Finally, there is another joy that is only aimed at the East Asian Alliance. After more than three months of see-saw, the attitudes of the Southeast Alliance and the Southwest Alliance have finally changed substantially. They are willing to send special envoys to the capital base with Zhou Yuan to decide whether to stop the hostility Preliminary talks on relationship and cooperation.

"Why did they suddenly change their attitude?" Hong Tao was surprised when he heard Randy talk about it.

Zhou Yuan's eloquence and brains are definitely enough, but they are not enough to completely resolve years of grievances to the point where she can sit down and talk about the future with just one mouth.The most incredible thing is that not only the Southeast League changed its attitude, but even the Southwest League also let go.

If the Southeastern Alliance felt tremendous pressure from the East Asian Alliance because of the Xinyang Incident, the Southwest Alliance is still far away. Not only should it not change its attitude, but it should also increase its support for the Southeast Alliance and make a gesture of joint resistance.As the saying goes, if there is no normal state, there must be ghosts, and when things go wrong, there must be ghosts!

"Maybe it was inspired by the Continental European Parliament?" Randy didn't seem to know, so he could only guess.

"If you have nothing to do and want to grind your teeth, you can go to Jiao Qiao. I'm very busy and I don't have time to spare!" But Hong Tao didn't believe a word.

"Last month, a group of Laotian survivors fled into the Southwest Alliance area. Their base was captured by a group of zombies led by living corpses, and there were traces of zombie dogs. They didn't believe our reason for chasing and killing zombie dogs. Now I have to believe it. Negotiations are fake, but experience learning is real."

The trick didn't work, Randy shook his head and had to tell the truth.It turned out that the leadership of the Southwest League did not take the initiative to change their attitude, but was forced to show their favor and wanted to know more about zombie dogs.

"Let me say that the negotiations are not necessarily fake, and the experience must be true. Since the establishment of the Southwest League, we have never had in-depth exchanges with us. The conflicts are mainly caused by strangers. This is a good opportunity to understand each other. The league should tell the core ideas frankly , let them think about the decision.

It is up to man to plan and accomplish things. Don't have too deep prejudices because of the previous hostile behavior.On the issue of dealing with the zombie virus, it is best to put small groups and personal interests aside for the time being. "

Although he is no longer in the leadership position, Hong Tao is still very concerned about the development plan of the alliance. Before Randy asks, he confides his opinions and puts inoculations.

"You guessed it right again. Some people have already begun to oppose it before talking about it. The reason is very high-sounding. They think that the Southwest Alliance has caused us a lot of trouble on the issue of Xinjiang and provinces. If they want to make changes, they can only rely on words It is not convincing enough, and we must take the lead in making changes, such as giving up the entire territory of QH province."

Randy stared blankly at Hong Tao for a few seconds before expressing the alliance's high-level attitude towards this negotiation, which seemed to be somewhat dispirited.It is obviously a good thing, but there are people who want to oppose it, and there is nothing I can do.

Chapter 1087 Good news is more worrying

"You still don't know much about them. These people are full of power, and everything should serve to get more power. Except for the winner, the prince and the loser, they will not cooperate on an equal footing.

If you succeed in cooperating with the alliance led by Zhou Yuan, even if you wipe out all the zombies in the country, it will still do them no good.The more successful you are, the more uncomfortable they will be. This is called a conflict between the enemy and ourselves, which cannot be reconciled.

You should read more XXX anthologies when you have time. Although I don’t agree with some of his practices, I must admit that there is still a big gap between people playing with people and thinking about human nature. "

Without Lan Diming's explanation, Hong Tao could guess who opposed the peace talks and understand why they opposed it.But I can't provide enough help on this issue. If I am not in my position, I can only recommend some books that can help improve my ability in a certain aspect, which is better than nothing.

"Their votes are not enough to overturn the resolution. The negotiation time has basically been set, probably around the Spring Festival. At present, the two sides are only negotiating on details.

Oh yes, both envoys offered to meet and chat with you before negotiating.This is not your responsibility, and it may bring unnecessary trouble to you and the self-administered district, but I still want to listen to your opinion. "

The negative emotions didn't stay on Randy's face for too long, it should be said that they disappeared in a flash.The head of the two-time coalition government is still very tough in spirit, but also very despicable, knowing that it will bring trouble, but still speak out.

