Chapter 1724 Napoleon’s Defeat (5)
However, due to the huge differences in their philosophies, disagreements were bound to arise between them.
Charlotte thought her eldest daughter's ideas were too crazy.
He is well aware of the power of the weapons of mass destruction held by the World Government. If he really acts according to Esdeath's plan, all the efforts of the Rockefeller Kingdom over the years will be destroyed if he is not careful.
Once they engage the World Government and force it into a desperate situation, the final result will most likely be the destruction of both sides.
Therefore, Charlotte firmly opposed using such radical methods to solve the problem.
Even though Charlotte tried his best to explain, Esdeath remained indifferent and didn't listen to him at all.
The reason is actually very simple. How could it be possible to easily convince Esdeath just relying on Charlotte's one-sided words?
This time, Napoleon was unfortunately captured, which gave Esdeath a perfect excuse to justify abandoning the originally planned attack on the North Sea and instead launch a direct attack on the Red Earth Continent.
Even though doing so would make the Rockefeller Kingdom's three or four years of careful preparation go to waste, Esdeath had no scruples and resolutely chose this path.
You know, the Rockefeller Kingdom has existed for so many years, and Charlotte's children have gradually grown up.
Among them, the oldest children are in their forties, and the youngest are already eighteen years old.
As time went on, various contradictions within the Rockefeller Kingdom began to gradually surface.
In the past, due to the strong pressure from the World Government and the Navy, the various forces in the Rockefeller Kingdom were willing to unite closely around Charlotte to fight against the World Government together.
However, now that the World Government and the Navy have been defeated twice in a row in the confrontations with the Rockefeller Kingdom, this has undoubtedly caused the internal forces of the Rockefeller Kingdom to begin to stir and their ambitions have gradually expanded.
Especially the radicals led by Esdeath, who have increasingly questioned and challenged Charlotte's leadership.
Fortunately, Charlotte is still able to suppress the voices of these radicals.
But how will Charlotte respond to Esdeath's decision to attack the Red Earth Continent?
After hearing what Esdeath said, some senior executives including Charlotte, Barrett, Caesar, and Tesla all frowned.
"Esdeath, where does this put Napoleon?"
Caesar's emotions were instantly ignited. He slammed the table, stood up, and stared at Esdeath with his eyes wide open. The anger in his eyes seemed to be about to burst out.
This was the first time that Caesar called Esdeath's name so directly. In the past, he always called Esdeath "Big Sister", which shows how important Napoleon was in Caesar's heart.
This time, Esdeath's attitude obviously touched Napoleon's sore spot.
Facing Caesar's questioning, Esdeath was not afraid at all. She stood up straight, her eyes as sharp as torches, and met Caesar's gaze directly. Their eyes met in the air, and sparks seemed to burst out.
"So do you think attacking the Navy Headquarters can save Napoleon?"
Esdeath's voice was as calm as water, yet it contained a power that could not be ignored.
"Will the Navy not threaten you with Napoleon?"
This question was like a sharp sword, piercing Caesar's heart and catching him off guard.
The anger he had originally felt was instantly choked back. He opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
Indeed, whether they chose to attack the Navy or the World Government, there was no guarantee that they would succeed in rescuing Napoleon.
After all, the World Government and the Navy are not stupid people. They have finally caught Napoleon, an important bargaining chip, and will definitely regard it as a key trump card to threaten the Rockefeller Kingdom.
Even if Caesar completely destroyed Marinford, he might not be able to successfully rescue Napoleon.
After all, the strength of the navy cannot be underestimated, and they have the powerful backing of the World Government behind them.
In contrast, Esdeath's suggestion to attack the Red Earth Continent might be more likely to directly threaten the World Government behind the Navy, forcing them to release Napoleon.
However, facing the brother and sister who were on the verge of a fight, Charlotte slammed the table without hesitation, making a loud noise.
His voice was deep and powerful, which shocked people.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Charlotte spoke, his eyes scanning Esdeath and Caesar, revealing a sense of majesty and determination.
After hearing what their father said, Esdeath and Caesar looked at each other and sat down in silence.
Although they were still anxious, they chose to follow their father's instructions.
Charlotte took a deep breath and continued, "I am more anxious than any of you about Napoleon's capture. However, being anxious alone will not help. We can't run around like headless flies. We must calmly think about how to deal with it."
He paused, and then continued, "I am not afraid that the Navy will use Napoleon to lure our Rockefeller Kingdom like they did with the Whitebeard Pirates. What I am worried about is that the World Government may use Napoleon to do something that is not good for us."
Charlotte's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
Caesar frowned. He couldn't accept that his father was so indifferent to Napoleon's safety, so he couldn't help but say, "Father, are we going to ignore Napoleon just because of the threat from the World Government? He is your grandson!"
Caesar's tone was extremely serious, and his eyes were fixed on his father, as if expecting an answer that would satisfy him.
Charlotte sighed heavily, as if she had endless troubles and worries in her heart.
He slowly took out a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket. The Den Den Mushi was flickering faintly in the sunlight, making it particularly eye-catching.
Charlotte stared at the Den Den Mushi in her hand, took a deep breath, and then pressed the dial button on the phone without hesitation.
As his fingers moved, a string of numbers flashed quickly on the screen, eventually forming a complete phone number.
He held the phone tightly, waiting for the other party to answer.
While waiting, Charlotte quickly adjusted his sitting posture, straightened his body, and his originally relaxed expression instantly became serious.
His eyes were fixed on the phone screen, as if he could see the person on the other end of the line through it.
\"Bru Bru...\"
A clear waiting tone came from the phone, and the sound echoed particularly loudly in the quiet conference room.
Every sound of waiting was like a heavy hammer, hitting Charlotte's heart, making him more nervous.
