The representative of the black fire ant was stunned for a moment, and then his tentacles left the ground. He did not bring other subordinates into the conference room. After hesitating for a while, he could only communicate with the tentacles of the flying eagle alone.
Later, Black Fire Ant representatives rejected the plan. I don’t know if the Flying Eagle caused trouble again, or if the Black Fire Ant representative has his own interests and considerations, or a combination of both.
The protagonist was not disappointed either. The response from the Black Fire Ant representative was something he had expected, and such an answer was exactly what he wanted. He did not expect the other party to agree to this proposal, but had other plans.
It would be stupid if the Black Fire Ant representative agreed. The assistance that should have been shared by all civilized ant tribes will become the sole share of the black fire ant nation. Moreover, to provide a large amount of assistance via land route, the black fire ant transport team will occupy at least thousands or even tens of thousands of strong ant colonies, and the journey will take at least ten days. The consumption alone is very considerable, and it may also be due to fierce insects, natural disasters, Serious casualties due to disease.
It's easy to figure out the stakes. It would be damned if the Black Fire Ant representative agreed!
Ants are very altruistic in their own collective, but when exposed to the outside world, they show more self-interest. Even in the alliance, it is impossible for any ant tribe to bring unbearable responsibilities and obligations to its own tribe for the sake of allies.
But think about it, human beings are not the same. No matter how high the level of science and technology in modern countries is, when dealing with foreign countries, don’t they put interests first? It seems that these countries and these human beings are not much more "noble" than ants.
The rejection by the Black Fire Ant representative made the Leafcutter Ant Nation very dissatisfied, and some other representatives were equally dissatisfied.
The leafcutter ant nation is eager for assistance. They suffered the most losses in the war and are currently very weak. They desperately need every ounce of support. When the scale of assistance was limited, the leafcutter ant queen representative was already very anxious. The protagonist's proposal once gave her hope, but this hope was quickly extinguished by the black fire ant representative.
The aid that the leafcutter ant representatives imagined is gone, which is a loss for the leafcutter ant country. Even if these aids have not yet arrived at all, it cannot stop the leafcutter ant representatives from thinking so. After infringing on the interests of the leaf-cutting ant country, the leaf-cutting ant country can still have a favorable impression of the black fire ant country! ?
This is the purpose of the protagonist. With a proposal that the other party cannot agree to at all, he will disgust the black fire ant country and cause a rift between it and the local core civilized ant tribe - the leaf-cutter ant tribe.
In the past, the Black Fire Ant Nation and the remnants of the Northern Expeditionary Army also made trouble for the Ant Alliance Nation, and the protagonist just made a small counterattack.
He also calculated that this counterattack would not bring negative consequences to the alliance and the current war. What’s more, the protagonist has another plan to solve the current predicament!
In addition to the leaf-cutter ant nation, some representatives of various tribes who have good relations with the leaf-cutter ant nation, or who have conflicts with the black fire ant nation, or even those who are simply eager for justice, have accused the black fire ant representatives, thinking that the black fire ant nation Unable to help allies as much as possible.
Anyway, this plan will not harm the interests of other ant clans, but it will benefit the alliance. The delegates all thought so.
The Black Fire Ant representative Bai Gumo could not argue. He did not know how to argue. He just refused over and over again. The Black Fire Ant Nation would never agree.
The Black Fire Ant representative refused to let go, and the other representatives had no good solution other than blaming!
————
The meeting went on for a long time amid accusations and noises. Not only the leaf-cutting ant country was very anxious, but most of the representatives were also in the lengthy meeting, hoping to discuss a result.
The protagonist has been silent all the time. Before stumbling upon the Black Fire Ant Country, he already had a very feasible draft plan, which he was currently improving in his mind.
At this time, he also felt that the time was ripe, so he sent a message, interrupted the endless quarrel, and then shared his plan.
The noisy messages disappeared almost instantly. Representatives of all ethnic groups carefully and cautiously examined this strange, risky but seemingly feasible plan supported by evidence!
Quiet, long quiet!
The representatives of each ant clan did not send out any meaningful messages. Occasionally, various emotions were sensed from the tentacles, which were a mixture of surprise, surprise, fear, and doubt.
Many representatives were disconnected from the tentacles for a time and communicated alone with the representatives next to them, not knowing what they were talking about. The leafcutter queen representative even left the meeting briefly to pass the information packet to a leafcutter worker ant outside the conference room. The worker immediately left again, not knowing who to pass the information to!
The plan proposed by the protagonist that aroused such a big reaction from the representatives was to use water transportation on the Qinghe River and its tributaries to provide assistance, and the transportation method would be walnut boats or other similar ships.
Water transportation is the most common method of long-distance transportation in the human world, with the largest transportation volume and the most cost-effective method. Apart from being slower, there are almost no other problems. When transporting large quantities of materials, water transport has been the best choice since ancient times.
But in the ant world, ants cannot swim due to physiological reasons. Once they fall into the water, their blowholes will be soaked in the water and they will be unable to breathe. If they don't get ashore as soon as possible, they will drown. Even aliens like fire ants only form "ant blankets" in the water to save themselves when absolutely necessary.
Therefore, ants are generally afraid of water. Even if a relatively developed ant civilization has emerged, they have never thought of conquering water, and they have never pointed out technologies related to navigation.
But the Legion of God's Envoy King is different. The leader and protagonist of the Legion of God's Envoy has human thinking, and he is not limited by the ant tradition. Everything he did in the Divine Envoy King Legion was basically to use human knowledge to enhance the strength of his clan.
Although all ant civilizations are equally colorful, and ant civilizations that follow different development routes may not be worse than human civilizations that follow technological routes in the future, the protagonist does not know where the development direction of ant civilization is, and he can only take the path he knows best. direction, that is the development path of mankind, to guide the progress of the Ant Alliance.
The water transportation plan proposed by the protagonist is proved feasible by using the original voyage of the God's Envoy King's Legion in Qinghe River as evidence.
Upstream of the leafcutter ant country and the ant federation country, there are the black fire ant country, the army ant country, the sangria flathead ant country, the bullet ant country and the honeypot ant country. Even if there are no walnut trees in their countries, there are chestnuts, hazelnuts, and peanuts. and other nut resources.
As long as they are willing, the protagonist is willing to share the manufacturing technology of walnut boats, or tailor-made hazelnut boats, peanut boats and other technologies.
With these primitive ships, tens of thousands of reinforcements can arrive at the war zone one after another in as little as three to five days or as long as a month with the help of currents and wind, just like the previous legions of the God's Envoy King!
