Pirate's Devouring Fruit

Chapter 79 Alliance
Although in the beginning, Gaius really just went out to help his friends and sold a batch of grain to Cobra at a low price.

But how could Dawn give up this opportunity to go out?

What's more, with such a geographical advantage as a large grain-producing country, even a person who didn't read much news to govern the country in his previous life would know how rich it is.

In the words of the game, this is at least a gold or even a diamond-level start. Coupled with the support of the navy and the way of practice, the advantages are simply explosive.

When the useless people travel here, as long as they don't die, and learn how to govern the country with the perspective of the previous life, it is absolutely no problem to be a handsome king for a lifetime.

With such a great advantage, Dawn naturally wouldn't let it go.

So Dawn took the initiative to suggest that he should establish a friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Alabasta, or even form an alliance, so as to increase the right to speak and influence in the World Conference.

In order to convince Gaius, Dawn also explained the various benefits of the establishment of diplomatic relations, and then expressed his willingness to be an envoy with Gaius' gratified expression, which finally gave Dawn the opportunity to go to sea to realize his plan.

And Gaius also informed Alabasta that heirs will go to the transaction through the phone bug, and the subconscious meaning conveyed by this move is already obvious.

Why did Gaius treat it as an ordinary transaction at the beginning, or even a favor between friends, and did not make the change of establishing diplomatic relations until Dawn reminded him?

Is it because Gaius is not a wise king?
No, it is already a very good monarch who can govern the country to this level of wealth.

In fact, it's just a matter of knowledge. Dawn's long-term knowledge is only because he watched a lot of news broadcasts in his previous life and lived in the era of information explosion.

In the past, because the Ishtar Kingdom's status in the North Sea was sufficient, although there were still countries around that would provoke wars because of their interests, it was undeniable that the Ishtar Kingdom had a great influence in the North Sea.

Under the habit of thinking, Gaius did not realize the benefits of establishing diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Alabasta, which was far away on the great route.

I sell food to everyone. I don’t value your special products very much, and selling them to neighboring countries can increase your influence, but Alabasta is too far away, and transportation alone is a big problem. Not to mention the risk of being plundered by pirates.

And part of the reason for this is that Cobra meets too rarely. After all, we meet once every four years, and our relationship is just because of ordinary friends with the same ideas, not close to the point of alliance.

But after being reminded by Dawn, Gaius discovered that it was not without benefits. Excluding the economic and trade brought about by the trade between the two countries after the establishment of diplomatic relations, the most obvious thing is that as an alliance, it will increase the right to speak in the world conference.

Although the two were mostly on the same front before, it is clear that after the establishment of diplomatic relations, both the alliance between the two countries and the relationship between the two will be more stable.

Perhaps the description of the World Conference in anime is not obvious, but the influence of the World Conference must not be underestimated.

The World Conference held every four years will cause commotion all over the world. Both the common people and the media are eagerly paying attention to the development of this conference.

And what they are discussing is about the major policies and structures of the world, but if you are not careful, there may be wars between countries!

In the anime, when Vivi was ten years old, she went to the World Conference with her father Cobra.

However, Cobra scolded Wapol on the spot for his selfish side in the meeting, and they ended up in trouble.

After the meeting, Wapole met Xiao Weiwei, and in a mentality of revenge, he slapped Weiwei to the ground.

In this kind of meeting where Tianlong people walk everywhere and kings are as numerous as dogs, even a little dispute may become the cause of war in the future.

The young Weiwei understood this, and in order not to trigger a war between the two countries, she forcibly endured Wapole's attack, and only cried out of pain after the opponent left.

From here, we can see how useful it is to form alliances between countries and have the right to speak and influence at world conferences.

Among other things, if Wapole dared to be so arrogant and the two kings attacked him together, it would be Wapole who should panic.

Even if the Kingdom of Ishtar is located in the North Sea, the same is true. After all, these are two countries, and fear is certain.

Therefore, although Dawn was carrying out his own plan for going out, he was not just a suggestion for going out, but he paid enough attention to it.

Dawn never ignores the influence of politics. Before he grows up, this is a good shelter.

Among other things, the principle of 1+1=2 is always clear.

Not to mention the influence of two countries standing behind them, even if it is just an alliance, it is far more deterrent than one country.

This kind of mutual benefit deserves the attention of both parties.

.......
When Dawn set off for the great route.

In the south of the Kingdom of Ishtar, there is such a country, which is called by the surrounding people, the kingdom of mercenaries - Kotal.

This is a paradise of chaos. Fights, brawls, murders, looting and other dark things can be seen everywhere, and even happen in this country all the time.

The weak people here can only do heavy and poorly paid work to solve food and clothing, while the strong accept employment to fight to make money.

The word peace is the supreme gospel for ordinary people.

But in this country, it is not good news for the mercenaries who depend on war for a living.

Now the entire North Sea is in a hurry because of the pirates' invasion. Every country is guarding against the rioting pirates. It has been a long time since they launched wars against the surrounding countries.

And those mercenaries who had received high wages lost their jobs.

This is intolerable because they, including the entire country, need war to feed themselves.

This is the concept from the king to the mercenaries.

In their eyes, it would be even more wonderful if there was a large-scale war, because their king was the leader of the entire mercenary group.

And the king will lead the whole country to participate in the war, so as to obtain money and materials to feed the chaotic country of Cottard.

As long as a war broke out, no matter who hired Cottard, he would accept it, which was very similar to the Vinsmoke family.

Although this country has abundant iron resources, they are all used to make weapons. The mined iron resources are cast into weapons and sold to the mercenaries below.

The mercenaries below are responsible for accepting employment in order to obtain money and supplies.

It can be said that almost all the people in this country are mercenaries, and it is an extremely deformed country.
