Chapter 434: Be a double agent
Daddy George belongs to the kind of person who doesn't speak, but he can't control it when he speaks, so although he keeps telling himself to restrain himself, once he talks about it, he starts to scold non-stop.
After such a refurbishment by George's father, the young and vigorous Bob's face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, and finally he even fainted directly after being scolded.
During this period, Bob did not refute, but in the kung fu of scolding, he was far from Old Jack from the bottom, so in the end, he was still angry, and his head fainted as soon as his head was hot.
Seeing that everyone was fainting, Daddy George simply asked someone to get a basin of cold water and poured it directly on the other party's head, anyway, no matter whether the other party was really faint or not, he had to make him sober up, after all, he was patronizing and scolding people just now, and he hadn't talked about it yet.
Sure enough, being poured with cold water, Bob was full of excitement, and immediately woke up. Nine is to pretend to faint.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Daddy George said to the wet Bob, "It doesn't matter if you're a fool or not, but one thing is for sure, that is, the people below the organization are already suspicious and dissatisfied with our decision-making, otherwise they wouldn't push you out to find out the news, so the existence of you fool is still very necessary, through you, we can better control them." β
"Better control over them?" Bob was stunned, "What do you mean ......?"
"Yes, it's the scum who have forgotten the country and the nation and only know how to kneel and lick the Chinese devils!" Daddy George pouted.
"So what should I do?" Bob asked in a deep voice.
"You don't have to do anything, keep doing your original role. Just perform in your true colors, and make the people below you feel that you are still that naΓ―ve and innocent idiot. Daddy George said. For example, this time, I will give you an accurate answer, and then through your mouth, tell the group below why we should continue to endure and not start a protest at this time. I'm just going to tell them through you that we're still in the same boat, at least for now. Our purpose is still the same.
Of course, if the people below you have any news, you should also tell me as soon as possible. Well. Your current performance, it is estimated that they will not be too wary of you, as long as you observe carefully, you can always find something that others can't find. And then. You can come here and see me at any time without the approval of your manager, do you know what I mean? β
Hearing this, Bob immediately understood that this was to be a double agent himself: "I understand, you want me to be a double agent, and use me to penetrate their interior and spy on their internal intelligence." Can. Is it really necessary? They, I mean. Those grassroots soldiers of the Self-Rescue Association, they all respect you very much, if you are willing to reveal your identity, they will definitely listen to you unconditionally, why bother so much? β
"So, you're still naΓ―ve to think about things." Daddy George shook his head, "Don't think everyone is like you, and don't think that my reputation is really useful. You know, doing things for the Chinese, you can get a lot of tangible benefits, even if most people can resist the temptation of the Chinese, as long as one person can't resist and quietly snitch to the Chinese, not only me, but also the entire self-help association, everything will be finished, do you understand? β
"Even if someone informes, he can't know everything, even if the Chinese suppress, they can't wipe us out, and you are a hero, the Chinese will definitely have some scruples, will not do anything to you, after all, if you are provoked, everyone will be chaotic."
"Heroes? Hmph, even if I am a hero of the Americans, I am not a hero of the Chinese, and they will not care about my reputation. Father George said lightly, "In the past, when we held weapons, we were not opponents of the Chinese, but now we are bare-handed and imprisoned by the Chinese, do you think they will worry about us messing around?" In the event of chaos, if nothing else, the guards with machine guns alone can wipe us all out.
Seriously, sometimes I think Chinese are a little too merciful, they have such a strong power, and they actually pay us captives for such a high cost, if they change me...... Well, it can only be said that there are too many good cards of the Chinese, one hand is a big stick, the other hand is a carrot, and we are really inferior to them in terms of buying people's hearts. β
"Daddy...... No, the general ......"
"Okay, no digressions." Daddy George waved his hand, "In short, my identity must not be revealed to the people below, can you swear, swear not to tell my identity?" β
"Of course, I swear!" Bob immediately raised his right hand, "I swear to God and my mother that I will never reveal anything about you to outsiders, and if I say it, I will not die a good death." β
"Hehe, I believe you." Daddy George grinned and nodded slightly, as if he really approved of his oath.
