For high-level decision-makers, there are dozens or hundreds of possible outcomes of war.
But for ordinary people, war is black and white, and there are only two concepts of winning and losing.
However, when the news of the victory spread back to the territory, the first people to stir up excitement were not the eagerly awaited residents, but the group of Qinggang City managers.
“That scary monster, my God, they have won the battle, aren’t they just lying to us after going out for a while and then coming back?”
“Liar to us. ? I heard that there are thousands of prisoners to be escorted back! ”
"The prisoners can't fake it. They must have really won. This is amazing."
"Where's Qinggang? Didn't Qinggang react?"
A group of people are still there We met at the usual place, and when we met, we unabashedly expressed our inner shock.
Aldridge's figure rarely appears in the crowd.
In the past, he relied on being able to get both sides. Among the group of managers in the city, he could barely avoid being squeezed out because of his status as a western suburb. But now the situation has changed, and he has suddenly become the focus of the crowd. .
If it weren't for Aldridge's always-always indifferent expression, these southern suburbs managers would have been there long ago, eager to please him.
But having said that, this is still the influence brought by the alliance, not his personal influence.
Aldrich knew how to find the right balance. Seeing that he had almost achieved his goal, he immediately put down his disguise and put on a passionate attitude.
“We have indeed won the battle, and soon, the alliance leader will lead the expeditionary force in triumph!”
The affirmative news coming from Aldrich’s mouth was obviously better than that of the spies. Asking about it is more convincing.
The crowd was in an uproar, and there were endless sounds of shock.
Of course, if the goal of the expedition is changed to another human gathering place, perhaps they will not be surprised.
But those monster dwarves, everyone has seen the video released by Qinggang, and their combat power is simply terrifying.
What kind of lunatic would make such a decision if he dares to attack the opponent's lair.
In fact, this is the result of information gap.
The managers only saw the powerful posture of the dwarves in full gear, and saw the dwarves' exposed advantages.
The real weak foundation and shortcomings are still unknown.
"Speaking of which, they won't come back for revenge, right?"
"Who can say for sure, but one thing is for sure, if we don't take the initiative, they will definitely come. "
"That's right. The last time these monsters were defeated, they definitely wouldn't give up. This time, the leader of the Soviet Union took the initiative to attack, which can be regarded as solving a big trouble for us in Qinggang City. "
"We need to join the alliance!" A manager from the southern suburbs took the opportunity to say: "Qinggang City should be a whole, and we also need to contribute our strength to the alliance. We can no longer sit back and wait for death!"
This sentence As soon as he said it, the scene instantly became quiet.
But then, the whole conference room was filled with noise, and there were voices everywhere who wanted to join in.
The current alliance is no longer the precarious situation it was when it was first established, and the most important thing is
There are really two different things in the wasteland between those who have real combat power and those who only have paper strength.
It is confirmed that the Tianyuan Alliance does have the ability to take the lead. It would be a crime to hesitate any longer!
“I know you are most concerned about this.” Aldrich smiled and nodded: “So I am gathering everyone here now, and I want to inform you of something in advance.”
He stood up and pressed the communicator on his waist.
The door of the conference room was opened immediately, and several staff members holding documents walked in.
Judging from the thickness of a document, there should be quite a lot recorded on it.
After they were distributed to all managers in turn, many people's expressions suddenly became strange.
Well, I can’t say they are very familiar, I can only say they are exactly the same.
Look at this file name.
"Recommendation on the Reconstruction of All Ground Industries in Qinggang City"
Gee, are you so arrogant? You didn’t even change the name, and directly copied the Qinggang Shelter half a year ago. The plan distributed after inviting everyone.
Is it possible that the Tianyuan Alliance feels that it is now powerful and wants to imitate Qinggang and become the king of Qinggang City?
The scene was relatively calm, with all the participants lowering their heads and flipping through the documents in their hands attentively. Almost no one raised any questions or made any comments.
Today is really different from the past.
