Chapter 1373: Cultivate a vest to radiate the south!
Before Tianyuan reaches a million-level scale and completely rebuilds Qinggang City, the mining island in the southern fire domain is destined to be a place that needs to be developed defensively and low-key for a long time to come. as the main target area.
Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be too much credit here, there will only be endless hard work.
If you directly assign those ambitious guys from the territory, it will be equivalent to sending people to the frontier.
Even the hard-working Chen Shen would not be willing to come here to "goof around".
Therefore, choosing a capable person from the local area to manage it is actually the best choice.
And Sun Guangmin, the only remaining manager after the Cha Cha Mining Island went through chaos, actually perfectly met all of Sumo's selection requirements, and even made him suspect that Hu Shulin was telling lies. Later, he found Malatie After further investigation, I was convinced that Sun Guangmin was indeed such a rare talent.
First, Sun Guangmin has qualified management and development capabilities, but he does not have much ambition.
It can be clearly seen from the development history of Tiantie Island that he has always carefully controlled the pace of Tiantie Island's external expansion and maintained a steady internal accumulation and improvement of strength.
This is exactly in line with the future positioning of Mining Island. It does not seek merit, but seeks no faults.
Second, Sun Guangmin is one of those rare managers who can recognize and openly admit his shortcomings.
Sumo was extremely surprised when he heard from Hu Shulin that there were managers who were not responsible for military affairs.
In the wasteland, force is often directly related to survival. Negligence in military affairs may lead to unpredictable consequences, such as defense loopholes, resource plunder, and even the destruction of entire settlements.
However, Sun Guangmin was willing to hand over this part to outsiders and successfully led Tiantie Island to a relatively stable development path, which had to make Sumo look at him with admiration.
Third, Sun Guangmin’s attitude towards survivors is very special, which is also one of Sumo’s most valued advantages.
As the wasteland environment becomes more stable, local gathering areas will gradually enter a stage of peaceful development.
At this stage, internal stability is far more important than external threats.
Sun Guangmin is admired and loved by the residents of Tiantie Island.
Otherwise, the evacuation of the crowd on the pier in the afternoon would not have been so smooth, which was in stark contrast to the survivors arriving from other islands one after another.
In a short period of time, Sumo decided to observe Sun Guangmin's performance for a period of time, but the premise was that Tianyuan needed to take over the defense of the mining island.
However, I believe Sun Guangmin will not have any objections, after all, he has chosen to delegate power before.
“In fact, everyone has advantages and disadvantages. There is never a perfect person in this world. And my criteria for selecting people have always been based on comprehensive ability. Since you can be recognized by me for this job, Then there is no need to belittle your own abilities. Of course, if you have no confidence at all, I can also find someone else to come and arrange other work for you."
After a pause, Sumo continued to say with a smile. .
"How about it, do you want to try it?"
Sun Guangmin swallowed.
It sounded like Soma was giving him a yes or no choice, but in reality there was only one option.
"I have a question?"
".What?"
"If I continue to be the manager here, can I not use the name Tianyuan for a short time? "No."
Sun Guangmin gritted his teeth and said, Hu Shulin and others sitting behind him were all stunned.
"Tell me what you think." Sumo thought for a moment and showed encouraging eyes.
Sun Guangmin thought for a moment and spoke slowly: "If after we join Tianyuan, the mining island cannot get a lot of support to promote its development in the short term, then the best strategy is to keep a low profile as much as possible. This will reduce the attention and suppression of other forces."
"If the Mine Island is Tianyuan's Mine Island in the eyes of other forces in the Southern Fire Territory, then we are now Tianyuan's breakthrough point and weakness, and our current strength. It is far from enough to withstand such pressure. On the contrary, if the Mine Island is independent in the eyes of the outside world and is an autonomous gathering place, then once we are supported by weapons and resources, it will quickly rise into the Southern Fire Domain. A strong gathering place with overwhelming advantages."
"And it's far more than that!"
As Sun Guangmin spoke, his thoughts became more and more active.
