The floor was cement, the walls were simply painted white, and the smell of paint still lingered in the air. Boxes of smuggled goods were piled up around the warehouse. Yarlin sat in a chair in the middle, and there was a stack of information on the table next to him. It was all information about Arikos, and he was casually flipping through it.
Through the iron shutter door, two people with hoods covering their faces were brought in by the backbone of the Four Seas Corporation.
"Lieutenant Colonel Yarlin, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." One of the men who took off his hood was Belive. He bowed to Yarlin, then whispered a few words in the ear of the man next to him. Nalifucher also took off his hood, revealing his face.
"This is His Majesty the King of Arikos," Belive introduced.
Fat cheeks and a slightly gloomy expression. Yarlin looked at him and stood up from the chair with a smile. "I wonder if His Majesty the King has come to visit so late at night. Is there anything the Navy can help with?"
Yarlin had vaguely guessed the purpose of Nalifucher's visit. After all, in the entire stack of information, a large part of it was about the conflict between His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister of Arikos. This was no secret in Arikos.
Belive was about to open his mouth, but Nalifucher had already opened his mouth and swallowed all the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He heard Nalifucher say in a low voice: "I do have my own difficulties, so I came here in the middle of the night, hoping to seek the help of the Navy and find a way to survive for my country and people."
Yarlin unbuttoned a button on his shirt and didn't speak.
Nalifucher approached Yarlin and said sorrowfully, "The regime of Arikos is controlled by Prime Minister Jomir. Some time ago, the order to prevent the Navy from entering the port was issued by him. Jomir is an extreme racist who believes in the policy of iron and blood and power. But Arikos is just a small country. Sooner or later, he will bring the whole country and people into the abyss of no return. As the King of this country, I can't just watch him commit unforgivable crimes.
All justice and evil are just excuses for the struggle for power. Yarlin looked at Nalifucher faintly, calculating his own gains and losses and risks. Then he said faintly, "As you said, you are just a puppet of the King. How can I help you? You know, the world government doesn't allow the Navy to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. "
"After sitting on the throne for a long time, even a puppet can accumulate some strength. Moreover, our Nalifucher family has been in control of this country for 14 generations. There will always be some loyal people who are eager to protect the King." "We don't need the Marine's direct intervention. This is not allowed by the World Government. We just want to use the Marine's power to remove the few tigers around Jomir." Narifucher said in a harsh voice. "That's all.
"Oh? Let's hear it. " Yarlin raised his eyebrows. From the confidence in Nalifucher's words, he realized that the King didn't have the slightest ability to compete with the Prime Minister.
"The commander of the King's Guard, Ge Tang, is a loyal dog of Prime Minister Jomir. If I want to overthrow Jomir, I must first eradicate Ge Tang and take back the power of the King's Guard." Nalifucher said gloomily, "I have bought some officers in the King's Guard. As long as Ge Tang dies, I can put his generals in prison for colluding with the Revolutionary Army. But the key to this plan is that Ge Tang must die first. Only the dead can't quibble, let alone have the ability to fight back."
"Revolutionary Army?" This was the Marine's excuse to block Arikos. He didn't expect Nalifucher to be serious about this matter. He smiled and said, "Sounds like a good plan. So, what exactly do you need our help in?"
"Ge Tang is a master swordsman. No one in my people is Ge Tang's opponent. So, I hope the Navy can support a strong person to assassinate Ge Tang." Nalifucher paused. Seeing that Yarlin didn't say anything, he continued, "My people will find a way to lure Ge Tang into the trap alone …"
"What else?" Yarlin asked.
"As soon as Ge Tang dies, I can take over the entire King's Guard. However, Jomir has a very high prestige in the army and the people, so in order to prevent him from jumping over the wall, I can't give him time to react and a chance to remedy. When Ge Tang is assassinated, I will also arrange for people to ambush Jomir, and Jomir always has several bodyguards around him." Nalifucher said, "There are a total of three bodyguards. My people have never found out the origins of these three people. Their strength is also very vague. I only know that Jomir seems to trust the strength of these three bodyguards very much. So, to be on the safe side, I hope the Navy can also give strong support."
"Finally, when everything is settled, I hope that the Marine can confirm that Joe Mill did collude with the people of the Revolutionary Army and make this accusation true, so that I can smoothly suppress the voices of doubt and take over the power of the country again." After Nalifucher explained the whole plan, he looked nervously at Yarlin. "In exchange, when I take over the power of Arikos, the Navy, oh no, the Four Seas Company, will be able to move unimpeded throughout Arikos. The entire country's underground smuggling market can be handed over to the Four Seas Company to set the rules and order."
Yarlin pondered for a moment and smiled at Nalifucher's anxious expression. "It's far from enough. Even without your Majesty's help, the Four Seas Company is backed by the Navy. It's only a matter of time before they control the smuggling order of the entire East Blue. So, it's difficult for this bargaining chip to be attractive to the Navy."
Yarlin sighed and changed his tone. "It's better to add the following two conditions. First, allow the Four Seas Company to extend its tentacles to other industries in Arikos and give official support. Of course, in return, 20% of all the profits of the Four Seas Company will be taken out as a rebate into His Majesty's pocket. Rest assured, the Navy has no interest in the power of Arikos. All we want is profit. This is a win-win situation. Second, I hope that Arikos can allocate a piece of land for the Navy to station. Of course, nominally, this part of the Navy will be included in Arikos's army.
