Chapter 426 Small country with few people & train network

In the empty room, Longinus sat alone.

In front of him was a telephone bug showing a human smile.

"It's really surprising that a man like you would come to talk to us for a boatmaker."

"Even with Roger's aura, his identity should be worthless to you."

Intelligence agencies like CP pay the most attention to the accuracy of information. If the reported results are finally considered false, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the person in charge.

Therefore, Spandam will not report his guess until the Pluto drawing is found.

Of course, another important reason is that Spandam is worried that someone will share his credit.

This also makes the Five Old Stars not clear about what happened to Tom.

"I hope to protect him, it was entirely based on the idea of ​​the sea train." Longines explained slowly.

"Sea train?" The voice of the phone bug paused for a moment, "I have learned a little, so it's a bit innovative."

"What? Do you still want to develop trade?"

For the knowledgeable five old stars, the sea train is just like that. Even if it can drive the development of commercial trade, it is still an optional thing in their eyes.

"Of course not." Longinus said seriously, "In my opinion, the most important significance of sea trains is to suppress the development wave of the revolutionary army."

"Oh? The wave of development of the Revolutionary Army?" When Longinus mentioned the Revolutionary Army, the five old stars also looked at it.

In the past two years, more than a dozen kingdoms have been overthrown one after another.

For the government, this loss is actually irrelevant.

But the problem is that the revolutionary army used their means to prove its existence, and at the same time it also promoted the wave of spreading revolutionary ideas.

The free thought trend has become increasingly fierce.

In today's sea, there are pirates stirring up the wind and rain in the new world, and there are undercurrents of revolutionary troops in the world.

Even the world government cannot continue to ignore this chaos.

It's time to make a change!

"You explain it carefully."

"Yes." Longinus said to the phone worm, "The revolutionary army's activities are mostly in the world, with a vast territory and numerous kingdoms, and the power of the government and navy is relatively weak."

"Once a rebellion occurs, it will be difficult for the government to send a fleet to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. Although the sea tower stone inlay technology invented by Dr. Baigaponk can allow the fleet to cross the windless belt, it has indeed relieved our pressure to a certain extent, but... it is still not enough!"

"We need to use a more convenient way to closely connect the context of the world into a whole. Once a rebellion occurs, we don't even need to send troops from our headquarters. The naval forces in the entire sea can suppress the rebellion in time."

"You said, is the sea train that connects the world into a whole?" The five old stars' voices rang out in time, and there was no joy or anger.

"Well! Once the train network is rolled out, it can connect the world and even the first half of the great route with the headquarters as the center. At that time, the government's control over the world will reach an unprecedented level."

Hearing Longineus's remarks, the breathing of the phone bug became a little quicker.

The world government is not a unified country, but a politically scattered group of countries with more than 170 franchisees around the world.

It’s not that the world government does not want to increase control, but that it cannot do it.

According to Longineus's understanding, the current world government is very similar to the marine civilization called "Ancient Greece" in another world.

They are all filled with islands, with barriers to the ocean and difficulties in transportation, which has created a city-state system with small countries and few people.

The connections between each city-state are loose and indifferent. Only through overseas trade can exchanges between each other's city-states be maintained.

The only difference is that the world government relies on absolute military suppression to maintain this loose alliance for eight hundred years.

Therefore, the five old stars with the highest power in the world will naturally want to take this power further.

However, they are not going to be blinded by greed.

"The most critical question of this proposal is how to ensure safety?"

"Routes close to the Navy headquarters and major branches may have sufficient deterrence, but if there are too many routes laid, the train will be easily hijacked, and the tracks may be even more damaged."

"The people of the Revolutionary Army are not idiots. If they really want to launch a rebellion, they will definitely destroy the adjacent tracks as soon as possible. In this way, the train network we have laid will only become waste of materials and financial resources."

Hearing the doubts of the five elder stars, Longinus explained calmly, "The key to solving the hidden dangers in this area lies in the fishman."

"You mean, let those fishmen help us protect the track." The tone of the Five Old Stars was filled with a strong sense of distrust.

"The fishman is a natural sea warrior. The ordinary revolutionary army has no way to destroy the track under their protection. If the revolutionary army sends high-level cadres, that would be better. We can set up traps to capture them based on this." Longineus said in a temptation.

"As for the loyalty of the fisherman, I don't think there is any need to worry at all. On the one hand, Princess Oki and I will actively guide and try to eliminate the fisherman's hatred for the government; on the other hand, we can seize Dorag and kill Fisher Tiger to promote the fisherman's hatred for the revolutionary army."

When Longinus heard about Fisher Tiger, the satisfied smiles from the five old stars were perfectly presented to Longinus through the phone bug.

It’s obvious that they are the real murderers, but they can turn the blame on the enemy. This feeling is simply too good.

"However, Tom is still related to Roger after all. It is always uneasy to hand over such a huge project as the train network into his hands."

"I'm sorry, the only ones who can do this may be Tom and his two disciples."

Langhinus did not lie. In the original trajectory, the only three trains in this world were made by the three of them.

All the outstanding shipbuilders in this world gathered in the Seven Waters Capital, but the Seven Waters Capital has long been declining and decaying. There are very few who can devote themselves to building ships like Tom and the other two.

Most shipbuilders who did not change their careers starved to death.

By comparison, it is no exaggeration to say that the three of them have advanced to the shipbuilding technology for an era.

"One more thing is that Tom's fishman identity may also provide a lot of convenience for our next moves."

The phone bug was silent for a moment before the five old stars finally rang out.

"General Longineus, your statement and sincerity have indeed touched us. Well, the train network project will be left to you with full authority."

"You can also give priority to government resources."

After saying that, the voice of the phone worm became silent and the room returned to tranquility.

Bright light shone on Longineus's face, reflecting a face with a soft tone.

“Looking at a problem from a different perspective will lead to completely different answers.”

"In the eyes of the world government, the train network will be their weapon to suppress riots, but in the eyes of the revolutionary army, the train network is also the bullets they used to "surround the city in the countryside" to give the world government a fatal blow."
