181: To each his own opinion

Seeing that the situation in the conference room was about to spiral out of control, John interrupted the conversation and attracted everyone's attention with two coughs.

When everyone turned their eyes to Archduke John, he nodded slightly and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, let Mr. AndrΓ© finish his words, and it will not be too late for everyone to discuss it." Turning his head to look at Andre, he smiled slightly: "Honorable Mr. Andrei, may I ask what you mean by taking the initiative?" You don't want us to be the first to launch a sneak attack on the fleet on the open sea! ”

Although this sentence was said in a puzzled tone, Archduke John continued without letting Andre answer: "Presumably Mr. Andre is very clear about our strength, although the battle is about a surprise victory, but with our current strength, we want to launch a sneak attack without understanding the details of the other party... (Pondering for a moment) That's definitely the act of touching an egg against a stone, all say that knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles, and we now don't even know where people come from and their real strength and want to sneak attack others, that's not self-defeating. ”

Stared at Andre with the target of scrutiny for a moment, and then laughed out loud and said: "With Mr. Andre's vision and wisdom, he will definitely not make such a stupid move. (Seeing Andre nodding in acquiescence, Archduke John continued) and asked Mr. Andre for more advice. ”

Andrei was expressionless and silent... He is not a cautious person, but the clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention Andre, a giant who has been in the top position for a long time, he will naturally have opinions on the previous performance of other people here, very big, very deep opinions------ people are ready to tear their faces with him and do it directly, can he have no opinions, no defense? He's not stupid.

But the current situation and situation are not a good thing for him, silence is indeed a beautiful quality, but it is definitely not the same as his current situation, if he is not willing to step down by the steps handed by Archduke John, then he is really ready to tear his face with everyone here, that kind of situation is definitely not what he wants to see.

What's more, he Andrei climbed step by step from the bottom of the slum to his current position, what kind of crying did he not suffer along the way? What kind of sin has you suffered? What kind of humiliation has not been endured?

Although he never had the same feelings and experiences as before after completing his studies, and he didn't want to go back to the old way to endure the pain and torture that ordinary people couldn't bear, but now it's just some verbal offense, and it doesn't cause him any substantial harm, right? Especially for his own sake, for his own secrets, for his future, it was not that he could not accept a moment of patience.

Andre understood the injustice of fate and the cruelty of life as early as his childhood, if it weren't for his naturally strong heart and the will to be tempered by hardships, he might have returned to dust and dust when he was young---- or the grass on the grave didn't know how tall it had grown, where would he have his current status and achievements!

When he was very young, he saw a translated Oriental saying in a broken book: The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones, and work hard for their hearts...

It is precisely because of the encouragement of this sentence that Andre was able to endure all kinds of hardships and stand out from it.

Almost instantly, Andrei figured this out, and said quietly, as if nothing had happened before: "Then you're welcome, I took the initiative as I said before... (Eagle-eyed wolf glances around everyone in the room, and then continues) I don't mean to attack fleets on the open sea, let alone provoke war. ”

Shen Yin looked at the people around him for a moment and said, "Didn't the people outside send a message saying that they wanted to make a deal with us?" So why do we have to let them come to our turf to do business? Why can't we just take the initiative to send people to contact them? What's wrong with even boarding a fleet on the open sea and negotiating with them? ”

Andrei's words are very simple and easy to understand, and all the people present here are old foxes who have been trained and used to seeing big scenes, so they naturally understood Andrei's intentions as soon as they heard it.

One of them muttered in a low voice: "The person who crossed the ocean with a huge fleet is certainly not a fool, can people not see the intention in this?" How could it be so simple to promise us. ”

Andrei said quietly: "Why can't people agree? Who dictates this? Could it be that it is written in a book? Without waiting for others to refute, he continued: "Besides, what if they don't agree?" Is there anything to lose for us? Not at all! ”

Belch! There seems to be some truth to this! How can you know if it works without trying?

