"Okay, okay."
"And, what if, I mean what if, Noah comes to you and asks you how this whereabouts got to the ears of the World Government..."
"It has nothing to do with Lord Spandam. We don't know what happened. Given our friendship, I won't tell you even if you put a knife to my neck."
"Well, that's great. We'll have a chance to cooperate again in the future. The procedures for becoming a member of the World Government are being processed. It will take a few months to complete. This time, the World Government's commitment has been fulfilled."
"Ok, wish us a happy cooperation!"
The two shook hands, each very satisfied with the achievement of their goals.
After dealing with the important matter concerning the sea train, Taizog finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could also report back to the Island of Life with his classmates without any worries.
The task of the recruit training camp in the South China Sea Federation has been basically completed, and only his task is left to be completed. Bonnie and Xiao Feng have already arranged the custody of the surrendered soldiers from the 20 countries in the South China Sea.
He also handed over command to other members of the army. Everyone was ready to go and couldn't wait to go back and receive commendations.
The same goes for Tyzog. This time, Teacher Noah told him that persuading the World Government to arrange for Tom to come and build the Sea Train is second only to the founding of the South Sea Federation. If it is completed, it will be a super plus. He got the Gold-Gold Fruit in advance, and he also needs to make contributions as soon as possible to convince the public.
This time, in front of so many people, I commanded the war, arranged diplomacy, led the oath, and removed the obstacles to the sea train plan. I believe this can be considered a success.
After several days of sailing, the boot camp finally returned.
The group of young people who had experienced the founding war of the South China Sea Federation all returned to the headquarters.
Recalling the battlefield with thousands of ships on the sea, the deafening artillery fire, the cold flashing blades, the blood, the wailing, the screams, and the tsunami that was like a natural disaster at the end, everyone felt that it was a bit unrealistic.
How could I be such a brave person on the battlefield? And when I faced the tsunami at the end, the feeling of life and death was too terrible. I have to practice hard this time to control my own destiny. Just like Xiao Feng and Bonnie, the last two people actually opened a corner of the tsunami, which is really admirable.
Of course, on the way back, we agreed not to say that we were almost wiped out by the tsunami, but that we were all brave and courageous, and we were heroes who were not afraid of the tsunami. If Xiao Feng and his friends hadn't gotten there first, who knows who would have saved us.
As we talked, everyone started laughing. Life is really beautiful.
Fujitora also returned with the ship. He felt happy when he heard the young man's cheerful smile.
He may have had many past experiences and seen many wars, but this was his first time fighting a just war for the benefit and protection of the people. This was a great experience. It was not the high-sounding words of politicians, but the truth he personally felt. Although he could not see the world, his heart was looking towards the light.
My choice this time is absolutely correct. The Revolutionary Army will bring true peace to this world.
After really stepping onto the island, everyone felt as if they were in another world. The Island of Resurrection felt so peaceful and tranquil, like a safe haven that could protect them from the winds and waves of the outside world.
Having experienced the flames of war, their restless hearts calmed down because Teacher Robin was coming to greet them with a smile, holding a book.
"Ala, classmates, long time no see. You have changed a lot compared to before, and you are all much more energetic."
"Long time no see, Mr. Robin."
It's true. I haven't seen the teacher for a long time. I don't think Mr. Robin is scary anymore. Compared with the war, it's not bad to learn from the teacher. Is this the feeling after experiencing the war? The students' state of mind has been sublimated to a certain extent.
"Well, it's good to see you so energetic. Go back and have a good rest today. You just need to write a 1000-word reflection tonight and hand it in to me tomorrow. At the same time, you can take a small test in class. Are you touched?"
……
I really want to go to war now. Damn it! This woman is still so scary!
"I'm just kidding. The students finally got back. The teacher won't be that cruel."
huh~~
"But you still need to prepare your post-war reflections. I'll ask for them in a few days."
Teacher, we were wrong. Let’s return our gratitude to you!
"Okay, all of you go back and get ready. There will be a banquet tonight to welcome you. Many people will come to witness your glorious moment. Dress up nicely."
"Bonnie, Xiaofeng, Taizog, the three of you follow me to the conference room."
The three followed Robin to the meeting room. On the way, Bonnie looked at Tyzog and asked him if he knew what was going on. Tyzog didn't answer her because he didn't know how to answer questions with his eyes.
The reason why Bonnie asked Tyzog was that she found out through this war that she had underestimated this classmate with a slicked-back hair before. He was indeed quite capable. His role in this battle was irreplaceable.
Unfortunately, Teacher Robin who was walking in front of her made her afraid to speak and she could only follow him.
The three of them pushed open the door of the conference room and saw Long and Noah sitting inside, standing carefully in the middle.
“Don’t be so reserved. Everyone has contributed greatly to the revolutionary army this time. You should show your high-spirited side, hahahaha.”
Noah's laughter made the three of them relax a lot, but when they saw Long's cold expression, they fell silent again.
Uh... this guy Long is really a mood destroyer. I quietly signaled Long to smile a little and give the young man some encouragement.
On that calm or intimidating face, there was only a smile that was slowly cracking at the corners of his mouth... He didn't look like a good person.
