The order of the town returned to normal, and everyone went out with a smile they had never seen before.

The huge statue located above the naval base, the tallest building in the town, had long been demolished, and all the stones were broken up and used to pave the way.

Everyone who goes out will subconsciously look in that direction, even if they know they can't see anything.

However, I remembered the meeting many days ago, where blood flowed like a river, and there are still dark red bloodstains that have not been cleaned up.

But none of the residents were afraid, and they even thought that place was their blessed land. That is to say, there was no such custom, otherwise someone might have dipped their steamed buns in blood.

When they look away from there, they will smile and say hello to their neighbors and start their daily life.

No one knew that in the tall building at the naval base, there was a person who also liked to look at such a peaceful scene. It was in this scene that he received Bucky's call.

After just a few words, Allen hung up the phone. The corners of his lips, which were already slightly raised, cracked into a beautiful arc, and his white teeth reflected the light, making them even more dazzling.

According to Bucky's professional prediction, the total harvest this time may exceed one billion beli. Of course, part of it must be set aside to resettle those who have been trafficked in the past and can be rescued. Perhaps a special fund must be set up to deal with this problem.

kind of thing.

According to the information obtained from Bolger, after selling so many people out, it is simply unrealistic to completely rescue them. It would be a good thing to have a third of them. After all, traveling in this world is too inconvenient.

In some aspects, it is black technology, in some aspects, even the main means of transportation in most towns are still horse-drawn carriages, and sailing ships are also used for navigation.

Saving people is a troublesome task, especially if it takes a long time and costs a lot of money. Although you can do it for public benefit and get military expenses from the world government, in the end it still has to be shared among the majority of ordinary people in the world.

Such a sum of money is very necessary.

Even so, you can get a lot of money, and you will probably be able to enter the upgrade state after this time.

Speaking of which, there had been no activity on his lottery panel for a long time. If he hadn't occasionally been able to extract some [Energy Potion] from it, he had almost forgotten about it.

This time, I might be able to have a good time and save some things. When I upgrade later, it will probably cost one billion beli. I really need to save this money until the end of time.

After waiting for about a week, Bucky hadn't arrived yet, but someone else had arrived first.

This week is still busier than before, but many things are slowly getting on track, and the staffing is getting along well with each other, making the entire base more organized than before.

Now that the people who have taken over the base are here, they should be able to get on the right track faster in the future.

Allen met Meri Gray in his office, the former brigadier general of the 110th branch base. After Allen issued the official transfer order, he quickly handed over his original work and rushed as quickly as possible.

Came here.

"Reporting to Lieutenant General Allen, Merry Gray has come to report." Knocking on the door, Merry Gray walked in and saluted.

His awe was beyond words. After all, he had only seen the kinder side of Allen before, but after seeing Allen's behavior in Beihai, he understood that the appearance of kindness was just an illusion. If he made any mistakes, it might be...

Another situation.

Especially when he passed by the base gate just now, the dark red blood stains there had not been cleaned up yet, as if they were telling him something.

Allen nodded, his expression still calm: "Come here, don't be so restrained, we are acquaintances after all. I will transfer you here to serve as the commander of the 77th branch base this time. It should be a hard job. I hope you don't want to

It’s about having emotions.”

"I don't dare. Your Majesty said this, which makes me feel ashamed." Meri Gray said, "I did something wrong in the past. Lieutenant General Allen did not pursue my fault and was willing to give me such an opportunity. I am happy before it's too late.

, I will never have any emotions, and I will do my best to manage the 77 branch base well."

Allen shook his head: "It's not that I didn't pursue your fault, but because your problems are not serious and you are a very measured person. People who are measured are usually smarter and know what they can and cannot do.

, there may be some emotions such as greed, but most of them can be controlled well. It is easy to control for a while, but difficult to maintain for a long time. Just like Porg, it was just a little thing at the beginning, because of depression

If you can't control your greed, you will slowly change and you will no longer be the same person you used to be.

You have done much better than him in this regard. You have always had a sense of proportion. The mistakes you made may have caused you to be punished, but the crime will not lead to death. The most important thing is that you did not take the initiative to hurt others.

It's very important. If a person loses even the most basic humanity, he cannot be called a human being. This is the case with Bolger, who has learned from previous mistakes, so he died.

I transferred you here because, firstly, I value your ability, and secondly, you know how to measure yourself and do not make unforgivable mistakes. There are not many people who can do these two things. You can both perform very well.

I am willing to give you another chance."

A commander is willing to explain to you, proving that you are still useful.

In fact, this is the case, otherwise I would not come to this base and continue to be a commander. If it was really useless, I would have been thrown into prison long ago. Of course, the most important thing is what Lieutenant General Allen said. He is very measured.

It’s okay to be measured, and it’s okay to say that you are not that courageous. If you are really like Bolger, you may have the same fate waiting for you, and your ashes will be scattered.

"Thank you Lieutenant General for your forgiveness. I will definitely do a good job in the base in the future." Meri Gray saluted again.

This is actually equivalent to a military order. Allen gave him this opportunity, and he must stand up and develop the 77th Base well.

"Well, I believe you." Allen called another person in, "This is Colonel Ogutov, your deputy here. He has been at this base since he joined the Navy, and he has a lot of knowledge about this base and the surrounding areas.

He has a deep understanding of the situation. If you have anything you don’t know, you can ask him and he will fully assist you in handling the work of the base.

Oh, by the way, one more thing, you should communicate with him in time about the matters that Smoker is responsible for. If your assistance is needed, you must be prepared."

