Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 911 - 910: Hesitation

Adjutant slowly got up from the ground, and this time, he did well; he didn't wet his pants. Deep inside, from the very marrow of his bones, he felt fear towards Jiang Cheng.

What does he want me to do, this alien? Is he thinking of having me lead these civilians to wipe out the remaining Long Warriors? But why go through so much trouble? If this alien acts himself, eradicating the remnants of Long Warriors on the Sek Planet is just a matter of time. Having seen his methods in buying off thousands of Long Warriors last time, the Adjutant believed that on this planet, or even on the Sek Planet where he lived, there would not be a more powerful presence than him. In fact, if this alien wished, he could completely destroy the Sek Planet.

The Adjutant is quite a clever person; he could also see that Jiang Cheng had expectations of him. For instance, today's distribution of supplies—this alien wanted him to have more prestige in front of these civilians, leading them better. At least, he did well today, but why does this alien behave this way? Sigh, better not think about it, he has been overwhelmed for so long, and he deserves a break.

There was no bed for the Adjutant in the residential area, but the weather was just right–neither cold nor hot–he decided to sleep clothed for the night. The Adjutant tossed and turned on his bed without a hint of sleep. Suddenly, a thought jumped into his mind.

He is an alien; with his abilities, he would definitely not stay on the Sek Planet for long, which means he absolutely won't become the ruler of the Sek Planet. Thinking of this, the Adjutant's heart skipped a beat. Then, when this alien leaves the Ke Planet, who will be the leader of this planet? Could it be...him?

Adjutant Tingtin sat up on his bed. The turmoil on the Sek Planet had continued for decades, and the civilians' lives were filled with suffering and hardship. Although they were in the same galaxy as the Sek Planet, the level of civilization was worlds apart. Compared to the Ke Planet, those people would likely dismiss the thought with a cold laugh. Indeed, comparing the Sek Planet with the Sek Planet would be an insult to the Sek Planet.

Compared to Aix Planet, which is similar in size, although the civilization level on Aix Planet wasn't high, the civilians there at least had enough to eat and live under a suppressive rule, but it wasn't as if they had to live in fear all day, unable to wear appropriate clothing or even lacking a decent city. They couldn't produce essential daily life items. Compared to the Ke Planet, the people of Aix Planet were almost crying with happiness.

The Adjutant didn't know that Hanke Planet's neighbor, Aix Planet, was the first stop of this alien's journey this time. The ruler of that planet, Charles I, had already been rectified by the alien and was made to establish three measures; the specifics need not be discussed here. In short, it allowed the civilians to live stable lives without daily fear, which is the most fundamental requirement.

If he were to assume the role of the ruler of the Ke Planet, the Adjutant was quite taken with the idea. He returned to bed, gazed at the sky full of stars, and couldn't help but think, if he were the ruler of the Sek Planet, the first step would be to extinguish the turmoil. It wouldn't necessarily have to be extinguished by fighting; it could also be through negotiations. Of course, it would depend on which team is worth negotiating with. Having mixed in the military for so long, the Adjutant was somewhat acquainted with the conditions of many troops. Some troops fought bravely, and the Long Warriors were somewhat brutal in their methods of fighting ceasefires, but some troops' Long Warriors were nothing less than the civilians' worst enemies, and if they killed ten people, nine of them would be civilians. Such troops and Long Warriors are certainly not worth negotiating with; obliterating them is the most correct choice.

Once the turmoil is extinguished, the next step should be to seek aid from the neighbors in Zhou District. If the Ke Planet promises assistance, that would be ideal; if not, at least persuade Charles I of Aix Planet to intervene. They might manage to provide some grain seeds or send some workers over to teach some skills to the people of the Sek Planet.

The Adjutant couldn't sleep out of excitement; many thoughts kept appearing in his mind. At that moment, he thought of Jiang Cheng; he felt Jiang Cheng was the most suitable and best listener he'd have.

In the morning, when Jiang Cheng woke up, he unexpectedly saw the Adjutant lingering outside his tent.

As he turned and saw Jiang Cheng approaching, he eagerly rubbed his hands and greeted him.

"Sir," he respectfully addressed Jiang Cheng, seemingly finding it difficult to think of this title. Unknown to Jiang Cheng, this was a habit the Adjutant retained from living on Ashek Planet.

Jiang Cheng raised his head, quietly waiting for the Adjutant to speak.

Seeing his excitement, Jiang Cheng felt a bit puzzled.

"Please assign me today's tasks, sir," the Adjutant requested.

"Do you still need me to tell you what to do?" Jiang Cheng replied indifferently.

The Adjutant paid no mind; faced with such a powerful being, he showed no hint of dissatisfaction.

"If sir permits, I wish to report my schedule today for your review. Please tell me if there's anything that needs revision. How does that sound?"

Jiang Cheng nodded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. When dealing with a clever yet sly fellow like him, one needs to be both soft and firm. If too soft, he might climb over your head, or dismiss you in his heart. Conversely, if too hard, it could dampen his enthusiasm and hurt his self-esteem.

A person who cannot exercise subjective initiative is unsuitable as a leader.

How to employ people, allowing subordinates to exert their capabilities and levels fully, willingly, while maintaining consistent enthusiasm is very important.

A good leader must have quite an in-depth understanding of their subordinates. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Jiang Cheng is a history enthusiast; he likes reading history books and has learned many things, gaining many insights.

There's a story in the history of the Hua Family District, which is about not fully understanding one's subordinates, leading to a disastrous defeat.

In ancient times in the Hua Family District, there was a Chancellor extremely skilled in employing warriors. His story is frequently mentioned in people's conversations there and often portrayed as the protagonist in novels, films, and television.

This Chancellor, during a battle with an opponent, for various reasons, found his troops in a passive state. When it was most crucial to use personnel, he discovered all his major generals had been dispatched, and at this moment, there was an important location needing defense.

During the Chancellor's dilemma, someone stepped forward, wishing to defend that crucial location.

The Chancellor was quite vexed because he knew this person, despite reading warrior books and speaking eloquently, truly had no practical talent, so he hesitated quite a bit.
