Chapter 189 Clockwork Island! Dusky and Ace debut!(1/2)
"These two are residents of the Clockwork Island under the jurisdiction of the 23rd Division of the Navy. They said they would come and thank you in person."
“Clockwork Island?”
Lister looked at the couple in front of him. They had a haircut like feces, wore a white coat, and dressed as a scientific researcher.
"Well, our Clockwork Island is famous for its expertise in making mechanical products powered by clockwork. It is a world-famous place of clockwork. However, a few years ago, the playing card brothers occupied the Clockwork Island and forced us to produce and make weapons for them. If we do not obey King Bear's orders, he will destroy the Clockwork Island." said the woman wearing glasses.
The man took over the conversation and said, "Two days ago, we saw a newspaper saying that the playing card brothers had been captured by you and your subordinates and had been tried. We drove the pirates left on the island out of their homes and the Clockwork Island was liberated. In order to thank you for your kindness and righteous actions, everyone recommended us to come to your territory and thank you in person."
"You don't have to be so kind. I didn't help you. The poker pirates attacked my port and would be captured by us," Liszt said.
"No, no, if we were not for you, we would have been threatened by the playing card brothers. Perhaps this was just a trivial matter for you, but for us, it was you who saved our island." The man said with a humble tone.
Although Lister just sat casually, it still gave them a kind of pressure. This pressure was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was the fear brought by the blood-stained guillotine in Glev Square.
Liszt smiled and said, "The poker card has opened a military factory on your island, does the Navy care?"
"We don't know this."
Liszt pondered, he guessed that the Poker Pirates and the Navy at the 23rd Branch Base had secretly come and go.
The arms trade is no more relevant than other commodities. It does not mean that it can be sold if it is produced.
"You are very good at mechanical craftsmanship?"
"Um!"
"In this case, I think we can cooperate." Lister smiled and said, "The machines in our group factory need some precision mechanical parts. If you can produce them, I can hand over this part of the business to you."
"This..." The poop-headed couple looked at each other, hesitating.
Because they were coerced by the Poker Pirates and had been living a nervous life, they were prepared for it without knowing Liszt.
"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly, I won't force you." Liszt said.
"We cannot make decisions about this matter, so we have to go back and discuss with everyone." said the poop couple.
"Yes, I will send someone to escort you back."
The poop-headed couple returned to Clockwork Island and said Liszt's proposal. After fierce discussions among the residents on the island, they finally agreed to cooperate with the Arkham Group to produce mechanical parts for the Arkham Group.
The residents of Clockwork Island agreed, on the one hand, because they felt that although the Poker Pirates were destroyed, who knows if there would be a second Poker Pirates?
In this era of great pirates, pirates are just leeks. Once they have cut, there will be another one. Instead of being nervous about defending the thief every day, it is better to surrender to a powerful force and seek shelter.
On the other hand, because the Arkham Group has a good reputation, a good reputation, and can make money, the residents are not very resistant.
The parts processing factory on Clockwork Island does not need to be built, but it can be transformed directly on the basis of the ordnance factory.
After the first batch of parts were produced, the technicians from each branch inspected it and found that the parts hand-produced by residents of Clockwork Island were higher in all aspects, whether in terms of accuracy or accuracy than those produced by their own company.
This is the talent. The residents of Clockwork Island have been exposed to various gears and mechanical parts since childhood. The workers they trained are much better than other workers.
The cooperation to win the Clockwork Island is of great significance to the Arkham Group, and these workers are all treasures!
Some people think it’s too exaggerated. Is it that important just a component?
In fact, there is!
A machine is composed of every part, and the more refined the machine, the higher the accuracy requirements for the parts, especially in the production of precision instruments, sometimes a part is related to the performance and quality of the instrument.
The high accuracy of parts can improve the performance of the machinery and extend the life of the machinery.
Sometimes, a loosening of a screw will ruin a billion-dollar project.
Shortly after the Arkham Group ships entered the Clockwork Island, the commander of the 23rd Navy branch had a dialogue with Lister through Brigadier General Brynblin, and the two sides reached a friendly agreement on the Clockwork Island issue.
New World, an island.
Amid laughter, a group of pirates sat together and held a banquet.
"Captain, this is today's news. The front page headlines come from Donghai."
"oh?"
The one-armed man put down his wine glass, took the news and glanced at it, then laughed, and said, "Liszt, this guy is quite capable! Come and make a name for our friends, have a drink!"
"oh!"
The one-armed man put down the newspaper and drank with everyone again.
Doflamingo's ship arrived in Deresaros and came to greet Torrepol, Pika and other cadres.
"Torrepol, are you ready for the island I asked you to prepare?" Doflamingo asked as he got off the boat.
"Of course. I said, I said, what should I do when preparing the island?" Torrepole asked in confusion.
“Enjoy a guest!”
Alabastan.
Clokdal set foot on this desert country, and with him were several Arkham Group merchant ships.
Liszt wants to cooperate with Clockdal, so of course it’s not just a joke.
Alabastan is mainly composed of desert terrain, with a vast land and sparsely populated area. The main cities of Albana, rapeseed flowers, rain land, etc. are distributed along the Santola River with a population of nearly 20 million. It has world-famous perfumes and various strange animals.
Moreover, Alabastan has abundant minerals and huge reserves, and minerals are an indispensable resource for territories that have begun industrialization.
Liszt guessed that Clockdal's thoughts were nothing more than testing Liszt's understanding of "Pluto" through cooperation.
Is Clockdale stupid to take the initiative to bring his opponent in?
