Chapter 663 The Great Gift

"You mean, with this money, more than 600 units of the same equipment can be built?"

Two days later, in the hall of a castle in Pangu City, Wu Lao Xing, Kong, Lu Qi, Sakaski, and Warring States were discussing something, and the blond old Xing was a little unbelievable holding the report in his hand.

Warring States nodded, and said: "According to the comparison between the cost given by Dr. Vegapunk and the actual cost of the factory, the newly added military project funds can indeed build more than 600 pacifists."

Zhixu old star frowned, and asked: "This pacifist old man also knows, and he has some understanding of the cost. Now the 2.0 version of the pacifist you mentioned has a small difference in the cost, and it can really increase so much. performance?"

If it is the pacifist version two years ago, let alone only 600 units can be built, even if it can build 1,200 units, Wu Laoxing will not consider it.

However, the pacifists described in the report submitted by the Warring States Period are really too powerful. The upgraded anti-shock coating, iterative energy technology, and the increasingly proficient use of light energy cannons, as well as those that can cooperate with each other Smart program.

According to the formation arrangement and attack command setting of the Warring States Period, at least six pacifist units are needed to form a detachment led by a lieutenant general, plus the firepower of warships.

If it's just a competition of firepower, then one pacifist, at most two pacifists, can catch up to a lieutenant general's warship. This is nothing to brag about, after all, the cost is there.

But the power of the navy is not only reflected in the warships, or the warships have never been the main force of the navy, but only an auxiliary.

What is even stronger is the mutual cooperation among the detachments, the command of the chief, and the display of cutting-edge combat power. Even if the warships are superior in performance, such as the Spade Detachment and the Zhanye Detachment, what they are praised for is not the warship itself, but the detachment.

Therefore, the pure quantity of firepower is meaningless, but in the report submitted by the Warring States Period, with the cooperation of pacifists, what can be played is not only the quantity of firepower, but also the quality and efficiency.

The pacifists of the previous generation, although arguably a very good weapon, are far from the epoch-making work of Dr. Vegapunk who speaks confidently.

The pacifist's defensive performance, battery life, and the coordinated combat capability between the pacifist and the pacifist all made the Five Old Stars suspicious of Dr. Vegapunk's project.

Therefore, after Dr. Vegapunk said that he had created a real pacifist this year, the five old stars did not pay attention to it, but this also gave them a "surprise" at this time.

If it is as reported by the Warring States Period, then this pacifist can really be regarded as an epoch-making work, especially since the machine will not betray its master.

Such a project has the value of continuing to invest. After all, even if the military project funds are not used for CP, the navy or the pacifists in front of them, they can only be stored.

Given the current situation of the world government and the increasingly rampant revolutionary army, the number of joining countries will decrease in the coming time. Saving a sum of money in advance may help the world government survive the next few years difficult times.

But if all the money is invested in the production of pacifists, there will be more than 600 pacifists, plus the more than 200 pacifists that have been produced in the Warring States Report.

Even if he has 900 units, according to the formation arrangement of six units given by the Warring States Institute, that is 150 groups, which is equivalent to the combat power that 150 lieutenant general detachments can provide.

Can a detachment of one hundred and fifty lieutenant generals solve the revolutionary army? able! However, the navy does not have a detachment of 150 lieutenant generals, plus most of the navy's strength needs to be put on suppressing pirates. Therefore, even in the previously harmonious environment, the world government did not deploy the navy to deal with the revolutionary army .

Needless to say now, the navy can't take it out, and the five old stars dare not use it.

But the pacifists are different. This is a new force. When the navy maintains the order of the sea and the CP continues to target the revolutionary army, there is an extra force that can destroy the revolutionary army.

Once the production of more than 600 pacifist units is completed, combined with the existing more than 200 units, I am afraid that the revolutionary army can really be wiped out in a very short period of time.

Of course, even if all the pacifists are ready to go, Wu Lao Xing will not do this.

After all, if the revolutionary army is completely suppressed, there will be no excuse to continue collecting funds for this military project in the future, but pacifists still have to create.

Not only to deal with the revolutionary army, but also the navy that has shown its rebellion, and the CP that has lost successively. These two institutions will gradually become useless assets of the world government in the future.

Yesterday, when CP took advantage of the opportunity to take away almost one-third of the gold reserves of the world government at the World Conference, Wu Laoxing made up his mind to liquidate CP.

It just so happens that there are nearly a thousand pacifists.

After solving the big trouble of the revolutionary army, pacifists can also replace the navy and CP, and pacifists don't need to be cultivated, they only need to be produced.

Like the Navy and CP, there are always ups and downs in different eras. The reason is that the uncertainty of talent cultivation is too high. If they are replaced by stable pacifists, it will be different.

