Chapter 565 Kindness does not control the armyTo strike first, then strike at others, it is indeed an unbreakable truth !
The old saying echoed over and over in Igor's mind between the joy and fear.
With the existence of R'hllor's gift, he himself will never be recruited, that is to say, Varys' plan is destined to complete all goals impossible. But immune toxin does not mean Immortal Body, and not being poisoned to death does not mean invincible - even after thinking about it, Igor can't figure it out: If this amazing plan prepared by eunuch can be implemented on time, the princes of North and Petyr died of collective poisoning during a party in the Winterfell controlled by oneself...
Even if oneself is alive, what kind of divine operation should oneself use to clear the suspicion and pull strongly against a crazy tide properly Picking up the endgame with the entire North irreconcilable and estranged from the Daenerys?
That's far beyond the ability of oneself...or anyone else. Just thinking about it, I can't help but have goose bumps on my arms.
The opponent's actions not only started earlier, but also more carefully planned and concealed, and the feasibility is also higher. Even the pressure of the aftermath is much lighter... It is said that it is better than the director of oneself in every aspect. This big play is not an exaggeration, but just because the timing of the selection was so late, this is a good game of a top-level powerful player wherever he goes, and he was beaten by a slightly inferior means but decisive enough. oneself ——The flipping table was completely overturned in one fell swoop, and even myself turned into a wisp of Nether Soul in the long river of history!
……
Harvey obviously thought of this too. Before today, he just admired Igor's very ruthless determination, but when he learned that oneself was almost attacked by his opponent After becoming a victim of strong poison, it is really prostrate oneself in admiration to one's own Lord Commander.
"The adults are like gods, and the admiration of the subordinates is like..."
"Don't patronize the happiness and flattery." Igor glanced at the guard Captain— —As the helmsman, he can’t be as shocked and delighted as his subordinates. In the breath, he has gotten rid of his useless emotions and thought of a deeper problem: “From this matter, we should at least extend Aware of the existence of the two problems, have you ever reflected on it?"
"Well, the subordinates did not pay enough attention to the lower-level personnel of the Land Granter Army, so that they were infiltrated by outsiders without realizing it. Attention!"
Igor shook his head: "The direction is right, but the thinking is wrong, this is not your responsibility."
Even his oneself did not prevent this in advance, How can you blame your subordinates?
He can become the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, not only because oneself is very difficult to deal with, but also because of the scarcity of talents in the Wall defenders and the lack of competitors who can lead the way. Whether it is Night's Watch or the Land Granting Army, they have long been in a rather simple political environment that is either an enemy or a friend. It is unavoidable that such is human nature if they are negligent on issues that have never learned their lesson. This time, they are lucky - although they made a mistake, they didn't pay the price for this fatal negligence, but if they didn't learn their lesson, wouldn't they be no different from beasts?
"People's energy is limited, you are my bodyguard Captain, do your job well to protect my safety and complete the mission. Everyone has their own speciality, the environment of Seven Kingdoms is more complicated than beyond the wall and land grants There are many, and people are unpredictable. We must establish the intelligence and security departments as soon as possible. While the hard power is strong, we must ensure that the soft power is not a shortcoming. Take the time to draw up a rough list of personnel for the establishment of the department, and show it to me in the afternoon. "
Playing dead is so boring, find something to do. It's time to take it easy on political work.
"It makes sense." Harvey nodded, and began to think about which young men in the guards are more flexible and can be loaned out to form this new department, "What about the second point?"
"You're not using your brain?" Igor rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't really expect him to think of the next one, "That Micah would rather take poison and commit suicide than give anything, which caused us to accuse him and Varys' poisoning scheme is all about guesswork, aren't you just happy and not aware of it?"
"What else can you realize?"
"He wasn't even afraid of death, but why didn't he tell the truth and tell Varys? A man who is already dead, why maintain his status as a 'victim' instead of throwing the blame on him?"
"Maybe it's because you feel that no matter what you do, you can't escape the disaster. Just save your energy."
"No, it means that Varys' death does not mean that he belongs to the faction. The demise of Varys, there are still people behind him! The person who committed suicide by poisoning either wanted to protect the real mastermind out of loyalty, or was afraid to betray him - so he was reluctant to confess to Varys' plan, lest his identity be changed from ' The victimized Master of Whisperers 'turned into a 'traitor' Couldn't keep up with this leap of thought.
