The relationship between Yuichiro Tsugakuni and Ryu is very strange. In terms of private feelings, they actually don't have that much contact. When Yuichiro Tsugakuni first joined the navy, Ryu was already a relatively popular general in the headquarters.
During that period, Long was always on missions outside. For a long time, Long's position was always torn between the Self-Defense Force and the Navy.
Although Long had heard Garp talk about Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Long mostly focused on pursuing his own life.
What really made Yuichiro Tsugakuni come into Dragon's sight was that Garp sent Dragon to the Boeing Islands to test the effectiveness of Yuichiro Tsugakuni's training.
At that time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni had awakened his Conqueror's Haki, and his Armament Haki and Observation Haki had also grown to a certain level. He was young and strong, and such a Yoriichi Tsugakuni left a very deep impression on Ryu.
But since then, the contact between Long and Jiguo Yuanyi has been very limited.
The relationship between the two of them is more due to the existence of Garp as a bridge.
Ryu is Garp's son, and Yoriichi Tsugikuni is one of the few young people that Garp has kept by his side and mentored during his years in the Navy.
However, since Garp's death, the bridge that connects Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Ryu has actually been cut off.
The reason why Long went to have tea with Ji Guoyuan in the evening was not because he was meeting an old friend.
After Garp's death, their personal relationship was actually completely unrelated and their emotions had reached a freezing point.
Whether it was Long or Tsugukuni Yoriichi, both of them felt that there seemed to be a layer between them when they were with each other, and they could no longer communicate sincerely in private.
Garp's death had a huge impact.
The relationship between the leaders of the Revolutionary Army and the New Navy is such that the cooperation between these two major forces cannot be truly close.
The two sides are only cooperating on certain things. At best, they are parallel forces with ordinary relations and there is no deep-rooted binding relationship.
The cooperation between the two parties is merely an exchange of interests.
This point was also vividly reflected in the subsequent negotiations between the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army.
After several days of negotiations, the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army reached a cooperation intention, and the New Navy would provide the Revolutionary Army with daily necessities and some war weapons.
In return, the price the revolutionary army needs to pay is money.
While the Revolutionary Army was short of supplies, strictly speaking, they weren't short of money. Their predicament was the political blockade imposed by the World Government's member states on the islands and kingdoms controlled by the Revolutionary Army, preventing them from purchasing large quantities of supplies even if they had the money.
Although things can be bought on the black market, on the one hand the quantity is not large enough, and on the other hand the price is far beyond the market price. Although the revolutionary army can use this method to transition in the short term, if they want to continue to grow, they cannot be restricted by the market size of the black market.
Forces like the Revolutionary Army have eliminated countless nobles, royal families, and wealthy businessmen in the process of their growth, and the speed at which they accumulated wealth is simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The biggest problem plaguing the revolutionary army is the inability to use the wealth in their hands at a reasonable value.
However, the new navy, which has abundant island resources, can effectively solve this difficulty of the revolutionary army.
Unlike the Revolutionary Army, the islands controlled by the New Navy no longer have so-called "local governments", and the resources of all islands are allocated uniformly to a certain extent.
The value of items is also subject to macro-control by the new navy, so there will not be a situation where an island is rich in minerals, but the people on the island need to work endlessly to barely fill their stomachs.
This is related to the new navy's advanced transportation capabilities, and is also the result of eliminating the need to protect regional self-interests.
During the few days at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, although Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro himself did not get involved in the more detailed cooperation plan, under Long's arrangement, Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro also took this opportunity to get a good understanding of the current operating model of the Revolutionary Army.
If both forces are to cooperate in the future, it is necessary for them to have a deeper understanding of each other.
When Yoriichi learned that Dragon, who had reached a cooperation intention at this stage, still needed to obtain the consent of different islands, Yoriichi finally understood what the Revolutionary Army's ruling model was like.
In other words, the revolutionary army did not rule the places where they completed the revolution at all.
After overthrowing the original princes and nobles, the islands that "completed the revolution" voted to elect the new leaders of their new countries. As for the revolutionary army? At best, they played the role of "mercenaries", helping the people of those countries complete the transformation and then "retired" to move to new places to help a new group of people.
Typical case of killing without burying.
Such an approach also left considerable hidden dangers for the expansion of the revolutionary army.
Some countries are already rich in resources, but the people can't make a living simply because of the double oppression of heavenly gold and princes and nobles. After the revolutionary army helped them remove the mountains on their shoulders, the people were able to live a life of self-reliance and plenty of food and clothing through hard work.
