After the meeting, Amystan was in a very unhappy mood.

On the other side, Levi, Mel, Victor and others who ended the meeting were also not satisfied with the status quo.

"Levi, have we made too many concessions to Noxus?" Although the Supreme Council meeting before the meeting had passed the relevant resolution with a majority vote, some radicals represented by Victor still had opinions on this.

In Victor's opinion, just moving away factories, businesses, universities, and taking away scientists, engineers and students is not enough.

He believed that the Wind Leader could completely use the power of the goddess to drive Noxus out of the Twin Cities in one fell swoop; instead of carving up Pi City like now, and then continue to confront Noxus across the river.

"Victor, we have talked about this before." Levi explained his opinion to Victor: "We are taking too big steps now and developing too fast."

How long has it been since the establishment of Leader? Only half a year.

Only two months ago, the Windleader Association had just occupied a small piece of territory in Zaun.

However, the Wind Leader now controls more than 2 million people in all of Zaun, including the hundreds of thousands of people in Bilgewater who are newly controlled.

And among this total population of nearly 3 million, there is still a huge part that in the past relied on the reactionary forces of the old society such as gangs, pirates, and alchemy barons. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources to accept and reform criminals.

molecular.

"There are tens of thousands of professional pirates in Bilgewater alone. And Zaun."

Not to mention Zuan.

Even if they are not thugs working for gangs, there are few people here who are not criminals.

In order to survive this kind of hell on earth, who among the Zaun people has not fought, stolen money, grabbed things, or even killed someone?

Even Li Wei "himself" had human lives on his back and his hands were stained with blood.

"To absorb so many people at once, to give them jobs, housing, and income, to correct their mistakes, to change their minds, and not to return to the road of crime, the amount of work required can be said to be unimaginably huge."

"Now our grassroots cadres are severely understaffed, and the administrative system has been stretched to the limit due to overexpansion."

"If we were to annex Pi City at this time and accept Pi City's more than 2 million people, we wouldn't need enemies to sabotage it. We would have internal administrative collapse due to lack of manpower and chaotic management, and the world would be in chaos."

Levi said seriously. This point has actually been discussed before.

But Victor had a different view: "The situation in Levi and Piltover is different from that in Zaun and Bilgewater."

Both Zaun and Bilgewater are lawless places. If you don't quickly rebuild the order after breaking the old order, then these Zaun and Pidgeon people will let you know in a minute what "three million lawless madmen" are.

Gunfight Dream”.

But the security in Piltover has always been impeccable.

"We can definitely take over Pi City first, but we are not in a hurry to transform Pi City. At the same time, we will retain a large number of old staff from the Pi City Government Affairs Department, including the former Pi City law enforcement officers, and use Pi City's existing administrative system to manage the city and maintain law and order.

"

"After waiting for a long time, our cadres have been trained and we have enough manpower. It is too late to slowly transform Pi City."

Victor's suggestion sounds very feasible.

"But." Levi's expression was subtle.

There are some things that he didn't say in the previous internal meeting. Some of the things he said were too clear and would be uncomfortable to listen to. In fact.

"Leaving aside the important reasons for Noxus—"

"It is precisely because the situation in Piltover is much better than that of Zaun and Pigeon that we cannot rush to take Piltover."

Not only is Pi City's security better than Zu'an's, it's also better than Zu'an's in every aspect.

The more than 2 million people in Piltover are extremely wealthy, every family is well-off, and everyone is a little bourgeois.

The more than 2 million people in Zuan are so poor that they only have cattle and horses. There are only a few who can have a home.

"If we take over the entire Twin Cities now and let the people of Zaun and Piltover live together, then there will be a problem——"

"Should we treat Zaun and Piltover people equally, and let Zaun people live the same life as Piltover people?"

"This" Victor was slightly startled: "Of course."

The leader's ideal is to liberate all mankind and make everyone equal. Of course, the people of Zaun and Piltover must be treated equally.

