Chapter 104: A Plan to Kill Two Birds with One Stone
"Your proposal allows players from China and Japan to have limited cooperation in the open. In this case, it will be easier to control than our secret guidance. But..."
"But what?" Song Zhenghe looked at me nervously and asked.
"But to achieve this, your work may be very troublesome. The Chinese players are like the victor, so there is definitely some resistance, but as long as the interests are big enough, it is not impossible for everyone to cooperate. But This side of Japan..."
"No, we have no problem here." August Xun said before Song Zheng could congratulate him.
Christina and I both looked at August Xun in surprise, and August Xun immediately explained: "Although I became a member of the Frost Rose Alliance very early, I am a Japanese after all. I was born in I have been living in the sun for a long time, so I know the Japanese better than you." At this point, August Xun paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although Japanese culture is seriously influenced by Chinese culture and Western culture, We did not fully accept foreign culture, but transformed the foreign culture into our own culture. Japanese players have their own set of strategies for dealing with people. First of all, we Japanese never hold grudges. If we are beaten, then It means that we are inferior to others. Instead of being bullied because we hold grudges against the other party, we should simply accept the other party's ideas and culture, then learn from them, and catch up with them. When we become stronger and have the strength to challenge the other party, we can then go all out. Come back, this is our Japanese point of view. Of course, I am talking about national characteristics. Not personal characteristics. After all, every country has impulsive people and calm people. It is just a matter of the proportion.
Second, we Japanese respect the strong. Although President Ziri, you have a very bad reputation in Japan and are considered a big devil, but in fact many people hate you and admire you very much. This kind of thinking determines that if it is possible to reconcile with you, the resistance of Japanese players will not be as great as imagined. "
"What you said seems to make sense." Although Christina and I are not Japanese, we still know some of Japan's national characteristics. This country is very good at learning other people's advanced theories or technologies. And they are indeed particularly friendly to the country that defeated them every time they were beaten. No resistance at all. This is also the reason why many Chinese people like to say that the Japanese are servile, because every time they are beaten by others, they will always follow each other and serve as pawns. This is how Japan served the United States after World War II, and China Every time there is any conflict or friction with the United States. It's all Japanese who are helping the Americans to make trouble for China. so. This national characteristic of the Japanese is very obvious. As for respecting the strong. This and the first item are actually two aspects of the same expression. Precisely because they don't hold grudges, they respect those who defeated them, and vice versa. Because you respect those who are stronger than yourself, you will not hold grudges against them. This is completely the same thing.
According to August Xunde's description, if we want to promote cooperation between the two countries, then the ones who need to be persuaded most are not Japanese players, but Chinese players, because Japanese players don't hate us at all. The biggest reason why they are enemies with us is that we have always had conflicts of interest with them, and the national war system has been deliberately guiding the melee between countries. Therefore, the conflict between the players of the two countries is not caused by pure hatred, at least for them. This is not the case for Japanese players.
"If you don't need persuasion, then the problem on our side should not be big. The domestic combat power is basically concentrated in the hands of a few major guilds, and most of the leaders of these guilds are based on our The Frost Rose Alliance is following the lead, and they are all sensible people. They can see the general interests and trends better than anyone else, and will not blindly give up the interests they have gained because of so-called national hatred. But I don’t know about this kind of thing. We dare not guarantee it, we must talk to those people on the spot, and the specific situation must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.”
"As for Japan, I can also summon some guild leaders to analyze the powerful relationship. Although some people may be resistant, I think most people will follow me in the end."
Ying Yu Shen Hina added: "Actually, it's not entirely a bad thing if we have people here who don't follow us. If we always fight with the wind, those people following us will be like a group of friends who are eating, drinking and having fun. It looks like a big group, It may be completely useless at the critical moment. We can just use this opportunity to do some internal integration, eliminate some guys who follow us to eat and drink, increase the cohesion of the organization, and finally form a tight alliance with the core of the New Black Dragon Club. , rather than the current situation.”
After Ying Yu Shen Hina said this, we all agreed. The situation in Japan seems to be developing well now, but it is actually quite bad.