However, there are also many countries whose geographical environments are similar to that of Baldigo, where the revolutionary army headquarters is located. Not only is agriculture underdeveloped, but the natural resources are also very limited, and the economic value is not that high.
After encountering the commercial blockade by the member states of the World Government, it has become difficult for the citizens of these countries to live a normal life.
In addition to these two situations, there is a more extreme situation in the countries where the revolutionary army helps the revolution, that is, the newly formed government administrative system by the people is rapidly corrupt.
Ordinary people suddenly gained power, and their degeneration was unimaginable to others. And these people once again became obstacles to the revolutionary army's continued progress.
Such things have happened countless times in the history that Ji Guoyuan is familiar with. How many people can become a heroic leader like Zhu Baba? Most people are like the King of Rebellion who started to live a life of drunkenness and debauchery after gaining power.
Over the years, after understanding the new naval operating model, Long has actually realized that his approach may not be able to enable those countries that have completed the transformation to prosper quickly.
It's just that he wanted to change, but he simply couldn't do that.
Because the rebound is huge
How could someone who already holds power be so willing to give up the power he has worked so hard to obtain just because of a word from you, Long?
How can a new power transition be completed without bloodshed?
In this regard, Long was ultimately unable to make up his mind to eliminate the people whom he had personally sent to leadership positions.
For the sake of the revolutionary army's reputation and dignity, even if Long wants to trade with the countries he has helped, he needs the approval of the other party's ruling class.
It is naturally impossible for people from different countries and different nationalities to have the same thoughts.
Every country wants to sell its own products at a high price, and hopes that the things it buys from other countries are cheap enough, thus exploiting the lives of citizens of other countries in disguise, in order to support the prosperous lives of its own citizens.
A force like the Revolutionary Army has no way of reconciling conflicts between countries.
During these days in Baldigo, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi had predicted the fate of the Revolutionary Army based on his understanding of the Revolutionary Army.
Dragon's starting point is really good. He hopes that people can wake up and stand up to resist the oppression of the Celestial Dragons and the kingdom's nobles.
But the hidden problems are just as big.
In this regard, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's vision is far superior to Ryu's.
Tip Dragon to change the status quo of the Revolutionary Army? !
If dragons could do it, they would have taken action long ago.
The power of the Revolutionary Army is limited. It is already very difficult for it to cope with the pressure from the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. It is simply impossible to coordinate the management of the actual control area.
Even if there were no constraints from the established interest groups, the revolutionary army would not have so many talented people to use.
From this perspective, Tsugikuni Yuichi's decision to build a school in Shinsekai and launch a so-called "literacy campaign" was a perfect decision. Not all students who graduated from the Naval Academy would become members of the new navy, but as long as the school existed, the new navy would have a steady stream of new, well-educated recruits.
This is a long-term plan and we cannot focus on immediate gains and losses.
The end of 1518 in the Haiyuan calendar.
The New Navy, who had stayed in Baldigo for a long time, finally ended their negotiations with the Revolutionary Army and set sail.
Major Mason was promoted to lieutenant colonel by Yuichiro Tsugukuni on the front line and stayed in Baldigo. As a bridge of communication between the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army, he was stationed at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, responsible for coordinating and solving some problems encountered in the cooperation between the two sides.
The Revolutionary Army sent the Eastern Army's deputy commander, Ashiru, to be stationed in Wanguo. His mission was the same as Mason's, and he was also responsible for coordinating problems that arose during the cooperation.
Obviously, compared with the New Navy, the Revolutionary Army is undoubtedly the party that attaches more importance to this cooperation.
For the New Navy, failure to cooperate would simply mean a loss of a source of funds; but for the Revolutionary Army, if cooperation failed, it would be extremely difficult for them to maintain stability at the current stage, let alone expansion.
February 1519 in the Haiyuan calendar.
Just a few months after the New Navy and the Revolutionary Army reached a cooperation intention, the Navy Headquarters noticed that the commotion caused by the Revolutionary Army in the four seas seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
Moreover, the speed of the revolutionary army's expansion became very rapid. At the same time, the Navy Headquarters also noticed that the weapons in the hands of those revolutionary soldiers suddenly became more sophisticated.
The stability and lethality of the revolutionary army's firearms have been greatly improved. Not only that, artillery and warships have also appeared in the revolutionary army. The range of the warship shells far exceeds that of the artillery circulating in the civilian population, and is even longer than the range of the naval guns currently used by their naval headquarters.
