Chapter 53: Storytelling Staff Recruitment Chronicle (1)
After a hard battle, Abilee and Zhan Fu led their troops to finally defeat Yaba, a small resistance force. Yaba is Zhan Fu's abbreviated name for this resistance force, and the full name is the eighth resistance force in Atlantis. The remaining seven rebel forces were Ya 1, Ya 2, and Ya 3...... (It's so hard to come up with a name)
Although General Ebilee's forces were victorious over Yapachi, the losses of their army were not small, and the need to carry out reception and resettlement work, so it was decided to make corrections on the spot.
Abile asked Zhan Fu tactfully, "Your combat strategy is somewhat useful, but can the effect be improved?"
Zhan Fu was still able to listen to the useful advice, and explained: "You can see it too." You're right, we are not professional in strategy and tactics, but we only come into contact with some books and materials, and our knowledge is limited, and our application may not be appropriate. Therefore, it is also necessary to go to the Song State to introduce professional staff officers. ”
"Okay, then you can arrange for someone to handle this matter? It will take about three months for us to accept the resettlement work. You refer to the time node, get it done as soon as possible, and don't delay the next military operation. ”
"Okay. After that, Zhan Fu arranged for someone to go to the Song Dynasty to contact the staff about the introduction.
Two weeks later, the contact person called Zhan Fu to report: "Boss Zhan, the staff officer's affairs can't be resolved." ”
"What's wrong?"
"The staff officer is a strategic reserve personnel of the Song Dynasty, and we contact through official means, and people don't care about us at all. Through some means, private contact, those staff officers politely suggested that they had signed a non-disclosure agreement, and that they were under close surveillance, and it was not easy to communicate with us too much. ”
"What about the families whose ancestors have staff officers?"
"We have also come into contact with some families with famous ancestors, and many of them have lost their family learning, but they have just passed on some family learning materials. Some of them still study home studies, but only have a theoretical level, and have not carried out practice, and their level is limited. First, they are not very confident and are afraid of delaying our affairs, and second, after all, we are at war, and they are also worried about security. So they basically refused. ”
"Okay, I know the basic situation, you are on standby in the Song Kingdom first, and we will contact you after researching it. ”
After that, Zhan Fu summoned the main officers of the mercenaries and introduced the troubles encountered, so that everyone could brainstorm and come up with ideas.
"Why don't we talk to General Abili and ask her to contact the Song government in the name of the country and ask them to give them staff support. ”
"No, General Ebili has left this matter to us, if we can't do it, we will lose face. Now that things are not at the end of the road, let's solve them ourselves. But we can make an alternative to this idea. ”
"Why don't we go to another country and find some?"
"We don't know the way of fighting and the level of staff officers in other countries, and if it's the same as Atlantis, it's better not to look for it. ”
"Yes, and there is a high probability that the state will not release people. ”
"Why don't we go to the military school and find some talented students?"
"Okay, you can consider trying this. The master can't find it, so it's okay to find an apprentice to try it first. ”
"We can also find some teaching materials on the art of war, ponder the case by ourselves, and apply it. ”
"Yes, although the battlefield situation is different, the application may not be correct, but the general direction can be referred to. ”
"Yes, if we have the information, can we also slowly train a group of staff officers by ourselves. After all, you can't rely on all support, it's important to be self-sufficient. ”
At this time, there was a report from outside the door, and Zhan Fu motioned for everyone to be quiet and let people in.
It was General Ebilly's heralds. He handed Zhan Fu a piece of information, saying that the situation was very urgent, and Ai Jiangjun asked him to quickly send it to Zhan Fu to read and get an idea.
After hearing this, Zhan Fu opened the intelligence reading, and after reading it, his brows tightened, and after thinking for a while, he said to the herald: "I am clear about these situations, and I will come up with a solution as soon as possible." ”
Waiting for the herald to go out, Zhan Fu looked at everyone present, saw that they were all staring at him with curious eyes, and said, "The plan just now doesn't work, we have to make up our minds again." ”
"Why?" the crowd asked.
"We have just received an urgent military situation, because we have eliminated one of the rebels, and the other seven rebel forces are all in danger, and there are already talks to discuss the alliance. That's not good news for us. Therefore, time is pressing, and it is not suitable to study materials and train new people, and it is too late to contact the official government of the Song Dynasty. Those can only be carried out after the alternative. We must first come up with a practical contingency plan to solve the current crisis. Well, I've already said why. Now everyone has an idea to see what to do. ”
After hearing this, everyone also felt that the situation was urgent, and the pressure was as great as a dark cloud. After pondering in silence for a while, a small mercenary leader said, "Why don't we go and tie up a few staff officers and come back?"
