"This guy is so crazy, his good days are numbered!"
Charlotte looked at the news in the newspaper and made a judgment in his heart.
You should know that more than 170 member states around the world need to pay huge amounts of "sky gold" every year, which is the largest source of funds to support the world government.
Bondi World's massive attacks on member states directly threatened the World Government's funds, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the World Government. The subsequent tragedy was not difficult to predict.
There are more than 170 member states in the world!
This is a huge amount of money that is simply unimaginable, and the world government just took the money quietly. They are definitely experienced in making money from people.
If you don't hand it over, then I'm sorry, the spies will mess up the country and cause civil unrest. Whether it's for your own rule or the safety of the kingdom, you can only ask for help from the navy.
Sorry, you have to pay!
Charlotte had to admit that the World Government had mastered this skill to perfection. He had to admire it!
In this way, not only can the strength of other kingdoms be weakened, but also the control over the member states can be strengthened, creating a subtle influence, and it can also easily accumulate one's own wealth.
Using resources from various countries to enrich oneself is a lucrative business.
An unrivaled conspiracy.
Of course, the key to achieving this step is its powerful military force.
The World Government is composed of three core institutions: the Naval Headquarters, the Judicial Island, and the Impel Downtown, which control the use of force, make laws, and try and convict criminals.
Relying on the deterrence of powerful military force as the core and using various means to reap wealth is truly a bandit act.
Don’t mention it, this cool operation gives people an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Boss!"
Ivan interrupted Charlotte who was reading the newspaper and thinking.
"What's wrong, Ivan?"
Charlotte looked at Ivan with some doubt.
"Boss, there is something I need to report."
Looking at Ivan's somewhat serious face, Charlotte's heart skipped a beat.
"you say!"
Ivan adjusted his tone and said, "Boss, more and more people are coming to Lati Island. Vegetables, fruits, and food on the island are beginning to be in short supply. Relying on Palen's channels for transit and transportation, the consumption is a bit high, and we need to find a stable source of supply."
Charlotte frowned slightly. Vegetables, fruits, and grains are indispensable. Without a variety of food supplements, the human body will have big problems over a long period of time.
Moreover, Lati Island is a mountainous island and the planting area is indeed not large enough, which is a fact that cannot be ignored.
The shortage of raw material resources is a big problem!
Charlotte looked at Ivan. Since he had asked this question, he must have some ideas in mind.
"Say what you think!"
Ivan nodded and said calmly, "Boss, do you still remember the Kingdom of Iren?"
Charlotte hesitated for a moment and then remembered.
He still remembered the kingdom that received their help, and he also harvested a priceless devil fruit there, which left a deep impression on him.
"How to say?"
Ivan put his right fist to his mouth and coughed twice.
"My plan is this: the Kingdom of Iren has a large territory and is rich in food and mineral resources. We can definitely reach a cooperation with them. On the one hand, we can obtain resources at a cheaper price and they can also develop their domestic economy..."
Listening to Ivan's well-reasoned analysis, Charlotte couldn't help but nod. This was indeed a good idea.
He couldn't help but be surprised. With this kind of brain, it would be a huge waste of talent whether he was a gangster or a pirate!
A proper Home Secretary!
As for secretly controlling the kingdom, Charlotte has not considered it for the time being. Once the news is exposed, the impact will be huge.
The plan he was developing secretly could easily go wrong, not to mention that his base was here, so it was not suitable to divide his troops.
However, doing so can easily lead to unnecessary steps and the result will be counterproductive.
Win-win cooperation is the safest approach at the moment.
"Okay, you go and do it!"
Charlotte unconditionally trusted Ivan and handed the matter over to him.
"Okay, boss."
"By the way, Ivan, do you have any news about scientists working in agriculture?"
Charlotte looked at Ivan and asked.
Food, food security is too important. What will we do if a war breaks out without sufficient food reserves?
