Marin Fandor, Navy Headquarters.

Zefa had just entered the headquarters fortress, and along the way, generals and officers at all levels saluted and greeted him.

Zefa is 63 years old this year, and there are fewer and fewer veterans of his generation in the ministry.

In its place, the students trained by Zefa.

Doves or hawks.

Regardless of the philosophy, the Venerable Master is the same.

The yellow ape happened to pass by, and when he saw Zefa, he also stopped and greeted with a smile: "Teacher Zefa." "

Hmm." Zefa answered and walked past the yellow ape.

The yellow ape was also not angry.

When he was in military school, Zefa did not like him.

Of course, the yellow ape also does not like Zefa.

Under the eyes of the yellow ape, Zefa entered the office of the Warring States.

"Sengoku."

As soon as Zefa entered the office, he asked directly: "What happened before Kuzan disappeared?" When

Sengoku heard this, he pretended to be puzzled, "I don't know." "

About the scientific troops, the Warring States will not tell Zefa.

If this matter is poked out, Zefa's temper will be even more explosive.

"I went to find Viktor."

Zefa definitely wouldn't believe it, so he had a showdown: "He told me it was a secret and asked me to come to you." When

Sengoku heard this, he secretly cursed Viktor bastard in his heart.

Zefa asked seriously, "What happened?"

Sengoku thought for a moment and said, "Viktor is right, this is indeed a secret.

Zefa frowned, "So, Kuzan's disappearance is related to secrets."

"I can't answer you." Sengoku shook his head, "However, I can assure you that I will definitely get Kuzan back and talk to him face to face." "

Warring States' words are a delaying measure, and he has no clear time.

Knock knock.

At this time, there was a knock outside the door.

"Come in."

Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly shouted towards the door.

He was now worried that there was no excuse to get rid of Zefa.

No matter what happens later, Sengoku can untie and leave.

Tsuru walked in.

Sengoku saw Tsuru, and Tsuru said to Sengoku: "Sengoku, the commander-in-chief let us go to Mary Joa."

"I see."

Sengoku stood up and said to Zefa: "Zefa, I have some things to deal with now, you go back first."

With that, Sengoku and Tsuru left the office.

When Sengoku and Tsuru left the office, Sengoku looked back, and before Zefa came out, he asked Tsuru in a low voice, "Why don't I remember that the commander-in-chief was looking for us?"

Tsuru said, "Just saw Zefa coming to you, and I knew that you were going to be in trouble. "

Thank you."

Sengoku sighed.

Tsuru showed a solemn expression, "However, we do have to go to the space to discuss how to solve the disappearance of Kuzan." "

The general is missing, this is not a joke!

......

Watch seagulls skim across the sea and let the sea breeze ruffle their hair.

The pheasant lay on the deck, dressed like an adventurer traveling around.

It has been three months since the Pank Hassad affair ended.

In the past three months, the pheasant has gone to many places.

Instead of riding his bike again, he took the boat.

Merchant ships, cargo ships, passenger ships, cruise ships, and even passing pirate ships.

In short, ships other than warships will become the means of transportation for the pheasant.

"Sir, lunch is ready."

At this time, a young girl with black hair came to the pheasant.

The girl's name is Castle.

Castle is the daughter of the ship's owner and is usually responsible for washing and cooking for the men on board.

His father made a living transporting goods.

"Thank you." The green pheasant opened his eyes and thanked him.

Lunch was fried rice with squid and garnished with some chickpeas and carrots.

The pheasant carried the rice bowl, and like the sailors, he randomly found a place on the deck and sat down cross-legged to eat.

At this time, Castle carried the basket and came to the bottom of the mast, and she prepared to bring food to the sailors on the mast.

They are cargo ships that run transport, and there is no combat capability on board.

Therefore, sailors on the mast need to be vigilant.

They need to keep an eye on the situation at sea.

If pirates are found, they must be alerted as soon as possible.

At this time, the sailors will abandon the heavy cargo and make the hull lighter to escape the pirates.

Although the loss of goods will cost them a lot of money, it is the most important thing to save their lives.

The pheasant watched it all.

That's grounded.

The people at the bottom have done their best to beware of pirates and survive.

However, this also reflects another thing.

The Navy still leaves a lot to be desired.

The existence of pirates has brought a great impact on people's lives.

Fortunately, the cargo ship was lucky and did not encounter pirates today.

The cargo ship arrived at its destination, the port of Anteas.

The port of Anteyas is not very lively, one might even say depression.

It belongs to the Kingdom of Rodria.

The Kingdom of Rodria is a member of the World Government.

"Port entry tax."

"500 Bailey per person."

"Ship berthing tax."

"100,000 Baileys a day."

"Cargo handling tax, 500 Bailey a ton."

"Port fire prevention fee."

"Port cleaning fee."

On the pier, the tax collector of the Kingdom of Rodria is collecting taxes.

The project's numerous taxes and fees made the pheasant frown when he heard it.

"Adult, how has it gone up again, this is a full double more than the last time, we can't make money at all after this trip."

Castle's father, the ship's owner, Will, expressed his 'dissatisfaction' with some embarrassment.

"I can't help it, this year's heavenly gold has risen."

"In addition, the repair and maintenance of naval warships also cost money."

"Do you want to be sold into slavery without their protection?"

The tax collector said nonchalantly.

"But it's only gone up last month..."

mumbled Will .

The tax collector was too lazy to make small talk with Will, and he said impatiently: "Either pay the money to enter the port, or drive the ship back." "

Hey."

"These people are worse than pirates!"

"The days are running out."

Will shook his head, unwillingly, reluctantly handing over the money.

Pirates are robbed by robbery, and you can find a way to avoid them.

However, the ruler is 'legal' to plunder and cannot but surrender.

Failure to hand it over is illegal.

The pheasant sees it all.

During this time, the pheasant saw that many places were paying money to the navy.

Each branch of the Navy charges a 'protection fee'.

Of course, this money was not collected directly by the navy, but by local officials, as well as nobles.

In this way, local officials, or nobles, can make another profit.

Heavenly gold, and protection money for the Navy.

I heard that if these two sums of money are not given, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you do not pay the heavenly gold, you will lose your eligibility as a member of the world government, and all citizens will lose their 'human rights'.

'Human rights' here means literally.

The people of the whole country lose their right to be human beings and are freely sold as animals.

And the navy does not receive protection money, and in the event of a pirate attack, it will not actively attack.

If the navy arrives three or five hours late, the whole city is finished.

The green pheasant carried the bag and disembarked.

Because he knew that even if he posed as a senior admiral, things here would still not be manageable.

Viktor told him.

If you want to achieve your goals, you have to do whatever it takes.

Indeed, there are some things that conventional methods really don't work.
