Chapter 46: Difficult Land Exchange Plan

"I finally thought about it. If the Indians attack us, we will inevitably have to fight back, and the counterattack will inevitably cause casualties. These two points are inevitable contradictions and cannot be undone, but the previous inference is wrong."

"Previous inference?" Hongyue looked at me in confusion, not knowing what I was talking about.

"That's the inference I mentioned that the Indians will definitely attack us. Although the emergence of enemy cities in our country will indeed lead to a group of domestic players to attack them, this is not certain, and in fact, the process can be 'fucked' The creative nature is very big.”

"Can it be manipulated? Why do I get more confused the more you talk about it?"

"This is actually very simple. First of all, we must consider India's national conditions. Remember the three major countries in the world with the weakest will to fight?"

"Sure, India, France, Italy."

"Yes. As large countries, the people of these three countries are most afraid of death when fighting. Of course, conversely, it can also be said that the people of these three countries are the most 'peace-loving'. Therefore, we invade India and invade other countries. The situation in China will be different, and the resistance of Indian players will not be as strong as in other countries."

"But even if their resistance is not strong, they will not fight back?" Hongyue asked.

"Yes, they will indeed fight back, but relatively speaking, their enthusiasm for fighting back will be much lower. At least they don't have the Japanese consciousness of either you die or I live, and this creates the possibility for our negotiations. .”

"But even if the Indians don't really want to fight us, at least they won't watch us take advantage of them, right?"

"Of course, but since they are not determined to die, the Indians will not confront us head-on, at least not until they are 'forced' to the point of having no other way out. Our establishment of cities on Indian soil is equivalent to Invading Indian land is tantamount to forcing Indians to a dead end, because any reduction in land area is absolutely intolerable. But...can we tear down the eastern wall to make up for the western wall?"

"ah?"

"Remember there is a small country sandwiched between China and India?"

"You mean Nepal?"

"That's right."

Hongyue suddenly guessed what I meant. "Do you want to sacrifice Nepal to play land swap with the Indians?"

"As expected of my Vice President, you are so smart!"

"Are you praising me or yourself? You came up with the solution!"

"Haha, regardless of this, do you think this method is feasible?"

"It's hard to say. From the general point of view of the country, it's definitely not possible, but Indians... it's really hard to say! After all, I'm not an Indian. Their way of thinking and values ​​are different from ours. Maybe it seems to us that Even if they don’t tolerate something that they don’t think is a big deal, they may not!”

"Hey, since you said so, I'm going to try it."

As I said this, I was about to leave. Hongyue quickly shouted from behind: "Hey, what should I do if you leave?"

Although I heard Hongyue's shouting, I didn't stop. I just said from a distance: "Isn't there still you?" and ran away.

Hongyue was so angry with me that she jumped up and down, but she was angry because she was angry, but she had nothing to do with me, so she had to turn around and direct the city construction. As for me, I had already run several kilometers away. Riding a flying bird and rushing into the inner region of India at maximum speed, I soon discovered the goal of this trip - Kata.

Kata is only a medium-sized city, but its significance in India is extraordinary, because it is actually the first and currently the largest city built by players in India. It's weird to say that Indian players are a little different from players in other countries in terms of development. They don't seem to like building their own cities, but they are very keen on establishing guild bases in NPC cities. In other countries, the initial system main cities are basically controlled by players, and some countries even have no independent cities controlled by NPCs. However, India is just the opposite. Not only are almost all the initial system cities still alive, but they have also changed. It is bigger than before, and there are even many new cities. On the contrary, there are not many player cities. I personally think this may have something to do with the character of Indians. Even for matters such as national independence that require bloodshed, they can launch a non-violent non-cooperation movement. You can imagine how "peace-loving" Indians are. Got it! In view of the bizarre way in which the Indian national independence movement progressed, it is not surprising that Indian players did not invade system cities.