"...Are you expecting me to fight with them face to face, no matter who wins or loses, the government you lead will be the beneficiary!" It is indeed a big trouble, as the former leader, and the two are in competition Even if groups with hostile attitudes meet privately, the other party proposes it first. What will outsiders think?

The first thing to be suspected is the issue of stance. Is there a possibility that the purpose of my return this time is to disrupt the management of the East Asian Union, and at the same time secretly flirt with the two hostile groups in the southeast and southwest, hoping to use external forces to regain leadership.

Once this guess is believed by the majority of the alliance leadership, he will turn from the founder and reformer of the alliance into the biggest traitor, and even Jiao Qiao and Lin Na will have to turn against each other.

Of course, it is also possible to continue to believe in yourself.In that way, those who firmly oppose themselves and those who choose to believe in themselves cannot coexist, and the last bit of the veil will soon have to be torn off and plunged into a fierce duel.No matter who wins or loses, there will be a heavy price to pay, and then the neutral faction will become the only winner without doing anything.

"I'm not that mean, it's up to you to see or not!" Randy modestly denied the accusation.

"I take back the suggestion just now, you don't need to read that book anymore! Go inform the special envoy of the other party, I am willing to meet!" Hong Tao continued to praise Randy's great progress, and agreed to the request for a meeting.

If you refuse, it will not change someone's mind in the slightest.Human beings have a function completely different from other creatures, suspicion and association!This is how the rumors that have plagued human beings for many years come about. At this time, human beings will look at unknown issues with a logic that would rather be believed than believed.

"Hehehe, personally, I'm glad to see you helpless in the face of major choices. But I am no longer an individual, and your choice has not failed the trust and expectations of many people.

You certainly don't believe that I will be willful, but Minister Zhou does.She only notified me of the meeting, and I didn't tell anyone, so you still have the right to make choices to maximize your own interests. "

Being denigrated face-to-face as a bastard who has no humanity and only cares about the interests of individuals and small groups, Randy is not only not angry, but also laughs, laughing presumptuously and proudly.This information was the most critical, but he deliberately put it at the end, obviously because he wanted to see Hong Tao reveal his true nature in the face of the pressure of life and death.

"You should read it. Kindness alone is not enough to deal with despicable people. You have to be more despicable than the despicable people. In addition, help me give Zhou Yuan a word, she is a bit too smart, and everything is too late .”

Being tricked by others, including one of his most trusted people, Hong Tao didn't regret it too much.The reason why Zhou Yuan did this was probably that she had the same intention as Randy, and wanted to take the opportunity to see if she would fight for the well-being of all mankind as she always advertised, and put personal gains and losses on the back burner.

But she is a bit too independent in her work. The task of this mission to the Southeast Alliance is to explain clearly what happened in Xinyang, to convince the other party that the East Asian Alliance does not intend to destroy the buffer zone, to ease the tense relationship between the two sides, and to buy enough time for The military prepares.

In the end, not only did she complete the task, but she also got involved with the Southwest Alliance. The other party agreed to send a special envoy to negotiate, which must be her credit.Ordinarily, this was a pleasant surprise, but the problem was that she didn't greet Randy in advance, and agreed to the other party's request on her own initiative, and then greeted Randy.

Leaders like capable subordinates, but leaders are more taboo against subordinates who are too uncontrolled.No matter how capable you are, if you always catch the leader by surprise, it will become trouble after a long time, even if it always brings surprises.

Ordinarily, the royalist faction was presided over by her and Lu Yejiangnan, and they were no worse than the reformist faction in all aspects, but why they couldn't turn over and were always suppressed for so many years, one of the most important points was her character.

Being smart is a good thing, but you can't always show it to the fullest, you must know how to restrain yourself.No one in the world likes to work with people who are much smarter than themselves, and that always feels uneasy.Appropriately pretending to be stupid makes it easier to unite the people around her. In this regard, Zhou Yuan has never been as smart as Lin Na.

"Do you think we can take this opportunity to have another similar merger of Xinjiang and provinces? How much will it cost? If it can be done, the East Asian Union can be renamed the Asian Union, and an Asian Parliament will be established to bring survivors from all over Asia Let's unite and develop together!

