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..."
In the popular anti-war song "Song of the Guerrillas", there is such an impressive lyric.
This lyrics also reflects the lack of material conditions of the anti-Japanese armed forces during the Anti-Japanese War.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were short of food, clothing, ammunition, and medicine. At first, they had to use captured enemy supplies for supplies.
Later, with arduous efforts, from backfilling bullets to making new bullets, the construction of the industrial system was completed.
Gao Bin's current environment is much better than that of his anti-Japanese ancestors.
At least you don’t have to start from scratch. With such a large area, there is always an undamaged production line.
As for the raw materials, there is no need to worry. As long as you occupy a space, there are many ways to find raw materials.
His current mid-term goal is to capture Atlanta and turn the entire Atlanta into his own sphere of influence!
Atlanta is a big city in the ugly country with amazing resources.
...
"Gao, the Salvation Army has a lot of people over there, what should we do? Do we want to fight?" Daryl asked.
"We must fight, but if we have a reputation as a teacher, does the other side know our existence?"
"It's impossible not to know that we are very famous and many people come here because of our reputation." Darryl said.
"Well, let's see what their next move is and keep an eye on it."
"I know."
At this time, Rick walked in wearing a police uniform, looking a little haggard. He had been like this since Lori died.
Lori's child died after giving birth to Sean, just like in the play. Rick and Sean were heartbroken.
But because of Loli's death, the two turned their hostility into friendship and raised their young son together. However, Rick's visible disappearance seemed to be full of disappointment in life.
"Rick, are you okay?" Daryl asked with a frown.
"Oh~ I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry."
He is now focused on his work. When there are more people, all kinds of troubles arise one after another, and they all rely on him as the police chief to maintain them.
"Gao, how have you considered the previous matter?"
Gao Bin was stunned for a moment:
"What happened?"
"It's just about the recruitment and selection of new police officers. There are too many people now, and I can't keep up with Li. I need help."
Gao Bin slapped his forehead:
"Sorry, I almost forgot, have the selection criteria been set?"
"It's all decided. A total of 5 people will be recruited this time. Including our original manpower, there will be a total of 8 people, which is barely enough."
"Well, let's recruit them, but they must go to the reserves for training."
"I know, this is the rule,"
"Well, let's do it."
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements."
After Rick finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Gao Bin stopped him:
"Wait a minute, Rick, can you do it in your current state?"
"Me? I'm fine, don't worry, Gao."
"I can't help but worry. I heard from T that you fainted in the bathroom a few days ago?"
"Maybe it's hypoglycemia. Don't you think I'm fine now?"
Gao Bin patted his shoulder:
"I know Lori's death has hit you hard, but this is a fact and it can't be changed. You still have Carl and us. You have to cheer up."
Rick was silent, and finally turned into a long sigh:
"I know, but I just can't get over that hurdle."
"You have to learn to let go and look forward. We have a lot of good girls here. To find one, you should know your identity and status. There are many girls who are willing to recommend themselves as your pillow."
Rick smiled bitterly:
"I don't want to think about this issue for the time being, at least I have to wait until Karl grows up."
"Are you still worried about Karl? He is living better than anyone else now. Look at his performance in the reserves. If he were not too young, I would have transferred him to the company long ago."
Rick couldn't hide his pride:
"As expected of my son."
"Haha, okay, be more open-minded, I need you, everyone needs you."
Rick nodded hard:
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
...
What Gao Bin didn't expect was that before he went to find Negan, this guy actually came to ask for help.
Sure enough, some people are born with the ability to size up situations.
When Gao Bin received the news from Daryl, he was completely confused and thought Negan was playing a trick.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
For example, use negotiation to eliminate Gao Bin?
But the other party showed great sincerity. The location was selected by high-ranking officials, and the number of personnel was determined by high-ranking officials. All they had to do was agree to meet for an interview.
Gao Bin agreed after much hesitation, mainly because he wanted to see what tricks Negan was going to play.