I came to Kata now mainly because I wanted to talk to several major forces in India. Although Kata is only a small city, this city has the headquarters of several of the most important large-scale guilds in India. Are you surprised to hear this news? How is it possible that the headquarters of large guilds share the same city? In fact, this is what Indians do, and miraculously they have managed to survive until now.

When I reached the sky above Kata, I retrieved the bird, then spread my wings and floated down from the sky. The Indians below didn't notice me at first, and no one noticed me until I slowly landed on top of the huge lotus sculpture in the city center.

"It's Ziri!" With the first cry, chaos quickly broke out below. I felt like the god of plague. Almost everyone below was running around in panic. It took a long time before an organized team appeared and surrounded me. As one of the most important cities in India, the defense here is really nothing to say!

"Ziri, how dare you come to Kata!" A guy who was obviously the leader of the people coming down shouted at me.

"Is there any danger here? Why should I dare not come?" I deliberately angered the guy below.

"Hmph, I won't quarrel with you. Are you going to leave on your own or let us kill you?"

"Kill me? Hahahaha..." I stood on top of the lotus and laughed exaggeratedly. "This is the funniest joke I've heard today. If you don't want this place to turn into ruins, find someone who can keep his word. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Hmph!" Although he was angry, the guy didn't dare to lead anyone to charge forward in the end. Now more than half of the people in the game know me. Although they all know that I am relatively strong in combat, except for a few experts who are also very powerful, ordinary players rarely have the courage to challenge me. Even if they have the courage to challenge, Not many people think they can win. Of course, the above situation is only based on normal-minded people. After all, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and I have encountered a lot of trash who don't know the height of the sky. However, the one in front of him was obviously not one of them. He still knew how much he weighed.

The guy was so angry that he was so efficient that he quickly found their boss. The person who came this time also brought a large group of followers behind him. Looking at the equipment, you can tell that they are not ordinary players. Since the equipment in "Zero" is basically classified according to its value, the better the equipment, the more gorgeous the appearance, so the average player can understand the level of the things they wear at a glance. In addition, since generally powerful players have better equipment, the appearance of the equipment can also roughly determine the player's combat effectiveness. After all, players who are powerful are more likely to obtain good equipment than those who are not. , and good equipment itself is also an important part of personal strength, so this method of distinguishing combat effectiveness based on the gorgeousness of equipment is basically accurate.

"I thought my subordinates were joking with me! I didn't expect it was really you!" The guy who took the lead walked to the edge of the square and started to shout loudly, and the people around him looked nervous when they saw me. As if I would rush down and kill them all at any time!

"I'm not a terrorist. Tell your subordinates not to be so nervous! In fact, I'm here to negotiate today, but I'm afraid you can't make the decision on this matter alone. You need a group of people who can represent the entire India to negotiate with me."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"After I told you alone, I have to tell other Indian representatives again, so I hope to explain it clearly again when people arrive. Can you summon representatives from major guilds in India?"

The guy lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I can call everyone to meet with you, but I have no control over whether other guilds will come."

"That's enough."

I don’t know if it was because of my reputation or the popularity of the guy who went to call people, but it was surprisingly easy to call people in. In just over an hour in total, the presidents and principals of several major guilds and some scattered small guilds in India were all present. Except for the president of one medium-sized guild who was not online. Not bad at all.

We ended up temporarily borrowing the guild meeting room of a nearby guild to conduct negotiations. As soon as the door to the conference room closed, an impatient person couldn't help shouting. "Okay, we are all here now. You should tell us what you are here to talk about, right?"

The president of another guild also continued: "I heard that your guild is invading our country. Now we can be considered at war. What do you want to talk about when you come to us at this time?"

"In fact, what I want to talk about is about this battle." I said before anyone spoke: "You must all think that I am an intruder now, so you are very angry, right?"

"snort……!"

"Although no one answered, the nasal sound showed that my guess was correct. But... things are not as simple as you think." After seeing their eyes waiting for the next step, I continued: "On the surface, it seems that it is me. The guild invaded your country, but in fact we had no choice but to do so!"