Compared with them, we have a population advantage and more resources. Even if we are established later, we may come first. If it goes well, I estimate that it will take about two years. "

Randy has three purposes for coming here today. First, he wants to seek Hong Tao’s opinion on the special envoy’s visit, so as to avoid accidents that turn good things into bad things. Second, he wants to complain about Zhou Yuan’s arbitrary style. Will listen, except for this man.

Now that the first two goals have been achieved, there is one last thing left, which is also the most important thing.He wanted to ask Hong Tao if it was possible to include the Southeast Alliance and the Southwest Alliance, and how likely it was.

He has consulted several ministers within the government for their opinions on this issue, but what he got was not advice but the position of his butt.No matter what they think in their hearts, the reformist ministers will definitely complain about their difficulties.Anyway, it just means one thing, I don't want to see the government continue to grow, which will affect the strength of the reformers.

The royalists are naturally happy. If this can be done, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take great credit.As Zhou Yuan's reputation increased, the possibility of competing for the next secretary-general also increased.If the post of secretary-general can be taken down, many neutral factions will join the royalist faction, and their power will inevitably increase greatly.

The neutrals really live up to their name. Some are willing to see the unification, some are unwilling to expand too fast, and some don't care about anything.It's okay if you don't ask, but after asking, you will be even more uncertain.

"What's the matter, seeing people unite, you guys are jealous too? Or have you thought about becoming the secretary-general of the Continental Congress?" Hong Tao heard about this for the first time, so he didn't have time to think about the specific gains and losses, but instinctively It feels like Randy may have been affected by outside influences.

"Regardless of whether there is a Continental Parliament in Europe, these two forces will have to have an explanation sooner or later. The distance between the three is too close, and they used to be one country and one nation, and the voice of reunification within the government is very loud."

Randy also did not deny that as the leader of the government, no one wants to become bigger and stronger during his term of office.There was no precedent in the past, and we could only go step by step steadily. Now that there are successful people overnight, if you walk slowly, you may fall too far behind.

Chapter 1088

"What country and nation are all nonsense. It is a concept made up by human beings for the convenience of ruling. When the zombie disease just broke out, everyone was in danger. Have you heard of these things? Black people give a steamed bun, you can because of different races Do you not eat? Or do Koreans give clothes, do you think different countries do not accept it?

During the most difficult time of the Revival Alliance, pilots from Europe and survivors from Korea and Japan fought side by side, and we gave them an environment where they could live in safety.

When formulating the rules at the beginning, I emphasized that it is absolutely not allowed within the alliance to keep warm by ethnicity, country and religion, but you have not implemented this rule 100%.Now they want to expand abroad in the name of the country. The starting point is crooked, and there will be no good results.

Although Europe was divided into more than a dozen countries in the old world, and the languages ​​were not the same, the differences in essence were not that great, the sense of identity between them was relatively strong, and the geographical environment was easier to integrate.

The situation in Asia is completely different, first of all because of the difference in geographical environment.Excluding South Korea and Japan, mainland China, Mongolia, Siberia and Central Asia are relatively easy to form an integration.Southeast Asian countries are separated by sea, so it is not realistic to be too close.The Indian peninsula and the Arabian peninsula are also relatively independent and far away.

Asia as a whole covers more than 4000 million square kilometers, more than four times that of Europe. It spans more than half of the world from Turkey to the Bering Sea. It has a vast territory that cannot be penetrated by a railway.I can't even imagine what kind of organization should be established to fully coordinate the order and prohibition.

Even if you annex the other two alliances, the total number is less than a million. Are you a little too optimistic that you plan to use this few people to rule the whole of Asia?

Back then, Genghis Khan fought all year round, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were not idle. As a result, they fell apart, leaving neither culture nor promoting the development of civilization.He has become famous, but how many civilizations and dead bones have been buried, and what is the ultimate goal?

If it's just for fun, then I'll discuss it with Jiao Qiao tomorrow and ask him to give me command of the Armed Forces Department.Sweep East Asia within one year, send troops to Europe within three years, and guarantee that you will be crowned in the Vatican Cathedral within your lifetime, claiming to be a cool death!

