So Ajino took a deep breath and said, "We hope to work with the navy to wipe out the gangs on Yeligan Island."
Xia Zheteng laughed and said, "You guys are just dreaming."
"There are only over a hundred gang members in total. Do we really need to join forces? No, no, I have Capone and Lange from the 'Navy Gangs' to wipe out those gangs. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes."
Ajino was stunned for a long time. What? The Navy is under the control of the Mafia? What is this? The Mafia I'm talking about is the Capone and Lange families. What are you talking about?
"No, what I mean is that our two families will join forces to attack the Capone and Lange families?"
Xia Zheteng stretched out his hand to stop Ajino from speaking, and asked solemnly, "Let's not talk about the alliance first. Minister Ajino, I want to ask you, who gave you the courage to attack our navy? Even if you are an ally, when you go to war with our navy, we can also conclude that you have betrayed the alliance, and then we can directly destroy you."
Ajino was completely dumbfounded. How could he say that? I didn't want to attack the navy.
However, Xia Zheteng's next words finally made him understand the situation.
"The Capone and Lange families are gangs allowed under the 'navy gangs' system. They have the right to operate independently. As long as they don't attack the navy, don't take the initiative to attack our allies, and don't maliciously harass civilians, they are legal. Our navy will naturally not eliminate legal existence."
"But they are a threat to our alliance."
"No, didn't I tell you that they are not allowed to attack your allies first? What's the danger? Just don't go out and seek death. Of course, if they attack you first, you can ask us for help. Don't worry, I will destroy them when I come back."
Ajino shook his head. He no longer maintained his so-called gentlemanly demeanor. He didn't understand why he became like this.
Everything Xia Zheteng said sounded so unbelievable, yet seemed to make sense. What was going on?
Forget it, it seems that this matter can no longer be explained, so let’s talk about something else.
"Oh, in that case, I won't talk about the two gangs. I heard that Capone and Lange only collect 80% of the original membership fees, and you return the other 20% to the civilians. Is that right?"
"Yes, that's true."
Ajino smiled and said, "In that case, why not give us the 20% membership fee? After all, it is really useless for the navy to take the 20% membership fee, but we can give the 20% membership fee to the Celestial Dragons."
Xia Zheteng also smiled and said, "We have already given the 20% to the civilians, so our navy has nothing to do with it. If you want it, it's no use telling me. You have to tell Capone and the Lange family. After all, they are the ones who collect the membership fees."
"But isn't this a concession from the Navy?"
"Yeah, it's already been given away, so we don't care."
"But isn't it the 'navy under the mafia' system for Capone and the Lange family?"
"Yes, the system gives them some autonomy. Collecting membership fees is also their own decision. It has nothing to do with the Navy."
"I..." Ajino just felt a tightness in his chest. After talking for a long time, why did he come here in vain today and not get anything done?
"Oh, by the way, let me remind you again, you guys went to discuss this with Capone and the Lange family, this is not our business, but if you guys start fighting because of this, then it will be judged that you were the first to start, and we can't do anything about it."
Ajino took a deep breath and understood at once that it would be very difficult to collect the 20% membership fee.
Chapter 18 The Real Target in the West Sea
Ajino was sent away by Kaji. Before leaving, he was still unwilling to talk to Xia Zheteng again, but Xia Zheteng dismissed him by saying that he was busy with work.
Of course, Xia Zheteng also asked Jiaji to send the people out and then go find Langji Beiai and Capen Lostan to come over, as he had something to ask them.
After Kaji and Ajino left, Jiyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Will this offend the world's nobles?"
"No." Xia Zheteng said with a smile, "The situation in the West Sea is known to the world's nobles better than we do. They will not take any action because of this small allied country."
Ji Yuan laughed. She could see that Xia Zheteng would rather give benefits to civilians than to the Celestial Dragons.
Looking at Xia Zheteng's back, Ji Yuan felt that this young governor would definitely achieve great things in the future.
It was almost noon when Ranji Baiai and Capen Lostan arrived.
