So far, Yang Lu's gang has a total of twenty-four people.
Although Yang Lu’s gang members are invincible in foreign battlefields, and as teammates cooperate more and more tacitly, the team’s combat effectiveness and combat experience are rapidly improving, but so far, everyone still cannot guess Yang Lu’s true purpose of forming a team
.
No one could have imagined that the ultimate goal of this team is actually to rescue Li Qingning.
Therefore, from the perspective of ordinary members of Yang Lu's team, there is no need for him to make the team so big.
Especially senior members of the team such as Rong Cheng and Xi Ziang clearly felt that the team's operational efficiency began to gradually decline after the total number of people exceeded ten.
Although adding more new members can still increase the speed of the team's killing and stealing goods, if the excess income is evenly distributed to everyone, the per capita marginal rate of return has already declined significantly. Continuing to recruit new people into the team will obviously have
Begins to harm the interests of older team members.
At present, the optimal solution for this team is not to continue to expand its scale, but to optimize and lay off employees.
Although everyone is slowly becoming aware of this problem, no one dares to expose the truth. After all, layoffs in foreign battlefields is equivalent to selecting some team members for elimination. No one can guarantee that they are not the unlucky ones who have been optimized.
ghost.
Because of this, seeing that Yang Lu was still adding people to the team, the others only dared to persuade Yang Lu on the side, reminding him that the team already had enough members, but no one dared to say the word "layoffs" openly.
Come out, if you dare to mention layoffs, then there is a high probability that you will be the first to be laid off!
In addition, everyone has realized that the thing that Consultant Yang hates the most is others giving him opinions. There was already a reckless guy who was directly expelled from the team by Yang Lu because he gave too many opinions.
And those who are fired will naturally end up becoming the merits of other members.
Logically speaking, everyone should sympathize with the unlucky guy who was sentenced to death by Yang Lu as they were all downgraded people in the world. But in fact, when most of the old team members saw someone making a mistake and being expelled, their first reaction was actually:
Finally, there is one less person grabbing food from his own bowl!
From that time on, the entire team slowly developed a culture of reporting each other.
Since the more people in the team, the less benefits one gets, and Consultant Yang doesn’t allow everyone to give opinions, then let’s see who made mistakes and find a way to report them, right?
What's more, most of the old members of the team have been allocated a lot of property in previous hunting operations. They are richer than the newly caught fat sheep. There is no need for everyone to work hard to catch these guys and divide the fields among the local tyrants.
, for the remaining team members, that is undoubtedly a benefit!
This is why, when a new member of the team tries to instigate everyone to rebel, the old team member immediately reports back, making the other party the first unlucky person to be used as a warning to the monkeys for attempting to rebel. Then there was Xi Ziang.
Crying and shouting, she ran to Yang Lu to confess, and said that her ancestor was Xi Jinhu, the editor-in-chief of "Xiu Zhen Financial Weekly".
It is precisely because of this wave of whistle-blowing that started at an unknown time that no one in the entire team dares to do things secretly anymore. Now everyone is as loyal to Consultant Yang as they are to one another.
At least that’s what it seems on the surface!
The only problem is that there are too many people who know that Xi Ziang is plotting a rebellion. Just as Xi Ziang himself expected, Yang Lu received seven or eight reports one after another, all of which accused Xi Ziang of plotting evil and asked Yang Lu to
He was kicked out of the team.
Xi Zi'ang was both a second-generation immortal and a rare illusionist. He was considered a very important united front target for Yang Lu's team. Yang Lu did not want to sacrifice him as cannon fodder to scare the monkeys.
In order to find an excuse for him, Yang Lu could only lie that Xi Ziang was an undercover agent arranged by himself, specifically to test whether everyone was loyal to the team.
This lie is full of loopholes and cannot withstand scrutiny.
Especially Rong Cheng, who witnessed the entire process of Xi Ziang's rebellion, was 100% sure that Xi Ziang had never known Yang Lu before, let alone being an undercover agent.
However, Yang Lu's status in the team is no less than that of the emperor in "The Emperor's New Clothes". No matter how nonsense he talks, no one dares to stand up and correct him.
If anyone dares to stand up and correct Advisor Yang, without Yang Lu himself having to say anything, someone else will definitely come forward and propose expelling this traitor who undermines unity from the team.
After seeing Yang Lu take the initiative to excuse himself, Xi Ziang felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately said that in the future, whoever dares to question the great leader, Consultant Yang, and whoever dares to say that our Consultant Yang is talking nonsense, Xi Ziang will be the first to refuse!
Even the rebellious activists in Yang Lu's team have become such a bastard, not to mention early vested interests such as Rong Cheng and Yang Chenglong, who chose to lie down completely early on.
Gradually, the internal ideological trend of this criminal gang on the foreign battlefield inevitably changed.
From the beginning, everyone was generally dissatisfied. Later, everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Later, everyone no longer had any evil thoughts except "Ah, yes, yes, yes."
As the reporting trend within the team intensified, even "You are not loyal enough to Consultant Yang" and "Incomplete loyalty equals complete disloyalty" have become crimes that can be reported.
Faced with this situation, Yang Lu is like a master of balancing skills. Instead of stopping this unhealthy trend of reporting and exposing each other, he secretly fuels the flames by giving rewards to those who are loyal to him and rewards to those who are disloyal.
The method of punishment manipulates the psychology of team members in real time.
For example, most of the time, Yang Lu's attitude towards those who are disloyal is very harsh, ranging from letting Ye Chen receive corporal punishment to being directly sentenced to death. However, when facing a more important member like Xi Ziang,
He will show his kindness from time to time and extend some small favors to team members.
These team members who were "pardoned" by Yang Lu did not realize that the reason why they "committed crimes" was because the high-pressure policy implemented by Yang Lu was too harsh and he subjected them to high-intensity PUA all the time.
What Yang Lu did was actually just take away what they already had and then give it to them as a reward.
From the perspective of these team members who were "pardoned" by Yang Lu, if not for Consultant Yang's "extra-legal mercy", they would have been killed by other angry whistleblowers.
How can we not feel grateful after all this time and again?
With this layer of fan filter, even the various high-pressure policies formulated by Yang Lu seem to be reasonable.
Things like "Consultant Yang made these rules for the good of the team", "If there were not such strict rules, this team would have disbanded long ago", "Even if we don't understand some of Consultant Yang's orders, it must be that he is playing a big game."
", and the comments "The extraterritorial battlefield is not sealed, if you think our team is not good, you can always find a chance to escape", gradually became popular in the team.
