Chapter 176: Cult of Personality
"Oh?" Long Yi looked at Zhou Ping with interest, and asked with a playful look in his eyes, "Then do you have any good ideas?"
Zhou Ping pondered for a while, he did have a solution to this problem, but it was difficult to implement, and the final effect was not very high.
Just as Zhou was thinking calmly, Li Si slowly stood up.
The dragon dragon who was sitting in the first place looked at Li Si, who suddenly stood up, and he was also a little curious about what the second prince thought.
In fact, Long Yu added the second prince Li Si to this military council because of his identity, and never expected this second prince who had been suppressed by the crown prince Li Ze to come up with any valuable ideas, but since he had already stood up, why not let him talk about it.
"Old General Long, I have a plan to sharpen the sharpness of these geniuses!" Li Si said in a deep voice.
Long Yi smiled and nodded, "Second Highness, please say, Long Yi is willing to hear the details." ”
Li Si, whose face was a little pale, simply cleared his throat, and then said in a deep voice: "The five hundred students who participated in the Chang'an Student Army this time were determined by the vice president and the generals according to their strength, temperament, talent and many other aspects, and it can be said that they are the best students in Chang'an Immortal Academy, we have to grind away the sharpness of these students, that is, we are looking for someone stronger than them to hit them hard!"
"Establishing a powerful and insurmountable imaginary enemy for them can effectively promote the unity of the students of the Immortal Academy. In the face of a powerful enemy, if these arrogant students do not work together, they will only be beaten!"
"Through the common strong enemy, these students will be sharpened, and they will be encouraged to unite against the enemy, so that the Chang'an student army will become a strong and united collective in the shortest possible time! This is the concept of imaginary enemy that I want to propose!"
After saying this, everyone present looked at Li Si with shocked faces, especially Long Yi, who was sitting in the first place and had always looked up to Li Si too much, was even more shocked by his words.
Rubbing away the vigor of these students by means of constant suppression, and then forcing these students to put aside their pride and dignity and form a reliable united collective in a short period of time by shaping imaginary enemies! How could a worthless prince come up with such a pioneering plan?
It seems that this second prince has been hiding for so many years! This battlefield in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest is very likely to be the first step for him to rise up and pursue the crown prince!
When Zhou Ping heard Li Si's words, he suddenly opened his mouth, slowly stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, we only have seven days left before we set off, and it is simply unrealistic to train these arrogant students step by step, only to take strong medicine!"
"Shaping an imaginary enemy can indeed promote the unity of the Chang'an Student Army, but it is not enough to make the Chang'an Student Army a real army that can step on the battlefield, and I believe that the generals should know this best. ”
"Whether a unit can play a role on the battlefield or not, strength and unity are only one aspect, and the most important thing is the discipline of this army!"
If I were the commander in chief on the battlefield, I would rather have an ordinary army than an army of Chang'an students whose orders are difficult to issue and even more difficult to execute!"
"Zhou Ping is right. The military boss who had questioned Zhou Ping's strength before said in a deep voice: "If this army does not obey the orders of the commander when it arrives on the battlefield or is extremely procrastinating in carrying out orders, then what is the use of no matter how strong the strength of the team is?"
Long Yu pursed his lips and nodded, he had led soldiers for most of his life, how could he not know such an important point? But it was simply unrealistic to train these arrogant students into troops like an arm in just seven days.
"Since you've brought this up, do you have any solutions to this problem?"
Zhou Ping pondered for a moment, involuntarily glanced at the second prince Li Si, and then looked directly into the eyes of the dragon dragon, and said in a deep voice, "I know that it is impossible to train them to become soldiers in such a short period of time, and real soldiers are never trained overnight. ”
"Our idea is simple, but it is not easy to implement, and it is very likely that it will require some sacrifices from the Second Highness. ”
"Me?" Li Si looked at Zhou Ping in confusion, "Brother Zhou, what is your plan? If the plan is reasonable, then even if I make some sacrifices, there is nothing to ......."
Hearing Li Si say this, Long Yu also nodded at Zhou Ping, and said in a deep voice, "Put forward your plan first, if it doesn't work, we will think of another way." ”
Zhou Ping took a deep breath and slowly said a sentence.
"I want to establish a cult of personality in this Chang'an student army!"
"Personality cult thoughts?" The confused Li Si turned his head to look at the dragon dragon, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
"What you mean is that the Second Highness will be molded into the spiritual leader of this Chang'an student army during this period of time, as long as the students in this army can obey the orders of the Second Highness, then we only need to convey orders through the Second Highness on the battlefield!"
For this method of leading troops, Long Yi also heard for the first time, in fact, the phenomenon of personality cult in the army is not absent, just like some of his subordinates. But they were all soldiers first, and they formed this kind of affection for themselves after following them for many years. It was managed in this way when the troops were first built, and even the dragon snake had never made such an attempt.
"I know that this approach I am talking about is difficult to achieve, and even if it is realized, there will be many drawbacks in the future, but in the current situation, it is indeed the best approach. Zhou Ping said in a deep voice.
The audience suddenly fell silent, although Zhou Ping's plan can be regarded as a sword, but in terms of the short-term management of this army, there is indeed no better plan than this.
In the silence, the second prince Li Si slowly spoke, "I approve of Zhou Ping's plan, but I think that the person who came to lead the Chang'an Student Army should not be me, but Zhou Ping!"
"Zhou Ping, both in strength and fame, is much bigger than me, a down-and-out prince, and it is best for this team to be led by him!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Zhou Ping again, but the latter slowly shook his head, "Second Highness, believe me, you are definitely the most suitable candidate, if Second Highness hadn't joined the Immortal Academy Student Army, I wouldn't even have put forward this idea." Among the people present and even the entire Chang'an Student Army, except for His Royal Highness, he was not able to complete this plan. ”
