Chapter 106 Unification of Thought
The presidents who were almost hoarse in their throats finally calmed down. Because of the venting just now, these people were a little calmer. So after hearing Matsumoto Masaki's words, they simply gave up and continued shouting, instead wanting to take a break and listen to Masaki's opinions by the way.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Matsumoto Masaki began to say in a very calm tone: "I know why you react so much, and I understand your emotions, but if you can calm down and think about it from my standpoint, you will find that I actually have a deeper understanding than you." Speaking of this, Masaki Masaki deliberately paused for a while, and the presidents of the Japanese guilds below really began to think about Masaki Masaki seriously.
Just as Matsumoto Masaki himself said, Masaki Masaki is undoubtedly one of the most vocal people for the losses caused to Japanese players by the Frost Rose League. As the first leader in the Sino-Japanese War, Masaki Masaki's experiences are unimaginable to ordinary players. Because of this, if you want to talk about hatred for Chinese players and Frost Rose League, Masaki Masaki is actually the one with the most vocal person.
After thinking through this, the presidents of the Japanese guild, which were originally emotional, finally calmed down. Although the human species is relatively poor in terms of physical condition, it is definitely a super strong presence on the earth. Therefore, as long as you calm down and think, and don’t be affected by the various hormones in your body and enter an emotional state, most people can actually show extraordinary wisdom. What’s more, since these people here can become the presidents of the guild, it means that they are at least outstanding than ordinary people. Therefore, after truly calming down, their brains finally began to turn, and most people quickly understood. As the person who fought the most with the Frost Rose Alliance, Matsumoto Masaga was able to propose such a proposal first, which itself shows that this proposal must be very operational. Otherwise, it would probably be Matsumoto Masaga himself who stood up to oppose it.
Since they understood that this plan should be feasible, the presidents began to really listen to Matsumoto Masaki's explanation seriously, and Masaki Masaki happened to start his own narrative at this time.
"You have learned the importance of magic technology to us before, so I will not repeat it here. The problem now is that our own technical strength has obviously lagged behind the research progress of Russia and the Frost Rose Alliance. Although it is not impossible to catch up with them by self-reliance, it requires a lot of capital and material support. Of course, we have ways to get these, but there is one thing we can't get. That's time. We are studying. The Frost Rose Alliance and the Russians are also studying. Although we successfully regained all the main Japanese islands except the fulcrum city in the previous war, many of our outer sea islands are actually under the occupation and control of the Chinese. Moreover, even if we have complete Japanese territory, what else can we do?
What is the meaning? How many times the area of China is ours? Although the game has a certain balance of resource reserves in various countries, it seems that our resources are much more than in reality, can our resources be compared with the Chinese? More importantly, the Frost Rose Alliance is not an isolated guild. It is a world-class large guild. It not only controls nearly one-third of the resource reserves of China, but more importantly, they have a large amount of resource mining areas all over the world. If these overseas resource points are understood as colonies, the Frost Rose Alliance is now like Britain back then, a real empire that never sets. But what about us? We are trapped in the isolated islands and can't even get out of the outer island chain. In this case, how can we compete with them for speed?"
Matsumoto Masaki's words made the presidents of the Japanese guilds below think, and some people frowned and began to worry about the future of Japan.
Masaga Matsumoto did not give them too much time to think, because if this continues, these people's thinking will become pessimistic. As mentioned before, people's emotions are controlled by hormones. Once a person falls into pessimistic emotions, he will not recover quickly, because it takes time for various hormones that cause sadness to circulate and metabolize in the body, which is also the reason why most people's emotions will not change too quickly. Of course, children's emotions change very quickly, which is related to their vigorous metabolism, and adults often find it difficult to have too much emotional fluctuations.
In order not to let these people get into pessimistic feelings, Matsumoto Masaga quickly continued: "So, although self-reliance is necessary, we must not just rely on our own research strength to climb slowly. In that case, we can't wait for this time without catching up with one problem. Therefore, plundering technical data and scientific researchers is a very direct and effective means. At the same time, this has also changed from multiple-choice questions to a must-answer question, because we don't have enough time and resources to compete with others. All we can rely on is the method of plundering technology from other places. Only in this way can we improve our research speed, move forward step by step, and even directly cross certain stages. Even if we can't catch up with the Frost Rose League for a while, at least we can ensure that we are in the same technical stage as them and will not be thrown away too far."