The Warring States Period did not seem to have thought of the impact that the pacifists would have on the navy, but reported: "Yes, this is the report that I have concluded after many tests.

And according to Dr. Vegapunk, with firmware upgrades, driver optimization, and data collection and analysis in the future, the role that pacifists can play will only become stronger.

Even only five or even four pacifists are needed to play the role that six pacifists can play today.

In addition, the defensive painting and energy scheme will also be upgraded in the future. After many iterations, maybe the pacifist can play the role of an admiral. "

Wu Laoxing became more and more satisfied the more he listened. Although the expression on his face remained the same, he was still so rigid and calm, but his heart was full of smiles.

The sword-holding old star tightened the long sword in his hand, and observed it. At this time, Sakaski and Lu Qi's faces were not good-looking, especially Sakaski, whose mouth was almost pulled to his jaw.

The sword-holding old star moved his eyes to Kong, and found that Kong was also frowning, with his eyes closed, as if he felt a little regretful and distressed. Seeing this, the sword-holding old star deliberately asked Kong:

"Song, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how do you spend this military expenditure? Your opinion is very important to the world government, please tell me your opinion."

Sora, who was named, opened his eyes helplessly, looked at Lu Qi and Sakaski with hatred, and then said in a low voice: "Since the other party has an opinion on who the money is for, then don't give it up." gave.

In my opinion, the idea of ​​the Warring States Period is good. Put Bailey into the production of pacifists, and the pacifists created have the right to be seconded by the navy and CP, which can be regarded as sharing this expenditure. "

As Kong said, he sighed. From Wulaoxing's point of view, Kong was obviously not satisfied with the result. This was expected by Wulaoxing, so he didn't ask.

The curly-haired old star pondered for a moment, and then asked: "This Dr. Vegapunk, although a technological genius five hundred years ahead of the current era, can complete such a large upgrade in such a short period of time, do you know why? ?”

The curly-haired old star asked the question, and the other four five old stars also nodded. After all, since Vegapunk cooperated with the world government, they have been squeezing toothpaste in units of five years.

For the designed products, an update is carried out every five years, and the progress of each update is not too great, at least not like the pacifists, which can be said to be leaps and bounds.

Not only Wu Laoxing, but even Sakaski and Kong looked at Zhan Guo with doubts.

After getting the information, Kong has been busy with the rescue plan that Lu Qi told him about CP and the Navy together. All his energy was devoted to the rehearsal of today's acting, and he didn't have time to ask questions.

And Sakarski really doesn't understand the pacifist project, but his idea is the same as that of the five old stars.

After Sakaski served as the admiral of the navy, he once asked the yellow monkey to ask Vegapunk if he could upgrade the navy's weapons and equipment in all aspects, but Vegapunk, who was keen on squeezing toothpaste, was unwilling to take out a new one. thing.

But this time, he took out the pacifists so decisively, which made Sakaski a little jealous.

Back then, he ran in and out for a warship for several years, and borrowed countless connections before he reluctantly let Vegapunk equip him with new equipment.

In the past, Sakalski could comfort himself with the fact that the progress of science and technology could not be achieved in a day, but the speed of upgrading and investment of pacifists made Sakalski clearly understand that Dr. Vegapunk .Just don't want to give him the best!

Facing the wooden tube that everyone was wondering about, Zhan Guo sorted out his thoughts and asked, "Master Wu Laoxing, do you guys still remember Bartholomeo Xiong in the Qiwuhai under the king?"

The blond old star nodded and said, "The former king of the Sobel Kingdom, the prototype of a pacifist."

"If there is no accident, after the World Conference is over, and Fujitora's proposal is implemented, the bear will also be offered a reward, right?"

Warring States continued to ask, but the old man holding the sword frowned and asked, "Yes, but what does this matter have to do with pacifists?"

Zhan Guo nodded, and said: "The old man also said just now, if there is no accident, it will be Xiong's accident now."

"."

No one will show off the black humor of the Warring States Period at this time, and even Wulaoxing has a black line on his face. Does this kid in the Warring States Period think he is very humorous?

At this time, Zhan Guo also realized that what he said was wrong. Two years ago, he would never have said such a thing. It is all Karp's fault, and he has led him to ruin it recently!

"Ahem!" After coughing twice, Zhan Guocai said: "After the World Conference, there is no need to offer a reward to the bear, because he has already died in the process of transformation.

According to Vegapunk, his body and brain were also contributed to the development of the pacifists, and it is for this reason that the pacifists have made great progress.