Clockdal is obviously not stupid. Instead of being on guard against Lister, it is better to bring Lister to the open, put uncontrollable factors under your nose and monitor it.
I'm in the open, and you're in the open, so Clockdal doesn't have to worry about Liszt stabbing him secretly, which will affect his plan.
Because Alabastan is Klokdal's home court, he is confident of controlling Liszt's movements.
Magnetic drum island.
Dalton and Gonsey gathered in the tavern.
Since Cromalimon introduced Gonsey to Dalton last time, the two have become friends.
Dalton showed concern and said, "There are more and more people's dissatisfaction with the king. I'm so scared, one day..."
Dalton has complained to Gonsi once. Under King Valbo's rule, the people's lives are getting worse and worse. If they are sick, they have nowhere to cure them. They can only ask King Valbo, and it depends on whether he is in a good mood. If he is in a good mood, he will be treated by the doctor. If he is in a bad mood, he will not be cured even if he has money.
Gongxi smiled slightly and said, "What if you were to be king?"
Dalton was stunned and looked at Gongsi.
"A softhearted heart without boundaries will only make the other party more demanding; a kindness without principles will only make the other party do whatever he wants."
Gongxi was very tempted and said, "Is your loyalty loyal to the king or the people?"
The Navy Headquarters, a seminar on how to treat Arkham Lister, continues.
Although Sakasky expressed dissatisfaction with Liszt's public trial of the pirates and scolded him, he targeted the branches and bases of the East China Sea, accusing the commanders of the branches and bases of the branches and bases of the people, and demanded that the positions be changed for the commanders of the East China Sea.
The Marshal Warring States hand put his chin on his face and quietly watched Sakasky's performance, and by the way, he put the expressions of everyone in the conference room into his eyes.
Cap held his hands and leaned back slightly. Those who didn't know thought he was thinking, but those who were close could hear his snoring.
There is only one person who dares to fall asleep at such a meeting.
Kizaru had a vulgar face, pressing his little fingers against his nose, and he looked like he was hanging high without any matter.
Kuzan has a cold face. He is at the Navy headquarters and doesn't deal with Sakaski much. He has basically no communication and cannot be matched with ice and fire!
The two's grudges are traced back to the O'Hara incident. He saw what Sakasky did, was confused by the justice that the navy insisted on, and was also dissatisfied with Sakasky's behavior. For this reason, Kuzan lets Nicole Robin go and helps her escape from O'Hara.
Nicole Robin escaped, causing the O'Hara incident that should have been resolved successfully, so that Sakaski was criticized. Sakaski also knew that Nicole Robin could escape, which should have something to do with Kuzan. After all, it was too abnormal for Kuzan to kill Haguval D. Sauro but failed to keep Nicole Robin. It was just that Sakaski had no evidence, but the conflict between the two laid the groundwork.
In his later naval career, Sakaski and Kuzan represented the hawks and doves of the navy respectively. As the leading figures of the two factions, the relationship naturally became increasingly tense.
Lieutenant General Crane sat quietly, his eyes containing profound wisdom.
Gion sat upright and felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was unusual.
Intermission.
Gion and Lieutenant General Gion gathered, and Gion asked his doubts.
Lieutenant General Crane smiled and said, "Actually, the discussion of this seminar is not Liszt, but the hawks led by Sakasky, who took the opportunity to attack and embarrass the Warring States Marshal."
"The world government issued a medal of honor and nobles to Liszt, which is a recognition. Even if the navy is dissatisfied, it cannot attack him. It is a slap in the face of the world government. What's more, no matter how threat Liszt will have in the future, at present, he is still a person from the world government and the navy, and is a banner to fight against pirates. As a just navy, it is even more impossible to attack him."
Lieutenant General He said: "Sakasky also knows this very well, but why did he still hold on? His dissatisfaction was actually targeting the Marshal of the Warring States Period. The peaceful pirate alliance in the East China Sea was undoubtedly the inaction of the East China Sea Navy. As the Supreme Commander of the Navy, the Warring States Period was unable to ensure peace in the East China Sea, which was even more a manifestation of dereliction of duty. At this time, Sakasky proposed to switch the commander of the branch base, in order to raise his own people and expand his influence within the navy."
Zhiyuan suddenly realized and said, "Sister He is saying that General Sakaski is paving the way for his future?"
"That's right, whether it is the Warring States Period, Karp, or I, they are almost retired. How many years can the Warring States Period be in the position of Marshal? Now the headquarters continues to promote new people, which is to undergo blood replacements between new and old. Among the three generals, Porusalino has always been unpredictable and belongs to a neutral swaying faction, so he has little chance of becoming a Marshal. The rest are Sakaski and Kuzan. Sakaski is valued by the world government in some matters and is close to the five old stars. Kuzan has been recognized by the Warring States Period, Karp and other naval leaders. Both sides are playing against each other and making efforts!"
General He was worried that when any force changes its power, there will be a great turmoil. The battle between Sakaski and Kuzan has shown signs. Their fight not only involves internal factions of the navy, but also involves the rights game between the top naval leaders and the world government. It can be foreseen that if it is not handled well, the battle between Sakaski and Kuzan will bring serious internal friction and losses to the navy.
A warship arrived at Marinfando, and Smog came down from the warship, and two navies behind him were escorting Trejay.
Tregg was the pirate captain captured by Smoger, so after fighting for the battle in Navy, Liszt gave in and handed over the Tregg Pirates to the Navy for handling.
Officials from the Justice Island have been waiting at the port and immediately handed over to Smoger after Tregg got off the ship.
"Smog!"