"Hmph! Is the invasion still unavoidable?"

"Normally, no means there will never be. But in my current situation, I have no choice but to do so."

"Okay, we want to hear what you have to do."

Next, I briefly explained the things about Buddhism and Heaven. During this period, several presidents of Indian guilds asked some questions. After my explanation, they finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"...The above is what happened. That's why I came here."

"But even if we understand your difficulties, we are the party being invaded. You can't ask the person who was robbed to hand over the money because the robber is so poor that he is about to starve to death, right?" What this guy said sounds like it at first glance. It seemed very tactful at first, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that he was actually scolding me.

"That's not what I meant. I am here to discuss with you how to solve the current problems."

"With President Ziri's intelligence, I'm afraid he already has a solution, right?"

"I can't be fooled by my cleverness, but I did prepare a solution." I said, "touching" behind me. Who knew there was a sudden crash below, and all the presidents stood up and pulled out their weapons. "Don't be so nervous, right?" I said and 'touched' a flat metal object from behind in slow motion. After placing the thing on the table and pressing it lightly, the metal cake immediately separated to both sides to reveal the crystal core in the middle. A beam of light shot out from the core and displayed a light beam more than one meter above the table. A map of the China-India border and surrounding areas. After seeing the function of this thing, the presidents put away their weapons, picked up their chairs and sat back down. Before He Zhe, they had been on guard, thinking that I was going to kill them all! I didn't react to their reactions, I just did my own thing. I pointed to one of the places and clicked. "Here is where our new city will be built. Once it is built, then..." I drew another curve below that point. "The area north of this line will be included in Chinese territory, and the most important thing is that here, the Great Leiyin Temple will also be included in Chinese territory. At that time, Heaven and Buddhism can fight in the name of domestic gods. Now that the war has officially begun, there will be nothing left for me to do."

"You are okay, what about our country?"

"Well said. The key to my solution is right here." I pointed to another location on the map.

"Nepal?"

"That's right." I continued: "I occupied your territory, so you will suffer a loss. So if I help you occupy a piece of land in Nepal that is larger than the area I delimited from India, you won't Isn’t it a loss? How about it? Are you satisfied with my land replacement method?"

"But will the players in Nepal be willing to give up their land?"

"Of course not, that's why I have to send troops to help you occupy it. I will transfer all the troops currently used to defend the new city to Nepal to reoccupy a city, and then when the city is established, I will transfer it to you for free. , In this way, India’s territory will be expanded. In exchange, you will stop attacking our new city, so that everyone will benefit, isn’t it much better than the current situation where both sides suffer losses? "

"Let me discuss this..."

"Just in time, I'm a little tired. You guys can discuss it first. I'll go to your city to replenish some supplies. After you guys have agreed, send someone to call me." I said and walked out the door without waiting for me to go out. Those guys all gathered together and started discussing, but I was not interested in their discussion, so I just closed the door and walked out.

Although Kata is a small city, its internal structure is very compact, and various shops are evenly distributed. In my opinion, a large city like Essinger is not as good as a small city like Kata, because the city is too big, and many official agencies that can only set up one in a city will be far apart. For example, the straight-line distance between Essinger's temple complex and the Professional Certification Office is almost three kilometers. However, depending on the traffic conditions and the actual direction of the road, the actual distance may reach more than five kilometers. It's okay for a city like Isinger with a large number of teleportation arrays in the city. If an ordinary city were to be as big as Isinger, players would have to run around the city for a whole day just to change jobs, which would tire people to death. Relatively speaking, the compact layout of a small city like Kata makes people feel much more relaxed. Although it is not as majestic as Essinger, and it is still a bit rustic like a small town, it has all the facilities that should be available. It can be said that It's extremely convenient.

