Volume 1 Chapter 60 New Era The Final Obstacle
It makes sense that the commander is so eager, and in the next three days, Li Zeben and Zhou Yi, who are followers, arrived one after another, Zhao Deming originally planned to just ask them to help acquire drone warships, but the reality is completely different, they not only have to get warships but also send people and materials to prepare everything necessary for the new fleet, this is a difficult task, as the commander said, time is too urgent.
Simply blowing the wind with the followers can't solve the current problem, before he could postpone the resolution of the contradiction between the followers, and now in this situation he must deal with this contradiction, because the new fleet must be out of people, and there is a shortage of talents in this area of the earth's human beings, you said that it is okay to open a cruiser, and some of them have not even touched the battleship on the upper side, and now Zhao Deming regrets selling the battleship, but the choice is also reasonable under the circumstances, As a result, the current situation is difficult, and when it comes to the root of the earth, the foundation of human beings is too poor.
Quick knife to cut through the mess This is Zhao Deming's way of thinking, and power is the only way to solve the current difficulties.
In the reception room of the high priest, Zhao Deming invited the followers, the high priest and the Mu Fu who was in charge of the internal affairs of the Atlanteans, in addition to making a plan for future cooperation, this meeting was to forcefully merge the current followers with the help of the Atlanteans, and there was a timetable, a timetable that the fleet must be formed before the war.
When he entered the house, Zhao Deming saw Zhou Yi's somewhat cramped and uneasy expression, he could understand Zhou Yi's feelings as a defector, but now was not the time to talk about these feelings, he could only approach Zhou Yi after sitting down, maybe he could help Zhou Yi relieve some uneasiness.
"I would like to borrow the High Priest's place today to ask you to tell us more about the new fleet, and before that, I would like to announce one thing, from today onwards, all followers will be renamed Returnees, including defectors," Zhao Deming said.
"What?" As he spoke, Li Yiben stood up, and after being shocked, he glanced at Zhao Deming a few times, and then cast an inquiring look at the high priest.
The high priest saw that Li Ze wanted her to make a statement, she was actually a little embarrassed, nominally the followers have been completely managed by the earth humans, but the actual situation is that the followers are still obeying the orders of the Atlanteans, they have some selfishness in it, the Atlantean race is a little weak, the followers are a good supplement, before Zhao Deming's approach was only to ask for a nominal return, without any substantive actions, today Zhao Deming's approach is obviously not so simple, it seems that he wants to completely integrate.
"Li Zeben, you wait a minute, I want to hear the specific thoughts of the committee members first" The high priest didn't want to jump to conclusions when he didn't understand Zhao Deming's original intentions, and then motioned for Li Zeben to sit down and wait patiently.
Li Zeben sat down a little stupidly after hearing the high priest's statement, obviously he was not satisfied with the high priest's somewhat vague attitude.
Seeing this, Zhao Deming didn't pay attention to Li Zeben and continued: "This proposal of mine is entirely because the new fleet needs such an environment, and as we all know, the human beings on the earth are not capable of controlling so many warships, so what should I do?" can only rely on you, the followers are definitely the main body, but what kind of state are you in now, factions, divisions, how can I take such a person to the battlefield, if I don't solve this problem now, we don't need enemies to go to the battlefield at all, we will solve everything ourselves, high priest, Li Zeben and Zhou Yi, think about it"
Everyone was thinking about Zhao Deming's words, and they knew the key to it.
Not long after, Li Zeben said: "The contradiction between us cannot be resolved in a few words, or by changing the name, and now in this case, I suggest that we have people first, and if it is not enough, the Atlanteans can make up for it, I don't know how the committee members feel?" ”
Zhao Deming thought about Li Zeben's proposal, this is indeed a very good idea, but he doesn't really want to take this step, he wants to use this opportunity to open the ice between his followers, there is nothing comparable to the relationship between comrades-in-arms, these people who have experienced the test of life and death together will be an opportunity for followers to integrate in the future.
"This offer of yours is great, but I can't agree to it"
"Why?" Li Zeben asked.
"Because I want to break the ice between you, because you are all human, because I want a united race!" Zhao Deming said with a little excitement.
"Old man Li, the meaning of the committee member is very clear, don't you ...... Hum! Although Zhou Yi didn't say what he said later, everyone knew that he was disgusted with Li Zeben and was used to being a slave.
Sure enough, Li Zeben, who heard the meaning of Zhou Yi's words, turned pale, but based on the current occasion, he did not have a seizure, but just snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction, and did not make any other statement.
"Commissioner, I don't understand why you are doing this, in this situation, Li Zeben's proposal is obviously the most appropriate" The high priest was a little puzzled why Zhao Deming was so persistent.
"High Priest, the reason why I have such a move is actually to give them a chance, you also know the situation of our human race very well, if we human beings are not exterminated after the end of this war, I believe that it will not be long before our human race will have a pivotal position in the Star Alliance, and at that time those human beings who have not seen the situation clearly will be spurned, I believe that Zhou Yi can see it clearly, he believes that the rise of human beings is inevitable, and it is a wise choice to follow this trend, for Li Zeben's followers, I admit that we need your help now, but it's not just you, I need help with everything, it's an opportunity for all of us, what's wrong with integrating into the human family, and one more thing I must state is that I will not force any human being to renounce their beliefs, this is their freedom, but I will never want humanity to become slaves"
Zhao Deming's words are still targeted, he looks down on Li Zeben a little, no matter what the reason, being conservative in this extraordinary period is a little pedantic.