In addition, he has enough confidence in his own strength that Negan cannot cause trouble.
In this way, the two parties decided on the time and place for the negotiation. On the way there, Gao Bin recalled the character Negan in his mind.
In fact, before the end of the world, Negan was just an ordinary semi-family man, not "motivated" enough, very playful, and had a lot of minor problems.
Gao Bin remembers that there was a plot in the original drama that was dedicated to Negan's previous life. As soon as he appeared, there was a scene where he and the little kid played online games.
Although it is said that "men remain young until they die," his wife Lucille doesn't think so. Negan just spent $600 on a credit card to buy a "Happy Days" leather jacket. This is simply childish to the point of stupidity.
It’s no wonder that Lucille is so angry. Not long ago, Negan lost his job as a middle school physical education teacher because of hitting someone. Now he is buying luxury goods just because he will have two jobs with good income soon. It’s strange that he is not angry.<
/p>
You must know that Negan has already been charged with "assault and wounding" at this time. It is not easy for people with criminal records to find a good job. Negan is probably bragging and spending money.
Although Negan is a very unreliable husband, Lucille has no intention of giving up on him. After all, the two were so in love - even the "persuasion" of her best friend Jenny failed to sway Lucille.
But what happened next was far beyond what Lucille could bear: she went to the hospital alone, was diagnosed with cancer, couldn't contact Negan, and then learned that Negan had lied to her about being busy at work.
This was not over yet. After being unable to get through to Negan and Jenny, Lucille suddenly realized that her husband and his best friend were having an affair.
A normal person would be furious at this situation, so Lucille rushed home like crazy.
But when Negan showed up, Lucille hesitated for a while and took out the medical certificate first... Unexpectedly, she never had the chance to take out the gun.
Because after Negan learned that his wife had cancer, he suddenly became a different person and entered the next stage.
During this period, Negan was an out-and-out warm-hearted man, a good person, and a maniac who doted on his wife.
Lucille's treatment started at the same time as the zombie crisis. Seven months later, Negan and Lucille hid in a basement and depended on each other.
Their living conditions are pretty good. They have a generator that can power refrigerators and other appliances. The disadvantage is that they are noisy and can easily attract walking corpses.
Of course, in order to save fuel, the generator is not turned on 24 hours a day. At night, they rely on freezers and ice to keep the medicine warm.
This time, the zombie outside the house never left. Lucille couldn't take a good rest and had to kill it... Thus the dark history of the future generation of hero Negan was born:
Even though I was well prepared, I was almost killed by a walking zombie, but Lucille saved the day by knocking off the last bullet.
The life of the young couple is almost over - it is getting harder and harder to find supplies nearby. Although this means that human threats are more difficult to appear to some extent, the "barren" environment also means that life is unsustainable.<
/p>
They must leave and find other survivor teams to live with... Lucille's words are more about Negan: because Negan ignores reality and has no plans for the future.
Negan is indeed a little too "good" to be normal. He takes good care of Lucille, accompanies her, gives medicine, reads, cooks, and can satisfy his wife in every possible way. No more than that.
This may be the most beautiful time for two people. The unprecedented desperate situation makes Negan and Lucille love each other as if every day is the last day of their lives.
Now Negan's thoughts are all on Lucille. This kind of true and pure kindness and love has made him look like a saint, and he is still reluctant to kill the walking corpse...
It's not that he has no ability, but that Negan is afraid that he will get used to such "killing". That would be too sinful, Amitabha.
When they celebrated their wedding anniversary by eating dog food, Lucille took out the leather jacket she lied about returning as a gift, which moved Negan to tears.
Then he started to express his love again. He felt that he was not worthy of Lucille. He couldn't apologize enough. Why am I so lucky to be with you?
Lucille bluntly said that she can see the "real you"...
The two were deeply in love and had a good night. However, they overdid it. When they woke up the next day, they found that they had forgotten to develop the motor and the last medicine in the refrigerator was broken.
