Chapter 738: Only One Man
Faced with this question, Roland was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "You seem to have something else to say?"
"Because the survival of all is at stake, we want every decision to be fully considered, so ...... Tachira proposes the introduction of a joint system of co-governance. "In a united front, orders are issued by the heads of the most powerful groups through consultation, which can effectively avoid misjudgment and ensure that the interests of all parties are aligned.www.biquge.info 」
"Hmm...... It sounds like the federation's three-seat system. ”
"The third is an appropriate number that strikes a good balance between the speed of decision-making and the uniformity of decision-making. Of course, considering that the four kingdoms are today, plus the witch organization, it doesn't necessarily have to be decided with three seats. For example, in the early days of the Federation, a round table council composed of eleven leaders drew up the battle plan. The Old Witch explained.
This is undoubtedly a clever consideration, Roland thought to himself, except for the Neverwinter family, neither the rest of the Human Kingdom, nor the Witch League nor the Sleeping Isle can form an advantage over the Taqira survivors in terms of strength. Those hundred or so Perfect Divine Punishment Army did not seem to be many, and when faced with ordinary armies and witches, their combat effectiveness was almost overwhelming. In addition, they have fought fiercely with the devil for decades, they can be said to have rich combat experience, and they have inherited the magical relics of the underground civilization, so they can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with.
If they are arranged according to their strength, they will inevitably be able to occupy a seat at the decision-making level, and then as long as they maintain communication with other witch organizations and strengthen their natural sense of identity, they can ensure Tachira's own interests.
They may not have done much more, such as restoring the dominance of witches, or turning against the human kingdom, but simply a cautious act of self-preservation, which is what almost any organization would have before joining a large group. Roland might have agreed when he first arrived, but now he was no longer the fourth prince who had just taken over as lord and only ruled a small frontier town.
"Interesting proposal, but the united front will not implement a system of co-governance. There will only be one person at its leader, and that is me. "This is the most efficient and stable way to do it." ”
Humility is a virtue, but now is definitely not the time for humility – the three-seat co-governance may be a good choice for the Federation, but it is not the case for him.
In this world, only he understands what industrialization entails and how to do it to bring out the full potential of his territory.
In order to build this framework, all departments have to become a unified machine, a qualified screw. Orders from the town hall must be sent unimpeded to each citizen, and resources need to be coordinated and allocated. If all policies have to explain why to other seats, or to convince those whose interests are at stake, industrialization will not be able to move forward in a big way.
Probably because his refusal was too direct, the scene became silent for a while, and even the ancient witches were stunned, and they didn't answer a word for a long time.
Roland cleared his throat and continued methodically, "The united front is indeed a safeguard against the devil, but I didn't ask you to join in the first place. Moving to the Westside is only a foundation for trust, and I would like you to see for yourself more than these verbal agreements......"
"Look...... What?"
"Neverwinter's strength and determination against the Devil, and the interests and status quo of those organizations who have joined us, or not. On the basis of full understanding, you are free to choose. "Even if we can't make up our minds, we can still cooperate at the most basic level, such as finding the chosen one, providing test items for a fee, and so on, but we don't interfere with each other in terms of policy." ”
"Even if we don't give you the relics and mana cores?" Cylene chimed in.
"All the same," Roland nodded, "In fact, I never intended to defeat the devil with the contents of the ruins, and as for the relics of the gods, as long as they are placed in a safe place for both parties, I can accept them." As I said before, finding the chosen one and keeping the relics safe is the most basic trust. As for other things, we can cultivate them slowly. ”
"I admit that you are extraordinary, mortal," the cold voice from before reappeared in everyone's minds, "but have you ever thought that being in charge of the united front alone means that there is no room for replacement? In the unlikely event that the war of divine will lasts for decades, when you are no longer energetic, will your children and grandchildren be able to follow your will and continue to lead everyone forward?
"I don't think you need to worry about this, not to mention whether the devil has no way to support me for that long, I'm afraid my lifespan will be longer than all of you combined. Roland didn't know if Jieluo's lifespan would be inherited to him, after all, the magic power was not preserved, but at the moment he felt the need to bluff. Rather than convincing the other party with a system that has never been heard of to convince the other party that the will of the successor will remain unchanged, it is better to explain everything directly with unbelievable abilities.
After briefly explaining the characteristics and experiences of the "Soul Battlefield", and the unanimous certification of many witches, the parlor fell into a longer silence.
He saw that the tentacles of the sarcoma were entangled again, and the scales on his body turned from grayish-brown to brownish-red, and it was clear that the debate had entered its most intense stage.
It took a while for the tentacles to fall.
"I see," Pasha's voice was much heavier, "but there are too many things to carry in the ruins, and they can't fit in a single cave, so this process will take about a month. In addition, we need to rebuild the dungeon and laboratory in the Westland Mountains, and we hope you can help with some materials. 」
"Wait, how are you going to do this?" Roland was a little surprised, at first he planned to let Lotus connect the countless round holes in the ground, and give them a simple place to stay. After all, it is dark and damp underground, and the transformed bodies of the Taqira remnants do not belong to the category of human beings, so they should not have too many requirements for the accommodation environment. But it seems that the other party has more amazing means of civil engineering, and plans to build a new palace in the mountain rock?
"It can be done by devouring worms," Pasha explained, "it's a large shell similar to a brute, and there is exactly one in the ruins, and it's the shell we relied on to infiltrate Dawn's Glow. 」