And it's really the same as Andrei said, even if the fleet on the open sea doesn't agree to their request, or even doesn't let them get close to the fleet at all, then they don't have any losses, right?

In that case, why can't they try it?

In other words, even if the other party does not agree to their request, they can use this incident to delay time to complete the corresponding force mobilization and preparation!

Even, they can go one step further, and use this matter to constantly entangle, discuss, and even negotiate with each other... This can not only delay time, but also take the opportunity to test the details of the other party, and even find an opportunity to touch the bottom of this fleet---- so many benefits, why not do it? Why do you have to refuse! Isn't it stupid?

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Andre understood that these people had approved his proposal, and he expressed shame and even some contempt for these people in his heart, but on the surface he said quietly: "If the other party really wants to trade with us, even if there is only a hint of wanting to trade with us, we can also seize this opportunity to reach an agreement with the other party..." Even if you lose money, or even give them the supplies for nothing, as long as you can send them away, it's not unacceptable! ”

When some people said this, they immediately felt suddenly opened, and unconsciously followed a sentence in their mouths: "Yes! This huge fleet is definitely impossible for our nearby territory to have, and even the current Uncle Sam does not have such a large, mighty, high-end, and powerful fleet. From this point of view, this fleet must have come from a distant place, and possibly even from other continents... In this way, the consumption and expenditure of this fleet are definitely not trivial, and what do they want to do when they spend so much money and let the robots from other continents not fight (glanced at Andrei pointedly), but they came to us? Isn't it to take advantage of the current chaos and come over in advance to obtain greater benefits? ”

"In that case, then we will simply give him the benefits, anyway, there are not many supply and baggage transport ships in this fleet, even if the ships are filled to him, how many things can there be, not to mention, they will definitely not know our current situation and state before they come... (deliberately paused for a moment to let others understand what he meant) Therefore, the supply ships in this fleet must have a large amount of supplies to prevent them from finding a place to supply. The more this person speaks, the more confident he becomes, or rather, whether others believe it or not, he himself believes it anyway.

Someone disagreed, and immediately widened his eyes and retorted, "How do you know that the fleet on the open sea is not a force on the side of the robots?" Haven't you heard from the pirates who have come back that the other side's fighting style is mainly robots, winged, fire-breathing robots that can fly around large ships. ”

"Cut~" The person who spoke before immediately followed and said, "Do you know how far the situation outside has developed?" The strength of the robot side on the other continents has been beaten and cannot find the north, so they can still master such a powerful fleet? Just kidding! If they had such a powerful fleet, which they had already used to participate in the defense and even launch a surprise attack on the human side, how could they send so many and such powerful fleets to our side? Isn't that all the ----- when you take off your pants and fart? ”

"Where did you learn all this quip?" The person who retorted was a little unhappy with the tone and attitude of this person's speech, and he continued without waiting for this person to answer: "Couldn't it be the elite forces evacuated from other continents? If someone has such a powerful fleet, does it have to fight to the end with others? Isn't it stupid? Isn't there a saying in the East that you can stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood. Besides, the forces that belong to the robot side on our side are still very strong, not to mention the [chess] headquarters on Uncle Sam's side, which is even more powerful, and even the human alliance does not dare to come over easily, as well as the newly emerging third-party force, why can't people evacuate the elite forces and then join the forces belonging to the robot side on Uncle Sam's side? ”

looked at the other party provocatively and said, "Maybe, maybe they have already contacted the forces of Uncle Sam's robot side, and this time they came to join them." Hey? When this man said this, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "According to the direction of this fleet, if they continue to move forward, they will not be able to reach the headquarters of [Chess], that is, Gotham City." ”

"Huh?" "Huh?" "It seems like it's really possible!"

Several people made puzzled sounds, and then thought about it carefully, as if they really told this person, it was really possible that the fleet on the other side was the elite force of the robot side forces that had retreated from other continents, and they passed by here to defect to [Chess].

