Chapter 281 The Ghost-Handed Nobunaga Who Has Lost His Value

"Masamoto Matsumoto congratulates you for coming to my humble residence. What are you doing?"

Before Masamoto Matsumoto entered Nobunaga's headquarters, he heard Nobunaga's sinister words coming out. Masamoto Matsumoto didn't care about Nobunaga's attitude at all, but said directly: "Since you know that I will not come to you easily, why don't you ask me what I am here for?"

"What else can you do? Humiliate me, laugh at me, and so on!"

"Ghost-hand Nobunaga, how long has it been since you still cared about that? It seems that our previous evaluation of you was still too high. Just read the chapter of the novel." Yingyu Shenhin couldn't help but interjected.

Ghost-hand Nobunaga scolded in a slightly angry voice: "My lord, why are you, a yellow-haired girl, interrupting?"

"Ghost-hand Nobunaga, I'm going to kill you!" Sakura Rain said as she was about to rush forward, but was blocked by August Kaoru and Matsumoto Masa.

Ghost-hand Nobunaga walked out of the room opposite, then looked at the four people present, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Just kidding, are you so excited? If you have anything to say, hurry up. It's not that you are in a hurry. ?"

"Hmph!" August Xun snorted coldly and said: "Okay, I won't bother you with these things because of the urgency of today's matter. Ghost Hand Nobunaga, let me ask you, do you know where the Yamata no Orochi went? ?”

"The Orochi?" Ghost-hand Nobunaga was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said: "The Orochi is our patron saint, and he is not my subordinate. How can I control him wherever he wants to go?" ? If you have anything to do with the Orochi God, you can tell me directly, and I will tell you about it when the Orochi God comes back."

"Ghost-hand Nobunaga, we are not looking for your snake god, we know where he is." Matsumoto Masaru said.

Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, but he said calmly: "I know you still ask me, why are you making fun of me when you have nothing to do?"

Masamoto Matsumoto didn't care and said directly: "Our espionage personnel within the Frost Rose Alliance sent news that the Frost Rose Alliance just discovered that Yamato no Orochi is lurking outside their Fulcrum City, and there are also a large number of demons hiding nearby. This Do you know what happened?"

Ghost Hand Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how many thoughts were going through his mind. But he pretended not to care and said: "The big snake god can do whatever he wants. Why do you come here to tell me this?"

Masamoto Matsumoto, who had never been angered by Ghost Hand Nobunaga's cynicism before, suddenly roared: "Ghost Hand Nobunaga!" This voice was very loud, and many elite players of the Ghost Hand League had gathered around him. I was always frightened by this roar.

Ghost Hands Nobunaga and Matsumoto Masahiro and their group were originally on the wrong side, and the two sides could be said to be enemies. Although Masamoto Matsumoto had previously deliberately sold Nobunaga a few favors in order to increase his credibility, this fundamental conflict of interest could not be improved by a few favors. It is precisely because of these conflicts that Nobunaga Ghost Hands and Masamoto Matsumoto can be said to be mortal enemies. Sometimes the relationship between the two is even more intense than the apparent conflict between us and Japanese players. in this case. Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly took August Kaoru and the three of them to the headquarters of the Ghost Hand League. How could the players of the Ghost Hand League let them be alone with Ghost Hand Nobunaga? So when Ghost Hand Nobunaga and Matsumoto Masa congratulated them, the surrounding area had already been filled with elite players of the Ghost Hand League, so that if there was a conflict, they could rush to help immediately.

In fact, it was precisely because Matsumoto Masako saw the existence of these players that he changed his previous indifference and suddenly became furious. His roar not only frightened Ghost Hand Nobunaga, but also made the people around him tremble.

Ghost Hand Nobunaga was frightened and then regained his breath and roared at Matsumoto Masagi: "Matsumoto Masahi. Are you the only one with a loud voice? Why do you want to scare people to death by shouting suddenly?"

Masamoto Matsumoto glanced at Nobunaga Ghost Hands coldly, and then said aloud: "Nobunaga Ghost Hands, you are a pile of mud that cannot hold up the wall. Do you know where Japan is now? Internal and external troubles, We are surrounded by powerful enemies. Can’t you see these things? The threat to us from the Frost Rose Alliance is very close at hand. The Russian black hands are also wandering behind the scenes. Even the Americans appear in our sphere of influence from time to time. You Now you are still fighting against us for that little thought. Do you know what you are doing? You are ruining the future of Japan! That guy Yamata no Orochi is not the same as us at all. You are still following him wholeheartedly It mixes. We have analyzed the pros and cons with you before. Have you turned a deaf ear to them all or are you already ready to be a dog? You are a player. A big living person. What is Yamata no Orochi? He is just an NPC, is A bunch of data in the game. You’re such a living person that you’re following an NPC like a dog, why don’t you die?”