When working, Allen is very resolute and does not talk useless nonsense.

Meri Gray and Ogutov shook hands and saluted, and they were considered acquainted.

After they finished communicating, Allen added: "You can discuss work matters. There will be a plenary meeting tonight to announce your official appointment. That's it. If you have nothing else to do, just go and get busy."

"Yes, Lieutenant General." The two of them saluted each other and prepared to leave.

At this time, Allen stopped them again: "There is another thing that I just remembered. All the money of Bolger and his criminal gang has been found. It is estimated that there will be a large sum of money. I will use part of this money to make a fortune."

The purpose is to find those who have been caught and trafficked, and to provide some incentives for the development of the base. The amount for this part has not been determined yet. You two can discuss it based on the situation and design a plan.

Just go to Bucky when the time comes. In addition, the military funds applied for your base will be available soon. All you have to do is develop Base 77."

The two looked at each other, with a complicated and elusive light in their eyes.

Let's not talk about military expenses. With Lieutenant General Allen's reputation, there will be no possibility of delay for the headquarters. The key is Bolger's stolen money.

In the North Sea, they had never seen such a leader. Bolger's criminal gang was wiped out and had nothing to do with the navy in the North Sea. Even if all the money went into Allen's pocket, they didn't think anything would happen. Instead, they thought

It's normal. Not only do we continue to spend money to save people, we even use a portion of it to motivate soldiers.

They have never understood the meaning of the word "justice" as they do now.

…

…

With the arrival of Meri Gray, the entire base has become more standardized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and is full of vigorous vitality.

It can be seen that people are indeed very different from each other. During this period of time, when Ogutov was leading the operation of the base, there were often some things that he didn't know how to deal with, or he didn't deal with them well enough, resulting in some problems.

Problems like this are just like a novice who has just learned to drive and has no talent. Various situations will occur if he is not careful.

But Mery Gray is different. He can tell at a glance that he is a seasoned driver. He quickly becomes familiar with the various functions of the car as soon as he gets in the car. He can master various skills proficiently without any running-in, and he can drive with ease on the road.

Carry out various overtakings to get the car into the fast lane quickly.

The key is that Merry Gray is able to handle things with ease and still has time to spare every day. This is a shock to him for a hundred years.

Slowly, Ogutov also found a knock on the door. It turned out that as a base commander, you don't need to do everything yourself. There are many things that you just need to arrange for the right people to do, and they can do a good job.

But it’s not easy to find the right person. At least Augutov couldn’t do this. He asked Merry Gray why it was so easy to find the right person. How do you know he is suitable for these things?

Woolen cloth?

Meri Gray only smiled and said that even if you have controlled a base for more than ten years, you can do it. This made Ogutov roll his eyes several times.

As the base got back on track, the newly recruited soldiers began training. The training instructor was none other than the subordinates Allen brought from the headquarters.

Many people here have graduated from the boot camp, so they don't need any special experience. They can just copy it directly from the boot camp and then delete it.

There were many people willing to do this job, but in the end it was only after a lot of competition that the manpower was determined.

It was also during the recruit training that Bucky came back with money.

The reason why he was out for so long was not because the treasure was too far away, but because Bucky had to find a way to exchange those gold and silver items for Bailey.

Moreover, it is impossible to exchange it in one place. If you want to sell wealth of more than one billion Baileys in one place, the price will be greatly reduced. Bucky knows this better than Allen.

So, after some twists and turns, everything turned into the world's only currency that circulates around the world - Bailey.

When he saw Allen, Bucky couldn't help but be excited. Not only him, but everyone on the ship was also very happy, and their mouths could not be opened.

"Lieutenant General, this guy can really make money. Guess how many Baileys were exchanged for this time?" After Bucky arrived at Allen's office, he first picked up the teapot, poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.

And Jincai spoke excitedly.

Allen smiled and said: "Looking at you, it should be more than you estimated before."

"Of course! It's a lot more." Bucky raised all the fingers of his hands, "Almost 1.3 billion Baileys, more than we have ever found before. If we include the ones we found before, it is estimated that there are nearly 1.3 billion Baileys.

Two billion."

This is a very exaggerated number, but considering that most of the soldiers at a naval base spent more than ten or twenty years doing all kinds of bad things, and finally accumulated this number, it is actually not that much.

No wonder many people are willing to go to sea to become pirates. It is so easy to make money from this kind of business without capital. A corrupt gang in the navy is like this. So how much wealth should the countless national nobles in the world have?

Allen raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, that's an exaggerated figure. Thank you for your hard work, Bucky. Let's allocate it according to the previous rules. In addition, we need to go to Meri Gray and discuss with him how much is appropriate."

Bucky, who was so excited, couldn't take a good rest now. He had to make peace with himself. Bucky would never compromise on this aspect.

Watching Bucky leave in a hurry, Allen leaned back, crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. As for what was in his own hands, Allen was not in a hurry. The money was here, and he couldn't run away.

I don’t know what I can draw this time.

After waiting for another day, or to be precise, it should be half a day and one night's work, the destination of more than one billion beli has been allocated. Everyone involved in this matter is working overtime. There is nothing better than taking money.

Something even more joyful.

When the money came into Allen's hands, it was transferred directly to the lottery page without any interaction at all.

The money this time is not only enough to draw out all the rest, but also push the progress bar of the system upgrade forward.

He's going to explode this time!

Allen looked at Nami, the bunny girl, and his consciousness became lighter. Nami's eyes turned into the shape of $$, and they were shining brightly.

After a burst of illusory sound, groups of lights of different colors appeared in the consciousness space.
