"Nicely said!"
"That's right!"
"Those are all small gifts given by fate to kindness!"
"That's what happened."
"Spider-Man What a great shot, I like Tobey Maguire."
"I don't like it. His expression always looks weak on weekdays. Although he occasionally gets tougher, just looking cowardly is unforgivable."
Eugene finally said to Johnny with a stinky face, but after saying this, Eugene remained silent for a moment, and then made a comment.
"It is true that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I think it is right anyway, but compared to that, I believe more that the greater the ability, the greater the right, and the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!"
"Let me think about it, the boss talked to us at the party half a year ago. Boss, can you believe it? That boy William has recorded most of your words in his diary. Even if I look at it occasionally, I can recall it and remember some wonderful sentences by the way, haha!"
Amid laughter, Eugene clapped his hands and looked at Gavin, waiting for Gavin's order.
Should we take advantage of the fact that the survivors of Home are full of admiration for Gavin himself and Alliance as a whole, and initiate the annexation of Home in one fell swoop?
If everything goes well, maybe Alliance can increase the population by hundreds in one breath. In this way, although the total number of the Alliance at that time may not be able to catch up with the crazy expansion of West Coast, Los Angeles Biker Gang.
But at least the gap in numbers with Biker Gang has been narrowed!
For a moment, the managers sitting or standing in the RV all looked at Gavin in silence.
Just waiting for an order from Gavin, this group of people would immediately take out their walkie-talkies and convey instructions to their men, asking them to prepare for battle or other preparations to act in accordance with Gavin's order.
And Gavin----
Facing the waiting of the guys, he thought silently for a moment, and then gently shook his head in front of everyone's puzzled eyes.
"There is a very interesting word in the East, that word is called "jilei""
"That is to say, it refers to the layer of chicken that is closest to the bones. It is thin and does not have much nutritional value or protein content. Even simple cooking may be a waste of firewood and oil."
"I don't want to explain too much about the meaning of this word. I just want to say, guys, don't stop and eagerly embrace good luck every time it seems to happen to you."
"Even if this good fortune brings no consequences."
"But if we treat this good luck in a different way, our gains may be even greater!"
Having said this, Gavin continued to think and rubbed his chin with his left hand, while his right hand gently tapped the dining table in front of him.
He himself also needs to think more about the pros and cons of annexing Home. It is like a game of chess. When he needs to take a long exam, one or two minutes of thinking time is far from enough.
See Gavin to continue thinking, and at the same time, give everyone a basic attitude before thinking.
The hot blood in everyone's hearts suddenly cooled down a bit.
Eugene looked a little frustrated, while Johnny and others were thinking about the reason why Gavin said no. When Jon saw that his suggestion was rejected, he immediately lowered his head and stepped back a little, hiding himself behind the crowd.
Only William will not change his attitude due to Gavin's veto, and he will not care what decision Gavin makes, because no matter what outrageous decision it is, William guarantees that he will implement it as soon as possible!
In short, after another two or three minutes of silence, Gavin raised his hand to grab the soda and took a sip, then put the soda back on the table and said softly.
"I just thought about it. It is true that now may be the best time to launch a "merger" of Home. This is also the reason why Jon proposed and agreed with this view."
"After all, Jon was a big businessman who was able to sneak into State Assembly before the end. Such a businessman must have much more experience in acquiring other companies than I have in annexing other farms, and his acumen in looking at the timing of mergers and acquisitions must be higher than mine."
He praised Jon, which made Jon, who originally planned to keep a low profile, had to raise his head and responded to Gavin with a smile.
Then, just listen to Gavin continue talking.
"But after I think about it, I feel that the decision to completely annex Home should not be made completely at this moment when we only see the general."
"I know you must be greedy for the hundreds of people in Home. Since you are greedy, then after arriving at Home, go and have more contact with the guys at Home, chat more, and do some research by the way."
"Don't worry that your prying will make the general and other Home management nervous. That's exactly what I want."