After the fall of Matsumasa, Nobunaga came to power, and our Frost Rose Alliance saw that the Japanese players led by Nobunaga began to distrust Nobunaga after repeated heavy losses, and asked us to re-support Matsumasa. He took over and achieved some success. However, at that time, Nobunaga was only distrusted by Japanese players and was not completely abandoned by Japanese players. Therefore, we did not dare to go too far when supporting Matsumasa, at least we could not directly become a player like before. Super guild. After all, when there are multiple choices, no one will willingly obey your management.
Due to the situation in Japan at that time, we could only allow Matsu Masahe to start expanding his power in the form of a guild alliance. In other words, those who joined Matsu Masahe were complete guilds, and they were just because Matsu Masahe The current leadership has played a positive role and has always chosen to follow Matsumasa. In terms of organizational form, they have no affiliation with Matsumasa Hegen. It should be said that it is more of a cooperative relationship.
As our Japanese strategy gradually unfolded, the forces controlled by the Frost Rose Alliance gradually withdrew from the Japanese region. Matsumasa has accumulated a lot of popularity in Japan through this "Recovery Action", and the New Black Dragon Club he established has indeed received the support of a group of truly fanatical Japanese players. Some of these people have joined the New Black Dragon Guild, and some have become affiliated guilds of the New Black Dragon Guild. In any case, they are completely following Matsumasa He. However, these people are only a minority after all. Most Japanese players are actually still in a state of being controlled by many scattered guild leaders.
Strictly speaking, the composition of the group headed by Matsumasa at this time is closer to the government composition of the United States, which is a state similar to federalism. These guilds that follow Matsu Masahe are equivalent to states one by one, and their alliance is a federal state. Matsu Masahe here is more like the speaker and president of the parliament. And the presidents of the guilds who followed him were, to put it bluntly, state representatives in the parliament.
in this case. Because we and Matsu Masagi have been singing a double act, the record of the forces led by Matsu Masa He has always been much better than that of those led by Ghost Hand Nobunaga. After all, the records of Ghost Hand Nobunaga are all real. It's really a fight, and they are no match for our Frost Rose Alliance. It's strange that the results can be good. on the contrary. Matsumasa congratulates them that their achievements are actually false. The record conversion between them and us is just a form of left-hand to right-hand. On the surface, the Japanese players got some things from our Frost Rose Alliance, but as soon as these things changed hands, they went to Matsumasa's command. So in fact, it is still in our hands, it is just that the interests have been transferred from the hand of the Frost Rose Alliance to the hand of the New Black Dragon Association.
The result of our show-like battle is of course much more beautiful than the actual result of Nobunaga's side. Therefore, Song Zhenghe's status in their "big council" has been rising during this period.
However, no matter how his status rises, the Speaker will always be the Speaker. Unless there is a coup, Matsumasa He will never become a great dictator. His order is in the interests of the Japanese players who are following them, so these people will follow him. However, even if we, the Frost Rose Alliance, cooperate with Matsumasa to sing the double act, this kind of left-handed thing can't be done forever. . Therefore, if we cannot allow Matsumasa to change his status in Japan and truly unite a group of people to become his real subordinates, then as long as Matsumasa has any serious setbacks, his alliance will immediately fall apart.
Because of this, we realized that what Sakura Rain God Hina said was very reasonable.
Now let the Japanese players put aside their unhappiness and cooperate with us Chinese players to deal with the Russians. This kind of thing can be said to be a bit like swimming against the current from the beginning. Due to emotional conflicts and uncertainty of interests, it is foreseeable that once Matsumasa really makes such a request, many people in the guilds that follow him will definitely choose to leave Matsumasa. control. After all, they only came together for the benefit. Once they feel that they will lose instead of benefit, they will naturally give up their support for Song Zhenghe and look for their own interests. As for what Song Zhenghe will lose, they Don't care at all. To put it bluntly, "I don't care whether you die or not, as long as I don't lose anything."
