Chapter 71 Am I missing something?
“I… my legs were just a little weak just now.
Dorag hesitated.
Darren smiled and ignored this face-conscious guy.
"So what do you need me to do for you?"
Dorag said enthusiastically.
Darren's eyes flickered for a moment, as if he was brewing some plan. The light in his eyes quickly faded, and he smiled:
"Don't worry about this for now, I just need to make sure you can do it."
He glanced at the honest bear next to him.
"At first I thought you might not be able to catch up, but now it seems that it shouldn't be a big problem."
Dolag was a little confused, but he was ready to do anything. As long as he could get enough financial assistance from Darren, he would do anything.
“So…how much financial assistance will you give me?”
There was eagerness in his eyes, he rubbed his hands together and looked at Darren with burning eyes.
"No, it should be as much as you need."
Darren took a puff of his cigar slowly, crossed his legs and smiled, looking calm.
How many do I need?
Dorag was confused for a moment.
He doesn't have a clear answer to this question yet.
Although he was born in the navy and had a good background, he actually did not know much about the management of internal affairs of the army.
The navy's management system is very mature. In addition to the frontal combat department, it is also equipped with a large number of civilian personnel such as staff officers and administrative officers to help the military in uploading and issuing orders, military expenditure scheduling and normal operations.
Because he inherited part of Garp's carefree personality, Dorag was not interested in such tedious things in the military in the past.
But now everything has to start from scratch, and his eyesight suddenly goes dark.
Rescue the people, purchase arms, recruit people... Dorag opened his fingers and counted them, his expression extremely tangled.
Darren was not in a hurry and let this guy calculate.
To be honest, he was not too surprised by Dorag's request.
Creating an army from scratch is not an easy task.
He was able to pull the North Sea Fleet together largely because there were already naval forces in the North Sea.
——I just "poached" this army from the navy.
Of course, after Darren's own management, consolidation and development in the North Sea over the years, the current North Sea Fleet has completely escaped the control of the Navy Headquarters. It can be said that it no longer has anything to do with the original weak North Sea Navy.
And this also illustrates the difficulty of forming an army.
By hollowing out the entire North Sea and making crazy money in that sea area, Darren was able to maintain the current consumption of the North Sea Fleet.
If he hadn't emptied the gold reserves of Huanggangxiang on Kongdao, he would probably have been troubled by the further development and expansion of the North Sea Fleet.
As for Dorag's request, just let it go like borrowing money.
Although Darren is no longer short of money now that he has Kongdao's gold reserves, it is always not good to borrow money.
Especially for a homeless guy like Dorag, there is a high probability that he will not be able to make it.
Forget it if it's not enough, in the end, I'm still angry, which affects the relationship between the two.
In this case, it is better to give it directly.
At least it can be exchanged for a promise from Dolag.
The promise of a general-level or even future legendary-level combat power that can be used by you is a good deal for Darren no matter what he thinks about it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Darren does have more money than he can spend.
Kongdao’s gold reserves are too rich.
It piles up there day after day, worrying about how to spend it.
When there is a lot of money, it is just a number.
If you can't spend it, it actually means nothing.
It's better to buy Dolag as a favor.
"I figured it out!"
At this time, Dorag suddenly raised his head and clenched his fists.
Darren smiled and said, "So, how much does it cost?"
Dolag carefully observed Darren's face and said tentatively:
"One billion Baileys?"
There was some uncertainty in his tone.
After all, one billion Baileys is a huge number no matter where it is placed.
One billion beli placed in the hands of the navy can build 15 conventional warships, or 5 huge warships of the Demon-Slaying Order level, or it can be used as a year's military expenditure for an elite force of 2,000 people.
One billion Baileys is already an astronomical sum for Dorag, who currently only has two bachelor commanders.
This would at least solve all funding problems within the next year and help him build a small army that was beginning to take shape.
Dolag knew that Darren was rich, but he didn't know how rich he was... and considering the issue of face, he was embarrassed to ask for too much.
"That Darren...if you think 1 billion Baileys is too much..."
"no problem."
Darren waved his hand lightly and interrupted Dorag directly, cleanly and neatly.
Dorag was stunned.
This is too easy a promise.
He immediately felt regretful, was he going to lose something?
The bear next to him was also stunned for a moment. He had never seen such a arrogant person before, and felt that the figure of the vice admiral in front of him had become taller.
"No, I made a mistake just now. I want 1.5 billion Baileys!" Drago gritted his teeth and said with a red face.
"Can."
Dorag:? ? ?
"No, I said it wrong again, I want 2 billion Baileys!"
"make a deal."
Dorag:? ? ?
He looked at Darren smoking leisurely in front of him with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
"How rich are you?"
Dorag's voice began to tremble.
Darren shrugged and said:
"I don't know either."
Damn it! !
"Then I want 2.5 billion!!"
Dorag seemed to have risked everything, his eyes were red.
Darren glanced at him.
"Can."
Dorag:......
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
He turned his head with a frantic look on his face and asked the big bear who was already stunned:
"So how much should I ask for!?"
Big Bear shook his head honestly and swallowed his saliva.
Dorag looked at Darren who took out 2.5 billion beli in front of him but smoked cigarettes lightly without blinking. He was extremely angry.
How can it be repaired! !
The faces of you rich people are so abominable! !
I, Monkey D. Dorag, swear to overthrow the world government... and kill all you rich people! !
I want to create a better world!
"Forget it, I'll just give you 3 billion Baileys."
At this time, Darren, who was a little impatient, decided directly.
Three, three billion...
Dorag's whole body was numb, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.
After being stunned for a second, he finally reacted.
Pressing the big bear's head again, they all bent down and bowed.
"thank you!"
Dorag looked extremely excited and vowed:
"Darren, you are indeed my best friend, Dorag!!"
He turned around, stretched out his hand to the big bear, and laughed:
"Mr. Xiong! This day will be the official day of our voyage!"
The bear smiled and nodded. He was about to reach out, but paused.
He looked around, took out a pair of black gloves from the clothes rack nearby and put them on, then walked over again and held Dorag's hand.
Dorag:......
Then, Darren told Dorag to go back to Beihai to get the money, and then sent the guests off directly:
"Then let's stop talking here, Dorag."
"I have to go back to headquarters too."
Dorag nodded, suddenly remembered something, took a step forward and lowered his voice:
"Darren, do you want the bodies of those pirates that were carried out just now to be handed over to me?"
Darren gave him a suspicious look.
Dolag chuckled and said:
"Although most of them are just minions, together they can collect a bounty of two to three hundred million beli."
Darren:…
"Okay, okay, whatever you want."
He said angrily, waving his hands as if to shoo away flies.
