Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Eight people sat in the conference room of the clubhouse. This time, it was not just Wood. Almost everyone was smoking a cigar. For a while, no one spoke. Finally, Frank said: "Everyone, I think this is a cigar." This is a rare opportunity. If we are willing, we will soon become the largest force in the entire steel industry. Everyone, haven’t we been working hard for this goal? Now it is about to be realized. What are you still hesitating about? "

Everyone still didn't speak. Wood glanced at Frank at this time, and then said solemnly: "You are right, it does look like this, but I don't think things can be seen this way. We must look at it from a different angle. Why do we have such an opportunity in this matter? It's because the archdukes were very dissatisfied with the Mother God Church's practices, so they wanted to use our power to deal with the Mother God Church, but the Mother God Church backed down, so we There is such an opportunity, but everyone, although this is an opportunity, this opportunity actually also comes with huge risks."

Karl nodded and said: "Wood is right. The risk of this matter is really high. The Church of the Mother Goddess has backed down. Those archdukes are now victorious. At the same time, this matter seems to be a good opportunity for us. But I think this matter is also a trap. The Mother Goddess Church has withdrawn. It is even conceivable that they will be very honest for a long time in the future. In this case, if our business alliance can’t wait to take advantage of What do the big guilds think about their status? Will they immediately think that our Merchant Alliance has become the second Mother Goddess Church? By that time, do you think they will still want to form an alliance with us as they are now? In fact, ever since the Church of the Mother Goddess gave in, the thoughts of those great princes in forming an alliance with us have become very weak. If we expand our power at this time, it will definitely arouse their resentment. By that time, we will be equal to If we block the disaster for the Mother Goddess Church, those great princes will soon forget the faults of the Mother Goddess Church and turn against us. They may even form an alliance with the Mother Goddess Church, and then we will really be in trouble."

Wood and Roger both nodded. That's what they meant. Although this matter seemed very tempting, they felt that the risk of this matter was too great. If they did it, they would push themselves to the limit. On the cusp of the storm, and the most important thing is that they really don't seem to have the strength to face the counterattack of those archdukes.

Roger also said at this time: "I also think this matter cannot be done. The strength of the Mother Goddess Church is very strong, at least stronger than our current strength. But when they faced the counterattack of those archdukes, they immediately We chose to give in. If we jump out at this time, those archdukes may target us. Our strength is not as good as the Church of the Mother Goddess, and it will only be more dangerous by then. So at this time, I think we will not only not You should advance, but you should retreat a little."

One of the congressmen immediately said: "Back off a little bit? What do you mean?" Everyone else looked at Roger, wanting to hear what Roger had to say. For them, now is a good opportunity that they never had before. They can definitely make strides forward. In that case, their strength will become stronger. Even if they tell Karl and Wood, the risk of this matter is too great. It's okay for them not to advance. Why should they retreat? ? This made them all confused.

Roger glanced at everyone, and then said: "Everyone, why are we in this situation today? The original cause was Mr. Zhao Hai. It was a new pressurized cabin. Mr. Zhao Hai also designed There are so many weapons, but those weapons are still designed and not manufactured. We are expanding now and our strength is not enough, so why don't we retreat a little? We are slowly transferring our strength to the islands. I don't think so. It’s just that island, but other islands. Although we have always controlled the sea areas of the Steel World, we have not carefully managed those islands. If we slowly transfer our foundation to those French islands , then even if the steel world really starts fighting and is broken, what does it matter? Our foundation is not in the steel world, but on the island. We can stand on the island, watch the steel world fight here, and wait until the time comes. Now, we are here to clean up the mess. Wouldn't that be better? And if we retreat now, we will win the favor of those grand dukes, and they will also think that we are not a threat to them. We do not want to control the entire steel world. In this way, they will not regard us as enemies. This will benefit us more than expansion. So what I mean is that we can announce to the outside world that we will dismantle part of the army, but we will increase business cooperation. We can also increase business cooperation with those princes. We are experts in this area. We can bring them more tax revenue, and they will definitely be happier. And the troops we have disbanded can be transferred Go to those islands, develop those islands, and vigorously develop business with those princes, and we can make more money. If we have money and people, are we afraid that we will not be able to develop those islands? By then we will be able to firmly Firmly control those islands and turn the entire steel world ocean into our world. When the archdukes want to deal with us, we can retreat to the islands. If those archdukes fight with the Mother Goddess Church, we can retreat from the islands. Break out and take down the entire steel world in one fell swoop, so our retreat today is to accumulate strength and wait for the day when he breaks out. Of course, it is also to wait for Mr. Zhao Hai to turn those weapons from the drawings into reality."