Of course, such people cannot be all, so if Matsumasa really wants to announce this plan and discuss it, then there will definitely be some people left who insist on following Matsumasa. These people may not necessarily be really determined to follow Matsu Masaichi to the dark side. However, it may be out of a gambler's mentality, or it may be out of some kind of conscience in their personal qualities. Anyway, these people will believe it for the time being. Song Zheng congratulated him and followed him on his adventure. And once this adventure is successful and huge benefits are obtained, then these people will quickly turn into Song Zhenghe's true loyalists. As for those who were unwilling to cooperate before... After Song Zhenghe's success, most of these people will They would shamelessly surround them like flies, but at this time Matsu Masagi could make drastic adjustments to these guilds openly and openly. If you don't want the benefits, just get out. If you want to follow us for benefits, just accept the adaptation. This arrangement is very tough, but with the momentum of great victory, the opposition will be very weak, because these guilds are not the presidents who have the final say alone. Although the members under the guild are usually represented by the president, who says that the represented people will not make their own voices heard? In that situation of general trend. If anyone dares to confront Song Zhenghe, their members will probably be the first to jump out and make trouble with them.
Therefore, Ying Yu Shen Hina's idea is actually very useful, and having thought of this in advance, we can make some targeted arrangements.
It just so happens that there is a communication hub where we are now. Although this thing is not online normally, it is not impossible to activate it temporarily. We directly used this hub as a communicator to connect to the God of War on Essinger's side, and then asked the God of War to summon Rose, Hongyue, and all the senior leaders and think tanks in the guild.
Although the people there were quite scattered, fortunately everyone was within the coverage area of the communication, so we started the audio conference directly. Most people can communicate directly via video. The few who couldn't go back to the city just listened to the sound.
After everyone gathered together, I told everyone about Matsu Masagi's discussion and the thoughts about Ying Yu Shen Hina. As soon as these words came out, the channel immediately exploded.
"Let Chinese and Japanese players cooperate? This goal is a bit ambitious!" Hongyue obviously did not believe that this plan could succeed.
Of course there are many people who have the same attitude as Hongyue, but what our guild has always emphasized is high quality. So no one was sarcastic or anything like that. It's all about the matter. Some people expressed their opinions and various doubts even if they did not believe it.
In fact, it would be abnormal if everyone unanimously approved this kind of thing as soon as I said it. Having objections at least shows that the leadership of our guild is really working hard and thinking about the future of the guild. Not a bunch of sycophantic yes-men.
Although most people are not optimistic about this plan, or simply oppose this kind of business, not everyone is opposed to it, and what makes me most happy is that the people with the highest status in the guild did not say anything.
After the first-level leaders below had all expressed their opinions, our most senior leaders began to truly express their opinions, and other leaders below consciously began to listen carefully to their speeches.
"It's not that this kind of thing can't be done, it's just that it's too difficult. I think it's very unlikely to be realized." Ying said, "Hongyue also said before that this goal is a bit ambitious. If it's a long-term plan, I don't object. Use a few After months of planning slowly, I think we can do it. But suddenly we have to act together. At this time, let alone saying that everyone is following us, even just mobilizing before the war is a bit too hasty. "
"I think this matter is possible because of the haste." The person who spoke was Su Mei, the representative of the guild's think tank. Although Su Mei was not a big person, her words were still quite impressive in the guild. Hefty. Seeing that everyone's attention was focused, Su Mei followed up and said: "Actually, it's useless to talk about things that are too complicated. Let's keep it simple. It goes without saying that Brother Ziri's position in everyone's minds is well understood. , and our members have a very high level of trust in Brother Ziri. It can be said that if Brother Ziri asked everyone to commit collective suicide, everyone would commit suicide immediately, and then come back to life to ask what happened. This is Brother Ziri The advantages brought by its strong appeal.”
Sumei was suddenly interrupted by the gold coins when she said this. "I understand. Because everyone will blindly trust the president, no matter how unreliable our orders are, our members will choose to follow the orders first and ask the reasons later. After all, the orders issued by the president before I have never made mistakes, so everyone will trust the president’s decision immediately, and even if they have doubts, they will suppress them for the time being.”
Su Mei nodded and followed: "So, this kind of quick action is the most successful. As long as the Chinese and Japanese players suddenly take action this time, raid the Russian research institute, and then get the information out, this is equivalent to saying that the benefits are obtained Once these benefits are obtained, it will be much easier to explain to members. After all, the real benefits have been put into their own homes, which is more powerful than any explanation."
