Chapter 18 The first fire transmission
After Zefa came to the ship, Noah knew that he couldn't hide.
You can hide your swordsmanship level, you can hide your domineering power, but you can't hide your physical fitness.
So he greeted Zefa openly.
"Adam, writer? Please wait"
At this time, Noah saw Zefa pull out a pamphlet, which contained some classic sentences from his works and included a photo cut from a newspaper.
Zefa took it out and compared it, and found that the person in front of him was the person in the photo.
"Are you Mr. Adam who wrote "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and "Water Margin"? Nice to meet you."
Zefa immediately became excited.
Noah may not have felt it when he was in the Four Seas, but in the Grand Line, the name Adam was very popular.
In the era of pirates, it can be said that Adam was the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
Countless pirates, navy and ordinary people from all walks of life respect Adam's works very much.
The spiritual life of people in the pirate era was very poor, and the cultural industry was somewhat similar to the level of Blue Star in the Middle Ages.
Noah's works open the door to a new world.
As soon as "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" was released, people knew that it was possible to talk like this, do things like this, and have such mysterious stories.
This is countless times better than the little stories spread on the sea.
Zefa himself likes that sentence very much:
"The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage."
Not only Zefa likes it, but also Seng Guo and other high-ranking navy officials like it. It’s really touching.
Therefore, Noah’s first vest, Mr. Adam, has a large number of high-end fans in the sea, and the average strength of his fans is extremely strong.
That photo was one that World Economic News implored Noah to take on the first anniversary of the release of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", saying it was to give back to the fans.
Noah thought that if he wanted to separate the two identities of Noah and Adam, becoming famous would be a good choice.
Anyway, he used waterproof makeup, one of Blue Star's four evil arts, as long as he didn't get touched by the washing fruit.
Seeing that Zefa was still a fan of his books, Noah reflected a little on whether his plan was too successful.
Afterwards, the other party invited Noah to sit on the warship. He had some questions about the novel that he wanted to ask the original author.
He had no choice but to agree happily and took his sister Haihara Ai on board the navy warship.
The first thing I did when I boarded the warship was to hold a signing session.
These young navy men were so unstable that they cheered and pulled out Noah's works from their suitcases. Many of them were complete bound volumes. The navy's military pay was indeed good.
He also invited Noah to the restaurant to taste the warship meal. By the way, I visited some of the not-so-secret places on the warship. Go through the visitor process.
Finally we came to the reception room on the ship.
Noah and Robin were very comfortable sitting on the sofa, holding hot tea and eating fruit.
Robin had never imagined that he would board a warship as a guest and receive such a warm welcome.
"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. The conditions on the ship are hard and there are no good things. I will definitely entertain you well next time you come to Ma Linfanduo."
Noah thought to himself, I don’t dare to go to Malinfando now. The Golden Lion was arrested even if he went there, so if I go now, I will deliver the goods to your door.
Hurry up and say something else to deal with it, but you can't let Zefa continue to display the spirit of hospitality.
"Mr. Zefa said that he has some questions about the content of the novel that he would like to discuss. What are the questions?"
It turns out that Zefa is a loyal fan of both "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and "Water Margin".
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" belongs to the fictional adventure genre. Although it has some supernatural powers, it is not very novel on the sea. The point is that the stories and spirit inside inspire everyone.
But "Water Margin" has a bigger problem.
"Water Margin" is an adaptation of fictional historical novels.
Even though some places have been modified, a lot of content related to economy, people's livelihood and public security has been written in the overall framework.
During the Demonic Reform, some place names in the Northern Song Dynasty, some political system and official titles were changed, but many things remained the same.
Zefa has accumulated a lot of problems in this regard. In his opinion, there must be a reason why the era of great pirates has been unable to be eradicated.
Through Mr. Adam's novels, we can see some roads that we have never seen before. It is worth discussing with the author.
The economic development during the Northern Song Dynasty was very good. It mentioned many things that are taken for granted in novels, which are an inspiration to people in this world.
When it comes to economics and people's livelihood, no one in the Pirate World combined can beat Noah.
It's a good time to take this opportunity to spread the flames to Zefa. Leave a little revolutionary seed in the heart of this unkillable general.
