Chapter 396 Everyone Will Get What They Want

Lex looked around at everyone and expressed his thoughts:

"I have made up my mind to cross the Calm Belt. As for the consequences, they are still within control. This time, I asked Mr. Tom to design a new type of ship technology to achieve the goal of crossing the Calm Belt. Even if this technology comes out, it will only be in our hands. Whether the world can easily cross the Calm Belt and whether the new world can connect the four seas is also in our hands."

After hearing this explanation, Roy finally felt relieved.

Roy is a man who is used to being in control of every situation. Lex usually doesn't care about anything, so all the big and small things in the new world fall on him and Gut, so he must be cautious and steady, have the ability to control the situation and be prepared to deal with changes.

It's easy for Rex to say this idea. Mr. Tom will create the technology to make ships that can cross the doldrums, and Rex will promote it, thus opening up a truly era of free navigation across the entire Qinghai Sea.

However, once this idea is implemented, there are too many interests and changes involved.

The cross-sea trade chain alone would have to be completely overturned and replanned, not to mention the various sea forces that needed to be changed. Once the times became chaotic, Roy and Gut would be busy to death~

Gut is an old man who has followed Golden Lion for many years. He is a down-to-earth and steady think tank. He works hard every day without regrets and handles all the big and small trivial matters for Lex.

Gutt worked hard without complaint, but Roy was different. He would not indulge the willful Lex and asked directly:

"Have you ever thought about what we will face after passing through the doldrums?"

Lex calmly shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but my second brother must have a plan in mind. I believe in my second brother."

Trust your mother! ~

"You just f*cking believe in my ability to be a beast of burden!~"

Seeing this, Xia Nuo took the opportunity to taunt:

"Hehe, I told you that you are a bully, Roy~"

Roy didn't even look at Shanuo and replied casually:

"You are not even qualified to be a cow or a horse, you useless piece of shit~"

A piece of trash who got shot in the nose! ~

Xia Nuo was instantly filled with grief and anger. He wanted to refute but didn't know how to start. He could not mention this matter again. No matter how he explained it, he would never be able to get rid of this huge stain for the rest of his life. He could only keep it in his stomach and pretend he didn't know.

So Xia Nuo turned his head away instantly, snorted coldly, and chose not to pay attention to anyone anymore. Even when the kind-hearted Benny came forward to comfort him, he just remained aloof.

Ignoring Shano's clownish behavior, Roy continued to state to Lex:

"You have to know how much effort we have put into the cross-sea trade chain. Once it penetrates the Calm Belt in an instant, the interests of many people will be affected. This is not just the beginning of a new era like the Great Rise Era. Many of our own people will be implicated, and people from all over the world will take away the interests that belong to us. Have you really thought it through?"

Lex had a blank expression:

"Then we should do it step by step. It can be slow, but we must do it. We should start with a few large chambers of commerce under our command, open up a few routes from the four seas to the New World, and then slowly promote it. Is this appropriate?"

Lex had a blank expression on his face, but Gion and Stussy, who were very attentive, had changing expressions and looked at Lex and Roy frequently.

Gion and Stussy were keenly aware that something was wrong in the atmosphere. It seemed that Lex was not happy with Roy's reminders and suggestions, but he finally chose to compromise.

Lex was certainly not happy with Roy's suggestion.

What does Roy's suggestion mean?

It is to continue to strive for greater benefits for the forces that originally belonged to Lex.

Even if they could penetrate the Calm Belt and expand their trade chain business, they would first have to give the lion's share of the profits to the various forces under Rex's command, such as the Flying Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Gale Pirates, Phantom Sword Pirates, and other "direct forces", rather than to the civilian retail investors around the world.

But Lex didn't think so.

What Lex has always been thinking about is the core of "returning life to the world". To open an era of great rise is to return the power and dream to the world. Now he plans to penetrate the Calm Belt and connect the New World with the four seas in order to return the wealth and freedom to the world.

Lex doesn't care about his own "direct power", he cares about the freedom of all Qinghai.

This is not to say that Lex is so great and philanthropic, he just did this because he wanted to.

He felt that only when all of Qinghai was free would he have greater freedom, the absolute freedom above the frosty sky where all things compete for freedom!

Lex is indeed willful, but Roy is extremely rational. Even when he withstands the pressure and refutes his brother, he is only considering things from Lex's perspective.

Only by distributing more benefits to our people can we achieve long-term stability and rule the world for a longer period of time.

Roy took a deep breath and said:

"Some things cannot be accomplished by sheer force, Lex. ... Unless you kill all the people in Qinghai, this conflict of interest will never end. Where there are people, there will be disputes. But at the same time, as long as these disputes are handled properly, better and more tangible benefits and results will be achieved than simple killing."

Roy spoke earnestly. He had followed Lex to open up the world and expand the territory over the years, and he had seen that Lex was simply lawless! ~

Just because he 'wanted' to, he would gather a group of strong men to attack the holy land, save the world and start an era of great rise.

Just because you 'want', you have to make choices that are beyond common sense and the times, and interfere with the fate that has not changed in eight hundred years.

If this isn’t lawlessness, what is?

Roy has to clean up his mess and provide him with a guarantee, so he has to advise Lex.

Lex spoke in a rare deep voice, word by word:

"I will usher in an era of freedom in Qinghai sooner or later, sooner or later."

This time, Roy did not refute Lex, but firmly supported him:

"I always believe in your choice. Today's concession is for a brighter future."

Although Xia Nuo didn't quite understand the conversation between the two, he still encouraged them: "We will all do what we want to do!"

Although Tom didn't understand why, the topic that Lex and Roy were talking about was too high-level, involving the interests of millions of people, but he also laughed cheerfully: "You are all famous men!"

Gion said playfully: "We are also famous daughters!~"

Stussy covered her mouth and chuckled, and Benny's cheeks turned slightly red, but she also nodded slightly and imperceptibly.

At the end of the year 1498 in the Haiyuan calendar, the first year of the Great Rise, Lex and Roy jointly decided on a plan to penetrate the Calm Belt at Tom's Shipyard in Magic Valley Town. At this moment, the sea was in the midst of a vigorous wave of the great era.