It's not that he couldn't understand, if it weren't for the huge information advantage brought by the identity of the transmigrator, even with Igor oneself's mind, it would be impossible to skip the intermediate steps to get the result of the final step directly. He knows the truth first, and then pretends to extrapolate it, which makes his vision of dive strategy and wonderful planning amazing.
Not only did he know that Varys had a mysterious opponent behind him, but he actually knew exactly who he was, his origins, and his purpose: Magister Illyrio Mopatis, the wealthy businessman of Free Cities "Pentos", who once protected him. The "good-hearted" of the exiled Targaryen siblings; Prince Aegon is probably not far off, if not his own son!
This guy is not only Queen's benefactor to some extent, but he can definitely guess that the real murderer is oneself... But he is far beyond a thousand li, Igor can't help him, nor can he convince Daenerys Unreasonably hostile to this person, most likely, he will take over Varys' Legacy later and become the biggest potential threat.
...
Harvey shook his head and stopped thinking about Igor's conclusion, anyway he had remembered one thing: whatever Lord Commander said and did, it must be correct.
"The Queen was furious over the prisoner's suicide, and ordered to find out the origin of this person and who was behind the scenes at all costs, but judging from the information that can be obtained so far, this matter is probably extremely difficult -- except that he "isn't. "We don't know anything about Mizedan, and we don't even know where he came from, and Varys' eunuch has no family or friends to ask about." Captain didn't know whether to cry or laugh summed up: "My lord, at first, planned to make this unsolved case, but the investigation did not follow the script at all. As a result, once the only suspect committed suicide, it still became a perfect unsolved case. It's really Gods. He is also helping us!"
Igor shrugged indifferently: "I can only say that I am really lucky, remember to cut off all the follow-up actions previously arranged, and destroy all the prepared perjury secretly. We've made this unsolved case, so don't make any extras."
"Understood." Harvey agreed, and then he remembered one more thing: "There's one more thing to ask for—about the kitchen smugglers who were killed by Yizedan. The person who bought it, is still in prison, how should he be punished?"
"All hanged on the Winterfell school grounds... No, if dragons are raised there, then hang on the castle Southern. The roadside outside the Great Gate, anyway, make sure the North nobles coming from the south can see it when they enter the city."
"Huh?" Harvey was startled, "but... There are as many as ten people. Isn’t it too exaggerated to do this for uncommitted crimes? It’s better to kill two key warn others from following bad examples, and the rest of the punishment will be rewarded as coolies, don’t waste it Population."
"An uncommitted crime?" Igor didn't expect oneself The bodyguard was able to pull out such a scrumptious word, and he was instantly happy. "Yes, it is an uncommitted crime, but Harvey, please answer a question for me: Do you think that the land-grant army is so strict and disciplined now that it is loyal because of the same ideals as me, or is it because I use my love to swear to follow it to the death? ?"
Harvey hesitated for a moment, and then gave the correct answer: "None of them, it is because of your kindness and force, forcibly subduing and coercing them to the south."
"Yes, gift The local army listen to my orders follow me south, not because of loyalty or love, but because they are afraid of me and subconsciously obey me, because they know that if they fight against me, they will really die. If I face collaborating with the enemy All soldiers must think carefully: whether this crime is not deserving of death, and whether there is a chance for transformation, then I will burn my head for dealing with the internal affairs of the army before I fight with the Queen to King's Landing." Igor put it down. With the soup bowl in his hand, he decided to brainwash this confidant: "It's true that the new land-grant people are our people, and it's true that the land-grant army is the comrade-in-arms who fought alongside us to defeat the Others, but being a hero who once saved mankind does not make sense. Change the fact that they are a bunch of savage mobs from beyond the wall. And what kind of beings are villains? That is - if you are gentle, they are wicked, on the contrary, if you are wicked, they will become Be obediently and honestly. Not only is it true to lead the army, but life is so realistic. You are my captain now, but there will always be a day in the future when you will jump out and lead the army alone, remember this: be kind, don't lead the army!"
