Chapter 191 Dragon’s Invitation
Chapter 191 Dragon’s Invitation
The content of the booklet written by Profik to Long is mainly an analysis of the social structure, governance model, production development status, and class division of the pirate world. Some come from personal knowledge and experience, some come from newspapers, and some come from past lives.
Long was not polite and took it over directly - the revolutionary army was still too weak at present, and he did not have the capital to be "courteous" in such matters.
After looking at it for a while, Long breathed a sigh of relief and closed the notebook.
He considers himself to be experienced and knowledgeable. He once served as a vice admiral in the navy and was exposed to many inside stories about the operations of the navy and the world government. He hunted pirates, traveled around the world, and carried out revolutionary struggles for a long time. It can be said that he "knows a lot" about things on the sea.
But when he saw the content summarized by Profic, he was still shocked - his views on the world of pirates were so profound that he felt enlightened.
This is incredible!
You know, Profic has only been at sea for a few months! There are only a few things that can really be called major events, but his analysis of the world is so good that it even surpasses his own self who has been at sea for decades!
Such talent!
No, I should say he is a genius!
It would be a pity if a person with such keen ideas cannot be used by the revolution!
At this time, Long had made up his mind to persuade Profik to join the revolutionary army.
"Mr. Profik, you are really an amazing thinker." Long praised sincerely.
He stood up and said solemnly: "Now, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, I formally invite Mr. Profik to serve as the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army!"
"Sorry, Mr. Long." Profik shook his head, "I can't join you for the time being."
Profik has his own development plan, which simply means "build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king." Under this plan, his strategy has always been to put development first and try to postpone the time of direct conflict with the world government. When his wings are full, he will find a way to destroy the rule of the world government in one fell swoop.
Joining the revolutionary army does not meet his development needs.
The current Dawn is too weak, and the revolutionary army is too weak. Even a weak alliance is far from being comparable to a behemoth like the World Government.
Perhaps more than ten years later, the Revolutionary Army has indeed gradually grown into a powerful force comparable to the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, but now they are still too weak. Facing the suppression of the world government, the revolutionary army could only hide everywhere at this time and was completely unable to fight back. Not to mention the development in economy, public opinion, technology, etc.
As King Shichibukai, after joining the revolutionary army, what awaits Profik and others must be a crazy pursuit by the world government. Not only is it dangerous, but it will also cause them to miss many opportunities to develop themselves, not to mention developing the economy, innovating science and technology, conducting business and trade, and other measures that play an important role in Profik's plan. Only by cooperating with the world government , it is possible to complete it.
In addition, he had another consideration. When it comes to revolutionary theory, perhaps Long's level is far from being comparable to mine. But after all, he is just talking on paper and has no actual struggle experience. It is still unknown whether he can perform well in practice. And when it comes to commanding wars and revolutions, ten of them together may not be able to match the dragon.
Let him command the army, and he might turn into a pirate version of Zhao Kuo.
He was afraid that his joining would affect the original development direction of the revolutionary army. If it can speed up the development of the Revolutionary Army and make it stronger, it will be fine. But if you cause trouble to the Revolutionary Army, or even accidentally cause the Revolutionary Army to suffer heavy losses, then the gain will not be worth the loss!
After all, according to the development of the original world line, the Revolutionary Army will eventually be able to unite with Luffy and others to end the rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
"why?"
Long was very surprised by Profik's answer.
In his opinion, Profik's thoughts, understanding, and consciousness fully meet the standards of a "revolutionary" and can even become a benchmark for revolutionaries to some extent. And instead of driving him away, he said so much, which is enough to show his friendly attitude towards the revolutionary army.
And the dragon really needs a partner like Profic. This is not to say that Long looks down on his existing companions - on the contrary, each of them is of immeasurable value to the revolution.
However, most of the current members of the Revolutionary Army are ordinary people who are oppressed by the world government and spontaneously resist. Big Bear, Ivankov, and Ginny all belong to this group, and can be regarded as the best among them. They are powerful, flexible and determined, but lack cultural literacy. It wouldn't be a problem to let them fight the World Government or come up with some ideas on the battlefield.
However, during the long-term revolutionary struggle, Long realized more and more deeply that they could hardly be opponents of the World Government through head-on confrontation alone. Only by fundamentally shaking the rule of the World Government could the goal of revolution be achieved faster. This requires roles with higher cultural literacy and theoretical level.
Originally, it was Long himself who held this role within the Revolutionary Army. After all, Kelong was busy with affairs. He actually held countless positions such as leader of the revolutionary army, chief of staff, marshal, general, and logistics. He has to handle almost everything in the revolutionary army, and the time he can invest is quite limited. If not, the original revolutionary army would not have allowed a young man like Sabo to assume the important task of chief of staff.
The emergence of Profik provides the dragon with a brand new choice. Although I don’t know why, Profic did show an extraordinary ideological level and theoretical level. As long as he joins the revolutionary army, he can very effectively make up for the cultural shortcomings of the revolutionary army.
In addition, as the King of the Shichibukai, Profic can also get a lot of confidential information from the world government! This can also be of great help to the revolutionary army.
Long has even thought about arranging the position of Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army for Profic. On the one hand, he can engage in public opinion propaganda and ideological construction, and on the other hand, he can also make suggestions to share his own pressure.
However, despite this, Long did not have the idea of forcing Profik to join the revolutionary army. Instead, he said with some regret: "Your thoughts are very important to the revolutionary army. Together we can definitely change the world!"
"So, I want to know the reason for your refusal..."
Profic did not respond directly to Long's question, but asked a question:
"Have you ever thought about why the world government can exist for eight hundred years?"