Although the former Sunny Harbor Sanctuary was more powerful than the current alliance, that kind of power was very uncomfortable.
It is a half-coercive and half-threatening situation, all protected by a higher level of force.
In comparison, today's alliance shows a completely different style, taking a people-friendly approach.
We never show force easily, and we never use force to threaten or force anyone. Our attitude towards every gathering place is equal. Regardless of the size, everyone receives the same respect and attention.
This has resulted in some managers of micro-shelters being inherently closer to the Alliance.
Now, when they carefully looked through the documents in their hands, they quickly discovered the huge differences between the two plans.
Although their names sound similar, the content is vastly different.
This new plan is not only more thoughtful, but also more practical and sustainable.
"If we contract an area on the ground, we can apply for a loan from the alliance. Not only will we have manpower to assist, but we will also receive material support?" Tono, the manager of Colt Shelter, immediately asked a question.
“Sorry, please forgive me for interrupting everyone’s browsing. I saw on page 6, Article 10, that the Soviet leader plans to introduce a large number of workers from the gathering place discovered outside to revive our Qinggang City. Factory economy, I think if this is true, then the above ground area of our Colt shelter is definitely the best choice!"
His shelter is located in the eastern suburbs, with a bird's eye view on top! The abandoned construction site covers an area half the size of the western suburbs. It is full of abandoned small buildings and factories with uneven construction progress.
Before time travel, this was the favorite place for homeless people in Qinggang City. Most of the homeless people who escaped from other cities would choose this place to transition for a period of time.
However, if we move the timeline forward a few hundred years, this place is the center of development of the entire Qinggang City.
A large number of heavy industries want to settle in Qinggang City for local production and transportation due to the convenient transportation of the port.
The densely populated southern suburbs, the undulating northern suburbs, and the affluent western suburbs are all incapable of taking over the task.
Only the eastern suburbs on the plain side has a large area of fertile land that can be divided into major factories.
With the advantages of cheap rent and tax exemption, many well-known large factories have been attracted to settle here. Unfortunately, before it was fully constructed, it was interrupted by a sudden war and has been abandoned until now.
If we can use the help of the alliance this time to develop all these abandoned factories on the ground.
The benefits will be unimaginable.
"Mr. Tono, I have to say that your question is valuable."
Aldrich said slowly.
"The development of an above-ground factory economy in Qinggang City is already a certainty. In fact, you have all seen that our alliance has been piloting in the western suburbs for a long time, especially in Longteng Village, which has incubated no less than five large and small factories. Ten of them can produce tons of various in-demand goods every day."
"Think about it, there is no damn city governor in Qinggang City to collect taxes, and there are no large-scale ones. The professional and technical barriers that the forces firmly hold in their hands, no matter what we produce, even if we copy their products one-to-one, we don’t need to pay anyone a single iron coin for the use of technology!”
While talking, Aldrich himself laughed out loud.
“Open a factory, and the alliance will not only provide you with the necessary technical support, but also arrange for obedient and honest labor to work there. What do you need to do? Yes, you just need to boldly join the reconstruction of the alliance. According to the plan, it won’t take long to repay the initial loan.”
“And the most important thing is that the shelters that join the plan will be regarded as joining the alliance, and you will receive the blessing of the alliance. , especially those factories, the alliance’s army will protect every factory opened in Qinggang City, even if no one can cross this red line!”
Then, Aldrich highlighted three aspects.
First, although the loans obtained for starting a factory are not interest-free, the overall interest rates are not high.
If the factory's efficiency can really fluctuate according to the standards in the plan, then it will only be a matter of time before it is finished.
At the same time, if you are willing to use your own resources, you can directly save the costs incurred in the borrowing process.
Second, the alliance will never charge the factory for the use of technology patents. Instead, when the technology is updated, it will be shared free of charge as soon as possible, and dedicated engineers will be assigned to visit the factory to provide training and support.
Third, all factories opened in the early stage have limited quotas, especially those that produce in-demand goods. Some even only have one quota.
