However, although the desolate beast they encountered was not particularly powerful, the wounds on Lowe's body were a little scary, giving people the illusion that "if such an injury fell on him, he would probably not be able to survive", so Lowe withstood such a serious injury, and of course became a hero in everyone's eyes.

But to be honest, it doesn't feel good to be a hero at all, and when he speaks, he pulls a wound, and Lowe hisses, and his face becomes pale for a while.

Rogge couldn't help glaring at him when he saw it, and when he came back, he patronized and talked, but he hadn't even re-treated the wound, and hurriedly arranged for personnel to treat him.

Before, because it was in the wild, the treatment method at that time was completely in line with the urgency of the matter, and it was relatively simple, but now that I have returned to the Bizer Canyon, I naturally need to carefully treat the wound. There are many experts in this aspect, but there is no need to worry too much, plus in the last days, wandering outside is like licking a knife, and you will encounter various risks at any time, and there will be no so much fuss if you are injured. After a long illness, almost everyone has learned some treatment skills.

Luo Wei smiled, said hello to Jiang Mu and Zong Zheng, and followed Rogge's arrangement to deal with it.

By the time Lowe finished treating his wounds, Rogge and the others were already waiting in the house.

Seeing Lowe come in, Rogge asked about the meeting this time: "Lowe, is things going well this time?" What do the other settlements think about the coming year? ”

When Jiang Mu heard this, he also set his eyes on Luo Wei.

In the gap just now, he had already learned the general situation of the so-called "annual meeting" from Rogge and Zongzheng. It turned out that this meeting was an alliance meeting jointly sponsored by 27 nearby settlements, and the total population of this alliance reached more than 6 million, which was a relatively large regional alliance on the Great Hung Star in terms of scale.

The conference can be traced back to more than 60 years ago, and it was the product of the various settlements huddling together to keep warm against the backdrop of the chaotic times of the time. The main content of the discussion at the meeting is to predict in advance what may happen in the next few years and make corresponding plans.

The form is somewhat like a summit forum in modern society, where representatives from various settlements expound their own views, and then learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to arrange the best arrangement. But in fact, in addition to formulating a large-scale defensive strategy, it is more of a place where various settlements fight each other for their own interests.

This is a more realistic problem, no matter how close the organization, even if their fundamental purpose is the same, there will still be interests within it that point in different directions, such as how to distribute materials and how to arrange troops, and the members of the alliance will tend to be beneficial to themselves.

The key lies in how to control this kind of "self-interested" thinking within a controllable limit, so as not to deviate from the overall policy of the alliance because of these excessive "self-interest" demands, and even make it difficult to give birth to some measures that should have been implemented and implemented as soon as possible.

Seeing that Rogge asked about the progress of the meeting, Lowe shook his head and said, "It's not smooth, there are some twists and turns in the middle." ”

"What's wrong?" Rogge asked out loud when he heard this.

Lowe recounted the meeting in 1510, and Rogge listened as he listened, his brows furrowed. In essence, Rogge is a cheerful man who likes to go straight, he doesn't like to beat around the bush, and he doesn't like to go around in circles with others when he talks, if he can, he can pull it down, and if he can't do it, he will pull it down, and what he hates the most is that he obviously can't do it, but he still has to pretend to be very embarrassed, giving people a feasible illusion, and waiting for the other party to find a way to work hard, but he told him that this is actually not good, isn't this a pit?

Therefore, Rogge does not like to participate in the so-called alliance meetings, there are too many routines, and his false and inconsistent speeches make him completely uninterested in talking to those representatives! After attending a few times in the first few years, it was Lowe, the deputy chief, who represented the Bizer Canyon in the following years.

Although he had long expected that this meeting would continue to be as in previous years, he obviously underestimated the extent of the twists and turns of this meeting, or the contradictions in the demands of the various settlements in the alliance.

"The biggest problem now is that there are three settlements in the west where representatives have different opinions." Lowe picked out the more contradictory topics and talked about them.

"Wait, those settlements again?" Rogge asked in surprise, "If you remember correctly, it seems that last year's meeting was also the most important for them?" ”

"Yes."