The New Navy naturally held back when it came to the supply of arms. The most advanced weapons would naturally not be given to the Revolutionary Army. The weapons sold were only those obtained by the early Revolutionary Army. Some were made when the technology was not yet mature, and some were simply snatched from pirates.
But even such weapons are far more powerful than those originally used by most of the revolutionary army.
The revolutionary army has its own arsenal, but due to the blockade of resources, it cannot produce any cutting-edge weapons.
As for the New Navy, they were located in the New World and had long since broken the shackles of the World Government's sanctions.
Marine Headquarters Marlin Ford.
"Something's wrong. The Revolutionary Army's combat effectiveness has suddenly increased so much. This is very strange."
Zhan Guo got some information about the revolutionary army in the office. After a quick glance, he frowned.
In the past, the revolutionary army would take several months or even more to complete the transformation of a country, but in just two months since the beginning of the year, battle reports about the revolutionary army have been sent to him several times.
In just two months, nearly thirty countries around the world have been overthrown.
This was something that the revolutionary army could only accomplish in one or even two years in the past.
More than 30 countries are certainly not worth mentioning compared to the size of the World Government, which is an integration of tens of thousands of countries. Otherwise, the focus of the Navy Headquarters would not have been on pirates and the new navy.
But now, the terrifying development momentum of the revolutionary army has made Zhan Guo smell something unusual.
"What on earth happened to the revolutionary army?"
"Did they find some talented weapons scientist?"
"It shouldn't be that simple. With such rapid expansion, can the logistics keep up?!"
Just when the Navy Headquarters turned its attention to the Revolutionary Army.
The new navy is also accelerating its pace of unifying the new world.
After Guo Yuanyi returned to Wanguo, the top fighters were finally able to break away from the busy paperwork and return to the front line.
In the absence of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, in order to prevent any mishaps in the base camp, Zephyr, Mihawk, Ichisho, Kuzan and others often avoid going out to sea if possible. Even if there are difficult opponents, they act in batches. It is impossible for the strong men to go out in full force.
Staying at the base camp, they can only focus their energy on administrative work.
But with the return of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, he can make decisions on all matters. He only needs a group of professionals headed by Tensei to assist him to complete those administrative tasks. More importantly, with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni in charge of Wanguo, there is no need to worry about the safety of the base camp.
After ensuring the safety of the base camp, the top combat forces of the new navy also led their teams out to sea to eliminate the large pirate gangs in the New World.
For a time, the new navy set off a bloody storm in the New World.
Morgans' newspapers almost always contain first-hand information from the new navy every day. Perhaps today it was reported that a pirate group with a bounty of over 100 million was wiped out by Kuzan, and two days later it would be reported that a big pirate was captured and killed by Yixiao's team.
Under such intensive information bombardment, the public has even gradually become immune to it, to the point that they have an illusion that pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million are just "small pirates" that the new navy can easily destroy.
However, under the new navy's cleanup offensive, the ones who suffered the most were not the pirates, but the navy headquarters.
Their tentacles cannot reach the New World, and there are not so many big pirates active under their noses. Moreover, they are restricted by combat power. Officers below the admiral of the Marine Headquarters can get rid of big pirates with a bounty of 40 or 50 million and it is already reported in the newspapers, but compared with the terrifying record of the New Navy, it is nothing.
They have no way to send admiral-level combat forces to the front line to "slaughter pigs" like the new navy.
Under such a strong contrast, Zhan Guo could no longer sit still. Following Borsalino's suggestion, he prepared to recall the two young men, Ace and Sabo, who were training outside.
Their naval headquarters urgently needs star navy members who can compete with the new navy. Two natural-type people with terrifying strength and potential are naturally the best "stars".
Moreover, compared with the famous admirals of the new navy, Ace and Sabo are younger and can give people more room for imagination.
When the Warring States period was overwhelmed by the affairs of the revolutionary army and the new navy, he naturally relaxed his supervision of his children.
In May, Luffy returned to his hometown to pay respects to his grandfather and celebrate his 16th birthday with his family. However, to everyone's surprise, Luffy got lost while being cared for by his two older brothers, Ace and Sabo.
When Sengoku heard about Luffy again, he heard that he had injured Colonel Monka of the 153rd Branch in Shields Town in the East China Sea and had become a pirate.