It was still the same reception room they were in three months ago, with the same wine and food, but this time, the two of them felt completely different.
And they didn't bring many people with them, just two assistants, and the atmosphere at the table was quite harmonious.
After three rounds of drinks, Xia Zheteng stood up.
"I'm leaving this island."
Both Bei Ai and Lostan were shocked. The governor was the backer of their two families. If he left, then...
"Don't worry, I am still the Governor of the West Sea. I am just leading the team away from this island. If you want to come back, I can come back at any time."
Only then did Bei Ai and Lostan feel relieved.
"Before I leave, there are two things I want to tell you. You must do them for me."
"You say." Be'ai and Lostan stood up, saying that they would do their best. Their adjutants also stood up. Becky beside Lostan had shining eyes. He admired this governor, who was a real man of the sea.
"First, no matter when, no matter how powerful you are, you must insist on charging civilians only the current membership fee and not increase it."
Be'ai and Lostan scratched their heads, thinking that the governor would ask them for something, but they didn't expect it to be this.
"As long as you hold on, I can protect you while I am here. As for when I leave, I will try my best to make it clear to the next governor."
"understood."
"The second thing is that in three days, all 16 teams will move out. After we leave, you must occupy this place as soon as possible and build a new town here. It will become a port town. You should understand that you still have a wider territory. The sea and the surrounding islands will all be places for you to fight for. Therefore, this port is very important."
"Understood." Their eyes brightened.
There are two ports on the entire Yeligan Island, one is the port of this naval base, and the other is on the side of the Gangili Alliance.
Otherwise, they would not be trapped on this big island. If they had their own port town, then the later plans could be carried out.
They were also discussing that the island would soon be unified between their two families, but how would they go out to sea? The port would soon be available.
Xia Zheteng looked at them and said, "If you can't do the first thing well, I will come back to destroy you at any time. As for the second thing, if you can't do it well, you deserve to be destroyed."
Both Bei Ai and Lostan laughed, and finally gave a not-so-standard military salute: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
Gangsters are gangsters, and even their salutes are poor. Never mind, they have been beaten with sticks and given candies, so it’s time to go.
……
At the Navy Headquarters, a report was first passed to Vice Admiral Tsuru, then to Admiral Sengoku, and finally placed on the desk of Marshal Kong Gu.
"Great, a great 'navy against gangsters' system." Cyborg Kong punched the desk. If he hadn't restrained his strength, the desk would have exploded.
"Yes, although it seems unreasonable at first glance, the success of Yeligan Island has proved that this strategy is feasible. At least, there are no more gang wars on Yeligan Island." Zhan Guo also smiled and nodded in agreement.
He also nodded and said, "Using gangs to fight gangs, we will eventually form a few largest gangs, which will be easier to control and will also reduce gang wars to some border areas. In this way, management will be simpler. It is a good strategy. Xia Zheteng is a talent."
"Haha, I don't know about other things, but the 20% profit margin and not leaving any for the Allied Powers is pretty good, haha." Cap laughed happily.
"Garp, don't say too much about certain things." Sengoku reminded.
"I don't care about that. I'm just happy." Garp swallowed a senbei in one gulp and swallowed it down with a few crunchy bites.
Kong, Sengoku and Tsuru all ignored Garp and did not respond to his words, but the three of them knew in their hearts that this was indeed a beautiful move.
They restrained each other, but took the navy out.
"Leave the West Sea to him. It won't be a big problem. The key is that place."
Marshal Kong said this and the entire venue fell silent. Although there was no powerful existence there, it was a huge threat to the World Government, and even to the Celestial Dragons.
Some remarks have already reached the navy, and it is clear that the World Government is really anxious.
"I won't get involved in this." Karp stood up and said angrily.
Crane also sighed.
Zhan Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Should we target their expedition team first? If we can stop them from studying the main text of history, maybe we can..."
Marshal Kong pondered for a while and finally sighed.
……
In the West Sea, three days passed quickly. Six naval warships set sail and soon disappeared on the sea level.
