Chapter 768 Unable to Reach an Agreement
When Pu Weichao said this, Xu Sanshui and Yao Chengjie's expressions changed. Clearly, they hadn't expected today's meeting to turn out like this.
Seeing their astonished expressions, I remembered what Chu Yu had told me before: the unification Su Mu wanted was a dictatorial unification under his own rule, not the cooperative unification he talked about. This guy really knows how to lie.
This is precisely why Su Mu and Sister Jing couldn't reach an agreement. Both sides had their own ideas and wanted to achieve the great cause of unification according to their own thoughts. As a result, they couldn't reach an agreement, and the consequence of not being able to reach an agreement was just to continue talking nonsense, ultimately achieving nothing, wasting not only time but also resources.
Now Pu Weichao has gathered everyone together, completely disrupting Su Mu and Sister Jing's plans, and then starting over according to his own wishes. It's truly a brilliant move.
"What did you say? Unification? Unify where? Us?" Xu Sanshui asked incredulously.
Pu Weichao's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "Yes, we need to unify our four communities. The Delta region is a very large area. Have you thought about the ultimate consequences if we continue to be scattered?"
Everyone fell silent; clearly, they had all thought about this matter.
"The consequence will be annihilation. If we don't unite, our four communities will be wiped out sooner or later. Su Mu mentioned the dam before. I don't know if you know about this, but I'm sure that the dam has changed hands now. If they start to take an interest in the Delta region and start to extend their reach to our side, who will be the first to suffer? Yao Chengjie, I think it will be your side, after all, you are closest to the dam."
Yao Chengjie's expression was not good. "So what?"
Pu Weichao raised an eyebrow. "It's nothing. I just wanted to remind you that you should have already seen the strength that the dam showed before. Because of Xu Le of the dam, the central town was transformed, and it was also because of them that Jiangbei almost disappeared. Now that the dam is gone, it means that there is an existence even more powerful than the dam that destroyed them. Such strength is not to be trifled with."
Yao Chengjie said, "Okay, even if what you said makes sense, how should we unify? How should we cooperate? Even if we follow the current situation and there is no friction on the surface, do you know what is happening behind the scenes? We have already fought in secret to compete for resources. Do you think this can unify us?"
Xu Sanshui did not deny this point. "Yes, on the surface everyone is getting along well, but that's because of the existence of the resort. Everyone knows that as long as the resort exists, it can maintain the stability of our three parties and prevent the situation from collapsing. But if we really want to cooperate, these issues cannot be resolved. Even if we agree just because you say so, the people below will not agree."
What they said makes a lot of sense. We did overlook this point at the beginning. Whether it's cooperation or unity, it must be based on stability and harmony. If there are hidden rivalries or problems, it will be very difficult to cooperate.
However, upon closer examination, none of these are problems. If a common enemy were to appear before us, we would likely have no choice but to cooperate, even if we didn't want to. The enemy that Pu Weichao has brought up is the dam.
But the threat hasn't materialized yet, and everyone is clinging to a sense of complacency, believing the dam won't come over. But no one knows the truth.
Pu Weichao continued, "So, you don't actually want unification, right?"
Xu Sanshui said, "Cooperation is fine, but who will be in charge if we unify? The people at the resort? Or will you, Lu Xiaonan, be the leader? Do you think you have the ability to manage the entire Delta region?"
Faced with Xu Sanshui's questions, I gave a wry smile. What kind of nonsense is this? It's clearly a discussion about unification, why drag me into it?
Su Mu then spoke up, “Unification is not impossible. As for those hidden conflicts, they are just minor issues. Moreover, once unification is achieved, these conflicts will naturally be resolved. The most crucial question now is how to achieve unification. Should it be centered around the resort, with the other three parties cooperating to achieve unification? Or should someone step forward and unify directly?”
Yao Chengjie said, "You're using a fallacy, Su Mu. You want to be a dictator, don't you?"
Su Mu's eyes were unfriendly.
Yao Chengjie sneered, "What, did I say something wrong again? Don't think that others can't see through your little schemes."
Seeing that they were about to start arguing, I felt very annoyed and shouted, "Alright! I called you here to discuss unification, not to argue. Pu Weichao, continue."
Pu Weichao said, "I can see your attitude. You all want to give up unification for your own little interests. Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you. The previous tripartite cooperation was facilitated by the resort. Since the three parties are now in such serious conflict, fine, I suggest that you terminate the tripartite cooperation from now on. From now on, the three of you will be independent and have no connection with the resort."
Su Mu and the other three, including Sister Jing, were completely stunned when they heard this.
They never expected Pu Weichao to pull this stunt. It was completely unconventional. Wasn't the plan to unify the parties? How come you're being even more radical than others, directly dissolving the tripartite cooperation?
Su Mu's brows were furrowed, his face was grim, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Yao Chengjie looked at Pu Weichao with disbelief in his eyes.
Xu Sanshui asked, "Why are you doing this? The tripartite cooperation has nothing to do with the secret conflict between the three of us."
Pu Weichao sneered, "Since we can't reach an agreement on unification, what's the point of talking about it? The tripartite cooperation is indeed unrelated to your secret conflicts, but your secret conflicts will affect the cooperation sooner or later. So, rather than suffer a long pain, it's better to end the tripartite cooperation directly. That way, you will be free. As for unification, since you are all unwilling, I don't want to force you. We might as well all die together then."
No one expected Pu Weichao to say something like that. What does he mean by "let's all die together"? Weren't we talking about unification? This is clearly talking about division!
Apart from Xu Sanshui, everyone else looked very serious.
I glanced at Chu Yu and noticed that her expression was also very serious. Finally, seeing Pu Weichao's nonchalant expression, I immediately understood the purpose of his words.
I couldn't help but curse inwardly: That's fucking ruthless.
