Temporary port.

In the dim light of the early morning, the place looked particularly busy.

Box after box of goods marked with the "Tian Yuan" logo were transported straight from the factory by trucks, carrying various hopes and sustenance, and were quietly sent to the simple conveyor belt.

As the motor gear closes and rotates, the conveyor belt begins to perform regular shrinking and curling movements, steadily transporting boxes of goods to the cabin of the cargo ship.

The river breeze blows gently, bringing a unique feeling of moisture and freshness.

After the sailors finished their breakfast, they began to wander around the interior of the cargo ship. After a while, they piled all the loaded cargo neatly.

Stimulated by massive demand, the production capacity of major factories has been completely drained. Even the inventory of previous production has been emptied, and warehouses have become empty spaces.

From the most basic daily necessities, to mid-range technology products for people's livelihood, to high-end technology products at the edge of regulation.

The orders from the four major territories basically cover all types of goods sold externally by the territories.

Of course, except food supplies.

Although the price of food within the territory is currently extremely cheap, that is based on the premise of supplying 100,000 people.

Once the opening is opened and transportation and sales begin, the reserves in the warehouse will definitely be emptied instantly.

And the most important thing is that the Central Holy Land is not like the Southern Fire Territory, which can achieve three or four crops a year.

Under the premise of two crops a year, food cannot be supplied in large quantities, and there is indeed not much profit to speak of, and there is no possibility of sustainable development.

In addition, all controlled items are temporarily restricted from sale, including various types of ships equipped with power stone engines.

At present, the order of the Dragon Immortal River has not been completely determined, and the major territories along the river are in the most basic stage of exploration.

It's hard to imagine what will happen once a small territory is equipped with a completely superior version of the current powered vehicle.

However, Sumo does not intend to ban the export of these controlled items for a long time.

If the fleet led by Su Deben can find out the "secret" of the Honghua Gang this time, the lords of the four major territories can also abide by the rules and be willing to sign the Tianyuan Alliance cooperation agreement.

The subsequent export of controlled items will soon be a matter of course.

Wait until a complete supervision system is established. Once there is a territory that uses these things to do evil, just send a fleet to recover them.

However, this is the estimated plan under the most ideal situation. Faced with these new territories that have not proven themselves in future ruins, Soma has always maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Tianyuan Dungeon, Lord's Office.

Just when Su Mo and Qiao Yuansheng were discussing the future direction of changes in the Hive Project, the latter suddenly sighed with emotion as he was talking.

"Obviously, once their lords are unwilling to sign this agreement, I feel like these territories can resolve all conflicts themselves without our intervention."

Although the Hive Project cleverly drew on the advantages of the identity system, it also tried hard to curb the negative effects of the identity system.

But it has to be said that no plan is absolutely perfect.

Throughout the implementation of the Hive Plan, there are always some people who are inevitably affected whether they like it or not.

Among them, the most severely affected are the lords of these territories.

In the future ruins, the identity system greatly protects these lords' control over their territories.

It can be said that the lord of each territory is like a local emperor and has complete management rights under his rule.

Whether it is the use of materials, the departure or stay of territorial citizens, or the formulation of external development plans.

The lord's rights and territory are above all else, and no one else is qualified to dictate.

However, with the implementation of the Hive Project, this situation began to change subtly.

As the main body, the Tianyuan Alliance gave ordinary people the ability to change the situation, and the rights of the lords were suddenly challenged like never before.

For example, the division of rights.

In the past, lords had absolute control over the buildings, businesses and other resources in their territory, but now the life and death of these resources is no longer entirely decided by the lord alone.

The buildings funded by the Tianyuan Alliance and the companies providing technical support have undoubtedly made the management of the territory more complex and diversified.

Not to mention the importance of the opinions expressed by local factory owners after receiving the support of the alliance.

They will no longer be easily ignored like in the future ruins. As an important pillar of the territorial economy, the voices and interests of these people will undoubtedly be included in the scope of decision-making, causing the lord to have to weigh more factors when making decisions.

factor.

Furthermore, and more importantly, as a powerful external force, the Tianyuan Alliance also has the right to intervene in the territory.

Under such a background, how can the lord still be his own emperor?

"This is something that can't be helped. No matter how perfect the plan is, there will always be a group of people whose interests have to be sacrificed."

