Volume 18, Chapter 166 Everyone Has His Own Thoughts
Chapter 166 Everyone has his own thoughts
"Matsumoto-kun, Matsumoto-kun, you must believe us!" A very upright-looking president of the *** guild was trying his best to explain to Matsumoto Masamoto: "We have all received ghost letters. We really didn't mean to derail you by being bewitched by that guy. We all know that your plan is better, but the plan of that guy Nobunaga is clearly to rob everyone of the fruits of their labor. If we don't If you follow suit, you may get nothing in the end. You also know that the interests of so many of our people are at stake. As guild leaders, we cannot watch everyone's interests be harmed, right? So we... "
Before the guy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Masamoto Matsumoto's sudden hand. "You don't have to explain to me."
"No, you don't understand." The president thought Matsumoto Masa was angry when he heard what he said, and quickly wanted to continue his defense.
Seeing how excited Matsumoto was, he immediately stopped him: "I don't want to talk to you now because I don't want every president to repeat what I said, so I decided to resolve the matter at once. If you really plan to follow me Do it, then stop pestering me and immediately help me notify as many guild forces as possible and tell them that if they want to do it with me, go to my dungeon for a meeting at eight o'clock tonight, and I will discuss it with you. Everything is clear. No one should come to see me alone before this. I will not meet anyone, and even if you find me, I will not talk to you about anything. When the meeting is over in the evening, if you If you still want to talk to me alone, I promise to talk to you one by one. I will never break my promise."
With Matsumoto Masa's words, the pleading president and other people nearby stopped immediately, and then collectively expressed their gratitude to Matsumoto Masa, and then left Matsumoto Masa to inform acquaintances, and Masamoto Matsumoto also successfully returned to his dungeon. He still had a lot to take care of before the evening meeting began.
Shortly after Matsumoto Masahiro returned to the underground city to arrange work for the evening, three important meetings also began nervously in several other places in Asia.
The location of this first meeting was actually not far from Matsumoto Masa's dungeon, and the people attending the meeting basically included the presidents of all existing guilds in Japan as well as some idle high-end players. What they discussed was actually very simple, that is, how to get along in the future.
"Tell me what should we do?" asked a tall, thick-set president.
A relatively thin president next to him sighed: "Besides completely turning to Masamoto Matsumoto, what else can we do? This time we have offended him terribly!"
A female president immediately continued: "Who says it's not the case! If Matsumoto Masamoto hadn't taken the initiative to release the news and called everyone for a meeting that night, I would have been embarrassed to see him again! We wanted to grab Matsumoto Masamoto's achievements If we end up like this, in the end we will have to deal with the consequences, how do you think we will behave in the future?"
"I don't think it's necessary to completely turn to Matsumoto Masaka." A senior player with a slightly sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said: "Since Matsumoto Masaka wants us to meet him at night, it is clear that he wants to recruit everyone to become * **The meaning of the overlord. For this purpose, I think it is unlikely that he will do anything to us. Most likely he will turn a blind eye to this incident. So we cannot show our cowardice, we must..."
Before the guy finished speaking, the tall and powerful guild president stood up and pointed at him and cursed: "Gong Baotian, you greedy guy, if it weren't for you, our guild wouldn't be where we are now. . When did this happen? You actually dare to talk nonsense here? Do you really think that Masa Matsumoto is a soft persimmon? Or are you just willing to kill us all? Let me tell you, I won’t do it anyway If you listen to any of your sweet talk again, don’t appear in our Tianze Society’s sphere of influence again, otherwise I will kill you every time I see you.”
"President Dadong, what you said is wrong. I..."
"Gongboda, you greedy idiot, President Dadong is absolutely right. I believe your lobbying has caused us heavy losses last time. This time, we will never listen to you again. I propose that you immediately Expell this bastard from our joint meeting. Raise your hands if you agree." As soon as the speaking president finished speaking, he raised his hands, and then immediately followed by a large number of arms raised, and there was a slight pause. In a second or so, more people raised their hands, and in the end, almost no one in the entire venue except Gongboda himself raised their hands.
Seeing so many people agreeing to expel him, Gong Baotian couldn't sit still. He jumped up and pointed at the people present and cursed: "You bunch of bastards who are crossing rivers and burning bridges, why didn't you come out and say these things when we divided the interests? Now that the plan has failed, you blame me. You are so shameless. A little?"
"You idiot, stop making noise there." An older president shouted to the guard at the door: "Someone, throw him out."
When the guy named Gong Boda saw the guard coming to pull him, he immediately struggled to resist, but the words of a president next to him calmed him down. "More than 90% of the world's cutting-edge military force is concentrated here. Do you still plan to challenge us all here?" That's right. The people who can come to the meeting are either experienced players or high-level solo players. None of these people are weak in martial arts, so if you want to resist here, it is basically courting death.
