"You are in such good spirits, go back and continue to practice."
"Yes."
Chapter 161 Noah, is that you?
In the conference room, Zefa and Yixiao sat opposite each other.
"Now can you tell me why you want to fight with me?"
Yixiao didn't reply, but threw out a stack of documents and motioned for Zefa to take a look.
"In February of the year 1507 in the Haiyuan calendar, pirates attacked and burned all the coastal towns, but the ports were left unscathed.
In April 1507 of the Haiyuan calendar, it was forced to pay most of its financial resources to the world's member states in exchange for protection.
In July of 1507 of the Haiyuan calendar, pirates attacked again. Afterwards, the South China Sea Navy investigated the situation and the case was left unresolved.
At the end of 1507 in the Haiyuan calendar, two neighboring countries went to war over missing soldiers on their own territory and reported this to the navy, but received no response.
Finally, who will save us? "
This pile of documents records in detail the struggle of this country in the final stage. The South China Sea Navy has come here countless times, but the result has not changed. Instead, every time they come, they bring some disasters. Zefa becomes more and more angry as he reads. How can he not see the problem with the things in these?
"So, Navy, why are you here this time? This country has just been reborn and cannot withstand the baptism of war. However, for the sake of life, some battles cannot be avoided!"
"This... I will ask the intelligence officers accompanying the army to seriously investigate these matters. We are here this time... because we received reports from the member states of the world that someone is subverting the regime in the South China Sea and undermining the unity and stability of the sea."
"Disrupting the peace? This country has currently joined the South China Sea Federation, an alliance of small countries in the South China Sea. It has not yet been officially reported to the World Government. I was invited by these countries to come and protect them.
Maybe my justice is more acceptable to them."
Damn it, this blind swordsman is talking about justice in front of the navy. Zefa can’t tolerate such mockery!
"Do you know what justice is?"
"How about a federation that feeds the people, provides them with a safe living environment, improves their quality of life, and provides them with opportunities for education? My responsibility is to provide them with a safe living environment, and it is because of this righteous act that I came here."
"We will investigate these ourselves!" Zefa replied sternly.
"Got it. Please take a serious look at the people living here and what kind of life they lead. Please also investigate carefully why the people here lived like this before."
"We will."
Zefa was very depressed. He didn't seem to win the fight, and his position was a little untenable, and he didn't win the argument. He was extremely annoyed. Damn Zhan Guo, is he deliberately taking revenge on me?
Sengoku of Marinford sneezed. It must be that old guy Zefa who was scolding me.
The moment he walked out the door, Yixiao stopped, looked at Zefa, and asked the last two questions.
“Excuse me, are all your thoughts and actions just?
Is justice delayed still justice?"
Without waiting for a reply, he walked out. Zefa was left alone in the room, feeling a sense of suffocation, because he found that all the topics were guided by Yixiao, and he didn't ask clearly what kind of country the South China Sea Federation was until the end of the conversation.
This is one of the psychological tactics of Noahism. Leaving a blank space at the end of a sentence can make the other party feel bothered for a long time. As expected, Zefa did not sleep that night and felt uncomfortable.
The next day, he called the intelligence officer and asked him to thoroughly investigate who had been destroying the stability and order here in the past few years, and to investigate the South China Sea Federation. He would not listen to one side and believe it. He had not suffered such a loss since he was 25 years old.
Then Zefa changed into casual clothes and went to this small country to get to know the ordinary people.
The problem is that after he changed into his regular clothes, he looked a little bit like a good guy, with purple hair, black sunglasses, exploding muscles, and some exposed scars, he looked unjust no matter how you looked at him.
After hitting a wall several times, I found Rosinante who was struggling in the boot camp. This guy was average in height and build, with short blond hair, harmless eyes and temperament, and was perfect for communication.
"Rosinante, this time your mission is to investigate the real living standards of the people in the South Sea Federation and see if the blind swordsman is lying. Originally, this kind of small matter could be handed over to the intelligence officer, but it's too official and it's difficult to get any in-depth information. I'll leave the private investigation to you."
"Yes, Teacher Zefa."
Then the two men came out onto the street again.
"Hey, didn't that purple-haired villain come here before? Why did he bring people here again this time? Could we have been kidnapped by him? Should we notify the federal guards..."
Hearing such words, Zefa's face turned red. You bunch of ignorant guys, I am a former admiral of the navy. Isn't it embarrassing for me to say this in front of my new students?
Rossinante has some emotional intelligence, and remaining silent at this time is the greatest help to Teacher Zefa.
"Ahem, when I came out to see this country a few days ago, I might have revealed some of my temperament, which caused people to misunderstand me a little bit."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zefa, I understand everything. Just leave this kind of small matter to me."