I walked all the way along the very Indian-style streets and experienced the exotic customs. I can say that I had a great time, but the group of people following me were miserable. These people were sent by the guild leaders to follow me. On the one hand, they are equivalent to surveillance personnel, and on the other hand, they can play the role of security guards. Of course, they are not protecting me, but protecting ordinary players. After all, we are at war now, and it is inevitable that someone on the road will rush forward when his head gets hot. It's okay if they die on their own, but once I take action, most of the city will suffer. So in order not to give me an excuse to cause trouble, the Indian security guards around me have to run back and forth, and sometimes even have to pull me up. The human wall blocks the flow of people from outside.

The group of Indian guild presidents were very fast. I had been playing outside for less than an hour before they sent someone to call me back, while the "bodyguards" around me let out a collective sigh. .

"Hey! Are you finished discussing?"

One of the temporarily elected representatives sat across from me. "Can you open the map?" I nodded and took out the three-dimensional map before and unfolded it, and the guy immediately clicked on it. "We don't want Nepal, we want here."

I looked at where he was pointing. "Pakistan-occupied Kashmir? How could you even think of wanting this place?"

"Kashmir belongs to us originally. What's wrong with reoccupying it? Besides, you are going to exchange land with us anyway. As long as it is not your own territory, it won't be the same wherever you exchange it."

"The same? How can this be the same? Of course it's different!" This was shouted by Rose. In fact, I have returned to Essinger now, and the previous negotiations with the Indians in Kata have not been finalized. Just like they need to discuss, I also need to discuss. Fortunately, the Indians are not in a hurry now, but these bastards are not easy to save money. Although they did not limit the time for my discussion, they said that the intensity of the attack would not weaken until the final plan was struck down, and they would continue to prepare for war as if there was no such thing as negotiation. I knew something was going to happen when they asked for Kashmir, so I had to run back to discuss it with someone.

"Of course I know it's different. What I want to know now is whether it's worth it compared to buying and selling?"

Eagle looked at the super map projected by the God of War and said, "I'm not familiar with Kashmir. Can you two explain why the two places are different?"

Seeing that everyone else except Su Mei and Hong Yue had "I'm confused" expressions, Rose had no choice but to explain. "I believe everyone is aware of the real-life dispute between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region. As long as you watch the international news, you must have heard about it. However, the real-life situation is not within our scope of consideration. What we have to consider is the in-game situation. Situation. The current Kashmir area is divided into two parts in the game just like in reality. One is the Indian-controlled Kashmir area actually occupied by Indians, and the other is the Pakistan-controlled Kashmir area actually controlled by Pakistan. In the game , the entire Kashmir region is in an unrestricted state, which is a barbaric battlefield with no rules at all. The gods of both sides are not allowed to directly 'meddle' in the affairs of the region, but they can unlimitedly support players to fight here. At the same time, due to the reality Both Indians and Pakistanis believe that Kashmir belongs to their own countries, so the players on both sides are constantly fighting here. It is simply a super arena. But the key to the problem is not actually the ethnic conflict and the actual line of control between the two sides, but here .”

As Rose explained, the map automatically focused on the Kashmir region and marked hundreds of large and small circles on it.

"The circles you see now are all cryolite mines. One-third of the cryolite our bank imports comes from here."

"What?" The place suddenly burst into excitement, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Ice crystals, fire diamonds, poison crystals, and black crystals are also called the four major gems in the system, not because their effects are the most exaggerated, but because they are the gems with the largest production and the most outstanding actual abilities. Blacksmiths and casters of any level can use these four gems to enchant equipment, and equipment inlaid with these four gems has become the most effective and easiest to buy equipment. Various guilds use it in an unusually large amount. If they can master a large amount of this ore, they will definitely gain a lot of wealth and strength.

"Indians are not stupid," said Daguofan.

"Otherwise, why do you think they are fighting with the Pakistanis in Kashmir?"

Eagle asked directly: "Then what are we going to do now? Promise the Indians to help them control Kashmir? Is our contribution too much?"

"This is exactly the problem that troubles me!" I looked around at the people around me: "Tell me your opinions. Are there any good solutions?"
