Chapter 259 The plan discussed by the two
The ale was bought from the Calradia continent in the world of Mount & Blade, and came to Dhrim in the current Blue Star world through trade.
It has a mellow taste, with an aroma of malt, and is extremely sweet in the mouth. Coupled with the slightly fermented process, it suddenly has a taste that is a combination of mead and beer that is quite intoxicating.
It can even be said that even the current Blue Star world, or even the previous Blue Star world.
There is no way to compare with today's malt liquor.
After all, although the malt liquor in modern industrial society tastes good, and the various production processes and tastes are extremely standard, it is still not as unique in flavor as the pure craftsmanship of handmade.
Therefore, for the Blue Star humans in Dehrim now, being able to drink such a uniquely flavored handmade malt liquor is quite a pleasant thing. Moreover, as they have integrated into the power of rules, they have also begun to break away from their identity as Blue Star humans. Being able to drink this malt liquor that contains the power of rules is also a boost for them.
And the most important thing is that those liquors or beers that taste like chewing wax and have no power of rules at all, and locally produced malt liquors, can no longer stimulate their souls.
They can't even feel the alcohol when they drink it.
They don't even have the feeling of being tipsy after being drunk, which means that they can no longer adapt to the native alcohol in the Blue Star world.
This is not surprising. After all, they now have souls, and their souls have dominated their bodies, instead of the original Blue Star humans using various hormones to control their bodies.
The soul level is already something quite boastful. If the alcohol cannot stimulate their souls, then even if it stimulates their bodies, they will not be able to feel it. Although the humans on Blue Star and the humans in the Spirit World look very similar, and even have the same structure, in essence, the humans on Blue Star still rely on hormones to control the body, while the humans in the Spirit World rely on the soul to control the body.
Hormones are all secreted by the body itself, and then used by the brain for thinking and control.
But the soul is different and more wonderful.
But these are all off-topic. For Zhang Caidong and Zhang Bo, drinking malt liquor and eating food with the power of rules, the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation with each other, especially since there was roasted lamb among these foods. For them, it was as comfortable as drinking beer and eating barbecue at home.
"Brother Bo, what's going on? I always feel that although you have revealed the remnants of the diesel company today, you still have some reservations and didn't say much about some things." Zhang Caidong took the initiative to ask after clinking glasses with Zhang Bo.
"Did you also notice that I was holding back? That's right, because you're the only one I really trust." Zhang Bo smiled and looked at Zhang Caidong seriously: "Let the senior managers investigate the middle managers, and you don't have to get involved. If something really happens, you can push all the responsibility onto the senior managers, otherwise it will be very troublesome for you as a senior executive."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Caidong looked at Zhang Bo staring at him seriously with a slightly happy look, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Purge is certain, execution is certain, the conflicts between the senior management and the middle management are basically irreconcilable, you should be able to see that their conflicts have become more and more acute recently." Zhang Bo took a sip of malt liquor, his face was full of regret, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "It's impossible to stop them, and Lord Shen Mu also said that the remnants of the diesel company are hiding among the middle managers, so they will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and I'm afraid that I can't stop it, so I only trust you."
“But if things reach a stage where they cannot be reversed, even I won’t be able to stop it.” Zhang Caidong sighed.
Before, those senior managers had forced him to abdicate. Although it seemed that he had resolved this situation, a force had already formed among those senior managers because they wanted to deal with an enemy.
If he cannot satisfy these senior managers and has to get rid of those middle-level managers, it will be like a double-edged sword, and they will definitely attack him again in the end.
It is hard to say whether the next palace coup can be resolved so quickly. At least Zhang Caidong himself is still frightened. He feels a little scared just thinking about it. If those guys really succeed in forcing the emperor to abdicate, then his authority as the chief steward will definitely be severely weakened.
When the time comes and I want to do something else, I will be sidelined by these senior managers.
Once he is sidelined by these senior managers, he, as the general manager, will really be a lamb to be slaughtered.
After all, power is something you can only eat, not spit out.
Those humans on Blue Star have formed small groups, and have tasted the huge benefits of joining forces from each of these small groups.
If you stand against them at that time, it means you are standing against a group of interests and you will be severely crushed.
So Zhang Caidong doesn't want to do this.
But now looking at Zhang Bo, his face became more and more helpless: "Brother Bo, this matter is really a bit troublesome. Those senior managers have actually wanted to kill those middle-level managers. I am only restricting them to provide me with a list for me to review and follow the previous process. I can only strictly restrict their behavior within the process and prevent them from breaking out of the process, otherwise it will be out of control."
"Is the situation so critical now?" Zhang Bo looked up at Zhang Caidong in surprise, as if he had not expected this, and frowned: "A massacre? Those senior managers are not going to massacre those middle-level managers, right?"
"What do you think, Brother Bo? These senior managers are like crazy now." Zhang Caidong smiled bitterly. Because he was relatively close to these senior managers, he knew very well how angry and furious these senior managers were at these middle-level managers who were challenging their authority and were about to undermine them.
In particular, these senior managers also realized that as they all became commanders of the spirit world, they all had human soldiers from the spirit world as their followers.
They all started fighting in front of the undead monster.
Let their spiritual world human soldiers become stronger and stronger, so that they can improve their own ranks and the ranks of their followers in the eyes of Lord Shen Mu. These actions, these moves, these situations make these senior managers deeply fearful and worried. After all, they are now standing on the same starting line. The number of middle-level managers is increasing, and the low-level soldiers under their command have not completely opened up enough distance.