"I still think there is a problem." Shura Ziyi said: "I admit that what you said about the players in the guild makes sense, and I believe that as long as the things are obtained, the members will not need to explain at all, they will see the benefits. You will naturally understand the original reason later. However, your plan is for Chinese and Japanese players to join forces. It is not that the Frost Rose Alliance and the New Black Dragon Guild join forces, so there is no problem in mobilizing our own people. Will other guilds follow us? ? In addition, even if we really mobilized those guilds, Matsumasa on the Japanese side also successfully mobilized Japanese players to cooperate with us in fighting. In this case, I don’t think it will be a big problem to grab those technologies, but after the technology is obtained, How to divide it? If we master everything, it means that the Japanese side is completely doing nothing. In this way, Matsumasa's integration plan will be out of the question. On the contrary, Matsumasa will be completely ruined. It is not easy for us to do it. An important chess piece that has been cultivated, if only this technology is lost, does Matsumasa lose his job of picking watermelons and sesame seeds? But on the other hand, if a copy of the technology is given to Japan, what will happen if the technology spreads? ? These things have just been explained by the president. They include the quite dangerous compound magic circle superposition technology. It can be said that this is the basic science in magic. Any breakthrough in this technology will mean that the entire magic field Great strides forward. Such dangerous technology leakage. Won’t the harm caused outweigh the benefits we gain? I hope those who support this plan can explain how these two problems are solved.”
"I support this plan." Rose, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. "This plan is actually very feasible. We won't talk about our own guild. Su Mei has just analyzed it very thoroughly. As for the problem of lay guilds... this is actually not a problem at all."
"Please explain."
"It's very simple. There are many players in China, but the elite forces are actually very concentrated. And even if we want to seize technology, we can't let all the players in China join us, right? Those who really need to take action must still be the elite forces, and for As the core of the elite forces in China, after our Frost Rose Alliance directly dispatches, all we need is for the remaining Northern Alliance and several other major guilds to send their own main elites. As for the regular troops... the same goes for defending our homeland. It requires manpower, so they don't have to move at all.
Let’s talk about ways to mobilize these elites. These elite players must be taking orders from their own guild presidents, and we only need to talk about these guild presidents. The person who can become the president will definitely not be the kind of idiot, he must know how to weigh the interests. Therefore, I think these presidents are relatively easy to persuade. I don't think it's a big problem to ask them to mobilize manpower to fight with us. Of course, those members would probably not understand, but there is no need to let them know the details of this kind of thing. "
"As an action personnel, how can we fight without letting them know the details?" Shura Ziyi asked.
Rose explained: "As long as there is an order from their president and they are told that this time they are fighting with our Frost Rose Alliance, with the reputation of our Frost Rose Alliance, they will naturally follow us. When we get to Russia, They can be responsible for tasks such as peripheral containment, which means reducing their chances of encountering Japanese players. In this case, their ideas are actually meaningless, because they will not encounter Japanese players at all, or even Know that we are conducting joint operations with Japanese players."
Shura Ziyi nodded and said: "This problem has been explained clearly, but what about the problem of technology diffusion?"
"Let me explain this issue." I directly took over the topic and said: "This technology will not spread at all, and the reason is very simple. Technical data is not like equipment or materials. It is not a material substance. , so there is no need to distribute it. Even if we allocate technical data to Japan, will Japanese players ask Matsumasa to copy the data and send each one a copy? Is it obviously impossible? These research materials are all theoretical things, There is almost zero direct help to players. These things are only useful in the hands of those technical personnel. But who are the technical personnel in Japan? To put it simply, there are only two parts. One part is Nobunaga's people, and the other Some of them are Matsu Masagi's people.
To put it bluntly, Song Zhenghe's technical staff were set up by us for them, and Song Zhenghe can issue confidentiality orders openly, and these technical personnel will not be idiots to show off these important resources, so He said that if the things finally reach Matsumasa's technical department, there will actually be no problem. Because Song Zhenghe's people are actually our people. When you go to Matsu Zhenghe's place, it is the same as coming to our place. There is not much difference at all. "
"What if Ghost Hand Nobunaga also wants it?" Big Pot Rice suddenly asked.
"Then reject him directly." I said directly: "The current relationship between Ghost Hand Nobunaga and Matsu Masagi is not very harmonious. To be honest, sometimes I feel that the hatred between them is greater than the hatred between us. It needs to be bigger, so Matsu Masahe can openly reject Nobunaga Ghost Hands. After all, Matsu Masahe led people to snatch the things back. It is definitely impossible for Ghost Hands Nobunaga to follow Matsu Masahe to rob them from the beginning. After all, this time it is If they want to cooperate with us, it is impossible for Nobunaga to cooperate with us, so they will definitely not participate in this operation. Then, they have no contribution, but they have to share the benefits together. Nobunaga refuses him. It's a reasonable thing. No one would think there's anything wrong at all. I even think that Nobunaga Ghost Hands wouldn't ask for this technology at all. It's not that he doesn't want it, but he knows that if he wants it, he won't get slapped in the face. There are no consequences.”
