Chapter 7: Decision-making Storm
There are many ethnic groups on the continent of Rabi Eyre, but there are only 4 races with the most strength and the largest number of people: the dwarves who are good at weapon forging, love metal ores, and have a simple temperament; Good at elemental magic and archery, tall and handsome elves; A half-orc clan who is good at physical attacks and hand-to-hand combat, strong and hideous; and the Dark Demon Clan, the most powerful of the 4 clans, the Nicoro Empire.

For two thousand years, the demons have been dominating the vast hilly areas in the north of the continent, and the total area of the empire accounts for about 1/3 of the total area of the continent, worthy of the name of the northern overlord, but the powerful demons are extremely docile, and try to maintain friendly diplomatic relations with other races, because the main mineral resources needed by the demons - sulfur, a large number of them are concentrated in the active volcanic areas in the north, and the demons are not interested in the vast grasslands in the south, so they rarely launch wars of aggression, and the other 3 races are also afraid of the power of the demons. An'an is divided into peaceful development in their respective territories.
The peace between the countries of the continent lasted for nearly two thousand years, but about ten years ago, the political pattern on the continent of Rabi El suddenly surged, I don't know why, the small tribes and small tribes have moved closer to the three major races outside the demon race, just when the demon clan analyzed and studied this strange phenomenon, the continental war suddenly broke out, in the absence of a declaration of war, the three major races actually secretly formed an alliance, united together to attack the demon race, the demon race was caught off guard, defeated and retreated, and finally the two armies held each other in the capital of the demon empire - Abys, known as the city that never sleeps, is in a bitter battle between the two sides. The demons struggled to support in Abys, and finally withstood the crazy attack of the coalition army after paying a huge price, and when the demons were preparing to fight back in one fell swoop, the Protoss appeared, giving the demons who were already exhausted the last fierce fatal blow, and the strong demons finally had no power to return to the sky, so they had to choose to withdraw from the capital Abys City, continue to retreat to the north, and force the coalition forces to a small corner in the northeast, before finally using the terrain to stabilize their positions, trying to recuperate, and secretly preparing to revive the empire.
How did things get to this point? It turns out that everything is a resource war secretly planned by the mysterious Protoss behind the scenes, and the entire Protoss lives in a strange space called the Sky Sanctuary over the continent, the Sanctuary is infinitely vast, and the only flaw is the lack of resources, so the Protoss signed an agreement with the other 3 clans on the continent to completely eliminate the demons, and the 3 clans carved up the territory of the demons, and the Protoss obtained the corresponding resources, so the demons who have always maintained the friendly demeanor of the great powers fell victim to other people's political transactions.
The resource war on the continent has lasted from ten years ago to the present, the three major races are getting stronger and stronger, and the situation of the demon race in the dead country is becoming less and less optimistic, Reed walked briskly towards the combat headquarters, while listening to Emma's report on the basic information of the above continental war, fortunately, Reed had already learned some in advance yesterday, so before arriving at the headquarters, Reed finally had a general understanding of the current situation of the demons. While asking Emma some detailed questions, Reed walked into the headquarters and met with Princess Fia and her staff.
Quiet, the room was unusually quiet, including Princess Fia herself was quietly trying to think, everyone frowned tightly and did not make a sound, as if the heartbeat and breathing were clearly audible, only occasionally thought of something to write quickly on the paper, and only in the silence did the 'rustle' sound of writing. As soon as Reed entered the room, Princess Fia and the others just glanced up at Reed before continuing to lose sight of their own contemplation. Reed glanced at the silent crowd for a few moments, frowned and muttered for a moment, then walked straight to the large clipboard in the middle of the room, hastily drew an "O" shape on it, and turned around to break the silence of the room, "Can any of you tell me what I wrote on it?" ”
Everyone first looked Reed up and down curiously, then turned their heads to look at the contents of the clipboard, and then turned back to look at Reed more curiously, as if they didn't understand. Reed quietly looked at the crowd, waiting for their answers, and after a brief eye contact, everyone finally understood that the newcomer was not joking, so under the nod of Princess Fia, an officer replied to Reed in an affirmative tone, "The letter o, or the number 0, or a circular figure, what do you want to illustrate?" ”
"Is this your final answer, oh sorry, I haven't asked your Excellency yet?"