Seeing that the troublesome guy was dragged out, the older president who had called the guards before stood up again and said: "What we are discussing now is not actually how to decide the camp. I believe everyone present who is not an idiot will You should know that we have no other way out except to follow Masamoto Matsumoto wholeheartedly. The purpose of calling everyone here before is just to let everyone unify their voices in advance so that we can obtain the greatest benefits for us in future cooperation. That's all. If anyone still expects to play tricks with Matsumoto Masa, then please leave here now, there is no need for you to attend this meeting again."
"Well said." A guild president who looked like a rich man stood up in a gorgeous armor and said: "All of you here are smart people. I believe you know better than me why we are here. Loyalty, honor , Public ethics, that's all nonsense. There is only one word in the eyes and minds of us people - interests. No matter what your views are on Matsumoto Masaru now, whether you admire him or hate him, it doesn't matter. The key is that he can lead us to victory and earn us greater benefits, so I decided to tie myself to Masa Matsumoto’s chariot and make a fortune with him. If anyone doesn’t want to make a fortune, then please leave silently , but if anyone wants to stand in front of us, then don’t blame me for being rude."
After hearing the president's words, many people present nodded slightly unconsciously, obviously they all recognized this theory.
With the president's words and the elder's words at the bottom, the ensuing discussion became much faster and more productive. Everyone pieced together various ideas and plans one by one to perfect their interest division plan, hoping to get more benefits from the meeting with Matsumoto Masa in the evening without offending Matsumoto Masa again. After all, they owe Matsumoto Masa a lot.
Originally, these people put their interests first and would not care what they owed to anyone. Anyway, as long as they benefited themselves, they would definitely feel at ease no matter how much they offended others. However, although their thoughts are darker, their brains are not stupid. Masa Matsumoto and I showed various tug-of-war states in terms of personal strength, tactical arrangements and even strategic layout, which all illustrates Masa Matsumoto's wisdom and ability. How can such a person allow others to take advantage of him? They took advantage of Masa Matsumoto before and it was completely gambling. It turned out that Masa Matsumoto's plan was so perfect that it could not be modified in any way. Therefore, if they wanted to usurp Masa Matsumoto's plan, they had to mess with the whole thing. You won't get anything except smashing it. In order to prevent similar situations from happening again, they had to follow Masamoto Matsumoto's footsteps, even if they were talking down to Masamoto Matsumoto, even if they had to let Masamoto Matsumoto get the biggest share of the benefits first, they would not hesitate to do so. .
While this group of guild presidents were having a meeting, in a small and highly hidden village located deep in the mountains in another part of the country, Nobunaga Ghost Hand was also having a meeting. Of course, unlike the meeting with nearly a thousand guild presidents and senior players over there, the meeting on Ghost Hands Nobunaga's side was much more deserted, and except for Kohato Kenjiro who was still following him, Ghost Hands Nobunaga I can't find a master around me who can name on ***. It can even be said that there are only a few soldiers and generals left around him.
"President, what should we do in the future?" A player asked, looking at Nobunaga with a sad face.
Before Ghost Hand Nobunaga could answer, another player immediately suggested: "Why don't we also go to Matsumoto Masa's meeting tonight? Even if we offended him, Matsumoto Masa needs to make a gesture, so he shouldn't They are going to kill us all. As long as we lower our posture, I believe we can still gain something. At least we won't be completely disintegrated, right?"
As soon as the guy finished speaking, a guy who looked like he had a hot temper sitting next to Ghost Hand Nobunaga immediately stood up and pointed at the guy and cursed: "Nara Shinsuke, if you are a coward, get out of here and go. Go and take refuge with Matsumoto Masaga as your watchdog. Don’t embarrass us here!"
After being scolded by this guy, Nara Shinsuke also became angry. He yelled back louder. "You idiot, you only know how to fight hard. In the past, we were a block of iron. It didn't matter if we smashed an egg or a stone, it was just hard. But now we only have this layer of egg shells, and you still have to be so damn tough. .You have to spend all our wealth to be happy, right? You said I was a coward, but I think you are a fool. If I were a coward, I would have followed when so many people quit the membership just now. Now, which one of you who can stay is not for the good of our guild? I am giving suggestions to the president. You idiot, you know how to force yourself. If you have the ability, you can find a way out? Otherwise, you can kill Matsumoto Masaru by yourself. Well, then we will all hang out with you from now on, can you do that?"
That straight-faced guy immediately lost his temper when Nara Shinsuke yelled like this. He just stood up to vent out of anger, and now that he thought about it, that was indeed the case. He couldn't beat Matsumoto Masaga, and their guild couldn't compete with Matsumoto Masaga's forces anymore. In this case, there were only two choices. Either give up your dignity completely and surrender to Masamoto Matsumoto, and from then on be a lackey, charging at the forefront, and after the battle is over, others will gnaw on the remaining rotten bones. Or just be tough and go it alone. However, the first rule is that although there are droughts and floods, the harvest is guaranteed, but the rewards are small for the big efforts, and I will probably never get ahead again in this life. As for the second method, I don’t know if there will be any reward, but the effort will definitely not be much smaller than the first method, and may even be more difficult. But it is true that there is one advantage to working alone, that is, there is hope for redevelopment in the future, but this hope is basically as illusory as winning the lottery jackpot.
