Speaker "Masha", or Martha, has unknown real name, unknown age, and even unknown past.

Short, wearing a cloak that wraps all over his body, and a gray veil that can't see clearly. Apart from the thin arms that you will occasionally take out, you can't see any skin.

She looks like an old lady who has reached the limit of her life. In fact, she has served as the "bipolar" for a hundred years and has survived two mayors. Mayor Li even laughed at herself as the third one.

Unlike Mayor Li, who is "young" and full of vitality and always wants to do something, she is quite low-key, peaceful and even negative.

Although the "both poles" have control over the Twelve Ministry, she actually interferes with the other party's work quite little. On the contrary, Mayor Li basically contacts the Twelve Ministry every day and arranges her various tasks.

Although she has many members in charge of the Citizens' Assembly, her authority is not high, and she is more of a "conventional matter" and "transmitting the name" work. She just needs to follow the procedures of daily work. Most of the time she sits there waiting for the bill to be passed.

"Salary thief"? She once laughed at herself like this, of course, no one dared to answer.

But no one really despises her. Every time Shiqiancheng encounters a major crisis or a major decision, her words are more important than anyone else.

The most important thing is that Shi Qiancheng recognized the strongest combat power, and at least two of the "Four Kings" guarded by the four sides, only listened to her arrangement.

How did Zheng Li know? The female orangutan said.

"Who is the best guard of the four central kings and the twenty-four outer areas? Tsk, you laymen like to compare and compare. The positions are all people, and they are different in individuals and cannot be generalized... But it can be roughly regarded as equality in total combat power, which is the way of balance."

This is not a secret. The four kings of the Central Committee are the "unmoved guard" of the Central Sect, and the twenty-fourth guards of the Fourth Ring Road are also the "unmoved guard" of the local Sect. There was no victory or defeat in the civil war that year, and it was normal for the balance of the top combat power of both sides.

Zheng Li didn't understand the gap between top myths back then, and wondered why four people could compare to the collection of twenty-four people. He lamented that quasi-myths are weak, and others' true myths are at least 1 to 6... Looking back now, the female orangutans could easily fight six myths.

"There has been a change of people, and I don't know which side she is inclined to. "Western" and "South" followed the speaker in the last era, and basically only listened to her. The North is the strongest in Shiqian, no one, so there is no faction."

The female orangutan back then was also casual. As long as Zheng Li dared to ask about this kind of "strange talk", she would dare to say it.

Mayor Li, who did not receive the support of the Four Kings, would naturally focus more on the Twelve Ministry... The local faction actually has similar institutions and organizations, but they lack organizational strength, and their total combat power should still be above the central faction.

There are rivers and lakes in places where there are people. Even when Shiqiancheng was relatively young (only more than four hundred years), the interior is quite subtle.

Fortunately, Zheng Li was not at the time of choice yet... He was not qualified to make a decision, so he could only passively accept the "good intentions" of the big guys.

But he couldn't bear this kindness, but he couldn't refuse...

"You can try it, but I'm afraid I will lose my prophecy within a certain period of time."

“As long as I can do it, you can mention it…”

Zheng Li had a bitter face, a little helpless and uneasy.

It is still a very heavy price to make a "pole" use its capabilities, and even to make the city's "eyes" blind at this critical moment...even if it is only a few days, it is still a very heavy price.

Remuneration, money, resources, and I'm afraid the other party will not be short of. Zheng Li is worried about what the other party wants, or... a political leader.

"Haha, don't be bitter, you guessed it wrong."

The old speaker laughed, and the dim gaze behind the veil seemed to see through everything.

"Uh, I haven't said that, you know what I'm guessing..."

"Isn't it just a little bit of trouble between the central and local sects? Don't worry, it's not a sincere recognition, and it doesn't make sense, let alone what I expect you to be able to do is not a choice of two..."

"Masha" looked at him silently, and his dim gaze seemed to be far away.

The person in front of him probably didn't realize his particularity and importance.

I really think that Li Zhenjun and I spent so much effort to cultivate you, so that we would choose the side and stand on the side of our central delegation? Are we still missing a top thug?