Of course, the old man is not a scientific worker, so he doesn't know the details, but the old man feels that after the abolition of the Qiwuhai system under the king, not offering a reward to the bear is regarded as respect for him and a reward for his contribution. "

‘Do you also know what respect is? '

Wu Laoxing slandered in his heart, but several people also fell silent, as if they were thinking about this, and finally the blind Laoxing nodded and said, "Then there will be no reward."

The other four nodded, expressing their approval. In fact, there is no reward for the bear. For the world government, there is no loss at all, and it can even reduce some workload.

You can also have a big talk with Sobel's current king, who is also Xiong's younger brother, to show a wave of humanistic care of the world government, and then one day in the future, turn this matter out, and promote a wave of humanism of the world government control.

The expenses have been reduced, and the reputation has been earned. Maybe it can turn a member country into a solid supporter of the world government. Why not do it?

Zhixu Laoxing also brushed his long beard at this time, and said: "Since everyone has no objections, the military special funds led by Alabasta, Dressrosa, and Dragon Palace Kingdom will be used for the pacifists. Let's produce."

Hearing what Zhixu Lao Xing said, the other four Wu Lao Xing and Zhan Guo all nodded, Lu Qi and Kong remained silent, and Sakaski pouted directly.

What do you mean everyone has no opinion? Has his opinion been asked by the five old stars?

It's just that this matter has been discussed in advance, and Sakaski will not jump out to object at this time, and it is not useful to object.

Seeing that Sakaski was reluctant, the old star Zhixu didn't object, so he squinted his eyes. If it was normal, Sakaski would definitely yell and object.

But today's silence is another big proof that the navy has turned its back on it.

The old curly-haired star looked at Lu Qi at this time, and said, "Since the problem of the special fund is resolved, let's review yesterday's meeting, Lu Qi, what do you want to say?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi saluted, then bowed his body, and said: "The accident yesterday was not my will, but you know, my lord, I am in charge of CP0 time."

"If there's a problem, it's a problem! Don't just find a reason for the problem, Lu Qi, isn't this the first time you've made a mistake?"

The old star holding the sword directly interrupted Lu Qi's words, and his face showed dissatisfaction at the right time. This Rob Lu Qi is really ashamed of his trust in them.

A few days ago, Lu Qi made such a big mistake. The five of them were kind-hearted, and they wanted to give Lu Qi another chance. As long as he didn't make mistakes, he would continue to work in the position of CP0 chief.

But it's only been a few days, and such a big incident happened?

Morant's speech yesterday made the fifty countries participating in the world conference wait for the world government to pay for the purchase of arms, and then distribute them to them in the war against the revolutionary army.

Can this be promised casually? !

What was the purpose of this batch of arms in the first place? ! It was intended to be resold to the franchise countries, but now it has become a free gift, and the world government has to help supervise this matter. How much human and financial resources have been lost inside and out?

Lu Qi lowered his head and did not answer. There was no fluctuation in his heart. After all, he is not a person who really likes to shirk responsibility, but is just a person set up on the side of Wu Laoxing.

Doing so would make him lose the position of CP0 chief sooner or later, but Lu Qi was not worried, after all, from the day he worked for Skyler, he knew that CP0 chief was just one of the countless seats he had served in his life.

While showing off one's abilities and strengths, one also exposes one's shortcomings and shortcomings, and always keeps a certain distance from the core of the world government, so that it is easy to escape.

Originally, Lu Qi was able to grasp this speed very well, but Skyler's recent and upcoming two events made Lu Qi understand that he would not stay in the position of CP0 chief for too long.

It is therefore very important to start alienating the inner circle of the world government at this time.

After all, he had already been a traitor once. If he was still deeply involved in his undercover identity at this time, Skyler might mistake him for another traitor.

It is enough to be able to grasp the resources that are beneficial to Skyler, and there is no need to get closer, so that Skyler can understand that he, Lu Qi, is a loyal person, not a fool.

This is the way of survival for those who have betrayed. Skyler may not doubt him, but Lu Qi will never give Skyler any chance to doubt him.

For the five old stars, his role as CP0 chief is not perfect, but for Skyler, he is a perfect undercover agent, and that is enough.

Standing beside him, Kong looked at the indifference in Lu Qi's lowered eyelids, shook his head, and said, "Actually, the reckless behavior of Morant and the others yesterday is not a bad thing at all."

The moment Kong opened his mouth, Wu Laoxing's dissatisfaction was directly transferred to him, and Kong was not afraid, after all, this was his purpose. Facing Wu Laoxing's dissatisfied and suspicious eyes, Kong explained :

"Without the foreshadowing of Morant and others, the representative countries headed by Alabasta, Dressrosa and Dragon Palace Kingdom would not have so much confidence in our world government's determination to help the franchise countries.

