Zhao Wenke first took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and then comprehensively and thoughtfully analyzed the world pattern from ancient times to the present, the division of interests, and then to the situation of the snake clan in the Far East. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From ancient times to the present, the core contradiction of the Yincheng world is the competition for resources, and mastering resources is equivalent to mastering the world.

In order to consolidate their position, the great aristocrats in the west have never stopped seizing resources, creating contradictions, and dividing forces. On the surface, the biggest contradiction in the world of Silver City today is the great nobility of the central part and the growing business consortium and territorial aristocracy.

But in fact, this contradiction has already involved the great nobles of the west. If in the next round of competition, the central aristocracy gradually loses, the central continent will be controlled by commercial consortia and territorial nobles, thus forming a unified interest group.

This incident fundamentally shook the interests of the great nobles in the west, they did not need a complete and unified central continent, they needed a divided central continent with intricate forces and unclear entanglements of interests.

Therefore, supporting the central aristocracy and weakening the strength of the commercial consortium and the nobles of the central continent territory are the main strategic goals of the western aristocracy.

The Reinhardt family, on the other hand, is the most special noble. They won the Temple of Splendor by funding the Psionic Alliance and the Templars, earning the status of the world's great nobles. But in essence, they are still business conglomerates, because their main strength is economic, not combat.

Now the Reinhardt family is like a two-faced man, with one foot in the realm of the great nobles, and the other foot in the realm of the business consortium. On the surface, they seem to be on the right and left, but in fact, they are excluded by both sides.

The pure nobles want to reclaim the land and replace it with more valuable partners, while the pure business conglomerates want to swallow up their interests.

As a result, the Reinhardt family became the target of public criticism.

However, the replacement of the world's great nobles has always been very slow, taking hundreds of years. Because all the great nobles must abide by one basic principle: in terms of core interests, they should be united with the outside world.

Unless, there are traitors among the great nobles......

There are three reasons why Yuge Lombal supported the establishment of the Sun Serpent Cult by Biqing Blue:

First, the long-term exclusion of the Far East from the world's core interests is not conducive to the development of the silver city world. After all, in addition to their own contradictions, human beings also have to guard against invasions from the outside world, such as bee ant swarms and demons, as well as other races from unknown planes.

A Far East, which has been decaying for a long time, is not in the fundamental interests of all mankind, nor is it in the interests of the great nobles of the world. If the human world collapses, what will they rule?

Second, the Seven Clans of the Spirit Snake are the most populous clans in the entire Far East, and they occupy the only flat land in the Far East Continent, located in the Twin Snake Plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Heavenly Snake River, with a population of 360 million, three times that of the Five Horned Rhino Clans and other clans combined, and can provide a large number of soldiers and laborers.

The topography of the Far East is high in the south and low in the north, the source of the Heavenly Snake River is the Wanling Mountains in the north of the Xudu, flows from the southwest to the northeast, flows through the Qicun Mountain, is divided into two tributaries, the larger river is called the Green Snake River, the smaller river is called the White Snake River, after flowing through the plain, the two rivers merge into a stream again, and go to the sea from the north of the continent. Therefore, the land of the Shuanghe River basin was called the Twin Snake Plain by the Far Easterners, and later, they built a city at the mouth of the Shuanghe Sea, which is the northernmost sea market in the Far East. And the site of the construction of the fifty-second silver city, the Snake City, is on the sea north of the sea market.

The Green Snake Clan, where Bi Qinglan belongs, not only occupies most of the Twin Snake Plain, but also maintains a strategic alliance with the second most powerful White Snake Clan for hundreds of years. Therefore, Bi Qinglan has the absolute right to speak among the seven major clans of the snake clan.

Third, Bi Qinglan is a radical in the new generation of the Far East, opposing stereotypes, despising ancient temples, directly and openly hostile to brilliant beliefs, with an extremely clear political position, and a strong desire for development, not only strong wrists, but also sufficient ability.

Therefore, Biqinglan is the best partner of the world's great nobles.

However, there are only so many seats in the world parliament, one carrot and one pit. The best way to get the Far Eastern Serpent Clan a seat is to hasten the demise of the Reinhardt family......

"I understand that the purpose of Biqinglan is to induce the Reinhardt family to become traitors among the world's great nobles through my contact with William." Iron Slag said.

