Before Tianyuan reaches a million-level scale and completely rebuilds Qinggang City, the mining island in the southern fire domain is destined to be an area that needs to focus on defense and low-key development for a long time to come.

Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be too much credit here, there will only be endless hard work.

If you directly assign those ambitious guys from the territory, it will be equivalent to sending people to the frontier.

Even Chen Shen, a hardworking and hard-working man, would not be willing to come here to "goof around".

Therefore, choosing a capable person from the local area to manage it is actually the best choice.

However, Sun Guangmin, the only manager left after the Cha Cha Mining Island went through chaos, actually perfectly met all of Sumo's selection requirements, which even made him suspect that Hu Shulin was telling lies. Later, he found Spicy Iron Hammer for verification and was convinced that Sun Guangmin was

He is indeed such a rare talent.

First, Sun Guangmin has qualified management and development capabilities, but he does not have much ambition.

It can be clearly seen from the development history of Tiantie Island that he has always carefully controlled the pace of Tiantie Island's external expansion and maintained a steady internal accumulation and improvement of strength.

This is exactly in line with the future positioning of Mining Island, which is not to seek merit, but to seek no faults.

Second, Sun Guangmin is one of those rare managers who can recognize and openly admit his shortcomings.

Sumo was extremely surprised when he heard from Hu Shulin that there were managers who were not responsible for military affairs.

In the wasteland, force is often directly related to survival. Negligence in military affairs may lead to unpredictable consequences, such as defense loopholes, resource plunder, and even the destruction of the entire settlement.

However, Sun Guangmin was willing to hand over this part to outsiders and successfully led Tiantie Island to a relatively stable development path, which had to make Sumo look at him with admiration.

Third, Sun Guangmin's attitude towards survivors is very special, which is also one of Sumo's most valued advantages.

As the wasteland environment becomes more stable, local gathering areas will gradually enter a stage of peaceful development.

At this stage, internal stability is far more important than external threats.

Sun Guangmin is admired and loved by the residents of Tiantie Island.

Otherwise, the evacuation of the crowd on the pier in the afternoon would not have been so smooth, which was in stark contrast to the survivors arriving from other islands one after another.

In a short period of time, Sumo decided to observe Sun Guangmin's performance for a period of time, but the premise was that Tianyuan needed to take over the defense of the mining island.

However, I believe Sun Guangmin will not have any objections, after all, he has chosen to delegate power before.

"In fact, everyone has advantages and disadvantages. There is never a perfect person in this world. And my criteria for selecting people have always been comprehensive abilities. Since you can be recognized by me for this job, there is no need to belittle yourself.

If you are not capable enough, of course, if you have no confidence at all, I can also find someone else to come and arrange other work for you."

After a pause, Sumo continued to say with a smile.

"How about it, do you want to try it?"

Sun Guangmin swallowed.

It sounded like Soma gave him a choice of yes or no, but in fact there was only one option.

"I I have a question?"

"What?"

"If I continue to be the manager here, can I not use the name Tianyuan for a short time?"

Sun Guangmin gritted his teeth and said, Hu Shulin and others sitting behind him were all stunned.

"Tell me what you think." Sumo thought for a moment and showed encouraging eyes.

Sun Guangmin pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly: "If after we join Tianyuan, the mining island cannot get a lot of support to promote its development in the short term, then the best strategy is to keep a low profile as much as possible to reduce the influence of other forces.

Attention and suppression.”

"If in the eyes of other forces in the Southern Fire Territory, Mine Island is Tianyuan's Mine Island, then we are now Tianyuan's breakthrough point and weakness. Our current strength is far from enough to withstand such pressure. On the contrary, if Mine Island

In the eyes of the outside world, it is independent and an independent gathering place. Once we get the support of weapons and resources, we will quickly rise to become a strong gathering place in the southern fire region, with overwhelming advantages."

“And it’s so much more than that!”

As Sun Guangmin talked, the thoughts in his mind became more and more active.

"Maintaining an independent identity will not only help us avoid unnecessary risks, but also win us more initiative in external communications. We can put down our status and interact with other forces in the Southern Fire Territory to seek the most beneficial cooperation opportunities.

, instead of being bound by the limitations of identity. We can also use force to fight with surrounding forces without worrying about the impact of public opinion on you and Tianyuan."

"Maybe it won't take long for the mining island to develop into a gathering place for millions of people. After all, we still have many islands suitable for human habitation. At present, we just don't have the advantage to attract survivors to join. Once a cycle is formed, there will definitely be a large population.

