Incredible, indescribable.
Li Tianlan still couldn't understand the full meaning of the knife, but just the part he understood during the conversation was enough to make his heart beat up.
The Palace of Reincarnation has no so-called foundation or headquarters. When it was first established, what she built was a true micro-society.
Li Tianlan looked down at the list in his hand.
This list is not long, but when it comes to a certain field, every name on it can be called a famous name.
Senior officials, generals, wealthy families, scholars, celebrities...
Everything you need.
These are the core personnel that military advisors can influence in their respective fields.
It's influence.
rather than control.
Ally mode...
Li Tianlan thought about these four words seriously, and for a moment he felt that the more he thought about it, the more interesting it would be. He looked at the list in his hand again, and after a long time, he nodded and said softly: "A genius' idea."
“The creativity is not great, the difficulty lies in the resources.”
The military advisor said calmly.
"You did very well."
Li Tianlan said slowly, his voice was very thick.
This is not a compliment.
But admiration.
"If I were you, I can't do it. I believe even Wang Tianzong can't do it."
"Because I am a military advisor."
The military advisor said solemnly: "I know my position very well, and I know what I want, and I know even more clearly that the sword does not belong to anyone."
He paused, shook his head, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "After so many years of trembling and walking on thin ice, hey... I'm really tired."
"Hard."
Li Tianlan's eyes wandered over the list in front of him, thinking about the so-called knife.
The military adviser said the difficulty lies in resources.
But he missed one thing.
Or quality.
That is absolute reason, or restraint.
For Li Tianlan, this is a problem, or in other words, he doesn't really like this so-called alliance model.
A behemoth that can indeed exert influence but is illusory and almost non-existent is different from a group and a country. It has no specific organizational structure. What can ensure the vitality of such an organization is never power, but restraint.
Li Tianlan couldn't evaluate who had the advantage between this model and the group for a while.
The people in the group are cohesive, have a clear stance, have an overall picture, and clearly understand the difference between advance and retreat. Everyone in the group can find a clear direction.
The alliance mode does not require these. This mode is extremely naked from the beginning, using each other, what can you give me, what can I give you, everything is clear, there is no so-called loyalty and position here. , some are just obligations, but this loose model can make a clear voice within each major group, forming a clearly visible force, and does not arouse too much vigilance. This is undoubtedly the most suitable model for the Palace of Reincarnation. .
As the hand holding the sword, the military counselor has only developed silently in the past many years, and has never tried to control any resources. For this reason, the range of influence that the sword can have is getting wider and wider, but it can only be said that Influence, not control.
This model cannot tolerate any ambition to control something by force.
Li Tianlan looked at the list in front of him.
This can be said to be the core of the knife.
The strategist cannot control them, but as an important ally of Dao, the strategist handed this list to him, which can already prove that he can exert great influence on these people on the list.
Li Tianlan did not deny the help these people could give him.
But he doesn't like this uncontrollable situation.
He cannot be as rational as a military advisor, so when he takes over this organization, in the process of power concentration, this power will inevitably shrink, and shrink to a considerable extent.
"I don't really like it."
Li Tianlan tapped the list in front of him and said bluntly: "There are too many uncertainties."
"I can understand."
The military advisor nodded: "But this is the best mode."
"How much control can you have over this organization?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I have not tried to control them. They are allies, not subordinates. Your Highness, in other words, this model is actually effective when applied to major groups. All members of the group, even Li, can be said to be members of the group. important allies, and the high-ranking officials they single-handedly promoted were their core circles. This circle had countless resources and interests, and eventually formed a larger and larger circle, first the allies, and then the core circle of allies. , and finally some areas that have been radiated, all of which add up to a group.”
"And there are six such groups, that is to say six circles, thus forming today's Central Continent."
The military advisor said helplessly.
"But this is not a syndicate."
Li Tianlan tapped the list: "This is the knife."
"It does not matter."
The military advisor gave a wry smile: "Each group is formed by numerous entanglements of interests, and after a long period of time, the tacit understanding of generations has finally been formed. The sword has clarified the obligations of each ally. It seems a bit naked and the structure is very loose, but We have shortened the process of forming a group many times. It looks different, but when it is put into operation, it plays the same role."
"What if I asked you to control as many resources as possible within the organization? How much can you control?"
Li Tianlan looked into the military advisor's eyes and asked slowly.
The military advisor looked at him seriously and was silent for a long time.
"I found someone to make a general model. Well, I found a lot of people, some sociologists, psychologists, financial experts, etc. This involves many things, finance, interpersonal relationships, psychology, politics, law ... This model has been made since you came out, but I only received a rough version not long ago. If I break down the structure of the knife now and start concentrating the power, we will probably need five to ten years. , with the full cooperation of wealthy groups to complete the transformation, we can ultimately retain about 3% to 5% of the organization's current strength. Even according to the most optimistic estimates, the power we can directly control will not exceed Seven percent.”
Li Tianlan was speechless.