After Matsumoto Masato said this, a president of a Japanese guild suddenly raised his hand. After seeing it, Masato Masato signaled that he could speak. After seeing Masato Masato nodded, the president immediately spoke: "President Masato, I agree with your idea that we must rely on plunder to accelerate technological progress, but I still have some doubts."
"Please say. We need to have opinions and we can work together to come up with the most complete method."
The president said, "I have two doubts. First, I want to know why you directly ruled out softer methods such as buying or cooperating with others for technical exchanges. Second, that is, I am very confused. Even if I can only plunder, why can't we unite with Russian players to plunder the Frost Rose Alliance?"
As soon as the president's question came out, everyone started to nod. Obviously, this problem is a common problem because no one could understand these two points.
Matsumoto Masaga certainly knew that someone would ask this question. In fact, our guild's think tank had predicted this question in advance and made special preparations. Masaga Masaga said calmly: "First of all, I would like to thank President Yuan Tianhaoji for his question, because this is also the question I am about to explain to you.
I know that everyone is confused about this issue, so I will explain it to you. First, let me tell you why not use a more gentle method.
There are only two types of so-called gentle methods: one is to purchase, the other is to cooperate in development and then secretly learn other people's technology. Let's talk about this cooperative development first. If we are an organization like the Frost Rose Alliance, we can of course cooperate in development with others, because we have mastered the world's most advanced technology, and others will hope to cooperate with us. But unfortunately, we are not, and because we have just recovered from the crisis of national destruction, our technical foundation has almost been lost. In this case, we ask for cooperative development with others, although others may not be able to do so.
They will refuse directly, but do you think they will learn from us almost? Those skilled guilds may value our R&D personnel and investment and are willing to cooperate with us, but they must also know our purpose. What they can develop must be something they don’t care about or we can’t learn at all, and they will definitely pay special attention to us secretly learning technology in cooperation. Of course, we can indeed learn something in the process again. After all, as long as we develop together, no matter how much the other party is guarding, it is impossible to cover everything.
But have you ever had any relationship? What can we learn by relying on this kind of sneaky little move? Moreover, we have no technology to attract others, so we can only rely on the use of free labor and financial support to attract others to cooperate with us. But our funds and personnel are not too much to be used up? If we invest excessive personnel and funds to learn other people's technology, it will slow down our own research and development speed. In this way, whether what we learned from others can fill in the research progress lost due to cooperative development is still a question. Do you think this solution is worth adopting?"
The presidents of the Japanese guild below shook their heads together. Obviously they also understood that the success rate of this method depends entirely on luck, and even if it is successful, the effect will not be very good. It is a situation where the investment is large, the risk is high, and the return rate is extremely unstable. Even if the Japanese are more gambled, they will never participate in this kind of gambling that is obviously lost.
Matsumoto Masaga saw everyone shook his head and continued, "Let's talk about this purchase problem. The so-called purchase does not require money, but can be exchanged for other things. However, first of all, do we still have extra things to exchange for? All mining areas in Japan were basically destroyed when the Chinese were driven away before. Now production is less than 60% of the time being resumed. Moreover, the production capacity of these mining areas has not reached the normal production before. In other words, we are all in a state of economic crisis, and we are already living a life of tightening our belts. In this case, we have to exchange things for other people's technology. How much money or materials can we squeeze out?"
After asking, Matsumoto Masaga looked at the reaction of the people below, and waited for a while before continuing: "Okay, let's take a step back, even if we solve the money problem, who should we buy it? Those who master the technology are top guilds, and top guilds mean that they are not short of money. Therefore, although they may like our money, they don't care very much. In this case, it's the seller's market, and the price is completely open to others, and even if the price is negotiated. Do you think the other party will give us the most cutting-edge technology? The technology sold is either unimportant or outdated, which is almost certain. Do you think there is still a value for purchasing in this case?"
