Conquerorsarà granulosa (The conqueror must be resilient)

- Bocius (Roman poet)

After confirming that the person in charge of the brocade guard, that is, the commander, was Vipsani, Luquis also took the opportunity to mention that he still had something to deal with in the evening and needed to go back; Oscar also happily agreed to Luquis's early departure. That's where Luquis excels; He knew that Oscar would leave him alone. That is to reveal his heart to himself and completely eliminate the estrangement between the two; So that the two monarchs and ministers can work together to fight for the family.

As for inquiring about Vipsani's appointment, it was simply a gesture of Oscar; Oscar used this kind of detailed information to show Luquis his trust in him, and also used the choice of personnel appointments to reflect Luquis's status. But is Luquis free to express his opinion? Of course not! Those who are leaders have the posture of being leaders, and those who are courtiers must also have the consciousness of being courtiers; That's the game.

Luquis closed the door to the conference room and immediately turned to leave; After Luquis's footsteps faded away, Oscar looked at the silent Vepsani and handed Vipsani a parchment roll. On this parchment scroll is the establishment and rank of the brocade guard; The whole Jinyi system is:

The Brocade Guard is made up of warriors, agents, and spies. The warriors chose those with majestic physiques and courage to serve as the fighting troops in the Jinyi Guard. Agents and spies select men or former slaves who are in good health and have no criminal records to fill up the posts after special training; Agents are responsible for inspecting and supervising the family's territory, while spies are responsible for infiltrating other forces and the family's territory.

There is one commander at the headquarters, who is the same as the commander of the corps; Commanding two fellow intellectuals (one in charge of soldiers, one in charge of agents and spies), and the deputy general of the same legion; Commanding two servants (belonging to the same knowledge), the same co-captain; The two pacification envoys (separate subordinates) are the same captains. The entire headquarters is responsible for directing and mobilizing the Jinyi Guards in each province and in every other force, and directly commands the most elite 500 Jinyi Guards and 100 core agents.

Each province or other power (e.g., the power of the family of Julius, the power of the Kingdom of Numidia) shall have one thousand households, the same as the chief centurion; Two deputy thousand households (one provincial warrior, one agent; The other forces have one agent and the other spy), and they are the same as centurions; There are 10 people in 100 households (belonging to 1,000 households), and they are the same as the ten masters. Other forces, Jinyi Wei, deputy 1,000 households and 100 households, do not specifically limit the number of people.

The Augustus family province was directly under the command of 200 warriors and 100 agents, and each centurion was directly responsible for 40 soldiers or 20 agents. There is no specific limit on the number of agents and spies under the control of other forces, but the number of agents or spies under each centurion must not exceed 10; So as not to capture a centurion and lose multiple agents and spies.

After reading the compilation and rank on the parchment scroll, Vipsani wondered: "Your Excellency, is the level of the entire brocade guard system slightly lower?" Isn't the number of people too strict? It is impossible for such a number of people to complete the supervision of the entire family! And, how do we guarantee the loyalty of those agents to their families and the Brocade Guard? ”

Vipsani's bloody questions made Oscar have to admire his wisdom; So, Oscar patiently explained: "The level of the entire Jinyiwei system is indeed low, but Jinyiwei is a new organization after all; If the level is too high, it will inevitably make the rest of the family dissatisfied. If nothing else, there is only one family now, and it will be the territory of two provinces; Where do you need that high level?

And, what kind of position can you hold with your current qualifications? Therefore, the higher level must wait until the further expansion of the family in the future and the achievements of Jinyi Wei that are obvious to everyone. As for the number of people, Jinyiwei is just that the intelligence organization has very low requirements for combat effectiveness, and the number of fighters is naturally not too much.

Also, all of the spies and agents in my project are the elite and absolute loyalists of the Jinyi Guard. They can secretly recruit down-line intelligence agents to serve them within their families, provinces, or other forces; But these people are not visible, and the family will not admit it, and it is the hard work of every agent and spy himself. The most important issue of faithfulness is another brainwashing scheme. ”

"Brainwashing?!"