"What if those presidents who followed Matsu Masagi want it?"
"I have said before that this operation is not only for us to make Sino-Japanese cooperation explicit. It is also Matsuda's selection and integration of the interest groups at the core of the New Black Dragon Society. After this operation. Even if They will not immediately merge into a super guild. At least they will maintain a close state of integration. Japanese players were previously managed by the Black Dragon Society during the first Matsumasa era. The Japanese Guild at that time None of them had their own research institutions, so the Black Dragon Association brought all researchers together to strengthen their research capabilities and avoid unnecessary consumption caused by repeated research. This arrangement seemed like a good idea at the time, but problems also emerged. After Nobunaga came to power, he failed to understand the importance of this scientific research system as soon as possible. Being a reckless man, he did not pay attention to these things at all, which resulted in the collapse of this institution. However, the previous habits have been formed Basically, the guilds in the Japanese region do not have their own research institutions. Even though these small guilds had some research institutes of their own due to the disintegration of the Black Dragon Society's research institutions, what can be researched in this state of independent fighting? It’s really a problem. So, generally speaking, most of the research institutions in Japan are not sound. The only ones that are really capable of doing research are the two research institutes controlled by Matsu Masagi and Onishe Nobunaga. . And as I said before, Nobunaga Ghost Hands cannot get the technical information, so the things can only be here with Matsumasa. In other words, it seems that we have copied the technical information to the Japanese side, but In fact, it’s to congratulate Matsumasa. Let’s support our own branch guild. Is there any problem with this?”
Everyone laughed when they heard my words, because I said that the New Black Dragon Club is a branch guild of our Frost Rose Alliance. Of course, this kind of thing is only discussed in high-level meetings of our guild. After all, the relationship between the New Black Dragon Society and Song Zhenghe and our Frost Rose Alliance is still highly confidential even within our Frost Rose Alliance. Apart from those who were directly involved in the matter, the only people in the guild who knew about it were probably the people in the meeting.
After I finished my explanation, Shura Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I agree with the previous proposal and we can try this operation."
Following Shura Ziyi's statement, others also changed their attitudes. After all, I had explained it clearly. The action plan is feasible, and when completed, the benefits are great and there will be no negative consequences. The most important thing is that our relations with Japan will ease a little. In this case, if necessary in the future, we can completely cooperate with this level again, and even if we no longer cooperate openly, with this precedent, let Matsumasa and the others secretly control Japanese players. It will be much easier to help us fight in the front line. Even if sometimes certain actions seem to be beneficial to our Frost Rose Alliance, the skepticism and resistance of Japanese players will be reduced a lot. This is the hidden benefit of this operation.
"Since there is no objection from the guild, can we start implementing this plan immediately?" Matsumasa and the others have been listening to our discussion. Although they did not speak, of course they are convinced by our decision. heard it. Now that we all agree, of course he is excited and wants to take action immediately.
Of course I can understand Matsumasa's excitement, but we really can't act so hastily on this kind of thing. "Su Mei, can you give us an action plan as soon as possible?"
"It's not a big problem. The military god has written a simple outline, and we can just improve it."
"God of War."
"It's ready." The God of War directly displayed the information on the communication hub screen in front of us. As a computer, the God of War can process data much faster than humans.
In fact, the information given by the God of War is not that huge. This operation involves the coordinated actions of two countries, and the Japanese side's actions cannot be directed as accurately as our guild. After all, they do not have communicator technology. Therefore, the Japanese plan is very simple. They are just some rough stage goals and the like. Specific action plans need to be decided by on-the-spot commanders at the time. As for our guild's plan, although it has a lot of content, there are actually not many steps, because our side is actually the main force pushing it all the way, which means that there are not many preset action plans in the battle. . After all, there are too many variables in battle that cannot be predicted in advance. The action plan can only set a rough framework. (To be continued...)
