Chapter 773: Executioner
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no fugitives. In fact, superiors can be very tolerant of their subordinates in many cases.
According to the different temperaments of each person, the ruler can be slightly lenient for many problems of his subordinates, such as lack of ability, laziness and laxity, and even greed for money and lust for accepting bribes.
But there is a bottom line to these tolerances, and this insurmountable bottom line is disloyalty. No matter how tolerant or mediocre a ruler is, unless he is deceived or is prepared to carry out a plot or something, he will never tolerate disloyalty and betrayal of his subordinates.
"Ms. Stephanie, I hope you can take it seriously, this is quite a serious situation. Evenson went in and said as if alarmist, "The disloyalty of subordinates is like a plague, it can easily spread rapidly in an organization, and eventually lead to the division and disintegration of the organization." Just like this..."Speaking of this, Evenson stretched out his hand, and a corrosion spell was released, and the poor iron ball that had been rubbed around just now quickly turned into a puddle of black sand under the influence of this spell. ”
Stephanie looked at the puddle of iron sand thoughtfully, it is true that disloyals are like cancer, and one person's infidelity is very likely to lead a large number of people around him. Because when people see that someone betrays but can hide it by luck and does not get the punishment they deserve, it is inevitable that they will think that since there are no serious consequences of betrayal, why should they bother to maintain their loyalty?
Or maybe the boss and colleagues found that someone had committed serious betrayal, but they were afraid that they would be held jointly and severally responsible, so they had to help him cover it up, and eventually this cover-up became a handle, and he was dragged into the water by the muddy feet.
In this case, even if there are still one or two people who can keep their hearts and stick to their original loyalty, but surrounded by a group of betrayers, he has to look up to his boss in the face of betrayal, and he has to deal with interpersonal relationships with affection in the face of betrayed colleagues. Even if he wants to take the risk of exposing it, but as the so-called public mouth is gold, he is very likely to be beaten upside down under the word "public mouth", so in order to ensure that he can survive, he can only choose to go along with it.
This is a very dangerous situation, but the irony is that it is impossible for a large organization to guarantee absolute loyalty to everyone. Stephanie knew this, and so did her father, Malik.
Therefore, we have to settle for the next best thing and raise the price of betrayal as much as possible in order to minimize the possibility of betrayal. This is also known as relative loyalty. For a long time, they all thought it was the right thing to do, and there was a lot of stability within the organization. But judging by what happened yesterday, this idea is too optimistic.
A dangerous glint appeared in Stephanie's eyes, and a betrayer appeared among the carefully selected group of people who were considered highly loyal. Faced with a 50% chance of risk, his loyalty collapsed, and he chose not to simply betray, but to take risks and hold himself hostage completely recklessly.
If such a person would behave in such a crazy way, what about the others who were considered inferior to him in the first place? I am afraid that if the situation is a little more serious, they will immediately disperse, and if they threaten at the slightest degree, they may really want to betray themselves and their fathers, or even tie us up to receive merit.
It's just wonderful. Stephanie was startled by her own thoughts, and she felt like she was sitting on a crater that would erupt at the slightest stimulus.
But... Stephanie shook her head vigorously, is the matter really serious to this point? Could it be because of the stimulus of yesterday's incident that she thinks too much now? "We have always attached great importance to the purity of the organization, we have a very strict set of anti-corruption regulations, and a fairly mature internal monitoring system, could it be that what you said is too much... It's a matter of worry. ”
"Hmph," Evenson sneered, "no matter how perfect the system is, it always needs to be implemented to be useful." ”
Stephani frowned, looking a little unhappy, "Are you trying to say that our system is useless and useless? ”
Although Stephanie agrees with Evenson's ability, she thinks that Evenson has always been just an outsider, how can he know all about Hydra's internal affairs and the extent of the implementation of the system? If he really knows this, then Hydra's anti-rebellion system is really useless.
"That's obvious. Evenson smiled and spread his hands, "The best cure for infidelity is fear, extreme fear. The so-called anti-anti-terrorism regulations and the so-called supervision system all originate from this. ”
"The extreme fear of the consequences of betrayal makes people subconsciously ignore the idea of betrayal, and even if the thought of betrayal is born, they will immediately tremble in fear and dare not take the slightest action. Since it is impossible to restrain people's hearts, there is fear to restrain people's behavior. ”
"Fear... Really a very interesting summary. Evenson's remarks were clearly to Stephanie's appetite. Dominating everything with fear and oppressing sentient beings with fear, Hydra is very much admired by any faction.