Roger said so much in one breath, and everyone in the conference room listened quietly. They felt that what Roger said was really reasonable. Although they now have armies, those armies are all based on different methods. They are scattered everywhere under various names. It can even be said that they still don’t have a foundation that completely belongs to them. Even Haizhou City belongs to Grand Duke Swordfish in name. If one day, they really They fell out with Grand Duke Swordfish. Grand Duke Swordfish completely took back Haizhou City and prevented Haizhou City from becoming a free port. They would only become more passive by then.

But if they take advantage of this opportunity, take a step back, and withdraw their forces from the Iron World to those islands, then the people here in the Steel World will not know, because the entire ocean of the Steel World is In their world, it is really too simple for them to block the news from the Steel World to the ocean. Not only will they retain their own power, but they can also gain the favor of the Grand Dukes, allowing them to stand in an alliance with those Grand Dukes. , still dealing with the Mother Goddess Church together, this will be the most ideal situation.

And as Roger said, the strength they have now is still too weak. Zhao Hai and the others have not completely reduced the new pressurized aircraft, and various weapons have not been completely reduced. Well, in this case, if they expand rashly, they will definitely become the first, which will be very detrimental to their future development.

After thinking of this, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Wood glanced at everyone's faces, and then said: "Let's take a vote. Those who agree with Roger's plan, please raise your hands." After that, he took the lead. raised their hands, Carl and Roger also raised their hands, others also raised their hands, and the vote passed unanimously.

Wood nodded and said: "Okay, as long as everyone agrees, then this matter will be settled. I think this is it. We will issue a statement in the name of the Merchant Alliance. The Merchant Alliance currently has an army of 130 Thousands of people, this time are willing to abolish 300,000 troops and retain only one million troops to safeguard their own interests. At the same time, they are willing to strengthen commercial cooperation with all the princes. In the process of cooperation, the merchant alliance is willing to fully comply with the regulations of each prince. Pay all the taxes in full and see how the princes react."

Everyone nodded. They all knew that the 300,000 troops were not really going to be disbanded, so they were not worried. Wood then said: "We have to explain to the people below why we want to By doing this, we can tell them that we are focusing our development on those islands, but it is best not to tell them too much about Mr. Zhao Hai, especially about new weapons. explain."

Everyone nodded, and Karl said in a deep voice: "Counting the time, Mr. Zhao Hai will almost arrive on the island, right? After he arrives on the island, he will conduct an inspection of the island. As long as he feels there is no problem, Then we will fully support him, and at the same time, everyone must prepare enough manpower. If we want to develop those islands, we will need a lot of manpower."

Roger said: "We must also be prepared in this regard. Developing those islands will not happen in a day or two. If we really transport people to the islands, it is best to transport all his family members there." , so that they will not miss home when the time comes, and this will also help us keep the secret."

Everyone nodded, and Wood then said: "Okay, then this matter is settled. We will issue a statement immediately and make preparations at the same time. I really want to see what kind of reaction those major guilds will have, and what kind of reaction will they have?" With the Mother Goddess Church, what kind of reaction will they have? I always feel that the Mother Goddess Church’s concession this time is out of good intentions. It seems to be directed at us. They may hope that we can take their place, but we But not."

Everyone burst out laughing. They were all decisive people. Since they had already decided, they would do it right away. They had no regrets, so after some discussion, they left the guild hall directly. After leaving the guild hall, the business alliance's voice alliance was also announced to the outside world.

In fact, the princes have been paying attention to the Merchant Alliance recently. They want to see what kind of actions the Merchant Alliance will take. If the Merchant Alliance really messes up, then they will definitely not be polite and will deal with it immediately. , they don’t want the Merchant Alliance to become another Mother Goddess Church.

The reason why they have not taken the initiative to deal with the Merchant Alliance until now is because the Merchant Alliance is still useful. They also want to use the power of the Merchant Alliance to check and balance the Mother Goddess Church. Therefore, they did not take action, but they did not expect that the Merchant Alliance would actually issue a statement. He made such a statement and backed down before they could react.
