Chapter 657 Crane's Plan(2/2)
The treasury of these countries is very likely to help the world government survive the most difficult years to come. If these countries are unwilling to increase investment, then the world government may really be in trouble.
The World Government's previous attitude towards the Ryugu Kingdom also proves that the World Government cherishes the remaining franchise countries. Therefore, if it can impress the remaining franchise countries, it may be able to obtain some good bargaining chips for the Navy.
If more than half of the fifty countries speak out for the navy, then the world government will not make a decision easily. It may not be possible to rule out the world government settling accounts later, but at least it can buy a lot of time for the navy.
Although Sakaski said that Skyler had a solution, Yihe did not dare to fully trust the two people's understanding.
Crane told Sakaski or Sengoku more than once that Skyler is a trustworthy person and Skyler is a person who never disappoints.
However, He also knows that Skyler is not a person who can be measured by ordinary people's thinking. Her solution may really solve the problem, but it may also create a bigger problem.
For example, this time, how can we prevent the Five Old Stars from pursuing the navy's actions? If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely have to get the Five Old Stars' forgiveness, whether with emotion or reason.
But what about Skyler's behavior pattern? Her out-of-the-box thinking cannot be completely simulated by He, but he can guess some. For example, if the Five Old Stars are killed, the Five Old Stars will not be able to hold the Navy accountable for what they did.
For another example, if the Navy declares its independence and is no longer affiliated with the World Government, then the Five Old Stars will have no right to pursue it. Or they may simply bring the World Government into one pot.
These are some of the problem-solving ideas that He came up with after trying hard to adapt to Skyler's thinking. With Skyler's strength, maybe she can really do it, and with her character, she might really be that crazy.
But the possibility of Skyler doing this does not mean that He can rest assured. Before things really evolve out of control, He, as a naval staff officer, still needs to consider the stability of the navy and the world.
This is why before Sengoku retired, he begged He not to retire, because the navy run by Sakaski and Skyler was really foreseeable and outrageous.
Facts have also proved that Sengoku's worries before retiring were not unreasonable. Even when He was still serving as a general staff officer, the two men secretly planned such a major event as killing the Tianlong people.
Without Crane's help in handling the follow-up, it is estimated that the Navy would no longer be able to wait for the temporary reconciliation with the World Government, but would break away from the World Government early, and even declare war with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
With the personalities of these two people, they might even shout slogans like "The navy is the navy of the sea, not the navy of the world government."
The strength and ability of these two people to get things done together make him feel that he is likely to succeed in anything he does, but the price of success is difficult to control.
Therefore, Crane's current positioning is to slow down Sakaski and Skyler, not to hold them back, but to allow them to slow down and have time to see more things clearly.
It may allow these two people to succeed later, but at a lower price.
For example, during this world meeting, He actually had his own idea in his mind, that is, since the world government no longer trusts the navy, the navy does not need to serve the world government.
Instead, it skips the "intermediary" of the World Government and directly displays the value of the navy to the World Government's participating countries, and these participating countries directly inject funding and support.
Of course, this matter cannot be done openly, but needs to be disguised. While mobilizing the ideas of the participating countries, the Five Old Stars and other officials of the World Government must not feel abnormal.
Tsuru's plan is to use the guise of "demonstrating the value of the navy, gaining support from the alliance countries, and gaining the trust of the world government" to use the world conference to talk about the past achievements of the navy in a "dying struggle" style.
The core of it is to demonstrate the value of the navy to the joining countries, and then make the joining countries realize that they cannot lose the navy. In this way, no matter whether the joining countries choose to speak out for the navy or contact the navy privately, the navy can benefit.
He didn't tell Sakaski about these things, so He knew that Sakaski couldn't hide things. Even on the day when Skyler killed the Celestial Dragon, although Sakaski was tight-lipped, there were many secrets.
exception.
However, time was too tight at the time, and Sakaski controlled all the generals in the conference room, preventing them from leaving to investigate the reason behind it.
But it is not possible to face the Five Old Stars and the World Government, because they view Sakaski with scrutiny and accountability. Any abnormality in him will attract the attention of the World Government.
In this situation, Crane can only have confidence in himself, and maybe Kizaru, but with the non-stick properties that Kizaru has shown in the past, he probably won't get involved.
The group of people boarded the warship without any communication. After the warship left the port, it headed towards the red port of the Red Earth Continent. He left the deck on the pretext of going to review the information.
Sakaski did not become suspicious, but was arguing with Fujitora about the proposal to abolish the Shichibukai system, while Green Bull just finished arranging flowers in boredom.
After Kizaru walked around on the deck, he stepped into the cabin with extremely loose steps. No one thought that Kizaru was abnormal, after all, he was supposed to be such a lazy person.
However, Kizaru did not return to the cabin assigned to him. Instead, he came to the data room where He was. Looking at He, who was frowning at the data and thinking, without even noticing his own arrival, Kizaru said with a smile:
"Lieutenant General Crane~"
The sudden sound startled Crane, then he raised his head, looked at Kizaru, tried to stay calm, and asked with a smile: "Polusalino? What's the matter?"
Kizaru nodded, approached He, and asked: "Lieutenant General He, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with the revolutionary army~"
