Shi Potian looked at Year 19, he noticed that Year 19's expression was ugly. He said, "Five City Lords is already a lot. How many people do we have in total? What do you all think?" Once again, someone nodded. Year 19's expression became even uglier. He discovered that if this goes on, he wouldn't be able to get any benefits even if he became the Alliance Lord.
However, Year 19 was already riding a tiger and couldn't back down. He had no choice but to take the Alliance Lord's position. This was because he had already negotiated with those people. If he didn't become the Alliance Lord, then who knows who would benefit. At that time, he would feel even more uncomfortable because no matter who became the Alliance Lord, they wouldn't give him a good time to eat.
Year 19 looked at Shi Potian and said, "City Lord Shi, do you have any other suggestions?"
Shi Potian said, "Also, if we really fight in the future, then there will be consumption. If we fight with the enemy, then there will naturally be contributions. How do we calculate the consumption and how do we calculate the contribution? We have to make this clear. If we don't, then it will be troublesome in the future. If we fight because of this, then it won't look good for everyone. So I think we should be a villain first, then a gentleman. Let's say all the unpleasant things first, then there won't be any problems in the future. "
These words once again received everyone's approval. Everyone nodded. Year One Nine felt his teeth itching. After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Then I wonder if City Lord Shi has any suggestions?"
Shi Potian glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Let's do it this way. We can set up a ratio according to the size of each city-state. In wartime, each city-state should send out a fixed number of people and items. With a fixed ratio, no one would say anything about how much each city-state can send out. Then, we can set up a logistics group, a military legal group. The logistics group should be independent and select people from each city-state. People from each city-state should take part in it. The logistics group should be responsible for managing the supplies provided by each city-state during wartime, making sure that none of these supplies can be taken away by anyone and all of them should be used in the war. The military legal group should be responsible for recording the military exploits of each city-state. After the war, we will reward people according to their military exploits. What do you think?" Shi Potian said in a deep voice.
Year 19 was stunned. To be honest, he only wanted to be the Alliance Leader before, but he didn't think about these things. Logistics, military law, resources, ratios, and military merits, he didn't think about any of these. He thought that he was already well-prepared and could easily get the position of Alliance Leader. Moreover, he only thought about getting the City Lord's position, he didn't think about what he would do after he got it, nor did he think about what he would do in the war. Now that he heard Shi Potian's words, he realized that his preparations were still lacking, while Shi Potian was very well-prepared. What Shi Potian said made sense.
Even Nineteen felt that Shi Potian's words were reasonable, not to mention the others. When the others heard Shi Potian's words, they all began to discuss, and all of them kept nodding their heads. Clearly, they also felt that Shi Potian's words were very reasonable.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Year 19 couldn't help but feel fearful. This was because Shi Potian's preparation was too good, it simply wasn't something that he thought of on the spur of the moment. It seems like he already knew that the Alliance Lord would be chosen today, so he prepared a lot of things. And these things were all related to the benefits of the various city-states. Because of this, the people of the various city-states would naturally support his proposal.
However, this was also the reason why Year 19 was afraid. Shi Potian was well-prepared, and he already knew about the matter of the Alliance Lord. Then what would he do? Would the Alliance Lord's position fall to someone else in the end? After thinking about this, Year 19's heart couldn't help but shake. He saw the shadow of a person behind this matter, and that person was Zhao Hai.
In Year 19's view, only Zhao Hai could think of so many things. Zhao Hai had retreated behind the scenes, but he pushed Shi Potian's group to the front, making them come out and cause trouble. Perhaps Zhao Hai was already prepared, he was already prepared to snatch the Alliance Lord's position.
For a while, Year 119's thoughts turned like lightning. He thought about a lot of things and discovered that he had underestimated Zhao Hai. If Zhao Hai was really prepared, then wouldn't his proposal for the Alliance Leader be exactly what he wanted? After thinking about this, Year 19's body broke out in cold sweat.
