Chapter 166 Negotiations
Chapter 166 Negotiations
The "March period" set by Vidal is coming to an end. During this period, not only the demons and ghosts in Shampoo are very uncomfortable, but also the navy who were demoted to chores before are also suffering unspeakably.
Because they found that the so-called training was not what it was before.
Rather, it is a new type of tactic that has never been seen before and is rather complex.
This makes it uncomfortable for them who are used to fighting purely by brute force. During the battle, they have to always pay attention to the position and situation of their comrades around them, and at the same time think about when to cooperate, when to cover, and when to attack separately.
Cooperation is also very important. The angle and speed of the sword must be coordinated with the people around you. Only in this way can you withstand attacks that they could not block alone.
As for cover and split attacks, I heard from the sailors who taught me that if you use them well, you can hit more with less.
They didn't believe it at first, but even if they didn't believe it, they had to bite the bullet and memorize it and learn it.
As for no one coming to train or something, there is no such thing at all. It is not only because of the reluctance to part with the previous military rank, but also has a lot to do with not wanting to work as a prison guard in Impel Down City.
Going to Impel Down to work as a prison guard means you are guarding the criminals in the prison, but it is actually equivalent to putting yourself in prison!
Isn't the air in Shampoo sweet?
"Yes, all 2,421 people have passed." Vidal was very satisfied with the result.
After all, these people have been professional marines for many years, and they performed quite well under the coercion and inducement of restoring their military ranks and going to Impel Down.
Regardless of how well they practice the three-and-three system, the attitude of all members participating in training on time is worth giving them a chance.
In addition, now is the time to employ people, and he is reluctant to send these people to Impel Down City!
And...how can he recommend these people to Impel Down?
Impel Down City and the Navy are two institutions, and even his teacher Sengoku can only ask if he wants anyone there.
So Vidal was deceiving them from the beginning, hehehe.
"Hey, it's time." At this time, Vidal looked at the clock on the wall and smiled.
"Bring in the image."
"Yes!"
Colonel Noel quickly turned off the lights in the room, and then began to operate the image phone bugs one by one. After a while, a circular virtual image divided into many grids appeared in the sky, and male and female faces were successively inserted into each grid.
That’s right, this is this world’s version of an online conference!
"It's really easy for me to wait, Brigadier General Vidal."
"Our income in the past three months has been more than 40% less than in previous years!"
"Your navy has put so many phone bugs on the island. It's disgusting."
As soon as these people appeared, they started complaining eccentrically, while Vidal looked at them expressionlessly until everyone slowly quieted down.
"Finished?"
"Then it's my turn to say it next."
Vidal leaned back on his chair and glanced around at these strange-looking guys.
"I'll tell you what I want first."
"First, except for Region 20, I want to control all areas, especially Region 0 and Region 10. All your forces will be withdrawn."
"Two, the navy has the right to ask you for information on the island in the future, and you must try your best to cooperate."
"Third, it is forbidden to damage the phone bugs on the island. If I find it, I will bear the consequences."
"Four, each of your forces must give me 100 million beli in protection fees every year!"
His words made everyone in the video stunned. How dare you make such an exorbitant request!
"Oh, are you a little too arrogant?" Kinoshita, who was wearing a white kimono, said with a sneer: "District 0 and District 10 are lawless zones, and you want to take them away with just one sentence?"
Vidal glanced at this guy and instantly recognized him as Kinoshita, the leader of the Flying Pirates in Shampoo.
Long before this meeting, he had found someone to compile a general profile of these people.
"Intelligence sharing, do you mean that we have to tell you whatever your navy wants to know in the future?"
This woman's name is Charlene, she is a subordinate of the current Queen of Happy Street in the New World, and is responsible for managing the pink business in Hotel Street.
"There are also 100 million for each force. There are eleven forces here. Don't you make at least 1.1 billion beli every year?"
"Why!" This time it was Peidi, the Minister of Finance of All Nations.
Now bigmoom has not given birth to so many children, and some of the children have not grown up yet, so there are many outsiders in charge of government affairs.
At this time, Vidal suddenly raised a finger, "First, I can call the warships back to the shipyard to no longer verify the ship's identity. Second, I can relax the patrols in each area and allow those guests who have come from afar from the paradise to come back. You consume there, including shipyards."
As soon as the words fell, these people were silent for a while. After a while, someone asked doubtfully: "No more? That's it?"
"Isn't it enough?" Vidal asked.
"You are just giving us back what we had before!" Kinoshita was furious.
"What else is called relaxing patrols? It means patrols still exist, right!"
"Of course, since I have restored control, I cannot give up halfway." Vidal shrugged as if it was natural.
"As for giving back what you had before..."
At this point, his face dropped and he looked at the group of people coldly, "I snatched that from your hands. Have you forgotten the previous fight?"
"In that case, of course I can sell it to you as a bargaining chip!"
"You!"
"Too arrogant!"
"If it weren't for Malinfando behind you, do you think you are qualified to make these bullshit demands from us?"
Vidal spread his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, there is Marinevando behind me, and there is Marie Joa on my head. What can you do?"
The location of the Shampoo Islands is particularly unique.
Even if it's the Flying Pirates of the Golden Lion Shiji, if they want to fight, they have to be prepared to be completely annihilated.
But is this little thing worth going to war with Shi Ji?
Betting the whole group for a profit of several hundred million?
So, even though the mini-bosses in these images look awesome, they are actually nothing at all.
If Vidal really blocked all their financial opportunities in Chambord, he might really make the big bosses behind him angry, but now he has controlled the speed at just the right level.
He said he was willing to compromise and let them continue to make money, but it would just be less than before, and they would earn 10% or 20% less.
In order to earn a few hundred million less, do you have to spend all your wealth and go to the shampoo field to work hard?
Nonsense!
This is the subtlety of balancing people's minds.
"Huh——"
Some calm people at the scene immediately understood this truth. In this way, they were equivalent to losing their biggest bargaining chip, and they could not threaten Vidal with the big guys behind them.
"First tell me how to relax patrol control!"
Vidal had long expected that these people could only compromise, and the capital of both parties was not of the same level at all.
Again, the location of the Chambord Islands is so advantageous to him!
"It's very simple. Use automatic imaging phone bugs to replace most of the naval patrols, but there are some additional conditions."
"Come, let's talk slowly..."