"Don't think about taking refuge in Matsumoto Masaru." Just as those members were thinking, Kohato Kenjiro suddenly spoke. "Guishou-kun and I have discussed it before, and we plan to develop independently. Even if we don't borrow the east wind from Masamoto Matsumoto, we will not completely disappear."
Ghost Hand Nobunaga also nodded and said: "Yes, this is the result of our discussion. I hope everyone can support us."
"President, it's not that I don't support you. It's just that I want to hear you explain why you do this? I always feel that this is very dangerous." Nara Shinsuke asked.
After hearing Nara Shinsuke's question, everyone else also looked at Nobunaga Ghost Hands, obviously everyone wanted to know the answer. Nobunaga looked at their expressions and knew that he couldn't explain it, so he said: "Actually, I hesitated at first, but then I figured it out. Although Masamoto Matsumoto behaves benevolently and righteously outside, I never believe that he really doesn't care about us cheating him. He just doesn't have a good reason to attack us directly. It's not that he really doesn't hate us. So, once we really join Matsumoto Masa, I think Although he will definitely accept us to show his tolerance, secretly he will definitely play dirty tricks on us. On the one hand, he will continue to assign difficult tasks to us and use us as cannon fodder to consume our strength. On the other hand, he will distribute benefits. On the other hand, what we get is definitely the least, and we may even be working for nothing, so there is no way out following Masamoto Matsumoto."
"Then wouldn't it be better for us to do it ourselves?"
"It can't be said to be better, it can only be said to be a narrow escape. No, it's not that serious." Ghost-hand Nobunaga thought for a while before continuing: "If we don't take refuge in Matsumoto Masa, then he can't directly order us to go What to do. Of course, he can use national justice to suppress us, but we have offended all the guilds in the country this time, so we don’t have to consider the image issue at all. To put it lightly, we are now That hob meat, as long as we are rogue to the end, Masamoto Matsumoto can't do anything to us. No matter how rogue we are, we are still communists after all, and he can't attack us directly. When they fight back against the Chinese, we can definitely follow them They act together. Although we are not under unified command, the combat effectiveness of Kohato Kenjiro and I is still there. With everyone's efforts, it should be possible to capture one or two small cities. And no matter how we fight, we are resisting the Chinese after all. , so other *** guilds should not make things too difficult for us, so that we can at least gain a certain living space after the war. As for future development, I think if there are two small cities, at least we will not Is it worse than now?"
After hearing Nobunaga's explanation, everyone around him fell into thinking, but as long as they figured it out, they would accept Nobunaga's opinion. After all, this plan is currently the most beneficial method for them. . Of course, this is just what they think. If they knew about my relationship with Matsumoto Masa, they would probably never consider this plan.
The meeting of Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the meeting of those *** presidents were held at the same time in Tianjin, so the Chinese region naturally couldn't take any time off either. As our main combat force was attracted by the incident of the Russian Protoss, and the counterattack plan devised by Ghost Hand Nobunaga once again delayed the return of our elites, the invasion of the Russian Expeditionary Force progressed rapidly. Although we have used various tactics here, including exchanging space for time, the tactics are only auxiliary means after all. We cannot copy the unique strategy of Zhuge Wuhou who sang the empty city strategy with a guzheng at all. Therefore, the interception plan depends on the number of personnel. With the huge gap between the quality and the quality, there is no progress at all except slowing down the speed of the Russian invasion.
However, things are different now. The matter with the Russian protoss has been taken care of, and the crazy counterattack of the Japanese was stopped by our thunder blow. After freeing up our hands, we are not afraid of the Russians at all. After all, we are no worse than them in terms of high-end force or number of personnel. Previously, multi-front operations dispersed our strength. Now it is our turn to clenched our fists and beat people up.
Of course, before you hit someone, you must at least coordinate your offensive strategy. After all, the Russian army has invaded too deep into the hinterland of our country. The biggest problem in fighting on our own country's soil is that we have to pay for all the battlefield damage, so we must plan carefully for the details. Of course, in addition to the detailed arrangements for this battle, Rose also has a larger plan, which is the counter-invasion of Russia.
The so-called loss within the wall is to make up for it outside the wall. Since the Russian invasion has caused internal losses to us, why can't we break into Russian territory and make up for this loss? You must know that the area in Russia close to Chinese territory is basically no man's land. It is not only large in area, but also rich in resources. It is easy to seize and the benefits are huge. Now that we have both strength and excuses, we would be really sorry for ourselves if we didn’t take a piece of meat from those polar bears with such a good opportunity.