Like George. People like Jack have never believed in such a ghost thing as an oath, but not to mention that Bob is only one person, others may not believe what he says, and when the time comes, as long as there is no actual evidence, even if Bob says that Daddy George is him, as long as the Chinese have no substantial evidence, they will not easily treat him.
After all, he's George. Rogers. Jack, a big hero of the US army, is also a brigadier general, belongs to a very prominent person, for a person like him, Chinese can not just wait for him, otherwise, they will not give him a room alone, and give him so many preferential treatment.
George didn't know that the expeditionary force gave the captured officers of the U.S. army a standard of treatment, and the more senior the officers, the more so, the original intention was to create a gap between them and the junior officers, after all, although they were all prisoners, if the officers' treatment was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, it was difficult for officers and soldiers to be consistent.
Later studies have shown that in a victorious army with sufficient logistics, the different treatment of officers and soldiers can also play a certain positive role, so that the soldiers below have better self-motivation, but if the logistics are insufficient. In other words, the army that is often defeated, especially after being taken prisoner, also treats officers and soldiers differently. That would create quite a divide.
To put it bluntly, this kind of psychological factor is very simple, it is nothing more than a relationship of common wealth and hardship.
The winning army is actually a model of common wealth, in this case, everyone can get benefits, including honor and wealth. status, etc., so in this mode, even if the officers and soldiers are treated differently. Everyone will not think that there is anything bad, after all, the lower-ranking soldiers will think that sooner or later, he will also become an officer. Enjoy that good treatment.
Napoleon once said. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, what he is talking about is the class relationship under this model, and such an army, without exception, is an army with sufficient logistics, a strict organizational structure, and smooth channels for ascension, and only such an army will have strong combat effectiveness in the case of obvious differences in the treatment of officers and soldiers. Because this is a model of sharing wealth and victory.
Defeated armies, even captive armies that have been captured. The situation is completely different, because in this case, everyone's hearts are more depressed, and it belongs to the mode of falling at the same time. In a mode where everyone is in trouble, what is needed is for the officers and men to be unanimous and show a spirit of sharing hardships and hardships, so that the people's hearts can be united.
On the contrary, if everyone is in trouble, but you enjoy the treatment that ordinary people can't enjoy, especially after being captured, then everyone's recognition of you will be greatly reduced.
Because everyone will think, everyone is a captive, why do you eat and drink well and live well when you are an official, and we have to be unlucky to eat and drink poorly, and do more work than you?
When there is resentment and resentment, it is impossible for officers and soldiers to be as close as they used to be, because this difference in treatment will form an invisible barrier, so that everyone will not trust each other, and thus cannot be condensed into a fist.
Of course, this kind of psychological trick can only deal with those armies that do not have a strong national heart and national concept, and if they deal with an army full of patriotic spirit or unity of mind, then the gains may outweigh the losses.
But it is clear that the US military at this time was not the kind of national army that was thoroughly instilled with patriotism and national pride, they were at best a group of mercenaries, and the employer was nothing more than the government of the United States of America.
In the final analysis, the power of the United States is not strong at this time, and the education is not perfect, so it is impossible to use their patriotic things to be imperceptibly instilled in the people from an early age, so that these people are full of a sense of belonging and pride in the United States, and then burst out with a completely different sense of loyalty.
In a sense, Americans at this time had a very low sense of belonging to the United States, because most of them immigrated from Europe, and many of them, especially the upper class, were still proud of their original European hometowns, and for the United States, they were just a temporary place to live, and they did not regard them as their hometowns.
Although after such a long time, the United States also has its own so-called Yankees, but these pure Yankees are not many in number, in the sixties of the nineteenth century, generally speaking, Yankees, that is, specifically northerners, and more specifically, mainly northerners, such as Americans in New England.
