a breakdown in the negotiation, he can still come forward to save it, leaving himself room for advance and retreat.
"The Navy wants to take people away? No, I'll hold them all for me. Those Navy are going to cause trouble for you and ask them to come to me. Without my permission, no pirate can leave the port!"
Liszt put down the microphone.
The pirate attack on the port caused considerable damage to the port and Penguin Street. In addition to these open losses, the medical expenses of the injured soldiers, compensation for the soldiers who died in battle, commendations from the soldiers who made meritorious service, and compensation from some shops, all of which were a considerable number.
Liszt planned to get this money back from these pirates, so how could he easily hand it over to the Navy?
What's more, in addition to economic considerations, these pirates have other uses, so they cannot be handed over to the Navy.
Gion, Smog and other naval forces met. Seeing Gion's slightly stern face, Smog asked, "Don't he agree?"
"Not agreed!" Tina answered for Gion.
Smoger thought for a while and said, "That guy is different from others. He is a very opinionated person. Moreover, these pirates were captured by his people, and it has nothing to do with us. As long as you catch them, it will be the same in anyone's hands."
"How do you help him?" Tina said dissatisfied.
"Isn't it natural for the pirates to be dealt with by the Navy?"
Tina was angry. Not only her, but also the navy who came with her was angry. As an elite from the headquarters, when encountering pirates, it must be the main force. But Liszt hired them but did not let them do the serious business (killing pirates), but protected the people and retreated. They had never done this kind of work in the headquarters of the Navy, and they were all doing it.
Suddenly, I felt discriminated against and naturally felt dissatisfied.
Smoger heard their anger and scratched his head with some headaches.
Gion glanced at Smog and asked, "Do you know very well about the Arkham Group?"
“Learn a little!”
Smog nodded. When he came to the East China Sea, it was the time when the Arkham Group rose. At that time, after hearing about the tacit understanding between the Arkham Group and the pirates, he suspected that the other party was a pirate group, so he moved his friend Dadi to join the city hall.
In the past two years, Dadi has indeed provided Smog with some information, so Smog's understanding of the Arkham Group is definitely more profound than Gion who has only read the documents and information.
"Then tell me."
Gion had not communicated much with Smog before. First of all, she didn't know what kind of person Smog was at that time. Had she received bribes from the Arkham Group. Too much words would lead to mistakes. She was worried and would definitely not say much.
After observing these days, Gion felt that although Smog had a hot temper and liked to contradict his boss, he was an upright navy, unlike those borers in the branch, so he had trust.
Secondly, the task of the park is not the decision of the headquarters, but the personal behavior. It is just a concern of Lieutenant General He, so it is naturally inconvenient to publicize it.
However, when I personally set foot on this land, I found that the situation here was more complicated than paper materials.
Smoger told Chien-chan about what he knew, and finally concluded: "There are fewer pirates going to the Great Route in the East China Sea. Our department thought it was my credit, but in fact, it was the emergence of the Arkham Group that encircled the pirates in the East China Sea."
"You want to be a luxury agent?"
In the Lord's Mansion, Liszt hosted Prince Louis and Doug Fry.
"right!"
After the Pirate Alliance retreated, the two immediately came to the lord's mansion to visit Liszt.
Liszt looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "In Shangyan Business, what are the identities of the two of them? Is it Levis Business or their respective chambers of commerce? If it is Levis Business, I'm sorry, my people have just found out that there are some old nobles behind this Pirate Alliance. I will not cooperate with Levis Business until I find out. If it is your respective chambers of commerce..."
"We are not in alliance with the Pirates..." Crown Prince Louis subconsciously wanted to defend himself.
Doug Fry immediately interrupted the Crown Prince Louis and said: "Of course it is the Blue Flora Chamber of Commerce and the White Rose Chamber of Commerce!"
Crown Prince Louis glanced at Doug Fry, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
Liszt smiled and said, "Okay, since the two of you are sincerely working together, you can talk."
After walking out of the lord's mansion, Prince Louis frowned and said, "This is different from what we said. If we work alone, other chambers of commerce will definitely be dissatisfied."
"Dissatisfied? Then you are dissatisfied. Didn't you hear what Liszt mean? He wouldn't cooperate with Levis Trading. If it were me, he wouldn't cooperate, because there was a direct conflict of interest between the two parties. Who would have idiots to use his own things to fight for the enemy?" Doug Fry said.
"But, he cooperated alone, that's not..."
"Yes, he is just dividing and disintegrating Levis's business. The same thing, I don't think we can get through the Arkham Group by holding each other together. They want money and people. They just killed more than ten pirates, and they are in full swing! Do you really think there are no other family suggestions behind those pirates?"
Doug Fry smiled.
Crown Prince Louis frowned.
"The commerce of the pirate group must have helped them sell the stolen goods. After a while, the two sides had contact. Some pirate groups, even chambers of commerce, supported them and used them specifically to deal with hostile chambers of commerce."
Doug Fry said: "So, he said there is a shadow of nobles behind this Pirate Alliance, I believe."
Seeing that Prince Louis was still frowning, Doug Fry said bluntly: "I know you are different from us. You want to do something to pave the way for yourself, but think about who is supporting the old king's agricultural tax reform now? You are in the Levis Trading Company, just going through the motions. There is no need to raise yourself and tie it up. Only the money bag has the right to speak!"
Prince Louis suddenly realized, yes, his goal was the king, and he was either to be the president of Levis Trading for the rest of his life. To put it bluntly, his position at Levis Trading was just gilding, and he would be able to stabilize and not be messed up.
From the perspective of the crown prince, the Arkham Group is actually the target he wants to win over!
