Chapter 3648: We are the real pirates

Karachi, the cabinet meeting of the democratic government, they abolished the Karachi king and handed over the power to the parliament. This is a great good thing for them. However, Karachi is a waste of time and many things need to be resolved. The main contradiction is: With too little fiscal funds, Karachi had to abolish a large amount of taxation. As a result, fiscal revenue fell sharply and government offices had been reduced to a minimum. This was their biggest difficulty. It is also the most contradictory, because they want to do something to solve the employment problem, but the problem is that they have no money, and they can find ways to make money if they have money. This is really a contradiction.

"The idea of ​​the Korean government is good, but the problem is that we don’t have money, we don’t have money, and naturally we can’t do these things. You must know that our situation is that we lack sufficient financial funds. Things are good things, and we also need to build. The Navy, however, has funds. Without sufficient funds, many of our problems are difficult to solve." The Minister of Finance said first. His reason is against. The reason is simple. It seems difficult for a government that even has difficulty in running the government to purchase warships. The Minister of Finance made this statement. The other ministers can't say anything. After all, they also need funds. The Ministry of Finance has no money and their plans are good. That is, without money, everything is empty talk. This is simply the biggest disaster for them.

"Even though I know the Treasury Department is difficult. However, I think the Navy still needs to be built." At this time the Secretary of the Navy stood up and said. The Admiralty has a small number of people. This may be the smallest number of government departments in Karachi. There were only three people, the Secretary of the Navy, the Deputy Commander of the Navy, and a Navy Assistant. Because Karachi does not have a navy, but in order to save face, they had to set up such an empty department. This is an extremely embarrassing department because they have no naval power and only an office. This annoys the Secretary of the Navy because there are no warships and no soldiers. It's just an empty shelf, nothing more. Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy needs a positive response from above too much. Others saw the Secretary of the Navy speak and just shut up. Because they don't have to pay a penny themselves.

"Oh?" The Secretary of Finance looked at each other unexpectedly. The Secretary of the Navy, who has no real power, didn't know what reason he would give.

"The navy is just some preventive naval forces. They can also bring us greater help. We can get some related funds from the Koreans. At the same time, we need to do our best for foreign trade. What I know is We currently have a lot of handcraft workshops in Karachi, they can produce a lot of products, but most of these products are taken away by the Koreans at low prices. As for where they make money, we don’t know. Anyway, that’s the thing. That is, we need trade, and we need maritime trade. Only if maritime trade is developed, we can solve more taxes. If we are afraid of spending more money in this way, and we are afraid of spending money in that way, then we don’t have to do anything. It’s very simple, because we can’t do anything. This is a huge disaster for us. We can’t do such a thing at all. What we need to do is to complete this situation as soon as possible, and our solution That's it." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Well, I think it makes sense. Only when we spend money can we make money. I think trade may bring us even greater surprises. Let's talk about it. The Secretary of the Navy is right. I believe that Koreans are like this. If we do, we will actually provide us with such a fee. I think we should do this.” The other party thought about it and said so. Then he stopped talking. It's time to shut up.

The Minister of Finance was lost in thought. It was not that he was afraid of spending money, but that he really had reasons to worry about many things, because if he didn't make money back, everything would be finished. The meeting has temporarily entered a stalemate. The question of whether to build the navy has shifted to the question of whether to invest funds. After all, their funds are too limited.

On the northern section of the Suez Canal, a lieutenant hurriedly came to the office of the squadron leader of the 3rd Speedboat Squadron.

"Sir, things are a bit abnormal. I am worried that things may have exceeded our expectations. On the 12th, according to the original plan, the **** Meda should come back yesterday, but it did not come back this afternoon. I think it happened. There is a problem." The lieutenant said very worried. His face is full of anxiety, and this situation is very bad for him.

"Don't worry, speak slowly. We should figure out the situation, maybe they just encountered some uncontrollable accidents, they should be back." Captain Li Shuang said.