The question is, if this fleet really belongs to the robot side, then what about them fighting this fleet to make their own stand? Or do you pretend that you don't know anything, hello, me, everyone, so that you are close to this fleet or something?

Judging from the development situation on other continents, it is obvious that they should fight with this fleet, so as to make their attitude and position clear, and hope that when the large forces of the Human Alliance come over in the future, they will reap some benefits.

The problem is that they are not strong enough to defeat others at all! If you are defeated, defeated, or disabled by others when fighting with this fleet, then you will lose a lot... That really became Zhou Lang's clever plan to settle the world, and he lost his wife and broke his army.

But if you pretend that you don't know anything, what if you wait for the Human Alliance to call and know what they have done, and then settle accounts with them? They can push and pretend they don't know anything, but they are not stupid, can they believe it?

Listening to the discussion and controversy of the crowd, Archduke John frowned and said, "Do you not know what our situation is now? Still thinking about making friends with others, and thinking about what will happen in the future? It's a bit too much! ”

Uh~ It seems to make some sense! Now that the Bodhisattva has crossed the river---- it is difficult to protect himself. How can you take care of the future and the future! It's good not to be destroyed by others now, but still thinking about friendship and thinking about the future? What's going on in your head? Isn't it stupid?

Everyone present immediately came to their senses, and once again focused their attention on how to deal with the fleet on the open sea, how to solve this matter perfectly, and not bring trouble and trouble to themselves.

Andrei took the opportunity to say: "I think so! Regardless of whether the fleet on the open sea belongs to the robot hot man side or belongs to the human alliance, we don't need to worry too much, just as I said before, send someone over to ask them for a deal first, and then see how they respond, during this period, we can not only wait for the opportunity to test their details, but also check whether they belong to robots or humans. At the same time, we can also make full use of this time to complete our own arrangements, such as the mobilization of shore defense equipment and forces, or even send people to quietly bury some mines in the bay. ”

Ruthless, really ruthless. Everyone here understood what Andre meant, this is to grasp both hands and be hard with both hands!

It turns out that Andre's so-called initiative and purpose are not pure! His so-called door-to-door visits, offering deals, taking the initiative to negotiate... It seems that he wants to paralyze the commander of this fleet and delay a little more time for himself. In this way, he can make more preparations, even complete the arming of the coastline, and even set more traps, so as to turn his passivity into initiative. If it is possible, it is even possible to pit this fleet to a big one, and it is even possible to directly pit this formidable fleet to death.

This is definitely not a dream, you must know that the battleship itself is actually very fragile, especially in the face of targeted weapons and equipment----- such as mines. If you really accidentally drive a battleship into a mine array and detonate a large number of mines, even a battleship or a super battleship will not be able to withstand it! It only takes a few minutes to be damaged by a mine, or even to be sunk. The so-called: As long as the mines are well planted, there is no need to worry about whether the battleship will blow up or not run away.

Of course, the premise is that the process of laying mines cannot be discovered... If someone discovers it in advance, or even only needs to find a clue, and there is a lost doubt, then it is also a catastrophe, so why wait for death! Or it can also be said that when making false promises with this fleet and delaying time, engaging in small actions in private is definitely playing with fire and a special act of death. It's okay if someone doesn't find out, but if someone finds out, then it's better to wait for someone else's crazy revenge.

Is it really worth it? Isn't it worth it? This is a difficult problem, and it must be considered, considered, and then carefully considered.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through someone's mind: "Andre, this guy doesn't want to dig a hole for us!" If, just if, just if, when we were laying mines everywhere and sending troops, he secretly colluded with this fleet and secretly communicated with each other, and reported the news... Then it's really going to be over, it's completely finished. ”

With such a thought in his heart, this person couldn't help but secretly start a large number of Andre, wanting to see a little clue from Andre's face, or a game.

However, how could Andrei's city government put its thoughts on its face? Even if Andrei really thinks so in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for others to see it easily.