As soon as everyone heard about the kidnapping, they suddenly came to their senses and responded in a gossipy manner: "This attention is good, and the speed is fast." ”
"yes, we'll leave that to our team. We're skilled and we promise we won't be discovered. ”
Zhan Lao Er heard this noisy remarks, his head was big, and he said: "Calm down, people who talk nonsense have a headache." First of all, the idea doesn't work. We are now a regular Atlantean army, no longer mercenaries, and we can no longer take money and do things like we used to. ”
After listening to Zhan Laoer's words, everyone suddenly felt a lot of pressure, as if they had helped a layer of shackles on their bodies, and they were restrained in doing things.
Who knew that Zhan Lao Er added another sentence: "At least you can't do it on the surface." ”
Only then did everyone laugh softly, feeling a lot more relaxed.
"But kidnapping a staff officer really doesn't work. The identity of the staff officer is very sensitive, and now Atlantis is in an eventful situation, and it can't make any more enemies for it. ”
"Why don't we kidnap students who study strategy and tactics? ”
"This is still based on lobbying for money and inducements, etc., it is indeed a talent, and if you have to do so, you can consider forcing him to come here to try, but let him say hello to his family without revealing the situation here, don't let the family worry, and also leave enough settling-in money. Don't let people have opinions and come up with some unreliable ideas, then we can't afford to lose. Zhan Lao Er reminded.
"Okay, understood. The man below replied.
One of the older and more serious people in the mercenary army said: "I think we just said that we should study some materials by ourselves, train new people in the army, and contact the official government of the Song Dynasty to ask them to send some staff support, etc., these plans can be carried out at the same time." After all, we don't know how long this war will last, and even if the temporary crisis is resolved, long-term thinking is necessary. ”
"Well, yes, you can't just think about the present, well, this matter will be left to you. What else can be done to deal with the current crisis?"
The crowd was silent. One of them complained, "If my subordinates can give me a few options, and the staff officer just chooses the one that works better, I can do the job." ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? It's all about the plan, it's a matter of whether the effect is good or bad, just choose any one, and you can still be used?"
"There is still a difference in this, just like the difference between an essay question and a multiple-choice question, the difficulty is still different. ”
Zhan Lao Er felt an inspiration flash in his head, and said, "Then who can come up with a plan?"
"After so many years of fighting wars from ancient times to the present, there are always cases that are similar. If anyone knows, then provide the strategy of the time, and it is a plan. ”
"This is back to the old way, we still have to rely on the staff officers, otherwise who will study those cases?"
"And the students. ”
"You are quibbling, and those students will also be staff officers in the future. ”
At this moment, a young mercenary leader raised his hand and signaled that he had something to say. Zhan Lao Er took a look at the young leader, who was newly promoted, brave in battle and more flexible. Zhan Lao Erxuan pressed it to let everyone be quiet, and then nodded to the man, motioning for the man to express his opinion.
The young leader said: "Actually, it's not just staff officers and cadets who know about the case. The same goes for the authors who wrote the books. ”
"Isn't this nonsense? Staff officers are hard to find, and those who write books are all great gods, can you find them? The people at the bottom were noisy again.
"Be still, and listen to what he has to say. ”
"It's hard to find a book to write, but since you're done, someone will learn it. And the one who learns more thoroughly is the storyteller......"
didn't wait for him to finish speaking, Zhan Lao Er finally grasped his previous inspiration, yes, he didn't look for strategies from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before, but he didn't study the Three Kingdoms deeply. Whoever studies deeply is better than a storyteller. That's been said over and over again, and it's been reversed. So Zhan Lao Er made a decision and said, "Okay, just do as you say, let's ask those storytellers to provide a plan." ”
"But it's also a question of how to invite them here, and if they say they're here to fight, they're probably too scared to come. The young leader asks questions.
The old man said: "This is easy to do, and the way to hire people is to cheat, deceive, coerce and lure." As long as we don't talk about the war, and find some other reason to trap them, can we still let them fail here? Coupled with the temptation of money and profit, there will not be too many people who can refuse those storytellers with average reputation. ”
Another person said: "Also, you can't just choose a storyteller, you have to choose some storytellers who are military and strategically focused." ”
"Yes, those who have said Sun Tzu's Art of War, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Thirty-six Strategies and other similar commentaries are preferred. ”
"Then if someone is invited, how do you stabilize them and make them come up with ideas willingly?"
After a moment of silence, one of the leaders said, "We can ...... like this."
When everyone heard this, they clapped their hands and applauded.
Zhan Lao Er clapped: "Okay, that's it." Now everyone is working according to the arrangement, funding is not a problem, and the results will be seen within five days. ”
After the meeting, the newly promoted young leader fell last, walked up to Zhan Lao Er and whispered: "Boss Zhan, in fact, I still have an idea, that is, I don't go to the elegant hall, so I didn't say it at the meeting just now." ”
