Mid-December of the year 1521 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The construction progress of the Serrano Kingdom Naval Base is 20%.

"Boy, what happened to the base?"

Listening to Gumir's voice coming from the phone bug's mouth, Feiniao picked his ears, looked at the naval base in front of him that had just laid its foundation, and said lazily.

"How far has this been built... The foundation was just laid yesterday..."

"Old man, do you really plan to send Peng Enfa here?"

"Pooh!"

"Don't say it so harshly. It would be a good thing to be the base commander in the Four Seas. Being able to escape from the chaos of the Grand Line and go to the North Sea to shine is something that not many people can look forward to."

"So, when do you plan to send Penn over?"

"Next year, after the repairs are completed, you will be the base commander there for a while, and I will get you some supplies after a while."

"OK."

...

Pacha!

Putting the hung-up phone into his arms, Asuka blew smoke rings at the unfinished naval base in front of him.

This damn sense of oppression. Although the base has not been built yet, it does not prevent you from seeing the foundation. After all, this is a replica of the G-8 base, with the cannon turned outwards.

Thinking of this, Feiniao looked down at the child squatting on the ground and playing in the mud, and wondered.

"If you don't go and win favor with the common people with your mother and lay the foundation for becoming a king in the future, why are you here playing in the mud?"

The little girl looked up at the flying bird and said in a sweet voice.

"My mother said it was inconvenient to hold Tia while giving a speech. Recently, my father is studying how to make money, and Tia suddenly doesn't want to study, and there is no one to play with Tia..."

Listening to this little chatterbox's constant chatter, Feiniao rubbed his head with a headache and called out.

"Pence!"

"Pence, come here quickly!"

Snapped!

Pence jogged all the way to Feiniao and saluted.

"Colonel Asuka, call me!"

"You stay with the children and Ni, while I go to guide them in building a base."

Pence looked at the little girl making clay below, and then at the back of the bird as it left. He looked at the albatross flying in the sky speechlessly.

After a moment, Pence put on what he thought was a very warm smile, bared his teeth at the child, and said with a smile.

"Kid, uncle will accompany you and mud..."

"don't want!"

After saying that, Tiya stood up directly, shook the mud on her hand towards Pence, and quickly stayed away from this uncle. Her smile was so heart-chilling.

...

Asuka pointed at the drawing, moved his finger to the center, and explained it in detail to these craftsmen.

"This is a naval base that serves as one of the last lines of defense against pirates entering the Grand Line in the North Sea. You can't do anything casually.

First of all, the safety of people on the island must be ensured. Coast defense guns must be available.

The base must be built high and big, so that people can tell from the outside that this base is not easy to mess with and they have to avoid it.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the port again.

"This place needs to be renovated and a shore defense built to prevent pirates from landing easily.

I really couldn't do it, so I just cut off the coastline and turned three sides of the island into cliffs so that pirates couldn't easily land. At that time, I can shift the focus of the base to the only side where they can land."

The port and coastal defenses here were shattered during the pirate occupation.

With a few cannons supporting the shore defense, even dogs can come up.

Seeing the architect in front of him who was transferred from the headquarters frowning, Feiniao blew out a smoke ring and said in confusion.

"Can't it be done?"

"That's not true!"

The master architect shook his head, then nodded toward the palace and whispered.

“Colonel, some time ago, didn’t we nominally give the Kingdom of Serrano a fee for the concession island?

If it is to be built like this, although Lieutenant General Gumir is providing supplies at the headquarters, the money is not enough."

"No money?"

Hearing the colonel's confused tone, the builder shook his head firmly.

"It's not that we have no money, it's that we have no money to build such a large base."

“Isn’t this still no money?”

"call!"

Asuka blew out the smoke again, then looked down at the child who was rubbing mud on his trouser legs with his hands, and sighed.

"Why do you spend money so fast these days?"

As he spoke, he picked up the child and asked.

"Kid, do you have any money?"

After the civilian kid wiped the mud off his hands, he stretched out a finger toward Asuka and said.

"I only have 10 Baileys!"

10 Bailey!

Muttering in his heart, Feiniao took out a piece of candy from his pocket, waved it in front of the child, and said seductively.

"Cosmic candy, 10 Baileys each!"

When the child saw the shining golden candy, his eyes suddenly shone with golden light. He quickly took out 10 Baileys from his pocket and handed it to Asuka. After taking the candy, he jumped directly from Asuka's arms to the ground and ran away.

.

Throwing the 10 Baileys in his hand to the master builder, Asuka held the back of his head with both hands and said helplessly.

"I'll go to sea in two days to get some money. You guys can build it first."

"yes!"

After seeing the master builder leave, Feiniao lowered his head again, looked at another child rubbing mud on his trouser legs, and said helplessly.

"Why do you all like to rub mud on my trouser legs..."

"Tiya just saw the kid who rubbed mud on her brother's trouser legs and got a reward from her brother."

"That kid bought it with money."

"I have no money!"

Tiya took it out of her pocket for a long time, but she didn't take out a single coin. Her family lived in the palace and she didn't need to go shopping on the street.

Looking at the poor Tiya, Asuka took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote a few words, opened a door in the air, and stretched his hand in.

After a while!

Her eyes were shining as she watched Asuka take out a super candy cane from the air door.

Passing the candy to Tiya, Asuka glanced at Tiya who tore open the package and ate it directly.

"Kid, eat less sugar and be careful of tooth decay!"

"knew!"

After saying that, Tiya ran away holding the candy in her hand.

...

It is impossible for Asuka to leave here now. He has to ensure that the people on this island can protect themselves.

Not long after he left last time, the place was attacked by pirates. Fortunately, he stayed with more than 400 sailors at the time, so the pirates finally did not cause too much damage.

If he leaves here this time, he must at least wait until the island has some self-defense capabilities before he can leave again.

Under the organization of Feiniao, five bunkers were quickly built not far from the port, and several cannons were placed nearby as a crude shore defense.

He used to be in charge of this island personally, so there was no need for shore defense guns.

But for some time to come...he has to go out and make money...

This island's tax revenue has nothing to do with their navy...

boom!