"But," continued Evenson, with a sudden change of gear, "the rules, however strict they may be, are dead things, lacking the concreteness of fear. Because once a rigid dogma is formed, human beings will instinctively find ways to avoid it, and the fear effect it produces will be greatly reduced. ”
"Like all the laws in force in the world today, even the most terrible clauses are not as scary as a judge who likes to over-read and over-sentence. ”
That's because fear is not a static dead thing, but an ever-changing dynamic. The only thing that can really make people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts is a human being who is also in the same dynamic as the definition of fear, a human being who is always incomprehensible. ”
Wonderful... Stephanie's eyes flashed, this was the best speech on fear she had ever seen, and if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he really wanted to give Evenson a round of applause.
Just kidding, a warlock's theory of fear, that's really not afraid of anyone but the Shadow Priest. Oops, Evenson didn't know why he suddenly remembered Claire, so it was really sad for the rest of his life.
"However," Evenson dragged out a long note, squinting his eyes at Stephanie, "this character should have been played by your father." ”
"The ancient family of Hydra, which has been consistent for thousands of years, has a strong centripetal force from beginning to end, and there are many reasons for this, but the most important point is that all family members maintain the highest reverence for the head of the family, that is, the patriarch, to the extent of fear, and dare not have the slightest idea of disobedience, let alone betrayal, which is also the so-called authoritarian politics. This is what you Hydra are best at dominating, right?"
Stephanie agrees with most of what Evenson says, except for one thing: "It should have been my father... Are you trying to say that my father is not playing the role of patriarch right now? ”
"I don't know. Evenson shook his head rather straightforwardly, and directly stunned Stephani, you dare to talk nonsense if you don't know?
"Maybe I'm overgeneralizing because of what happened yesterday. Evenson touched his chin and smiled, "To explain in advance, I definitely don't have the slightest disrespect for Ling Zun. ”
"So you're targeting this... Any suggestions for remediation?" Anyway, that's all it takes, even if it's just for a chat Stephanie wouldn't be bad enough to ask. Moreover, this topic is quite constructive, and maybe it will come in handy in the future.
"Executioner. Evenson's eyes narrowed and he said, "In fact, in distant times, every great king had a executioner, who not only carried out the punishment, but also helped carry out their intentions, mainly the punishment, of course. ”
"But in any case it is a glorious job, and this executioner is the embodiment of the fear of betrayal, and he will appear like a shadow to everyone who has the intention of betrayal, and will punish him with the punishment of death, thus ensuring the supremacy of the king!"
"Oh," Stephanie thought for a long time, and suddenly came to her senses, "What do you mean... They wanted me to be the executioner. ”
"Exactly. Evenson did not shy away from admitting that "the prince was the most suitable person for executioner, because while he proclaimed the absolute authority of the king, he also established a high personal prestige, which laid a solid foundation for him to take over the throne in the future." Moreover... Even if... Well... It doesn't matter much. ”
Evenson's last words were unknown, but Stephani understood. It is nothing more than that once the personal authority of the executioner exceeds that of the king, there is a possibility of rebellion and usurpation. But he was originally a prince, so whether he succeeded or failed, the meat was rotten in the pot, and it was better than giving the country to someone else with a foreign surname.
"Besides, as long as a prince is qualified for the position of executioner, then it does not matter if he lacks talent in other areas, because he can at least ensure the internal stability of the organization, and internal stability is the foundation of everything. On the other hand, if you can't ensure internal stability, no matter how good your talents are, it's useless. ”
"I... Am I up to the task?" Stephani was answering questions, but looking at her radiant appearance, it was clear that she was very moved.
Therefore, Evenson said, "You are the only daughter of Mr. Malik, the only heir, destined to be the one who unites all Hydra." But to become such a person, it is not enough to always be the flower in the greenhouse of your father, you must decapitate your head and show your prestige as soon as possible. Besides... You now have the strength to carry out the punishment. ”
The corners of Stephanie's mouth hooked up with an inexplicable smile, and she suddenly turned around and waved her hand, and the ball of iron sand next to her was reassembled into a round ball. It's really a plate of loose sand, let me use this power to reintegrate it.
At this moment, Evenson pulled out a short stick about 25 centimeters long and handed it over, "This is the weapon I built for you." ”
Stephanie took it and saw that the stick was very delicately made, with nine snake heads hovering over it, and a common pattern gathered at one end of the club.
At the other end, there seem to be some inscriptions engraved on it, and when you look closely, it looks like a poem.
Peace is a lie, only desire. Desire gives birth to power, power gives birth to power, power gives birth to victory, victory breaks the shackles, and the Force is free!
After reading this short poem, Stephani seemed to suddenly realize, and he clenched the short stick with both hands to pour the power in his body into it, only to see the nine snake heads open their mouths at the same time, and a bright green lightsaber suddenly stretched out from it!
