Chapter 587: Herschel
There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests.
When a conflict of interest occurs, it's not surprising that friends who are working together one second may be competing the next.
Fortunately, this is just an unpleasantness between Webster and Jakarta, and with Webster as a buffer, there is still a lot of room for maneuver between Fat Li and Jakarta.
The two of them are still polite on the surface, but the secret operation has already begun.
The two small teams that Webster had drawn together before, after Li Fatzi killed Victor and won the position of alliance leader, they were even more convinced by Li Fatzi's team. If Webster hadn't stopped them, they would have wanted to move over the other day.
With their support, plus Yin Diya's vote, Li Fatzi has already received at least four votes.
But the strength of the Jakarta team should not be underestimated, after all, they are the old team in the refinery, and now they are in charge of the most important resources, and presumably some teams will be co-opted by him.
In order to get more than half of the votes and successfully pass this proposal, Li Fatzi must now pull some neutral teams into his camp.
This matter was mainly the responsibility of Webster.
For Weber, Li Fatzi is of course one hundred and twenty rest assured. However, Li Fatzi didn't want to be idle all the time, so he took the initiative to convince Herschel's team.
Li Fatzi did not beat around the bush, and after explaining the pros and cons clearly, he bluntly said that he wanted Herschel's vote.
Seeing that Li Fat Man was sincere, Hershel didn't play falsely, didn't say a word, and directly began to think.
In fact, if Hershel didn't want to get involved and offend one of Li Fatzi and Jakarta, he could have prevaricated the matter on the grounds that he couldn't make decisions for the entire team.
However, in the past two weeks, Hershel not only saw what kind of person Li Fatzi was through his own eyes, but also felt the atmosphere of Li Fatzi's entire team with his heart.
Therefore, Hershel did not prevaricate the fat man, but seriously considered the issue of taking sides.
Whether in terms of the interests of the team or the favor of Li Fatzi, Herschel believes that he has no reason to object. After all, his team is only 10 people, and he doesn't have as many gains and losses as Jakarta.
Everyone lives together, and that's more like an alliance.
In addition, each team will have their own area and do not have to live in the same building, which also makes Herschel have a lot less worry and hesitation.
After a long silence, Hershel finally spoke: "Li, I must tell you that your speech was very inspiring. F's ten wills, even for an old man like me, who was about to die, relived the excitement of the year. I've told you a lot of World War II stories, haven't I? ”
Li Fatzi nodded and replied, "That's right, the bombing of London, the Battle of Diep, and"
These days, Li Fatzi has not heard much about the deeds of this old hero.
"At that time, our country was experiencing one of the most tragic wars in human history. And I was only a teenager at the time, and I didn't hesitate to join the army just because the country needed you. ”
Recalling those vague memory fragments, the old man was a little excited, and he gasped for a while from time to time before he could continue.
"At that time, it was only because I believed and believed that my country needed me, so I could abandon my family, go to the front line to throw my head, spill my blood, and fight for my motherland!"
On the day of the National Day, hearing the self-description of a World War II veteran, Li Fatzi couldn't help but be a little excited.
After the old man gasped for a few moments, he gradually regained his composure: "Now I am over eighty, and I am almost too old to remember how old I have lived. ”
As he spoke, the old man looked at the fat man on the side.
"Now, the country doesn't need me anymore, but my family needs me. As long as it's for them, I can do anything. ”
With that, Hershel stood up and picked up the medicine box.
"Now, I believe in you, the will of F. Lai, don't let me down. ”
Looking at the back of the old man gradually leaving, Li Fatzi muttered, "I won't." ”
**************
At lunchtime, Yin Diya did not come back.
Now that the refinery is much safer than before, Li Fatzi is not particularly worried. During this time, in addition to cleaning up zombies, Webster and Jakarta also represented the alliance and made contact with the three teams that had always refused to participate in the alliance.
Webster and Jakarta, one red-faced and the other white-faced, finally reached a peaceful settlement under the strategy of carrots and sticks.
Two of the teams left the Demon Refinery after getting enough gas.
Even if they are a little reluctant, they may not even see the sun tomorrow if they stay. And they didn't want to be controlled by others and participate in any alliance, so they finally chose to leave.
According to what F promised them before, it was not difficult for these two teams.