Ghost-hand Nobunaga was completely dumbfounded by what Matsumoto Masa said, but before he could react, he heard Matsumoto Masa continue: "Ghost-hand Nobunaga, I'll stop talking to you about today's matter. . We originally expected you to be the leader of a party who could focus on the overall situation, but now it seems that we misjudged you. You are just a bad boy and have no qualifications to be a leader at all. Let me tell you, Yamata no Orochi is at the fulcrum now Outside the city, we are preparing to ambush the Chinese in Fulcrum City. The video in which Yamata no Orochi satirized us Japanese players was made by the Russians. They just hope that we will go to full-scale war with the Chinese and then take the opportunity to invade China. We in Japan have fallen Now that the situation is like this, if we are used as a gunman again, it will really be over. What we need now is to accumulate strength. Attacking the Chinese now is tantamount to asking for death. You ghost Nobunaga doesn't care about the future of Japan, I, Matsumoto Masaru He doesn't care, I'll handle this matter myself, you don't have to worry about it." After saying this, Matsumoto Masagi immediately turned around and walked out, shouting at the same time: "August Xun, let's go."

August Xun glared at Nobunaga Ghost Hand coldly, then turned around and followed him. Sakura Rain God and Blazing Dragon Princess behind saw that August Xun and Matsumoto Masa were gone and they also turned around. However, Blazing Dragon Princess thought about it and turned back to Ghost Hand Nobunaga and said fiercely: "Ghost." Nobunaga, send it to me and remember, what happened today is the last time you make fun of Japan's future. Next time... you will be our enemy, just like the Frost Rose Alliance... no, worse than the Frost Rose Alliance. Enemy. The Frost Rose Alliance is a vicious dog, and you are a malignant tumor. Compared with the vicious dogs, the malignant tumor is more deadly. Think carefully about it yourself."

After finishing her words, the Blazing Dragon Princess quickly turned around and chased Matsumoto Masaru in front of her, but she heard a clang as soon as she reached the gate. One player actually blocked the Blazing Dragon Lady with a spear in his hand and said angrily: "You scolded our boss and you are going to leave? Do you really think that our Ghost Hand League is a vegetable market?" ……ah……!"

The idiot blocking the way didn't even finish his words when he was split in half vertically from the middle by Blazing Dragon Lady's sword. Holding the giant sword that was still dripping blood, he coldly swept around the surrounding Ghost Hand Alliance players. These people were immediately frightened and took a step back, but when they remembered and took a step back forcefully, the Blazing Dragon Princess had already put away her sword and followed Matsumoto Masahiro and them away.

"Is this really okay?" August Xun asked in a low voice, following Masamoto Matsumoto.

Masamoto Matsumoto shook his head and said: "My original plan... is wrong. It should be that the plan the president told me is not like this. But now I didn't expect that guy Nobunaga Ghost Hands could be so stupid. According to the plan Plans made by ordinary people’s intelligence levels actually don’t work on him!”

This is what our plan was. First, Masamoto Matsumoto went to inform Nobunaga of Ghost Hands and told him that Yamata no Orochi was preparing to attack Fulcrum City. Because when they separated before, Masamoto Matsumoto and the others had just analyzed with Nobunaga Nobunaga that Yamata no Orochi and their Japanese players were not the same people. Therefore, according to normal understanding, Ghost Hand Nobunaga should immediately understand that Yamata no Orochi's attack on Fulcrum City will only be harmful to them but not beneficial. Moreover, the smarter people are on this matter, the more they should fully support them to stop Yamata no Orochi. However, in the end, the situation actually developed in a completely different direction. Nobunaga, Ghost Hands, did not support Matsumoto Masaru's plan just for the sake of his passion. Instead, he forced them out with cynicism. This is simply an unexpected result.

"Then what should we do now?" Sakura Rain asked.

Masamoto Matsumoto thought for a while and said: "It's better to inform the president and others about this matter as soon as possible. Let them decide what to do specifically!"

"Okay, I'll let you know right away." August Xun said and started talking while walking.

"What? Ghost-handed Nobunaga didn't go with you to stop Yamata no Orochi?" I was really stunned when I suddenly received such a report. It's like there is a big hole in the middle of the path, and there is a sign at the entrance. Normal people would definitely avoid it when walking past, but the ghost-handed Nobunaga stepped in. How do you think this kind of accident can be predicted? We have analyzed the pros and cons of Yamata no Orochi's attack on Fulcrum City with Ghost Hand Nobunaga. This is equivalent to telling him that there is a pit in the road, but he still jumped into it. What do you want us to do if we encounter such a person?

"Boss. Although we are also surprised by this matter, it has already happened. How should we solve it?"

