Volume 19, Chapter 41 The Most Patriotic Traitor Agreement
"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 originally, so they are not giving the same instructions as the peacekeeping force. Doesn’t make sense?”
When someone objected, Matsumoto Masamoto immediately said: "No, you are just talking about the general situation. There is a way to completely prevent this phenomenon from happening."
"any solution?"
"Choose a ready-made guild as the basis of this all-combat guild, and this guild must be big enough."
"Use an existing guild?" The Japanese guild presidents immediately discovered that there was a serious conflict of interest in this proposal. Although there are some problems in installing cronies in the process of reorganizing a guild, there are too many things that need to be operated in the process of directly transforming an existing guild into a pure combat guild.
"President Matsumoto." A Japanese guild president stood up and said: "It's not that we doubt your motives, but this proposal is too exaggerated, isn't it? If there is interference in the reorganized guild, 'The question of cronies, then wouldn't a guild that is directly transformed be directly equivalent to becoming a thug of the original owner of the guild?"
"Isn't there anyone who thinks more deeply?" Masamoto Matsumoto ignored the man's statement completely, but raised his head and scanned the audience to see if there was anyone smart enough.
Sure enough, although there are many fools, there will never be a shortage of smart people in this world. As Masamoto Matsumoto looked around, someone finally stood up to support Masamoto Matsumoto and said, "Yes, Mr. Matsumoto is right. A completely transformed guild is safer than a reorganized guild. However, It must be a big enough guild like Matsumoto-kun said."
"Can you explain it?" Although some people responded, most people failed to understand the meaning in the end.
The player was about to explain when he suddenly saw Masamoto Matsumoto waving for him to sit down. Then Masamoto Matsumoto took over and explained: "On the surface, if an independent guild is converted into the National Defense Force, then all members of the National Defense Force will be It is this guild that has installed the people. However, please don’t forget. The National Defense Force is not an independent free guild. It has many restrictions that restrict it, so this transformed guild will He is completely unable to snatch the interests of domestic guilds according to his own intentions. He can only play a role in foreign wars." After saying this, Matsumoto Masako suddenly paused, and then said: "Actually, this problem is easy to understand, everyone. Just put yourself into the role. Imagine if your own guild became the National Defense Force, what benefits could you gain for yourself?"
When Masamoto Matsumoto said this, the presidents began to think. At first, everyone was thinking that since the previously proposed peacekeeping force theory could not prevent various guilds from deploying manpower, then the only guild transformed into the National Defense Force would be The method of placing people in multiple guilds is extreme. On the surface, it seems that the converted guild will benefit greatly. After all, they will be able to rely on the resources of the national guilds to develop in the future, which is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl to serve. However, when they started thinking according to Matsumoto Masa's intention, they suddenly found that they seemed to be unable to do anything. Although the content of the agreement for this guild was not set in detail before, the two restrictions mentioned by Masamoto Matsumoto that prohibited the guild from owning cities and conducting transactions have already determined that this guild has no future at all. As long as it is transformed into the National Defense Force, all development of this guild except war will be restricted. To put it bluntly, this National Defense Force is actually a ferocious evil dog. It is absolutely ferocious when it bites people, but if you want to attack its owner, don't expect it, because this evil dog is made up of something with a title contract. The cage is trapped. The cage will only be opened when the owner needs him to bite. At other times, the vicious dog has little freedom at all.
In the past, it was because of misunderstandings in thinking that everyone got distracted. Now based on what Masamoto Matsumoto said, after thinking about it, the presidents soon realized that this guild actually had no benefits at all. Apart from being more glamorous, it was completely useless in terms of economic benefits. With the greedy character of those presidents, it is too late to take such a position. Who would take it?
"President Matsumoto. We just thought about what you said. It seems that it would be more appropriate for this guild to be transformed into a single guild, but..."
"You can ask any questions and I'll explain them to you."
The president thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's not a problem. I just want to ask, which guild will transform this guild? To transform your own guild into such a guild, That is basically equivalent to dedicating your guild to players all over Japan. Is anyone willing to do such a thankless task? Or do you plan to let us all draw lots? The guild that wins will definitely be very reluctant. , the guild's combat effectiveness will not improve even if it is passive and sabotage!"