But now that things have reached this point, if he forcibly stopped the selection of the Alliance Leader, then it would have a huge impact on his prestige. Naturally, the most important thing was that Zhao Hai hadn't arrived today. Zhao Hai's absence was Nineteen's biggest advantage. Zhao Hai's absence meant that Nineteen would be at a disadvantage in the selection of the Alliance Leader, while Nineteen would have the advantage.
Of course, Shi Potian didn't think that Nian '19 had already developed his thinking to this point. However, there was one thing that Nian' 19 guessed correctly, and that was that behind this matter, there really was Zhao Hai's shadow.
Shi Potian and the others didn't think about the logistics team, the military team, and the like. These were all thought of by Zhao Hai and then told to Shi Chui. It was precisely because of this that Shi Potian's performance today was like this.
Zhao Hai was very clear that no matter what kind of agreement Year 19 had with the other City Lords, these City Lords would always think about their own city-states. As long as the matter was related to the benefits of their city-states, then the City Lords would agree. They wouldn't care whether they had an agreement with Year 19 or not.
Shi Potian looked at everyone and saw that they agreed with what he said. Then he continued, "I believe that as long as we do this, then we wouldn't have any conflicts in the future. We would only be more united in the future. Only in this way can we defeat the Sacred Academy!"
Everyone nodded and shouted in unison. At this time, only Nineteen and the people from the Family Alliance had ugly expressions. There was no need to talk about Nineteen, he thought that he could easily get the position of Alliance Head. But now, so many things had happened. He hadn't even become the Alliance Head yet, but all kinds of shackles had already been placed on his body. This made him not look forward to the position of Alliance Head anymore.
As for the people from the Family Alliance, their expressions were ugly. This was because they discovered that if they did as Shi Chui said, then the Alliance Against the Sacred Academy would be unprecedentedly united. When that time comes, it would be even more difficult for the Sacred Academy to deal with them.
However, they were powerless to stop this. The people from the Family Alliance knew that they had just joined the Alliance Against the Sacred Academy. If they were to speak irresponsibly at this time, then it would only cause the Alliance Against the Sacred Academy to resent them. When that time comes, their situation would be even worse.
Year 19 looked at Shi Potian and then suddenly said, "City Lord Shi's words are very reasonable. I agree with City Lord Shi's proposal. What does everyone think?"
Nineteen's agreement was out of Shi Potian's expectations. He glanced at Nineteen and found that Nineteen's face was calm. He really couldn't tell what he was thinking. However, Shi Potian had already said what he needed to say, so he naturally sat down as well.
In fact, what Shi Potian didn't know was that this was Year 19's counterattack. Although Year 19 seemed to be taking a step back, he was actually taking a step back in order to advance. But if he agreed to Shi Potian's proposal, then the other city-states would see his magnanimity. At this time, the other city-states would think about their agreement with Year 19 and would support him again.
If Nian Nineteen didn't agree with Shi Potian and tried to stop him instead, the people of the other city-states would immediately dislike him. When that happened, Nian Nineteen would really be in trouble.
Everyone nodded, indicating that they agreed with Shi Potian's words. Only then did Year 19 open his mouth and say, "Then let's talk about the ratio of each city-state, as well as the logistics team and the military legal team. It's really hard to explain the ratio in such a short period of time. I think we should talk about the logistics team and the military legal team first. I don't think we need too many people for the logistics team and the military legal team. Every city-state should send two people, and these two people should both be Wu Sky Realm experts. Then, one person will join the logistics team, and the other will join the military legal team. In this way, the logistics team and the military legal team will be established. The logistics team doesn't need to personally manage the supplies, they just need to supervise them. The military legal team, on the other hand, will have to personally record the military merits.
What do you think? "The other city-states agreed with this point. If there were too many people in the logistics team and the military legal team, then it would be troublesome for the other city-states. Therefore, it didn't matter if the logistics team and the military legal team had fewer people.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Year 19 said, "Alright, then the logistics team and the military legal team will be established. As for the ratio between the city-states, what do you think?"