The former No. 16 branch of the West Sea Navy was soon occupied by the Lange and Capone families. These two families finally had a platform to go out to sea.
Soon, the navy's warships stopped at the new island, Omyak Island.
The third largest island in the West Sea, its area is larger than Yeligan Island.
The Lostan Empire, an allied country, is here.
This island is also one of the few islands where there are no gangs and only the navy and pirates pass through.
Because this place is not only the only way to enter the Great Route from the West Sea, but also the cultural island of the entire West Sea. It is also one of the rare spiritual capitals in this area of the West Sea.
Maybe it's because there are only scholars here, even the pirates passing by here are all honest and generally don't cause trouble on this island.
After all, there is a naval branch on this island, the 113th Branch, which is known as the strongest in the West Sea.
Xia Zheteng chose this place because of the nearest island - O'Hara Island.
That is the real purpose of coming to Xihai this time.
Chapter 19 The previous governor was Sakaski
The 113th Branch of the West Sea Navy. When Xia Zheteng and Jiyuan Jiaji arrived here, someone was already there to greet them at the port.
After getting off the boat, a lieutenant colonel came forward and saluted.
"Colonel Godul is waiting for you in his office."
Hmm? Xia Zheteng looked at the lieutenant colonel who came to report. This Colonel Ge Duer was a little interesting. It didn't matter if he didn't come to greet him. After all, the affairs of a branch were quite busy.
But he was not busy with work, but waiting in the office. He wanted to give himself a warning.
Although this is the strongest branch in the West Sea and has made considerable achievements, this colonel may not understand that his strength is still far from enough.
Jiyuan and Kake also frowned, not understanding what the colonel meant.
"Take us there."
"Commanders, please go on your own. We have other tasks to do..."
Buzz, the powerful domineering color made all the naval soldiers around faint, leaving only the lieutenant colonel standing in front of him.
Are these soldiers busy? Xia Zheteng said he couldn't tell at all, they were just there to watch the fun.
Xia Zheteng loves to watch the fun, but he doesn't want to be the one watching the fun.
"Lieutenant Colonel, the three of us are currently the governor and deputy governor of the West Sea, and the one who wants to intimidate us is just a branch leader."
The lieutenant colonel shuddered, feeling in his heart that his colonel's command this time had probably hit a wall.
I don’t know what he was thinking, actually competing with such an evil star.
"Yes, yes, I understand." The lieutenant colonel was sweating profusely and had to turn around and lead the way.
"Gadolla Godul, a captain of the Marine Branch, is the user of the Disassembly Fruit. Anything he touches will be disassembled into parts. For humans, it means he can disassemble their bones."
As Ji Yuan walked, he told the colonel's information.
"So, this guy is first-rate at destruction, but an idiot at construction?"
Ji Yuan didn't respond, but the lieutenant colonel in front was helpless. What Xia Zheteng said was not wrong.
At this time, in the largest office of Branch 113.
Ge Duer twirled a pistol and said to himself with disdain, "Hmph, the Governor of the West Sea is just a guy who doesn't dare to take action. He has been here for more than two months, but he just uses the gangs to lead the charge. What a coward."
"So you're pretty courageous."
Xia Zheteng's voice was heard from outside, and then three brigadier generals entered Ge Duer's office.
Ge Duer's face turned cold because he saw the lieutenant colonel leading the way in front.
"Aren't you going to let them come by themselves? Why are you leading the way?" Colonel Godul looked at the lieutenant colonel coldly.
Xia Zheteng's eyes narrowed.
To be honest, this kind of colonel must be cleaned up.
Xia Zheteng had seen people who refused to obey their superiors' management.
For example, Smoker is a problem child.
But Smoker only doesn't give face to anyone when he is upholding his principles of justice, instead of showing off his power all the time.
At the same time, Smoker fights bravely. Whether he can win or not is another matter. Just fight, and he will also protect his men.
And this Colonel Godul actually threatened his subordinates. Such a man deserves to be beaten.
"Colonel Godul, what should you do when you meet your superior? Hasn't anyone taught you?"
