I took Rose and the three of them to Oecussi, which was a village with trees all around, and I wanted to talk to the locals, but I found that there was no one to be found. After asking the people from our guild who arrived earlier, we found out that Oecussi was an enclave, not connected to the main area of East Timor, and those East Timorese players had all fled to the main area after the defeat.
Since no one is here, I have to teleport over there to find someone. Compared with the second contention, the area of East Timor is really very small, and we can cover almost the whole country with the help of the loudspeakers carried by the fleet, and after shouting for an hour, someone came out.
The East Timorese delegate I met was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his race was the Black Elves, which matched the color of his skin. In any case, I am currently considered an aggressor, although I am now equivalent to a black pot for the Americans, but we are an alliance after all, and according to the agreement before the outbreak of the war, the cities captured during the war are set to be subordinate cities of our guild, and we will not start to divide the territory until the whole battle is completely over.
Because of our embarrassing identity, the other party was very unkind when he saw me. Of course, I can understand this, and we are not polite when we see Japanese people.
"What do you have to say?" The Black Elf asked.
I took off my helmet and handed it to Rose to help me hold it before I spoke, "Hello, my name is Ziri, and I am the president of China's Frost Rose Alliance. ”
"I don't want to know who you are, I have something to say to you invaders, just finish what you have to say."
"Actually, I'm here to apologize." A hint of surprise flashed in the other party's eyes, but he didn't say anything. I continued: "This incident had nothing to do with you in East Timor, but it was caused by the looting of the great ships of our guild by the Indonesians. Our guild decided to reclaim the ship and take revenge on the banditry of the Indonesians, so we joined forces with some Chinese guilds to join the war. ”
"That's your problem with Indonesia. What's the matter with us? "The other party is finally starting to react.
"That's why I'm here to apologize!" I smiled gently, and then continued: "Although China is a very large country, everyone has their own affairs, and not everyone in the whole country will help us with this little thing. Considering that there were so few guild members who could participate, our guild was forced to ask for help abroad. We invited some of the German and American guilds to help us in the war, and the cities they occupied were to be converted into cash and finally divided with them. The people in charge of your area are the players of the American Guilds, and they attacked you in East Timor without consulting us, and I know that you were already occupied by the time of this matter. I guess it's too late to intervene. ”
The other began to think. It seems to be assessing the credibility of what I just said. Rose saw the other party's suspicions and explained to me, "Please believe us, if we really planned to attack you, we wouldn't be here at this time. Think about it. Are there Chinese players among the people who attacked you? Seeing that the other party shook his head, Rose pointed to the sea again: "See?" The surrounding sea is full of our warships if we want to attack you. These ships are supposed to help, but have you been shelled? ”
This time the other shook his head and said, "No." Those battleships did not open the ground to us from beginning to end. I take your word for it. But now that our city has been occupied, is there any point in your apology? ”
"Of course, there is no point in apologizing, but apologizing is only the first step, and if you accept the apology, I have a second step to help me."
"Step 2?" The black elf asked in surprise, "What are you going to do in the second step?" ”
Instead of answering his question, I smiled and asked, "Before I tell me the second step, do you tell me your name and your identity in East Timor?" Also, are you okay with our apology? ”
He immediately smiled and replied, "My name is Allah, the president of the Red Forest Federation. My guild is the largest of only seven guilds in Timor-Leste, with more than 13,000 members at present. I accept your apology on behalf of me and my guilds, but I can't be the master of the other guilds. ”
"You can just accept it." I shook hands with him. "My second plan is actually quite simple. This time, we made a pact with the Americans and Germans that the occupied cities would not necessarily belong to the occupiers, but would be converted into contributions. In the future, we can auction off the city and divide the auction money according to the contribution value. If we participate in the city, we have to pay for it ourselves, and even if we get it, we can only give it to others if we don't get it. ”
"You want us to pay to buy our city back?" I shook my head, and he immediately added, "You want to give it back to us?" I continued to shake my head. So what do you want to do? Allah was in a hurry.
"Now that the city has been occupied, the auction is inevitable. Although these cities are occupied by the Americans, they should in fact belong to the common property of all those who participated in this battle, and even if I am the organizer, I cannot take them out and return them to you without permission. ”
"And what else do you say?" Allah was a little angry.
I don't bother with him, and then talk about mine. "Although I don't have the right to deal with public property, I am eligible to participate in the auction, and we have agreed in advance that if I buy it myself, I only need to pay 95% of the auction price that I actually shout."
"You're going to buy this place?" Allah finally understood what I was going to do.
"Yes. I'm going to buy it here. I paused and said, "But I can't buy it for you for free." ”
Allah started to get angry again. "This is our land, do you want us to pay for our own land after you occupy it?"
"Did I say I want you to buy it?"
"What do you mean?" Allah had been dazzled by my leapfrogging expressions.
