After the Warring States Period and Porusalino all left, Longinus shook his head slightly.

He asked Reilly to lift the "mask" at that time, but he really didn't think about cheating Dorag. He just wanted to put a halo on Apophis's identity.

Things finally developed to this point, and it must be the effect of Dorag's own halo.

Nothing to do with Talanginus/Apophis!

After all, he knew very well.

If the Navy wants to truly develop, the pressure given by the Revolutionary Army is essential.

Only when the Revolutionary Army is strong enough can the world government let go to a certain extent and make the navy's sharp knife sharper.

Only in this way can his ambition to take charge of the navy be meaningful!

After making a move in the headquarters, Longinus returned to the G2 branch and naturally presided over the various affairs of the base.

Although there are five major generals in the base, in addition to him, and Longinus is the least qualified, those major generals also know that the one who is most likely to take over this base after Lieutenant General Porusalino is Longinus.

So, let’s just consider it familiar with it in advance.

g2 branch center conference room.

Longinus sat in the head and listened carefully to the discussions of the other brigade generals.

"I think more troops should be deployed in the Soroda Sea, which is the closest waters to the third and fourth routes of the Great Routes. Without enough troops, it is impossible to solve the increasingly rampant pirates!"

"The Soloda Sea where you are stationed is difficult, isn't it difficult for me to station Bailuo Island? It is located in a remote and mountainous hills. After the pirates hide in it, the troops with less than one formation cannot go deep!"

"If you want to tell me, the ice cream country I stationed in is the most difficult, it is poor and deserted. However, it has spawned countless pirates due to geographical advantages. Not only can't catch the pirates, the soldiers can't even afford to eat."

"Bastard, I said it's the hardest here. Are you going to compete with me?"

"Just compete, who can beat me!"

"Cough cough..." Looking at the brigade generals whose painting style suddenly changed, Longinus coughed a few times, "I have already roughly understood the difficulties you mentioned, and there are only two types of problems, one is military expenditure and the other is military strength."

The brigade generals nodded together and looked at Longinus like a baby waiting to be fed.

Longineus, who was seen with a chill, quickly said, "Although there are still many branches in the military expenses, it is a budget for the payment of bounty and pensions, which is not easy to misappropriate."

"In fact, if there is only one or two resident funds gap, the branch can grit its teeth and take it out, but the amount of the gap is too large, and even if the branch spends this amount of military expenditure, it can't even splash a splash."

This is also a microcosm of the era of the Great Pirates. It is not that the Navy does not want to do things, but that there are too many restrictions in all aspects.

Corresponding to the increasing pirate outbound rate year by year are pensions and bounties that occupy an increasing proportion of the military budget.

These two parts of the budget in turn suppressed the budget for equipment and troops, causing the navy's finances and war situation to fall into such a vicious cycle.

There is no way, people always have to bow to reality.

Even if the navy's slogan "justice" is loud and nice, if even the soldiers' salary, equipment, and even pensions for death are not guaranteed, who would be willing to sacrifice his life for "justice"?

Seeing the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly silenced, Apophis spoke, "So, we need to make some changes that can adapt to this era!"

"Adapt to the times?" asked a group of brigade generals in a daze.

"Since we cannot change this bad era, we must learn to adapt to this era in our own way!"

"First, try to establish a good relationship with the royal family in the garrison, find ways to let them 'actively' share some of the pressure..."

"Wait, Major General Longinus, it seems that this does not conform to the rules?" Major General Johnathan, who is familiar with Longinus, suddenly interrupted, "After the kingdom handed over the heavenly gold to the Tianlong people, and became a franchise, the navy automatically assumed the responsibility of protecting the kingdom."

"That's right, but..." Longineus said seriously, "that money can be put into the Navy less than one-tenth, and in the increasingly serious situation, we must make changes."

"But, the gold in the sky is already extremely heavy. If I share part of the navy's military expenditure, I am worried that those kingdoms will even stir up civil unrest!" A brigade general said worriedly.

"That's why I let you 'deal' with those royal families." Longineus smiled. "The kings on St. Tin Island are very enthusiastic. They not only actively support the naval operations, but also vigorously take over all the navy's expenditures."

"That's because you have killed two kings!" The brigade generals shouted in their hearts. They understood what Longinus meant. The common people had no money, which does not mean that the royal nobles had no money either.

"On the one hand, we do not have the reputation of Major General Longineus, and the royal family will most likely not cooperate actively. On the other hand, even if they cooperate, they will distribute military expenses to the people afterwards, and the final result is still..."

"So, this requires everyone's efforts!" Longineus said seriously, "You cannot only maintain justice with gentleness, and you must also get iron blood when necessary."

"In such a dangerous moment, those who are unwilling to cooperate are enemies of justice!" Longineus always kept holding high the banner of "justice" and said, "For justice, even if I am not understood and stigmatized, I will do whatever I can!"

"Major General, you are..." The brigade generals and major generals felt heavy in their hearts, both for Longineus's courage and for Longineus' beliefs. "We must challenge the rules of the royal families and world governments!"

Naturally, Longinus would not be as noble as he said. In fact, the resistance he encountered in his actions was definitely much smaller than they thought.

Due to his vision, even a group of brigade and major generals overestimated the influence of those royal families.

Just as Dalton ousted Valbo in the original work, he was naturally recognized by the world government as the king, at most the world government is doing some face-saving projects to the outside world.

As for internal contradictions?

As long as the newly appointed king is willing to continue paying money, the protection fee will not care about you.

In other words, if there is really a king who can't think about it, Longinus can completely secretly trigger riots and support a king who is more inclined to "justice" to come to power.

As for the government's questioning, it's even easier to deal with.

I, Longineus, would rather bear the stigma than add burden to the government. No matter how difficult the situation is, I would not make money from heaven. Everything is based on the premise that "the great man of the Dragon" can eat fat and fat.

In this way, you still doubt my loyalty and whether it is humane!

Regarding his attitude towards the gold in the sky, government officials may not be allowed to award him a model medal!

As for the royal attitude, who cares about them?

The deepest purpose of Longineus doing this is actually to test the government's bottom line of control over finance.

"If you want to get rid of the world government's clampdown, the first step is to achieve financial freedom." Longinus looked at everyone with a righteous face, but in fact he was thinking in his heart, "The navy can first use the G2 branch as the experimental point. The target range is small, and the government will not easily think about other aspects."

"If it's outside the navy, it depends on when the person I'm waiting for will appear!"

ps1: Actually, I saved two chapters of deposited manuscripts a few days ago. However, as I said before, I have been busy decorating a new house for my cousin these two days and have to take on the bride tomorrow. I can only squeeze out time to code a chapter and get the deposited manuscripts. I can barely maintain the update. I will try to save some manuscripts when the day after tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