"Remember your hesitation today and keep it going. It's what I expect from you... Go back, if there is information, I will send it here."

Zheng Li was sent off for a confused look on his face. It would take him a long time to understand what the Speaker asked him to "not choose".

Some people... where there are interests, there are factions. In order to get more, they will naturally make fewer others. Shortly after the birth of Shiqiancheng, the differences and disputes between local factions and central factions have accompanied the growth of the entire city. After all, it is the different living conditions on the Fourth Ring Road that have caused all this.

I am doing poorly, so I naturally have to find a reason... The master of the inner ring / the unlucky man in the outer ring must be a very suitable "enemy".

In fact, for a long time, internal contradictions that have not risen to the level of war play a positive role. It allows the inner ring to "unify" in the twelve parts and the two poles, and allows the power of the outer ring to be held in the hands of the twenty-four guards.

When the survival pressure is not great, this "pressure" has indeed promoted the internal unity and progress of the two major forces... Everyone knows that in this cruel world, both sides cannot live without each other.

The central government has technology and living space, and the local government has population and natural resources. The existence of "more than 40 garrisons" makes it impossible for both sides to really destroy each other.

To achieve great unification and centralization? Well, the painful lessons of the civil war have become dark history that neither side is willing to mention.

But with the advent of the new era, with the completion of the Revival Alliance, with the "competition for survival in one city" to "competition for survival in the entire area", and "level of national and even ethnic rejuvenation", this internal behavior of clearly dividing the two factions is obviously a headache.

Maybe to put it simply, before, my own people were fighting at home, but now everyone went out to fight with others... If the relationship was still so bad that it would be a fight between the inside, it would be to drag each other down.

The personnel establishment of the teams sent out of the teams, considering the balance between each other, and even the weapons and equipment of the teams directly under the central department and local teams, the different supply specifications are so great internal friction.

If official public facilities are used, such as the Ministry of Transport's super train, and the cross-city ultra-long-distance freight and mobilization, the "central" priority policy has always been given, there will be big problems... Local war teams and folk war teams will be very unhappy and will continue to accumulate trouble, and these contradictions can be avoided.

Similar things include intelligence support from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, diplomatic connections from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and stations directly under the military headquarters. These things will play a huge role in the future. If we continue to treat them differently, it will undoubtedly be a very disappointing thing. If we treat them equally, then many vested interests will also have opinions (why can't our soldiers be given priority?).

The same thing happened to the traditional sphere of influence of the local faction... Although the local faction seems to have no functionality, the huge wild areas on the Fifth and Sixth Ring Road are all theirs, and industrial towns, fortress cities, and outposts in another world are also indispensable strategic resources.

There is no simpler thing for those who can survive to this day. Under the terrible theme of the era when external survival pressure is too great, Eastern ethnic groups still tend to have higher interests than individuals. Decades ago, local factions and central factions began to reconcile.

But reconciliation...it is because of cracks that it makes sense.

Behind the constant "seeking reconciliation" and "seeking communication" is that there are too many "cracks". Even if the existence of the rank of garrison has reached the same consistency and cooperates in all aspects, some things are really not achieved overnight.

It is said that in some remote areas and distant outposts of another world, where "lords" are still old ideas, they are still living in the civil war era where "the damn central factions are going to die" and "the war is not over yet, we must counterattack".

The top leaders of both sides hope to be more united and respond to the tide of the new era requires the strength of the whole city... But it is impossible for them to disband the power they are now in their hands and reorganize them.

This is not just a matter of personal wishes. The honor battle group below has been around for decades and hundreds of years and heard that its boss was going to disband it and reorganize it with "the damn local pig/the central dog". The first thing to do is to rebel or see if its boss has been brainwashed.

Even if it is really reorganized, it may still lead to a weakening of combat power due to the chaos of tradition, technology, and organization... Not to mention the second civil war that may be caused.

This is not impossible. Although the official media has not reported it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Military Department have extinguished at least three or four times every year. The banner raised is basically "attacking the evil central government and avenging the brothers of the civil war."

