Chapter 744: The Eve of the Assembly(1/2)
"Sir, if you didn't answer, you might have gone to the medical department to get some health care."
On the warship of the Zhanye detachment, Nurkic was holding a phone bug, a little embarrassed. After hearing this, Skyler thought for a moment, waved his hand and said:
"It's better not to let these two old men deal with this matter. Maybe my worries are just unnecessary. As long as Vegapunk and Deborah don't continue their research, Richards is too clever to make a fool of himself."
After learning from Vegapunk that a piece of information had been accidentally sent to Marine Fando, Skyler quickly rushed back to the warship and asked Nurkic to contact his parents.
It is a pity that the Lawes and Wales are now older and need to go to the medical department frequently for health care. It is normal that they cannot answer the phone immediately.
If before, Skyler could still ask Teacher Zefa and the others, after all, they were still in Malinfando at that time, but they all came to the new world in the past few days.
But at this critical juncture, it would be a waste of time to return to the first half of the Great Channel just for this matter. Besides, the navy will definitely not be able to use the Red Harbor now, and the speed will only be slower.
Furthermore, even if the Nurkic couple continue to boast about their son's genius, they can't be like Tom Cat and become a creature of the void, right?
What production tools does Richards, a child, have access to? Without production tools, even if he could demonstrate from a theoretical level, he could only stay on paper.
Not to mention that there are so many books in the collection that Vegapunk gave to Richards. Richards may not be able to find this information among them, right? Just wait until the war is over and go there to find it.
After some self-adjustment in his mind, Skyler looked at Deborah, who was also feeling guilty, and said, "It's okay, maybe I just care too much."
Deborah nodded reluctantly. She had just listened to Nurkic's account of their conversation on Eggjian Island and knew what consequences her research might have.
If it were the researcher who once followed Vegapunk, Deborah might have continued research without hesitation. After all, that is the responsibility of a scientist.
Among other things, when Deborah was still doing research in Punk Hassad, some scientific researchers said they wanted to create black holes, and black holes are things that will destroy the entire world.
But at the time, Deborah didn't think it was anything, the researchers didn't think it was anything, and even Vegapunk, the manager of the research base, didn't have any intention of interfering.
Of course, those scientific researchers failed and did not successfully create a black hole, but this can also prove the importance of a research to scientific researchers. It is not only an achievement, but also a revelation of the unknown.
But Deborah is different today. Although she is still a scientific researcher, her heart is no longer as pure or single as when she was young.
She is now not only a scientific researcher, but also a wife and mother. If she insists on continuing her research, she will be fine if she fails. Once she succeeds, the world will be changed.
By then, her husband, son, and herself will be involved in this change. As for how it will be changed? Will it be a good change or a bad change? Deborah cannot be sure.
People who have a family will always make compromises when faced with career choices, because family represents stability, and once career prospects conflict with stability, most people will choose to give up career prospects and choose stability.
This is a very helpless thing. This is also the reason why many people who have achieved great success in their careers decide not to start a family from the beginning, because home is not only a harbor, but also a heavy burden.
Obviously, Deborah is now willing to give up the further development of her career for the sake of family stability. Such a concession is great enough, but Skyler cannot comfort Deborah's loss and guilt at this time.
After taking a deep breath, Skyler looked at Nurkic and asked: "Where are Ace and the others? Did they all call back?"
"I've asked Jinbei and Brooke to bring them back."
As soon as Nurkic finished speaking, he saw a group of people making noises walking towards the warship. Skyler looked around and found that they were all Ace and others who had changed their clothes and had many messy things on their bodies.
They all had smiles on their faces, and they were even snatching things from each other. Seeing this group of young people still laughing and joking, Skyler's mood suddenly became a little complicated.
After all, she is no longer young, at least in terms of mentality. Her ability to adjust is not as good as this group of young people. If it were once, she would forget the bad news because of the good news, but she is doing it now
Not here anymore.
Lucci also came with this group of young people, and Stussy didn't know when he fell behind, or in other words, when he was packaged by Lucci and sent to the Vegapunks for study.
Under the urging of Jinbei and Brooke like shepherds, these young people finally boarded the warship. Seeing their reluctance when they looked back at Danjian Island, Skyler knew that they might also want to gain benefits from this place.