Rocinante quickly integrated into the group at a speed that even Zefa could not imagine. Looking at this blond kid talking and laughing with everyone, Zefa could do nothing but sit in the distance and sigh at judging people by their appearance.
I have to say that Rosinante's temperament is really gentle. Because of his fruit ability and his undercover work, he couldn't speak for a few years. After ending his undercover career, Rosinante returned to normal life and became no different from a chatterbox, just right for chatting with those people about family matters.
After visiting with Rossinandi for a few days, the final conclusion is that the South China Sea Federation is abnormal, very abnormal. How can there be such a ruling class that cares about the people? There are people who guide farming. What is scientific farming? Can it increase the yield per mu? And scientific breeding? Let the people not only have food, but also meat? "Postpartum Care for Sows" sounds like a peerless divine book.
What is even more incredible is that the taxation is also at a normal level, with no extra taxes. Public security is maintained by a special team, and all the pirates and some extortionists who come to attack are driven away, and those who run slower are caught and tried. Those with serious crimes are directly executed, and those with lighter crimes are reformed through labor.
They are also building schools to give children the opportunity to receive education. What kind of paradise country is this? Are you so rich?
Both Zefa and Rocinante felt like they were seeing a country in a dream, but it also felt very familiar, as if they had seen such a future somewhere before.
!
I remember now, isn’t this Noah’s book?
"Changing the World Starts with Small Things"
Chapter 162 This is the territory of the revolutionary army!
It was awkward because Zefa and Rosinante both remembered the book at the same time.
At present, neither Zefa nor Rocinante knows that the other has read this book, so now is the time to compete with each other in acting skills.
"Hahaha, I see. It seems that this South China Sea Federation is still quite something."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zefa, we have learned almost everything about this place. Can we go back now? We still have training to complete today."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go back and exercise."
After returning to the camp, Zefa locked himself in the room, opened his luggage, took out the book that Noah had given him a long time ago, and read it carefully, comparing it one by one with the current development status of the country.
This article, citizens' right to education, is in its early stages and has not yet been fully popularized.
This one, land reform, has been completed, and everyone in the country has their own land.
This one, improve productivity, we have it, increase output, improve production efficiency, reduce costs and expenses, and optimize. This one is already there.
"Fuck, this is the Revolutionary Army!"
Zefa couldn't help but swear. He really didn't expect that there was a big fish. The big fish fought with him very aggressively and humiliated him with words.
"What happened to Mr. Zefa?"
The soldier at the door was a little confused when he heard Zefa's swearing inside. Teacher Zefa has been a little weird lately, always hanging out in casual clothes with the new guy Rosinante. He's a street urchin.
"Ahem, it's okay."
No wonder this country is so abnormal, its attitude towards civilians is so good, and some of its systems are so different from the general management model on the sea. This is clearly the plan of the hateful guy Noah, so the so-called person who destroyed the stability and unity of the South China Sea has been found.
What Noah wants to destroy is not just the South China Sea, but the whole world!
Thinking of this, Zefa got a little overwhelmed, and planned to find out with a smile, this guy who dared to open his mouth to ask whether what he did was just, had a lot to hide.
After returning to the barracks, Rosinante also took out a book hidden in his luggage and studied it like Zefa. He concluded that Mr. Noah was putting theory into practice. At present, those theories are all right and have completely solved the survival problem of this country. Then what are the things done by the world government? And what should I do? The adopted son of the Warring States fell into deep thought...
It can only be said that the transmission of fire with actual products has been very successful and is no longer a theoretical castle in the air.
Zefa on the other side walked out of the barracks angrily and walked along the street towards the office of the South China Federation.
But as he walked, he slowed down because he saw that the residents on the roadside all had smiles on their faces.
The spirit of this country is significantly different from that of residents in other places. There is a faint spirit of optimism, as if as long as you are willing to work hard, there will be a bright future.
Recalling the visit with Rosinante.
In a pub, a worker who had just finished work said.
"Now we have work to do, food to eat, and no pirates to burn, kill, and plunder. I never imagined such a good life before.
Unfortunately, they came too late. My lover didn't make it to this day. How long do you think we can live like this now?"
A nearby tavern owner said:
"Who knows? Didn't the fishman leader of the South Sea Federation tell us to trust them and arm ourselves? If there are bad guys who come to destroy our lives, we can get through it as long as we unite.
There is some truth in what he said. We can't just rely on others. We should have some conscience. I will definitely try my best when the time comes. My son is about to enter the new school. He can become an official in the South Sea Federation in the future. It's better than selling wine here."