"Although this land was originally yours, the problem now is that it is occupied. This occupation is said to have been carried out by our Triple Alliance, but in fact it has nothing to do with us. Even those American guilds don't know about this, attacking you is just a whim decision of those American guilds, except for a few American guilds responsible for attacking this island, the other American guilds don't know anything about it with us. Therefore. What happened to you this time can be considered that you were unlucky and mishap, but it was just an accident. If I give the land to you for nothing after I have bought it, you will lose nothing, and this dispute will be passed on to me. The table apologizes for the Americans because we are a coalition force, although it is not my intention to attack you, but in the final auction, our guild will still get actual benefits, so the black pot is also the black pot, we admit it. But why should we replace these misfortunes for you? Is it simply because this misfortune has benefited us? ”
Seeing that the other party did not speak for a long time, I then made an analogy: "If you are hit by an American on the road, and the money in your hand is blown away by the wind after falling." That American happened to hit you again to help me. And my sword got to some of that money. Are you asking me to compensate you for all the money you have been blown away by the wind? ”
Bingling suddenly spoke: "Morally, we do have a fault, but in essence, we have no obligation to compensate, please understand this." ”
Allah thought about it for a long time before he spoke, "But ...... our city?" ”
"I'll take care of the city, but I can't give it to you for free. And your country is already fully occupied. Your players don't even have a village right now, and I guess if we succeed in defending the system after seven days. It is likely that your statehood will be revoked by the system. A country should have at least one territory and one village, and you have nothing. It is impossible for the system to preserve the status of a state. Since there is no precedent for the destruction of the garden so far, I don't know what will happen in the future, but I reckon that you will all be punished in a different way, and that you will be more miserable than you are now. ”
"And what do you mean ......?"
"You join my guild."
"Huh?"
"If all of you are incorporated into my guild, the punishment will not fall on you in the future, because you are a member of the Chinese guild. When the time comes, the city will be included in our guild, but you will still use it, and there will be no difference from now, you can reduce your losses, and I will not suffer losses.
Do you think that's the way to go? ”
"Merge?" Allah thought for a long time before saying, "It's easy to say. After all, your current identity is a foreign guild, and if you want to fully merge into it, you will betray yourself, do you think we will accept it? ”
Rose should immediately start explaining the benefits of merging with Ala, and Bingling also helps convince Ala, but he keeps opposing and asking questions, and he doesn't plan to merge at all.
Bingbing, who had been unable to interject, suddenly pulled me and whispered: "Brother Ziri, I think it's better not to merge things." ”
"Why?"
"Because the country is too troublesome."
"Trouble?"
"Don't you think it's strange that such a small place in East Timor would go out on its own?"
"It's kind of weird." I nodded: "But according to my opinion, most of the reason is because of their forest resources and ethnic characteristics. ”
Bingbing immediately said, "Since you understand, you should know what I mean." ”
I slapped my head suddenly. "How can I be so confused! Really, got the point wrong! ”
The conversation was just over, and Allah didn't hear me. He came up to me and said, "Merging is an insult to us, it is tantamount to betraying our own country." But we don't want to bear such a heavy loss, and if you can promise to let us control and give us enough rights to move, we can consider merging. ”
I suddenly laughed and shook hands with him and shook his arm, which made him inexplicable.
"Allah, you don't have to be so embarrassed. Actually, I'm here to apologize, and now that you've accepted the apology, I'm relieved. I'm so confused that I let you be traitors, I'm really sorry, since you don't want to, then forget it. "I quickly glanced at the rose.
Rose immediately understood what I meant. She pulled Bingling and walked towards the village. "I'm really sorry to delay you for so long, Brother Allah don't mind, we really didn't mean to. Since you don't want to merge, forget it. ”
"Hey......? That one......? Purple Sun ......? ”
Rose and I almost ran back to the village with Bingling and Bingbing pretending to be stunned, and the Allah tried to catch up, but heard a neat clang, hundreds of spears pointed at him, and he retreated in fright.
I took the roses and they quickly returned to the middle of the village. Rose didn't have time to ask me now, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?" ”
I smiled and pulled Bingbing in front of me. "It was Bingbing who reminded me."
Rose looked at Bingbing in surprise. His eyes were full of inquiring glances. Bingbing sees roses; With such doubts, I repeated what I had just said to me. Who is Rose? As soon as I heard it, I immediately understood. In the beginning, it was my habitual thinking that clouded my judgment. This point will be cleared immediately.
I said, "There must be a reason why such a small country can become independent. Most of the small countries in the world need a buffer zone for wars between major powers, so these micro-states in the gap are born, and they are the middle forces created by the influence of the great powers. For example, Singapore, Switzerland, Madziton. These small countries are all formed by special factors. But in fact, there is another kind of micro-state that is relatively rare, and that is the national independent state. Such small countries tend to be mono-ethnic. Moreover, this nation is generally relatively backward, but it is also extremely xenophobic. When they come into contact with the prosperity of the outside world, they also dream of such an environment.
However, the objective conditions do not allow it, so they take advantage of the antagonism between nations to divide themselves, and then use their delicate position to attract those big powers to use them. They betrayed themselves while holding back the country they belonged to, and they reaped a lot of benefits from it. Timor-Leste is, in fact, a prime example. If we really take in people from such a country and join the guild, it will be equivalent to being bitten by a leech. It will keep asking for help from us, maybe not much at first, but then it will get worse and worse until it drains us up. What a danger this kind of big trouble! ”
Bingling didn't quite understand what I meant. "Then you apologized so actively at the beginning, and you still have to compensate them and merge with them?" Rose snorted and laughed. Bingling asked strangely, "Am I talking funny?" ”
I took the rose in my arms. "It's my wife who knows me best!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Bingling was completely confused.
