Chapter 1981 Don't do porcelain work without diamonds
However, even if this is the tip of the iceberg that Jiang Tian deliberately exposed to the outside world, I am afraid it will not be too different from other top forces.
After all, the Merchant Alliance is an established force and does business in the sky island world.
At the beginning, when other alliances had not yet reached the top level of power, the Merchant Alliance was recognized as the first top power.
Because the division of power at that time did not rely on force.
It depends on the amount of supplies you have, the area of the island, the number of people, etc.
Therefore, Jiang Tian's temporary dealings with the outside world naturally include these things.
However, as time changed, new divisions of power levels emerged.
However, they still did not dare to underestimate the Merchant Alliance, and still classified him into the ranks of the top forces.
Even if the business alliance does not have a real meaning, it relies on force to appear in everyone's field of vision.
But the Merchant Alliance has such huge supplies and an astonishing population.
These two points let others know that unless the merchant alliance has no intention of developing power, it has no ambition to attack other people's islands.
If so many people had to use their own weapons, wouldn’t their fighting power be so impressive?
Some people may say that although there are advantages to having a large number of people, it depends on what kind of people they are.
If they were all warriors or generals, there would be nothing to say. Such strength could only be described as terrifying.
But if it's just a group of ordinary people, a group of powerless beings, even if you equip such people with standard weapons, I'm afraid it won't have much effect.
Compared with those professionals, such people will definitely be crushed to death.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, this kind of number can only be called more powerful cannon fodder.
But no one is a fool, even if there is no powerful person in the business alliance.
But relying on the huge wealth the other party controls, this is not difficult at all.
As long as the other party is willing and pays a certain price, he can exchange warriors with other survivors in the world channel.
Even if you are willing to spend money, even military generals can buy it.
Maybe others will consider whether the money is worth it.
But for Jiang Tian and the merchant alliance, as long as it is something they like, there is no need to talk about money.
Anyway, if the money is gone, you can make it again, but for some things, such as military commanders, etc., the store may not be available after passing this village.
In fact, there is another reason. Jiang Tian feels that it is not a pity, and that he does not care no matter how much money is spent.
That is, all the money came from those who bought his weapons, catapults, crossbows for sieges, as well as water, wine, food, etc.
That is what people often say, 'The wool comes from the sheep!'
Even if I spend a hundred times a thousand times to buy it back now, Jiang Tian believes that one day, these people will buy it back ten times a hundred times on this basis.
So no matter what, even the Merchant Alliance has never really taken action.
But it was also recognized that the other party belonged to the top force, and it was not an ordinary top force, but one of the three top forces that towered over everyone.
The first one on the list is naturally the World Alliance, which is also the first force to establish an alliance in the sky island world.
Ranked second is the 3333 Empire. He was the first person to change the name of the alliance force to the Empire.
As for why the Merchant Alliance is ranked third, it's just because he has never made a move.
Of course, some people don't understand that Merchant Alliance is just a businessman, and everyone usually has to do business with him.
So even if you can beat him, there are people who are better than him.
In order to negotiate good business with Jiang Tian, she would stay as low-key as possible in front of him.
So if you judge him as a top power, they are meaningless.
After all, the original island area and richness of materials were among the best in the air island world.
You said that when the standard for evaluating power is changed to force value, the previous ones will naturally not count.
You said that you continue to evaluate the Merchant Alliance as a top force, and those people also agree.
Based on the wealth the opponent has, it is definitely not difficult to spend some money to recruit a few general-level people to guard the camp.
But if you say that your strength reaches the top three, they won't recognize it.
After all, the strength of the World Alliance and the 3333 Empire is there. They have experienced hundreds if not thousands of wars in their own regions.
And every time, someone watched and recorded the fighting at the scene.
Otherwise, if you just rely on your own words to say how powerful you are and how many battles you have won, not many people will be convinced.
After all, what you hear is what you see and what you see is what you believe. It is a mule or a horse that comes out for a ride.
You must not just talk and not act, otherwise you will only be despised and treated as a joke.
Therefore, whether it is the 3333 Empire or the World Alliance, everyone is convinced by being rated as the top three top forces.
Only the Merchant Alliance, a force that apparently only does business and remains neutral from beginning to end, cannot be recognized.
Although money is everything, it is not absolute.
As the saying goes, there is no absolute truth in the world.
It’s true that your merchant alliance has money, and I believe you can buy generals or recruit warriors.
But even if you buy them, whether these generals or warriors, their strength will definitely not be the most outstanding.
First of all, military commanders are all fished out, not dropped from the sky.
According to statistics from people who are interested in Sky Island World, among the tens of thousands of survivors, many people can be killed by fishing.
But it is estimated that one in a million people may not be able to catch a talent like a military commander.
Otherwise, among the billions of survivors, the number of generals would be in the hundreds.
This number may be ten times or a hundred times lower than your chance of winning the RMB 100 million jackpot.
And everyone knows that this is a real sky island world, not a game world.
If you gameover here, it's basically a real mess.
So unless you have extra items like generals, who would be stupid enough to exchange them for money?
Having no money in the sky island world does not necessarily mean you will die. As long as you still have a fishing rod and your luck is not extremely bad, you will definitely be able to catch some supplies in exchange for food.
But if there is only food, although the problem of food and clothing is solved, he will not starve to death.
But it cannot solve the risk of monster sneak attacks and natural disasters.
Both of these may not be a big deal. As long as you exchange some weapons or something from the merchant alliance, you can escape the disaster.
What you are really afraid of are those ubiquitous air thieves. Once you are taken care of by these people, your good days will come to an end.
