Chapter 180.2

Even the record says that when the war was defeated, the other side didn't rush to rout and flee, but even tried to hit a small warship with the power to seize an empire! They want to grab an imperial warship and go back to research!!??

After reading that information, Dewey also had a feeling for a while. This is clearly a signal of the rise of civilization, but the military leaders of the Empire did not pay attention to it, because after that fierce battle, the United Kingdom of Southeast Asia seemed to be weakened again. Maybe it was the fierce naval battle that destroyed all their fleets and brought them to pieces.

There were even some merchant ships running to the south, which brought news that the so-called United Kingdom had been dissolved after the defeat.

At the end of this information, count Raymond, the former commander-in-chief of the military, wrote down his own opinions with a pen. And this view, in Dewey's view, is very correct!

"It is suggested that the Empire concentrate its strength to form a large-scale expeditionary fleet, which should be at least three times larger than the existing fleet, and carry a number of army troops with the fleet. Set out to pay a certain sacrifice, expedition deep in the Southern Ocean, concentrate all efforts, search out the specific location of the existence of the United Kingdom, and must destroy and conquer it! As for the Nanyang sea area covered by the existing imperial forces, we should change the previous "expeditionary" purely military operations, and start to think of ways to really bring the Nanyang sea area into the territory of the Empire. We can garrison local troops, exchange defense regularly, and cultivate local forces, or directly appoint officials from the Empire to manage it. When necessary, we can forcibly immigrate from the mainland! Within 30 years. Make those Nanyang areas become the new provinces of the Empire! This will bring a huge financial burden to the Empire, but it is worth it to prevent the situation in Nanyang from evolving into a new Northwest in the future, put an end to future disasters, and eradicate the hidden threat for the Empire. "

Du Wei thinks these ideas are very correct. But it seems that although count Raymond had this idea, it seems that the central government of the Empire did not pay attention to it. After all, the strength of the Rowling family is temporarily limited to the military. And the old emperor's growing old and fatuous, as well as the imperial financial tension. Both seriously weakened the national strength of the Empire. Such a large-scale plan is unrealistic.

Du Weifei thought about all the information in his mind quickly, then narrowed his eyes, making it impossible for people to guess what he was thinking. Du Weifei looked at the old benka like this: "the United Kingdom of Southeast Asia? "The great sacrifice?"

"... yes." Old benka seems to have given in completely: "in the United Kingdom, the existence of the great sacrifice is almost equivalent to the Imperial... Temple Pope."

Dewey, that's really moving!

Your majesty, the Pope of the temple, is in the position of the Empire. Almost equal to the emperor! At least in terms of address, only the emperor and the Pope are entitled to be called "Your Majesty"!

However, compared with the unlimited authority and scenery of the pope in the Empire... Even if the United Kingdom is a rough land or even a backward and barbaric place, the great sacrifice can be avoided. It's too hard to believe how miserable it is, isn't it?

"Just a few years ago... There was a civil strife in the United Kingdom." Benka explained helplessly: "a few years ago, the decisive battle with the expeditionary fleet of your empire was a wrong decision. However, the fanatics had the upper hand in the United Kingdom, which made the sedentary faction be excluded. The fanatics were eager to concentrate their strength to drive away the aggressors, and they were too optimistic about the situation. As a result, after the war, the United Kingdom almost collapsed. The voice of internal geological suspicion was very strong, and the defeat of the war was a great blow to everyone's confidence. Because we have gathered almost all our strength, we can't defeat an expeditionary fleet of your empire. The shadow of defeat even made some tribes who had originally joined the United Kingdom centrifugal. Many tribes even decided to give up resistance and move to the more distant southern waters in order to avoid the invaders of your empire. The last king of the United Kingdom was the chief of one of the largest tribes in the land at that time. After the war. The power of his tribe is the biggest loss, and he can only step down in the end. "

That's what benka said. Take a look at Du Wei: "unlike your empire, your emperor is hereditary. However, the king of the United Kingdom was elected by many tribes. The first king abdicated because he was defeated. Then everyone lost confidence in the United Kingdom, and no one even wanted to be that king. More people want to go back and prepare for migration than useless resistance. Later, a few great sacrifices were held by them.... "

How many Dewey smiles.

"Yes, we don't have the power of religion in one person's hands. You have only one Pope here, but we have four great priests there." Benka explained, and then continued: "several great sacrifices discussed together, and finally elected a new king, who was also a powerful tribal leader. But his prestige and intelligence are not enough to guide us against the aggressors, so... We all know this. The king agreed with us that he would like to help you take charge of the situation temporarily, but in the next few years, I hope we can find the right person. "

Dewey laughed: "Oh? And then what? "

"And then..." benka hesitated again, but looking at Duwei's cold eyes, the old man was cold in heart and said helplessly: "we decided to go together to find the" lost race ", only to find the legendary" family of gods ", relying on its influence, To bring our united kingdom back together. "

"The family of gods? The lost race? " Dewey vaguely felt that this name was familiar. He vaguely heard that the veterans of count Raymond's subordinates had mentioned that there was such a legend in Nanyang, but he didn't know it really. However, in front of the old man, Dewey pretended to know everything and said with a faint smile, "it's really a good way. Only by finding out the legendary family can you subdue your United Kingdom with their prestige." Sure enough, old benka was deceived by Dewey's appearance. He nodded: "it's a pity that I happened to meet your expeditionary army on my way to the South Ocean, but unfortunately I was caught back."“ And you've been carefully hiding your identity? " Dewey smiles“ Yes Benka nodded: "my identity is the great sacrifice. I'm worried that when people here know my identity... It will be very dangerous. I have been hiding my identity, just hope to live safely. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm shouldering a heavy responsibility. I can't die easily! " Dewey laughed. "What about the young slaves you were with? They seem to be different from ordinary people. " The young people you see around me are all my entourage. They are all trained to protect me. " Benka's face flashed a trace of regret: "unfortunately, when I was arrested, some soldiers died in order to protect me." After a pause, benka added: "they are the bravest fighters in the United Kingdom. In order to follow me, they gave up their life at home and accompanied me across the vast waters of the Southern Ocean..." "there is no time to be sad." Dewey said calmly: "you and I are in hostility. It's normal to be dead or injured." Old Ben calmed down“ So, the identity of Luffy... "Dewey laughed:" is he the legendary race? "" No, "he said Old benka shook his head, his eyes with a trace of helplessness: "he... No, he is my son." Son? Dewey laughed: "benka, your lie is not deceptive."“ It's true. " Benka said: "unlike the people in the temples of your mainland, our great sacrifices can be married and have children. Moreover, our sacrificial positions are hereditary. Our children will be educated and cultivated from childhood. When we die, they will inherit the sacrificial positions. This is totally different from the fact that people in the temples of your mainland are not allowed to marry and have children... He is really my son. Please don't hurt him... I can swear to our Father God! " Looking at old benka's sincere face, Du Wei was not sure“ Well, I'll watch you carefully, Mr. great sacrifice. " Dewey seemed to smile: "however, in view of your identity, I will give you some preferential treatment, but you should never try to escape. Do you understand? "“ Ruolin! Bring me that child! " Du Wei stopped drinking. Soon, Ruolin took the child named lufeck to the room. To benka's surprise, there is no scar on lufeck's body! But the sound of the whips... And the screams... Dewey was laughing: "ears and sounds deceive you." In fact, just now in the nearby house, the two pirates just took out some things to intimidate the child, and the sound of the whip... Was just the sound of a bag of leather.