But Skyler doesn't think they get any benefits from Vegapunk. What they get now may be just some insignificant gadgets developed by Vegapunk's clone.
Skyler didn't even have the desire to go and pry, and Ace and the others gradually stopped laughing after seeing Skyler's cold face at this time, and they hid aside and communicated quietly.
.
Lucci came to Skyler. After all, he has returned to his home team now, right? Skyler glanced at Lucci and said, "The Kingdom of Lucia has been destroyed, and Sabo is inside."
Hearing the news, Lu Qi instinctively narrowed his eyes and became alert, as if in his guess, Skyler would take action against him.
But Skyler did not move, but gave him a mocking look and said, "But you still have a chance to live. Of course, you are never safe."
Although he didn't know what happened specifically, Lu Qi could tell two things from Skyler's words.
The first is that when Sabo went to look for the person on the throne of Mariejoia, he did not encounter anything unexpected, but escaped, even to the Kingdom of Lulucia.
Secondly, in the subsequent destruction of the Kingdom of Lucia, Sabo may not have been sure that something unexpected had happened.
Both of these things made Lu Qi extremely surprised. One was the speculation about the strength of the person on the Void Throne. If Sabo could escape from that person, it proved that that person was not too powerful.
Of course, it is also possible that that person is not violent and does not like killing people. However, this idea did not even stay in Lu Qi's mind, it just passed by. He did not believe that the people on the Void Throne would cherish others.
life.
The second thing made Lu Qi even more shocked. After all, the Kingdom of Lulucia was destroyed. The destruction of a kingdom. As the CP0 commander, he had only resigned from his post today, but he actually had no information about this matter.
There is no doubt that those who would do such a thing to the Kingdom of Lulucia are from the World Government. After all, not long ago, the royal family of the Kingdom of Lulucia took the lead in surrendering to the revolutionary army.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the World Government to take action against the Kingdom of Lulucia in order to deter other participating countries that have wavered in their attitudes.
It's just that the Navy was unable to prevent such a thing. In fact, considering Lu Qi's own ignorance of the matter, perhaps the Navy only discovered it after the incident.
Compared with predicting the strength of the person on the Void Throne, the fact that the Kingdom of Lulucia was destroyed without knowing it made Lu Qi feel even more solemn.
Based on Lu Qi's understanding of the world government, there shouldn't be any organizational department in the world government that can do this. CP organizations swarmed in and couldn't do it.
As for the Knights of God, how could the world government dare to let the Knights of God leave Mariejoia at this point in time to carry out such a deterrent mission?
After all, if you want to destroy a kingdom, you need to expend a lot of manpower and energy. Back then, the World Government was able to destroy some non-franchised countries at will. It relied on the navy, and the navy's demon-slaying order was able to destroy a kingdom in a short time.
But now, the navy is no longer at the disposal of the World Government, but the World Government actually does it, which makes Lu Qi think deeply whether their recent actions still failed to fully test the World Government's trump card.
Skyler glanced at Lu Qi, who was thinking about it, and said, "Don't think so much. There will be a pre-war meeting later, and you will know everything you need to know."
When Lu Qi heard Skyler's words, he instantly realized that Skyler might have known something about the destruction of Lucia Kingdom, the magic and hidden secrets in it.
He nodded quickly and said: "I understand, by the way, Bruno and the others, I also informed them to report directly to the Navy Headquarters?"
"Well, you go make arrangements, Nurkic, you talk to the headquarters."
Skyler didn't have any objections and waved his hand directly, letting the two of them make arrangements. After all, Lu Qi and his companions had done a lot in the past year or so.
Their small team has eliminated all the people in the CP organization who can be called combatants. If it weren't for them, the current CP might still be able to play some role in the coming war.
But now, CP has become a decoration. Among the strong ones in CP0, a group of them were killed by Lu Qi during the CP0 chief election, and a group of them were sent away by him during subsequent dispatch missions.
The last Mahar and others also died at the hands of Skyler during the Wano operation. The last Stussy was also handed over to Vegapunk today.
Lu Qi and others who originally supported CP0 also withdrew from CP0 today. It can be said that CP0, the most powerful department in CP, has been completely destroyed by Lu Qi.
The other nine departments were originally ineffective. Over the past year or so, all those with potential were transferred to CP0 by Lu Qi and "sent away".
It can be said that this special agent organization, which has been able to compete with the navy for a long time, has become an empty shell due to Lu Qi's operations.
