Chapter 41 Secret Agreement

"We can't let this go any longer."

Jed 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. Today's incident was obviously planned by Allen early in the morning, so they We can no longer remain indifferent.

The leaders are basically aware of the many things Irene has done in the past few months. He is already destroying the balance of the region. It is false that he actively participates in the construction, but it is true that he wants to gain benefits from the construction.

"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 stopped. 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. 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 it, and successfully diverted the crime.

Seeing that the discussion would not lead to any results, 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 solved 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 their 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 the observation tower.

After the lights came on, Allen ordered someone to bring some wine and food.

"It's great here."

Jade nodded, looking at the stars and 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 great 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 any..."

Allen raised his hand to interrupt Jed's words. He didn't 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 the 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. "

Jade angrily grabbed Allen's collar 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 to protect myself and 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 you."

Jed did not refute. Indeed, many of his men did similar things to Allen in order to consolidate their territory, and Jed could only turn a blind eye.

"Many of us can see the future quite clearly. Don't deceive yourself, Jed."

Soon, food and drinks were served, which were dried meat and some dried vegetables.

Allen poured a glass of wine for Jed, and the two drank a sip.

"We have already started breeding here, some wild boars caught from the mountains. Do you think the God Gate will come down to deal with some things personally?"

Jed shook his head.

"It's impossible at the moment."

"It's much easier since you don't know."

Alan stood up and pointed to the grassland in the distance.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is what I understand the gods want."

Jed scratched his head. He heard the words he didn't want to hear the most. I'm afraid that Gene and the others had figured out the problem much earlier than he did.

In this grassland with mixed forces, once a dispute occurs, there will inevitably be a situation where the big fish eat the small fish. If you want to be stable, only when this situation reaches a relative balance can peace appear.

So the premise of peace is that the dispute produces results. This is the history of mankind. In such a chaotic situation, disputes may be a good medicine. Only when the dispute ends, peace will appear.

"I'll say it straight, Jed, we are producing weapons in large quantities, and we can cooperate."

Jed took a sip of wine, looked at Allen in a daze, and then laughed.

"Cooperation is based on trust, Allen."

"Whether you believe me or not, all I do is to protect myself. If you don't take it, others will take it. This is the truth. If you want to survive better and longer, you must make a decision."

Jed lowered his head, looking a little dull, because he still hoped that everyone could talk peacefully, and many things could be discussed, but as Allen said, such an idea was too naive.

Jed knew the cruelty and nature of the dispute, so he unconsciously let his men do something. It was not Alan who was destroying the balance, but everyone was destroying the balance.

Minerals, water, and electricity have now become points of dispute.

Everyone hopes that all this will be established quickly, and they can get more after the fruits are obtained. Many recent conversations have been expanding some things, because everyone wants to get more and no one is willing to suffer losses.

After the construction is completed, the distribution of water, minerals and electricity is not as determined by the gods, but the so-called negotiation between the gangs.

Some small gangs have begun to stand in line, and each leader is trying to win over some gangs.

Because at this time, everyone agrees that I should get corresponding rewards for my labor, but this reward 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 of all sizes, and there are three of the largest gangs. You know what I mean."

"Once the war really starts, we will first eat up all the gangs within this 20-kilometer range, right?"

Alan laughed, raised his glass and drank with Jed.

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, and no rules means chaos. Everything must be suppressed before a set of rules and order can be established.

"We can build a country within this 20-kilometer range instead of letting this chaos continue, right!"

Jed nodded. After thinking about it, it is most beneficial to cooperate with Allen. Many other leaders are uncooperative in Jed's eyes.

"Cheers to our future."

Alan raised the glass in his hand, and Jed stood up. After the two of them toasted, Jed asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"Mines, power plants, and reservoirs are facilities that everyone will inevitably fight for in the future. You have nearly 3,000 people under your command now."

Jed nodded.

"Although I only have 600 to 700 people who can fight, we have been training compared to those mobs. The other large and small gangs add up to at least 20,000 to 30,000 people, which is ten times ours. But one thing to be thankful for is that they will not cooperate."

"You want me to find a way..."

Alan shook his head.

"It's not for you to find a way, but for us to intensify the conflict and let them fight in advance. We can sit back and take everything. Although it sounds despicable, in such an era, despicable is the best way to survive. After taking control of this area, we can build a solid defense line to isolate others."

Jed said after thinking for a moment.

"It's too risky. If we occupy the mines, reservoirs, and power plants, we will be attacked by people on both sides of the east and west."

Alan laughed.

"I've thought about this, but there's a question, have you thought about it?"

Alan said as he walked to the edge of the platform and then laughed.

"What's the situation on the east and west sides?"

Jed seemed to understand, and Alan said directly.

"We are now close to the water and have the best resources. Our accumulation is many times that of theirs. The war is about land, people and materials. We are better than them in these three aspects. Once we integrate everything in this area, we will be able to isolate the threats from both sides."

Jed nodded, and Allen continued.

"If you are worried that when we start to integrate this land, the people on both sides will start to move, you don't have to worry. Their development is far lower than ours. At this time, their only idea is to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Jed hummed.

"Indeed, they will not take such a risk to get involved."

"I have already planted a lot of people in this land. Now what we need to do is to intensify the contradictions in the area between our two families, and at the same time, we can create some contradictions on both sides outside the area, and unite some guys, so that we can quickly take control."

Jed walked to Allen's side and drank a sip with him. The two looked at the grassland in the distance, and Allen said with a smile.

"If there is no bloodshed, there will be no peace on this grassland. Once we control the area and establish a stable country, it will be much better than letting the friction continue."

Alan turned and walked away. He planned to take Jed to see his arsenal. After all, he really planned to cooperate with Jed, because Jed was indeed the best choice. He could not occupy the entire area alone, so he had to find someone to cooperate with.

Alan had contact with many gang leaders, but they were all too fake, only Jed was different.

Soon Jed followed Alan to a cave, and as soon as he entered, Jed smelled a smell of gunpowder.

"Alan said with a smile, we have successfully made some gunpowder. Although the amount is still small now, in the era when cold weapons are about to come, gunpowder can become a thing that determines victory or defeat."

Not only flames, Jed also saw some cold weapons such as crossbows and blade spears.

"I will slowly give you some gunpowder, Jed, we must unite to clean up the chaos on this land."

Jed closed his eyes, thought for a moment and then stretched out his hand.

"I just hope that we won't go to war in the future."

"After taking control of this place, I will still be in the fortress, you can be the actual manager, I just hope for peace. So I don't think you need to worry, after all, we have cooperated several times, right!"