Forget it, let’s get down to business.
"This South China Sea Federation war is over. Long and I want to hear your true thoughts."
Chapter 215 Signing of the Post-War Treaty
view……
After a long silence, none of the three of them said anything. Bonnie and Xiao Feng were thinking about eating and drinking well and resting on the way back, and they didn't think about anything else. Taizog was usually reluctant to be the first to speak, hiding himself was sometimes an instinct.
"This...this war is not good..."
That’s all, this is what Xiao Feng said, and that’s all. Bonnie was just giggling on the side, which was embarrassing.
Perhaps because he didn't take out anything, Xiao Feng decisively dragged others into the water.
"I think Joelle Bonnie would have a different opinion."
Uh, before I could even stop smiling, my good friend hit me hard. I really wanted to punch him.
"Well...well, Xiao Feng is right!"
This time it was Xiao Feng who showed a sinister smile.
Noah just watched them tease each other. The relationship between the two was still good after the war. But it would take too much time to keep doing this, so he decided to name them.
"Tezog, tell me, you are the one commanding this battle."
"There is nothing much to say about the war itself. It was just a simple war of annihilation. Whether it is conventional forces, high-end combat power, information channels, or supplies, we are all at a crushing level. It is only right that we win.
The more critical battlefield will come after the war. After this battle, I believe that any normal person in the 20 countries in the South China Sea will not consider starting a war with us again, as they have already been completely defeated militarily.
If the war breaks out again, it means that they may have gained new power, but the probability is too small to be ignored.
They have only three options. One is to seek help from the world government, hoping for a turnaround and for the world government to deny our legitimacy.
The second is to blockade and sanction us in other areas, such as business, communication, transportation, etc. This simple and crude method is one of the few things they can do.
Finally, they will lure us into their circle and continue to compete with us in a familiar environment.
But they don't know that we have already reached a cooperation with the World Government and will soon become a recognized member of the World Government. Secondly, in terms of productivity and means of production, we can be completely self-sufficient, but the expansion speed will be affected. In the end, we will not join their circle, but they will join our embrace in the future!"
Well said. It basically described the possible developments after this war. It seems that the war did forge some sharp edges. But seeing Xiao Feng and the other guy over there, I felt a little depressed. Why are they still so stupid?
"So what are we going to do after that?"
"I haven't thought of this yet, but we should use this victory to do something and gain some results."
"Yes, we will continue to use armed forces to deter the 20 countries in the South China Sea and make them pay the price for this defeat. At the very least, we have to sign a few treaties, otherwise all the manpower and material resources we have invested in this war will be wasted."
"Sign a treaty?"
"Yes, don't forget that we also captured a large number of their elite soldiers, which are their key force in deterring other countries and pirates by force. Don't you want to redeem them?
And after seeing our powerful firepower and troops, you really aren't afraid of being destroyed?
We should take this opportunity to open up all areas of cooperation with those 20 countries, such as trade and cultural exchanges. Only in this way can we continue to erode their lifeblood.
You should be more familiar with business matters. If we defeat them from above, I have only one request, which is to try not to affect the survival of the people at the bottom. As for cultural exchanges, Princess Otohime will be in charge of them when she returns, and continue to export some of our ideas to the outside world."
"Business? I understand. Don't worry. The business model of the so-called 20 countries is extremely backward and basically at a relatively primitive stage. Even if we try not to affect the survival of civilians, we can defeat them at any time."
Noah could understand Tyzog's confidence. After all, he had a keen business sense in this area, which was a talent. In addition, he had read books on various business models, so he could easily beat those big businessmen.
As for Bonnie and Xiao Feng, their progress is still too slow. They are still at the stage of not talking too much when they can do things. This makes it difficult for them to take on complex tasks, so they still need to continue to hone their skills.
"Xiao Feng, go back and collect some information about the Sea Train and learn some knowledge about transportation. If you can't find any information, go find Robin. She has it all. I want to see you write something different and of your own."
"Bonnie, go learn about the knowledge related to communication base stations, and then participate in the construction of base stations within the South China Sea Federation as soon as possible. With your strength, you can clean up some dangerous elements within our federation and escort the laying of base stations."
This is all we can do. There will be more and more problems in the future, and manpower will be very scarce. Their growth cycle will be compressed to the limit. I believe that these two are talents who can stand the test.
"Tezog, the World Government has no doubts about our plan to second Tom to build the Sea Train, right?"
"No."
"That's good. This step is crucial. After connecting thoughts and communication, we must also eliminate the barriers in a physical sense. Okay, go back and prepare. After the celebration banquet tonight, you will have more stressful work to deal with."
After they left, Noah and Long discussed some details of the issues.
"Xiao Feng and Bonnie have made progress. They have handled many things very well, but they themselves are not aware of the change in their identities. Since we have chosen them as team leaders, it is a recognition of their future development. They are not just soldiers, but real managers."
"Yes, the other members of the boot camp also performed very well this time. Although they were not outstanding, they completed their respective tasks and are still good enough to serve as middle-level backbones."
