Xiang Ying's tone was very low and his speaking speed was very slow. Xiao Letian knew that he was trying to calm down his emotions. During this period, Xiang Ying had been suppressed quite severely by him.
But Xiang Ying's thinking is still very sharp, and his perspective on problems is still as tricky as before!
"These people simply ignore the combat effectiveness bonus brought by technology!"
"Perhaps it's not that they ignore it, but that due to the influence of old ideas, they don't pay much attention to it, or they think it's not that important!"
"The universal compulsory military system will indeed lead to a decrease in the quality of the military supply. After all, there is a huge difference between soldiers who have been trained for one or two years and veterans who have been fighting for six or seven years!"
"But don't forget, at this moment the war has entered the era of all-round rifles, whether artillery or muskets!"
"The increase in shooting range has reduced the probability of soldiers fighting face to face. The psychological burden of pulling the trigger to kill a figure in the distance is completely different from that of disemboweling the enemy with a bayonet!"
"Modern warfare has lowered the psychological quality requirements of soldiers, which means that conscripts trained in batches actually have good combat effectiveness!"
"Not to mention the huge power of artillery, the god of war. Artillery can already help soldiers eliminate countless enemies before they charge! The pressure that recruits will encounter is far less than imagined!"
"The same goes for the railway network. Its high-intensity transportation capacity can continuously transport troops from the rear! What happened to the conscripts? Once there are more conscripts, the bravery of the group will defeat the lonely!"
"A good tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves! As long as the conscripts gather into charging groups, their morale will be very high even if they face veterans of hundreds of battles!"
"Last point! I'm afraid the world has underestimated Prussia's military training capabilities. During my years studying in Berlin, I once experienced Prussia's recruit training!"
"I can only describe it as cruel! The intensity of that kind of corporal punishment is completely unimaginable! People think that the corporal punishment in the Manchu camp was very cruel, but the difference between it and Prussia is completely unimaginable!"
"No mistakes will be forgiven. If you drag them out, you will be beaten with a military stick. No one is exempted. Even if you are the son of a noble, you will still be punished corporally!"
"The conscripts who were beaten with sticks made their obedience absolutely higher than the European average!"
"To put it bluntly, Prussian conscripts are not as weak as they thought!"
After Xiang Ying finished speaking, he put on his military cap and sat back in his seat. The officers around him whispered to each other and nodded in praise of Xiang Ying's analysis.
Xiao Letian looked at Xiang Ying with mixed feelings in his heart, "What a beautiful piece of jade! But it's just too brittle. It's just too brittle. Can't the pride in your heart tolerate any suppression?"
"With your bad temper, are you putting invisible pressure on me? My child, you are just too impatient, and your idea of changing the dynasty is too idealistic!"
"If it were really that easy to overthrow the Manchu Qing, Zeng Guofan would have done it long ago. Why would he have to wait for us?"
Xiao Letian nodded, "Very good, it seems you haven't been dawdling in your study abroad career!"
"When we come to Europe this time, we not only want to fight, but also learn the essence of war, and understand how war integrates with social ideas and kidnaps each other!"
"We must learn the essence of national war, but we must also beware of the sequelae of national war...To put it bluntly, Prussia's model really opened the door to hell!"
"Once Prussia defeats France, the whole world will wake up, and all nations that open their eyes will learn from Prussia in an all-round way and learn the military system under this nationalism!"
"All nation-states will realize that the outcome of victory in the war must override the will of all countries and people!"
"At that time, everything can be sacrificed for victory! The military has the highest authority, and the people have become coal in the oven of war. No one is immune!"
"In order to win, the military can control the country's economy, politics, public opinion, economy... All of this is acceptable!"
"In order to win, all citizens must participate in the war. Even those who cannot directly participate in the war must provide materials and production services for the war... All of this is acceptable!"
"This is the essence of the idea of total war, which is to tie the entire nation to the chariot of war, release the last bit of potential of the entire nation, and explode with huge destructive power to conquer the opponent!"
"Once that day comes, nationalism will have to change its name! I think it's also appropriate to call it militarism!"
"Today I will take you to experience for yourself the power of a real national war, and at the same time I will also let you see the huge destructive power of this war!"
"How to subdue this fierce horse will be a question that all of us Chinese will ponder over the next hundred years!"
"You must remember that you cannot rely on me on this issue, because I cannot live long, or even live to be a hundred years old!"
"I hope it's among you and your descendants!"
"Today's meeting ends here. Go back to your troops immediately and prepare to leave immediately. The special train will set off at twelve o'clock tonight!"
"The meeting is dismissed...Cai Bixia stays!"
People stood at attention and faced the head of state, and then left the conference room in confusion. Only Cai Bixia and Xiao Letian were left here.
Xiao Letian lit a cigarette and smoked silently by the window without saying a word. Cai Bixia knew from this gesture that the master had something to say privately.
She walked over and opened the window to get some air. "Master, you'd better smoke less. I've asked many doctors, and they said that although tobacco can eliminate malaria and refresh the mind, smoking too much will make you cough..."
Cough cough cough... Xiao Letian coughed a few times and smiled bitterly, "I know the harm of tobacco better than you... Forget it, let's not talk about it. How is Xiang Ying doing during this time?"
When Xiang Ying was mentioned, Cai Bixia's eyes suddenly became red and swollen. "Master...the last words you just said were directed at Xiang Ying, right?"
Xiao Letian sighed, "So what? Can he understand it? Can you stormtroopers understand it?"
"I'm really afraid that you people will lead the Chinese people into the abyss of militarism!"
