Volume 19, Chapter 40 The National Defense Force?
"Then what should we do now?" someone asked.
"This is the key issue I want to talk about." Masamoto Matsumoto said seductively: "The number of troops left by the Chinese is very large, and one or a few guilds alone will definitely not be able to stop them. .So, we need a force that can react quickly and suppress this force."
"You mean to merge us into the Ghost Dragon Club?" Yi Ming, the more impressive guild leader, asked aloud.
Matsumoto Masahiro immediately shook his head and said: "It is not a good idea to merge guilds. My Black Dragon Club has already verified this. If we can regard a guild as a company, then we can learn from the modern and perfect business The answer can be found in the concept. A company that is too big, produces everything, and is responsible for everything will definitely not be able to develop. Even the more famous modern enterprise groups are only linked to each other in the industrial chain. The various companies in the group are still independent. Only such a merger can strengthen the strength of each company, but a completely unified monster-like guild cannot give full play to its capabilities. The original Black Dragon Guild was Example. When the original Black Dragon Club only had a few thousand people in my hands, we had already fought against the Chinese many times, and at that time, it can be said that we had never suffered a loss. However, as I There was a mistake in the concept. It was believed that the bigger the guild, the stronger it would be. As a result, the Black Dragon Club continued to grow, and eventually included almost more than 90% of the players in Japan. However, as the number of people and supplies increased, the Black Dragon Club internally But the problems are also multiplying. A series of problems such as waste of resources, inefficiency of government orders, personnel holding each other back, laziness and slippery, etc. have led to the continuous weakening of the Black Dragon Society. It can be said that the original Black Dragon Society was not defeated by the Chinese , but were defeated by ourselves. Therefore, merging existing guilds to create a super monster is not a good idea."
"If this doesn't work, then what does Matsumoto-kun mean?"
"My idea is simple. A unified super-large guild is not a good idea, but we can form a quick reaction force based on the United Nations peacekeeping force. We..."
Just as Matsumoto was about to continue speaking, someone suddenly stood up and shouted: "Matsumoto-kun, don't you have something wrong with your head? Don't you know how effective the United Nations' peacekeeping forces are? There are more than a dozen troops in one." Can a war be fought with a "chaotic" army ordered by a headquarters?"
This president was not targeting Masamoto Matsumoto, but Masamoto Matsumoto's comparison with the peacekeeping force really scared people. The United Nations peacekeeping force is composed of multinational coalition forces. Although each force is nominally under the unified command of the peacekeeping force general headquarters, in fact, each country's force still has its own command system. Generally, any orders issued by the general headquarters are first sent to the troops, and then the troops check the orders and then ask their own country whether to implement them. The troops will not execute the orders until the 'government' of the country says it is OK. In this process, the order was to be circulated all over the world. This reaction speed was several times faster than that of the general defense forces, let alone the rapid counterattack troops. The main reason why peacekeeping forces with such low efficiency have not had any major problems so far is that most of the peacekeeping forces are sent by developed countries, and the soldiers and equipment among them are basically world-class, and their mission is to guard and deter. Most of the armed personnel are scattered armed forces that are worse than guerrillas. Most of the time, the peacekeeping forces even play the role of police. Using top-level troops with more advanced equipment than the regular army to act as police, even if the command system is extremely inefficient, it is not easy to figure out problems.
but. The peacekeeping force is a peacekeeping force. Although Masamoto Matsumoto used the peacekeeping force as an analogy, the Japanese players below all know that they are not a peacekeeping force, and the enemies they have to deal with are not guerrillas. Although most of the remaining troops of our guild are cannon fodder, the main force among them is still very powerful, and the Japanese themselves cannot use advanced weapons that are several generations stronger than the other side like the peacekeeping force to deal with them. Weak enemies. Even the situation is just the opposite. The Japanese need to use weaker weapons to deal with enemies with superior combat effectiveness. In this case, the inefficiency of the command system will be extremely fatal.
Seeing such a big reaction, Matsumoto Masahiro quickly explained: "Please don't get excited. I'm just making an analogy. I don't really want you to come up with people to form a miscellaneous army belonging to different guilds. The combat effectiveness of this miscellaneous army We all know how, so I won’t do anything stupid like that.”
"Then what do you mean...?"
"Actually, I want to rearm a super powerful fighting guild based on a certain guild. This guild does not have a commercial department, logistics, or technology research and development. They only focus on fighting."
“If you don’t engage in commercial activities, where will the money come from?”
"This is the key." Masamoto Matsumoto said: "What I said is that everyone should work together to form a peacekeeping force, which means that everyone should invest a certain amount of funds and materials according to their own strength, and then use these funds and materials to support such a specialized force. An all-combat guild that engages in combat.”
After Masamoto Matsumoto finished speaking, the guild presidents below all fell into despair, and the Japanese players nearby who were watching the meeting also began to think. It can be said that Masa Matsumoto’s method is both new and old. It is said to be new because the idea is very unique. No country has ever used this method to form its own combat force before. It is said to be old because there is a perfect application of this theory in reality, and it has been used for thousands of years.
"Do you mean to form a national defense force?" Someone finally figured out what Matsumoto Masaru meant.