"I'm the Chief of Staff of the Nikoro Empire, and my name is Bao," and then Bao looked at the clipboard carefully, shook his head, and said, "I don't have anything more to add." ”
"What about the others, do you have any other opinions?" Reed asked everyone present, everyone shook their heads gently, waiting for Reed to explain what the special meaning of this simple question was, seeing that everyone had no opinion, Reed walked to the front of the clipboard, pointed to the "o" on it and said, "The letter o, the number 0, and a circle are all correct answers, but it is far from enough, it can also be an apple, a pet egg, a gem, it can be the sun, a star, the moon, it can also be a bald head, a mirror, a cup bottom, or even a puddle of water stains, A magic missile, of course, there are many, many answers, what do you think? ”
Shocked, what an amazing imagination, everyone immediately looked at Reed with disbelief, not understanding how Reed could deduce so many answers from simple graphics, but Reed ignored everyone's surprise and continued, "These correct answers are not thought up by me alone, but compiled by experts and scholars in various fields, and these are only a small part of them. It was a story that once our army intercepted the enemy's secret information, and there was an indecipherable symbol on it, which is the one we all see now' The last general decided to solicit the opinions of experts and scholars from all over the country, to gather all the people of all positions together to think, and to speak out bravely what came to mind, so that with the collective wisdom of the people, he got the answers I said earlier, and one of them submitted the answer in a joking tone: It is very similar to the earrings of a beautiful woman I saw on the street. It was this joke that the military, combined with other information, finally cracked the code and captured the intelligence operator in one fell swoop - a beautiful spy wearing a large round earring ornament on her right ear. ”
Everyone's breathing was a little heavy, and all the attention was drawn to the story, Reed continued, "Of course, the final successful cracking is a special example, but cracking the code will be an inevitable fact, a gardener can imagine a seed sprouting when he sees it, and a magician is already burying his head in calculating the trajectory and distance of its flight, when people with different personalities and concepts gather together to think and analyze the same problem from different angles, the puzzle will have nothing to hide, This is known as the 'decision storm' analysis. ”
Yes, a person's thinking has limitations, but at the same time his thinking has a one-sided prominence, no matter how smart a thinker is, there will always be some places that are not as good as others, or even as ordinary people, and on the contrary, sometimes a sentence from ordinary people is precisely the key to the matter, this is the so-called wisdom of a thousand considerations must have a mistake, a fool of a thousand considerations must have a gain of the truth, therefore, when an individual can not break through a certain difficulty, he will turn to the group; When a certain group cannot break through, expand the group members, try to include people with different backgrounds and different ideas, and think from a more comprehensive perspective, and there will be a day when we can break through.
"It is better to use the analysis method of the 'decision-making storm' to invite some non-military people to join the strategic planning and think about problems from different angles and in different ways, which will definitely be many times better than the effect of your single-direction and lonely operation."
Everyone looked at Reed with only surprise and admiration in their eyes, and in the next second, everyone invariably looked at Princess Fia on the throne with more admiring eyes, because it was this woman at the beginning, under the pressure of huge consumption of materials, she was determined to order Emma to go to another continent to find a suitable soul, which can not only bring strong combat power to the empire, but also can impact the demons with different history and culture, and bring new ideas and new hopes to the demonsOn the first day of taking office, the newly appointed Demon General entered a completely different and better decision-making concept for the Demon Clan.
Ba'o's admiring gaze kept patrolling back and forth between Princess Fia and Reed, as the chief of staff, he understood more deeply than others what kind of huge wealth of thought the 'decision-making storm' would bring to the demons, so Ba'o sighed for a while, and immediately ordered his subordinates to carry out the formation of a new 'decision-making storm' staff department, striving to include experienced talents in various fields, including people of different ages and different statuses.
After driving all his subordinates out to carry out a new mission, Bao explained to the newly appointed Demon General with a serious face the biggest dilemma encountered by the Demon Clan......
