"Leader, Mr. Almir has been waiting outside all night..."
It was early morning when Old Man Li sat across from the leader and said somewhat hesitantly,
The leader rubbed his head with a headache and sighed when he heard that.
That afternoon, he had already explained the implications. A San Country had a huge population, so Anger's approach was unsuitable!
Anger's approach was for the West Germans to hold the technology, control, and management authority, equivalent to the Imperial Court's central government, while outsiders would be in charge of military force and external colonization, equivalent to local military governors.
It was an extremely good balance, but switching those roles around would produce an entirely different result because of the leaders involved.
Since ancient times, who had benefited more, civil officials or military commanders?
Many people might say it was obviously the civil officials. There were examples of this from the Song Dynasty through the Ming Dynasty, with military generals constantly being trampled under the feet of civil officials. But that was not actually the case. Why had those two dynasties deliberately lowered the status of military commanders? Because military commanders were too dangerous. Even the emperors feared them and had to elevate the civil officials to keep them in check.
Therefore, fully handing over the rights to develop local territories and colonize them was Anger's greatest show of sincerity. As long as the Central China Players possessed this, even if she adjusted, balanced, or even favored certain sides with her city lord's authority in the future, the Central China Players would not suffer.
That was because the space for the players to make their mark in the future would be outside. They would either be local lords or adventurers roaming the world. How much could a city lord restrain them?