Another team chose to join the Alliance, but the treatment was very different from the other fourteen teams.
Even if Yin Diya is just a bare-bones commander, who calls someone the patriarch who created the alliance? Although there are more than a dozen people in this team, it is impossible to become the fifteenth team of the alliance.
This is not what Li Fatzi or Jakarta meant, but the unanimous opinion of the 14 teams that met and discussed.
Jakarta was already dissatisfied because of the "uneven distribution of spoils", but now it directly took the opportunity to annex this team, and its strength has increased a lot.
This team is a lamb to the slaughter because of the wrong decision at the beginning, and there is nothing to say about it. For the sake of the unity and stability of the alliance, Li Fatzi also went to Jakarta.
After dealing with these three teams, the Demon Refinery officially belongs to the territory of the F Society.
Nowadays, except for some very remote places that have not been touched, the other areas of the main activities of the plant have been ensured. After all, the scale of the Demon Refinery was too large, and it would be unrealistic to achieve complete control in a short period of time.
However, compared to when Li Fatzi and the others first arrived, the refinery is now very safe. So even if Yin Diya didn't come back for dinner, Li Fatzi was not worried.
What made Li Fat a little concerned was that Coness didn't know where to go.
It is estimated that it was the conversation with herself in the morning that reminded her of some bad memories, and she hid somewhere and stayed alone.
Not long after noon, Webster and Inoue returned.
They brought back good news: two more teams have decided to support the proposal.
The previous four votes, plus one vote from Herschel's team, plus these two votes, Li Fatzi and they already have half of the votes.
Coupled with the right to decide on the equal vote of Li Fatzi's alliance leader, this is foolproof.
The so-called tie vote decision is set based on the possible result of a tie vote. That is, in the event of a tie, the alliance leader, that is, Li Fatzi, will have the right to decide.
In addition, with Webster's full effort, the alliance leader also has a veto power.
The right of veto, that is, when the leader of the alliance believes that a proposal will be detrimental to the interests of the alliance, he can veto it with one vote.
In exchange, in order to limit the excessive power of the alliance leader, the last meeting also determined a special mechanism for the impeachment of the majority of the party.
Impeachment by a majority means that when more than half of the teams are dissatisfied with the current leader, impeachment and removal can be carried out.
Of course, these special mechanisms are just to prevent problems before they happen, and now that everyone's food and clothing problem has not been solved, Li Fatzi has no heart to think about these rules and regulations.
In short, leave everything to Webster.
In the afternoon, the staff was neat, and Cones happened to be absent, and Li Fatzi and the others had an internal meeting.
Now that the alliance has been formed and is on track, everything is going according to plan, and the first step is a success.
However, there are many things that need their attention, and the purpose of this meeting is to discuss the hidden dangers.
The first is zombies, which is an eternal topic in the end times.
There are still many areas in the refinery that have not been cleaned up, and building an absolutely safe home is a top priority for some time to come.
The task of cleaning up the zombies has always been the responsibility of Webster and Arthas, and Webster is now busy and eager to split himself in half, and he will be specially handed over to Arthas in the future.
With Arthas's personality, this task was perfect for him. Besides, after all this time, everyone has already known Alsace, and there is nothing to worry about.
The second is the issue of community planning, since you want to gather everyone to live together, then the location is a very important thing.
The task fell to Arthur, who was the oldest on the team and relatively more reliable.
The next biggest headache is the Jakarta team and the original Victor team.
Both teams are much larger than Li Fatzi's team, and even if Li Fatzi has an advantage in weapons, this will not make up for the difference in numbers. Whether it is the Jakarta team that looks like a good person, or the original Victor team that has always kept their distance, they are not so easy to deal with.
How to manage the relationship with these two teams is up to Webster.
Needless to say, the Jakarta team will have the most headache when this proposal is passed.
The original Victor team should now be renamed the Galdino team.
Galdino is the dreadlocked black man who stood up that day in support of Lai.
As a black man, it is impossible to accept a team that is mostly Scottish.
But Galdino did.
Li Fatzi thinks that this Galdino will only be more difficult than Victor, and it turns out that it is. Webster visited their camp several times, but all of them ended up being closed, and they still have very limited information about the team.
Even when it was a joint operation to clean up the zombies, the members of Galdino's team were silent, and they didn't have a word to say except for work.
