Section 356 Deceit
Of the two requirements, it is obvious that the first is difficult and the latter is simple.
As everyone on the earth knows, any institutional reform will inevitably touch the interests of a group of people and be resisted. Not to mention the influence of external forces, even the changes carried out by people of insight for reasons of necessity must face many resistances. On the contrary, appointing an official or something is a very simple matter - and the official can be dismissed naturally if he can be appointed, and he can be reversed at any time, and it does not have any major impact.
Not to mention a frontier place like the Banshee Gate.
Of course, although the master didn't say it, Lu Wu also knew that this was just a stopgap measure. He didn't really stay in this world anymore, he could only say that he used this name to dispatch Huiyue's resources and help settle the dependents of Kaicha Goat, that is, those destroyers.
But, contrary to what was expected, the old woman's final answer was to accept the first, but not to be able to do the second.
The reason is simple, because the control of the Banshee Gate is not in the hands of Hui Yue. What they have is only a small amount of border strips.
Previously, Huiyue's side was first beaten by Kaicha Goyat by taking the opportunity of the disintegration of time and space, and hit him with a complete dull stick. The Doge himself was assassinated, all the floating fortresses were knocked down, and a considerable part of the forces were annihilated. In the end, the Huiyue camp could only rely on the border area to form a defense line that could not be said to be very stable.
But then they became bystanders, sipping soda from melon seeds, watching the excitement of Kecha Goyat and the Stygian camp there. The losses on their side were indeed not small, but in the final analysis, it was just a local army in the border area that was defeated. And the price paid by the Stygian Moon is more than a little bit.
So the current situation is obvious, the entire Banshee Gate region, the vast majority of the territory is in the hands of the Kecha Goat and the Stygian Moon camp. It should be noted that although the army of the Stygian Moon suffered a series of defeats and suffered heavy losses in both personnel and equipment, it still had enough ability to occupy a large enough position to fight a defensive battle.
There is no way for the Huiyue faction to appoint a governor in such a place. Even if it was an appointment, it was a joke. A governor who doesn't have his own territory?
Of course, you can also understand it as a counterattack after the Huiyue high-level received the content of the agreement (this is the expert's explanation). Although the old woman was still here, the contents of the agreement had already been transmitted to the rear through communication for the first time. So at this time, the high-level people of Huiyue should already know about it. After all, something like institutional reform cannot be achieved overnight, and it will inevitably require discussion, research and analysis, and perhaps some undercurrents on and off the stage before a conclusion can be reached (not to put it into practice, but to make a conclusion). And the appointment of officials is immediate. Others see that your request is so excessive, and they simply refuse to agree to this simple request easily.
In short, everything is not so simple. It is good that the old woman is a negotiator, but at the end of the day, she is only a negotiator. She needs to use her influence to complete further work after she goes back before she can have the following. It's not that if she agreed, everything would be logical and there would be no problems.
Just like on the planet, don't look at the plenipotentiaries signing to sign the agreement, but in fact, before signing, they have to communicate what is negotiated to the rear, and only after the top level agrees, the representative is qualified to sign. On the surface, a plenipotentiary is signed, and the signature represents the will of a country or a force. But in the final analysis, the so-called plenipotentiary is actually a marionette and does not have the ability to make independent decisions.
"Is this appointment unattainable?" the master seemed to be very concerned about this question.
"Not really. The old woman didn't seem to be hiding it. "Now I can force it with my identity, but ...... While it is not appropriate to say so, an appointment is only an appointment. This means that there is no way to get any help from the upper echelons of Huiyue. And, as long as the last line of defense on this side is lost...... The position of the governor will naturally disappear. ”
"Does this mean that there is no way to rely on the army on Huiyue's side?" Or at least he pretended not to be expectant, slightly surprised.
"I'm sorry, although I am an archon, the authority of the seat I hold does not include military command and control, and the help I can give in terms of personnel and materials is very limited. The old woman said.
"Is the condition too harsh?" Lu Wu asked the master in the spirit link.
"Obviously, a lot of people are not interested in this kind of request. The master replied. "Partner, as I expected...... There are really not many sensible people like this old woman. ”
Although Lu Wu said that he never felt that he was a soldier, he also spent a lot of time in this world. So he knew very well that on the whole, Huiyue's power on the Banshee Gate's side was not strong. It may have been planned that because of the surprise attack, they planned to delay the time and wait for reinforcements from the rear (this is a natural choice, and it can even be said that the only option in this case), but before the reinforcements from the rear arrived, Kechagoyat and the Stygian Moon started to pinch it. And from a young age, the more you pinch, the bigger it gets. At first, Hui Yue was afraid that this was a trap, but later the idiot also understood that this could not be a trap. So the original reinforcements stopped. Letting Kecha Goat and Stygian Moon fight each other is something that the Huiyue camp is very happy to see, so the frontline troops can't be too strong, so as not to affect the current good situation.
