“Politics is the art of compromise.”
This sentence gave the protagonist a great inspiration. Since each class has its own interests, and since pushing forward forcefully may be counterproductive, then everyone should take a step back and compromise with each other.
Some people may ask, in addition to wisdom, today's ants also retain a lot of primitive animality. Can they understand the meaning of compromise?
In fact, there is no shortage of cases of interest-based compromise in the animal world.
For example, in a wolf pack, wolves compromise with each other and gain a better chance of survival at the expense of sharing prey with other companions. In a wolf pack, wolves with lower status often have to compromise with those with higher status in exchange for the chance to stay in the pack. And if the wolf king does not compromise when he gets old and does not take the initiative to give up his position to a younger and stronger wolf, once he is challenged and fails, what awaits him is the tragic path of leaving the group and becoming a lone wolf.
Everything from tigers to squirrels have clearly defined territories. Tigers of the same gender generally do not cross territories to offend neighboring species. This is also a compromise. By reducing their respective activity ranges, it reduces the risk of prey and courtship between neighbors. Reduce the risk of injury or even death when conflicts occur due to other reasons.
And the more social an animal is, the stronger its compromise will be. This is due to the needs of the group. Ants are the most typical social creatures.
Therefore, the protagonist is busy these days to communicate with each king privately, understand their position, and explore ways that they can accept.
For example, some kings believe that they are the most noble, and even female ants cannot compare with them. Then the protagonist lowers the status design of the big worker ant class.
Although on the surface it seems that the worker ant class is only ranked second to the third class, it seems that its status is not high. However, the protagonist originally planned for them to take a full-time technical route, and there would not be much overlap with the power of the male ants, so the difference in status would not be too obvious.
Some male ants are extremely angry at the fact that there are no male ants in the parasitic ant nest, but the big worker ants and the pale gold worker ants are appointed to replace the king and the king. They are worried that the protagonist will do the same, thus threatening the political and military power of the male ants. privileges.
The protagonist stipulates that the worker ants are not allowed to participate in politics and the military, and they have no voting rights on major matters like female ants. In fact, the protagonist is also wary of the big worker ant class. After all, this class is too young, and it will take a long time for its positive and negative impacts to be fully revealed.
Some male ants were dissatisfied with the need for high-end food for the large worker ants. After mutual compromise, the protagonist reduced the high-end food supply for the adult large worker ants, but ensured the high-end food supply for the large worker ant larvae - without sufficient high-end food, they cannot be cultivated. There are smart big worker ants and light gold big worker ants.
The protagonist's strategy also plays a big role. He communicates with each king privately. Even if the other party has objections, the protagonist is still able to persuade them, or reach a middle-ground condition acceptable to both parties through concessions and compromises.
This avoids the situation where most kings express their objections at the same time during a collective meeting, leaving the protagonist unable to persuade.
Even if the other party still disagrees, the protagonist can use his status and prestige to ask the other party to keep it secret and avoid the connection of opposing forces.
In a private communication environment, Wang is generally more concerned about the protagonist's status and prestige when facing the protagonist, and there are rarely scenes of fierce opposition.
But there are exceptions. Rambo Wan, the supreme commander of the Third Legion appointed by the protagonist, is stationed in the "Stump Fortress" and cannot leave. Therefore, the protagonist delivers an information package to a flying knight messenger to ask for his opinion. The protagonist does this to save time. After all, there are hundreds of kings who need to be persuaded in "Dongyang City" alone, so the protagonist naturally does not have time to visit the "Stump Fortress" in person.
However, when the Flying Knight Messenger brought Rambovan's fierce objections back, the protagonist realized something was wrong.
Lambo Wan is a fierce general, but he is quite stubborn, even worse than Gun. Although he was promoted by the protagonist, he sternly rejected the protagonist's idea in the message package he responded to. Incidentally, even the flying knight messenger who was originally neutral also turned against it.
The protagonist had to put aside what he was doing and rode Xiao Qing II to the "Stump Fortress" to communicate with Rambo Wan. The effect of this conversation was very bad, because Rambo Wan already knew the protagonist's plan in advance, and when he first came into contact with the plan, there was no protagonist around to affect his cognition. He did it independently based on his own experience and ideas. His opinion has now taken shape and cannot be changed even if the protagonist comes to persuade him personally.
However, the opposition of some people cannot stop the protagonist's plan. After talking to each king and putting in a lot of effort, he roughly determined that the number of people who supported him was slightly more than the number of people who were firmly opposed to him, but most of the kings were still hesitating.
Therefore, the politically minded protagonist moved the voting system of human society over.
The protagonist of this voting system did not connect it with the big worker ants at first. He just told all the kings that in order to ensure the efficiency and justice of the king's meeting, he introduced a voting system designed by "God", which will be applied to all kings in the future. in meeting.
The kings do not doubt that he is there, and the voting system in the protagonist's narrative is not too different from the current principle of near-unanimous approval in the king's meeting, so they can understand it. So this proposal was unanimously approved by the kings. This time the protagonist had to bring out the "divine will" again, but this time there was no objection, so it did not arouse everyone's suspicion of the "divine will".
The protagonist played a trick in explaining the voting system. He focused on the "abstention vote", a power that had never been seen in the King's Conference, and trumpeted the significance of the abstention vote. In short, he asked those kings with neutral and hesitant thoughts to abstain from voting.
Therefore, at the final king's meeting, regarding the issue of the big worker ants, as expected by the protagonist, the support votes were only slightly higher than the opposition votes, and then there were a large number of abstentions. This issue was barely passed due to the political skills of the protagonist.
But since it has been passed, it is a written system, and the protagonist will not allow others to question or obstruct it.
In the negative votes, the protagonist saw the names of Gun, Rambo Wan and Rambo Rui who were his confidants. Although everyone is motivated by public motives, and the protagonist will not marginalize these kings in the future, there is still some grudge.
The matter of the big worker ants has come to an end for now, and the protagonist should be busy with the education and work allocation of the big worker ants.