Others also made comments one after another, saying things they would never have said before.
This kind of satisfaction with current life but fear of the future is the mentality of most people here.
At this time, Zefa was a little confused. He felt that his identity and position might not make him a good person to the residents here.
He came to the pub again, wanting to ask everyone what they thought about the navy.
"The Navy? The guys in white?"
"We are not qualified to comment on this kind of official."
"You are wrong. The instructors of the South China Sea Federation who went to the countryside said that there is no such thing as an official. We are all human beings. There is no need to divide us into different levels."
After a dispute, the boss finally suppressed it.
"I'm just asking the navy's opinion. Don't talk nonsense. Considering that this guy bought so many drinks, you should just say a few nice words."
"Ahem, let me say a few words. Navy, I heard that there are two words embroidered on the back of their leader, called justice, right?
This is nonsense. Let’s just say the navy who came here before, they only came when the pirates had run away without a trace, and they were afraid of running into them and had to say hello or something.
In the end, they didn't do anything, but they still wanted an attendance fee, this fee, that fee, which is not much different from pirates' open robbery. They have guns in their hands, and what they say is what they want. In the end, the pirates are afraid that the navy will come again after they come. What kind of thing is this? I think they are in the same group."
Zefa's face was burning with anger after hearing these words, and every word that others added later made him feel as if a knife was stabbed in the heart. Finally, he walked back to the camp silently, and decided to think about the trouble of finding Yixiao again. Instead, he took out the book given by Noah and read it again, and at the same time combined with the actual situation and thought deeply.
A few days later, the intelligence officer returned from the two neighboring world member countries, brought the intelligence he had collected, and handed it to Zefa.
There are internal changes in the two countries during this period, and speculation that the expedition to sea half a year ago was destroyed by a waterspout, etc. The intelligence officer specifically reminded that the waterspout that destroyed the armies of the two countries was extremely abnormal, and it might have been caused by a fruit ability user, and further investigation was needed.
As for the South China Sea Federation, there is no big problem. Even the intelligence officers don't care about how the lower-class people live. Who would care about the survival of a small country in the South China Sea? At the same time, there are some petitions from the two world member countries.
"An unknown force has forced a small country to join the South China Sea Federation, and the people are suffering. As a member of the World Federation, we wanted to contribute to the construction of the South China Sea, but unfortunately we were blocked by the enemy. I hope the World Government and the Navy can make decisions for the people and eradicate the evil organization that undermines the stability of the sea?"
Haha, Zefa sneered twice.
"Okay, leave the information here for now. I will report to the marshal."
"Yes!"
Chapter 163: Let Us Meet
A few days later, Zefa made up his mind and found Yixiao.
"To answer your two questions that day, everything I think and do is justice. Second, justice delayed is justice denied."
Yixiao nodded in admiration. He had heard Noah's analysis of the navy. In Noah's analysis, the navy, as the violent agency of the world government to rule the world, must focus on maintaining rule and order in everything it does, and is nominally the righteous party.
Because before, there were only two openly opposing camps in the ocean, the navy and the pirates. The World Government and the Allied Nations did not count.
Civilians have no choice but to follow the navy, so the navy can be called just in name, and then many schools of justice have emerged within the navy. But in the universal concept, many actions of the navy cannot be called just, such as the massacre of civilians.
In the world where Noah lived in his previous life, this behavior was absolutely wrong. It was not the first time that civilians were massacred in order to maintain the ruling status of the world government.
The closer one is Ohara Demon Slayer Order, the destruction of scholars, and the refugee civilians. The farther one is the Nanhai Posthumous Child Incident, in which pregnant women in that sea area were killed in order to search for the bloodline of the Pirate King.
When this kind of thing happens, there is little condemnation, only sympathy. The navy did this, and it was still justice. Because pirates are too evil, the navy that fights against them can only be just, so that people always have a hope to place.
This is a world of worse than worse, and a world of moral collapse. Many things, including the navy and pirates, and even the things that the victims are accustomed to are so incredible.
Zefa can say with confidence that everything he does is just and that is worthy of admiration! This kind of justice that conforms to the universal values of the public is amazing.
Of course, Akainu can also say this, he himself thinks so, in order to maintain the so-called absolute justice...
As for justice delayed is not justice, justice must have the principles of "timeliness, gratuitousness, and sufficiency". This sentence is written in Noah's book. A country suffered a lot, and the navy that came to enforce procedural justice directly trampled on these things, and even the result was unjust.
So when Zefa led his troops to investigate, even if he dealt with the previous group of navy men, what did all the suffering and the civilians whose families had been broken up over the years matter?
