Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 155 The alliance changes, sharpen the knife!

At the government affairs meeting, Tang Jing was not in a hurry to discuss the specific affairs of the territory.

Not to mention that the two new directors Wei Yang and Xia Yuanji have just arrived in Chang'an, and they are not familiar with the situation in Chang'an. Even the old man Xun Yu was only in charge of the staff affairs before.

Now to take charge of the work of the five divisions of the Administrative Bureau, there must be a process of familiarization and adaptation.

The most important thing is that this time the organizational structure adjustment, except for the new establishment of the Industry and Development Planning Department, the rest are closed upwards. Each department still performs its own duties and does not affect the normal operation of the territory.

There is really no need to rush for a while.

.........

While Chang'an was stepping up to deal with the aftermath, he was sharpening his sword, and the alliance was also not idle.

The crisis is present.

The alliance once again demonstrated unprecedented "great unity".

First of all, it is to use the dual means of "food and grass + household registration" to limit the dissent of players and generals to the greatest extent, and stabilize the foundation for the survival of the coalition forces.

Then he raised 50 coalition troops non-stop, and stepped up deployment on the preset defense line.

in this process.

The most eye-catching thing is the home of Douglas, the current commander of the coalition forces.

The final result was quite surprising. Douglas did not choose those popular provinces or popular lords, but chose to join the deciduous province of Maple Leaf County.

The Fallen Leaf Province is located on the northern border of the alliance, one south and one north with the River Valley Province.

There are four provinces in between.

This means that even Dave, the lord of Maple Leaf County, who wants to influence the coalition forces through Douglas, will be doomed to have little effect because of the geographical distance.

It is equivalent to giving the other lords of the alliance a reassurance.

From this point, it is not difficult to see that "Snow Fox" Douglas's wisdom in dealing with the world, through simple choices, has stabilized the position of the commander of the coalition forces in one fell swoop, and will no longer be challenged by generals such as Rogers.

The "restriction" on player generals is only a remedy for the situation within the alliance.

Summarizing the defeat of this battle, the alliance also realized a serious flaw——

The decision-making and discussion mechanism is too cumbersome and too dishonest.

Everyone has to speak out and have ideas. In fact, it is tantamount to talking to each other. It is completely scattered, making the alliance's decision-making slow and completely unable to meet the needs of the war.

But the cultural genes of the alliance and the reality of "Star World" determined that they could not centralize power.

In the end, after several deliberations, the alliance lords decided to use their best tricks to recommend the establishment of three-level councils of the county, province, and alliance from the bottom up.

Each county elects a representative to serve on the county council.

The county-level council elects a representative to join the provincial council.

The council at the provincial level will elect another representative to join the union council.

Thus forming a three-level decision-making and discussion mechanism.

Major decisions about the coalition forces will be made jointly by the ten members of the council of the coalition + Douglas, commander of the coalition forces, using a voting mechanism in which the minority obeys the majority.

The end result was no surprise.

The ten successfully elected members of the alliance council are basically the top ten lords of the alliance.

No. 1: Pelican County, Grant (Pelican County, River Valley Province)
2nd place: Xihai County, Gail (Xihai Province)
3rd place: Stone County, Bloom (River Valley Province)
4th place: Morgan County, John (Ica Province)
No. 5: Mark County, Mark (Bit Province)
No. 6: Ella County, Eric (Tara Province)

7th place: Liberty County, Felice (Gema Province)

No. 8: Fengyuan County, Bess (Caz Province)
No. 9: Honghu County, Lapei (Great Lakes Province)
No. 10: Maple Leaf County, Dave (Deciduous Province)
No. 11: Beiyuan County, Simmons (Northern Yuan Province)

The only paradoxical possibility is that because Grant "occupied" Pelican County, he rushed to the top of the league's leaderboard, but he was not recognized by the league.

Although he is a champion lord, he barely entered the River Valley Provincial Council.

It can also be regarded as a kind of "punishment" for Grant.

.........

The establishment of the three-level council seems to have solved the problem of slow decision-making, but in fact there are still many hidden dangers.

First of all, the general lords of the alliance still have objections to the establishment of a three-level council, believing that this will allow the big lords to further steal the power of the alliance and damage their interests.

It was only in view of external pressure that we had to compromise.

Leaving aside the two levels of provinces and alliances for the time being, it is said that some of the county-level council members elected by the counties already call themselves the "rulers" of the county.

Why?

Isn't this a joke? !
In the era of the lords of the whole people, shouldn't the competition be based on the strength of the territory, but by canvassing votes to win?Those lords who were not selected and boasted of their strength may not be convinced in their hearts.

There are also undercurrents surging within the counties.

In the end, it is very likely that whoever has big and hard fists can be elected as a member of the council.

It is equivalent to promoting the alliance's competition at the county level in a disguised form.

At this time, many lords of the Aztec Alliance envied the lords of other countries of Blue Star, who could use refugees to trade the much-needed level 3 crystal cores in the market.