"I have also thought about this. In addition to this problem, there is another restriction that this guild must be a large guild. A guild that is too small cannot bear the tasks of the National Defense Force. If it continues to expand after transformation, It will become the same as the previous peacekeeping force plan, so I thought about it and decided to sacrifice my personal interests for the revival of my Japanese Empire."
As soon as they heard Masamoto Matsumoto saying that he had to sacrifice personal interests, there was a burst of exclamation immediately, because they had already guessed what Masamoto Matsumoto was going to say. "Do you want to transform the Ghost Dragon Society into the National Defense Force?"
Amidst the exclamations of everyone, Matsumoto Masako nodded affirmatively. "Yes. I do have this idea. The National Defense Force needs a certain scale, so it cannot use too small a guild. My Ghost Dragon Club just meets the requirements in terms of size, and the combat effectiveness of our guild is also the most outstanding in the country. By After the National Defense Force transformed by our Ghost Dragon Society is freed from all kinds of irrelevant trivial matters, its combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly improved. I believe it is not impossible to become a powerful fighting guild like the Frost Rose Alliance in the future."
After hearing Masamoto Matsumoto confirm this guess, there was a chorus of compliments and flattery below. After Masamoto Matsumoto's explanation, the presidents present have realized what the National Defense Force means to Japan, so they all hope to form such an army. However, although they hope to establish the National Defense Force, they do not want to shoulder this responsibility themselves. Of course, this was what Masamoto Matsumoto thought after he explained the situation. Before Masamoto Matsumoto explained the situation to them, these presidents all wanted to rush to become the National Defense Force. Usually other guilds provide money to support them. This kind of good thing makes people feel happy when they hear it. Only after careful weighing can they find that this guild has too many restrictions, so at first the presidents wanted to rush to become the national defense force. , but now they are avoiding each and every one of them.
After the guys finally calmed down, Masamoto Matsumoto said again: "For the sake of national interests, I am indeed willing to transform the Ghost Dragon Society into the National Defense Force, but I also don't want to be a tragic hero who sheds blood and tears. When I was designing Japan's revival strategy, and the last time we attacked Fulcrum City, in both plans, I can say without guilt that our Ghost Dragon Society was the one who contributed the most. But, what did we get?"
The people below were happy that Masamoto Matsumoto agreed to take over the National Defense Forces. Unexpectedly, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly turned around and opened up old accounts, which made them a little unable to react. However, before these guys had time to explain anything, Masamoto Matsumoto continued: "The previous recovery strategy, everyone originally agreed to wait for Japan to be destroyed and use system compensation to counterattack. But what did you do? ? Launched a counterattack in advance before destroying the country, and almost messed up the entire rejuvenation strategy. In the end, after being beaten to a pulp by the Chinese, he finally thought of me. Why don't you think of me except when you suffer losses? Why don't you see you when we share the benefits? Think of leaving a copy for me?"
Although the presidents of the Japanese guilds wanted to defend themselves, this matter was already a fait accompli, and too many people knew about this international news, so there was no way to defend it. Just when some smart people wanted to shift the responsibility to Nobunaga, who was not present, Matsumoto Masa suddenly spoke again.
"I know some of you want to say that it was Ghost Hand Nobunaga's idea. Okay, you can shirk the responsibility. Anyway, Ghost Hand Nobunaga is not here now, so whatever you say is what you say. But even if Ghost Hand Nobunaga He's the worst guy, but what about you? Are only Nobunaga's people participating in snatching the fruits of victory? I didn't know that Nobunaga's men included more than 80% of the guilds in the country? How many of you are there? The guild dares to 'touch' its own conscience and say, you didn't participate at that time?"
Judging from the color of conscience and thickness of face of these presidents, they can indeed say things that are completely contrary to the facts with righteousness and dignity. However, precisely because this is not a small-scale secret, but a sub-large event, too many people know about it. At this time, if you shamelessly say that you have not participated in the war, that is not giving yourself a gilt, that is putting a shit basin on your own head.
