"We can't let this go any longer."
Jade was sitting in the tent. The wine in the wine glass on the table had bottomed out. More than a dozen leaders were there. They were talking about Allen's affairs. It was obvious that Allen had planned what happened early in the morning, so they
We can no longer remain indifferent.
The leaders are basically aware of the many things that Irene has done in the past few months. He has already destroyed the balance of this region. His active participation in the construction is false, but his desire to gain benefits from the construction is true.
"We'd better kill him while he's still weak."
Jed looked at the leaders, and he naturally knew that everyone wanted to be Allen, because Allen's current gang is the most stable, and that fortress is an ideal choice for many people.
.
The location of the fortress is very delicate. Once a problem occurs on this grassland, Allen has too many choices. No matter who is nearby and allies with Allen, it is a very good choice.
The leaders have now begun to focus on the future. Everyone knows that some things cannot be prevented. Now disputes have begun to arise. Less than one-third of the reservoir has been built, and the disputes are already very obvious.
Not to mention other things planned by the gods, medicines are also a major source of disputes. Although each gang has its own doctors involved in manufacturing medicines, the distribution of medicines is currently unbalanced, which has led to
dispute.
Because of the disputes caused by many issues, Jed has held many meetings with the bosses to resolve the disputes. Wanting to kill Allen is not only proposed by one of the bosses, but now it is indeed the best way to calm everyone's disputes.
A good idea, as long as there is a common enemy.
But there is one issue that Jed has considered very clearly. Once Allen is finished, Allen's current fortress will inevitably become an important place that many bosses are fighting for.
The answer to what Allen wants to do with so much metal has long been clear. They are secretly manufacturing weapons. Now the metal is basically supplied to construction. It is difficult for anyone to ask for part of the metal, because this is tantamount to providing for the current situation.
Subtle forms added fuel to the fire, and Allen did what many bosses wanted to do, and he did it without saying anything, and successfully diverted the crime.
Seeing that there would be no results from the discussion, Jade could only stand up and let everyone go back first.
After all the leaders left, several of Jed's confidants came in immediately.
"You guys come with me, I have to talk to Allen in person."
Everything Allen has done recently has made him the target of public criticism, but if Allen is resolved now, a bigger dispute will inevitably arise.
Soon Jed got into an electric-powered car and headed towards Allen's fortress.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the car stopped in front of Allen's fortress, the lights shone down, and several of Jed's men seemed a little nervous, although Jed explained his purpose.
After a while, the small door of the fortress opened. As soon as Jed walked in, he saw some metal wrapping behind the door. It still looked wooden on the outside, but reinforcements had begun on the inside.
After glancing around at Allen's men, Jade sensed their fear and doubts, because if they let themselves in now, they would definitely be exposed, and they didn't know what their leader Allen meant.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Allen was already waiting. He made a gesture of invitation. Jed followed Allen and walked up. Allen did not go to the house, but climbed up to the watchtower.
After the lights came on, Allen ordered someone to bring some wine and food.
“It’s great here.”
Jade nodded, looking at the dots of lights in the distance, and the oncoming breeze was very pleasant.
"Whenever I have nothing to do, I usually stay here to enjoy the sunshine and read a book."
“Really a good place.”
Jed said as Alan took out some cigarettes.
"Try it. This is the tobacco we have recently grown here, and we roll it ourselves."
"Can you already make paper?"
Allen nodded.
"You must have a lot to say when you come here tonight."
Jed asked angrily.
"For your plan, you killed the foreman. Don't you have the slightest bit of..."
Allen raised his hand to interrupt Jed's words. He did not intend to hide anything from Jed, because the only leader on this grassland who could talk to him about something was Jed.
"Yes, it is true that I caused the death of that foreman, but you have to change your thinking. If he had not agreed to my conditions, he would not have died. He could even report me. I gave them a lot of benefits.
.”
Jed grabbed Allen's collar angrily and asked.
"Obviously everything is fine now, why would you do something like this? As long as we all have a good talk and distribute everything, we will definitely..."
"The situation you think will not happen. Everyone wants more. This is the status quo. Everything I do is just to protect myself and to deal with possible conflicts that may arise next."
Jade let go of Allen, he looked very weak, and he also knew how pale everything he just said was.
"It's not just me, those guys have also done a lot of shameful things in private. Don't tell me you don't know, including many people under your command."
Jade did not refute. Indeed, many of his subordinates had done similar things to Allen in order to consolidate their territory, and Jade could only turn a blind eye.
"Many of us have seen the future quite clearly. Stop fooling yourself, Jed."
Food and drinks were soon served, including dried meat and some dried vegetables.
Alan poured Jed a glass of wine and the two of them took a sip.
"We have already started breeding some wild boars caught in the mountains and forests. Do you think Shenmen will come down personally to handle some matters?"
Jade shook his head.
"That's currently impossible."
"It's much easier since you don't know."
Allen stood up and pointed to the grassland in the distance.
"Winning the king and defeating the bandits, this is what I understand the gods want."
Jed scratched his head. He heard the words he least wanted to hear. I'm afraid Jean and the others figured out the problem much earlier than he did.
On such a grassland where forces are mixed, once a dispute arises, there will inevitably be a situation where the big fish eats the small fish. To stabilize, only when this situation reaches a relative balance can peace be possible.
Therefore, the premise of peace is that disputes produce results. This has been the case throughout human history. In such a chaotic situation, disputes may be a good medicine. Peace will only appear when the disputes are over.
"I'll just tell you Jade, we are producing weapons in large quantities and we can cooperate."
Jed took a sip of wine, looked at Allen blankly, and then laughed.
“Collaboration is based on trust Alan.”
"Whether you believe me or not, all I do is to protect myself. If you don't take it, others will take it. That's the reason. If you want to survive better and longer
, it is necessary to make a decision.”
Jed lowered his head, looking a little depressed, because he still hoped that everyone could talk peacefully. There were many things that could be discussed, but just like Allen said, such an idea was too childish.
Jed was very aware of the cruelty and nature of the dispute, so he unconsciously allowed his men to do something. It was not Allen who was destroying the balance, but everyone was destroying the balance.
Mineral deposits, water, and electricity have now become points of contention.
Everyone hopes that this will be established as soon as possible, and that they will be able to share more after the fruits are obtained. Many recent conversations have been about expanding some things, because everyone wants to get more and no one is willing to suffer.
After the construction is completed, the distribution of water sources, mineral deposits and electric energy will not be determined by the gods, but the so-called negotiations between various groups.
Some small gangs have begun to join forces, and each leader is trying to win over some gangs.
Because at this time, everyone agrees that I should receive corresponding remuneration for my hard work, but this remuneration is a bottomless pit.
"It's time to make a decision. Our two territories are 20 kilometers apart, but within this 20-kilometer area, there are hundreds of gangs, large and small, among which there are three largest gangs. You know what I mean."
"Once it really opens up, we'll eat all the gangs within 20 kilometers first, right?"
Allen laughed, raised his glass and took a sip with Jade.
War is inevitable. Once the gods return to the mountains and forests, the situation will soon escalate, because there are no rules in this land. No rules means chaos. Everything must be suppressed before it can be established.
Establish a set of rules and order.
"We can build a country within these 20 kilometers instead of letting this chaos continue, right?"
Jed nodded. After thinking about it, it was most beneficial to cooperate with Allen. Many other leaders were unable to cooperate in Jed's eyes.
"Cheers to our future."
Allen held up the wine glass in his hand, and Jed stood up. After the two toasted, Jed asked.
"What are you going to do?"
To be continued...
