Chapter 166: Each has his own mind
"Matsumoto-kun, Matsumoto-kun, you must believe us!" A seemingly upright president of the Japanese guild was desperately explaining to Matsumoto Masaga at this time: "We were all bewitched by that guy from Ghost Nobunaga, and we really didn't mean to dismantle your platform." We all know that your plan is better, but Nobunaga's plan is clearly to rob everyone of the fruits of their labor, and if we don't follow suit, we may end up with nothing. You also know that the interests of so many of our people are there, and we, as guild leaders, can't watch everyone's interests suffer, right? So we ......"
Before the guy could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Matsumoto Masaga's suddenly outstretched hand. "You don't have to explain it to me."
"No, you don't understand." When the chairman heard Matsumoto Masaga say this, he thought he was angry, and quickly wanted to continue to defend himself.
Matsumoto Masaga saw that he was so excited, and immediately stopped: "I don't want to talk to you now because I don't want to repeat my words every time the president comes, so I decided to settle the matter one at a time." If you really plan to follow me, then stop pestering me, and immediately help me inform as many guild forces as possible, and tell them that if you want to do anything with me, go to my dungeon at eight o'clock tonight for a meeting, and I will explain everything to you clearly. No one is to come to see me alone until then, I will not meet anyone, and even if you find me, I will not talk to you about anything. When the evening meeting is over, if you still want to talk to me alone, I promise to talk to you one by one. Never break your word. ā
With Matsumoto Masaga's words, the chairman of the plea and the others nearby immediately stopped, and then collectively expressed their gratitude to Matsumoto Masaka and left Matsumoto Masaka one after another to inform the acquaintances, and Matsumoto Masaka also returned to his dungeon smoothly. He had a lot to attend to before the evening meeting began.
Shortly after Matsumoto Masaga returned to the dungeon to arrange the evening's work, three important meetings began in several other parts of Asia.
The first meeting place was actually not far from Matsumoto Masaga's dungeon, and the meeting was attended by basically all the presidents of all the existing guilds in Japan, as well as some idle high-end players. What they are talking about is actually very simple, that is, how to deal with oneself in the future.
"What the hell are we going to do?" A long, five-year-old and three-thick president asked.
A thinner chairman next to him sighed, "What else can we do but completely fall to Matsumoto Masaka?" This time we have offended him miserably! ā
A female president immediately continued, "Who's to say it's not! If Matsumoto hadn't taken the initiative to release the news that he would have called everyone for a meeting in the evening, I would have been embarrassed to see him again! In order to snatch Matsumoto Masaga's achievements and make it what it is now, in the end, we have to be dealt with by others, and you say that this will make us how we will behave in the future? ā
"Completely falling to Matsumoto Masaga, I don't think it's necessary." A high-level player with a slightly pointed beak said, "Since Matsumoto Masaga wants us to meet him in the evening, it is clearly trying to recruit everyone to become the overlord of Japan again." For that purpose, I don't think it's likely that he'll do anything to us, and he'll probably turn a blind eye to this incident. So we can't be cowardly, we have to ......"
Before the guy's words were finished, he saw the previous president of the five big and three rough standing up and pointing at him and scolding: "Gong Baotian, you greedy guy, if it weren't for you, our guilds wouldn't have gotten to this point." When has this been? How dare you make a big deal out of it? Do you really think Matsumoto Masaga is a soft persimmon? Or are you just trying to kill all of us? I sue you, I won't listen to any of your rhetoric anyway, and you won't appear in the sphere of influence of our Tianze Society in the future, otherwise I will kill you once I see you. ā
"President Daito, it's not right for you to say that, I ......"
"Miyahoda, you greedy idiot, what President Daito said is not wrong at all. We have already lost a lot by believing in your lobbying last time, and it is impossible to listen to you again this time. I mention yƬ to expel this bastard from our joint meeting immediately. Raise your hand in agreement. As soon as the chairman who spoke finished speaking, he raised his hand, and then immediately raised a large arm next to him, and after a slight pause, more people also raised their hands, and in the end, almost no one in the entire hall did not raise their hands except for Miyasuda himself.
Seeing that so many people agreed to expel him, Miyabaoda couldn't sit still. He jumped up directly and pointed at the people present and scolded: "You bastards who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, why didn't you come out and say these words when you divided the interests in the first place?" Now that the plan has failed, you will blame me, you are too shameless, right? ā
"You idiot, don't make a noise out there." An older president shouted to the guard at the door, "Come on, throw him out." ā
The guy named Miyabota immediately struggled to resist when he saw the guards coming to pull him, but a word from one of the guild chairmen next to him quieted him down. "More than ninety percent of Japan's cutting-edge armed forces are concentrated here, do you still plan to single-handedly take on all of us here?" That's right. The people who can come to the meeting are either high-level players who have been practicing for a long time or alone, and none of these people are poor in force, so if you want to resist here, it is basically equivalent to looking for death.