After waiting for a while and seeing no one speaking, Matsumoto Masamoto continued: "Okay, that incident does not count. After the destruction of the country, how much did I pay to take back Fulcrum City from the Chinese? Do you think there is a secret outside Fulcrum City?" Is it easy to dig out a base? Do you think the 3S space gate mission is easy to complete? How much do you think it will cost to install an informant inside the Frost Rose Alliance? And the secrets of the Frost Rose Alliance that I got Defense plans and the structural weaknesses of their Mobile Angels, do you all think these things are easy to obtain? No, you don’t know. You only know that many of you died, and then the credit of our Ghost Dragon Society will not exist. Hard work Fulcrum City, which we fought so hard for, doesn't share our share, can you be any more shameless?"
This was the first time Masamoto Matsumoto had said such direct words. The presidents below were all red-faced and eager to refute, but after thinking about it, they finally did not say it. Now this meeting was broadcast live simultaneously under the influence of magic, and all the Japanese players in the city could see and hear it. There is no way to quibble with this well-documented fact. Now the sophistry has no effect at all except to make the situation darker and darker.
The collective loss of voice of the Japanese presidents is the best affirmation of Matsumoto Masaru's words, because if you point at someone and scold them, the other person will not be able to find an excuse to refute. This means that the other party is not reasonable at all, otherwise why would he not refute? ?
After scolding Matsumoto Masagi, his tone obviously softened, as if he had vented his depressed mood. "I just expressed my dissatisfaction. If the language offends you, please forgive me. Compared with the harm you have caused me, I feel that my verbal attack is not a big deal."
After Matsumoto Masagi said this, the presidents became even more angry. Matsumoto Masamoto's words seemed to be an apology on the surface, but in fact they hurt them a few more times. But now they can't control that much, because Masamoto Matsumoto mentioned important content again.
"The reason why I say so much is to tell you that I have been deeply hurt by your actions, and I don't want to be taken advantage of anymore. Becoming the National Defense Force itself is a very disadvantageous thing. For the sake of the country, , I can suffer this loss, but I don’t want anyone to treat me like a beast just because I am patriotic. Therefore, in order to ensure my basic rights and interests, I hope that you can accept the following agreement.” Following Matsumoto Masaru’s words, the whole city The Japanese players suddenly heard the system's request to display the agreement application form at the same time. After choosing to accept, everyone saw an extremely long written agreement at the same time.
Masamoto Matsumoto knew that there was a lot of content in this agreement and it would take a long time to read, so after everyone came to a standstill, he stepped down from the 'presidential' stage and discussed the order of taking over the city with the people of the Ghost Dragon Society for a while. The people in the meeting can't expect to read the agreement within half an hour anyway.
The agreement that Masamoto Matsumoto showed to these presidents and the players in the city was a very detailed agreement, and its content was far more complete than a normal game agreement. As mentioned before, since the agreement execution system of "Zero" is based on the subjective judgment of artificial intelligence, the content of the agreement is not important. To put it simply, the agreement used in "Zero" is not a completely written agreement, but a notary-style agreement. This notary is the system itself, and after the two parties reach an agreement, the content of the agreement will be explained with the understanding of the system. If you want to play word games with the system, you don’t even have to think about it. It is just an attempt to deceive the system. This in itself constitutes a crime of contempt for the system. Of course, there is no law of contempt for the system in "Zero", but the system in "Zero" is more cautious. If you dare to make him unhappy, he will make you even more unhappy, such as asking you to always deal the minimum damage when fighting monsters, encountering a mistake probability when using skills, being thrown into a different dimension when using a teleportation array, and so on. In short, people who play word games with the system will die miserably. This has been proven countless times. As long as there is nothing wrong with the brain, no one will have trouble with the system.
Precisely because there is such a powerful fair judgment system in "Zero", the agreements used by players in "Zero" are basically very short. In reality, agreements are often written very long in order to close all the loopholes as much as possible, but the ruling in "Zero" is determined based on the system's cognition, so some insignificant loopholes do not need to be dealt with at all. For example, if there are ambiguous statements in an agreement, in reality, lawyers can often use word games to forcefully defend the agreement and distort the interpretation. But this is not possible in "Zero", because if the system also misunderstands the agreement when the initial agreement is signed, then the system will judge based on his misunderstanding in the final judgment. No matter how much you emphasize the implicit meaning of the sentence, as long as If the system did not read this meaning at first, it would be invalid content and not included in the scope of the agreement at all.
After getting used to this super simple agreement method in the game, when they suddenly saw such a long and detailed agreement given by Masamoto Matsumoto, the Japanese players were really dizzy for a moment.
