Tang Zheng's feigned weakness plan failed. When the group leaders learned from the Germans that two thirds of the natives belonged to him, they immediately changed their attitude and saw him in a new light.
"This guy is a tough opponent, and he'll also make a good human shield!" The Russians and the Swedes decided to approach Tang Zheng for an alliance to jointly confront the French.
In the end, the British chose to ally with the French, who have the strongest power. The Germans, uncertain what benefits were promised to them, also started to show enmity towards Tang Zheng.
"These Asians are the weakest in strength but have the most indigenous slaves. Why not eliminate them first?" The French group leader approached the Russians and Swedes, persuading them, "How about we divide them evenly? I've decided not to demand more natives just because I'm stronger."
The two group leaders didn't answer.