Everyone didn't know what to say about this. This was because the strength of each city-state was different. Even if the city-states were divided into large, medium, and small city-states, this division wasn't very standardized. The strength of each city-state was different, and the strength of each city-state was also different. If one were to divide the city-states according to the size of the city-states, then it wouldn't be good. They had to think of another way to divide the city-states.
Year 19 looked at everyone and said, "As for the ratio between the city-states, this isn't something that can be discussed in a short period of time. This would require a long period of time. How about this, I'll choose the Alliance Leader first. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded. Shi Potian looked at Year 19 and then whispered to Lu Jinyan, "This Year 19 has some skills. He's able to go straight to the point."
Lu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "If he doesn't even have this much ability, then he wouldn't be worthy of being the City Lord of Elephant City. Haha, but this is also good. We've already met our objective. As for the matter of providing manpower, we naturally have to do it. However, we still need to discuss the ratio properly." Several people chuckled.
Without these people causing trouble, everything naturally entered the normal track. Year 19 proposed to vote for the Alliance Master, and then let the City Lords of the various city-states vote. In the end, Year 19 became the Alliance Master by almost unanimous vote. Even Lu Jinyan and a few others voted for Year 19. This not only made everyone feel very surprised, but also surprised Year 19.
Year 19 thought that since Shi Potian said so much and prepared so well, then he must have made some preparations. In other words, he thought that Zhao Hai would compete for the position of the Alliance Leader. But now, he discovered that this wasn't the case. Zhao Hai didn't have any intention to compete for the position of City Lord. Instead, Shi Potian and the others voted for him. This made Year 19 puzzled.
It wasn't only Year 19 who was puzzled, the City Lords of the other city-states were also puzzled. Year 19 had a conflict with Lu Jinyan and the others. Moreover, he was suppressing Zhao Hai. The other city-states were also aware of this. However, the reason why the other city-states agreed to let Year 19 be the Alliance Leader, in addition to the benefits that Year 19 promised them, there was also a very important reason. That was, Zhao Hai was too strong. They were afraid that after Zhao Hai became the Alliance Leader, they would be completely controlled by Zhao Hai. Therefore, they wanted to push Year 19 to be the Alliance Leader.
The main reason why the City Lords of the other city-states thought that Zhao Hai was too strong was because the people they sent out before had fought alongside Zhao Hai. They were very clear about Zhao Hai's style of doing things. They knew that Zhao Hai was a very strong person. If Zhao Hai really became the Alliance Leader, then he would certainly grasp the power in his hands, especially during wartime. At that time, if they didn't listen to Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai might really kill them. Zhao Hai was a person who didn't play by the rules.
The reason why they had such an impression of Zhao Hai was because shortly after the war with the Sacred Court, Zhao Hai received 15 cities from the other city-states. In the eyes of the other City Lords, this was a very crazy behavior. It was precisely because of this that they didn't dare to let Zhao Hai become the Alliance Leader.
Year 19 was able to become the Alliance Leader as he wished. But to be honest, he wasn't happy at all. This was because although he became the Alliance Leader, his power wasn't as big as he imagined. He was also subject to various restrictions. This made him very unhappy, but he couldn't do anything about it. Everything was a foregone conclusion.
However, Year 19 was relieved because no matter what, the position of the Alliance Leader was still his. This was better than not being the Alliance Leader. If he didn't become the Alliance Leader, then it wouldn't be as simple as losing face. He's afraid that the other City Lords wouldn't want to see him in the future. Then his troubles would be even bigger.
After officially becoming the Alliance Leader, Nineteen stood up and cupped his fist towards everyone, "Thank you for your support. I'm very afraid, but since I'm already in this position, I'll do my best to lead everyone to deal with the Holy Court. I'll try my best to defeat the Holy Court as soon as possible so that everyone can have a bright future!"
Everyone gave him face and applauded. Naturally, Year 19 was very happy. He cupped his fist to the crowd and said, "The main purpose of this conference has been achieved. If everyone isn't in a hurry to go back, then you can stay and discuss the ratio of each city-state. If you're in a hurry, then you can return to your city-state and send a representative to Elephant City. What do you think?"
