Doomsday Totem

Chapter 426 Strategy
Zhao Wenke first took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then made a comprehensive and detailed analysis from the past to the present, the current world structure, the division of interests, and the situation of the snake tribe in the Far East.

From ancient times to the present, the core contradiction in the Yincheng world has been the competition for resources. Mastering resources is equivalent to mastering the world.

In order to consolidate their position, the western aristocrats have never stopped seizing resources, creating conflicts, and dividing forces.On the surface, the biggest contradiction in the world of Silver City today is the great aristocrats in the central region and the growing business consortia and territorial aristocrats.

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

This incident has fundamentally shaken the interests of the great western aristocracy. They don't need a complete and unified central continent, they need a divided central continent with intricate forces and entangled interests.

Therefore, supporting the great aristocrats in the central region and weakening the strength of the commercial consortia and the nobles in the central mainland territories are the main strategic goals of the great aristocrats in the west at present.

But the Reinhardt family is the most special noble.They won the Splendid Temple by funding the Psyker Alliance and the Temple, and gained the status of the world's great nobles.But in essence, they are still commercial consortiums, because their main strength is reflected in the economic aspect, not the combat aspect.

Now the Reinhardt family is like a double-faced person, one foot is in the domain of the great nobles, and the other foot is in the domain of the commercial consortium.On the surface, it seems that they have both sides, but in fact, they are squeezed out by both sides.

The pure nobles want to take back the land and replace more valuable partners, while the pure business consortia want to annex 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 hours.Because all great nobles must abide by a basic rule: In terms of core interests, they must be consistent with the outside world.

Unless, a traitor appeared among the great nobles...

There are three reasons why Yugo Lombal supported Biqinglan to establish the Sun Snake Cult:
First, the long-term exclusion of the Far East from the core interests of the world is not conducive to the development of Yincheng World.After all, in addition to its own contradictions, human beings also have to guard against invasions from the outside world, such as bee ants, swarms of demons, and other races from unknown planes.

A Far East that has been in decline for a long time does not conform to the fundamental interests of all mankind, nor does it conform to the interests of the world's great aristocracy.If the human world collapses, what will they rule?
Second, the Spirit Snake Seven Clan is the most populous clan in the entire Far East, and occupies the only flat piece of land in the Far East Continent. It is located in the Shuangshe Plain in the middle and lower reaches of the Tian Snake River, with a population of 6000 million. Three times the sum of other clans, can provide a large number of soldiers and labor.

The terrain of the Far East is high in the south and low in the north. The Tianshe River originates from the Wanling Mountains in the north of Fengdu, flows from southwest to northeast, and divides into two tributaries when passing through Qicun Mountain. The larger river is named Qing The Snake River, the smaller river is called the White Snake River. After flowing through the plain, the two rivers merge into one and flow out to the sea from the north of the mainland.Therefore, the land in the Shuanghe Basin was called the Shuangshe Plain by the Far Easterners. Later, they built a city at the mouth of the Shuanghe River, which was the northernmost sea city in the Far East.And the construction site of the two silver cities, the Snake City, is on the sea north of Haishi.

The Green Snake Clan that Bi Qinglan belongs to not only occupies half of the Shuang 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 among the new generation in the Far East. She opposes outdated rules, despises ancient temples, and directly hostile to glorious beliefs. She has an extremely clear political stance and a strong desire for development. enough.

Therefore, Biqinglan is the best partner for 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 East Snake Race is to accelerate the demise of the Reinhardt family...

"I understand that Biqinglan's purpose is to lure the Reinhardt family into traitors among the world's great nobles through my contact with William," Tie Slag said.

"En." Zhao Wenke nodded in response.

"But..." Tie Slag thought for a while, and then said, "We can see it, can't William see it? He is one of the three roses in the temple, the Purple Rose, known as a military adviser, Eva Green He once told me that William's strategic thinking is the most comprehensive among the three roses."

Zhao Wenke laughed and said, "It's precisely because William is smart enough. If someone is a little stupid, Bi Qinglan won't have a chance."

"Why?" Tie Slag asked inexplicably.

