Chapter 438 Necessary pomp
Viewed from a high altitude, the power station and desalination plant look like a series of low bungalows crawling along the coastline.
But in fact, most of the main area that works is located below the horizon.
The entire factory area has nothing to do with grandeur. If they hadn't been told, no one would think that this was a desalination plant that cost a lot of resources to build.
In fact, many residents of the nearby oasis had been to the camp many times and had no idea what the Sand Ninja wanted to do here.
Many of the caravans coming and going did not understand the nature of this settlement, and only regarded it as a temporary foothold and cargo distribution center.
It wasn't until today that the number of already busy Sand Ninjas attracted everyone's attention.
"Kazekage?"
When Gaara, surrounded by everyone, entered the hastily tidied camp, everyone suddenly woke up. This place was not a simple supply station. Otherwise, Kazekage wouldn't have to come in person.
only……
"The Kazekage is that young?"
Everyone already knew the news of the new Kazekage's birth. The people below were not so sensitive to the changes at the top. Only after seeing Gaara's appearance did they have a real impression.
Daimaru, who is half of the local "local emperor", received the dusty Feng Ying and his entourage.
After the formal ceremonial interaction ended, Daimaru privately invited his "brother-in-law" into his personal residence for a deep talk.
"I thought you couldn't come, why did you suddenly make the trip?"
"Before I left, I notified the people below. Before they came up with a result, I set off directly..."
As if thinking of those people's faces, Gaara couldn't help but smile.
After receiving Daimaru's report, Gaara suppressed the matter without telling anyone, and only announced it suddenly when the matter was about to happen, which caught the elders who were used to Gaara's "well-behaved and sensible" style a little off guard.
Of course there are those who support it, and there are also those who oppose it. Some people even think maliciously that it would be better to just let Gaara die outside. The backlash after killing the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara has not come. Konoha Village asked if they needed support, and Sunagakure Village's answer was also ambiguous.
Before reaching a consensus, Gaara took the members of the Shadow Guard who were loyal to him and left regardless, leaving behind the senior advisors who looked at each other.
Although they didn't take Gaara seriously, no one could think of stopping him.
After all, he is the nominal leader. Once he takes action, it will be like tearing his face.
Think about how Gaara came to power?
strength!
Although the dark history of the past has been criticized, it is also a source of fear. Although Gaara has changed his ways, who can guarantee that he will not fall back into his old ways and beat to death those who forcefully stop him?
Discussing rules with the elders and advisors sounds like respect for the seniors, but in fact it means compromise with each other. Once the superiors have no scruples, the people below will not have any means of checks and balances except to kill the enemy.
"It's understandable to be willful occasionally! You are still young and have a little emotion. The elders won't take it to heart..."
Daimaru said with a wicked smile,
"Just stay here for a few days. There's no rush anyway..."
It was not Gaara's turn to make decisions on serious matters.
Let me test the bottom line and let everyone know that Gaara is not a temperless person. If he goes back and admits his mistake, he will be cowardly for a while and everything will be fine.
Even if some people don't want to give up, what can they do, change Feng Ying?
Even Fuyi, who disliked Gaara, would not have such frivolous thoughts.
"I see!"
Gaara, who replied, looked at Daimaru's humble residence.
The slightly larger military tent was transformed into an office and living residence.
It seems that the atmosphere of life is not too strong. Daimaru is not an ascetic who would refuse a superior material life, but he does not pursue it deliberately. As long as it is comfortable enough, being simple is okay.
“Why not build an office building?”
"There's no rush. Once the desalination plant starts operating, and we have the money, we can build a luxury office building..."
"You're so rude!"
"When starting a business, it's okay to share the joys and sorrows with my subordinates. But when it comes to enjoying the results, I, the "boss", look like a poor man. How do the people below get along?"
The status of the subordinates is greater than that of the leader. Do you want to hang out?
"Appropriate extravagance is not a bad thing. It allows onlookers who want to enter the market to have confidence in us..."
If you are not decent, how can you negotiate business with those "taken advantage of" with huge sums of money?
Gaara smiled noncommittally:
"Extravagance and waste are all justified by you!"
"This world is so superficial, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
Daimaru spread his hands nonchalantly,
"It's hard to predict people's hearts. You can only make the best of the situation. Everyone in the world recognizes this rule!"
"It's up to you! Don't let anyone catch you..."
"rest assured!"
How should we describe these people in the ninja world?
"Leeks" who have not experienced the test of a complete financial meat grinder have almost no idea of all kinds of "hidden exploitation".
It would be nice to be able to instinctively feel the relationship between strength and weakness, wealth and poverty, war and peace, stability and carnage.
Only a very small number of elites can see through the inner nature of the world.
The leader of the "progressive organization" of the ninja world like Nagato actually believes in the ridiculous idea of collecting tailed beasts and using absolute force to eliminate the war in the ninja world. It shows that apart from his strength, his knowledge is really poor, and he doesn't know what he is doing. What the hell did Laiya teach them in the first place.
Not as good as Uchiha Madara's "Eye of the Moon" plan!
The ninja world's version of "The Matrix", although it is ultimately a scam, the idea is not too biased.
After taking a short rest, Daimaru led Gaara, took a simple elevator, went tens of meters deep underground, walked through the metal corridors, and came to the huge generator set.
Along the way, Gaara was surprised to see that the oil lamp that originally illuminated had been extinguished, and the radiance of the incandescent lamp dispelled all the darkness.
"Didn't you say that the ceremony will be held in the evening? It has already started?"
Daimaru grinned:
"It's a trial production! If we don't try it out in advance, what if we make a fool of ourselves in public?"
Although the thermal power plants in the ninja world are primitive, they still have mature technology; multi-stage flash evaporation desalinate seawater. Although Daimaru knows the principle, he knows nothing about the actual technology. He can only learn from the technology of the puppet technique and reluctantly build a ninja power plant. The world’s version of an intermodal desalination plant.
Because the coal has not yet arrived, we have to temporarily collect loose coal in the Kingdom of Wind for emergency use, and use giant puppets to provide power to make up for the shortage. The power system is no longer a problem, but seawater desalination is relatively troublesome.
