There is a difference between ideal and reality.

Unless you are the protagonist of destiny, otherwise, it would be foolish to have an ideal that is divorced from reality.

Usually, people who only talk about ideals are the type who have an extreme lack of understanding of the world.

When strength is insufficient, see the reality clearly.

And when the strength is sufficient, it overturns reality.

Only then will you truly gain the qualifications to talk about your ideals.

Because, as you rule the world, you can already turn your ideals into reality.

It is at this time that ideal equals reality.

Therefore, Sean didn't think there was anything wrong with Akainu's behavior in O'Hara.

On the contrary, if Aokiji takes the lead and lets the people on that boat go, the consequences are likely to be ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more civilian casualties.

Perhaps Aokiji can gain a good reputation, and the bad reputation caused by greater casualties in the future will all be attributed to the World Government.

But isn’t this just another kind of selfishness?

Those in power must have the awareness to bear the bad reputation, and will insist on making the most correct choice even if they are insulted by everyone in the world.

At this point, Aokiji is much worse than Akainu.

"I hope she can figure it out!"

Sean sighed slightly as he walked out of the office.

------

Ten days later.

Akainu brought more than 300 sailors to the 16th branch.

If so, why did he come so quickly?

The reason is...

This guy was so impatient that he directly robbed Taotu's warship.

Therefore, at this moment, two identical ironclad ships appeared in the port of the central island.

"General Sakaski!"

"Is this... my ironclad ship?"

Walking down the gangway, Akainu looked at another warship not far away and asked excitedly.

"Yes, Admiral Sakaski, it is exactly the same as Vice Admiral Peach Rabbit's ship. Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, so satisfied!"

The more I look at Akainu, the more I like it.

Although it was exactly the same as Taotu's boat, after all, this boat belonged to me, so I was naturally excited.

The luster of metal, three huge triple-mounted naval guns, plus secondary guns arranged on both sides.

It simply fulfilled all of Akainu’s fantasies about warships.

But if Sean had to say it, it would be...

Does this satisfy you?

If you really want to say it, this thing is the cruiser level in my previous life. When will I build a battlecruiser or even a battleship?

Doesn't that scare you?

"General Sakaski, do you need me to help train your people?"

"No, half of the 300 people on my ship are Taotu's people. On the way here, my people have learned from them for ten days, so there should be no problem with the operation!"

Akainu waved his hand directly, indicating that he didn't need it.

In order to save time, so that I can command this warship as soon as possible.

Just like what he said, he asked his subordinates to learn how to control this new type of warship from Taotu's subordinates every day along the way.

"But Sean, I want to ask you something!"

"what is the problem?"

"This kind of warship uses Coke as fuel. I heard Taotu say that she has found a way to buy Coke in large quantities, but now there are not many goods received on various islands. They are basically just the previous inventory, and those who produce Coke

The company, whether it is the boss, employees, or production equipment, is now missing.”….

"General Sakaski, are you worried about the subsequent fuel supply?"

"Yes!"

Akainu nodded.

We have warships, but if we don’t have fuel, wouldn’t they be just like a big pile of scrap metal?

"Don't worry about this. After all, once the new warships are used in large quantities, the fact that Coke is used as fuel will sooner or later be known to other forces. If someone tampered with Coke at that time, wouldn't it directly block our navy?

neck?"

"So, that Coke company didn't suddenly disappear, but was secretly acquired by me and moved to the East China Sea."

"At the same time, I have kept the formula of Coke a secret and will not sell it to anyone else. Even if pirates steal our armored ship, it will be just a lump of iron without Coke."

"As for the subsequent fuel supply, the headquarters can purchase it directly from me, and the price will even be cheaper than before. After all, this stuff will not be used for profit in the future, but will be exclusively for our navy."

Hearing this, Akainu's eyes lit up.

It turned out to be Sean.

Yes, he was thoughtful enough and solved the problem early.

At the same time, Coke can also be used to prevent the ironclad ship from falling into the hands of pirates, causing them to use the ironclad ship to attack the navy.

"But if you package up that company, all the employees and the boss, and buy them all, you'll spend a lot of money, right?"

"If this is not profitable yet..."

Akainu thought about it and decided that he should let Sean earn some money, otherwise it would be unjustifiable.

"It's okay. It's not completely unprofitable. After all, employees' wages and equipment maintenance still cost money. But it's 20% cheaper than before, so that's still no problem."

"As for the money to buy this company, that's not important. I'm not short of money at the moment!"

"Besides, isn't it the right thing to contribute to the Navy?"

Sean's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and Akainu was moved to a complete mess.

What a comrade!!!

However, he won't know...

The actual cost of Coke, even if you add in daily equipment maintenance, employee wages, etc.

As long as the number of ironclad ships increases in the future, this cost will never be higher than 30% of the supply price.

That's right, the supply price here refers to the price that Sean will supply to the Navy in the future.

It is still a huge profit.

At the same time, Sean has asked there to try to produce a batch of cola with a lower sugar content and a slightly adjusted formula.

After a series of tests by French, it was found that this low-sugar cola would not only reduce the cruising range of the warship by 23%, but also reduce the life of the power system by 38%.

This further reduces the performance of the already castrated foreign trade version and reduces its final power system life.

The most important thing is that the cost of Coke can be reduced by 17%.

It can almost be understood that this is a kind of inferior fuel...

As for why he did this, Sean also had his own considerations.

Unless one day, the entire navy is in control and can be independent from the world government.

At that time, Sean will completely replace the navy with its own version and provide genuine Coke fuel.

Otherwise, what will be supplied to the Navy will only be foreign trade versions of warships and inferior cola fuel...

After the handover was completed, Akainu did not stay long, but left quickly.

He couldn't wait to personally command this armored warship that was completely his own.

After he left, Sean came to the branch's underground research institute.

------

"Letus, how is the progress of that project?"

"Lieutenant General, we have made a batch of experimental bombs, but we need ability users to test them before we can determine the final effect!"

"A devil fruit user...how many are needed?"

"If we want to conduct a comprehensive test, it will require about ten people!"
