Chapter 850: How Many Pieces of Waste Paper ?

Psychological warfare.

Strictly speaking, every war involves a psychological game between the commanders of both sides.

Whether consciously or passively, the officers of both sides are engaged in psychological battles all the time, and the side that finally guesses the opponent's movements or induces the opposing commander to step into the trap has a relatively high chance of winning.

The so-called intrigue and trickery also came from this.

However, in the final analysis, whether it is to speculate on the psychology of the enemy's commander or to use means to induce the other side, it is only aimed at the behavior of as little as one officer or as many as a dozen or twenty officers, and the ultimate goal is mainly to induce one or dozens of officers, and does not involve or influence more people.

Foster understands these superficial truths.

After paying so much "tuition" to Vega, he has already upgraded from a frontal confrontation to knowing how to guard against the enemy, and at the same time setting traps for the enemy to induce the enemy into his own rhythm of war.

But Foster ......

No, not only Foster, but even the other officers who paid a lot of "tuition" to Vega, have not yet noticed that Vega not only sets psychological traps for commanders in every war, but also does not forget to induce the masses.

Others see the temptation of the masses as a by-product.

Therefore, when they blindly imitate Vega, they become only in their form and not in their gods, so that the same strategy is used like divine help on one side, and it becomes nondescript when used on the other side.

Therefore, almost all people have a blind eye on how to induce the public.

In other words.

Ordinary officers want to win by deceiving one person, while Vega wants to deceive 99% of people to defeat the enemy.

In his opinion, as long as 99 percent of the people are deceived, then the remaining 1 percent, even if all the top officers, cannot change the direction of the war, because war is never the business of the commander alone.

Just like an avalanche, there is not a single snowflake of innocence.

The soldiers only thought that the defeat was due to the improper command of the officers, but the fact was that each of their soldiers contributed to the defeat. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Vega saw everything clearly and clearly.

In the history of the planet, there have been countless such wars.

The so-called embattled and fought against the water...... It was the commander who used means to induce and deceive the enemy or almost all of his own soldiers, which laid the victory.

And it doesn't matter if it's Foster or some other officer.

Their eyes are always on Vega, and they hope to guess what Vega is going to do next, or to deceive Vega's eyes so that Vega can't anticipate their plans.

They have been targeting Vega alone, and Vega has been targeting a group of them.

Then there is no need to say who wins and who loses.

This time is no different.

On the face of it, whoever holds out for a long time will be able to win this war.

The rules are simple and straightforward.

Vega seems to have a showdown with Foster, so let's flip a coin and let God decide the final victory.

Because Foster's army could collapse at any moment, or it could hold out for two months, or even three months.

So Foster is also gambling, blocking all hope on luck.

Foster thus intensified his efforts to control the army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he fixed his eyes on Vega to prevent Vega from launching a surprise attack on him, as long as these two aspects were managed well, then in the end, both sides would be resigned to their fate.

But Foster was wrong.

Vega doesn't hitch his fate on whether the Imperial Army collapses, and unlike Foster, this time his eyes are on Foster at all, but on his millions of troops.

Just find a way to induce these millions of troops.

Then you can make the enemy collapse without a fight, and this is the true power of psychological warfare.

So how do you induce these millions of people?

Dealing with those who are hesitant and cutting off their retreat, they can only choose to move forward, which is the so-called last battle.

Dealing with desperate people, destroying their last hope, leaving them completely hopeless, this is called embattled.

And now the Imperial Army is in despair, but this despair is not complete, and they still have a hope in their hearts that they will be able to win without a fight when the ice and snow melt next year.

As long as this hope remains.

Then the empire will implement a high-pressure policy, and the backlash will not be so strong.

After all, if the ability to stand is alive, why bother to kneel to the Jialan Army and beg for mercy.

Therefore, in Vega's view, at this time, as long as he imitates the embattled enemy and makes the already desperate enemy completely desperate, he can also speed up their collapse, so that they can be in chaos and win without a fight.

Of course.

It's not that Vega really wants people to sing.

The so-called ever-changing and embattled core is to make desperate people completely desperate, so as long as you find this core to make a plan, the surface plan can be completely grasped for Vega.

The only luck left in the hearts of every soldier is that the Western countries have stepped on the Jialan Mountains.

In that case, if they were to know that the Western countries did not need them anymore, and that they were not going to help them when the snow melted the next year, they would surely fall into utter despair.

It's easy to say, but is it really that simple to do?

If it had been put before, it would have been a bit difficult to implement, after all, it would have been difficult to convince millions of people to believe that the Western countries had abandoned their empires and would not invade the East on time in the coming year.

But it just so happened that the other day, Meru Machete did a big favor.

He sent the alliance with the West, as well as the contract on how the empire would blow the wind after the war, along with the list of supplies and aid, to Vega, which gave Vega the confidence to completely collapse the imperial army.

It's all ironclad evidence.

With overwhelming evidence and rumors, Vega believes that it will be easy to detonate the Imperial Army.

The sequelae of the last high-pressure policy will inevitably rebound back this time with profits.

Therefore, Vega ordered the Minister of Intelligence to make a large number of copies of these contracts on the same day, and to find a way to get the spy and the 'smart soldiers' in the Imperial Army who thought they saw the big picture and were particularly angry about the high-handed policy, to get them to spread the word about it in the Imperial Army.

There is evidence to be found.

There are rumors, there are rumors.

If you want an internal water army, you have an internal water army, and if you want the imperial army, you will have tap water.

With almost all the favorable conditions occupied, this spark spread in a very short period of time, and because the Imperial army was too bloated, their top brass did not react immediately.

By the time the higher-ups found out, it was too late.

And Meru Scimitar, who was far away in the northwest, never dreamed that the few pieces of waste paper he used to show loyalty and make Vega think that he was loyal would actually be used by Vega as the key to turning the tide of the battle.