"Hmm." Zhao Wenke nodded in response.

"But......" said Iron Slag after a moment's thought, "we can see it, can't William see it?" He is one of the three roses of the Temple, the Purple Rose, known as a military advisor, and Eva Green once told me that William's strategic thinking is the most comprehensive of the three roses. ”

Zhao Wenke smiled and said, "It is precisely because William is smart enough, if he changes to a slightly stupider one, Bi Qinglan will not have a chance." ”

"Why?" Iron Slag asked inexplicably.

"Often, only the most cautious people do the boldest things." Zhao Wenke picked up the wine glass and shook it, and continued, "William has a good view of the overall situation, and he can naturally see the irreversible defeat of the Reinhardt family. ”

"Shall we contact him now?" Iron Slag asked.

"It's not time yet, if we contact him now, he'll sell us to the Templars right away." Zhao Wenke shook his head, and then said, "He is a smart person, we don't need to contact him at all, as long as the time is right, we can ask him for help, but the premise is that we can let him see the hope of giving it a go." ”

"How do you solve the turquoise thing?" Iron Slag continued to ask.

"I feel that she likes you...... Zhao Wenke blinked his eyes and said, "You are an expert in dealing with women." ”

"Friend, she started hurting me before she knew what I looked like, okay?" Iron Slag rolled his eyes and said.

"Maybe it's a kind of love, too." Zhao Wenke guessed.

"Do you want me to show you kindness?" As he spoke, Iron Slag reached for the hilt behind his back.

"I'm sorry I lost my words, please don't mind." Zhao Wenke said sincerely.

"By the way, just now you said that supporting the central nobles and weakening the strength of the commercial consortium and the nobles of the central continent territory is the main strategic goal of the western nobles at present, does that mean that there will be a war in the central continent?" Iron Slag let go of the handle and asked.

"Large-scale wars will definitely not, now the main theme of the Silver City world is still external plunder, not internal wars, but there will definitely be small-scale conflicts, because what the world's great nobles are good at is not the economy, but war; If they really want to suppress the commercial consortium and the territorial aristocracy, the big nobles will inevitably take armed intervention, and if the commercial consortium cannot win, it will naturally make concessions. ”

"Then we'll take advantage of their infighting to form our own team." Iron Slag said.

"What are you doing with a team?" Zhao Wenke asked.

"With the armed forces, you can make money." Iron Slag said as a matter of course, "Fight to feed the war, and then gradually expand the team." ”

"This ......" Zhao Wenke touched his nose and said, "Boss, fighting a war will only deplete our strength, and there will be no benefit." ”

"As the soldiers mature in battle, the team will become stronger and stronger." Iron Slag said. At this time, his concept of making money was still at the level of mercenaries, probably working as a bodyguard for a caravan, guarding a fortress for others, and even fighting a war.

"For small teams, this is true, but for corps, after adequate military training, any war is attrition." Zhao Wenke paused and asked rhetorically, "Look at those big nobles, when did they give up using their elite troops?" ”

"Uh......" Iron Slag thought for a while, recalling You Ge's usual arrangement, as well as Lina's style back then, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"The real elite is used at critical moments, and they must not be used unless they are absolutely necessary." Zhao Wenke said.

"So what do you think we should do in the future?" Iron slag asked.

"The first question, of course, is to make money, and without money, what can we do to support the army?" Zhao Wenke said.

"We still have some money." Iron Slag reminded.

"I don't think it's money, because it's impossible to rise with money alone, and even if it's money, it will run out one day, so ......," Zhao Wenke analyzed, "Our top priority is to make money." ”

"Well, and then what?" Iron Slag nodded in agreement, and then asked.

"After getting the things left by our ancestors, we will go to the Central Continent, look for an investment company in the Western Continent, cooperate with them, and then go to the No. 5 Desert to develop in their name." Zhao Wenke said.

"Company? Like HH Company? Iron Slag asked.

"HH is too big to work with us." Zhao Wenke said.

"What if it matters?" Iron Slag asked. He remembered that the captain had some ambiguous relationship with the chairman of the HH company, and he might be able to take advantage of it.