"However, compared with the sacrifice of the interests of billions of ordinary people, the interests of these lords are too insignificant. If these people are really unwilling, at worst we will support the replacement in the background."

After the words fell, Qiao Yuansheng looked up in surprise, as if he didn't expect Su Mo to be so decisive this time.

"Aren't you considering the impact in the New World?"

Once the Tianyuan Territory interferes with the internal management of an ally's territory for a long time, it will easily cause concerns about not joining the territory.

After all, it is the lords who make the decision. Will these people be willing to sacrifice their own interests to join?

Su Mo paused and suddenly said with a smile.

"You researched this plan yourself, don't you have any confidence at all?"

"Forehead"

Qiao Yuansheng was speechless for a while, but finally shook his head, with a rare loss of confidence.

no way.

After all, the real wasteland is not a strategic game running on the virtual level. Even when the plan is advanced, various unexpected situations may occur due to overlapping influencing factors.

In the initial planning, the impact of the Hive Project was not so strong.

The original role of the Tianyuan Alliance was closer to that of a venture capital company on Earth, supporting certain technologies and funds for those territories seeking help, and ultimately disbursing the profits through the territory's self-development.

In this way, the territory seeking support can still ensure the integrity of the lord's rights, and ordinary survivors can also get a job to support their families during the development process, thereby achieving the goal of common development.

However, the reality is far more complex than initially imagined.

As the plan progresses, various unknown factors begin to emerge, and issues such as power relationships between territories, resource allocation, and interest entanglements gradually surface, making the entire plan more complex and unpredictable.

Furthermore, in the process of contact with each other, it is inevitable that one party's appetite will gradually increase.

With the frequent opening of trade, large and medium-sized territories can still maintain internal stability and autonomy due to their perfect scale, but the development speed of small territories will surge like a rocket.

Driven by the rapid expansion of territory and a large amount of resources, human desires are easily stimulated and continue to expand. When desires cannot be satisfied in a short period of time, disputes and conflicts between territories may break out, bringing serious consequences to the entire plan.

There are many unstable factors.

In order to suppress this out-of-control situation, or at least delay the time when it breaks out, a complete supervision and management system is particularly important.

But who will monitor it?

After much deliberation, the alliance itself has to take on this role and achieve complete "production and sales" management.

Qiao Yuansheng is not a simple idealist. From his sudden emotion just now, it can be seen that he has anticipated the impact that the alliance will have on the subsequent situation after assuming this management role.

If the lord and the subjects do not agree to join the alliance, then the lord will stand on the opposite side of the subjects and become the enemy.

And if you agree to join the alliance, a mountain named "Tian Yuan" will appear above the lord's head.

So it's a dilemma.

There are always people who don't want to have a mountain on their heads, and there are always people who don't want to be restricted by their lords in the development of their territory.

If the Tianyuan Alliance decides to intervene in this link, it will definitely have extremely bad effects.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much about the impact of the alliance's power. The wasteland is not the earth, and there are still restrictions on returning home. Here, people with big fists have always spoken. Without strength, just be honest and obedient."

Seeing the worry on Qiao Yuansheng's face, Su Mo comforted him softly.

"Isn't Qinggang City a good example? We only need to make sure that the benefits and help brought by the alliance are far greater than the disadvantages and disadvantages brought by the alliance, then we will not encounter too many obstacles in the process of action

, there will be a huge number of people who will support us and even become enemies of those who oppose us.”

The words behind the scenes naturally refer to the accident that just happened in the southern suburbs.

In the process of opening the port, the alliance has threatened the sovereignty integrity of the major refuges in the southern suburbs to a certain extent.

Especially the harbor shelters are most severely affected.

Once the ship really needs to leave the port, the harbor shelter will definitely not be able to stay there and will be forced to move away.

In this case, what did every manager in the southern suburbs do?

Under the trend of interests, they not only did not have a united front, but also united the seaports to resist the alliance.

On the contrary, it also helps the alliance to put pressure on the seaport, hoping to become a common beneficiary after the port is opened.

"We just need to ensure that the number of friends is much greater than that of enemies, so that enemies will not have the guts to show up."

"On the other hand, if we always think about protecting the interests of everyone, then who will be sacrificed in the end?"

Qiao Yuansheng was stunned for a moment.

"Am I too cautious?"