All in all, the United States has not yet formed its own inherent culture, and this young country, which is only a hundred years old, has not yet been able to give its citizens a strong sense of identity, not to mention new immigrants, even those who have lived in the country for decades or hundreds of years, do not have a strong sense of identity with the United States.
In this regard, the United States is not as good as China, even if China was backward in the past, but the concept of Greater China is deeply rooted in the hearts of every Chinese, especially the Han people, so great unification is the mainstream, Han civilization has also become the mainstream civilization, even if foreign races become rulers, they cannot completely erase the Han civilization, they can only be assimilated, this is the terrible thing about the long-standing civilization, because they have strong resilience.
As long as this resilience is strong enough, then no matter how oppressed and humiliated this civilization and nation is, it will not eventually be defeated, and it will eventually completely engulf its enemies with its own profound heritage.
For example, in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in another time and space, the Japanese said that they would destroy China in three months, but they did not understand the profound heritage of China, and only when they fought did they know that they had fallen into a quagmire.
In later generations, many people on the Internet said that China did not defeat Japan, but the Americans defeated it, but in fact, this is not how to pretend to understand, because judging from the situation at that time, even if Japan did not move the Eastern Army, even if the United States did not fight Japan, and Japan went all out to deal with China, he would still fail sooner or later.
This is not to say that China's army is stronger than Japan's, the key is that China is too big, and the national spirit has been stimulated, and the war against Japan has become a nationwide mode of resistance against Japan.
In this mode, it is like a world war, a model of endless death between the whole country, and the final look is not whether the army is powerful or not, but the comprehensive national strength and the ability to withstand war, that is, how endurance is.
In the Sino-Japanese War, China was a tank type with insufficient attack power but strong durability, while Japan was an assassin type with strong attack but insufficient durability. At the beginning, Japan was indeed very sharp, and China could not find the north, but as long as China reacted, with its strong heritage, Japan would still fail after all.
Because Japan was an industrial power at that time, so many weapons and ammunition cost money, and no matter in every battle, whether Japan won or lost, the cost was much higher than that of China.
Therefore, after the War of Resistance was fought, Japan was already at the end of its strong crossbow, not only was there a serious lack of resources, but its finances were also on the verge of bankruptcy, and the people at the bottom of Japan were even inferior to the Chinese, and their poverty was to the extreme, all supported by the enthusiasm for winning the war.
However, once this momentum passes, the weakness of reality will eventually defeat Japan, so foreign media have also said that the war between China and Japan, even without the help of the United States or the Soviet Union, relying solely on China's own strength, as long as it continues to persevere, China will win sooner or later.
Because in the final analysis, China is too big, and such a behemoth cannot be completely defeated by a single Japan in a modern war, and only the classical era, which lacks the national heart and the concept of the state, that is, the so-called feudal era, has a glimmer of possibility.
In other words, during the Manchu Dynasty, Japan could still swallow China, but unfortunately, Japan at that time was also weak, even if it won the First Sino-Japanese War, it still could not swallow China, and could only make some benefits and show a sense of superiority, but there was no substantial change in addition.
On the contrary, when China has recovered its strength, its huge size will begin to exert its power, and after the beginning of the 20 th century, especially after the beginning of the 21 st century, China has begun to exert its strength, and Japan has become uneasy.
In the 21 st century, no matter how strong Japan's navy is, in the face of the huge China, it can only survive under the protection of the United States.
This is the crushing of absolute strength, and it is absolutely not something that can be changed by a few so-called advanced armies.
"Okay, time is limited, don't say much off-topic, you can listen carefully to me now." George. Rogers. Jack said to Bob, "I'll tell you right now, what I'm going to make everyone endure and endure." β
Immediately after, Daddy George began to succinctly state his reasons, and Bob understood why he wanted the grassroots personnel of the Self-Rescue Association to continue to keep to themselves, and not to provoke at this time, or to hold large-scale protests against the Chinese.
