Chapter 27: World Government Medical Development Cooperation Nation

Returning to the Kingdom Castle at the top of the main peak, King Arnold sat on the throne made of white iron without hesitation, looking down at Minister Mulvaney and Vice Admiral Kuzan standing under the stage. 

From this moment on, talks between an affiliated nations and the World Government officially began. 

The previous greetings and the courtesy upon arrival were all considered as private etiquette, which fully showed respect to the other party, but now, as a King, he still needs to have the aura that he should have. 

"So, now can you tell me what you are doing in my Drum Kingdom?" 

Along the way, the Minister of the Administration Department and Vice Admiral Kuzan in front of him were playing riddles with him, and their words were vague, which had already aroused the King's curiosity. 

"His Majesty King Arnold, this time I am here to discuss with you the matter of establishing the Drum Kingdom as a 'World Government Medical Development Cooperation Nation' under the order of the Government Council." 

As he spoke, Minister Mulvaney took out a scroll with gold thread and white background from his arms and said: "This is a cooperation agreement. If you agree, you just need to sign it." 

At the same time, the previous official came over, took the scroll, and brought it to the King on the stage. The king took the scroll, opened it, and read it. 

As he looked at it, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. What a great thing! 

This scroll says that the so-called 'World Government Medical Development Cooperation Nation' means that the World Government will promote, support and encourage the research and development of medical treatment in the Drum Kingdom. 

From next year, as long as the medical development of the Drum Kingdom passes the review of the Government Affairs Council, the amount of Heavenly Tribute will be reduced to a certain extent every year, up to a reduction limit of 50%. 

At the same time, the World Government and the Drum Kingdom jointly established a medical school, which is responsible for the collection, organization and in-depth research of world medicine, and is required to serve the World Government free of charge. 

Of course, the so-called free of charge only means that when Medical School is needed, the Medical School cannot charge anything. In fact, the World Government is responsible for the big part of the Medical School's funding, and Drum Kingdom is only responsible for a small part. 

Furthermore, Dr. Kureha, who is 117 years old this year, was also appointed as the first dean of the Medical School. 

This point made King Arnold's eyes jump. It must be said that this Dr. Kureha is indeed the best in the medical field of the Drum Kingdom in terms of medical skills and qualifications, but her character is too perverse. 

To be honest, having this person serve as the dean gives people a rather unreliable feeling. 

The King continued reading the scroll. 

The World Government hopes that the Medical School led by Dr. Kureha can establish a rigorous physician promotion system and standardize doctors all over the world. If future doctors want to improve their physician level, they will need to go to the Drum Kingdom to take assessments. 

King Arnold's eyes shone when he saw this. He is not stupid. This is simply to regard the Drum Kingdom as the center of world medicine! 

"Hurry! Send someone to ask Dr. Kureha to come over. Tell her that the World Government is looking for her. It's a very important matter!" The King quickly ordered to the officials below. 

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The official walked out of the castle hall quickly. 

At this moment, Minister Mulvaney of the Administration Department spoke again. 

"I believe you have also seen the benefits of establishing the medical school. Do you remember that I asked you before about the other peaks on the island? I hope to build the medical school on one of the peaks. What does your Majesty think?" 

"This..." King Arnold was a little bit agitated. To be honest, he didn't really want to do this. Otherwise, wouldn't those civilians be able to reach the same height as their royal family at will? 

But the Minister said so, and he really didn't have any suitable reasons to refute it. In addition, he also very much hoped that the Medical School could be built. 

In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, no problem. In a few days, I will have someone build the cable car." 

"Haha, regarding this matter, our World Government also has a prepared plan." Minister Mulvaney was very happy that everything went well and was in a very happy mood. 

"Vice Admiral Kuzan will find a way to solve the problem of transportation difficulties." 

"Oh?" King Arnold looked at the too-tall Vice Admiral in surprise. Kuzan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: 

"When I came in just now, I took a look at the surrounding Drum Rockies and found that the distance between them is not very far. It should be possible to connect them all by using ice bridges, so that there can be free passage between the mountains." 

"What, connect eight Drum Rockies together?!" 

King Arnold stood up in shock and showed great surprise. In this way, the seven Drum Rockies that had been idle could be used, which was equivalent to increasing the area of the kingdom. 

"Yes, I actually strongly recommend that your country move its citizens below, because the town is located too low, just below the snow-capped mountains. It would be too dangerous if there is an avalanche." Kuzan suggested sincerely. 

The number of citizens in the Drum Kingdom is not large. Even if one Drum Rockies is used for Medical School, the remaining six can fully accommodate all the citizens. 

"This..." King Arnold was troubled again. It was enough for the doctors to be 'equal' with him. Why did he have to bring in even the lowest civilians? 

As for avalanches, he really doesn't care. Avalanches do occur occasionally in the country, but haven't the people down there been living well over the years? 

But just like before, what Kuzan said was very reasonable. He had no suitable reason to refuse, plus the other party's identity, a future Navy Admiral. 

If one day you are attacked by pirates who are too powerful, you should still request their help. 

"Vice Admiral Kuzan, even if we have to relocate the citizens, this is not an easy task. Based on the transportation efficiency of the cable car alone, it will take several years to complete." 

King Arnold tried to struggle. 

"Yes, although the cable car cannot be given up, it can no longer be used as the main means of transportation in the future, so during the next period of time, I will create a staircase connecting the ground and the main peak." 

"Because the height is five thousand meters, a relatively spacious platform is needed for each kilometer for people to rest. Alas, no matter how you look at it, this is a big project~" 

Kuzan sighed helplessly. Ever since he had built a thick and useful ice field battlefield for Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp, he seemed to have been targeted by the World Government. 

Now it has become a construction team, well, a one-person construction team. 

But he also knew that this matter was a great thing for the citizens of the Drum Kingdom, and it could be called a just task, worthy of the word justice that he had to bear. 

Therefore, he actually didn't have any resentment in his heart. Instead, he feels a little happy and expectant. At the same time, his impression of the World Government has also improved a lot. 

It will only take a few days, because after all, his Ice-Ice Fruit has not yet awakened.
