Chapter 154: The Momentum Is Unstoppable.
The Gunslinger was of course quite dissatisfied with my words, but the problem was that he knew the situation very well, and there was no difference from what I said. In other words, the situation was forcing him to do so, and he had no choice at all. Of course, he also has a choice, but all he can choose is to either cooperate and swallow his anger and reap some benefits, or completely break up and lose the dominance of the US region.
If the Paladin is the only large-scale guild in the United States, then I believe that the Gun God will definitely not let me go this time, and will launch a very vicious retaliation. Although this attack on Essinger Mobile Fortress is already a very bad act, I know that this is not actually the entire plan of the Gunslinger, but he himself also knows his situation, so he does not dare to use it all.
Currently, all countries that do not have a dominant guild or a ruling guild are engaged in guild merger wars, with the goal of determining their own country's dominant guild or ruling guild as soon as possible. The United States is currently in this stage, so the Holy Spear Alliance needs to concentrate its efforts to stand out as soon as possible in this domestic war for hegemony and become its own regional hegemon. However, if it starts a war with our Frost Rose Alliance at this time, There is no need to even think about the result. Regardless of whether the Holy Lance Alliance is our opponent of the Frost Rose Alliance, even if our Frost Rose Alliance has continuous accidents and is miraculously killed by the Holy Lance Alliance, the price the Holy Lance Alliance itself will have to pay will be very terrifying. of. Once all the strength of the Holy Spear Alliance is consumed in foreign wars, they will inevitably face a serious crisis during internal fighting, and will eventually be eliminated and become vassals of other guilds or be directly merged.
The Gunslinger is not the kind of person who is willing to attack others, he is very strong. Therefore, he will definitely not allow the Paladin to become a vassal of other guilds or even be annexed. Therefore, what he can do is to strive for greater benefits and reduce losses for the Paladin during this period.
The Paladin's attack on Russia this time was actually due to the need for this kind of guild merger war. Because the United States is different from other areas, it is a highly developed area, so it lacks that kind of original resource points. Although the safety factor of this environment is higher, it is not easy for monsters to attack the city. But such an environment in the game is actually not a good thing, because only more monsters can bring greater benefits. Moreover, according to the consistent style of "Zero", any undeveloped area will have an additional map bonus when a player enters it for the first time. This kind of thing is found in all maps. It's just a matter of degree and type.
Generally speaking, in environments with native creatures, the first player or player group to arrive will usually receive a favorability bonus from the local native creatures, which means that the hostility of local residents towards you is very low. Also, the various resources and treasures in the undeveloped areas have not been touched. So these things are not only dense. And the grade is high. Compared to the relics and ruins that have been dug up and turned over countless times, there are simply too many things that can be found on these new maps.
Precisely because these undeveloped areas have many benefits, the United States, which lacks undeveloped areas, can actually be said to have a poorer environment. The distribution of guilds in the United States is relatively poor, with multiple large guilds of similar strength. This situation should have been an advantage before, but now it has become a trouble. Because there are many large guilds and their strength is close, no one dares to take action easily until the final battle, for fear that they will become a snipe and a clam and let others become a fisherman. The result is that the atmosphere is obviously very tense, but in fact the frequency of internal fighting in the United States has dropped recently, which feels a bit like the calm before the storm.
If you don't dare to mess around internally, you can only find a breakthrough from the outside. These American guilds cannot start a war prematurely, so they can only find some benefits from the outside to supplement themselves and make themselves stronger as soon as possible. Since we have to find benefits from places other than other guilds, there are only two directions. One is to find trouble with monsters, and the other is to find trouble with foreign guilds. Let’s not talk about monsters. The United States has been developed too thoroughly, so there is not much oil and water that can be squeezed out of monsters. So the Paladin finally chose the Russian guild.
Although Russia was chosen as the breakthrough point, the gunman was not stupid. He knew that fighting against external guilds would also result in the loss of one's own strength, causing one's side to lose in subsequent battles for hegemony. Therefore, the way he chose to fight was not to fight with the Russians to grab supplies, but to grab technical data like us.
The snatching of technical data is different from the snatching of physical resources, because these technical data are small in size compared to physical resources, and can be taken away all at once, and do not require time to mine. Therefore, as long as there is enough space equipment, only It only takes a few people to complete the robbery. This kind of thing is more like gang theft than war, which is much smaller in terms of resource consumption and risk factor. Moreover, once successful, technical information can be quickly converted into combat effectiveness, and the improvement is considerable. A physical material can only be used as one being, but a technology can be used for many things, and can even improve the entire guild.
Of course, the Holy Spear Alliance wouldn't mind taking a little risk to do this kind of good thing with low investment, low risk and high return rate. In fact, they finally did it, and they almost succeeded, but they didn't expect to be intercepted by our Frost Rose Alliance halfway. That's why the Gunslinger was so angry that he almost lost his mind and fell out with us.
However, although he almost lost control of his emotions, the gunman was not Nobunaga. He finally stabilized his emotions and made the right choice. He understands that we have already obtained the things, and it is impossible for him to steal them from us again. As for robbing the Russian research base again... there is basically no possibility of that kind of thing. Unless the Russians have collective amnesia, how could they not strengthen the supervision of technical data? Therefore, it is completely meaningless to consider this kind of thing now.
Since the Russian technology cannot be obtained, the Holy Spear Alliance must definitely find something to make up for it elsewhere. After all, although the investment in the Russian operation is not large, it is an action after all. If there is no benefit at all, then This time the Holy Spear Alliance suffered huge losses. So the Gunslinger is very confused now. Emotionally speaking, he can't wait to rush up to me and fight to the death, but intellectually speaking, what he should do most is to humble himself and get close to me, and then try to find a way to get preferential policies and so on, try to find them from Russia. Go back with some benefits.
After struggling for a long time, the gunman finally made up his mind and took a deep breath. "Now that you've said that, it seems there's nothing good if I don't agree. Then I'm responsible for this incident. I will follow the rules."
Of course I can't be aggressive when the gun god is submissive. As the so-called peace brings wealth, although our Frost Rose Alliance is not a business group, we sometimes have to fight with others, but when we are engaged in construction, it is almost the same as running a company. We cannot be angry with others. As long as it is beneficial, even if it is the enemy's business. You have to find a way to get in, so that you can really make money.
"Happy cooperation." Looking at the stiff-faced Gunslinger, I smiled and stretched out a hand. Compared with him, I felt much more relaxed. Anyway, as the planners of this operation, we are sure to make a profit without losing anything. (To be continued...)
