Chapter 95.
[The addition of the dragon is absolutely good news for Roja and others. ]
[Dragon, Kuma, Ivankov's strength is very good, which fills their weakness in the top combat power. ]
[In this world where a single person can break the army, in addition to the basic army, the role that the strong can play is also incomparably great. ]
[With the addition of these three people, Roja can also be more confident in the face of the navy.]
["In this direction, are we going to the calm belt? Isn't it a trip to the Red Line?" After an afternoon of sailing, the dragon found the clue and asked suspiciously. ]
[" Tell others to abandon your ship and board our ships." Roja spoke. ]
[Although the dragon was puzzled, he quickly carried out the order, arranged for some people to drive the ship back, and the rest all boarded Roja's ship. ]
[Then, under the shocked gaze of the dragon, the hulls on both sides of the paddle wheel warship rose, revealing the huge paddle wheels located on both sides of the hull, pushing the waves and driving directly into the calm belt.]
["This is our latest development of a ship that can expel sea kings and go straight through the calm belt." Naguri laughed and said. ]
[The three of them showed great interest in paddle steamers. ]
[They are all extremely intelligent people, and being able to see what the appearance of paddle wheel battleships means, this is definitely an epoch-making invention and of great significance.]
[The Night Warrior is in charge of the ship movement, and during the day, the Fujitora uses the ability to levitate.]
[Day and night, under the all-out rush, it only took Roja five days to cross the new world and rush back to the No. 1 base from Ohara. ]
[At this time, the No. 1 scientific research base has begun the construction of the sea train, but Roja has no time to pay attention to the progress of the sea train. ]
[After Roja returned to the Scientific Research Base One, he immediately called Queen. ]
["Something happened to Flevance?" because although he did not have Flevance's information, he was very smart and directly judged from Roja's attitude. ]
["has the antidote developed?" Roja asked. ]
["There is only one direction that can neutralize Amber lead in the body through a special reaction, but it has not been developed." Queen replied honestly. ]
[Amber lead is not a simple disease, but heavy metal poisoning, and this toxicity is deep in the human body, and can even cause life reduction to the next generation, which is very difficult, even if Queen is an expert in this field, it is difficult to start.]
[After all, he is only a scientist, not a doctor, and he is better at making lethal weapons to kill people than to save people.]
["Then forget it, take all your research materials on Amber-lead toxicity and follow me to Flevance." Roja waved his hand with a headache. ]
["Yes, BOSS." Queen is the more obedient of the scientists in this group to Roja. ]
[After all, he is very pure, although the research he does is very dangerous, but as long as Roja can provide him with enough funds, he can work honestly.]
[It is very different from Judge, who always wants to restore the country, Buckin, who does not know what she is planning, and Caesar, who wants to make some big moves. ]
[After getting Queen, Roja found Mr. Tom again. ]
["How many paddlewheel warships are now idle in the dock?" Roja asked. ]
["Some of the ones left, plus fifteen newly built." Mr. Tom replied. ]
[Most of the paddlewheel battleships are used to disguise themselves as caravans, and the economic problems of the base have always been the focus of Roja's attention, and self-sufficiency is an important point. ]
[In addition, the recent focus of work on the construction of sea trains, so the construction of paddle wheel battleships has also slowed down a little during this time in the dock. ]
["Mr. Tom, you are tired, recruit more apprentices, and expand the size of the dock." Roja reminded. ]
[The scale of the dock needs to be further improved, and the requirements for ships in the future must continue to increase. ]
["I see." Tom nodded seriously. ]
[Roja arranged for people to drive all fifteen paddlewheel warships in the dock to several other bases. ]
[Koshiro was already waiting in the port, and behind him were nearly 10,000 soldiers of the revolutionary army, all of whom were the rebel workers of the Lvneel Kingdom. ]
[At the time of the Lvneel Kingdom, they lacked some military training. ]
[On these islands in the calm belt, after training, they have completed their initial transformation. ]
[Compared to before, their eyes are obviously more firm and powerful. ]
["Get on board." Roja looked at the soldiers below, did not say much, waved his hand, and tens of thousands of soldiers boarded the paddlewheel battleship in an orderly manner. ]
[There is no need for Roja to do anything at all, to give an impassioned speech to boost morale or anything. ]
[After leaving the Lvneel Kingdom, the squad leaders who used to be in the union have become backbones and integrated into this army. ]
[After all the orders are issued from the superiors, there will be squad leaders with higher ideological consciousness to mobilize the soldiers and describe in detail the combat mission and goals of this time. ]
[The warriors know everything clearly, know what they are going to do, and know the meaning of what they do. ]
["What an organized army." Ivankov on the side couldn't help but say. ]
[He has seen many armies, the guards of various kingdoms, and the navy with the most complete system and organization. ]
[But he could feel that those armies were something different from Roja's army.]