Rose explained with a smile: "Do you think he is really that good to apologize?" He had his eye on the forests. ”
"Huh?"
Rose looked at Bingling's face full of confusion, and continued: "Don't you understand?" The first reaction of the Americans all the way here was to find great wealth, and they occupied this place just to want it themselves.
When the time comes, they will definitely not be soft on the auction, and this is the place they occupy, and they have priority morally, so this is the right thing in the bag, and the Americans must get it.
And Ziri certainly discovered the value of this place after seeing it, so he temporarily decided to pull the locals into the guild. When the battle is over and we divide the interests, we can offer that this is unplanned land, and then we can buy it in the name of the local residents of East Timor, and then the Americans will not be able to rob us. ”
"You've been making such a big detour for a long time for these woods? I said, "Why are you so positive!" Bingling suddenly said in surprise: "Sister Rose, you have already seen it?" ”
"Haha, what do you think I tried so hard to lobby in the first place?"
"You guys are so horrible! Like the conspirators! Bingling hugged his shoulders and made a cold appearance.
Bingbing said with a smile: "Although Brother Ziri looks like a big demon who likes to engage in conspiracy to the outside, he is a heavenly master to his own people." ”
"It seems that you are like things."
"Hahahaha!" We laughed together.
Bingling first paused and asked, "Since we have given up the emotional card of the locals, what are we going to rely on to fight for the ownership of this city?" ”
"I'm also thinking about it, but even if I can't get the ownership of these cities, at least I can't be bitten by that bloodsucking worm, and the battle between cities is a matter of earning more and earning less, those guys eat people and don't spit out bones, and you still can't talk about it."
Rose said: "Anyway, the task now is to conquer a few more cities to earn merit points, so that you can share more benefits when the time comes." Husband, don't worry, with me, we won't suffer in the final division. ”
I believe that Rose is an expert in this area, and besides, our guild still has a plain beauty.
Since I decided not to use the Native Crowd card, I didn't have to keep it. Quickly leave here, leaving Rose to command the Guild's players in the battles for the various cities, while I appeared with a part of the fleet in tow to the last three cities of Sumatra.
The battle, codenamed Operation Harvesting, broke out at midnight and lasted until dawn the next morning. The Indonesians actually engaged us in a tunnel war in the city, and we finally had to rely on the help of the dragon army to attack along the way.
Those city tunnels are like cobwebs, our players don't know the roads, and they always blow in them, and then the dragon troops arrive. The dragons thrust their mouths into the entrance of the tunnel and sprayed dragon flames, and the flames immediately moved in all directions along the tunnel. As soon as the dragon flame went down, the drainage pipes in many nearby places were spewing fire, and some houses suddenly burst into flames on the bed boards or stoves, and those were all tunnel entrances. As soon as the dragon flame spray ended, countless Indonesians on fire immediately ran out screaming at the various tunnel entrances.
Tunnel warfare We Chinese played rotten many years ago, and there are still people who are not afraid of death and dare to play big axes in front of Luban. After burning these ground rats out of the pit one by one, we began to strangle them, and when they got to the ground, they had no combat power, and they were easily and completely cleaned.
After all the cities on our side were taken, and the Americans and Germans were victorious, it was Monday morning, and all of Indonesia was left with the island of Irion, which was connected to Papua New Guinea. Our fleet helped the players in New Guinea blockade the Indonesians' sea power, but they were still at odds with the Indonesians. After we managed to occupy most of Indonesia, they were still having fun fighting the Indonesians for a few small cities.
On Monday, a lot of people were going to work, and most of our teams left Indonesia. There is no need to worry about the Indonesians counterattacking at all, the number of remaining Indonesians on the main island is too small to attack any city, and most Indonesian players have retreated to Irian Island. There are still five or six days left in the NPC counterattack, we just need to hurry up and Fu Jianjian will be done, and we don't need to worry about other problems at all, anyway, the teleportation array is all open, and the City Guard can support any city at any time.
There is a Bird of Paradise Peninsula in the northwest corner of Irian, which was originally an annex island of Irian Island, but it seems that it will take at least ten days and half a month for the people of New Guinea to fight here, and we can't wait that long. A few men were sent to inform the guild of New Guinea, and we took care of the island ourselves.
On Monday afternoon, Ashford's Iron Cross joined several American guilds in landing on Irian Island, and Indonesia's last large island was destroyed by the two sides. Now the rest of Indonesia's land is just a few nameless islands, and most of these small places are very remote and we can't manage so much for a while.
In the evening, after dark, the presidents of all countries participating in the war finally gathered in Jakarta, and the first stage of the battle can be considered to be over, and it is time to cut the cake, and what this war has brought us depends on whether we can grasp the proportions of this meeting to divide the fruits of victory, and soft war is more dangerous than a war with real guns.
