After hanging up the phone, Ortorun looked at Katakuri and said, “Look, I have the general’s authorization now, so why worry about G-5 not being happy?”
It can be said that Katakuri watched the entire conversation between Altorun and the Sengoku Admiral. To be honest, this conversation somewhat affected his judgment on the navy.
Wasn’t the Warring States general of the Navy always known for his “uprightness”? Why is this the case privately?
“It seems that the Warring States general trusts you very much, Torun.” Katakuri came back to his senses and said with emotion.
“That’s because I have never done anything really out of line, nor have I disappointed him. Although many things are illegal on the surface, in fact, they are in a circle that everyone acquiesces to. As long as you don’t go out of the circle, everything will be done.” Operations can all be understood.” Altorun smiled.
After a pause, Ortorun added: “Actually, these battleships don’t have to be exchanged for money. I also need arms.”
“Are you interested in our Totland arms?” Katakuri asked curiously.
“Yes, when I was at the headquarters, I also saw our navy’s arms evaluation of your Totland. The technology is very advanced and the quality is very good…” Oltorun said.
Katakuri heard this and asked with some confusion: “Why does your navy want to test our Totland’s arms?”
But after saying this, he immediately reacted and said with a smile: “You are evaluating the quality of our arms to judge our conventional combat effectiveness, right?”
“That’s true on one hand.” Ortorun nodded first, and then whispered: “There are also some situations. Although there is no news, I vaguely noticed some changes…”
“What’s the change?” Katakuri lowered his voice and asked softly when he saw Altorun’s mysterious look.
“You know, our navy’s arms, military expenditures, etc. are all in the hands of the world government. Every quarter and year, they are rationed according to the navy’s needs. In other words, our navy has no autonomy. Controlling the military production line, the scientific troops created by the Warring States Generals actually wanted to fight for power in this area at first, but in the end the world government only gave us research and development rights, not production rights…” Ortorun said.
This matter is not a secret, it is an ‘open secret’. Everyone on the sea basically knows this situation, and this situation is also a kind of clamp and rein of the navy by the world government.
After Katakuri nodded, he asked, “What happened now?”
“There are some changes. Since the big incident in Rogge Town, the world’s economic trend has been obviously declining. All kinds of commerce and finance have plummeted. There should be big problems in the financial situation on Mariejoia. In addition, they are very rotten and have a lot of moths inside. I have a good relationship with Porusalino from the Science Corps. When we chatted with phone bugs before, I heard him mention the military production on Mariegioa. The department seems to be preparing to cut the research and development funds for weapons and equipment and other conventional arms to alleviate the increasing economic pressure on the world government…” Ortorun said.
“What?” The Katakuri people were all stunned and asked in surprise: “Cutting down the research and development of their own weapons and equipment? Isn’t that a waste of martial arts? As we all know, one of the reasons why the navy is so strong is because of you. The navy has been using the most advanced weapons and equipment and warships, but now the government of the world is doing this, it will cause endless troubles!”
To be honest, although Oltorun had foreseen this event very early, after all, in the original story, the world government basically relied on the arms business with Kaido to maintain various violent organizations under its command twenty years later. Weapon rationing, Doflamingo is the middleman in this business.
So as soon as Doflamingo fell in Dressrosa, the World Government immediately sent the CP agency to Wano Country to interview Kaido about the future arms business.
I am just afraid that there will be problems here, causing the logistics of violent organizations such as the Navy to be unable to keep up!
But no matter how you think about it, the operation of the World Government is extremely outrageous. Just like Katakuri said, it is completely abolishing martial arts and handing over the production of weapons and ammunition to outsiders. Once Kaido and the others If it is not sold, it is estimated that the Navy will lose its ammunition reserves in up to two years!
Will World Government be able to restart the production line within two years? And does it meet the needs of each of its agencies? If it cannot be satisfied, then the navy will lose these logistics rations, its combat effectiveness will definitely drop off a cliff, and the world government will also fall into weakness because of this. This is unreasonable no matter how you think about it, and in the future
There were endless troubles, but unfortunately, this is what happened.
