"Since we don't have any objections, let's just settle it."
The familiar conference room in the courtyard still houses those "shareholders".
Lu Ping'an announced matters related to "ascending to the gods", leaving others stunned.
"What's going on? Everyone has barely reached the rules level, and you are considering becoming a god?"
"What the hell is going on with gods?"
"Meow? The meeting is over, meow. Is it time to eat, meow?"
Except for a certain guy who was out of shape from beginning to end, at least most people were frightened by the news about Guan Xinxian.
And Mr. Lu didn't hide anything. He had clearly stated the ins and outs and various gains and losses.
"Generally speaking, we need to increase investment and bind our interests to a deeper level in this world."
After finalizing the strategic goal of ascending to the gods, we need to do various tasks and invest additional money. Lu Ping An is no longer just one person, nor is a team just playing around based on personal will.
As a holder of the "fair trade" rule, Lu Pingan has always felt that if he wants to go all the way, in addition to normal friendships, alliances and other personal relationships, "common interests" are the foundation and "common ideals" are the pursuit.
In order for Guan Xinxian's idea of becoming a god to be realized, the matter itself must bring sufficient benefits to the team and members.
"After increasing investment, we may need to operate in this world for a long time. Unlike the previous hosting of Green Planet, the amount of benefits we can obtain depends entirely on our own operations, which also means the expansion of our organization."
This time, two "newcomers" were invited to the internal shareholders' meeting.
"Hello everyone, long time no see. Anyway, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Please look at the people who are in the same boat and be more friendly and tolerant towards this troubled world and the Changshou clan."
Lu Ping'an's disciple and the general marshal of the Salvation Army, Lu Lu, is sitting here generously.
"It seems that I have become a triple agent. Forget it. No matter, there will soon be a large number of people spreading phosphorus. The gods of spreading phosphorus will enter this world. I will try to contact them. Considering my reputation and bloodline, I should be able to mix.
It’s pretty good.”
Wang Xi'er sighed. She didn't know whether getting on this ship was a good thing or a bad thing. As an "ordinary person" who didn't pursue power or advancement, she actually had no interest in the courtyard, but when faced with Lu Ping'an's invitation,
There seemed to be no turning back for her.
Seeing the two "newcomers" making introductions, Lu Ping'an nodded before speaking.
"The 'shares' of these two are divided by me personally. They will not be with us most of the time, but they still have their own forces and will be our firm allies."
Since he planned to run this place, Lu Pingan naturally began to win over his natural ally Lu Lu, who is the general marshal and powerful force of the Salvation Army. She will occupy an important position in the new native country.
And Wang Xi'er, the "princess", will inevitably become a high-ranking member of the arriving Phosphorus Spreaders (kingdom).
"Our territory is centered around commerce, industry, and agriculture. We don't have too many military forces. On the contrary, the arms business will be our main business."
Two days ago, when Lu Ping'an first arrived, the locals called him "Governor Lu". This was actually not a coincidence.
I don't know who dug this old-era title "Governor" out of the trash can of history, but because it was too fitting for this age of interstellar navigation, it gradually became the collective name for this kind of "local warlord leader".
As for Lu Ping'an's current situation, he has seven large islands, three-digit small islands, and more than 30 cities (including small towns with a population of several thousand). It is difficult to count the actual territory under his control (there are undersea areas and residents
), but the resident population in Canada is at least one million.
He is the highest authority in this area. Let alone morality and law, his will is the local law and his expectations will be the local morality.
"Reducing conventional military strength does not mean that there is no combat capability. On the contrary, the soldiers we train can go to the front line as mercenaries. The Salvation Army and the Phosphorus Spreaders will provide convenience when the time comes."
In a sense, this is also the root cause of Lu Ping An's choice of Lu Lu and Wang Xi'er's deep interest bundling.
The development trend of this world is becoming more and more obvious. The three major local forces are the "Eastern People", the "Phosphorus Spreaders" and the "Aborigines". Under the pressure of external wars, the three parties are destined to cooperate with each other for a long time.
Rather than having problems and getting headaches again, Lu Ping'an hoped to make preparations in advance for Wang Xi'er. Lu Lu had a good relationship with him originally, and he would spend resources and connections at all costs to help them climb higher in their respective powers.
This is a long-term investment, but Lu Ping An feels it is quite necessary.
"We are always a chamber of commerce. Regular troops may only be maintained up to public security standards, but the quality of war mercenaries cannot be low."
Reducing the armed threat to neighbors is obviously a good thing for a small, neutral commercial country.
As for whether the local area really has no self-protection force. On this battlefield with gods, "nuclear warheads" will really be thrown out. The existence of Lu Ping'an's high-level combat force group is the greatest security guarantee.
"Your Excellency Xiuyi and I, Admiral Su Nan said that our territory will use its products and resources as war taxes."
While Lu Pingping was busy, the world did not stop. On the contrary, with the arrival of reinforcements, many things began to change completely.
The forces of the Linnv Church have finally received the long-awaited reinforcements, but those who spread phosphorus will not fill in the lines as soon as they arrive. They will give priority to occupying land for development.
The corruption situation on the front has improved significantly, but it is because of the official intervention of the Eastern Kingdom.
What came was a general and a strategic staff. Their total number was less than thirty, but they were actually improving the war situation.
There is no other reason. They represent the Dongguo official. Since your Linnv church forces have asked Dongguo to intervene, the command staff has come over. It is basic to listen to the arrangements.
It is also their joining that greatly alleviates the current situation where the front lines are all trying to clear their way.
The other part, that is, the "finance/civil affairs" department from Dongguo who was at the rear, began to integrate the various spheres of influence of Dongguo.
The first thing is to start collecting "war taxes" from the governors of the safe zones in the rear. While enjoying the security and development space, you should at least provide support to your colleagues on the front line.
In most cases, this "tax" will be paid in the form of mercenaries, slaves, militiamen, and other fill-in-the-line babies. After all, human life is the least valuable thing in the world, and there is always a shortage of cannon fodder on the front line.
Of course, in name, they are all "reputable mercenary groups fighting for their own world." When Lu Ping'an heard about it, he was almost laughed outright.
But let alone receiving the "war tax", it is already a favor given to the Dongguo command by all the separatist forces. If it is really true, it is meaningless. God knows what reasons they will find to refuse the tax, at least for now.
The general headquarters apparently has no objections.
What can probably be done is to give them basic training and weapons so that they are not really meaningless.
"For the general headquarters, integrating these scattered groups is a hell of a job, especially since each of them has nuclear warheads."
The existence of high-level professionals has always been a reality. The "loyalty" of these lords is linked to the profits they can make in the territory. Now they don't feel it is worth fighting for.
While other forces were busy exploding troops or frantically scraping away territory, Lu Ping An was adjusting its long-term development plan.
He is not in a hurry to discuss things like gods. He needs the support of big forces, at least until the reinforcements arrive and the Salvation Army's kingdom is established before it can really start.
"We are a commercial city, and our first task is to do logistics. Since there are always people who want to make war fortune, why not us. We are not in a hurry to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Let's make the country rich first."
