Chapter 402 Negan(1/2)
In fact, if we talk about personal power alone, Gao Bin feels that the Governor is much more powerful than Negan.
In particular, the governor has natural leadership qualities and can quickly make a comeback after failure.
Not to mention Negan, not even Rick can do it.
For example, it was easy to control Alexander and replace him with a governor. He was a born Machiavellian.
And Negan only knows how to use violence.
Having said that, without the numerical advantage, would the Salvation Army still be strong?
It can only be said that it is easier to grow the team by plundering, or that more people choose to survive by plundering resources in the last days.
Rather than saying that the Salvation Army is strong, it is better to say that good people cannot defeat bad people, gentlemen cannot defeat rogues, and principled people cannot defeat unprincipled people.
Of course, Negan is not without merit. Needless to say, he can be a soul figure and is stronger than others.
And his goal has been clear from the beginning. Unlike the protagonist group, Negan only keeps dogs, not people.
Want to follow me? Then you can only be my dog.
Don't worry, you will eat more meat as my dog than as a human, and you will have a higher chance of survival. You will still have a sense of security. People need leaders.
You know, hungry and impatient people will eat people, especially the weak who have no ability to find food. That is local famine and hell on earth.
The first thing he will do is his own children, and the second is women.
If zombies can't be defeated, can weak humans still be defeated?
In comparison, Negan only collects two kinds of people.
The first category, the weak.
Negan collected a lot of power that was insignificant and was a pity to throw away, so that they can become workers of the group. They will not starve to death, but they will make contributions.
In other groups, these people are the type who are less successful than others in terms of survival, but other groups will regard them as weak.
Negan has no human rights here and is a dog among dogs.
The second category, the strong.
They are responsible for collecting supplies, fighting, and collecting protection fees.
It is similar to the hospital police system in Season 5, but it is more mature than the "playing house" system.
Credit insurance?
No matter what, you are the only one begging to stay, there is no such thing as moral kidnapping.
In the Negan team, if you are useful, you eat the delicious food first.
If you are useless, do the work you can do.
The wolf pack system has clear rewards and punishments, and the big lollipop combination makes the people under the beating dare not fart.
Negan is a man who can distinguish between primary and secondary conflicts.
He knows very well that nothing is as important as surviving. Killing or not, partners or not, these things are all tools for him to survive.
This is in sharp contrast to the protagonist group.
For example, when he was fighting with his rebellious deputy to see who could be the boss, he was actually killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
He could have killed the deputy with one shot on the spot, but he chose to fight.
The reason is that if there is a deputy, there will be another one, and this group of guys who are watching eagerly must be given a warning.
You are all scum, but I don’t mind you because I am better than you, so you can only listen to me.
Only in this way can we continue to manage the team.
At this time, punishment was not as important as convincing the crowd, so he chose to fight.
Between survival and morality, survival is important. As long as you can feed your subordinates, then morality can give way.
This is why I didn’t hesitate to smash the heads of Contra and Glenn.
From their point of view, this is just a new wolf pack, and if they want to recruit them, they will need psychological and physical persecution.
This is also the reason why Rick was asked to pick up the ax alone. The leader was timid. If he faced him, he would remember being surrounded by zombies, his companions were killed, and his son's hand was almost chopped off.
This is called spiritual castration.
When there is no conflict between survival and morality, he will apologize to the fat warehouse manager and say that he can fuck her to make her feel better.
At that time, he really felt that he was a handsome guy, while the other person was a fat girl with low self-esteem.
He would also apologize in the garbage dump and apologize to the Women's Army for killing all their people.
When faced with his men trying to force a woman to have sex with Shasa, he cut his throat with a knife, because he also looked down upon such a coward who extended his claws to women.
Between survival and morality, he chooses survival. When there is no existential crisis, he chooses morality.
In terms of morality, this person has set the rules and it is an iron law. The distribution is predictable, the more you work, the more you get. The weak are protected, and they naturally obey the public.
Eugene's instant defection was because he saw that such a group was safer. As for his subsequent defection again, it was because he saw the determination of the protagonist group to risk their lives.
The weak are afraid of the strong, the strong are afraid of the ruthless, and the ruthless are afraid of risking their lives. This has been true since ancient times.
When Rick did not bow his head in the face of powerful power, but continued to say that he would kill Negan without fear of death, the direction of the wind changed.
Rick, on his side, has no intention of continuing to live. Even if they are all dead, he can still fight for his glory, surpassing the Salvation Army in terms of momentum.
Eugene will naturally choose the side with a greater chance of winning.
Why is it called the Salvation Army?
This name is also very interesting. It is possible that in their eyes, they are protectors. Under their protection, people will continue to produce and pay tribute.
Of course, what they protect is this group of people from being enslaved by others, not the threat of zombies.
But if zombies really come, they will take action.
Because who would give up a pig that produces fresh pork?
Just pull the knife, and it will grow back after a while, so why not do it.
This system is the same as collecting protection fees from gangsters.
The gangsters only fight other gangsters who intrude into their territory. As for how the store makes a profit or whether it loses money, it is not up to them.
Therefore, it was strong at the beginning because of cohesion.
It was strong in the mid-term because it took the lead in developing into a group and had a certain scale.
Other groups are still living somewhere, and they have expanded their teams to play with zombies.
This gives them more energy to collect materials, the last wealth of human civilization, and the most complete weapons.
Later on when the bridge was built, it can be seen that the Salvation Army is almost composed of young workers, there are no idlers, and it has a real factory style.
It doesn’t matter what its origin is, as long as it is strong, it’s all good. This is very consistent with the rules of survival in the apocalypse.
The strength in the later stage is based on the accumulation in the mid-term, while other teams only think about playing house.
It’s not feasible to let a bunch of young people who are in their prime and have nothing to worry about go farming.

Even among the workers of Salvation Hall, there are no old, weak, sick or disabled people to hinder them, they only want useful people.
Other teams include the elderly, the weak, women and children, those who cannot do heavy work.
Therefore, it is normal to rob other people when there is nothing to collect. Could it be that a group of people went into the woods to rob and sit together to fish?
A group of gentlemen sitting together and fishing quietly will turn into a new fight scene in less than three minutes.
The cause is probably that one of them was bitten by a mosquito, which scared away the other person's fish, and then a bite came...
This is also the disadvantage of a strong team. With so much power, you can't kill zombies every day.
Looking back at the protagonist group, there is only one Brother Nu, who is mainly responsible for hunting.
If Brother Nu was asked to grow potatoes every day and stay away from his beloved motorcycle, he would probably go crazy himself.
In short, Negan may have his own uniqueness, but in front of Gao Bin now, his Salvation Army is simply not enough.
If they really fight, they probably won't be as powerful as Andrea's female guard.
You must know that her female guards are fed with bullets, and each of them is a sharpshooter.
As long as we keep a distance between them and get a headshot at full roll, no matter how many Salvation Army soldiers there are, will they be able to have as many bullets as Gao Bin?
What? Bullets are limited?
Haha, that’s too much to underestimate Gao Bin.
He has already started to prepare a factory. Although it is far from the level of producing ammunition by himself, it can still be done to recycle the bullet casings.
He has many talented people, not only with combat capabilities, but also with scientists and engineers. Sooner or later he will be able to build his own arsenal. By then, are you worried about running out of bullets? You should be worried about too many bullets and nowhere to use them.
As for whether it is feasible to recycle bullet casings and backfill them to make new bullets, Gao Bin can only say that the wisdom of our ancestors is unimaginable by future generations.
During the Anti-Japanese War, how did the great People's Liberation Army solve the bullet problem?
"There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made them for us..."
