Chapter 249 Reverse Breaking the GameIgor went back to the oneself room, sitting in the candlelight and thinking quietly .
On the way back from Jon's two orders, he carefully listed in his mind and considered every available person around him, and found that he really didn't have a good candidate to push to the stage other than himself. .
Being the mastermind behind the scenes and the uncrowned king sounds very cool, but he also has to have this ability... and the fact is that even if he rolls up his sleeves and goes there himself, the odds of winning are quite slim.
There are a lot of people who can win: the comrades I met when I was a Ranger, the poor sworn members of the logistics department, the friends Jon made during the Wall year, A group of bodyguards brought by James when he joined Night's Watch, a group of Crownlands nobles who were forced to put on black clothed when they were on the wrong team in the two deer fights, etc...
Looking at a lot, but Compared with the total number of Night's Watch of nearly 1,000, it is difficult to get one third, not to mention the winning line of 2/3/2022.
Is it too late to start buying people's hearts now?
……
He took out the ledger and made the calculations. The financial report of the Night's Watch industry is gratifying, but it is an utterly inadequate measure once invested in this bottomless pit of land grants. Spending money to buy votes is undoubtedly the most efficient solution, but it is also the easiest to be caught... There are no perfect laws and regulations in this world, but such things as "buying votes", except for some strange city-states on the other side of the narrow sea, It's impossible to be blatantly accepted by the self-proclaimed decent Westeros... Once exposed, the trouble is endless.
Igor refuses to do things that are not directly proportional to risks and benefits... But apart from using money to pave the way, what advantage does oneself have to quickly win the election?
While I was distressed, there was a knock on the door of the house.
"Please come in."
With a creak, the door was pushed halfway open, and the cold wind blew into the house, causing the candlelight to flicker. A fat silhouette squeezed in, and quickly turned around. Close the door.
"Lord Igor."
"Sam." Chief Logistics Officer nodded, "Good evening, what's the matter."
***
Samwell Tarly, the son of Randyll Tarly, the famous Reach general, was forced by his father to join Night's Watch because he was too cowardly. He has a lot of roles and is also an important role. It's a pity, Igor really doesn't think this fatty can help oneself after crossing over - in terms of knowledge, oneself who has received a full modern world education is far better than the other; in terms of brains, Sam is indeed smart, but it is better than oneself. It's a bit too much; in terms of skill and courage... Igor can't say anything about others, so he won't be reduced to the level where he wants to compete with the guy in front of him.
For many reasons, after Igor returned to Wall, he didn't bother to deal with this person at all... The reason can be summed up in one sentence: the time and energy that may be required and the "cost-effectiveness" of the benefits are not high.
As the head of the Night's Watch industry and logistics department, he has too many things to do, and he can't just waste his time by personal preference.
...
Sam looked nervous, standing at the table, hesitating for a while without saying a single word. As a fairly well-known aristocrat, I am afraid of being born like this, and it is really a talent...
At the critical moment, everyone must pay attention to everyone. With such a mentality, Igor restrained his impatience and pointed to the chair. : "Sit down...you're Jon's friend, and Jon is my friend...so, we can be oneself. Feel free to say anything without restraint."
Sam took a deep breath , as if it was difficult to organize the language: "My lord... I heard Jon talk about the crisis that Night's Watch is facing right now... No matter what others say, I think your land-grant resettlement plan is good anyway, and I support you."
"Thank you." Igor smiled, resting his arms on the table, waiting for the other person to write.
"However, Jon said he wanted to support you as Lord Commander, to be honest... I don't think the odds are good."
Do you still need to remind me, Igor sighed: "Indeed No, do you have any good advice."
"Advice...not really, just a reminder. Sir, how much do you know about the history of Night's Watch and election rules?"
"There are definitely not as many as you, I only know: all brothers who have sworn oath have the right to vote, and those who get more than 2/3/2022 votes are elected... Speaking of this, I just want to find someone to understand Now, would you like to tell me."
"No need, my lord." Probably because of Igor's friendly attitude, Sam gradually gathered up his courage and spoke more smoothly: "I came here just to think Let me tell you a little bit about the rules of the Night's Watch election - everyone in the Castle Black can vote, and if you are not in the Castle Black, the commander of the fortress to which you belong or a specific person votes. There is one very important rule- -As long as no one wins more than 2/3/2022, the election will continue on the second day...if still no one wins, then the third day...and so on. Once, this day after day cycle continued It's been over seven hundred days, nearly two years."
"oh?" Igor raised his eyebrows—he really didn't know the story, and Sam had a purpose in mentioning it deliberately. Voting for two years means that there will be no top leader in the Wall defenders for two years. This is undoubtedly an incredible thing for him, who is used to "a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day": these two How did the Night's Watch Legion perform its duties during the year?
As if to see Igor's question, Sam answered it the next second: "During these two years, the Night's Watch Legion actually split into two parts. , they each operate as usual - repairing the Wall, patrolling the wall, defending against the wildling... No matter what they do, at least they haven't let the wildling and Others climb over the wall."
"That is, in the campaign Before a new commander is released, all Night's Watch will follow their own preferences... obey oneself and want to obey the commander's orders, but the entire Legion still operates as usual?" Igor's heart moved, and he suddenly understood what Sam was trying to convey.
"Yes, but that's more important." Sam seemed pleased that Igor quickly understood what oneself meant: "To overrule an order given by the previous Lord Commander, one has to A full term Lord Commander to proceed... We want the land grant program to continue, don't have to win the election right away, just prevent the next Legion Lord Commander from being born - i.e. let no contestant get more than 2/3/2022 The number of votes is enough!"
Sam found a blind spot, Igor was stunned for a moment, overjoyed, and grabbed Sam's shoulder: "You are such a genius!"
"The adults are over the top. It's over." Sam blushed: "It's actually pretty simple on how to stop the next Legion Lord Commander from being born... No one ever wins the first round of voting, we just have to wait until the first day of voting is over, and then vote Give the second place to close the gap between the top two votes...Let them all feel that oneself has the hope to be in the top... Next, we can slowly find a way to break the game!"
… …
A way to get through the crisis suddenly fell from the sky, but it wasn’t as easy as you thought. Taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules to continue the implementation of the land increase resettlement plan while preventing the birth of the next Lord Commander means that a large number of Night's Watch cannot be commanded and called... Although the most important thing in the increase land right now is people, but people are not the same after all. .
However, in any case, the general direction of action is in place... Next, it's all a matter of man-made -- it all depends on the ability of the plan implementer.