It can be seen from this that how far has the world government fallen during this period?
Now, signs of this have emerged. The first step is to cut off R&D funds, and then wait for them to get the goods from the pirates at a low price. They find that this saves money, and they do not have to invest huge R&D funds every year to upgrade. I’m afraid that this trend, given the current state of the world’s government, is really unstoppable.
There may be many factors affecting this that Ortorun does not understand and cannot consider. For example, they are really under great financial pressure and must make choices among many necessary things, such as , is it to outsource weapons production, or to reduce the treatment of the Celestial Dragons and other great nobles?
In such an extreme choice situation, it seems that it is not incomprehensible that they finally chose to outsource weapons. After all, they are just pissed.
But these are not things that Altorun should consider.
After Katakuri pondered for a while, he suddenly looked at Oltorun and asked: “So your navy is now testing advanced weapons and equipment on the black market because you have a hunch that after this, it is very likely that it will not only be research and development, but also Production is going to be stopped? From now on, your navy’s weapons and equipment will be outsourced?”
“It sounds outrageous, but it is indeed a possibility, so I just wanted to say hello to you in advance. If the conditions there are suitable, we will start to expand the production line in the next few years. I may not know in the future. What about becoming an arms contractor for the world government?” Altorun reminded with a smile.
Because Kaido had Quinn in his hands, in the original story, he took the order from the World Government.
But now, that guy Caesar is also in the hands of the Big Mom Pirates. Although that guy is not as powerful as Quinn, he is indeed a top scientist in the development of weapons and ammunition. The Big Mom Pirates are fully equipped to compete with all beasts. The strength of the pirate group to compete for arms orders from the world government!
If this money is earned for Kaido, he will use it to open a zoo, but if it is earned for the Big Mom Pirates, it can be used to make Totland and the Kingdoms more prosperous.
Although the Totlan Kingdom is a pirate country, there are also thousands of people from the New World living in it. Considering this aspect, Altolan also feels that he is doing something with “immeasurable merit”.
“Your news is very important. I will talk to my mother about it when I get back.” Katakuri agreed with a serious expression.
In fact, even without this matter, the Big Mom Pirates have recently begun preparations to expand their arms production line. The reason is also very simple. The chaotic frenzy of the Big Pirate Era can now be seen by everyone, and the number of pirates is constantly increasing. , these people can’t always go out and rob with harpoons, right?
If you want to get ahead, you can’t avoid arms. It can be said that this market, combined with today’s background, is very promising, so even if the weapons produced are not sold to the world’s government, there are still many customers. Yes, there is no need to worry about unsalable products!
“Well, I’m telling you this just to cut out the middlemen again. You see, in the future, it may be possible for you to produce the weapons and sell them to the World Government, who will then distribute them to the Navy Headquarters. The Headquarters will Then send it to me, but I have many competitors, and all the major bases are waiting for support. It is impossible to give me too much, and others will not be willing to do so. Moreover, this is really too long in the middle. If we cooperate, then It’s simple, I’ll just get the money from G-5, and then get the goods directly from you, without the involvement of the world government at all, it’s economical and affordable!” Ortorun said with a smile.
Katakuri heard this and was about to say that if you did this, wouldn’t it be against the regulations of your navy?
But when he thought about the phone call between Ortorun and their own general just now, he felt that there was no need to remind him of this. The Navy is so pragmatic!
“Then let’s settle it according to arms. If it’s arms settlement, and considering the value of the news just now, it’s very reasonable for me to settle this account with you for 50 million yuan…” Katakuri patted Oltorun’s shoulder said.
In this way, within a month and a half of taking office as the commander of G-5 Base, Lieutenant General Ban reached a deal with the pirates to resell a batch of arms and warships!
This greatly makes up for the shortcomings of the current G-5 navy and enhances the combat effectiveness of the front-line navy. It is a just and good thing!