"Tang Jing, Tang Jing, why don't you also sell it in the alliance market?"

Secondly, if the representatives elected by the provincial council want to gain a firm foothold, they are doomed to represent the interests of the province at the level of the alliance council and speak for the lord of the province.

Otherwise the position is unstable.

By analogy, councils at the provincial and county levels have similar problems.

The final result is likely to turn a large group of people into a small group of people to argue with each other, and it is difficult to truly form a correct decision oriented to respond to the crisis.

Traditional skills belong to yes.

But in any case, compared to the previous disunity, the successful establishment of the alliance council is already a very remarkable progress for the alliance.

Even if there was a quarrel, eleven people would quarrel behind closed doors.

It's better than a group of people arguing.

.........

After the alliance council was established, the first thing to do was to respond to the appeal of the coalition commander Douglas——

Comprehensively enhance the strength of coalition fighters.

The Battle of Chang'an can be said to have taught the coalition forces and the alliance a bloody lesson.

From the defeat of this war, the alliance not only realized the importance of the city in the cold weapon war, but also deeply realized that the competition in the cold weapon war is not just about the number of people.

Individual strength is also crucial.

After all, "Star Boundary" is not copying history, but adding a martial arts training system.

During the Chang'an counterattack, the soldiers of the Tier 20 coalition army faced the soldiers of the Tier [-] heavy armor, and they were almost the same as ordinary people. If they met, they would only be slaughtered unilaterally.As a result, nearly [-] coalition forces died in one war.

If this is placed in a real historical environment, it is absolutely unimaginable.

It actually happened again.

"If you want to fight against the Chang'an army, the first-tier fighters have been reduced to cannon fodder. All coalition fighters must be transferred to the second-tier. If conditions permit, they must work hard toward the third-tier." Douglas said.

In the Battle of Chang'an, Tang Jing certainly gained a large amount of Glory Points, but the coalition forces also gained some Glory Points because they caused a lot of effective damage, which can be exchanged for small batches of Infantry Armor and Mingguang Armor.

The 50 coalition forces, plus the coalition forces of the Ika, Bit, and Tara provinces, and the local defense forces of the River Valley province, all add up to more than one million.

All of them have been transferred to the second level, and the transfer fee alone exceeds 300 million gold coins.

"The transfer fee is quite a lot, but it's always better. Let the coalition fighters who have been recruited with great difficulty become cannon fodder on the battlefield. Chang'an is cheap, right?"

Douglas settled a simple account for the Union lords.

"This is not just a matter of job transfer costs. After all the soldiers of the coalition army are transferred to Tier [-], should they be equipped with armor, shields, bows and arrows in order to maximize their combat effectiveness?"

"Compared to 300 million gold coins, these weapons and equipment are more difficult to raise." Some lords said awkwardly.

"That's exactly my second point."

However, Douglas had already made up his mind, so he took the opportunity to take over the conversation: "If you want to strengthen the strength of the coalition forces, you need to carry out a round of comprehensive upgrades to the weapons and equipment of the coalition fighters."

"Iron armor must become standard equipment, otherwise it will still be reduced to cannon fodder."

"to this end--"

"I suggest that five to six weapons and equipment manufacturing centers can be established on a provincial basis, and local intermediate and senior blacksmiths, as well as pig iron and other materials, can be concentrated to forge weapons and equipment on a large scale and in a streamlined manner."

Douglas does have something, not only to ask, but also to give a solution.

This is where Douglas is different from the previous two.

Rogers, the first commander of the coalition forces, simply had no experience in cold weapon warfare, and he didn't know the true strength of Chang'an, so he acted as cannon fodder and became a villain.

Subsequent proposals for building the city were somewhat conservative.

Grant, the second commander of the coalition forces, was more than brave, lacking in care, and harboring selfishness.

Leading to the second disastrous defeat of the coalition forces.

Douglas has learned the lessons of the previous two and learned to stand on the shoulders of giants——

"If you want the coalition forces to fight against Chang'an, you can pay for it first!"

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without a coalition army capable of fighting a tough battle, Douglas would not dare to take on this job.

"Row!"

Gail spoke at the right time, "The preparations for the establishment of a weapon and equipment manufacturing center will be coordinated and promoted by the provincial councils themselves. At the alliance level, there will be no uniform and rigid regulations."

Anyway, there is no need for every province to do it, and those who want to do it can do it.

If you don't want to, forget it.

Members of the alliance council, such as Gail and John, wisely did not get involved in such affairs that can be coordinated at the provincial level, otherwise, they would be accused by the alliance lords of seizing power.

The decision-making power that should be delegated to the provincial level must be resolutely delegated.

Similarly, at the provincial level, the decision-making power that should be delegated to the county level must also be resolutely delegated.

County councils cannot be allowed to idle.

Decentralization of power layer by layer, layer by layer cake, is the survival of the alliance.
