Chapter 20 Get straight to the point
The first fourteen chapters have been revised, and there should be no more revisions in the near future. The revised chapters are followed by the word "change".
Me: "You're struggling with this?!" ”
Sui Qian nodded: "Hmm." ”
I "......, okay, let's get in, it's important to have a meeting." ”
Entering the white building, I saw a circular meeting hall with a dark brown round table in the center, and the light from the ceiling shone softly on the place of the round table. Because I was a little delayed talking to Sui Qian, the other people were already in place, but they hadn't sat down yet. Thomas stretched out his hand and gestured, and my seat was next to his.
I walked up to the position in two steps, nodded with Thomas, and sat down together. After everyone was seated, Thomas was the first to speak.
"First of all, welcome to Mr. Granny and Uncle Chambers to New York again, because we are the old genus of Lord Andrew, so I won't call you an adult, please understand." I nodded slightly. It seems that he is not interested in me at all, and my identity is at least at the same level as Xibatian, which makes me a little unhappy, and I silently gave him a low score in my heart.
Thomas, of course, couldn't see what I was thinking, but Julie could tell what he was thinking. I made a suggestion to Julie in my head to use "mind reading", and I knew that the fairy and my spiritual connection must have never been broken. Sure enough, Julie replied: "You just give up this, it seems that the other party has been prepared, the old woman behind Thomas is a famous spiritual ability, she will definitely protect Thomas, I can only protect you now, so that you will not be read by the other party." "Well, I also expected that the other party would not be stupid enough to leave such a big bug for us.
Communicating through the psychic connection was almost instantaneous, as if what was to be said was being condensed into a short data link and transmitted to the past, so after I spoke with Julie, Thomas was just starting to say the next sentence. "We received news four days ago that the so-called 'advance force' sent by the alliance has arrived on Earth, and the descendant of the East Overlord is you, because the spaceship disintegrated and disappeared, we were also very anxious at that time, but because the landing point was not on our side, so there was really nothing we could do. Fortunately, Uncle Zhang found you in time, three days ago, Uncle Zhang announced in the global village joint network that you have arrived safely and awakened smoothly, and proposed to reorganize the coalition army and resist the alliance by force. "I had to nod and smile at the same time as he was talking this nonsense, which is why I hated this kind of meeting.
Thomas continued: "We support the formation of the Coalition Resistance Alliance, but after all, we are a force directly under Lord Xibatian, so until the heir of Lord Xibatian appears and makes a decision, we will not be able to make substantial help to you, let alone directly participate in the alliance. "Finally got to the point.
I nodded slightly: "I understand your decision, and to be honest with you, it is estimated that your joining the coalition will not help me much." The gap between our military strength and the Alliance is too great, and while we have abilities and have more clear goals, we are stronger in terms of the number of units: if the Alliance is water, then we are ice, but the gap between us is still a small piece of ice and a big glass of water, so it doesn't matter to me whether this ice has a few gaps, you know? As soon as I said these words, Thomas's face changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal.
Thomas: "Mr. Mammoth, since you also know that there is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, why don't you slow down?" And wouldn't it be better to wait for the return of the heir of Lord Xibatian, and then make a discussion? It's all good for us, isn't it? ”
I stared silently into his eyes: "The speed of the alliance's development, I'm sure you know. Waiting any longer will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, and Xibatian has not returned for a long time, don't you have doubts? I straightened up, "I'm a straightforward person, and to be honest with you, what I care about most is not whether the ice chips can freeze with my ice, but whether it will be dissolved by that glass of water." And now it seems that this is very likely to happen. ”
Thomas's face was a little ugly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Giant, are you insinuating that our Lord Xibatian belongs to the wall grass and will surrender to the alliance?" Speak responsibly! ”
The corners of my mouth twitched: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just talking about a possible direction of development." Putting that aside, what do you think will happen to you as a weak but threatening independent third party when our Jihadist Coalition (which is an awkward statement) goes to war with the Alliance forces? If you're just a weak group, it's fine, and at worst, it's just destroyed, but you have a certain number of mutants in your group, which happens to be the experimental material that the alliance dreams of. You say, will the end be more terrible than destruction? ”
When I said the words "experimental materials", Thomas trembled all over, and the expressions of the people led by him became extremely ugly. I didn't go any further, I had said everything that needed to be said, and it was time for them to sort it out themselves.