"Even if you marry Xiao Xingyue, she won't cooperate with us." Zhao Wenke directly dispelled his thoughts, and then analyzed, "We can only find a medium-sized company at home, small companies don't have the courage and strength, and large companies don't have the courage or need, they have a monopoly on one side, and they don't need to take the risk of cooperating with us." ”

"But......" said Iron Slag after a moment's thought, "won't they betray us?" ”

"Merchants are the most unreliable partners, but they are also the most reliable partners, their essence is to chase profits, as long as there is enough profit, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire and lava purgatory ahead, they will accompany you to break through."

"And then?" Iron Slag asked.

"Build a stronghold, open mines, make money." Zhao Wenke said.

"Since it's mining, why don't you go to the bottomless abyss, where the density of ore sites is high and the mineral reserves are richer." Iron Slag asked, with his previous understanding, purely in terms of profit, Desert No. 5 could not be compared to the bottomless abyss.

ps：

About the archetype of the remnants of the North.

Today, I discussed this issue with a book friend, the Night Watchman, and I felt it necessary to explain to you the origin of the remnants of the North.

Ice and snow, polar day and night, wolf breeding, fishing, friendship and unity, sharing spirit, and peace with encounters......

Obviously, these settings are all from the "Eskimos".

Eskimos, also known as Inuit, live in the Arctic region (the end of the world, the Far North, that is, the Arctic), and live in Greenland, the United States, Canada, and Russia in and around the Arctic Circle, from Siberia and Alaska to Greenland.

The ancestors of the Inuit came from northern China (the origin of the term "remnants of the north"), who crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to the Americas about 10,000 years ago, or crossed the frozen strait land bridge. It is mainly distributed in the northern part of North America. The language belongs to the Eskimo-Aleutian language family of the ancient Asiatic language family. In the inshore waters, they mainly catch sea beasts and fish for a living (Hawkeye Clan, Deep-Sea Fishermen), while those in the inland are engaged in hunting (White Wolf Clan, Snow Mountain Clan).

The Eskimos belong to the East Asian peoples and differ from the Amerindians in that they have more Asian characteristics, and they share certain cultural characteristics with their Asian contemporaries, such as the use of fire, the domestication of sled dogs (the white wolf clan), and certain special rituals and medical methods that live separately in a social group of regional groups.

Most of the leaders are shamans (the great prophets of the previous generation have conferred the position of shaman on the iron slag war song), practice monogamy (novels are derived from life, higher than life), and live in stone houses, wooden houses, and snow cabins.

In the story, the original three clans of the northern remnants, the White Wolf Clan, the Eagle Eye Clan, and the Snow Mountain Clan, came from the Far Eastern Continent (where the land plate moved), and their ancestor worship and warrior spirit (the tradition and belief of the Brilliant Temple) also came from the ninth generation of disciples of the wandering monks.

All in all, the greatest similarity between the northern remnants and the Eskimos is that in the harsh living environment, the friendship between the tribes (what we currently lack the most) and the spirit of sharing are formed (first, the northern remnants are the pioneers and pioneers of dimensional exploration, and they have made the valuable information they have obtained from their adventures public, so that others can also participate in the development of the plane; Second, after the remnants of the north picked up the Eden, they did not hide it, but took it out to share with the world, and finally it was occupied by the Silver Knight Alliance for various reasons), the character of being at ease with the encounter (one of the core personalities of the iron slag, not ambitious, easy to satisfy, if it weren't for Ye Xinling's death, he would not have left Iron Mountain Town).

Traditional Eskimos are accustomed to speculating on people's hearts with initial goodwill (contrary to our current mainstream culture, the phenomenon of "Internet trolls" can be said to be a typical case of speculating people's hearts with the greatest malice), and they have the qualities of kindness, honesty, and courage (of course, some Far Easterners also have them, but most of them are bound by the word "face"; In addition, don't debate with me on the point of "face", Mr. Lu Xun has already expressed his deep hatred in the article "Speaking of Face"; Speaking of such a thing as face, it is the dross that I despise and dislike so much, but I have to succumb to and use, and I have always felt that it is such garbage that has tarnished our glory for 5,000 years).

For a more detailed part, please ask Du Niang, the tradition of the Eskimos is actually worth seeing.

Finally, I would like to say here that the Far Easterners accuse the Far Easterners of admiring the remnants of the North as friends who worship foreign countries.

Please, it's all your own people......