Moreover, this kind of thing must not be said on the surface, at least not in front of Andre. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a deliberate reminder to Andrei? If Andre didn't have such a plan, but in the end, because he broke the matter, Andre changed his mind and finally made the same choice... Isn't that completely sad? At that point, he will really become a sinner for the ages.

Thinking of this, the man spoke: "I think Mr. Andrei's proposal is very good, very good, but I think it is better to first send competent men to contact the fleet on the open sea, and see what they want?" Do you really want to trade with us, do you really want to work with us? If people really want to trade with us, I think it's better to put the rest of the preparations on hold for the time being. ”

"What if the other party is not ready to trade with us?"

"Not ready to trade with us? Then it's not too late for us to continue the preparations for the future! ”

"Hell it's not too late, it's too late at that time, it's completely late, if we can't prepare in advance, when people really attack, we won't be turned into fish on the chopping board and slaughtered?"

The person who spoke before frowned slightly, and secretly cursed this person in his heart... But he couldn't and didn't dare to make his words clear, so he directly said: "I don't like to hear what you say, when did we become fish on the display board, and when did we let others slaughter again?" Is our strength so unbearable in your heart? ”

"This..." The person who spoke in the back was a little speechless, although he did feel that his side was weak, weak, and weak, but he couldn't say that. If you really say that, then it will be a matter of looking down on yourself and everything here, and it will basically be equivalent to eating inside and out. Even if he doesn't eat inside and out, there are signs of eating inside and out, which makes him think about it with the people here in the future? Who will trust him in the future? Who can still trust him? Who would dare to trust him?

lost the trust of everyone here, and at the same time made everyone here dare not cooperate with him... Isn't that really a suicide story, he's not that stupid.

However, this person's brain is also quite fast, and he quickly reacted and said: "I don't think our strength is really too weak, it's just to prevent and be prepared!" ”

After slowing down a little, this person's brain was running rapidly, and he quickly brought back his words: "To tell you the truth, how is our strength?" Everyone knows very well in their hearts that if we don't prepare in advance and go head-to-head with the fleet on the open sea, I don't think we have any chance of winning. ”

Speaking of this, this man's mind became clearer and clearer, and his words became more and more clear: "The main problem is that we now know what the fleet commander on the open sea thinks; All of us here don't want to conflict with fleets on the open sea, let alone fight with them, but what people think is not certain. If, as you said before, if this fleet is really the elite of the forces that have been evacuated from other continents and belong to the robot side... (deliberately pauses for a moment, glancing at everyone around) Then do you think this elite force is going to Uncle Sam's side to join [Chess]? Or is it better to fight us here and then occupy our territory? ”

Not giving anyone else time to think about it, the man continued: "As long as we launch a surprise attack, as long as we defeat our sea and coastal forces, this fleet will definitely be able to occupy the territory along our coast, even if it is only a part, it is better than defecting to [chess] and sending people to the fence and acting according to the eyes of others!" What's more, I've heard that the current leader of [Chess] doesn't look down on other people at all, otherwise [Chess] wouldn't have been able to divide its strength and cause civil strife before, right? ”

"Yes and no, what else do we say?" Worried that Andrei would take the opportunity to do something, the person who resolutely disagreed with the trap when he came into contact with the fleet immediately jumped out to oppose it, he didn't really disagree with this person's statement, he was just very suspicious of Andrei's proposal, and he didn't want to give Andrei any chance to do something.

In fact, deep down, this person agrees with this point of view, especially what he said at the end, the comparison between going to the [chess] fence and occupying a piece of land here and starting a new business... Even a fool knows that it must be better to occupy a piece of land here and be self-reliant!

The strength of the fleets on the outer seas, as long as they are given a little time, they are likely to occupy all the territory here, and even the surrounding areas... The premise is that this fleet is really an elite force that has been evacuated from other continents and belongs to the robot side.