Then what?The 300 million survivors on the Eurasian continent became 50, and the resources accumulated with great difficulty were burned out.You start to inspect the territory from the west, and it takes five years to complete a circle, and you hang up before completing the third circle, leaving a mess.Before the coffin was buried, it became a few, a dozen, or dozens of small countries.

If there are future generations, your comment should be like this.Randy Cunningham, born in Boston, United States of America, Air Force Base Refueling Staff Sergeant.After the outbreak of the zombie disease, the Asian Parliament was established, led troops to sweep Liuhe and annexed all directions, unified the Eurasian continent, and established the Shuangshi Empire, which is called Shuangshi for a lifetime.

During his tenure, the number of residents in the empire dropped from 300 million to 50, resources were consumed by wars, technology fell back by 200 years, almost slash-and-burn farming was done, and resistance broke out frequently in various places.In the end, I was so happy, the empire disintegrated, and it took less than three laps..."

It's not that Hong Tao doesn't like unity, but he dislikes unity for the sake of unity.Before there is no definite way for most people to make their lives as good as possible, people who shout like this are either crazy or bad.

Hong Tao has only one attitude towards this kind of person, contempt.If it is a stranger, draw a gun and kill it.If it is an acquaintance, it is better not to be too rude, but also to be sarcastic, and it is best to scold even the eighteenth generation of ancestors.

"What if the crowned emperor is replaced by you?" Randy was not convinced, and opened his mouth to say that others are justified, and it is your turn to continue scolding if you have the ability!

"Thank you, if you want to have fun, you can do it yourself, I'm not happy!" Of course, Hong Tao would not scold himself, and rejected this assumption cleanly.

"But if we don't go, people may not come. Didn't you say before that the white people have an aggressive nature in their bones, and now that the white people in Europe are unified, they will definitely not stay at home obediently, right?"

At this time, Randy showed his true nature, not aggression, but an axis.When he was first rescued from the hospital, he had this virtue, accepted death, and could not change it for a long time. After suffering countless beatings, he restrained himself.But it's just a restraint, once the opportunity comes, it will relapse.As the ancients said, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change!

"You are so funny, what do they use to invade? The important people have no strongholds and no strongholds, and they are pulled by trains or galleons along the way for tens of thousands of kilometers?

I can say very responsibly that now no one has the ability to run long distances. Even if they run over, they will win a battle. In the end, after taking stock, you will find that it is not profitable at all after costs and losses are taken into account.No one is willing to do a business that is obviously losing money.

For example, if we want to invade the Southeast Alliance by force, we will lose money.Those who died were all young and strong, and most of those who were snatched were old and weak.We have all the resources in the local area. The large tracts of land acquired not only cannot create value, but also have to be guarded by people, which is a waste of labor.

What we need now is not expansion but contraction. We plan several relatively complementary resource areas and put most of our energy into them to speed up construction.In the era of hot weapons, there is no natural moat, one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it, and all useless places can be temporarily abandoned.

You should understand the truth that hitting with an open palm is not powerful enough, and it is easy to hurt your fingers, but if you hold all five fingers together to form a fist, the power of hitting will be doubled.

Expansion is to rob population and resources, and the population of our generation determines the need for no expansion.Lay a solid foundation for the next generation, and the next generation, and leave them with a big fist, which is much better than slapping around and cutting off a finger every now and then.

At present, the most important goal is to reproduce, so that the population will grow rapidly. When all the resource areas in the whole north have our base cities, no one needs to worry about the expansion, and it will happen naturally.

In addition to reproduction, internal management must be strengthened, and the foundation must be laid firmly, starting at least a hundred years.Management depends not on people but on rules. To put it bluntly, it is to continue to improve the rule system.When the refugees no longer feel aggrieved by life, and have a sense of identity with the alliance from the bottom of their hearts, when the foundation is finished.

If the current trend continues, how many refugees are willing to go to the front line to fight for the alliance?Even if they are coerced and lured to go, will they try their best like they did when they fought against the zombie army?It's okay when the wind is going smoothly, but once they encounter difficulties, they will be the first to abandon the alliance, and maybe they will fight back. "

People who are full of ambition but lack of ability always feel that others think the same way. They are afraid of losing the initiative and being passive, so they rush to act first.Compared with offense, defense has higher requirements on the psychological quality of the executor, and it is easy to be impulsive if you are a little impatient.