With the addition of these people, our mining and smelting speed will be significantly improved. By then, the mining island will be able to continuously deliver large amounts of minerals to Tianyuan, and will no longer be a burden that requires constant support."

The clear explanation was a bit surprising. Not only did everyone in the conference room feel thirsty and couldn't help but applaud Sun Guangmin in their hearts, even Feng Long, who had been standing at the door, poked his head in to take a look.

I have to say that what Sun Guangmin described is very convincing.

Tianyuan's mining island and the independent mining island are indeed two different things in the eyes of outside survivors.

If it only receives funding from Tianyuan but remains independent from the outside world, then it will definitely be just around the corner to become a large force in the Southern Fire Territory.

However, unlike everyone who was persuaded, Sumo didn't react much, but still looked at Sun Guangmin intently.

"Any more?"

Sun Guangmin was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what Sumo meant by "Is there anything else?"

What he wants to hear is not some empty ideals, but practical and feasible measures.

For example, it is no problem for the mining island to become independent, but how to ensure that no one leaks information during the process?

Even if we can ensure that everyone who currently knows the news is kept quiet, even if new people join in the future, no news will be disclosed to the outside world.

Is it possible to fabricate a transaction object out of thin air to deceive people when a large amount of materials come in and out?

Fortunately, Sun Guangmin had already thought about this issue secretly when he was sorting out the information on the mining island.

Now he was not frightened. He paused for a moment to think and then continued.

"Lord Su, would you mind using the Green River Territory to put on a play?"

"Green River Territory?"

It seems like a familiar name.

Sumo recalled it carefully, and then he remembered where he had heard this name after being reminded by Spicy Iron Hammer.

It turned out to be the smart-aleck territory in the Ten Thousand Paths War, but I didn’t expect to encounter it again?

"Very well, tell me your plan."

The negotiation between Tianyuan and Mining Island lasted for a full hour.

While all the survivors on the dock were still protesting, news like bolts from the blue came one after another.

I don’t know who shouted it out, and it immediately detonated the already lively scene.

"What, Wu Jiahao, a man who has killed a thousand swords, what qualifications does he have to refuse on behalf of our mining island?"

"Damn it, where is this guy? I'm going to kill him now!"

"And Encobat, who gave him the courage to open his mouth to the lion Su Shen?"

"Don't worry, there will be a second round of negotiations. Even if we can't join Tianyuan, we can still use minerals to buy a lot of good things from Tianyuan."

"What's the use? What we want is to join, not to trade!"

"Protest, we protest, these managers do not represent our ideas at all!"

After a chaos, there are currently only four managers left in the Mineral Island Alliance.

I heard that during the negotiation process, Sun Guangmin agreed, Hua Qingyun abstained due to treatment, and Wu Jiahao and Encobat actually voted against. After the two-to-one negotiation dragged into the second round, the survivors gathered at the dock almost exploded.

Are they crazy?

Given the opportunity to join Tianyuan, these two fools could actually vote against it with their feet?

Just when the crowd was rioting and wanted to attack Tiantie Island, directly eliminate Wu Jiahao and Ngcobat's humanitarianism, and cancel the two objection votes, Sun Guangmin hurriedly rushed out and quickly refuted the news.

"Everyone, you have all misunderstood. There is no objection!"

"We just exchanged opinions in private, but how can the manager's opinions be contrary to everyone's opinions? Even if someone wants to refuse, we have to forget it. Now that things have happened, I will tell the truth. It sank last night

Have you seen the two ships with your own eyes?"

"It was Wu Jiahao and Hua Qingyun who led the people to do it. These two bold guys actually attacked Tianyuan's ship for their own selfish purposes. If Su Shen hadn't happened to be inspecting the southern plate with the fleet in the afternoon, otherwise Tianyuan's fleet would have us

If we are regarded as an enemy, there is no problem in launching a direct covering strike against us."

As soon as the words fell, the angry crowd fell silent.

A group of people looked at each other, looking at each other for a while, and some didn't know what to say.

If Tianyuan's fleet visits the mining island, there is no problem if they riot and demand to join Tianyuan.

But now they took the initiative to attack Tianyuan's ships, and their main fleet came to investigate.

Based on the behavior of everyone on the pier, I don't know if they thought they were going to launch an attack.

"And based on the current development level of our Mine Island Alliance and the behaviors you are showing now, how do you qualify to join Tianyuan?"

Speaking of this, Sun Guangmin said with a helpless smile:

"Do you think that any force can join Tianyuan? Not to mention the selection criteria for forces with millions or tens of millions of people when they expand externally. Our mining island has various regulations when recruiting survivors. How come Tianyuan can
