Chapter 293 Insufficient manpower
As Cap said, if this matter was not instructed by William, the situation would be even worse. This shows that the order in the East China Sea has collapsed and the situation is corrupt. The weakness of the local navy has been seen. Some cunning criminals deliberately took advantage of the navy's time to do evil. Cap and others must consider whether more people with ulterior motives will follow suit, which will cause greater riots.
Moreover, the attack on the naval base can be said to be a matter within the navy, but when the capital of the world government franchises was attacked, even the palace was burned and the king was killed, the nature changed.
This is no longer just a matter of the Navy.
Indeed, in the countless great routes of the great pirates, there have been vicious incidents in which pirates go to big cities to commit crimes and even go to the capitals of the franchise countries to commit evil, but this is the East China Sea. In people's perception, this is different from the great route that has always been chaotic.
Just like in William's previous life, wars occurred in Africa or the Middle East, people thought it was accustomed to it and would not make too much fuss. However, if the same thing happened in countries with good public security and stable social situations, it would have a very wide and extremely bad impact.
It has been a long time since such a serious crime occurred in the East China Sea. Cap and others can imagine how panic and angry the world government in the East China Sea will join the parliament. They will definitely cause the matter to the world government, and soon the world government will ask the Navy Marshal about this.
After all, on the surface, from William's arrest and imprisonment, to the collective riot of the East China Sea Pirates, to the riot that caused the navy to be in a mess and unable to stop the criminal gang from burning the palace, it was the Navy headquarters' actions that led to a series of events that happened next.
However, this also made Cap and others suspect that this incident might be related to the Morgan Group, because the incident happened so coincidental that the naval base around the capital of the Kingdom of Fales happened to be attacked before the incident and was unable to monitor the sea area. This gave the remnants of the Bucky Pirates and the Dragon Pirates an opportunity to enter the capital of the Kingdom and break through the city.
"I have called the Warring States Period before and told what happened here," Cape smiled and said to Doberman. "The Warring States Period is very angry. He wants us to stabilize the order of the East China Sea as soon as possible and not to cause panic among the locals. Moreover..., he rejected my request to send a group of people from the headquarters, but he agreed to my proposal to increase the reward for Morgan Group cadres."
The other three lieutenant generals disagreed. The most important thing now is to solve the problem of rioting pirates. Even if the reward is increased, these pirates will not tie up the cadres of the Morgan Group with abnormal minds, and then swagger to the Navy to receive the bounty. At most, they can attract some bounty hunters, or people who are paying attention to the bounty provide them with some clues.
The most important thing is actually the manpower issue.
Everyone knows the four lieutenant generals in the conference room that the pirate group that plagues them now are not worth mentioning in terms of strength. If any of the few people here encounter these pirates head-on, they can poke them to death with one finger.
It is a real finger and it will be poked to death, because all four lieutenant generals will use their finger guns.
But the problem now is that they cannot meet. High strength does not mean that they can be divided into tens of millions of people. The East China Sea is so wide that the riots are distributed everywhere. Not to mention that the four lieutenant generals cannot leave this city. Even if they leave, they will not be able to manage the entire East China Sea without William. If the four lieutenant generals can easily suppress all crimes in a sea area, the navy will spend a huge amount of military expenditure every year, so what should we do with so many idle people?
They could only allocate the officers and soldiers brought from their headquarters to various places, mainly officers at school or lieutenant level, reorganize the local navy, and then strangle these rat-like pirates.
"Call the officers and soldiers scattered all over the city," Caper waved his hand, his face exuded a sense of boredom. "Let the nobles of this kingdom worry about the safety of the city themselves. We can just concentrate our hands on the prison where Morgan William is."
There is something wrong with this city, and even this country. A criminal from a pirate who deceives the masses, imprisons the nobles, and becomes a ruler of the country. However, in the eyes of civilians and even all walks of life, he still has great prestige. Even if he is arrested and imprisoned, most of the civilians dare not disobey the majesty of the Navy headquarters, and still complains, and there are some commotions from time to time. The real rulers of this country have no prestige in this city. Even if they control this city, they have to ask for help from the navy.
The prison guards handcuffed William and wrapped cotton cloth. After Smoger returned, he reported it to his superiors. Since then, Lieutenant General Stolobery has no trust in the locals, and has been worried about the locals doing anything during William's detention, so he agreed to the request of King Norton I and the local nobles.
During this period, the city's ports, city gates and other key facilities were basically stationed by the Navy headquarters. They could know any abnormalities and suppress them as soon as possible.
The original idea of the four lieutenant generals was to maintain this state until William was executed, and then mobilize the officers and soldiers brought by the headquarters to the local naval base one by one for a smooth transition. However, now things are so big that the steady plan can only be abolished. They cannot disperse the officers and soldiers across the East China Sea while also helping the local rulers to strictly control the city.
"I really don't know what the nobles of this country have been doing before, so they didn't use this level," Lieutenant General Dalmesia mentioned the nobles of the Navia Kingdom, and looked very angry. He knocked on the table hard and knocked off a piece of the solid wood table. He said angrily, "They still hold banquets every day. Don't they know that they can't even control their own country?"
Cap smiled, and the other lieutenant generals said nothing. They were just soldiers and their duty was to wipe out the pirates and they were powerless to do anything like this.
...
In fact, Lieutenant General Dalmesia's evaluation of the nobles of the Navia Kingdom is not entirely true.
Even though these nobles did not know about it before, they had three years of experience of being "bloody suppressed" by William, they also understood that they should be concerned about the affairs of the kingdom, especially military power.
Indeed, banquets were held one after another in the aristocratic area, but unlike in the past, nowadays, not only old nobles appeared in the banquet, but also many generals who did not have noble titles and were dressed in military uniforms.
Originally, the aristocratic strength of the army was removed by William as carrion. These officers who appeared at the banquet were all middle and high-level generals who appeared during William's reign, but they failed to enter the Guards and were not absolutely trusted by William.