"Yes, brainwashing! The so-called brainwashing does not mean to rinse the brain, nor does it mean to make up panic and distort the truth, but a propaganda method to establish prejudice in the truth. In a nutshell, it is to be indoctrinated in a way that has been designed to make that idea so ingrained, whether it is a ridiculous-sounding statement, whether it is true or wrong. ”

When Vipsani heard Oscar's words, he said with a look of horror: "How is this possible?!" It is impossible for even the lowest slave to trust others so blindly, let alone the agents and spies we have carefully selected. This is simply controlling others to become puppets! Even a wizard's hypnotism is impossible, isn't it? How could there be such a strange method in this world? ”

Oscar smiled mysteriously, and then said seriously: "You will know if you listen to my explanation, but only you and I know about this matter; Never let anyone else know. Vipsani quickly nodded and said that he would not leak it out. A powerful and strange picture scroll slowly unfolded with Oscar's words:

"The whole brainwashing program is divided into seven steps. First, brainwashing is divided into the baptist and the baptized, which can be brainwashing by one person to many people, or brainwashing by many people to one person, and the most common is brainwashing by many people to many people. Among the many baptists, there is generally one main baptist, and the other baptizers will use the method of carrying a sedan chair to build the main baptist into authority in terms of morality, knowledge, ability, etc.

However, it is also common for the baptized to join the ranks of the baptists more enthusiastically after being successfully brainwashed, and voluntarily become the assistant of the main baptist to influence the other baptists. There is a similar principle to hypnosis here, perhaps brainwashing itself applies some principles of hypnosis, and the baptist must be higher than the baptized person in order to guide the baptized person into the language environment created by the baptist and prepare for the change of the other person's mind. In addition to the requirements for the quality of the baptist himself, the general baptist often asks the assistant to do childcare and create a tall image.

The second is to choose the brainwashed. The selection of brainwashed people is not as you think, but people with low education or low IQ; On the contrary, people with higher education and higher IQs are more suitable candidates for brainwashing because they are more receptive to fresh and abstract theories. In fact, in the end, people who are successfully brainwashed are indispensable to doubt their own existing values, and doubts and dissatisfaction with real life and values are the entry point of brainwashing.

It should be said that there are three kinds of people who are easily attracted or selected to be brainwashed: one is teenagers whose spiritual world is relatively pure and whose values have not yet been formed; The second is that the values are affected by the real life of the society, resulting in confused people; The third type is people who are more focused on the values themselves, and the formation of their own values comes from books or theories. These three types of people share a common characteristic. That is, the self-personality is not complete, and it needs to be guided spiritually, and among human beings, there is no shortage of objects suitable for selection and brainwashing, especially many aristocratic teenagers and girls are the most suitable.

Third, there is theory. Brainwashing is the process of implanting a theory into the minds of others, so no matter how ever-changing this theory is, there is always a certain pattern to be found. The first is uniqueness, and theories that can be applied to brainwashing will not be open-ended, but can only admit the absolute correctness of a certain theory, and repeatedly emphasize the omnipotence of this theory, which can also be called exclusivity. Second, origin, the best brainwashing theories all start with a simple truth, which is absolutely correct and irrefutable, which can lay the foundation for the correctness of the entire system built from it. What if there is still controversy about this initial point of origin, then it has been emphasized again and again that the conclusion of this absolute and always correct conclusion must be established in the minds of the subjects in the arguments of many parties.

The third is called benefiting human nature, the theory suitable for brainwashing will always tell the baptized person what benefits it can bring, and will bring a bright future to the whole human race or group in the future, so that the baptized person will die in the expected benefits and future glorious achievements, the fourth is to make enemies, brainwashing theory is not taboo hostile theory, even if there is no hostile theory, it is necessary to create a hostile theory, so as to deepen the belief of the baptized person in the criticism of it.

To sum up, if you see a theory that claims to be the only correct one that can save people, save the country, and save the world, and the whole theoretical system is deduced from a simple and correct point, and criticizes all other contradictory theories, you should be sure that the propagandists are carrying out a great brainwashing campaign. ”

After talking about the first three steps of the brainwashing plan, Oscar felt a little thirsty and picked up the wine on the table and took a big sip; Then he looked at the stunned Vepsani, who was already frightened, and said wittily: "Vipsani, can you still listen to it?" You don't behave like the famous cunning fox right now! “

Vepsani reluctantly smiled at Oscar with a smile that was worse than crying.