The entire agreement is divided into two volumes. The first volume is about obligations, that is, the obligations and constraints that the National Defense Forces need to accept after the transformation of Matsumoto Masamoto's Ghost Dragon Society, while the second volume is about rights. Although this part is written to Masaka Matsumoto's Ghost Dragon Club, it is actually used to restrain those Japanese players. It details the rights that members of the Ghost Dragon Club can enjoy, and how Japanese players should behave. People from the Ghost Dragon Society serve.
Seeing the agreement between the two sides, the Japanese players naturally opened the duty book first. The first two items in this volume limit the obligations that Masa Matsumoto's Ghost Dragon Club should assume, but the content is rather strange. For example, this agreement restricts whether the Ghost Dragon Society can own cities, but the details below state that cities that have been occupied before the transformation are not included in this list. Also, the Ghost Dragon Guild cannot do business with other guilds, and can only obtain supplies by accepting donations. However, this emphasizes that the Ghost Dragon Guild can support war with war, which means that the stolen supplies They can use it directly, they just can't resell it.
To be honest, most players cannot understand such a detailed agreement. However, some of the players in the game are naturally people who often come into contact with agreements in reality. Although this agreement is very long, it is actually quite simple compared to those agreements in reality. At least the words here are very popular. There is no official language bias as serious as in the actual agreement.
Those who understood the agreement discovered a problem after reading the agreement in detail, that is, according to the content of the agreement, although the Ghost Dragon Society is restricted in many things, they are not completely unable to be self-sufficient, but the cost will change. It's just very high. It can be said that the things that Masamoto Matsumoto promised before are indeed restricted, but each restriction is not completely restricted. If this agreement is followed, Masamoto Matsumoto's Ghost Dragon Society will not lose its existing freedoms, but will be restricted in many aspects within a relatively narrow range.
However, although they realize that such a ghost dragon society still has some freedom, these people do not pay too much attention to these deliberately open small-scale permissions, because if Matsumoto Masaru really wants to use the National Defense Force to satisfy his own private interests, then this This agreement is enough to make him lose more than he gains. Because of this, these people still feel that the agreement can actually be signed. Of course, I feel it's not a loss in my heart, but I can't say that with my mouth. It's like if a product is sold very cheaply, but you will still try to make a "sexual" counter-offer, because no one will mind buying something cheaper.
The players who read the agreement at the scene, whether they understood it or not, finally basically understood it after more than half an hour after being explained by those who understood it. However, after reading the obligations part, the rights part still needs to be analyzed. As a result, it took more than half an hour this time, almost an hour and a half plus one before and after. It seemed that these people had completely understood the entire agreement.
Guessing that the time was almost up, Masamoto Matsumoto returned to the stage and asked: "Do you understand the content of the agreement? If there is no problem, you can agree now. If there is a problem, you can raise it and we will discuss it. manage."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, someone among the presidents immediately stood up and said, "I have a problem."
"Please say."
"The rights section says that your guild has complete autonomy in purchasing materials, and as long as the materials are used for foreign wars, we must reimburse them. Isn't this too much? If you buy everything you see that is good, what will happen to us? Can you bear it? Even if we gather all the players from all over the country, we can’t use it as an ATM for you?”
Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head and said: "I think you don't have to worry about this. For example, the Japanese players are the hard-working bees, and we, the Ghost Dragon Society, are some kind of creatures that can only survive on honey. That's right. , we can indeed ask for unlimited amounts of honey from the bee colony, but the production of honey itself is also the key to the growth of the bee colony. If we ask for honey moderately, then the bee colony can freely grow the bee colony, so that as the bee colony expands, the honey will increase, and we can get more honey. On the contrary, if we squeeze out the honey all at once, the bee colony will be unable to feed the young bees due to lack of honey, resulting in a decline in the number of bee colonies or even extinction, then we will still go up. Where can we get honey? Knowing the above, do you think we will do something like sucking up the honey completely?"
Masamoto Matsumoto's words are completely irrefutable, because according to his explanation, the interests of these guilds and the interests of the Ghost Dragon Association are actually synchronized. Draining these guilds may result in temporary growth, but the result is that the Ghost Dragon Guild will bear the ultimate consequences. On the contrary, those guilds are good, and the Ghost Dragon Guild is even better. In this situation where the interests are completely tied together, fools will know what to do.