If those middle-level managers turn the spiritual world human soldiers under their command into soldiers of the same level as themselves, then what use will they, the senior managers, have other than a false title?
Although false reputation can bring some honor and face, in terms of real power, these middle-level managers who simply do not listen to their commands can directly sideline them and will no longer pay attention to them.
Even these middle-level managers themselves formed small circles, and then formed larger circles, and then let these larger circles directly manage the lower levels, and put these senior managers on a high pedestal. If there is any problem, they will discuss it among themselves. By then, it is really uncertain whether there will still be room for these senior managers to survive in Dehrim.
After all, if there is any problem, these middle-level managers will contact the lower levels and solve it directly.
If Shen Mu issues any orders, these senior managers cannot do it themselves, and they need to contact a group of middle-level managers and lower-level managers to do the work for them.
They have been sidelined, so what should they do? They don't need to say anything.
Even if they are very angry at that time, there will be nothing they can do, because they have been sidelined. In the future, whether it is the upgrade of human soldiers or the acquisition of combat experience by human soldiers, they will be squeezed out by the middle-level managers and others, and they will be squeezed to weaker positions, or even put under house arrest and not allowed to upgrade at all.
Gradually, these senior managers were completely unable to defeat the middle-level managers and lost their military threat.
Then it's all over.
In fact, even Zhang Caidong was worried about this situation. After all, he knew very well that if he was really sidelined, then his position as chief steward would be nothing more than a chief steward in name only.
Zhang Caidong also doesn't want to be sidelined.
So he told Zhang Bo about the current situation and some of the things he knew.
"It seems that there is really a bit of trouble." Zhang Bo nodded, but in his heart, he was still in a very happy mood, especially after knowing the current situation, he remained calm, but he also understood in his heart that the time had really come, and the details of his plan were really perfect.
"Brother Caidong, can you still command those senior management now?" Zhang Bo asked at this time.
"Okay, now they haven't broken off relations with me, and they don't dare to have a direct conflict with me." Zhang Caidong also sighed at this time, his face looked helpless.
After all, although those people have not torn their faces with him, nor have they had conflicts with him, if he stands on the opposite side of them, this conflict will definitely occur, and it will completely tear their faces and overturn the table. If the other party ignores him, it will be like the middle-level managers ignoring them, the senior managers, and marginalizing him.
"In the past, I always schemed against others, but now others have started to scheme against me. It's a bit difficult to be the top leader." Zhang Caidong smiled bitterly.
"Okay, okay, brother Caidong, I understand everything, but let them fight among themselves and don't interfere. In fact, I also plan to let them take action, because Lord Shen Mu also told me that he is not sure how many remnants of the Diesel Company there are. But you have to know that at that time, the Diesel Company had the ability to summon an abyss rift." Zhang Bo spoke slowly to Zhang Caidong with a serious expression in his tone.
"The abyss crack, I know it. Xue Zhigang, the general manager of the diesel company, mentioned it to me at that time." Zhang Caidong was slightly stunned, and nodded as if he suddenly realized something.
"Huh? Xue Zhigang told you about it." Just as Zhang Caidong nodded, Zhang Bo frowned slightly and looked up at Zhang Caidong.
Zhang Bo did not say much, because he knew that summoning the Abyss Legion from the Abyss Crack actually depended on his magic crystal ball. If Zhang Caidong knew, then the details of the plan he wanted to carry out would be a bit off, and he had to handle it with caution.
"He told me about it. After all, this is also a trump card of the Diesel Company." Zhang Caidong was slightly stunned at this time. Seeing Zhang Bo's eyes staring directly at him, he quickly explained: "Zhang Caidong told me at that time, but I don't know the details. After all, although I seem to be in a high position, in fact, Xue Zhigang controls everything himself. Brother Bo, I am not a remnant of the Diesel Company. After all, I was the one who destroyed this company as a spy."
Zhang Caidong thought that Zhang Bo was looking at him as if he was also suspected of being a remnant of the diesel company, so he couldn't help but explain quickly.
However, for Zhang Bo, seeing his current appearance, he understood that he did not know the real details and did not know that it was actually him who used the magic crystal ball to summon out the abyss crack.
So he nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Caidong, I will definitely not doubt you. No matter what, you are deeply trusted in my heart. Even if I suspect others are the remnants of the diesel company, I will never suspect you."
"That's right. Now everyone is masturbating. I don't want to have anything to do with the remnants of the diesel company. That would be shit anyway." Zhang Caidong sighed.
If he was suspected of being a remnant of the diesel company, he would have to prove himself even as the general manager, which would be troublesome and might even lead to a decline in his trustworthiness.
"So what should we do next?" Zhang Caidong changed the subject directly. He didn't want to continue discussing this topic in depth.
"There's nothing else to do. Just let the senior managers draw up a list themselves, and then ignite a small-scale conflict. Anyway, these senior and middle managers will definitely fight among themselves by then, so don't get involved. No matter what happens, just stay in your room and let them deal with it themselves." Zhang Bo finally stated his purpose: "Anyway, we don't have any external enemies now, so let them fight. When the time comes, we can sit on the mountain and watch the fight to see who jumps the most happily. Maybe it's the remnants of the diesel company. If we can lure out more remnants of the diesel company, maybe we will have done a good job."
"That makes sense." Zhang Caidong nodded and said thoughtfully, "That's right. Whoever dances the most must be the remnant of the diesel company. They just want to cause internal fighting among us."