If someone applies, the remaining people will not be able to open it, otherwise it will be regarded as provoking the alliance.
"Then what does the alliance earn? It can't really be for the development of Qinggang City, right?"
Tonno was stunned and said the issue that everyone is most concerned about at the moment.
Technical support, low-interest loans, military protection.
With so many benefits, it would be unreasonable if the alliance had no room to make money.
And they will also join the alliance next. Without profit points, they may not be stable in the future.
"Hey, why did you mention the key issue again."
Aldrich almost thought that Tono was the one he hired.
“Of course the alliance wants to make money, and it must make money hard, making an astronomical amount of money that none of you can imagine.”
"But please remember, the alliance never makes money from its own people, we only take money from outside!"
Throughout history, in the wave of industrialization, almost every booming economy in its early stages, They are all pursuing more efficient production and a broader market.
Although internal taxation is important, in the short term, how to promote the explosion of industrial production and create more goods for export is more important.
After all, there is an obvious trade deficit. The income from expanding exports is almost dozens or hundreds of times that of internal digestion. It is possible that one transaction can bring unimaginable gains.
In particular, the giant dragon Xianjiang has now appeared in the New World in advance. Tianyuan's unique geographical location and resource advantages can fully digest the huge potential of the river economy.
"We have a large number of cargo ships, and several are launched every day that can be used for cargo. We have a fleet armed to the teeth, which can ensure that the goods we produce can be sold to far away places without worrying about being ambushed by interested parties on the water. "
"Mr. Tuono, have you forgotten why dozens or hundreds of factories want to settle in that area in the eastern suburbs? "
Hearing his words, Tuono asked. Nuo was a little distracted and couldn't answer immediately.
But his reaction already told the answer.
Yes, why did you forget this important aspect of the external market?
No wonder the alliance suddenly wants to revive Qinggang City at any cost. I'm afraid it has already found a buyer, right?
A group of managers from the southern suburbs raised their heads and looked at each other, and they could all see the surprise in each other's eyes.
Perhaps it was because the previous plan of Sunny Harbor Shelter was too overbearing. When they first saw this reconstruction plan, they almost instinctively wanted to reject it.
But if the model described by Aldrich can be followed now, then the future of Qinggang City is really just around the corner.
"Hey, our southern suburbs are all residential areas. Even if they are rebuilt, there will be no place to put them into production."
"Damn the governor, why didn't you arrange some factories in the southern suburbs?"
"Can we renovate the building so that the workers can go to work in the building."
"It's easy for the workers to go up there. , how to get the machinery and equipment up, and how to deliver the goods?”
“It’s better to demolish the building and rebuild the factory on the ruins.”
The managers in the southern suburbs shouted. getting bigger and bigger.
Judging from the fact that there was no discussion against the plan itself, the implementation of the reconstruction plan is already a certainty.
Soon, the managers of Dongjiao reached a consensus and agreed on the spot to go to Tianyuan for in-depth consultation.
Seeing that the dispute in the southern suburbs could not produce results in a short period of time, Aldrich could only take the initiative to break up the meeting.
Although the alliance had made plans for the southern suburbs residential areas before preparing this plan.
But there is still time now, so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to let these people have a fight.
A bunch of wallflowers!
Aldrich cursed in his heart, people always don't know how to cherish things that they can easily get.
Only by letting them quarrel and fight for it will they feel that the things they grab are really delicious.
Otherwise, even if you get a treasure that others are extremely coveted, you will feel that your treasure is not as good as other people’s treasures after a while.
But then again, it has to be the leader of the Soviet Alliance.
Under that non-competition restriction, the popular factory can only open one in the city within a certain period of time.
For many managers, this is a perfect hit on their weak point.
No one wants to let the duck fly away. This competition directly guarantees that managers will never unite.
With the conflict of interests, the difficulty of executing the alliance's next plan will be greatly reduced.
When the first breakthrough appears, what awaits everyone will be an avalanche of "joining"!