No, empty shells are better than CP. Today’s CP has a lot of corruption and paid people. The longer they exist, the more damage they will do to the world government.
And these actions of his have become the positive factors needed by the navy today. It can be said that Lu Qi and his team have made great contributions in this regard.
Such a group of heroes may not be able to play a big role in the huge war that will follow, but they still need to be given the qualifications to participate in the war.
Lu Qi was relieved when he heard Skyler's agreement. What he was most afraid of was that after working so hard for Skyler, one of his decisions would ruin the future of the entire team.
Now that Skyler has agreed to their participation in the war, it has proved. To put it cruelly, it has proved that they still have residual value. For agents, they have understood from an early age that the most important thing for them to survive is their own value.
And once the value is exhausted, even if they are not dead, even if no one is willing to liquidate, their careers will come to an end, and the agents trained by CP will dedicate their lives to their careers.
Once their career ends, for them, it is the same as the end of their lives. In fact, they would rather die after exerting their greatest value when it is valuable.
Just like Stusy, from her conversation with Lu Qi in the early morning, she already understood that she could no longer live, but in her opinion, embodying value is far more meaningful than living a life of survival.
Therefore, she chose to show her own value when it was impossible. Although she failed, she would still make the same choice if she had to do it again, but she would do better.
The same is true for Stussy, and the same is true for Lu Qi. He doesn't care about his own survival at all. He is only afraid that he has no value. This is the "talent" born under the CP agent training system.
Although he made a mistake now, Skyler is still willing to give her a chance. Although Skyler said that his chance of living is not permanent, as long as he can show value, he can survive and continue to create value.
After a brief communication with the headquarters, Nurkic returned to Skyler and asked: "Sir, are we going back to the headquarters now?"
Skyler nodded and said, "Well, let's go back now. It's time to move forward with the meeting. I'll ask Dolag later if the revolutionary army is also ready. That's almost it."
All the naval detachments participating in the war have been stockpiled in the New World, including more than 60,000 new recruits. At this time, they are also on standby in various branches of the New World, ready to participate in the war at any time.
The reason for waiting until now is because the Revolutionary Army lacks firepower and has no manpower, but cannot participate in the war. Therefore, it must wait until the Revolutionary Army distributes the two batches of arms.
The arms and phone bug ships of Germa 66, plus the arms of Wano Country, are more than enough to arm the current revolutionary army. It can be said that the revolutionary army can fully participate in the war at any time.
This is not over yet. The people who have been sown can also respond to the call of the revolutionary army at any time. The revolutionary army will harvest countless new military forces in every kingdom that passes through.
The reason why the revolutionary army did not recruit them into the ranks of the revolutionary army before was that the revolutionary army at that time needed to lurk, and more people joining would only increase the chance of the revolutionary army being exposed.
Moreover, the revolutionary army was not wealthy at that time, and its internal firepower was not fully equipped. It was even less possible to equip non-staff personnel with sufficient weapons. Recruiting them would only make them go to the battlefield unarmed.
Letting unarmed people go to the battlefield to fight is what the participating countries have done many times in recent years. Some of them have indeed succeeded in blocking the revolutionary army, but the price is the loss of popular support.
The "defeated" revolutionary army only needs to come back and promote the ideas of the revolutionary army again, and these civilians who were forcibly sent to the battlefield will become supporters of the revolutionary army.
It can be said that the Revolutionary Army has been preparing for today in the past twenty years. Perhaps from the beginning of establishing the Revolutionary Army, Dorag confidently believed that he had the ability to solve the problem of lack of firepower.
Although he had many twists and turns along the way and was blocked many times in obtaining arms, and was even blocked once by Skyler himself, in the end, he did allow the Revolutionary Army to have enough arms to arm themselves.
It doesn't matter whether Dorag is confident or arrogant, but in the end he did allow the Revolutionary Army to have enough manpower and firepower to deal with the Revolutionary Army. On this point, Skyler still admires Dorag very much.
In Skyler's view, the difficulty for Dorag to get to where he is today is far more difficult than it was for Sengoku or Sakaski to rise from the grassroots level to the rank of marshal.
After all, the latter was promoted within a mature system. Although the two marshals have greatly improved the navy's external influence and scale, the foundation is still the naval system built by Sora and countless navy seniors.