[It is difficult to describe in words, it seems to be an invisible belief, this army shows silence and determination, courage and fearlessness. ]
["Because they have faith in their hearts and know what they are fighting for." Koshiro stood beside Ivankov and said with a gentle smile. ]
[He was responsible for teaching these soldiers combat skills during this time, and he was able to deeply understand the military training system that Roja has continued from the Goa Kingdom to the present. ]
[Let the soldiers know what they are fighting for, and after knowing this, these original slave workers burst out with amazing enthusiasm. ]
["Hello, my name is Ivankov." Ivankov could sense that this gentle man with glasses was not ordinary. ]
["Koshiro." Koshiro responded with a smile. ]
[He has always had this gentle expression, and his eyes under the round-framed glasses seem to be always squinted, obviously a young man, but gentle as an uncle in his thirties and forties.]
[The whole army marched towards Flevance.]
[In the evening, Roja held a combat meeting in the cabin. ]
[In addition to Roja, there are Fujitora, Naguri, Koshiro, Jimmy, these old men of the revolutionary army, as well as the high-ranking cadres of the Self-Volunteer Army such as Dragon, Ivankov, and Kuma. ]
["If we go to Flevance with such fanfare, will it have an even worse impact on the already bad situation?" Dragon spoke first. ]
["These are just some assurances to guard against war, and before we arrive in Flevance, we will break away from most of them and go to Flevance to inquire about the news." Roja spoke. ]
["Isn't there anyone in Flevance? Can't we make contact over there?" The dragon asked. ]
["In fact, a few days ago, my comrades found traces of CP members, because there are no white phone worms on hand, so in order to prevent the communication from being eavesdropped, we have broken off contact."]
[Roja explained. ]
[He had dealt with the CP organization as early as when he was in Coal and Iron City. ]
[I don't know if it's because the Lvneel Kingdom incident just happened, or because the Amber lead value of Flevance is too high.]
[Not long after Flevance lost control, the soldiers he sent to Flevance discovered a number of spies suspected of being CP organizations.]
["At present, we know that the people of Flevance are out of control under the stimulation of Amber lead disease, and for unknown reasons they have a complete falling out with the noble Royal family." Roja spread out the charts he had drawn when he was in Flevance. ]
["We can't rule out the possibility of war, look at this picture, the island where Flevance is located is called Losec Island, which is a large island."]
["On this large island, three countries coexist, the middle of which is Flevance, known for its abundant Amber lead resources, and to the west of Flevance, is a kingdom called Chek."]
["To the east is the kingdom of Saloto, which encloses Flevance in the middle, and it is worth mentioning that there have been several frictions between these two countries and Flevance over the centuries because of the huge benefits of Amber-lead mines."]
["Now in the event of a riot in Flevance, these two countries are likely to strike." Roja pointed to the map and analyzed, and the others also frowned and thought. ]
[ "Of course, our biggest threat is to the world government." Roja's face became serious. ]
["After the uprising in the Kingdom of Lvneel, we are all well aware that the importance that the world government attaches to this resource-based island, especially if amber lead can be used to make bullets, is also an extremely important strategic resource."]
["The world government will not let it go, the last Lvneel Kingdom because the world government did not pay attention, coupled with the Battle of Edd pinned down most of the navy, so we won the Battle. "]
["But this time, the world government with free hands and sufficient troops, the situation we will face may be even worse than last time, and I hope everyone can be mentally prepared."]
[Roja gave everyone a vaccination first. ]
[What the final outcome of Flevance this time will be, he cannot predict. ]
[He has dealt with the world government many times, and he has never reported any expectations from them, and what kind of choice the five elders make, Roja doesn't know.]
[So from the beginning, he was ready for war.]
