Novel Star 393 Threat
393 Threat
Alabasta Palace.
Cobra looked at the person in front of him and said, "I don't know why the famous CP0 came to see me?"
"CP0 Rob Lucci see His Majesty Naferutali Cobra, I am here to borrow troops under the orders of the World Government."
Cobra glanced at Lu Qi who was standing respectfully, and asked, "Borrowing soldiers?"
"Yes, the World Government is at war with the Ten Thousand Realms Pirates, so I hope that Alabasta can send some troops to the Red Earth Continent to help the World Government against the Ten Thousand Realms Pirates."
"It doesn't need much, it only needs Alabasta to lend one-third of the army, that is, 20 troops."
"Of course, during the war, the world government will be responsible for all the consumption of Alabasta's army. At the same time, the world government is willing to spend [-]% of Alabasta's oil interests and give it to Alabasta forever."
"In addition, Alabasta can also receive a large amount of economic subsidies provided by the world government at one time, as much as 40 billion Baileys."
Because of the heavy losses in the war with the Ten Thousand Worlds Pirates, the war potential of the countries under the control of the World Government has been exhausted.
It's not that these countries can't produce more troops, but that the existing troops in these countries have all been drawn into war.
If you want more troops, you can only recruit new troops.
After all, these countries are not like the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms, as long as the robots are produced, they can be put on the battlefield.
Human armies take time to train.
It takes at least several months to turn a civilian into a qualified soldier, not to mention that today's wars are very different from before.
But now, on the Red Earth Continent, the battle between the World Government and the Pirates of Myriad Realms is unprecedentedly fierce, and the World Government loses more than [-] troops every day.
As for the material consumption, it is also an astronomical figure.
However, compared to the material aspect, the military cannot get enough supplements, which is what the world government is worried about.
So the World Government has set its sights on the Kingdom of Alabasta.
After all, as a superpower in the first half of the great route.
Alabasta has a standing army of 60. An army of this size is extremely rare in hundreds of countries in the entire One Piece world.
The combined population of many countries is smaller than Alabasta's standing army.
And if necessary, Alabasta can also mobilize several 10 people across the country to join the army.
In addition, Alabasta itself is in the first half of the great route, and the speed of transporting troops is much faster than that of the four seas.
"Alabasta will not send troops to fight the Ten Thousand Worlds Pirates."
Cobra directly and sternly rejected Lu Qi's request.
As the king of Alabasta, he knows more information than ordinary people.
He is very clear about how tragic the battle situation on the Red Earth Continent is.
After all, the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms once carried out large-scale video broadcasts. The ferocious artillery coverage and the robot army that is difficult to destroy are all terrible weapons for harvesting lives on the battlefield.
And Cobra doesn't want the citizens of Alabasta to fill the war mill that consumes countless flesh and blood for the sake of the world government.
In Cobra's view, the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms are not a vicious existence. After all, the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms have basically never done anything like robbery.
On the contrary, under the rule of the Pirates of the Ten Thousand Realms, the economy is prosperous, the people live in peace, and their lives are good. If Alabasta is not too far away from the Pirates of the Ten Thousand Realms, he would like to bring Alabasta to join the Pirates of the Ten Thousand Realms.
What's more, the conditions offered by the world government are simply that the old lady eats porridge—no toothless.
Alabasta's troops help the World Government fight, and the World Government is responsible for their consumption, which is a matter of course.
As for oil interests, Alabasta's oil was originally a product of Alabasta, but before, the world government took away the oil on the grounds that Alabasta's oil was invested by the Ten Thousand Realms Pirates.
Cobra also had no choice but to do what the world government did in the first place, which allowed the world government to seize Alabasta's oil.
Now the world government says to take [-]% of the profits from oil, but the problem is that oil should belong to Alabasta.
This is equivalent to taking Alabasta's money to buy Alabasta's things.
It is obviously my own thing, but I can only get [-]% of it, and it depends on the face of the world government. Is it impossible for me to kneel and beg for food?
And the so-called subsidy from the world government, in Cobra's view, is of little use.
40 billion Baileys seems like a lot, almost worth a Four Emperors.
But the problem is that Alabasta has paid 20 troops, and on average, a soldier is only [-] Baileys.
What's more, as the war between the World Government and the Pirates of Ten Thousand Worlds intensifies, especially a lot of news that is not conducive to the war situation of the World Government.
Today, Bailey has experienced a certain degree of depreciation in the world.
What used to be ten beres now might cost twelve beres.
The fact that the World Government borrowed troops from Alabasta shows that the war situation is not good.
Once the World Government is defeated, Bailey will depreciate rapidly, and maybe Bailey will become a pile of waste paper when he wakes up.
From these conditions, Cobra did not see any sincerity from the world government.
Lu Qi was already prepared for Cobra's refusal, and he took off his white cloak.
He said to Cobra: "Your Majesty Cobra, I hope you can agree to the request of the world government. After all, Alabasta is also a member of the world government."
"The world government has worked so hard to maintain the order of the world for so many years, but now it is just a small request. If His Majesty Cobra does not agree, I am afraid that some unpleasant things will happen."
Hearing Lu Qi's words, Bell immediately drew out his saber and stood in front of Cobra.
Lu Qi glanced at Bell contemptuously. For Lu Qi, there is no Alabasta without Crocodile, but no one can stop him.
Even if Bell can fly, he still has the confidence to finish the opponent before the opponent flies into the sky.
Letting Alabasta send troops to participate in the war is a task assigned by Wu Laoxing, and he must complete it.
It is not impossible to take some extraordinary measures when necessary.
Cobra could naturally hear what Lu Qi meant just now. He said, "Alabasta just went through a major turmoil two years ago, and it hasn't fully recovered until now. It really doesn't have the energy to help the World Government."
"Your Majesty Cobra, since Alabasta cannot meet the requirements of the world government, then we will not force it. However, Lord Wu Laoxing still has orders for me before leaving."
"Saint Chase Rodman of the Holy Land fell in love with His Royal Highness Princess Naferutali Weiwei at first sight, so he is willing to marry Her Highness Vivi to become the official wife of Chace Rodman Saint."
"So I am here this time, and I am also responsible for the orders of Lord Wu Laoxing. We hope that this time I can bring His Royal Highness Weiwei back to Mary Gioia."
"it's out of the question!"
Bell yelled at Lu Qi.
Although it was said that it was the Tianlong people who married His Royal Highness Weiwei, both Bell and Cobra knew that behind this was the meaning of the World Government.
If His Royal Highness Weiwei really went to Marie Gioia, then Alabasta might really want to send troops to support the World Government.
Even Cobra, who has always been calm, stood up from the throne at this time.
What Lu Qi said just now is already a threat to Alabasta.
What's more, Cobra is very clear about the virtues of Tianlong people, so Cobra will never agree to Weiwei marrying Marie Gioia.
At this moment, Jaca, the adjutant of the Kingdom Guard, came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the fleet of the Pirates of Ten Thousand Realms has appeared off the coast of Alabasta."