Seeing that the guy who was in the way was dragged out, the older chairman who called the guards before stood up again and said: "What we are going to discuss now is not actually how to decide the camp, I believe that as long as you are not an idiot, you should know that we have no other way out than to follow Matsumoto Masaka with all our hearts." Summoning everyone to come here before is nothing more than to let everyone unify their voices in advance, so as to win the greatest benefits for us in future cooperation, that's all. If anyone is still counting on playing tricks with Matsumoto Masaka, then please leave here now, you don't need to participate in this meeting anymore. ā
"That's a good point." A guild leader, who looked like a rich man at first glance, stood up in a gorgeous battle armor and said, "All of you here are smart people, and I believe you know better than me why we are here. Righteousness, honor, public morality, that's all nonsense. There is only one word in the eyes and heads of those of us - profit. It doesn't matter what you think of Matsumoto Masaga right now, it doesn't matter if you worship him or hate him. The point is that he can lead us to victory and earn us greater benefits, so I decided to tie myself to Matsumoto Masaga's chariot and make a fortune with him. If anyone doesn't want to get rich, then please leave silently, but if anyone wants to stand in the way of us, then don't blame me for being unkind. ā
Hearing the president's words, many of the people present nodded slightly unconsciously, obviously they all agreed with this theory.
With the words of this president and the words of the elder at the bottom, the discussion that followed became much more rapid and fruitful. Everyone, you and I cobbled together all kinds of ideas and plans to perfect their plan for dividing interests, hoping to get more benefits from the meeting with Matsumoto Masaga in the evening and not offend Matsumoto Masaga again, after all, they owed Matsumoto Masaga too much.
Originally, with the interests of these people, they didn't care about who they owed or anything, anyway, as long as they had benefits, no matter how much they offended others, they would definitely be at ease. However, although their minds are darker, their brains are not stupid. Matsumoto Masaka and I have shown various tug-of-war states in terms of personal strength, tactical arrangement, and even strategic layout, which all illustrate Matsumoto Masaka's wisdom and ability. How can such a person allow others to take advantage of him? They had taken advantage of Matsumoto Masaga's gamble before, but it turned out that Matsumoto Masaga's plan was so perfect that it could not be modified anywhere, so they wanted to usurp Matsumoto Masaga's plan to gain nothing but mess up the whole thing. In order not to happen again, they had to follow in the footsteps of Matsumoto Masaka, even if it was to whisper to Matsumoto Masaka, even if they had to let Matsumoto Masaka have the largest share of interests first, it was all at the expense.
At the same time as the guild leaders were meeting, Onite Nobunaga was also meeting in a small village hidden in the mountains outside of Japan. Of course, unlike the meeting of guild leaders and high-level players with nearly 1,000 people over there, the meeting on Onite Nobunaga's side was much more deserted, and except for the guy Kohata Kenjiro who was still following him, Onite Nobunaga couldn't find a master who could be called by name in Japan. It can even be said that there is only one Japanese shrimp soldier and crab general left by his side.
"President, what are we going to do in the future?" One of the players asked, looking at Nobunaga Ghost with a sad face.
Before Nobunaga could answer, another player immediately said, "Why don't we go to Matsumoto Masaka's meeting in the evening?" Even if we offend him, Matsumoto Masaga needs to put on a posture and shouldn't kill us all. As long as we lower our posture, I believe that we can still make some gains, at least we will not be completely disintegrated, right? ā
As soon as the guy finished speaking, a guy sitting next to Ghost Nobunaga who looked fiery and had a bad temper immediately stood up and pointed at the guy and scolded: "Nara Shinsuke, if you are scared, just get out of here, go and go to Matsumoto Masaga to be your watchdog." Don't disgrace us here! ā
was scolded by this guy, and Shinsuke Nara also became angry. He roared back in a louder voice. "You idiot, you know how to hit hard. In the past, we were iron, and it didn't matter if we smashed an egg and knocked a stone, it was hard. But now we're left with this layer of eggshells, and you're going to fucking have to be hard. You're not happy to have all of our money, aren't you? You call me a softass, but I think you're a fool. If I'm a soft egg, I ran with me when so many people quit the club just now, and which one of them can stay is not for the good of our guild? I'm trying to make a proposal to the president, you idiot knows how to come hard, and you have the ability to find a way to get out? Otherwise, if you go and destroy Matsumoto Masaka alone, then we will all mess with you in the future, can you? ā
That straight-hearted guy was immediately dumbfounded by Shinsuke Nara's yell, he just stood up to vent his anger just now, and now that he thinks about it, it's really like that. He couldn't beat Matsumoto Masaka, and their guild couldn't fight Matsumoto Masaka's forces anymore, so there were only two options in this case. Either completely give up dignity and fall to Matsumoto Masaga, from now on be a lackey, charge at the forefront, and finally share the remaining rotten bones after the battle. Either you just have to be tough and go it alone. However, although the first article is guaranteed by drought and flood, the return is small, and it is estimated that there will be no more future in this life. As for the second method, I don't know if the return is there, but the effort will definitely not be much smaller than the first one, and it will even be more difficult. But there is one advantage to going it alone, and that is that there is hope for a redevelopment in the future, but this hope is basically as illusory as winning the lottery.