"Maintaining an independent identity will not only help us avoid unnecessary risks, but also win us more initiative in external communications. We can put down our status and interact with other forces in the Southern Fire Territory to seek the most beneficial cooperation opportunities. , instead of being bound by the limitations of identity. We can also use force to fight with surrounding forces without worrying about the impact of public opinion on you and Tianyuan."
"It may not take long, Mine Island. It can also develop into a gathering place for millions of people. After all, we still have many islands suitable for human habitation. At present, we just don’t have the advantage of attracting survivors to join. Once a cycle is formed, there will definitely be an influx of people. With the addition of these people. , our mining and smelting speed will be significantly improved. By then, the mining island will be able to continuously deliver a large amount of minerals to Tianyuan, and will no longer be a burden that requires constant support. ”
Clear statement. It was a bit surprising. Not only did everyone in the conference room feel dry and couldn't help but applaud Sun Guangmin in their hearts, even Feng Long, who had been standing at the door, poked his head in to take a look.
I have to say that what Sun Guangmin described is very convincing.
Tianyuan’s mining island and the independent mining island are indeed two different things in the eyes of outside survivors.
If they only receive support from Tianyuan but still remain independent from the outside world, then it will definitely be just around the corner to become a large force in the Southern Fire Territory.
However, unlike everyone who was persuaded, Sumo did not react much, but still looked at Sun Guangmin intently.
"Is there any more?"
Sun Guangmin was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what Sumo meant by "Is there any more?"
What he wants to hear is not some empty ideals, but practical and feasible measures.
For example, it is no problem for the mining island to become independent, but how to ensure that no one leaks the news during the process?
Even if we can ensure that everyone who currently knows the news is kept quiet, even if new people join in the future, no news will be disclosed to the outside world.
Is it possible to fabricate a transaction object out of thin air to deceive people when a large amount of materials are coming in and out?
But fortunately, Sun Guangmin had already thought about this issue secretly when he was sorting out the information on the mining island.
He was not frightened now. After a moment of pause to think, he continued.
"Lord Su, would you mind using the Green River Territory to put on a play?"
"Green River Territory?"
It seems to be a familiar name.
Sumo recalled it carefully, and then he remembered where he had heard this name before being reminded by Spicy Iron Hammer.
It turned out to be the smart-aleck territory in the Battle of Ten Thousand Paths, but I didn’t expect to encounter it again?
"Very well, tell me your plan." The negotiation between Tianyuan and Mine Island lasted for a full hour.
While all the survivors on the dock were still protesting, news like bolts from the blue came one after another.
I don’t know who shouted it, and it immediately detonated the already lively scene.
"What, Wu Jiahao, a man who has killed a thousand swords, what qualifications does he have to refuse on behalf of our mining island?"
"Damn it, where is this guy? I'm going to kill him now!"
"And Encobat, who gave him the courage to talk to Su Shenshi? "
"Don't worry, there will be a second round of negotiations. Even if we can't join Tianyuan, we can still buy a lot of good things from Tianyuan with minerals."
"What's the use of that. , what we want is to join, not to trade!”
“Protest, we protest, these managers do not represent our ideas at all”
After a chaos, there are currently only four managers left in the Mineral Island Alliance.
I heard that during the negotiation process, Sun Guangmin agreed, Hua Qingyun abstained due to treatment, and Wu Jiahao and Encobat actually voted against. After the two-to-one negotiation dragged into the second round, the survivors gathered at the dock almost exploded. .
Are they crazy?
Given the opportunity to join Tianyuan, these two fools can actually vote against it with their feet?
Just when the crowd was rioting and wanted to attack Tiantie Island, directly annihilating Wu Jiahao and Encobat's humanitarianism, and canceling the two objection votes, Sun Guangmin hurriedly rushed out and quickly refuted the news.
"Everyone, you have misunderstood. There is no objection!"
"We just exchanged opinions in private, but how can the manager's opinions be contrary to everyone's opinions? Even if someone wants to Even if we refuse, forget it, I will tell the truth now. Did you all see the two ships that sank last night?”
“It was Wu Jiahao and Hua Qingyun who led the people to do it. , these two daring guys actually attacked Tianyuan's ship for their own selfish purposes. If Su Shen hadn't happened to be inspecting the southern plate with the fleet that afternoon, otherwise Tianyuan's fleet would have regarded us as enemies and directly launched a covering attack on us. There’s no problem with attacking.”