Rogge snorted: "It seems that they are still quite delicate, and they will make all kinds of requests when something happens." But it can't be helped, who calls them too many, the three settlements together account for a million people, catching up with one-sixth of the total population of the alliance. ”

"Tell me, what did they ask for this time?"

Luo Wei nodded and said: "This time they set their sights on military deployment, they feel that the supplies to support in the east are too small, and if they come forward to resist the attack of the desolate beasts, it will cause too many casualties, so they strongly demand that each settlement must send personnel to the west to participate in the war." ”

"Nonsense, where is the surrounding area of the alliance not facing the pressure of desolate beasts now, even if the western settlement is tight, but the eastern part of the country is forced to send personnel to participate in the war, not to mention the long distance, and the middle has to cross the swamp area full of desolate beasts, and take care of one or the other, if the eastern personnel are sent over, what if the eastern part is attacked?"

Rogge didn't expect several settlements in the west to make such a request, so he didn't think much about it and directly expressed his opposition.

Luo Wei nodded: "Yes, I also think so, the strength of each settlement is already limited, and it is already our limit to allocate some personnel to transport supplies, and dispatching back and forth may not only increase the fatigue of the soldiers, but also cause the entire defense line to collapse!" ”

"That's right, if this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Rogge said with a solemn expression.

At present, the main policy of the alliance is that each settlement is responsible for defending itself against the attacks of the desolate beasts around them, and the alliance coordinates in the center to provide necessary military assistance to the settlements located on the periphery of the alliance, so that with a solid perimeter defense, although there will still be desolate beasts in the area inside the alliance, it is much safer than the outside.

The settlement located in the hinterland of the alliance is not only responsible for the desolate beasts around the settlement, but also responsible for maintaining the communication channels within the alliance.

It can be said that both the overall defense of the outside and the maintenance of the internal channel cannot be missed. It is precisely because of such prerequisites that there is a viable basis for interoperability within the Alliance. Once such a foundation is gone, the overall strategy of the alliance will be seriously affected.

"It is really inappropriate for those three settlements in the west to make such a request at this juncture...... Zong Zheng sighed after listening for a long time, and also expressed his disapproval of the proposal of several settlements in the west.

Luo Wei nodded towards Zongzheng and said, "However, the representatives of the three western settlements insist that they are closer to Noah's settlement, and the risks they face are greater, and the eyes of Noah's settlement are still on the north at the moment, in case the megalodon beasts entrenched in Noah's settlement move towards them one day, they will not be able to resist at all." ”

After hearing this, the corners of Rogge's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "If the megalodon beast really moves, even if it sends soldiers over, it will be useless!" ”

"Alas, yes!" Luo Wei also nodded in agreement: "But fortunately, the wild beast over there has not moved, and it seems that it is a little afraid of continuing to move eastward." ”

"Therefore, several settlements in the west are clearly asking for soldiers, but in fact, what they really want is resources! Sitting on the ground and making a counteroffer, it's time to make a bargain, and they are still making their own wishful thinking! ”

Rogge slammed his fist on the wooden table, looking pale.

The performance of those settlements really annoyed him.

After being angry, Rogge took a breath and asked, "So what is the final result?" ”

Lowe's face was a little unpleasant: "In the end, in order to stabilize the three western settlements, the eastern part promised to increase support for them in the coming year. ”

Rogge frowned: "So in the end, they still succeeded?" ”

"Yes! Several other settlements believe that maintaining unity within the alliance is the most important thing! ”

Rogge was so angry that he wanted to smash the table again.

This is the legendary "self-respect by the foreign", no, it should be "self-respect", Jiang Mu listened on the side, but his heart was clear. At the same time, I realized that this alliance of 27 settlements did not have the unity I imagined.

How can a human alliance that is not united have the last laugh in this battle for survival?

Jiang Mu drew inferences from others and compared this situation to the earth. If the same thing happens to the earth, will those countries on the earth abandon the previous entanglements and cooperate sincerely? Or is it that moral cooperation is maintained on the surface, but behind the scenes it is still filthy?

After thinking about it, he shook his head. The result of a period of thinking is that if I don't intervene, I'm afraid that the final result will really be a plate of scattered sand, and it will be difficult to form a joint force.

But since he intervened, he must not allow this to happen.