"Solved it... You go back and wait. I'll ask the staff for their opinions as soon as possible."

I couldn't figure out what to do about this kind of thing for a while, so I had to go to the staff group again. When Sumei and I told them the result, all the bright minds in our guild were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Compared with Matsumoto Masahiro and his group, the group of wise men with superior intelligence are even more unable to understand Nobunaga's behavior, because they are all smart people and cannot understand the logic of Nobunaga, an idiot.

After being stunned for a while, Sumei finally reacted and said: "In this case, our plan must be changed. At present, it seems that Ghost Hand Nobunaga can no longer stay."

Su Mei’s words are actually not surprising at all. That's right, the fact that Ghost-handed Nobunaga has been able to survive in Japan until now is not entirely due to his own fault. Of course, when Matsumoto Masaka first stepped down, he did come up by his own ability and luck, but with our support of Matsumoto Masaka, after Matsumoto Masaka regained the recognition of Japanese players, in fact, the ghost-handed Nobunaga has already There is no basis for existence anymore. If we really wanted to get rid of Nobunaga, he would have been finished long ago.

However, not only was Ghost Hand Nobunaga not finished, but he was still able to barely maintain the operation of a guild, which is a bit strange. However, it would not be surprising if we knew that we were secretly coordinating this matter. The biggest enemy of Nobunaga is not our Frost Rose Alliance but Masamoto Matsumoto. And because of our instructions, Masamoto Matsumoto and the others have actually been using a tolerance policy towards Nobunaga. When your biggest enemy is not really When they eliminate you, it's actually not difficult to survive. After all, they didn't intend to kill you in the first place.

The reason why we let Masamoto Matsumoto retain the existence of Nobunaga Nobunaga is actually not to cause trouble for himself, but the result of comprehensive considerations from many aspects.

There is a Chinese proverb: "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." The literal meaning is that once the water is too clear. There are no fish in it, and its metaphorical meaning is that something that is too pure is actually not conducive to development.

It goes without saying what Japanese players think of our Frost Rose Alliance, and the value of Matsumoto Masagi's existence lies in guiding the behavior of Japanese players to prevent them from going against our Frost Rose Alliance, at least not always against us. However, Japanese players hate us after all, even though Matsumoto Masamoto is not violently blocking, but guiding the actions of Japanese players in a direction that is beneficial to our guild. But this is, after all, interfering with the emotional venting of Japanese players. Moreover, when Masamoto Matsumoto was training with us, he calmly thought about why he and Japan had problems in the first place with the mentality of a bystander.

The result of Masamoto Matsumoto's thinking is that Japan is too unified on the surface. That's right, it's just too unified.

On the surface, a unified country can more effectively exert its own strength, but what many people don't know is that human beings are a fighting race. If there is no external pressure on humans, they will find themselves an enemy to fight. If there is no external enemy, they will find an internal one.

Although the previous conflicts between Japanese players and our guild seemed to be frivolous, they were actually not very intense. After all, the guild did not open national wars at that time. Everyone's battles were small-scale frictions in advance, and no large-scale battles took place. Under such circumstances, Japan has established the Black Dragon Club, a super guild that covers more than 80% of the players in Japan. The result of this monopoly is a bloated organization and low efficiency. And there is constant internal intrigue. This inherent problem in the organization has caused the Black Dragon Society's combat effectiveness to be far less powerful than it seems, and inexplicable small problems continue to occur in each group. In the end, it turned into a complete outbreak of the war situation.

Precisely because Masamoto Matsumoto made a mistake and fell into this trap, he realized that he could not jump into this trap. Now is Masamoto Matsumoto's second chance, so he took the initiative to avoid the trap where he once failed, and suggested that we retain Nobunaga's ghost hand. Because there is such a person who is not an enemy, but a competitor, the players of the New Black Dragon Club compare themselves to the players of the Ghost Hand League. With this kind of treatment and overall superiority in other aspects, the players of the New Black Dragon Club will have A kind of self-awareness of satisfaction, which can effectively restrict and reduce the occurrence of internal conflicts.

There are so many immigrants in the United States, but the ethnic conflicts are not as violent as imagined. Although black people often have conflicts with white people, there are generally no particularly serious consequences. This is not to say that the U.S.’s ethnic policies are advanced, nor that Americans are of good quality, but because the U.S. is the most powerful country in the world, and its citizens have the satisfaction of being the strongest country, so internal conflicts are downplayed. . If some kind of natural disaster suddenly breaks out in the United States, followed by a food crisis and a complete economic collapse, and this situation lasts for more than a year, then a large number of ethnic conflicts will inevitably occur in the United States in a very short period of time. This is the result of the intensification of internal conflicts after losing the satisfaction of a great power.