[Three days later, Roja and their troops led the army and rushed to Lotsac Island. ]
[However, what made Roja's heart sink was that their ship, disguised as a merchant ship, was intercepted by a sea fleet before they could get close to Flevance. ]
["Hello, friend, we are here to do business in Flevance, why are we blocking our way?" Jimmy stepped forward and pretended to be a merchant shouting to the people on the opposite boat and asked]
["We are the army of the Chek Kingdom, and we stopped you because Flevance now has an infectious disease with a very high fatality rate, and now that we have blocked Flevance, no one can enter Flevance.*]
["If you want to do business, come back in a while." On the opposite boat, a non-commissioned officer in military uniform stepped forward to explain. ]
[What he said made Roja's heart sink instantly. ]
["Infectious diseases? Are you kidding? Why is Amber lead disease considered an infectious disease?"]
[The fatality rate of Amber lead disease is already very high, and if it is treated as an infectious disease, then the problem becomes very serious. ]
[Roja thought a lot at this moment. ]
[This may be the rhetoric of the kingdoms of Chek and Saloto, the purpose of which is to be able to destroy the people of Flevance and then legitimately occupy the Amber-lead mines.]
[It is also possible that they really do not know the nature of Amber lead disease, after all, Amber lead disease is only found in Flevance, and there are more and more patients, and it does look like an infectious disease.]
[But from any point of view, once Amber lead is characterized as an infectious disease, the situation in Flevance is very difficult.]
[Some ignorant people, driven by rumors, will turn into extreme thugs who want to kill all the people of Flevance. ]
["Do you want to go around from the other side?" A warrior asked Roja. ]
["It's useless, the army of the Chek Kingdom can appear here, and the army of the Saloto Kingdom on the other side may have blocked the sea area over there."]
[Coupled with the border blockade on land, it can be said that the kingdoms of Chek and Saloto are now here with the intention of destroying Flevance.]
[At night, Roja and they secretly infiltrated Flevance through the ability of Fujitora, and successfully connected with Flevance' revolutionary army soldiers. ]
["Now we can talk about it in detail." Roja looked at the revolutionary army soldiers in front of him. ]
[He used observation haki, there is no strong person, and no one is eavesdropping.]
["That's right, Mr. Roja." The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army began to tell little by little what happened to Flevance during this time. ]
[At first, they secretly spread the news that Amber lead was poisonous, but this was quickly suppressed by the Royal family of Flevance.]
[This kind of headless and endless gossip, coupled with the suppression of the Royal family, will soon disappear.]
[Later, they changed their strategy and sent some research materials from the No. 1 Research Base to some well-known doctors in Flevance, and the poisoning of Amber and lead gradually became known to the people of Flevance.]
[In order to resist Amber lead, the people only marched to boycott at first. ]
[Finally, I don't know who found out, none of the nobles and Royal families of Flevance were infected with Amber lead disease, which means that they knew the truth about Amber lead poison from the beginning. ]
[Because of this incident, plus some radical organizations, the people directly rushed into the territory of the nobles and Royalty. ]
[Many nobles were killed directly and the Royal family fled Flevance under the cover of soldiers. ]
["The Royal family of Flevance is really not human." Naguri couldn't help but say angrily. ]
[Amber lead was mined a hundred years ago, and the Royal family knew that Amber lead was toxic a hundred years ago, but for the sake of profit, it was actually hidden for hundreds of years.]
[For hundreds of years, Amber lead disease is a terminal disease accumulated over time, and after a hundred years, the Royal family has watched more and more people suffering from Amber lead disease.]
["Capitalists come into the world, dripping blood and filth from every pore from beginning to end, how high the lower limit can you expect from them." Roja also couldn't hide her anger. ]
[However, he did not let anger overwhelm his reason, but continued to ask calmly. ]
["Do you know the blockade of the Kingdom of Chek and the Kingdom of Saloto? "]
["Well, this happened just a few days ago, after the Royal family fled from Flevance, and rumors that Amber lead disease is an infectious disease have been circulating since then. "]
[ "The kingdom of Chek and Saloto immediately blockaded it, and it is hard not to think that the Royal families of the two countries are behind it, wanting to annex Flevance." The revolutionary soldier guessed.]
[Roja nodded, his guess was similar to this warrior.]
[The actions of the Chek Kingdom and Saloto are too fast, and at this time, I am afraid that the rumors of infectious diseases have not yet spread.]
[It seems that if you want to save Flevance, you must first find a way to dispel the idea of attacking the two kingdoms, and at the same time, you must characterize Amber-lead disease as poisoning, not an infectious disease.]
[Roja thought carefully. ]
[ The soldier of the revolutionary army smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Roja, compared to those two countries, I think it is better to stabilize Flevance as soon as possible."]
["Because of the panic caused by Amber-lead disease, coupled with the blockade of the two countries, Flevance is now in a mess inside. "]
