Darkness is Coming: Chapter 195 Parliament and Poker

In the blink of an eye, Jiangxin Island spent a week in a tense atmosphere of comprehensive preparations for the war. The male barracks and the heavy cavalry battalion embarked on their journey as scheduled, and more than 600 heavily armed corpse hunters left Jiangxin Island with them. . The corpse hunters on Jiangxin Island were only in their early seventies, and most of them chose to accompany them on the expedition.

   When the mighty fleet set sail, a small ferry on the shore quietly followed behind, and it looked inconspicuous. No one knew that the top leader of the Far Rescue Society was sitting on this tattered ferry.

   Yu Qian frowned and stared at Yang Xiaoqian with closed eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Yang Xiaoqian's travel arrangement. After staring for a while, he found that Yang Xiaoqian had no response, and Yu Qian asked, "Is it just the two of us?"

Hearing this tough tone, Yang Xiaoqian opened his eyes and asked with a smile, "Not satisfied? When you do things, safety and security are the first things. Why do you need to make a lot of noise when you travel far to make everyone know it? Don't you forget it? , Yang Yuechen's gang of lunatics don't know where to hide."

   "I have no opinion on being low-key." Yu Qian said, "but why are we the only two who go? There are so many awakened people in the far rescue, why didn't they leave?"

"They each have their own tasks. Fang Yu, Xu Le, Tang Tao and the others have taken away most of their cutting-edge combat power. They must leave some people behind to guard the rear. What if an uninvited guest comes to the door?" Yang Xiaoqian seems to have found Yu Qian half a year ago. Feeling of feeling, he replied with a smile, "We are far away to save the conference, and the two of us are enough to represent all the awakened people in the conference."

   "How can the two of us suppress the awakened ones from other forces?" Yu Qian was still dissatisfied with Yang Xiaoqian's explanation.

"It's getting harder and harder to convince you, or are you more willing to think independently now?" Yang Xiaoqian shrugged and said, "First of all, you have to believe in our strength. Aside from the 258 Brigade and the corpse, other people live independently. We can knock it over with just one hand. Secondly, this time we are really going to form a parliament.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that we will form an interest negotiation group with other awakened people in a peaceful posture. It is not impossible to force them to obey by force, but such a parliament will not go long. And, if we do that, we will wait until the dome disappears. On that day, we went to the opposite side of many people, will the country be happy to see a group of superpowers that cannot be controlled?"

   "I didn't understand, please make it simpler."

"Okay, let's make an analogy. Assuming that the number of votes in the Awakened Council is ten, divided by the number and strength of the Awakened, we, the 258 brigade, the front finger of the corpse, and the rest of the settlements have five votes, three votes, and two votes. If We can form a council of awakened people and let everyone sit at a table to negotiate. With five votes, we can still decide the direction of the situation, but if we want to make certain decisions that are not in their interests, we must make certain decisions. Make concessions and get votes in the hands of others. In other words, we will divide the pie of interest among them to pass the decisions we want.”

"If we want to go our own way, they really can't do anything about us, and it's not impossible for us to create a dictatorship, but such a model will never go long. Because in the eyes of others, we monopolize most of the interests, leaving them with no interests. Like It is a game of cards on a table. We have a good hand as soon as we sit down, and we don't give others a chance to play cards at all, and others are unwilling to continue playing. But if the voting system is strictly implemented, no matter the strength of the Awakened in the parliament No matter what, the votes in his hand will benefit him, and then he will continue to play and be enthusiastic about the game."

   "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." Yu Qian lowered his head and pondered, seemingly understanding but not understanding.

"Then think about it from another position. Suppose you are not the vice-chairman of the Yuanjiao Association, but an Awakened from an independent settlement. You don't have strong strength. At this time, you are in power and turn the parliament into a one-word Yuanjiao Association. If you want to implement a certain institutional measure, which may not be in your interests, but your fist will be big if you don’t save it from afar, you can only give in, will you hold resentment?”

   "Of course." Yu Qian nodded without hesitation, which is human nature.

   "If someone else intervenes at this time, let me tell you that the Yuanjiu Association is a bastard. Let's join forces to fight against them. Would you consider resisting the Yuanjiu Association?"

"should be."

"Yes, you will definitely consider it, because this card has nothing to do with you, you will never be a winner, you are boring, of course you want to flip the table. Then the other way around. If the Council of the Awakened does not stand alone, Yuanjian will not be an independent family. A big overlord is just a member with more power. When Yuanjiao Association wants to implement a certain measure, you have the right to vote against it. If Yuanjiao Association wants to achieve its goals, it must pay the price to make you compromise and give You have enough interests for you to vote in favor, or abstain from voting. Would you still be disgusted by the Far Rescue Association?"

   "Maybe... not?" Yu Qian's tone was hesitant.

"Well. At this time, we will consider other forces, the 258 Brigade, the front finger of the corpse, and other settlements. Everyone holds their own votes, which can be used to exchange interests. Then no matter who proposes the content of the parliament's deliberations, Regardless of whether it is related to you or not, you will care and participate, because your votes will generate value for you. You will gradually realize that as long as you make the right choices, you can also be a winner in this game. At this time, suddenly Someone who doesn't belong to this card table came to tell you that saving from afar would not be a good thing, stop playing with them, and flip his table with me, will you agree?"

   "No!" Yu Qian's eyes brightened and he responded decisively.

"Yes, of course you won't, because at this time you are also a vested interest. Anyone who wants to overturn the table will be unable to live with your interests, and you must exclude him." Yang Xiaoqian applauded Yu Qian's patiently thinking performance. Impatiently dropped "what a mess" and ended the conversation.

"Maintaining this model and constantly improving it, the Awakened Council can go a long way. After the dome dissipates, the country will not be too hostile to the Council. Because the Council itself is not a stubborn iron barrel, but can be divided and disintegrated. Xu Xutuzhi's cake. You said that if you were the ruler, and you found out that a group of Awakeneds with super powers suddenly appeared in your territory, would you be worried? Of course you will be worried and there will be hostility. But if you find that these Awakened people are dissimilar, you can pull a group to fight a group, or use various means to subdue them, will you still think of using an iron fist to take them in your first reaction? Suppression, erasure?"

   "So it is." Yu Qian finally came to a realization, but just nodded, then frowned and asked, "Aren't you fooling me again?"

   "Haha." Yang Xiaoqian leaned forward and backward with a smile, "Even if I wanted to fool you, I'm always right, right?"

   "That's true." Yu Qian asked again, "But in this way, if the benefits are to be distributed to them, wouldn't there be losses in our benefits?"

"First, profit is like money, it won't increase if you keep it in your arms, but it will create more if you let it go. Your idea is like 'there is so much money in the world, the more you earn, the more money others earn. It's stupid to say that "the less". Secondly, I use the card game as an analogy to parliament. Although it is rough and superficial, the essence is correct. Think about it, on a table playing cards, Liu Yuanzhou and I are on one side, do you think the other Does anyone have a chance to beat us?"

"Definitely not." Yu Qian imitated Yang Xiaoqian's usual posture and shrugged his shoulders, "But didn't you say you want to give other people a chance to be the winner, so that they will be willing to continue playing and keep this table for you? ?"

   "Yeah, it's not a conflict. They do have a chance to win, but it's not us who won."

   Looking at Yang Xiaoqian's inscrutable smile, Yu Qian thought about it for a long time and suddenly woke up.
