Chapter 30: Brain-Dead Powder Kobra
"Of the 732 people, only 61 people can return to their hometown?" After getting the accurate results, Tina muttered to herself in a low voice.
"You've done a good job, at least 61 families have been redeemed, and at least those who are left don't have to be slaves." Admiral Louis comforted.
"Little Tina, this is already a glorious victory. Unlike other pirates, those pirates under the command of slave owners have hostages as talismans, and many times we dare not force them too much to ensure the safety of the hostages, so we can only let them release some of the slaves before making plans. β
Commodore Admiral Adkin sighed and praised at the same time, "Although we also know that this practice will greatly contribute to the atmosphere of those slave hunters, it is too difficult to balance safety and war results, and your actions this time have undoubtedly greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of those pirates, and I will record your exploits this time when you join the navy in the future." β
"Huh? Tina didn't do anything, it's all thanks to Big Brother Longinus! Tina hurriedly waved her hand in refusal.
"Don't worry, I won't forget Longinus's share, he is probably being interviewed by those reporters now!" Brigadier General Adkin was quite envious, and he was a brigadier who appeared in the newspapers only a handful of times, and even those times were mentioned as written materials because of Longinus's light.
There's no way, who called him rough in appearance, mediocre in strength, and ordinary deeds, and there is no material worth digging at all.
But Longinus is different, even just taking his face into it, can make the sales of the newspaper rise several notches, even those who are not particularly interested in looks, and can't find any fault with his perfect resume, once became the children of other people's families in the mouths of those parents in this sea.
β¦β¦
"Quite a perfect answer, Major Longinus, looking forward to our next collaboration!" A humanoid bird gentleman takes off his top hat.
"Vice President Mooreguns, your question is also quite sharp and strategic, and I think we may have the opportunity to work together again in the future." Although the other party was a large humanoid bird, Longinus did not show any unusual gaze.
"I also have this hunch that with the potential of Major Longinus, our cooperation will never end here, and I hope that my report will spread throughout the great voyage with Major Longinus's fame!" Morgause, with a funny belly, walked out of the room calmly, ignoring the laughter in the distance.
"The future president of the World Economic Newspaper?" Longinus stared in the direction of MΓΆrgaons, and then looked down at the slightly closed palm, "Only by mastering the power of public opinion can 'justice' spread to farther places!" β
β¦β¦
In the evening, the kings of the rest of the countries arrived one after another.
This is the main reason why they asked for naval arbitration, and those kings would not have been so comfortable entering the territory of neighboring countries without the presence of the navy, which symbolizes "absolute justice".
"The most troublesome thing in this four-nation meeting is Alabastan, because they are the strongest and have also benefited the most in the previous wars, if they stop here, although they will still be the biggest winners in this war, but the subsequent benefits may be lost a lot."
During the staggered dinner, Brigadier General Adkin coped with the greetings of the dignitaries and nobles, and at the same time told Longinus several points of the meeting.
"Moreover, that old fellow of Alabastan is extremely cunning and treacherous, and has always advocated biting the fattest piece of meat from the enemy, and has waged dozens of wars, large and small, during his years in power, which has expanded Alabastan to its current level. In fact, I was surprised that he agreed to participate in the four-nation talks. β
"As for the other three kingdoms, you should pay attention to King Azka, that guy is stupid and greedy at the same time, although he has lost the war now, he may still fantasize about using his 'masterful' negotiation skills to grab profits, don't let his stupidity ruin this meeting."
The corners of Longinus' mouth twitched speechlessly, "Are we here to arbitrate, or are we here to be babysitters?" β
"Those who can work more, those who can work more!" Brigadier General Adkin glanced around and said in a low voice, "Actually, Shengting Island is a mess, don't look at the sea area under my jurisdiction is the largest among the brigadier generals of the branch, but in fact, they saw that I was the least qualified and asked me to take over here." β
"Because, according to my previous account, all the navies stationed here have found traces of the frequent activities of the intelligence agencies of the world government on this island, and it seems that this is an area of great concern to the world government. That's why we came to a consensus, try not to mess up Santing Island, so as not to interfere with those government guys. β
"Is it because of the former royal status of the Nafirutali family, or because of the historical stone tablet owned by the royal family?" Longinus recounted the memories of the otherworldly soul and thought to himself, "It should be the former!" Otherwise, the world government would not have allowed Klockdahl to wreak havoc in Alabastan for so many years! β
Just as Longinus was thinking, Commodore Adkin patted Longinus on the shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "It seems that I am in the way, so it will not prevent you, a naval hero, from exuding your own charm!" β
Sure enough, after Adkin, the thick-eyed guy left, many warblers and warblers soon came over.
"Are you Major Longinus who freed those poor slaves? Sure enough, it's as handsome as the one in the newspaper...... No, I mean, as kind as the newspapers say! β
"Is there such a thing as kindness that can be seen at a glance? Obviously, I just fell in love with other people's appearances, superficial! But I was different, I saw the interesting soul of Major Longinus! β
"You...... You're so sassy! β
"Major Longinus, can you tell us about your heroic deeds in the fight against the pirates? If we don't have enough time, we can go to a quieter place and discuss it in detail. β
"You old women in your twenties, hurry up and let go of Major Longinus, can't you consciously find an uncle who is more suitable for your age?"
"What do you little girls who haven't grown any hair know?"
"Auntie, you're very long-winded!"
"What do you call me?"
"I'm sorry, I should call you aunt!"
"Damn little girl, see if I don't tear your mouths!"
"Come on! I've long seen that you aunts are not pleasing to the eye! β
With the outbreak of war, Longinus was squeezed out with a confused face.
At this time, a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of Longinus, and he was so excited that he couldn't say to himself, "Lang...... Bright...... Major Longinus, to be able to see you here, I ...... I'm so happy. β
"By the way, let me introduce myself, I am the crown prince of Alabastan, Nafirutali Kobra, and I am also your most loyal admirer!"