"I think I understand what the commissioner means, we Atlanteans are still clear in the face of the great right and wrong, out of trust in the allies, I agree with your idea, but the followers we manage are by no means slaves, they are all free, and please don't comment on it" The high priest is well aware of the future trend, but she still doesn't feel very comfortable with the slave's statement.
"I believe everything you said, High Priest, the term slave is not actually directed at you, it is that I once met a female follower slave in the Star Harbor that never sleeps, and I am very touched by her tragic experience, this kind of tragedy I don't want to see"
Hearing Zhao Deming talk about the reason, the high priest completely understood Zhao Deming's thoughts, it turned out that he was worried about his compatriots, and in combination with Zhao Deming's previous words, the high priest also had to admit a fact, it is the general trend for followers to become returnees, even if she is unwilling to try to stop it now, but in the near future, this trend is unstoppable by her, rather than offending Zhao Deming now, it is better to take advantage of the trend now, thinking of this, she must do some Li Zeben's work.
"Li Zeben, I think you should understand what the committee members mean, the human race will eventually be united, if that day really comes, now any obstruction will become a laughing stock, your people know best, what choice they make is not something you can obstruct" The high priest said.
"But High Priest, there is no problem with the return of our people, but it is really ...... with the defectors" Li Zeben wanted to speak again.
"Isn't this the reason why the commissioner insisted on asking you all to join the fleet, I think he should want to use this opportunity to increase the understanding between you, after all, you can unite everyone well in such an environment."
Seeing the high priest persuading Li Zeben, Zhao Deming suddenly felt that he was a little excessive, or unbearable, after all, this human race was under the protection of the Atlanteans, and later the Atlanteans' selfless assistance to the humans on the earth, these things proved that they were the best allies, and now although he was forced by the situation, it hurt the feelings of the Atlanteans a little, and in this matter, he still had to do something to save his feelings.
"That High Priest" Zhao Deming interjected: "I think as you said, we are allies, I have no intention of forcibly returning to the followers, and not only that, I will also vigorously promote the communication between our earth humans and you, I believe that in the near future, more earth people will understand you and join your faith."
"You?" The high priest looked at Zhao Deming with some confusion.
It was not only Li Zeben who was as confused as her, but even Zhou Yi looked at Zhao Deming with some strange eyes.
"Well, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand" Seeing that everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes, Zhao Deming was also a little embarrassed, and had to continue to explain: "High Priest, have you forgotten the scene when we first met, at that time you were so determined that humanity would rise, and you were willing to become the most solid ally of our human race, you did what you said, in the subsequent series of events, the Atlanteans have embodied the value of their allies, and we humans will not forget, And if we want to maintain this relationship, we must strengthen communication and understanding, and it is obviously not enough to rely on those of us who are high up to maintain it, and people-to-people exchanges are also very important, so I will say that it is normal for people from the earth to join your faith."
Hearing Zhao Deming's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that they were all limited to the situation in front of them, and they didn't think too far, if they were according to Zhao Deming's design after this, it was actually advantageous for the Atlanteans, and the huge population base of the human race was undoubtedly a great temptation.
"But I still have to state that I advocate freedom for faith, but no faith can endanger the safety of the human race, and I think everyone can understand this consequence" Zhao Deming had to remind everyone that this was his bottom line.
After these words, everyone nodded in agreement, especially the high priest, she didn't expect Zhao Deming to be such a very open attitude, if the belief is not well controlled, it is actually easy to cause the division of the race, and it is estimated that Zhao Deming has this kind of courage in the Star Alliance, but this can also show his self-confidence, self-confidence in himself, and in humans.
"We can all understand the Commissioner's concerns, but I see more tolerance and understanding, and if you look at the entire galaxy, humanity can do so, and I don't think you followers have any reason to refuse," the High Priest said, looking at Li Zeben.
"I am very ashamed of the words of the committee members, it is my short-sightedness that blinds me, you can rest assured that I will definitely do a good job of the followers returning to mankind" Li Ze really realized his narrow-mindedness, it was he who was too limited to the small circle of followers, and he was ashamed that after he finished speaking, he bowed his head and remained silent and reviewed his thoughts.
Seeing that the big thing has been decided, Zhao Deming decided to start today's formal topic, there is a saying that it is good to cut off the gold, he wants his followers to reach a consensus is to make the formation of the new fleet more rapid and efficient, Zhou Yi's enthusiasm is the highest, Zhao Deming can understand, the defector has been a motherless child for too long, and it can also be said that the return of the defector is the most logical.
Zhao Deming also focused on arranging tasks according to the specialties of their two races, giving full play to Zhou Yi's business expertise to continue to acquire drone warships in places beyond the reach of the Great Commander, the problem of Star Coins Zhao Deming decided to take out the loan to the coalition government to resist first, Li Zeben is to cooperate with the Great Commander to maintain and repair the incoming battleship, and then it is a personnel problem, they have to prepare the crew of the fleet, and also send a group of reliable people to awaken the power of the sun god, and the hundred-man team needs to be expanded.
