Sailing: The Most Rigid Marine Marshal In History

Alabasta Royal Palace.

At a low table, Cobra and Karl sat facing each other.

There are several cups of tea in front of you.

"I've already read the content of your military reform. It's really good. Although it's a bit rushed, it's relatively acceptable."

Cobra holds a cup of tea, under the curling white steam.

He looked at the young and promising young man in front of him.

When he saved Alabasta, he knew that this young man would achieve a great career in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that less than a year later, Karl became the Marine Marshal and the top leader of the most violent organization at sea.

Its strength and the rapid rise in status are unheard of even by the well-informed Cobra.

"Is it still acceptable?"

Karl was slightly surprised by Cobra's words.

You know, when he proposed reforms in Marine, almost every one was strongly opposed by Sengoku and the Marine executives.

But here in Cobra, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Karl asked out the doubts in his heart.

Cobra smiled softly: "This is the difference in the position and the things you see. Naturally, Sengoku and Crane's wisdom is higher than mine, but their vision and perspective are completely different from mine. of."

"Look, your military reform can be summed up in two points."

"One is to combat slavery, and the other is to abolish the privileges of the world government and nobility."

Cobra opened the World Economic Newsstand on the tea table and pointed to the content on it.

"From the perspective of the Marine executives, these two reforms are too radical, because they have offended the World government and nobles, and they have mastered the power in the world."

"A large part of Marine's power also comes from the support of these powers. If you offend them, Marine's life will be very difficult."

"This view is certainly correct, but if you analyze it carefully from the perspective of a politician, you will find that it is not as serious as imagined."

"For example, combating slavery is the prerogative of all nobles in the world, but it is not absolute. Not all nobles will buy slaves, especially the royal families of most kingdoms."

"The royal family's demand for slaves is not high, and slave trade is not on the table after all. Once it is exposed, it will greatly damage the personal prestige. Therefore, apart from the Celestial Dragons, those who really like slaves are those who have power but are not. The nobles of the royal family."

"From this point of view, the fight against slavery will not offend most of the royal families in the kingdom, but only some nobles and Celestial Dragons. Even speaking, your reform will gain a large part, including some of us. Such a king's approval."

"As far as I know, the kings of many countries are decent and hate slavery. They will not offend the Celestial Dragons for you, but they are indeed forces you can win over. I will give you a list after a while."

"Thank you, Uncle Cobra."

Karl thanked him.

Cobra is indeed very powerful. If it was him, he would go there with the mentality that it doesn't matter even if he offends most of the nobles of the country.

After all, the great thing is that the military expenditure has been reduced, and he has already prepared ways to obtain military expenditure from other places.

Although Karl dealt with the consequences of combating slavery, what Cobra said obviously turned this matter into a decision that could benefit Marine.

Sure enough, a family with an old man is like a treasure.

Cobra has been the king of a great country for so many years, and he sees problems from a more unique and comprehensive perspective than Sengoku and Crane.

"You and I still say thank you, don't say you saved Alabasta, just between you and Vivi, when we get married, I will change my words when the time comes, haha."

Cobra laughed.

Karl couldn't help scratching his chin.

For him to change his name to Cobra as Dad, he still needs to be mentally prepared.

After all, when watching the original work, the seemingly stable king in front of him is actually very out of the way of boredom in his heart.

After talking and joking, Cobra also said the second point.

In other words, the World government's right to deploy troops to the Marine and the privileges of the nobility are stripped away.

"It seems to me that what you did was a little radical, and there are quite a few flaws."

Cobra said.

"It's not because of the World government and Celestial Dragons, but because you stripped the privileges of other nobles, which is actually unnecessary."

"I have heard about the privileges of Celestial Dragons in Marine. Ordinary kingdom nobles should not have much privilege in Marine."

"You mean to retain the privileges of the nobility? That's all."

Karl rubbed his chin and mused.

"This would be better, because nobles don't have many privileges against Marines, and Celestial Dragons have too many privileges. If you want, you can take the privileges for ordinary nobles as an unspoken rule."

"After all, Marine soldiers have the power to resist ordinary nobles, but if you put it on the bright side, it's a little bad. Even if you don't have many privileges, once you strip them, those nobles will definitely have trouble with Marine. Great dissatisfaction."

Cobra took a sip of the tea lightly, and said lightly.

"You have to know who your real enemy is, or who is the primary enemy. It is the World government, not the nobles or even the royal family of ordinary kingdoms."

"After solving the World government, these royal families are just a mess, and if you fight against the World government without infringing on their interests, these nobles will become your help instead."

"The world government is above the franchise countries, but this does not mean that the world government and the franchise countries are of one mind. This is impossible. Even the franchise countries want to carve up the power of the world government. This is the mechanism of the world government It is a phenomenon that must exist.”

What Cobra said was honestly a bit of a betrayal of his own class.

But he is such a person, he and King Liku can be said to be strange and different among kings.

They really regard the saying that the country is the people as the principle of life.

They are all able to give up the throne for the sake of the people. Even the revolutionary army whose goal is to overthrow the aristocratic rule, has the highest respect for a king like Cobra.

He is using decades of king experience to teach Karl how to deal with his own class thoroughly and effectively.