Hong Tao felt that at this time, Randy had encountered a bottleneck in judgment, unable to objectively analyze the strength comparison of all parties.In fact, it is not just him, it is likely that this is the consensus of some people in the government.

To put it bluntly, they do not have sufficient governing ability, and as the size of the alliance grows, they are at a loss. At this time, two extreme situations are most likely to occur.If you are not extremely conservative, you will not be able to grasp the opportunity; or if you are extremely impulsive, you will easily take the initiative to make foolish moves.

In fact, this is not a big problem. There are not many professional politicians in survivor organizations around the world. Everyone's starting point is similar. They are all learning while doing it. It depends on who is willing to learn and learn quickly.

At this time, Hong Tao has a little right to speak, and has some experience in how to rule a country. Even if it is an ancient country, it is large enough and has enough problems, so there is a certain reference.

Besides, the science of politics has not changed much in essence from ancient times to the present, and it has not even made much progress.

"...If through negotiations, the Southeastern League and the Southwestern League are willing to merge, what kind of conditions should we put forward?" After a short silence, Randy didn't know if he had given up his unrealistic fantasy, but changed to another possibility.

Chapter 1089 Don't Shame to Ask 2

"I said Secretary-General Lan, you can't use me as a newspaper column. If you want to read it, you can read it, and if you don't want to read it, you can put it aside. It's free anyway. Such specific and complicated issues are one after another. I should think about it, let me say what's going on, I didn't get a penny of the minister's salary!"

Randy asked seriously and listened carefully, but Hong Tao answered very hard.One is not prepared, and the other is that the problem is really difficult and the necessary conditions are still lacking. It is very tiring to rely on the analysis and judgment of the cocoon.

"The government will approve the proposal on the ranch as soon as possible!" Randy understood, he is familiar with this set, exchange it.

"You're fooling me again. The proposal has passed the council, and there are still three months until the beginning of spring. You can count it up slowly. I'm not in a hurry." But Hong Tao is not very satisfied with this exchange. It is clearly a certainty, so you take it out You're fooling me, you're too dishonest, your heart is damning, you must raise the price!

"... Let me know if you have any conditions!" There is no fundamental change in personality, but Randy's skin is really thicker, and he is not ashamed to be exposed in person, and continues to bargain as if nothing happened.

"Meet the two special envoys, try to persuade them to cooperate with the alliance, plus free consultation, is it not a loss to double the power supply?"

What to change?Hong Tao originally wanted to say that the radio station in the self-administered area should increase the coverage area, together with the full coverage of the base zone safety zone, but he felt that it was a bit early, and there were not many good results.

Let’s get more practical. Although there are some generators that can be used, there is still no stable power supply. In the future, more processing industries will be developed. It is not a disadvantage to have more electricity.

"Is it used to make guns or other weapons! Don't think I don't know. The pistols you produced have been sold to the safety zone in the north of the city. Are you still not satisfied?" Randy suddenly changed his face when he heard the electric power, and scolded the people in the self-administered area harshly. Crime, heartbroken.

"The self-made firearms are in full compliance with the alliance's regulations, and are also suitable for the existing conditions of the self-administered area. You just gave a name, and without any basic investment, you threw more than 2 mouths to the management committee. Add more than 1 copies, I am already very kind if I don’t sell unique products!”

Hong Tao was not ambiguous at all, his small eyes glared, and he kicked the ball back with a more stern voice and severe accusations.Don't come here, we strictly follow the regulations. As for good quality and great power, that's the conscience of entrepreneurs, and we can't deceive customers with inferior products!

"What about high-grade alcohol? Selling bootleg alcohol must violate the alliance's regulations!" Randy has no way to fight back. Goods that come out for sale, whether through public or secret channels, won't take long to be discovered.

"Forming a party for personal gain is also a violation of the alliance's regulations. Why don't we take the blame and resign together? The rules are the same, and the implementation standards must also be the same. You can't just allow state officials to set fires and not let people light lamps!"