"I want them to be nervous, because once they start to be nervous, it will be easier for them to reveal their flaws or be easier for us to take advantage of."
Speaking of this, Gavin especially pointed at Eugene.
"Especially you, Eugene, you need to use your talents better, just like you and Councilman’s Son from New York Council play on the same bed."
"Of course, pay attention to the disease problem. Don't let me see you not dying in the mouth of a shit zombie, but falling on a dirty Pussy (dirty than)!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Haha, no problem, boss, I will find out clearly. In two days at most, I will be able to find out clearly what hand those Home survivors use to wipe their butts and hold a fork with that hand!"
Eugene gave Gavin a thumbs up, and Gavin nodded in approval. Then he turned to the others and said.
"As for the proposal of annexation, on the one hand, we cannot make a decision based on the one-sided words of a few people such as the general."
"On the other hand, even if what they say is true, even if there are no traps prepared for us in Home, even if my prestige in Home and our Alliance's centripetal force are really to the extent that we can make them follow us with just one sentence."
"Even if there are so many, we must admit that Atlanta is too far away from us!"
Speaking of this, Gavin no longer supported the tabletop with his hands, but leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, and arrogantly raised both feet to the table.
Looking at the soles of Gavin's boots, the guys didn't think there was anything impolite about it. Instead, they felt that Gavin looked more down-to-earth.
Gavin continued talking so lazily.
"You all know that I'm an ambitious bastard, just like every one of you, I also want our territory.
Expand to every inch of land in America and even the entire America."
"But no matter how ambitious we are, right now we are only a medium-sized force with less than 2,000 people."
"Even though we are already the best known in the wasteland, it is a bit exaggerated to say that with our current population, we are qualified to expand the sub-base to Atlanta."
"If we turn them into our own people, what should we do with them? Is it to take them all away, and spend more than half a month to slowly advance and bring the seven to eight hundred people back to Texas?"
"If you do that, won't it be a waste of Home's nearly a year of hard work on Atlanta, and not only a waste of the opportunity to form substantial control over Atlanta?"
"And if we try to directly annex Home into a sub-base, how many manpower will we have to invest in Home?"
"In addition, what is the situation of the survivors around Atlanta? Is there any turmoil between other nearby camps and Home? Will the annexation of Home bring small-scale riots and fighting to Atlanta and George-ia State?"
"Once Home is under our control and participates in George-ia State's war, will the long distance between it and Texas ensure that our support will continue to be in place? Are we prepared to bear that kind of loss?"
"Look, guys, it may not be difficult to annex them, but how to rely on this annexation to bring us the greatest benefits is difficult to grasp."
"Before the end, some countries will become richer and richer as they fight wars, while some countries will become poorer and poorer as they fight wars. Which one are we Alliance?"
Having said this, Gavin took a sip of Coke and gave the guys some time to think.
About half a minute later, Gavin put down the empty Coke bottle and continued.
"Besides annexation, I have several other plans. Regardless of those plans, I can only make a final decision after understanding the basic situation of George-ia State."
"Perhaps we are garrisoning Home on a rotating basis, or perhaps we are providing support in the form of mercenaries in exchange for some of Home's population, especially female resources."
"It is also possible that Home is simply extremely short of certain resources, and we can directly use the resources in exchange for female resources, such as attracting those women to secretly defect from Home and join us."
"In short, whether it's swallowing or cannibalizing, after we figure out the situation, I will give you the final order."
"As for now, don't think so damn much, and don't think so damn far!"
"Concentrate on avoiding possible traps first!"
"Don't put all your vigilance in your butt just because the general said a few nice words to the female soldiers next to him!"
"Inform the lead vehicle to keep a distance from the general's vehicle. The lookouts should seize every second to observe the surroundings. Increase the number of lookouts and try to see every corner in all directions where traps may be hidden!"
"By the way, Jon, do we still have enough supplies?"