"But the total amount of cake in the Twin Cities is just that big. Before that, the rulers of Piltover exploited Zaun, an economic colony, and gave the people of Piltover a share of the excess profits they earned from the world through financial and technological hegemony.

It’s good enough.”

"Zuan is now in a mess, and everything is in ruins. It costs money to build a city, it costs money to develop industries, it costs money to clean up the environment. There are many places that need to spend money, and the amount of money that needs to be invested is simply astronomical."

In the past, the Alchemist Baron only exploited and neglected construction, almost turning Zaun into a chemical wasteland and a purgatory on earth. Now that the Wind Leader is here, of course he can no longer do this.

Leader needs to build Zaun, and construction, especially infrastructure, is very expensive.

Therefore, the Leader Association must have money on hand, and it must withhold a large piece of this cake. And if this money is invested, it will take many years to generate benefits and recover the cost.

"So no matter how good we are at distribution, we can't provide them with better benefits."

The people of Piltover have meat to eat every day, cars to drive, apartments and houses, and their life is very uncomfortable.

The Datong society in the fantasy of many Zaans is only at this level.

For a long time in the foreseeable future, Wind Leader may not be able to allow the combined population of Zaun and Piltover, which total more than 4 million people, to live such a high-quality life at the same time.

"what does that mean?"

This means that once the leader monopolizes the twin cities and treats the Zaun and Piltover people equally——

The lives of the Zaunites will change for the better;

As for the people of Piltover, the poor relatives who received more than 2 million pieces of cake in one go will inevitably become worse than before.

"Not all ordinary people care so much about theories, doctrines and ideologies."

"For most ordinary people, a theory that makes their lives better is a good theory, and a theory that makes everyone's life worse is a bad theory."

"And if we take Piltover, the lives of Piltover people will be worse than before - what will they think? Will they still support us?"

"This" Victor was speechless.

Indeed, if you think about it for a moment, you will know:

Seeing that their poor relatives in Zaun have become rich, they themselves have slowly fallen to the same living standard as the Zaun people. The people of Piltover will definitely hate the Windleader very much.

The people of Piltover will not understand that their good old days were actually based on the suffering of the Zaun people.

They would not recognize it. This was just the Zaun people getting back the rewards they deserved out of equal status.

The people of Piltover will only think that it was the leader of the Zaun bandits who took away their original good life.

"The citizens of Piltover will only miss Camille and the Piltover Council. Maybe in the story soon, we will become the bad guys and Camille will become the good guy."

Levi said quietly.

"This" Victor looked stunned.

But he finally figured it out: "Li Wei, why are you not in a hurry to take over Pi City, but also moved all the high-tech companies and universities in Pi City back to Zaun?"

If we don't take Pi City, we will leave the responsibility of governing Pi City to Amystan.

Removing enterprises and universities is actually taking away Pi City’s technological hegemony and the excess profits that Pi City had exclusively enjoyed in the past.

then

"It won't be long before the people of Piltover will find that their lives are getting worse and worse."

"They will begin to face salary cuts, unemployment, and involution. Gradually they will not be able to afford big steaks or live in big houses. They will even line up like the Zaun people to go to the factory to make screws -"

"That is, from a 'high-level worker' bought off by the excess profits of developed socialism to a humble student receiving 'direct education from socialism.'"

If it were in the past, Piltover could have diverted the conflict by hating the Zaans.

But now, after seeing the supreme power of the goddess Janna, how can the Piltover newspaper dare to say such things about Zaun?

Life has gotten worse, but I can’t scold Zu An. Who should I scold?

"Of course I can only scold Amystan and Noxus."

On the other hand, because they have gained scientific and technological advantages through military superiority, as long as they survive the hard days of early investment and construction, the living standards of the Zaan people will definitely improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then the people of Piltover will find that their lives have become worse under the rule of Noxus;

Under the leadership of the leader, the people of Zaun turned around and became well-off.

What would they think?