I looked at Old Man Zhang, who was looking at me with affirmative eyes, and he had told me before he came that the history of these people of country M determined that they only had their own interests in their heads, so I came up with this method to convince them. At this time, Julie's voice sounded in my head: "Boss, you are really powerful, your words are sharp." The old woman's previous mental protection against Thomas has been removed, do you want to read his thoughts? "No need, he's showing his attitude, he shouldn't be on the opposite side of us."
Sure enough, as if after brewing emotions for a while, Thomas spoke, "Mammoth," yo, the suffix has changed. "I have to admit that you are right, we can only be a whole, and if we are separated from the whole, we can only end up in life worse than death. We have just discussed (this discussion is through spiritual connection, of course), that we are willing to join the Jihadist Coalition, but allow us to make a request. ”
I nodded, "Tell me about it." ”
Thomas: "If, during the Holy War, the heir of the Western Deception returns, please allow us to follow his command instead." ”
I touched my chin: "And what if his heir has become a side of the Alliance?" ”
Thomas's face changed, and he seemed to have been changing his ......face today, "If it's really so unfortunate, we can only start from the big picture and change our allegiance to you." ”
I nodded, "Let's hope that doesn't happen." ”
Thomas nodded heavily: "My lord, we are now announcing in the joint network that the six settlements in North America led by New York have officially joined the coalition forces. After speaking, he took the *control board handed by the secretary, quickly drew up the content of the announcement in front of everyone, and after passing it along the table and checking it, the leaders of the six regions scanned their fingerprints and jointly issued the announcement.
After that, we discussed some specific matters, of course, these things are in charge of the old man Zhang is responsible for discussing, after all, he is more familiar with these than me, and I only care about the big issues.
The main issues were quickly settled, and the other details could be resolved entirely online. In fact, I have long wanted to complain, the time on the road from Fucheng to New York is not enough to fight the landlord in three rounds, why do you spend this gas money to fly over...... It's said that resources are limited, is it really good to be extravagant and wasteful for these formal things? When I came in just now, I saw that there were a lot of tables and chairs piled up in the corner of the meeting hall, and there was a thick layer of dust. Is this necessary for such a meeting to be solved in minutes? This style of pure formalism is really similar to the alliance, and it is worthy of being separated from a development line......
Thomas got up and shook my hand, and we all ended this important meeting happily...... Walking out of the building, the dazzling sunlight made me suddenly a little uncomfortable, the light in the conference hall just now was too dim, is it to save energy? Thomas asked politely, "Mammoth, will you go with me to rest first?" Have a light meal together in the evening? "Why do I say he did it out of politeness, because it's only half past nine in the morning! And Fucheng is only about ten minutes away from here, can we really stay here for a meal? I politely refused him: "Don't bother, we're ready to go back, there are still some things to deal with at home." If there's anything we need to discuss, we'll let you know as soon as possible. ”
After a brief farewell, we boarded the shuttle modified for the super-high-yield missile. Although I know that this shuttle is very safe, I still think it is too weird to fly around in this thing!
After taking off, I stretched comfortably, "Lao Zhang," it's a little bad to call him Old Man Zhang when he doesn't pit me, let's call him Lao Zhang, "Thomas, after they made the announcement, how did the three wavering settlements react?" ”
Lao Zhang flipped through the Internet a few times, "Two of them have changed their minds and expressed their willingness to join the coalition." ”
I was a little interested, "Oh? Who are these two wall plants? ”
Old man Zhang smiled: "My lord, you guessed wrong, there is only one wall grass here, this wall grass is the Itali settlement, this is a famous wall grass in history." The other is just a dog from country M, a Tokyo settlement, and the owner changed his mind, so of course he ran away. ”
I touched my chin, "It turns out that it's the two of them, it seems that there is a chance to talk to the leader of Yitali, only from Tokyo," I looked at Old Man Zhang, "Since you have hacked into the internal network of the alliance, then you should know why I was assigned, right?" I'm going to use this settlement as cannon fodder, no comment, right? ”
Old man Zhang and several others smiled when they heard this, Old man Zhang: "Since ancient times, there has been no chance to completely destroy them, and it is always a scourge to keep them." This time there is this opportunity to let them make some contributions, killing two birds with one stone, why not use it, haha. ”
Me: "That's it, but before they become cannon fodder, try not to show their intentions, or you won't be able to get bitten by a dog." Lao Zhang, who is the remaining settlement, with such a tough attitude. ”
Old man Zhang frowned slightly, "The rest is the Berlin settlement, they only respect strength, this was the case before the war of annihilation, and it is still the case now, my lord, you probably need to show your strength." ”
