Chapter 427 Expansion x Supreme Law
Currently, Xia Jieren is mainly responsible for the expansion of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
I have to say, it is convenient to have the [Piaopiao Fruit].
Wherever it expands to, Ariely can simply move the entire island nearby and use it as a military base.
It expanded outward in a fan shape with the Kingdom of the Netherlands as its center.
At first, Xia Jieren selected four islands as military bases, but as the ruling radius increased, the four bases became a bit stretched.
The sea is too vast!
The [Kingdom of the Netherlands] has a complete surveillance network, but there are still pirates or people from other forces who break into the waters ruled by the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] from time to time.
Without much consideration, Xia Jieren waved his hand and added four new military bases, while expanding the size of the Dutch Navy again.
Today, the Netherlands Navy has more than 20 troops, 8 military bases, 23 branches, and 214 warships.
Apart from the World Government, only the Kingdom of the Netherlands can afford an army of this size.
Of course, the Wester Empire could afford it at its peak.
However, the [West Empire] is already on the decline, and we can only reminisce about its past glory.
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.
Two months later, after a period of adjustment, the Dutch Navy took the initiative to attack, targeting the countries in the West Sea and other forces.
Xia Jieren was very domineering and he demanded that no illegal behavior be allowed within his rule.
In addition, Xia Jieren also published the extremely detailed laws formulated by Kerrigan.
The main point is that "a prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner."
Regardless of whether it can be done or not, Xia Jieren first made his attitude clear.
He just wants to govern the country according to law.
Considering that the pirate world is in turmoil, many laws are mandatory.
After the Dutch Supreme Law was promulgated, the masses were in an uproar.
[Kingdom of the Netherlands] Most citizens are supportive, a small number of people have some complaints, but they are not serious.
After years of propaganda work by the Dutch Daily and the popularization of knowledge by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the people have begun to gain some wisdom.
They all clearly understand the importance of the law and what it means to them.
It can be said that as long as 80% of the people support the [Supreme Law], no matter how corrupt the royal family of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] is, the people of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] will not suffer.
Knowing this, how can people not support the Supreme Law?
There is no airtight wall in the world!
Intentionally or unintentionally, the Supreme Law has gone abroad.
Morgans, the president of World Economic News Agency, has a keen eye and has produced a special report specifically for the Supreme Law.
[The "Supreme Law" of the Kingdom of the Netherlands! ]
The article contains many passages excerpted from the Supreme Law, using easy-to-understand language to explain what problems these laws can solve and whose interests they can protect.
The entire text of [Supreme Law] embodies fairness and equality.
Morgans highly praised the Supreme Law.
There is no doubt that the newspaper caused an uproar as soon as it was launched.
Countless ordinary people, when seeing this newspaper, the first thought is: "Impossible!"
The second thought was envy, envy for the people of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Those who are able have already packed their bags and are ready to set off.
More people could only look at the sea and let out a deep sigh.
Unlike ordinary people, the first thought of the powerful after reading this report was: "The [Netherlands] is crazy!"
What follows is fear, a fear that penetrates deep into the bones and shakes the soul.
They all began to control public opinion and put pressure on the world government.
When the Five Elders learned of Morgans's unauthorized actions, they became furious.
Then, two CP members dressed in white and wearing strange masks left [Mariejoa].
Morgans was well prepared. Before the newspaper was published, he had already slipped into the airship and sailed into the vast clouds.
Afterwards, under the manipulation of public opinion by the World Government, kingdoms all over the world criticized the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] one after another, and even pirates disliked the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].
For a time, the Kingdom of the Netherlands became the public enemy of the world.
Holy Land [Marijoa], [Between Powers].
"Dig your own grave!"
"The Kingdom of the Netherlands made a stupid move!"
“This is great news!”
"That's right! Now the powerful people in various countries can only stand on the side of the World Government!"
"How's it going over there in the West Sea?"
"Almost! But those guys are really greedy."
"Humph! I expected that!"
"Promise them first, and wait until later... humph!"
"it is good!"
The headquarters of the Navy, [Marinford].
"Haha~, that kid Xia Jieren did a great job!" Cap slapped the newspaper on the table and laughed.
"Garp! Be careful with your words!" He reminded, then stared blankly at the newspaper spread out in front of him.
After a long time, He let out an ambiguous sigh.
Zhan Guo remained silent, his eyes dim and unclear.
If possible, he would like these laws to be enacted by the world government.
Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.
The naval generals who read the newspapers all had complicated expressions. How could they not know the significance of these laws to the world?
New world, [Cake Island].
"Naive little brat!" Charlotte Lingling casually glanced at the contents of the newspaper, sneered, and then threw it away.
New world, [Ghost Island].
Kaido's attitude towards the [Supreme Law] is similar to that of Charlotte Linlin, and he is very disdainful.
He had no interest in the weak, let alone in ruling over them.
In his view, force is the best means of ruling.
New World, [Moby Dick].
"Dad! Something big has happened in the [Netherlands Kingdom] again!" Marco smiled and handed a newspaper to Whitebeard.
"Oh~" White Beard immediately showed a curious look and took the newspaper.
After a moment, Whitebeard let out a long sigh and said solemnly: "[Netherlands Kingdom]... No! Xia Jieren is really not simple!"
"Dad! Why do you say that? Isn't it just a law?" Marco asked in surprise.
Hearing this, Whitebeard smiled and shook his head: "This is not as simple as just a law!"
"If we can implement it unwaveringly, 99% of the chaos in the world can be eliminated!" Whitebeard said firmly.
The surprise in Marco's eyes became even stronger. He took the newspaper again and read it carefully.
To be honest, people who can become pirates are not very interested in the law.
Because the law is contrary to the freedom that pirates pursue.
Marco was scratching his head, unable to figure out what was going on.
Whitebeard smiled, then sighed with some regret: "Alas... If the country where I was born had such complete laws, then... I would probably not be a pirate now, but a fisherman!"