"No, sir, I think this is impossible. According to the fuel they carry, they should have returned. It is impossible for them to maintain such a long stay. This is very abnormal. If this is the case, all our conditions are Will be in an extremely bad state, which is not a good thing for us." The lieutenant said.

"So, do you think there was an accident?" Captain Li Shuang asked.

"Yes, sir, they shouldn’t be like this. It’s very abnormal. We have to do something. Otherwise, we will be in an extremely unfavorable state. If we lose a speedboat, a potential enemy may be planning something against us. , And we don’t know anything. This is the most terrifying place.” The other party said. Captain Li Shuang nodded and agreed with this view. Now he dare not let this kind of thing continue. Who knows what will happen, in that case, they will be completely passive. This is definitely unfavorable. They shouldn't let this happen.

"You are right, we must take some measures. I will send a telegram to the headquarters. At the same time, we should go around to check. In order to prevent accidents, our search and rescue boats must move forward with more than two speedboats so that in the event of an accident , Take some actions, check their communication equipment, and be sure to keep in touch. This is very important." Captain Li Shuang said. The lieutenant nodded in agreement.

Jeju, the Ministry of the Navy, the Secretary of the Navy and his staff discussed the issue of sending troops, but on the issue of sending troops, their opinions were very consistent. That is to say, because they have a lot of naval power, they don’t care about it. Only continuous attacks can occupy more. Many islands. The Jeju Navy moved quickly, and they soon occupied it. Today’s Okinawa Islands, Iwo Jima, and Guam cannot be controlled in the more southern islands. Because they are small and have greater requirements for voyages, they cannot guarantee that they can return in time. They can meet the needs of South Korea's strategic blockade. As for the others, they are not considered.

"The crux of the problem lies in the size of the navy. As far as we know it, it is difficult to operate large warships on the Suez Canal. If our destroyers get there, they are likely to run aground. For us, it is simply The worst thing. So, we can only dispatch some light frigates, torpedo boats, and other things, we can’t do anything.” A naval officer expressed his own opinion. They are officers of the general staff category, and naturally they are thinking of the whole people. Sex, only in this way can their situation be in a favorable position.

"Yeah. That's right." The Secretary of the Navy nodded and said. Although Jeju dispatched more warships, they seemed willing to carry out such an expansion, after all, they were pirates.

"However, sir. I heard that piracy is going on there, and it's very rampant. Let's get involved at this time. Isn't it dangerous?" A young officer said worriedly.

"Pirates?" said the Secretary of the Navy.

"Haha, there are pirates. Hahaha." The Secretary of the Navy laughed loudly after speaking.

"We started as pirates. If we compare to authentic pirates, we are pirates. We are the only ones who rob others, and they can't rob us at all. We are the real pirates." The other officers laughed. Although they were forced to study for a period of time, this is the only way for the Jeju Navy to become regular, otherwise they would not be promoted, but they are still pirates in their bones.

Qi State, Lou Jing's prime minister's office, Lou Jing is also thinking about the layout of Qi State. Many places in the world are occupied. Qi can only occupy a very limited number of places, and there are still problems in many places, such as the southern part of the peninsula, where conflicts with Goguryeo will continue to escalate, and the number of Qi people is too small to form effective control. In Southeast Asia and the Western Ocean, there are only a few strongholds, and it seems very unfavorable to expand on a large scale.

With the establishment of industry and the production of a large number of products, they encountered a problem that needed to be solved extremely, that is, the market and raw materials. With the outbreak of the Zhao State crisis, although they are now actively responding to it, it has also brought great vigilance to Qi State. That is, Qi must have its own market, but where should Qi put the market? Is it consistent with Zhao Guoren? Lou Jing thought about it. He has been avoiding being too closely associated with the people of Zhao. In this way, the independence of Qi can be maintained to the greatest extent, but in that case, the strategic environment of Qi is in a bad state, which makes Lou Jing feels very embarrassed, he has vaguely felt a bad atmosphere in it, which usually means that big things happen. Lou Jing shook his head and no longer thought so.