He still can't understand the power of Dao, which requires specific operations to control Peeping Leopard. Naturally, he can't understand what 57% means.
All he knew was that the shrinkage was severe, shrinking dozens of times.
"Of course, even if it is five percent, the specific strength is roughly equivalent to more than 60% of the strength of the Northern Group. Well, I am referring to the Northern Group half a year ago."
The military advisor smiled and said.
"oh?"
Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows, his heart moved slightly, and he said slowly: "So you mean, the five percent you mentioned is equivalent to the power you can directly control now?"
"It's the influence."
The military advisor's voice was very reserved. He pointed to the list: "They are our allies. I respect them enough, and they respect me enough."
Li Tianlan picked up the list again.
Is this the five percent
He looked at the names above seriously, narrowed his eyes, and finally stopped at one name.
Zhou Yu.
Member of the North Central Continent City Council and Deputy Speaker.
This is Zhou Yunhai's nephew. To be more precise, he is the future successor of the Northern Group.
His significance to the Northern Group is equivalent to Wang Jingxin's significance to the Southeast Group, and Zou Yuanshan's significance to the wealthy group.
And now.
important ally.
Li Tianlan smiled and said calmly: "Five percent is not enough, and seven percent is not enough either."
"This is the limit of my ability."
The military advisor smiled and deliberately emphasized a certain word.
"Um?"
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
"But this may not be the palace
Lower the limit of ability. "
"In terms of business, I'm not as good as you."
Li Tianlan said casually, he has never been arrogant, but he will not belittle himself either. If it is just about martial arts talent, he does not think there is anyone in Central Continent or even the entire dark world who is worthy of being compared with him, but he runs a big force and manages everything. Be comprehensive in everything, be a qualified leader, and even be a talented and strategist...
He doesn't think he has this ability. He knows a lot about many things, but he can't be the opponent of those old foxes who have been immersed in them all year round. With his age and experience, it is even difficult to figure out the specific meaning of the knife. What's the point? Control
"This is not just a matter of operation and management. The sword has developed to this point. With operation and management alone, what you see in front of your Highness is already the limit."
The military advisor said calmly: "There are some things that I have that your Highness does not have, but similarly, there are some things that His Highness has that I don't have."
"for example?"
Li Tianlan rubbed the list in his hand.
"For example, a wealthy group."
The military advisor spoke meaningfully: "This is also a resource, and it is a resource that His Highness can fully control. The sword is an ally mode, and resources trump everything. Your Highness can fully control the wealthy group, and naturally he can use these resources to give our allies greater support." Support and even pave the way for them, and in return, they can give greater feedback to His Highness.”
"You are wrong. The resources of wealthy groups are not under my control. There are so many wealthy families, but there are always those who don't like me."
Li Tianlan smiled.
"Indeed."
The military advisor chuckled with deep meaning: "But aren't they disappearing now?"
Li Tianlan was slightly startled.
The voice of the military advisor continued: "Shuffling is the basis for the cooperation between the wealthy group and the Southeast Group. The Southeast Group temporarily adjusts its plan and lowers its position in Central Continent in the next few decades in order to stabilize the overall situation and eliminate the influence of Wang Qinglei on the Southeast Group. . The wealthy group also urgently needs to reshuffle, or even transform, and begin to centralize power from the previous loose structure. Simply put, the future of the Southeast Group is centered on Wang Shengxiao and Wang Jingxin. Anyone who does not agree with this will The wealthy group, with you and Zou Yuanshan at its core, will be purged out, and those who disagree with it will also be purged."
"This approach is equivalent to scraping the bones to cure the poison. Even if it succeeds, it will severely damage the vitality."
Li Tianlan frowned and said slowly.
"The Beihai Wang family has no choice but to compromise. In this case, it is better to take the opportunity to clean up some disobedient people. The group's strength will shrink, but the cohesion will be stronger."
"Although wealthy groups are also shrinking..."
The military advisor smiled and reached out to pat the list: "But our allies are enough to help us get through the weak stage."
Li Tianlan thought of the countless times that Northern Group had acted as a vanguard in the past six months.
I thought of Zhou Yu, the successor of Northern Group.
Thinking of the shrinking wealthy groups.
All this is just because a strategist is added to it, or an ally mode is added, everything becomes different.
"Tell me what you think."
Li Tianlan looked at the military advisor.
"I have no idea. You are not suitable to leave the desert prison now. Your appearance will only further intensify the conflicts within the wealthy group. It is not suitable for shuffling the cards."
The military advisor smiled and said: "And our allies are still looking forward to your growth. You need stronger persuasion to make them firm their position. The desert prison is very good. It is quiet here, enough for you to calm down and become better." To get stronger, think about Wang Tianzong. He is in the Wang family in Beihai and will not interfere in too many specific affairs, but with him around, the entire Beihai is very stable. Why? Because he is invincible. When a person is truly invincible, His intimidating power is no longer limited to martial arts. Only in that case can you control more of the power inside the sword."
"As for the outside world... everything is still under control. I hope that when you leave here, you will see a truly new world."
