Chapter 1291 Alabasta and the Sea Train
"Ikarem, please take everyone away first, and I'll talk to him." Weiwei was also startled when a big guy like Guan Liyuan suddenly appeared in front of her, but she calmed down immediately.
"Your Highness Princess..." Ikarem was obviously not at ease.
"Back off first!" Weiwei said firmly.
Firstly, Weiwei really wanted to talk to the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army. Secondly... Weiwei had already seen at this time that Ikarem and several other guards could not stop the other party at all. If they continued to block them, they might cause harm. unnecessary casualties.
"Wise decision." Guan Liyuan said.
Icarem glared at Guan Liyuan bitterly, and then dispersed around with eight guards, but still stared in the direction of Guan Liyuan and Weiwei.
If Guan Liyuan does anything wrong, Ikarem will let him know how powerful he is even if he puts his life on the line!
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Weiwei asked.
Even when facing Guan Liyuan, who was powerful and whose stance seemed different from hers, Weiwei did not show much fear or panic. Her waist-length blue hair shone brightly in the moonlight...
Looking at Weiwei like this, Guan Liyuan showed admiration - he wanted to add one more candidate to the "Hero Project".
But it's too early to say this. After all, what Weiwei is thinking about now is how to kick all the revolutionary troops out of Alabasta.
"Let's talk about the things that the Neferutali Royal Family is most interested in! For example...how to save Alabasta in danger." Guan Liyuan is like an ancient lobbyist. When they meet, he will say "I just want to save you." Tone.
Although Weiwei was not so angry that she brought out a cauldron and wanted to cook him, she could not help but show some anger and said, "If you leave Alabasta now, everything will be settled, right?"
"No, Princess Weiwei's view is too superficial." Guan Liyuan said and shook his head.
"Are you not responsible for the current civil strife in this country?" Weiwei asked.
"'Civil unrest' is just a small problem. If we want to stop it, we can stop it at any time. However, the world government headed by the Tianlong people does not mean that they will not exist if you want them to not exist." Guan Liyuan said.
"So what? At least the World Government has not harmed Alabasta." Weiwei said.
"But that's only for now... If we don't appear, in two years at most, both Alabasta and the Neferutali royal family will become existences that have been wiped out by the world government."
"You don't think that I would believe this, do you?" Weiwei asked.
"Oh? You should know the way the Tianlong people behave, right? After all, you almost became one of them." Guan Liyuan said.
"Indeed they...but that's not the reason for Alabasta to go to war with the World Government!" Weiwei said hesitantly.
What are those Dracos? Weiwei, who had accompanied Kobra to the World Government Conference when she was a child, naturally knew very well, and she was ashamed of them deep down.
However, no matter how open-minded the Neferutali royal family is, at most they only regard the people as the main body of the country, and cannot regard liberating the whole world as their goal. Otherwise, Alabasta would have been suppressed by the world government long ago.
"What if one day they will target Alabasta?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"This is just your assumption. Is it just that you think..."
Weiwei was interrupted by Guan Liyuan mid-sentence: "Princess Weiwei, please understand that the Tianlong people did not do anything to you before, partly because you are not weak but not strong enough, and partly because you are too poor... …As for the so-called love for the emperor eight hundred years ago and respect for the Neferutari royal family, they are negligible.”
Weiwei was silent for a while after hearing this, but then she said: "So what? Before this, although Alabasta was barren, it was still a member of the World Government, and its citizens gradually became rich, until you guys came after……"
"Ahem, Princess Weiwei, please pay attention to your attitude. Even without us, your country is about to enter the dry season. You know this well, and you must know about seawater desalination, water conservancy projects for sand transformation, and saline-alkali land planting... These are actually provided by me." Guan Liyuan interrupted.
Princess Weiwei was silent for a while, then bowed to Guan Liyuan and said: "Sorry, I was too excited before. Alabasta is very grateful for your help. If you just want money, or even the land of Alabasta, , as long as you promise not to bring the war to Alabasta..."
"No, no, no, I don't need any of this. I just want Princess Weiwei to understand one thing - guess, without us, in a few years, with the help of these things, she will be powerful, wealthy...with nearly With a population of 100 million, millions of regular troops, and gold everywhere, will Alabasta become the target of the Tianlong people?" Guan Liyuan said.
Yes, in the final analysis, Alabasta is better because it is "not weak", but it is also "not strong". "Not weak" makes the idiot Tianlong people restricted from coming to Alabasta to "have trouble", and it is also because of "not being strong". "Strong", that's why the world government is not afraid!
"This is just your guess..." Weiwei's confidence became less strong.
"Oh? Let's give you an example... The capital of Seven Rivers is now the core of the sea train transportation network. You should know it, right?" Guan Liyuan asked.
Weiwei nodded. Even though the news about the Grand Waterway was a bit obscure, newspapers were still delivered by news birds. The Capital of Seven Waters was definitely "like thunder" to any country now.
"The reason why Sea Train now operates smoothly in the transportation network is because of the generosity of Bingshan, the owner of Sea Train technology..." Guan Liyuan also silently added at this point: Of course there is also my generosity!
That's right, without Guan Liyuan providing key technologies, Haitrain would not be able to improve to its current level.
"Because of the private ownership of the sea train, all the islands in the transportation network with the Capital of Seven Waters as the core have become rich. The world government has also received a lot more taxes, and the Celestial Dragons have a lot more heavenly gold. But... should we? Make a bet? Within three months, the Tianlong people and the World Government will attack the sea train and want to take it into their own pocket." Guan Liyuan asked.
With the behavior of Tianlong people, would Weiwei think about it for a moment and have a bad answer? But the question is...why did Guan Liyuan know that it was within three months? Isn't this time a little too accurate?
However, instinct tells Weiwei that this bet cannot be made!
But regardless of whether this bet is made or not, as long as the Tianlong people really attack Haitrain, it will prove that Guan Liyuan is right. Even when Weiwei thinks of this, Guan Liyuan's goal has been achieved.
There are some things that Weiwei herself will associate with once exposed - in the original work, CP0 wants to openly attack Weiwei, who represents Alabasta, and Ni, who represents Dragon Palace, because Saint Charlos wants to kidnap Bai Xing. Puton's action is enough to see the difference between "almost becoming a Celestial Dragon" and "a Celestial Dragon".
Although this scene has not happened yet, can Weiwei, who has met the Tianlong people, not be able to imagine their status?
These are the two most special countries among the many franchised countries. Compared with the status of the Tianlong people in other countries, it is even more conceivable.
At the same time, near the Capital of Seven Waters, on the route of the sea train, a luxurious carriage was booked...
"How's it going? Saint Charles, let me just say this thing is awesome, right? Isn't it cooler than the slave mount you invited me to ride on last time? It was a slave mount trained by a swimming champion among fishmen? Jie Jie Jie..." A Celestial Dragon with a banana-skin hair and a breathing mask mocked the other Celestial Dragon who looked like a "silly son of a landlord".
Saint Charlos looked obviously very unhappy. After holding it in for a long time, he said harshly: "Saint Musgarud, you have really fallen... What is there to be proud of? It's just an independent box. The back is Are there many untouchables in the car? Tsk tsk, I feel sick when I think of their car, and... this isn’t your thing, is it? "
Suddenly, Charros's expression changed - Yes! This is not Musgarud’s, but it can be mine!
It's a pity that Saint Charlos, who has a poor IQ, will not find out that Saint Musgarud, who "specially" brought him to be a sea train, saw the change in his expression and showed a "successful" smile...