The president here originally wanted to change the agreement to require the consent of these guilds so that the Ghost Dragon Society could spend money, but after hearing what Matsumoto Masaru said, he had no choice but to sit down. After all, the main tone of the agreement is to ensure that the Ghost Dragon Society enjoys full autonomy without being able to counterattack the domestic guilds, so as long as the requirements are not excessive, they cannot impose restrictions.
"Does anyone else have an opinion?"
"I have."
Next, the guild presidents shouted almost every item in the entire agreement one by one, and then Masamoto Matsumoto explained every item to them seriously, and the meeting started. For a whole day, by the time it was over, Masamoto Matsumoto's voice was almost speechless. However, although it is more difficult, the results are equally brilliant. The group of Japanese guild presidents argued with Matsumoto Masaga for a day, but in the end they did not change even one of the agreements, which was equivalent to fully accepting the agreement proposed by Matsumoto Masaga.
In fact, Masamoto Matsumoto has no doubt at all that this agreement can be completely passed. This agreement was something that the entire think tank of our Frost Rose Alliance studied for three days and three nights and had the God of War perform countless auxiliary deductions before finally finalizing it. The entire agreement is not only detailed and complete to the point of leakage, but it can also be approved by the agreement system. . We spent a lot of money on this. In order to confirm that the content of the agreement can be understood by the system in the direction we want in the agreement judgment system, we specially spent money to have our own people sign the agreement and violate it, in order to try the system's judgment criteria, and finally came up with this An agreement that makes full use of the agreement’s criteria. According to the content of this agreement, the presidents of the Japanese guilds have no way to restrain Matsumoto Masa in anything. Although it seems that Matsumoto Masa and the others are at a disadvantage according to the content of the agreement, that is because Matsumoto Masa is really a Japanese It is only valid under the premise of players. Because Masamoto Matsumoto is actually one of ours, many of his actions will not be as difficult as imagined. Because of this, those terms that may be harsh to other guilds are actually not as difficult for Masamoto Matsumoto. There is no binding force at all.
for example. There is a clause in the agreement regarding loot. According to the agreement, the Ghost Dragon Club can enjoy the spoils. This agreement exists as a supplementary clause that limits the channels through which the Ghost Dragon Association can obtain material supplies. According to this agreement, the Ghost Dragon Association can obtain trophies to use as material supplies. If Matsumoto Masaga's Ghost Dragon Society is really a purely Japanese guild, then they will not be able to get any supplies at all during foreign wars, because most guilds will choose to destroy the supplies when they find that something is wrong. Even if you can't get it, you won't leave it to the enemy. However, for the Ghost Dragon Guild, with this agreement, they can use the battle with our guild to obtain additional supplies. This is equivalent to opening a legal supply channel for the Ghost Dragon Club.
The reason why others don't want to be a member of the National Defense Force is because the National Defense Force can only fight and cannot enjoy the benefits gained from fighting, but what will the Ghost Dragon be? The Ghost Dragon Club is the fist our guild uses to hit people. Do we need to enjoy any benefits with a fist? Obviously not needed. However, now because of this status of the National Defense Force, the entire Japanese guilds and players have to provide nutrients for our fist and let him help us fight people. This is equivalent to letting the Japanese help us raise troops. As for the Japanese wanting to mobilize this fist to hit us? Don't even think about it. The agreement clearly states that the Ghost Dragon Society has complete autonomy in combat. Who to fight, when and where to fight, and how to fight are all decided by the Ghost Dragon Guild. Other Japanese guilds only have to pay for it.
In fact, for our Frost Rose Alliance, after the Ghost Dragon Society became the National Defense Force, in addition to giving us more troops at no cost, it also added an expansion limiter to the Japanese guilds. As long as we don't want them to expand, they will never be able to expand, and the reason lies in the selfishness of the Japanese guilds. The Ghost Dragon Society has people from all over the country reimbursing their expenses for foreign wars, but if other guilds want to launch a foreign war, they have to pay for it themselves. Under such circumstances, which guild do you think would be willing to fight a foreign war on its own? The Japanese themselves do not engage in foreign wars, but the only ghost dragon society that may engage in foreign wars is controlled by us. Now we can say without exaggeration - Japan is ours, although Japanese players don't know this.