"Don't think about taking refuge in Matsumoto Masaka." Just as the members were all thinking, Kenjiro Kohato suddenly spoke. "I've already discussed it with Ghost Hand Jun before, and we plan to develop in Japan. Even if we don't borrow Matsumoto Masaga's east wind, we will not die out completely. ā
Onite Nobunaga also nodded and said, "Yes, this is the result of our discussion. We hope you can support us. ā
"President, it's not that I don't support you. Just, I'd like to hear you explain why you're doing this? I always felt that it was dangerous. Shinsuke Nara asked.
Listening to Shinsuke Nara's question, everyone else looked at Onite Nobunaga, and it was obvious that everyone wanted to know the answer. Ghost Nobunaga looked at their expressions and knew that he couldn't explain it, so he said, "Actually, I hesitated at first, but then I figured it out. Although Matsumoto Masaga shows benevolence and righteousness on the outside, I never believe that he really cares about us pit him. He just didn't have a good reason to do it directly to us, not that he really didn't hate us. So, once we really take our refuge in Matsumoto Masaga, I think that although he will definitely accept us as a sign of his tolerance, secretly he will definitely do something to us. On the one hand, we continue to assign difficult tasks and use us as cannon fodder to consume our strength, on the other hand, we definitely get the least in terms of benefit distribution, and we may even do day jobs, so there is no way out with Matsumoto Masaka. ā
"Wouldn't it be better if we did it ourselves?"
"It can't be said to be better, it can only be said to be nine deaths. No, it's not that strict. Nobunaga thought for a moment before he continued, "If we don't take root in Matsumoto Masaka, then he can't directly order us to do something." Of course, he can use national righteousness to suppress us, but this time we have already offended all the guilds in Japan anyway, so we don't have to think about the image at all. To put it mildly, we are the hob meat now, as long as we are scoundrels to the end, Matsumoto Masaga can't do anything about us. No matter how scoundrel we are, we are still Japanese after all, and he can't attack us directly. When they fight back against the Chinese, we can follow them. Although we are not in a unified command, Kenjiro Kohato and I are still fighting hard, and with your efforts, it should still be possible to take down one or two small cities. And no matter how we fight, after all, we are rebelling against the Chinese, so other Japanese guilds should not be too difficult for us, so that we can at least get a certain amount of living space after the war. As for the future development, I think if we can have two small cities, at least we won't be worse off than we are now, right? ā
After listening to Ghost Nobunaga's explanation, the people around him fell into a state of thought, but as long as they figured it out, they should all accept Ghost Nobunaga's opinion, after all, this plan is currently the most beneficial way for them. Of course, this is just their own opinion, and if they knew about my relationship with Matsumoto Masaga, they probably wouldn't have considered this plan.
The meeting of Nobunaga Ghost and the meeting of the Japanese presidents were held in Japan at the same time, and the Chugoku region naturally could not be idle. Due to the fact that we were attracted by the affairs of the Russian Protoss, and because the counterattack plan developed by Nobunaga Oni Hite delayed the return of our elite again, the invasion of the Russian Expeditionary Force proceeded rapidly. Although our side has used various tactics, including exchanging space for time, tactics are only auxiliary means after all, and we can't copy the peerless strategy of singing an empty city plan with a guzheng like Zhuge Wuhou, so the interception plan has made no progress at all except to slow down the Russian invasion under the huge gap in the number and quality of personnel.
Now, though, it's a different story. The matter of the Russian Protoss has been settled, and the crazy counterattack of the Japanese has also been stopped by our thunderous blows, and we are not afraid of the Russians at all after we have our hands freed. After all, we are no worse than them in terms of high-end forces or the number of personnel, and it was a multi-front battle that dispersed the forces before, and now it is our turn to clench our fists and beat people.
Of course, before beating someone, you must at least coordinate your offensive strategy. After all, the Russian army has invaded the hinterland of our country too deeply, and the biggest problem in fighting on the soil of our own country is that we have to pay for all the battlefield damage, so we must plan the details carefully. Of course, in addition to this detailed arrangement of the campaign, Rose also has a larger plan, that is, a counter-invasion of Russia.
Since the Russian invasion has caused us internal losses, why can't we enter Russian territory and make up for this loss? You must know that Russia's areas close to China's territory are basically no-man's land, not only with a large area, but also with many resources, easy to seize, and huge benefits. Now we have both strength and excuses, and it's so sorry not to bite a piece of meat from those polar bears for such a good opportunity.