As soon as the words fell, the angry crowd fell silent.
A group of people looked at each other, looking at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.
If Tianyuan's fleet visited the Mine Island, there would be no problem for them to riot and demand to join Tianyuan.
But now they took the initiative to attack Tianyuan's ship, and the main fleet came to investigate.
Based on the behavior of everyone on the dock, I don’t know if they thought they were going to launch an attack.
"And with the current development level of our Mine Island Alliance and the behaviors you are showing now, how do you qualify to join Tianyuan?"
Speaking of this, Sun Guangmin said with a helpless smile. ：
"Do you think that any force can join Tianyuan? Not to mention the selection criteria for forces with millions or tens of millions of people when they expand externally. Our mining island has various regulations when recruiting survivors. How come Tianyuan can Are there no selection criteria? "
Um.
The crowded crowd became quieter, and everyone's face turned red as if their throats were being pinched.
Especially those who shouted the loudest at the beginning lowered their heads dejectedly and tried to shrink back from the crowd.
What Sun Guangmin said is not unreasonable. If every gathering place can easily join large forces and join Tianyuan, how can there be all kinds of chaos and disputes in the New World?
To put it bluntly, they were on a mining island and usually didn't have a good look on those outside survivors.
Many people feel that the foreign survivors are not reliable at all. Not only did they fail to contribute to the early development of the mining island, but they also came to seize their resources and job opportunities after it developed.
Looking back now, they were blocking the dock here and clamoring to join Tianyuan. They didn't make any contribution, but they made it clear that they wanted to enjoy the benefits of other people's development. How could they get consent?
“Go back quickly. Before the next round of negotiations begins, there is still room for recovery.”
“If we, Tiantie Island, had not contacted Tianyuan’s envoy in advance, the remaining I have made a pretty good impression, and if the resources around the mining island still have a certain value, Tianyuan’s fleet may have left long ago.”
After saying that, Sun Guangmin turned and left, leaving only a slightly desolate figure under the firelight, which made people feel inexplicably sad.
This is also a portrayal of most gathering places in the wasteland. When facing large forces, there is no room for bargaining.
Soon, the crowd gathered on the pier began to disperse.
There is no need for the defense team to continue to maintain the order during the evacuation. The only sound on the river is the sound of wind and water.
Even some people who were still coming from a distance were spontaneously persuaded to leave by these people.
Nonsense, the hope of joining Tianyuan now is very slim.
If tens of thousands of people are allowed to gather around the pier and protest, then the outcome of the mining island can be announced in advance.
"This guy's acting skills are really good, he is a talent!"
Feng Long's eyes lit up as he looked out from a high place, as if he had gotten to know Sun Guangmin again.
First, a false message was released to cause confusion among the crowd, and all the blame was passed on to several other managers.
Wait until the crowd's emotions are at their highest to appear and deliver a fatal blow, shifting the blame to these people themselves.
Now even if Tianyuan turns around and leaves, the survivors of Mine Island cannot blame Sun Guangmin at all.
"Being able to maintain a firm position as a manager without having to control military power requires some means."
Suma nodded slightly and looked into the distance of the deep river.
If we can support a "vest" in the southern fire zone and radiate the entire south, it will undoubtedly be the best result at the moment.
It is different from the giant tree roots that were forced to migrate due to the expansion of the New World, and their value has been basically squeezed out.
Mineral Island is not only home to a large area of mineral resources, but also contains immeasurable potential development value.
The waterway and waterway transportation conditions here are unique, and it can easily and efficiently transport production resources to the outside world, and at the same time, continuously bring back a variety of commodities.
The unique geographical location of the southern plate gives this land unique agricultural advantages. Crops are harvested three times a year here, which not only provides sufficient food security for local residents, but also has many advantages after future development. The possibility of becoming a reserve granary.
The only trouble is that the complex and changeable terrain has caused the defense to be weak to a certain extent. Once a strong enemy is encountered, it will be difficult to organize effective resistance.
And this point can be perfectly solved after Tianyuan takes over.