"Then it's almost time to arrange for the second batch of students. After the establishment of the South China Sea Federation, there will be many problems to face, and we will need a large number of manpower. Sigh! Robin has worked so hard."
Why didn’t you say this to Robin’s face? Revolutionary Denghuo is also a person who is afraid of the teacher.
"Who will go to negotiate with the Seven Water Capital?"
"I am Mr. Adam, a great writer. I am a cultural celebrity hired by the South China Sea Federation at a high salary. This time, because I have a deep friendship with Qi Shuizhidu, I volunteered to serve as a bridge for communication between the two countries. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Long rolled his eyes and ignored him, as you please.
Chapter 216: The elders from my hometown come back
At night, the Resurrection Island was brightly lit, and in the square, all the students were excitedly waiting for the celebration banquet to begin.
The chef in the cafeteria had already prepared his signature barbecue, fruits, and plenty of drinks.
There are two types of banquets in the world of One Piece. One is the kind of banquets that nobles attend, where they wear exquisite gowns, put on perfect fake smiles, and socialize casually between buffets.
The other is a rough banquet, with big pieces of meat and huge barrels of wine, which can be held indoors or in an open square, with cheerful songs and joyful dances.
The one on the Resurrection Island is the second type. Long personally went to catch a sea king that was said to be delicious. This time he didn't use a disco to cook it, but a traditional cooking method. At this celebration banquet, we can't let the students eat mushy meat.
After everyone arrived, Long, Noah, and Fujitora came to the center of the square, ready to make a summary before the banquet began.
Noah gave the opening speech again. He had accepted his fate and could not rely on others. Moreover, his mood was very different today. Looking at the young faces below and thinking about the blood shed at Cape Trafalgar, he could not help but want to say a few words.
"Our island is called the Island of Resurrection. Many students may not know why the island is called this name. Because in the year 1509 of the Haiyuan calendar, a shocking event happened on this sea.
Several predecessors of our revolutionary army conquered the holy land of Marijoa together, liberated a large number of slaves, and brought them back to the human world safely.
At that time, many people who had nowhere else to go chose to join us in the fight against the World Government. This was our first official stop.
The Resurrection Island means rebirth, and the Resurrection Corps was formed here. Some of the veterans are now stationed on various islands of the South China Sea Federation, some have won the Battle of Cape Trafalgar with you, and some are still patrolling here silently. Of course, some people have left this world forever during these years of missions.
What I want to say is that no matter you are ordinary soldiers or elite soldiers in the training camp, we are all gathered here for one purpose, which is to overthrow this corrupt and backward world government!
For this purpose, countless people will fall. Maybe in the Battle of Trafalgar, maybe in the confrontation with the 20 countries in the South China Sea, maybe in the confrontation with the world government, or even in some unknown corner. But we will not retreat!
We call it the Revolutionary Army. What does it mean? It is an act of achieving justice and restoring order! It is a method of transferring power! It is a way to vent dissatisfaction and change the status quo! It is a historical process of achieving social change!
My hometown is O'Hara. From endless history books, I have been baptized by the wisdom of countless ancestors. Some of these thoughts were brought back to the world because the world needs this kind of power! "
Everyone stared at Noah with burning eyes, their blood heating up unconsciously, as if something was about to burst out of their bodies. At this moment, even Robin no longer cared about Noah taking the blame again in the name of O'Hara, and several children were also listening quietly.
“Remember, our birth is the product of the intensification of class contradictions and social contradictions. If there were no oppression in this world, no polarized contradictions, conflicts and confrontations, we would not exist at all. This is the choice of history!
Our actions are doomed to be violent, a violent action by one class to overthrow another class. In order to maintain its own rule, the world government will do whatever it can to hinder us. In order to achieve the goal of changing the social system, we can only use violence, there is no choice.
Finally, what we do is an inevitable action in the historical development of human society, because it is not determined by people's subjective will, but by the law of social contradictions.
The establishment of the South China Sea Federation represents that our journey has entered a new stage. The gap between us and the world government is gradually narrowing. Our thoughts are endlessly transmitted on the sea, and our young people are constantly growing.
Now, the World Government thinks that its enemy is the Revolutionary Army, me and Dragon, but it is wrong. In the future, the people on the sea are slowly awakening, and the enemy of the World Government will be this world!
In the end, I believe we will win!"
Thunderous applause broke out. Apart from clapping and cheering, everyone couldn't think of a better way to express their emotions. It was said so well. It turns out that our appearance is the choice of the world, and our actions represent the endlessly oppressed people. We are heroes!
In the dragon's pupils, it seemed as if he could see balls of fire appearing here, and finally entering Noah's body like a swallow returning to its nest, making him enveloped by the fire and the endless red. This familiar feeling? Noah's domineering color! What an amazing person, my friend.
He was glad at this moment, very glad that he had gone to the Seven Water City and found the light that could guide the future. He found the person who sounded the death knell for the World Government. He really wanted to scream and vent his joy, but unfortunately, the will to maintain the shape firmly controlled him, what a pity.
Others don't have this restriction. Fujitora has already laughed out loud. He just feels so happy at this moment. A great cause must be led by a great person, and he has found that person.