Gavin suddenly turned to Jon and asked.
Facing Gavin's question, Jon was slightly stunned, and then immediately answered solemnly.
"That's enough, boss. After all, we searched several towns near the Smoky Mountains, and we also received gifts from New York Council!"
"We currently have at least 40 tons of mineral water, 15 tons of various carbonated and taurine drinks, 140 tons of various types of meat, vegetables, canned food and flour. In addition, we also have 500 kilograms of rice."
"Enough to feed us for a month and a half, and we will be full for a month and a half!"
"Even if you want to hold several grand parties in Home, our supplies can support two to three parties, but only two to three parties."
"Boss, do you have any plans to use our party culture to give the art students near Atlanta a little bit of the attraction from Texas?"
Jon grinned, and it was precisely because of his smile that Gavin discovered that Jon had really gained a lot of weight.
Originally, Jon was just like the vast majority of America rich people before the end of the world. Although his figure could not be called excellent, it was not like having thin muscles.
But at least I don't look fat at all!
America is like this. Even the food culture is controlled by the upper class. High-quality protein and fat are too cheap, and vegetables are too expensive at the price of high-quality dietary fiber. As a result, as long as America people who often eat cheap food, 80% of them are suffering from high blood pressure and obesity.
But now, okay----
If the cook doesn't steal, the grain won't be harvested, right?
Jon Now he is not the person in charge of a Michelin restaurant like before the apocalypse. The meals in that kind of Michelin restaurant are difficult to feed even mosquitoes. Naturally, a Michelin chef will not be too fat.
But Alliance's food is two different things from Michelin. Alliance is pure Texas cuisine, with an astonishing amount of meat and vegetables. Only in this way can we ensure that Alliance's guys will not be drained of their bodies by all kinds of heavy work.
Therefore, even Jon has become fatter than before the end----
Seeing Jon and Gavin at this moment, I felt a little want to laugh, but also a little proud.
So he put on a funny expression and said softly to Jon.
"Don't think of me so much, Jon, I'm not a fucking devil. I'm so generous that I want to give to you wherever I go.
Everyone is satisfied if they believe in me by sending them surprising gifts."
"In our contact with New York Council, we are each other's guests, and each other is our own master, so if we provide some supplies, it is nothing."
"But what we are going to next is Home's territory. They are the owners of this territory, and we are pure guests!"
"So, don't talk about preparing for the party, it should be prepared for us by the master Home!"
"It's just us. We only need to bring the small gifts that the guests should bring. Let me think about it, give them five meals of mineral water. After all, pollution-free mineral water is the hard currency in today's wasteland!"
"This is enough to express generosity. As for the rest, as long as what is waiting for us is not a trap, then let us enjoy the treatment of guests and check out the third party of their wasteland family for Johnny, hahahaha!"
After mocking Johnny unceremoniously, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became lively.
Even Eugene turned his attention to Johnny, cursing that this bastard actually had two women, how envious and jealous he was.
After eight or nine minutes of laughter, everyone's intercom finally rang.
Magnetic--
After a brief sound of electricity, while everyone was silent, the voice of the driver of the lead car came from the intercom.
Sound.
"Boss, I am Jasper, I saw what happened to Home!"
"It doesn't look like there is a trap, because there is a small town ahead. Through my high-power telescope, I can see many traces of life and busy survivors walking around in the town!"
"In addition, they have hundreds of people gathered in the direction of the entrance and exit of the town we are about to approach. Most of those people are women, and they don't look like they are carrying weapons!"
"If this is also their trap, then I think we might as well be arrested by those girls as hunters."
"Hey, boss, I don't mind having a role-playing game with them. Let them play the hunter this time, and let's play the strong Snow White or the cute little gray wolf!"
At this point, the sound of the intercom stopped completely.
After a brief silence, the RV erupted into an astonishing burst of laughter.
Amidst such laughter, the general Cherokee stopped.
Home has arrived.