So while on the surface, the frontline forces on the Huiyue faction seem to have taken the initiative and are capable of launching a series of tentative operations (although most of them ended in failure), while Kecha Goyat can only defend passively. But at the end of the day, it was based on the fact that Kecha Goyat and the Stygian Moon were in full swing and had no time to worry about anything else. If both sides have their hands free, then either side can crush the Huiyue forces on the Banshee's Gate side - perhaps due to some external conditions, but at least in terms of the balance of power on paper.
But if you want to take the Banshee's Gate for a short time, drive out the forces of the Stygian Moon from here, or annihilate them - even Kecha Goatt can't do that. In the master's plan, it should be calculated that Huiyue's strength is so sure.
What does this mean...... If it's forcibly appointed, then I can only rely on my own power to regain control of the Banshee Gate, otherwise I can't do it, right?"
"That's all I can say. The old woman said. "The appointment of the Governor...... In a sense, it's very simple, maybe it's just a whim of high-level people. That's the case with sand. But if you really compare it, it's very difficult. Moreover, the problem is not only in the military aspect. Although this is a bit excessive, but in the hands of His Excellency Lu Wu, there should be no personnel and materials that can maintain the rule, right?"
Belch...... It seems to be true. It's okay on the other side of Gasha City, after all, there is a large mine, and there is basically a basic structure of social groups that are ready-made. In addition, the time was short, and all kinds of contradictions were temporarily ignored because of the centripetal force of unity generated by the previous difficulties. So you don't need to spend any special energy, you can manage it by relying on the elders of the tribe. But if it's a region......
Based on Lu Wu's understanding, there must be such a large number of officials, all kinds of complex bureaucratic and military systems. It's good to have ready-made ones, just parachute over, start everything to follow, familiarize yourself with the situation, and then tinker according to your own ideas...... However, this is clearly not the case with Banshee Gate. The destruction of a dozen floating fortresses destroyed not only its military power, but also its bureaucracy.
As everyone knows, once there is a war, the middle and senior management will always try to hide in the safest place. But I didn't know that this time the safest place became the most dangerous place.
I want to re-establish the entire political system...... It must be difficult, right? Especially if you can't get support from the upper echelons of the Hui Yue faction. No, it's not just that you can't get support. Judging from the master's explanation and the old woman's attitude, it is estimated that people will try to delay it and make it impossible to avoid the implementation of this agreement.
Establish a government with bare hands...... Uh, basically that's completely impossible, right?
"Governors, on the other hand, usually do not enjoy any other benefits than a certain amount of military allowance because of the border zone. If you want to become the ruler of this region, you must have the ability to organize the human and material resources of the entire Banshee Gate...... No, the problem at the moment is not in this area, but in the fact that, if appointed, then there is a possibility that the regular army in this area will be withdrawn in its entirety. The same goes for all related supplies. The governor is in charge of everything. ”
It's really a very thorough draw. Lu Wu now felt that this matter was completely unfeasible. The old woman's posture should be to persuade him to give up.
"Partner, what do you think?" the master asked through the spirit link.
"Well, it's going to be hard. Lu Wu said. Although the old woman analyzed everything from the most objective point of view, he was not depressed and despaired. This is not because he has any hole cards, it can only be said that he personally has the talent to face difficulties and have the courage to challenge. Of course, this talent can also be understood as fearlessness of the ignorant, or recklessness. "But maybe give it a try. ”
Through Ivan's side, a small part of the problem should be solved. Other aspects...... Lu Wu doesn't have any hole cards. After all, he is a traverser, and he got his current status entirely by accident, with no connections and resources available.
"That's right, partner, this is a test, and it's not something that can be dodged!" said the master. "They were suspicious of our relationship. I guess some signs were found with magic. But there were only a few signs, and it was impossible to speculate more, so it was simply a test. ”
"What kind of test?" Lu Wuyi couldn't figure out.
"Now our relationship, as far as it looks like on the outside, should be that I appreciate you more, or you have done me a big favor, so I want to repay it and take this opportunity to give you a little benefit. The master said. "But this kind of friendship is not worth my full help. This means that if I do my best to help you, our relationship will certainly not be that simple. Ah," he sighed again. "Warlocks are like that, both Radiant Moon and Stygian Moon are equally greedy and selfish, they will try to use all means to do it, and it is absolutely impossible not to be vigilant in advance. ”
"But...... What should I do? Give up?" Lu Wu asked.
"Can't give up. Warlocks' power is very strange, and they may perceive more from it...... And the families that the child left behind...... They were born in this world and are part of it. I can't think of any way to place them other than to give them a safe place at the Banshee's Gate. Ay...... Partners, the two camps of Huiyue and Hadesyue are still too strong. You have to be a governor to ensure that, or they'll be degraded......"
Although the master said so, Lu Wu didn't think that those destroyers born from battle would have any miserable realm.
"Then let me think about it. Lu Wu finally chose this answer.
"Before you go back to the city of Gashe, think about it slowly. The old woman smiled, and her harmless chin agreed.
