Xiao Letian's worry was somewhat teasing. Of course he knew how self-disciplined the brothers he had brought out were. The new Chinese army was most taboo with women. Xiao Letian could even tolerate his men making a small war fortune, but he didn't Adultery is allowed.
This is what an iron army should look like. It is okay to be greedy for merit, and it is tolerated to be greedy for money, but it is absolutely not allowed to be greedy for sex... Because the area that the new army will rule in the future is East Asia, which has been nourished by Confucian spirit for thousands of years, and adultery is considered a crime. is the worst sin.
Simple and kind-hearted people can tolerate harsh laws and high taxes. They can eat the lowest quality food three times a day. They can tolerate these but there is one thing they cannot tolerate, and that is adultery!
It is not that the New Army has never made such mistakes in the process of building the army. Xiao Letian clearly remembers three times in which the New Army raped women.
Xiao Letian had zero tolerance for this kind of behavior. There was only one word of "shoot to death", and it could not be offset by military exploits. It was the three bloody corpses that shocked the entire army. From then on, no one, including the officers, could challenge his bottom line.
In fact, Xiao Letian can't guarantee that all the new troops are saints. His subordinates also secretly make some war fortune, such as hoarding some military supplies in advance, and then doing some spending on the seizures after the victory to earn some pocket money for the brothers. money.
Xiao Letian would tolerate these things as long as they were not excessive. After all, this was about making money based on one's ability and not competing for the benefit of the people.
But there are certain bottom lines that must not be touched. Military adultery is tantamount to treason in Xiao Letian's eyes. This kind of crime is completely heinous.
Xiao Letian once said more than once, "The highest salary in Asia has been offered. As long as you work hard, who will not have a good life in the future? And the Chinese have not abolished polygamy. They have money and status. How many wives do they want to marry?" It's all your freedom..."
"But it's not good to use force. This kind of behavior can only attract people's rebuke, and can only destroy the good image we have finally established. I have only three words to treat this kind of absolute behavior... that is... …Kill without mercy!”
No one dares to challenge the bottom line of the head of state, and Xiao Letian also requires all officers to set an example. I don’t care if you have eighteen wives at home, but if you do this kind of thing while wearing a military uniform, then what awaits you will definitely be aggravated crime. .
Rules that were so harsh that they were almost puritanical shaped the noble character of the new Chinese army, especially these officers who were self-disciplined to the point of being cruel.
At the luncheon, the European ladies, who were like butterflies, all cast their curious eyes on these handsome Eastern warriors. There were already several secret glances, and some bold and proactive women even took the initiative to look for them with wine glasses in their hands. These officers struck up a conversation.
Especially second-generation officers such as Xiang Ying. They are younger and have studied in Europe. Their language and cultural differences are very small, so they are even more pursued and intercepted by these European ladies.
I have to say that Europe is still open. Those men watched their wives and mistresses actively teasing these Chinese officers, but no one came out to stop them. They even looked at many of these Chinese with teasing eyes.
Xiao Letian watched coldly for a long time, and finally nodded secretly in his heart and praised, "Yes, he is my soldier! He is polite but never excessive. He follows the rules very well. He does not appear rude but also maintains a vague sense of distance. It's really awesome." I have a long face..."
At this moment, Prince Edward's voice suddenly sounded next to Xiao Letian, "Your men seem a little reserved? These are the most powerful ladies in Europe, but I don't think your men seem to care much... "
Xiao Letian looked back and saw that it was Prince Edward. He raised his champagne glass and toasted to the prince, "This is the self-discipline of us Orientals. We have different moral values from the Europeans. We still shy away from women..."
"Haha..." Edward couldn't help laughing. "You can't say that. Look at His Majesty the Tongzhi Emperor. He is more liberal than you. His Majesty's interest in women is no worse than that of us Europeans..."
When Xiao Letian saw this, he sighed in his heart. This is really hard to change the nature of a country. At this moment, Zai Chun was surrounded by four European little princesses aged 17 or 18, and he didn't know which royal family member he belonged to.
Zai Chun's smiling face blossomed. Not only was he teasing with the four little princesses, but his eyes were still rolling back and forth on those mature women wearing flower and butterfly clothes.
Xiao Letian smiled slightly, "Your Majesty is still very young and has a child's mind. You can't describe a thirteen-year-old child with such words. Maybe your Majesty is just curious about the banquet style in Europe! In Asia, there are free and open banquets like this." There is no lunch party..."
"In Asia, there are countless etiquettes for the banquets of dignitaries from various countries. It is rare to have such an atmosphere. It is inevitable that your Majesty's first attempt will be a bit novel..."
Of course Prince Edward would not argue with Xiao Letian on such a trivial matter. "You are right, Your Majesty the Head of State... I see that you have been drinking. Are these dishes not to your taste? Come and try these Spanish raw ham slices." , the taste is very unique...”
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Letian's attention was not on the food. When the prince reminded him, he felt a little hungry. Looking at the delicious food in front of Ling Lang, he really felt like he had no idea what to eat.
At this moment, a sweet female voice sounded behind Xiao Letian, and Fang Guan said in fluent English, "It is said that Chinese cuisine is broad and profound. In fact, European cuisine is also very particular, such as the Spanish ham in front of the head of state... "
Fangguan smiled sweetly at Prince Edward and automatically became Xiao Letian's commentator. "The main reason why Spanish ham is precious and delicious is that it comes from Iberia. Iberian black-hoofed pigs are the happiest in the world." , leisurely pigs, thus producing the best and most expensive hams in the world. They are naturally raised, eat wild acorns, drink mineral water, and have dedicated people to run with them on the prairie and lose weight. Feeding like this The pig fat also becomes clean and transparent..."
"During the entire brewing process, sea salt is the only additive. There is neither smoke nor other spices. The cured ham is left to dry and mature naturally in a ventilated place. During this mysterious period Over time, wonderful changes occur inside the ham. As spring approaches and the temperature slowly rises, the fat of the ham begins to melt slowly, and the unique aroma of Spanish ham gradually appears. Just like wine brewed in oak barrels, at this time Ripening has begun. The longer the ham is stored, the softer the meat will be and the richer the aroma..."
“The top quality Hamon comes from a small Spanish village called Jabugo. People who love raw ham will be yearning for it no matter what if they hear this name... Come and try it, you will definitely feel the fat melting in your mouth. Of course you can’t eat ham with champagne, you’d better have a glass of sherry bar…”
Prince Edward's eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, beautiful angel, you are really an expert in gourmet food. Your knowledge is even richer than mine..."