With the help of the world government to purchase arms to help them fight against the revolutionary army, the subsequent fire of increasing investment will be vigorous!

Moreover, didn't the Dragon Palace Kingdom forget to pursue the Saint Charros incident because of these two incidents yesterday?

Of course, Lu Qi's mismanagement is an unavoidable responsibility, but for young people, there is still room for improvement. Punishment is definitely needed, but opportunities must also be given.

What do you think, my lords? "

"Heh! There is no necessary connection between the two as you said. The reason why Dragon Palace Kingdom didn't pursue it is because I did a good job of appeasing it in advance?

Besides, haven't we given Lu Qi a chance? The St. Charros incident could have been avoided. If Lu Qi hadn't done things badly, there would be no need to make up for it now! "

Holding the sword, Old Xing said dissatisfied, but Kong smiled, he had worked with Wu Laoxing for many years, and knew that Wu Laoxing had listened to his words.

Although the words are a bit more serious now, they are also implying that opportunities cannot be given, Kong nodded and said: "What you said is that Lu Qi made mistakes not once or twice, and he really shouldn't.

His strength is enough, but his abilities and experience still need to be polished for a while. In this way, the highest command of CP should not be given to this kid for the time being. "

"Then you are in command."

The blond-haired old star pointed at Kong and said, Kong's face collapsed, he waved his hands quickly, and said, "What can I do, old man? The old man was disturbed by the name earlier, and it is you who are highly respected, and have no experience in planning and scheduling. richer.

Or if you are more troubled, how about managing CP for this kid for a longer period of time, and when he corrects and improves, then delegate this authority to him? "

Hearing what Kong said, Wu Laoxing, who was originally furious, also softened his face at this time.

The five old stars are the symbol of the highest power of the world government. They also have management authority over the CP, but they do not have the highest command of the CP. When necessary, CP members can refuse to carry out the orders of the five old stars.

After all, CP is an institution that directly belongs to the Tianlong people. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the world government, if it hurts the interests of the Tianlong people, the CP's first choice is to protect the interests of the Tianlong people.

Taking back the highest command power, Wu Laoxing also thought about it before, and even hinted at Lu Qi after the Charros incident, but Lu Qi still refused to defend at the time, emphasizing the fact that he was directly under the Tianlong people.

At that time, that was Lu Qi's best answer, which was enough to dispel part of Wu Laoxing's anger, and left himself a final retreat.

It's just that today is the last step for this way of retreat. Kong directly asked Lu Qi to take a step back. After giving up this authority, Lu Qi will have no bargaining chips to impress the five old stars in the future.

Lu Qi also simply saluted at this time, and said: "I also feel that I don't have enough ability to control CP0 well, and it is a fact that I made mistakes. I implore a few adults to take care of CP and make things right!"

Zhixu Laoxing brushed his beard and said, "Then you decide the punishment yourself!"

Hearing this, Lu Qi wrapped his arms around his domineering aura, removed a pair of Hailou stone shackles from his waist, took off the two horizontal nails of the shackles, looked up at Wulaoxing, let go of the arrogance wrapped around his hands, and then abruptly Pierced the sea tower stone horizontal nail into the palm of his hand.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lu Qi's body softened, and he knelt directly on the ground, but he gritted his teeth, put his bleeding hands on the ground, exposed the wound, and said in a trembling voice:

"Wait until the adults feel that the punishment for the crime is over, and then I will take down this sea tower stone."

Lu Qi is an ability user. After the past two years of practice, he is comparable to an admiral of the navy. At this time, he pierced his body with a sea tower stone. It can be said that he completely gave up self-protection.

After entering the Hailou Stone, the strength that Lu Qi can display may not be as good as any CP0, and even if the Hailou Stone is removed, Lu Qi will not be able to recover much combat power in a short time.

It can be said that he completely gave his own life and death to the five old stars.

This scene stunned the five old stars, and the old star holding the sword even helped his own glasses. After confirming that Lu Qi pierced his palm was indeed Hailoushi and not fake, he also took a deep breath .

Then he looked at several colleagues around him. They were also a little surprised at this time, but when they met their eyes, they all nodded. The only blind old star who did not participate in eye contact also said:

"Okay, it's just that this is not a punishment, but a temper for you. In the days to come, study hard and reflect on yourself.

Remember not to give up on yourself, after your tempering is over, this CP will be in your charge. "

"Thank you, my lord."

Lu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head deeply, and threw his body to the ground, giving the five old stars the highest standard and the most demeaning gift.

Sakaski, who folded his arms and looked displeased, was also a little moved, because he suddenly remembered what Huang Yuan said, the news that the revolutionary army would attack Marie Gioia in less than half a month.

How can the disabled Lu Qi stop the Revolutionary Army?