The mountainous nature of Lati Island is destined to rely heavily on other aspects, just like the unscientific scientists in the world of pirates are a good choice.
Ivan shook his head. He had never heard of this.
Charlotte's eyes darkened. This was a big, troublesome matter. "Please pay more attention to it. At the same time, we will build a reserve grain warehouse. We need to purchase large quantities of grain for strategic reserves."
Ivan's eyes lit up and he admired Charlotte's foresight.
"Okay, Boss. I'll get ready."
Looking at Ivan leaving, Charlotte began to ponder.
He is that food security cannot be entrusted to others, it is not safe at all.
Even allies run the risk of being backstabbed.
The Heberfil family is not a family where one person feeds the whole family. It is a huge family system with many people.
For the time being, we can only rely on buying. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. The current income of the Heberfil family is quite considerable.
In particular, the No. 1 beauty pill developed by Naiqin has begun to be sold through underground channels, and the response has been quite good.
The factory has started large-scale production, and Naiqin is working hard to develop a new generation of beauty pill products.
In the future, there will be more products of this kind, which will become another major source of income for the Heberfil family.
If you have too much money, you have to spend it. If you don't use it, it will just be a pile of waste paper, so he has increased investment in all aspects.
Improving our capabilities and accumulating strength is urgent.
The sea changes every day and it changes too fast. This is an era of chaos but also an era of rapid development.
All forces in the future are gearing up, constantly accumulating strength and waiting for the future. As a time traveler, it is naturally impossible for him to be unprepared.
Otherwise, how can he fight back, how can he ensure that he can lie down safely?
Chapter 129: Hall of Flowers
three days later.
A large merchant ship flying the flag of the Kingdom of Iren slowly sailed into the port of Lati Island.
The merchant ships coming and going and the huge port are really fascinating!
When Rosa But stepped into the port, Ivan received her warmly and gave her a lot of face.
"Welcome, King Rosa Bute. I am Ivan, a cadre of the Heberfil family."
Ivan extended his hand warmly to express his welcome.
"Thank you for your welcome, Lord Ivan. Lati Island is truly extremely prosperous!"
Rosa Butt was a little flattered, but also said with emotion.
The prosperity of this island was beyond his imagination, and their Ivan Kingdom could not compare with it at all.
If I came here initially with a feeling of respect and gratitude, now I feel envy, immense envy.
Ivan smiled and said, "Dear guest, please follow me."
As soon as the words fell, the guards on both sides moved quickly to welcome the arrival of the King of the Kingdom of Iren.
The neat and straight posture looks majestic and powerful.
Rosa Butt couldn't hide her envy. What a strong and capable army they were!
After a long time, everyone passed through many checkpoints and arrived at the core area of the Heberfil family fortress.
The only way to express Rosa Bute's feelings is to be shocked by what he saw along the way.
It is simply unbelievably powerful and wealthy.
Ivan was very satisfied with the opponent's performance. This intuitive display of strong strength was the best way to intimidate his weaker forces.
It can easily promote friendly negotiations between the two parties.
If you really want to be tactless, you must know whether you can withstand the wrath of the Heberfil family.
In front of the huge reception and conference hall.
The guards solemnly opened the heavy, tall and majestic gate.
At a glance.
Clusters of flowers, carved corridors and painted pillars, and red carpets all show the nobility. Extending from the gate to the central position, there is a huge circular conference table.
It looks very imposing.
Looking up, the sunlight is scattered through the large transparent glass windows, and the haziness is as dazzling as the Didard effect.
Luxurious and beautiful, solemn and sacred, Rosa Bute was amazed.
“This place is so beautiful, like a work of art.”
Ivan's mouth curled up slightly. He had put a lot of effort into this, just to show the dignity and generosity of the Heberfil family. The decency must not be lost.
He said in a calm tone.
"This is the Heberfil Family's Foreign Guest Council Hall, also known as the Flower Hall!"
Hall of Flowers?