Everyone knows that this is nonsense. Civil war happened many years ago, but sometimes, this is a very useful reason and excuse, and this itself can resonate with some foreign towns.

These things originally had little to do with Zheng Li, so he was afraid of this messy thing, for fear that he would accidentally die after being disturbed.

However, he did not expect that his too special identity would be attracted by many people.

"Haha, do we really think we are missing a super thug?"

Zheng Li is still too young...or the level he is in is not enough to provide a bird's-eye view of the overall situation.

He is special, very special, so special that both local and central sects regard it as their own... as long as he does not commit suicide denial.

I won’t talk about the central faction. The relationship between the twelve ministries and him is too subtle. Even if his identity as the “third pole” is not recognized, his sense of identity after his merits (myself) makes many people have a natural favor... Those who know his true identity cannot deny that he has the orthodoxy that the central faction attaches most importance to.

In front of him, the senior cadres of the Twelve Ministry, even the ministers and deputy ministers, were inexplicably shorter than the rest of their lives. As long as this relationship is not too much, he will definitely be recognized by the Twelve Ministry... and it will be very convenient to do whatever he wants to get the support of the functional Twelve Ministry.

The imprint and self-recognition of other local schools became even more obvious.

The direct subordinates of the female orangutan lineage are not the most important point. The most important thing is that he has always lived in the Fourth Ring Road, never trying to live in the inner Ring Road... That's right, this is more realistic than anything else. This is to express his opinion in daily life. In the eyes of many guards, this guy is a very trustworthy person.

It is also a local and central sect. There are not many such people, but there are still some. However, Zheng Li is undoubtedly the most special one among them... As long as he does not die, he will definitely be able to grow into a top combat power!

Mayor Li and Speaker have long known that he considers himself a local faction, but they are still willing to train him, just because they are optimistic about his future.

He is not important now... In this era, force is still important. There is no sufficient power to speak without power. However, if Zheng Li is not surprised, he will definitely become a top combat force. Even if he cannot become the so-called "third pole", he can have a position in the twelve or twenty-four guards.

And this is not the expectation of some people. If you choose either side, you will lose the other side... So there is a reason why the emergence of that "autonomous region" will be approved so quickly.

A new district, an independent new district outside the inherent sphere of influence of the local faction and the central faction is simply a gift from God to Shi Qiancheng... The appointment of the temporary guard Zheng Li was finalized in half a day. Zheng Hongqi's appearance was actually just pushing the cart along the way, making his appointment more like a statement.

"The guard position of the new district is handed over to the Zheng family."

If everything goes well, he will become a banner in fifty years and a hundred years later, and the banner that unites the central and local schools. Those important chess pieces of the new era may be united around him.

There are quite a lot of such flags (chess pieces), but Zheng Li is undoubtedly the best one and the highest limit one.

So seeing that he was slow to "grow" for a long time, the Speaker and the Mayor were so anxious that even the female orangutan guarding the Fourth Ring Road personally interfered.

What they desire is not only an extraordinary combat power, but more importantly, a "adhesive" and a future "leader", a future "guarding" or even a "three poles"... The two poles are in the center, and they themselves have lost the "fairness" recognized by local factions. If the third poles are more inclined to local factions, it is actually a good thing for both sides.

Can Zheng Li figure it out? In fact, that doesn't matter. He becomes stronger as soon as possible, and the key is to turn from a seed into a "flag" that works.

If you become a character to a certain extent, you will naturally have your own choice of position... Before this, the key is not to express your opinion.

The Speaker felt that he had already said it clearly enough... Even if he didn't understand it for a while, he would definitely think it clearly later.

He doesn't choose, he can't choose, nor should he choose. He always acts as a fence-bearer and fence-bearer, but instead the most valuable choice for the city.

The Speaker didn't say it thoroughly, he should understand these things by himself.

At this time, she had just used her ability to find the optimal cause and effect from infinite possibilities.

"...I actually found it. It seems that this favor has been fulfilled."