The previous Black Dragon Club was the only large-scale guild in Japan, which resulted in members having no reference goals. Other guilds were too small to form a psychological advantage, just like humans cannot feel proud because they live better than ants. You need An equal, or at least an opponent of the same magnitude, can be used for comparison. Only then can one gain a sense of satisfaction or loss from the comparison results. If it is not of the same magnitude, it has no reference value.

The new Black Dragon needed a reference target, so Nobunaga's Ghost Hand Alliance was retained. As long as this Ghost Hand Alliance exists, the members of the New Black Dragon Society will always feel that they are doing the right thing and that being in such a group is worth cherishing, so they will try their best to avoid internal conflicts and work for the sake of the entire industry. strive for the development of society.

However, although Matsumoto was congratulating them for deliberately retaining Ghost Hand Nobunaga's Ghost Hand Alliance for the above reasons, it seems that Ghost Hand Nobunaga can no longer stay. The purpose of keeping the Ghost Hand Alliance is to allow the new Black Dragon Society to develop better and more stably, but now Ghost Hand Nobunaga's behavior is obviously a little out of control. Continuous decision-making errors seem to have caused problems with Nobunaga's judgment. Now Nobunaga's psychological instability has tended to turn into neurological problems, and the behavior of neurological patients is often unpredictable. , which is not a good thing for us.

Replacing Ghost-Hand Nobunaga is actually not a big problem for us now. The current Ghost-Hand Nobunaga has basically turned away from his relatives. It’s not that there are no people following him, but the number is very small, and these people are also Most of them are troublesome people with some problems. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and anyone who can still follow Ghost Hand Nobunaga under the current circumstances will naturally not be a good person. When leaving Nobunaga with ghost hands, in addition to Matsumoto Masaru's suggestion, we also wanted to use Nobunaga with ghost hands as a garbage magnet.

If there is only one New Black Dragon Club in Japan, then all kinds of players will inevitably flock to the New Black Dragon Club, and this is not what we want to see. It can be seen from the way our Frost Rose Alliance collected people when it was first founded. We place great emphasis on the purity of the organization. The New Black Dragon Guild is said to be a Japanese guild, but after all, Matsumoto Masaga is ours, so in essence, the New Black Dragon Guild should actually be regarded as a subordinate guild of our Frost Rose Alliance. Of course, Japanese players actually don’t know this. a little. However, even if the Japanese players don't know it, this is our guild after all, so we follow our habits in recruiting personnel, which is to emphasize the purity of the organization and not want to involve all kinds of messy people. .

However, although we have this idea, in fact it is not as easy to implement it as imagined. Because of the existence of the Ghost Hand Alliance, the rise of the New Black Dragon Society requires a large amount of popularity, and this determines that the New Black Dragon Society is not suitable for picking and choosing personnel. It is precisely for this reason that the current New Black Dragon Society has adopted the same strategy as our country's joint defense system, that is, the New Black Dragon Society only recruits a limited number of personnel, and then lets most of the people who turn to its own side create peripheral guilds, and then conduct managed in an alliance manner.

This relatively loose management style has several benefits. First, the organizational purity of the New Black Dragon Guild itself has been preserved, and Matsumoto Masako has the right to speak out in the guild. Second, the scope of recruitment has been expanded. Because it is a guild alliance, the guilds in it can have their own biases. In this way, some people who would not be wanted in independent guilds can also be arranged to be managed in certain special guilds. Third, this relatively loose alliance is actually the most suitable management method for players. Because it is impossible for players to clock in and get off work every day like going to work, the guild's binding force and management ability on players are weaker than the real company system. This determines that a relatively loose guild alliance is more accessible to players. accept.

Of course, the above alliance method has advantages, but there are also disadvantages. The disadvantage of this is that because the guild alliance is not directly led, Masamoto Matsumoto cannot arbitrarily interfere with the composition of the other party's personnel. Although Matsumoto can use various methods to allow these alliance members to make certain aggressive choices in the personnel they recruit, this is only a tendency after all, not a standard, so it is inevitable that these guilds will receive some strange things. Strange personnel, and at this time the role of the Ghost Hand Alliance is revealed.

Matsumoto Masamoto said that the people he didn't need were exactly what Nobunaga needed, because the purposes and concepts of the two guilds were different. Although the talents they needed had the characteristics of cross-coverage, the people they didn't need happened to be what the other party needed. . Based on this, the existence of the Ghost Hand Alliance is actually very beneficial. But now...it seems that it is necessary to clean up this Ghost Hand Alliance. Of course, before that, we need to confirm whether the ghost-handed Nobunaga is really hopeless. Even if we can cultivate a new force in Japan to replace the current Ghost Hand Nobunaga, the process will be long, and it is easy to create a vacuum period in the middle, so it is not necessary. We will not give up the Ghost Hand Nobunaga easily. long. (To be continued...)