It's a pity that he met Hong Tao. He used to be justified. He said that the alliance was invincible, and it was easy to transfer whether he violated the rules to the non-uniform law enforcement standards. It was still justified.

"...First half of the promotion, and the rest will be provided in the spring!" Randy can see it, and if he goes on, he will definitely attack the various shortcomings of the alliance's high-level. This thing must be realistic, and his ass is not clean. take a step.

"It is very difficult for the southeast and southwest alliances to merge with us like the Redeemer. Since ancient times, the living habits of the north and the south have been very different. Let them abandon their hometown and move to the north of the Huaihe River. One can imagine the resistance they encountered. .”

If you give half, you will give half. This electricity was not in the plan, and Randy took the initiative to deliver it to the door. Don't want it for nothing.But Hong Tao was very pessimistic about the merger.

If it weren't for being forced to make it hard to live, people on both sides of the north and the south would be extremely unwilling to change their lives in another region.The concept of hometown is integrated in the bones of the Chinese people. It is difficult to leave the homeland. This alone can bring the negotiation to a desperate situation.

"Do we have to move to the north of the Huaihe River as a whole? Can we send our officials to manage it like Xi'an and Changchun bases." No matter how much Randy knows about this land, he can't feel the persistence in his bones, but Hong Tao said so Seriously did not refute, but proposed another way of thinking.

"Absolutely not! The situation of the Xi'an and Changchun bases is completely different. They merged relatively early, and the management has not had time to accumulate much prestige and recognition. These two bases are within a thousand kilometers from here and can be covered by the Air Force. .

The Southeast and Southwest Leagues were established around the same time as the Renaissance League. After nearly ten years of running-in, they have formed a strong prestige in the local area, and they will not be easily replaced directly.

The two cities of Changsha and Chengdu are more than [-] kilometers away from us. The air force cannot reach them, and the army is slow to mobilize.

You think you already know Chinese people very well, but in fact, you are still far behind.There aren't many pure Southerners in the East Asian League, and you don't get a chance to appreciate the difference.

I can roughly summarize that northerners have a straight personality, they like to make drastic changes and pay less attention to details, and their thinking tends to be more conservative.Due to historical reasons, many northern provinces are populated by immigrants. Except for a few areas, the concept of ethnic groups is relatively light.

Southerners have just the opposite personality. They are thoughtful, attentive to details, courageous to pioneer, and attach great importance to the relationship between ethnic groups in their hometown.If there were half southerners in council and government, you'd feel like you've been on holiday for a few years.

If the local management is dominated by our people, it will inevitably cause resistance from the local people due to different thinking patterns and working habits, and problems will definitely arise after a long time.

If it is dominated by local people, this problem also exists. They will crowd out our people, resulting in the inability to implement government orders smoothly, and soon form a state where there are policies and countermeasures.

After spending so much effort, it is still not possible to completely unify the government orders, so it is better not to merge, and the three parties directly cooperate on an equal footing.There is only one way to break this embarrassing situation, to dig the root!Just like dealing with immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces, let them leave their homeland and then break up and live together. "

But don't let Hong Tao relentlessly reject this idea. The reasons are more complicated, including geographical, personality and cultural aspects.At the same time, a solution is also given, which is very simple, continue to implement the immigration policy of Xinjiang Province.

"But in that case, all the construction investment of the two of them for so many years will be wasted. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the infrastructure construction in Changsha and Chengdu is still very good. There are many military factories and abundant water and electricity. Especially It is agriculture that is extremely developed and exports a large amount of grain to us every year."

Randy doesn't have to build sub-bases, he just wants to reduce the difficulty of negotiations, and by the way, use the infrastructure of the Southeast and Southwest Leagues.Feeding more than 10 people will put a lot of pressure on agriculture. It just so happens that both alliances have ample food production.

"Do you know how many grain producing areas there are in the north of the Huaihe River? The northern part of AH, Henan, and Shandong are all granaries, vegetable, meat, egg and fish bases, and they have fed hundreds of millions of people in the old world. If you have enough money, you can double it and give you 100 million people." , and will not worry about eating and drinking.

I think you, including many alliance executives, have the illusion that resources have been exhausted, and you are always busy looking for new resources, and thinking about how to grab them from others if you can't find them.