Noah starts with the economy of the Northern Song Dynasty, where urban industry and commerce flourished, and commodity-currency relations flourished.
The increasing position of business in the entire national economy has impacted the original closed economic structure to a considerable extent, changed the material basis of government rule, and forced the country's commercial policies to make corresponding adjustments.
I kept talking until it got dark before I could finish. This made Zefa sigh repeatedly that he is indeed a great writer.
It turns out that there are so many settings in the novel, and this comprehensive framework seems as if such a country really existed in the world.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, so Zefa recorded all of Noah's words in his notebook.
In fact, Zefa didn't understand much of what he heard, but he took it down and asked Lieutenant General He, the headquarter's staff officer. Ah He's wisdom will definitely enable him to understand this knowledge.
Originally, I had many questions to ask, but it’s already very late today. I’ll ask them another day. Mr. Adam is going to Cigu Island. I will just drop him off on the warship.
After sending Noah back to the guest room, Zefa continued to study the notes alone. The more he read, the more immersed he became, and he didn't sleep all night.
From Mr. Adam's words, we can see a lot of truths about the national economy and people's livelihood. I didn't expect that a young man could study the world so thoroughly. It was amazing.
After that, Zefa would take time to ask this young man for advice every day on the warship, and he would gain something different every time.
I admire Noah's knowledge reserve very much. He is really a wise scholar.
As they approached Drum Island, Zefa and Noah discussed several very sensitive issues.
One is for recruitment, and the other is for birthdays.
The reason for the recruitment is because there is an internal issue within the World Government recently - the Shichibukai Project.
Recruit seven big pirates to form the Shichibukai Plan, use pirates to contain pirates, and also allow legal plunder. This is something that Zefa's justice cannot accept.
"For example, I mean for example, if the world government lets pirates suppress pirates, do you think it's feasible?"
"To allow pirates to suppress pirates, we must give up interests and the official name.
The benefits are probably going to come from civilians, so I'm not optimistic about this plan.
The nature of pirates is not easy to control. The bigger the pirate, the greater his ambition.
Will we finally achieve a world where only civilians are injured? That's ridiculous. "
Zefa also agreed. Unexpectedly, after just a brief talk, the plan was analyzed.
I kind of want to pull Noah's vest into the navy. It's not an exaggeration to give him the rank of staff officer.
The topic of birth dates is even more sensitive.
The birth chart is very similar to the Celestial Gold of the Celestial Dragons.
They all collect money from the people, plunder a large amount of wealth and give it to a few people.
Many countries that have joined the World Government have had rebellions while collecting heavenly gold, and the methods used by the government to force people to rebel are basically the same.
After the rebellion, a large number of pirates went to sea, and many of them were forced out.
Zefa had caught many such pirates, which made him very sad. So I wanted to ask Mr. Adam if there is anything he can do.
“Essentially, the current world government cannot solve this problem.
Even if the country that should rebel does not hand over the heavenly gold, it will still rebel. Don’t those in power themselves gain profits when they search for the heavenly gold?
That is impossible. At most, it's just another way, which won't be so intense.
In the end, those civilians who can't survive can die a little later, which is the greatest kindness of meat eaters. "
The issue of heavenly gold is not secondary, there is no need to talk about the deeper issues.
Let's talk about whether it is possible to really refuse the tribute of heavenly gold, and at the same time test Zefa's heart.
Changing the sitting position, this position can easily make various responses to crises, such as a roaring iron fist.
"It's not impossible to refuse the gold in the sky."
"Oh~ what do you say?"
Zefa quickly asked, although this matter does not fall under the jurisdiction of the navy, justice is such a 'nosy'.
“If all the countries in the world unite, there will be no gold in the sky.
In other words, let all people in the world unite and do something."
Zefa's hair stood up when he heard Noah's last sentence.
Suddenly the whole person stood up.
He felt a twinge of fear just thinking about Noah's last words.
What would everyone do if they stood up?
Continue to let the noble men draw blood? Continue to let yourself die numbly?
The ants are still trying to survive. When that time comes, every corner of the sea will be shrouded in flames of war.
"Don't be nervous, just talk casually."
"That's right, just saying casually."
The two of them tacitly avoided this topic, and Zefa no longer wanted to pull Adam into the navy. He always cared about that sentence.