"That's right." Masamoto Matsumoto explained excitedly: "Just like the army in reality, they are very good at fighting, but the weapons and ammunition used by the army are not produced by them themselves, and the personal allowances of the army are not made by the army. Earn it yourself. As for the high-tech weapons used in the army, they are not researched by the army themselves... Well, at least most of them are not researched by them. In short, the army almost does not engage in any activities that are not related to combat, even if it occasionally participates in rescue and other operations. They are all temporary tasks, not the main work of the army. I just hope to follow the model of the National Defense Force and form a Japanese rapid response guild. We guilds, and even free players, can use taxpayers to contribute to this The guild provides financial or material support, and can even provide it with senior combatants. These tax-like funds paid by everyone will be used for the guild's leveling and combat, so that the guild is completely Being separated from things that have nothing to do with combat can maximize its combat effectiveness. On the other hand, precisely because this force was established using the money of us 'taxpayers', its command system is completely independent. . We are only responsible for paying, not commanding. In this way, this guild will have the greatest independence. They do not need to ask any guild for instructions, and can directly launch battles based on their own judgment. This kind of guild has no distinction at all. Cha's command system will have ultra-fast response speed, and its strong combat effectiveness cultivated by using national resources will also ensure that it can fully resist the invasion of the Chinese led by the Frost Rose Alliance."
Matsumoto Masaru said such a long paragraph, but the group of guild presidents sitting below reacted indifferently. They were stunned for a long time and no one came forward to speak. Just when Matsumoto Masaru was wondering why this group of people didn't respond at all, someone finally stood up. "President Matsumoto, I have thought about what you said. I am convinced that the guild formed in this way will indeed have super combat effectiveness as you said. The business theory in modern society also proves that your idea is correct. The more professional a company is, the more competitive it will be. This theory is completely suitable for this guild. But... I really want to know. Who should be responsible for such a national sword created by gathering all the resources of the country in one place? Come and hold the hilt of its sword? Yes, you said that we will not participate in the command, but this guild always has a president. According to you, this guild is an army, and their president Basically, he is the commander-in-chief of the army. But what if this guild president uses this guild to attack other guilds in the country? This sword of the country, created by concentrating the strength of our whole country, attacks the enemy very sharply, but if it falls, It wouldn’t be too weak to go over and kill one of your own, right?”
When this person said this, the people below also started to make noise. The fact is just as the man said, this guild is like an army, but this army does not have to be responsible to anyone, so wouldn't the leader of this army become the Tu Emperor? He can do whatever he wants and no one can stop him.
Masamoto Matsumoto first stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After order was restored in the venue, he said: "As for this problem, I actually think it can be easily solved. In reality, such a completely unconstrained army can indeed easily rebel and overthrow the country.' Government', but this is a game with a complete contract system. Don't underestimate the contract system provided by the system. If used properly, this system is even more useful than artifact-level equipment. For example, this time we formed For this guild, we can write a contract before forming the guild. First of all, the guild is restricted from owning the city. In other words, the guild cannot obtain city ownership through construction, purchase, occupation, etc. in any way. Secondly, we can stipulate that this guild is not allowed to engage in commercial activities and does not allow this guild to participate in trading activities. This can fully restrict its capital flow. Once it does anything detrimental to the country, then we only need to stop funding it. A guild that is completely unable to supply its own supplies will soon be doomed. Of course, the actual rules are definitely more than these two. We can make full use of the system contract to establish a complete contract to completely restrict the behavior of the guild, so that it can It has sufficient autonomy within a limited range without harming its own national interests."
After listening to Matsumoto Masaru's words, Fulcrum City fell into silence again. Everyone is thinking about what Masamoto Matsumoto said just now. If such a contract is really signed, it seems that this guild can be completely restrained. Just like Matsumoto Masaga said, as long as this guild is restricted and does not allow it to occupy the city and conduct transactions in any form, then it will become a deformed monster that is powerful but does not know how to eat. When this monster follows everyone's instructions, When the monster wants to kill the enemy, everyone can feed him. But once the monster tries to fight back against the owner, it is as simple as not giving him food. Even if he can harm the owner's interests, this monster that cannot eat will soon starve to death on its own. Besides, this is a guild after all, not a real monster. The leader of this guild must also understand that he cannot harm the domestic guilds, so he will not do those things at all.
After what Masamoto Matsumoto said, everyone discussed and found that there is really a possibility of forming this guild. Modern business operations have proven the fact countless times that a company must be professional. For example, a company that designs clothing is responsible for the design, and there is no need to consider the production of the clothing. That is the matter of the manufacturer. You don’t have to worry about the sales of clothing, that’s the retailer’s business. In short, a company cannot do everything, it must ensure specialization. Even if a chain enterprise is formed, it must ensure that the chain nodes are completely independent, otherwise it will become a bloated and inefficient incompetent enterprise. Same thing. If a guild is responsible for too many things, the result will be that the guild's capabilities are dispersed, resulting in low overall efficiency of the guild.
If Masamoto Matsumoto proposed this theory in other countries, the people below may not necessarily accept it so easily, but in Japan, they are the country most receptive to this theory, because Japanese players have all seen this theory. Two extreme applications. One extreme is the original Black Dragon Guild, which brought almost all players in Japan into one guild. Another extreme manifestation is our Frost Rose Alliance. Although it currently ranks first in the world in terms of combat effectiveness, the number of guild members is not even in the top fifty in the world's guild rankings.
In fact, the Japanese still lack investigation. If they were informed of the situation in Russia, they would definitely support Masamoto Matsumoto in forming this guild, because the Snow Demon House of the Frozen Banshee is an extremely streamlined professional R&D and command center. type guild. Their guild does not have a dedicated business department, not even a guild guard. However, this Snow Demon House actually became the guild boss in Russia by relying on its own technology output. Moreover, they even relied on their own command ability to lead Russian players into the hinterland of China. You must know that this is something Japanese players have always wanted to do but have never been able to do. If they knew that the Snow Demon House relied solely on research Having achieved this, it is estimated that 80% of Japanese guilds will transform into single-type professional guilds overnight.
"Matsumoto-kun. We think your method is indeed feasible, but... what should we do with the source of personnel for this guild? No matter how independent they are, these people must have had guilds in the first place, so they are not giving the same instructions as the peacekeeping force. Doesn’t make sense?”