"Often only the most cautious people will do the most daring things." Zhao Wenke shook his glass and continued, "William has a good overall view, so he can naturally see the irreversible situation of the Reinhardt family. In defeat, it is better to give it a go than to decline in a long time and endure wave after wave of encroachment."

"Then shall we contact him now?" Tie Slag asked.

"It's not the time yet. If we contact him now, he will sell us to the temple immediately." Zhao Wenke shook his head, and then said, "He is a smart man, we don't need to contact at all, as long as the time is right, we will We can ask him for help, but the premise is that we can show him the hope of giving it a go.”

"How to solve the Biqinglan matter?" Tie Slag continued to ask.

"I think she likes you..." Zhao Wenke blinked and said, "You are an expert in dealing with women."

"My friend, she started to hurt me before she knew what I looked like, okay?" Tie Slag rolled his eyes and said.

"Maybe this is also a kind of love." Zhao Wenke guessed.

"Shall I show you my kindness?" While asking, Iron Slag reached out and touched the handle of the knife behind him.

"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, please don't mind." Zhao Wenke said sincerely.

"By the way, just now you said that supporting the great nobles in the central region and weakening the strength of the commercial consortia and the nobles of the central mainland territories are the main strategic goals of the western great nobles. Does that mean that there will be wars in the central mainland?" Iron Slag let go Hilt, asked.

"Large-scale wars will definitely not happen. Now the main theme of Silver City World is still foreign plunder, not internal wars, but there will definitely be small-scale conflicts, because the world's great aristocrats are not good at economics, but wars; if they really want to suppress Commercial consortia and territorial aristocrats, big nobles will inevitably take armed intervention, and if the commercial consortium cannot win, they will naturally make concessions."

"Then we will form our own team while they are fighting among themselves," Tie Slag said.

"Why form a team?" Zhao Wenke asked.

"You can make money with armed forces." Tie Slag said naturally, "Support wars with wars, and then gradually expand the team."

"This..." Zhao Wenke touched his nose and said, "Boss, fighting will only consume our strength, and it will not do any good."

"Soldiers gradually mature in battle, and the team will become stronger and stronger." Tie Slag said.At this time, his concept of making money is still at the level of mercenaries, probably serving as bodyguards for caravans, guarding fortresses for others, or even fighting wars and so on.

"For a small team, this is indeed the case, but for a legion, after sufficient military training, any war is attrition." Zhao Wenke paused and asked, "Look at those big nobles, when Are you willing to use your own elite troops?"

"Uh..." Tie Slag thought for a while, recalling Yu Ge's usual arrangements and Lina's style back then, it seemed that there was such a thing.

"True elites are all used at critical moments, and they must not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Zhao Wenke said.

"In your opinion, how should we develop in the future?" Tie Slag asked.

"The first question, of course, is to make money. If there is no money, how can we support the army?" Zhao Wenke said.

"We still have some wealth." Tie Slag reminded.

"I don't think it's money, because it's impossible to grow by relying on money alone, and even if it's money, it will be used up one day, so..." Zhao Wenke analyzed, "Our top priority is to make money."

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

"After getting the things left by our ancestors, we will go to the Central Continent, find an investment company in the Western Continent, cooperate with them, and then use their name to develop in the Fifth Desert." Zhao Wenke said.

"Company? Like the HH company?" Iron Slag asked.

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

"What if it's related?" Tie 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 medium-sized companies, small companies don't have the courage , and they don’t have the strength, and big companies don’t have the guts, and they don’t have the need, they have already monopolized one side, and there is no need to take risks and cooperate with us.”

"But..." Tie Slag thought for a while and said, "Will they not betray us?"

"Businessmen are the most unreliable partners, but they are also the most reliable partners. Their essence is to pursue profit. As long as there is enough profit, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire and lava purgatory ahead, they will accompany you to break through."

"What next?" Tie Slag asked.

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

"Since it is mining, why not go to the bottomless abyss, where the density of the mines is high, and the mineral reserves are more abundant." Iron Slag asked, based on his previous understanding, purely in terms of profit, the fifth desert can't compete with than the bottomless abyss.
