Where is their hometown? In the endless grasslands, in the boreal coniferous forests with towering ancient trees, in the majestic Caucasus Mountains...
If one word could be used to describe the environment in which these Russian soldiers grew up, it would be 'big'.
The world is naturally extremely vast, and they have no idea what it would be like to work in square fields all their lives with their backs to the sky, let alone a small, cramped, dark room that never sees the light of day.
No prisoner can endure more than three days in the small dark room. Three days is the limit. If it exceeds three days, these prisoners will definitely go crazy!
The unlucky Tsarist prisoners fell into the hands of their stepmothers. They did the tedious and detailed work that they couldn't bear the most. If they resisted at all, they would be locked up in a small dark room.
Released from the solitary cells, they will not be any better. The Chinese will not be kind enough to let them return to lumberyards, train stations, steel plants and other places where they work hard. These perverted Chinese will continue to torture them in various ways. .
Their willpower finally collapsed, and these Russian prisoners finally understood that if they wanted to survive in the hands of these Chinese, they could only choose to obey.
Are you going to pick leeks or be a mercenary? These prisoners of war have no choice!
Finally some people couldn't stand it anymore, and they began to ask the guards about the treatment of mercenaries. As long as they could escape from this hell, they would not hesitate, even if they broke their original oath of allegiance to the Tsar.
At this point, Sakamoto Ryoma felt at ease. He didn't expect that the strategy proposed by the head of state was so effective. It was like a cure-all!
Mr. Longma didn't know that Tsarist Russia was the Soviet Union in later generations. This once powerful country suffered a lot from this national characteristic in its final decline.
During the Soviet period, domestic economic development was seriously unbalanced. Heavy industry was strong but light industry was weak. Underneath the strong military industry lay fragile livelihood projects.
Compared with the world average at that time, the agriculture and light industry of the entire Soviet Union were very poor!
Of course there is the influence of high-level political tendencies here, but the national roots of all Russian ethnic groups are also one of the most important responsibilities.
Ethnic groups in alpine areas are inherently lazy. Think about it, half of the year is like winter, and people live like hibernating bears. Can we not be lazy in such an environment?
Even if they want to farm, there is no environment around them for them to farm!
The cold coupled with having nothing to do makes people here generally suffer from the social problem of alcoholism. They are lazy, greedy and alcoholic. Would you let a person with this kind of personality sit on the assembly line and do repetitive and efficient work day after day?
Lack of patience and meticulous psychology are the character of the entire nation, and this character will definitely affect the social economy.
Why is China's reform and opening up successful, and how can productivity be increased and released?
This is absolutely related to the demographic dividend, and the demographic dividend is not just about quantity! Quality is also very important. The Chinese people, nourished by thousands of years of farming civilization, have endurance and meticulousness that cannot be compared with the Tsarist Russian people!
In other words, the Chinese can do the job of screws, but the Tsarist Russians can only do the job of big oil hammers!
In fact, the national character can also be reflected in the products they produce. The industrial products produced in the Soviet period were all stupid, big, black, and thick. There was no problem with being strong and durable. However, if you say how fine they are, they would definitely not be able to achieve it!
So describing the Soviet Union as a polar bear is really an appropriate nickname!
From this perspective, it is inevitable that Europe and the United States will take the lead in developing integrated circuits and conducting miniaturization and high-precision design! Because polar bears are born with no heart for embroidery!
With the memories of his past life and the observation and analysis of this life, Xiao Letian feels that these Russian prisoners of war can still be reformed. As long as you can understand their character, you can pry open the iron plate of pride in their hearts!
It completely broke their emotions, made them feel hopeless, and left them with no choice!
What lumberyards, steel plants, coal mines, train stations...the work in these places may be considered strenuous drudgery in the eyes of the Han people, but for these Tsarist Russian prisoners, this is the easiest and best game!
Six thousand test subjects, in just over 20 days, tamed two thousand mercenaries who completely surrendered. Sakamoto Ryoma immediately organized and reorganized them, and then transported them to Luzon by ship!
On the sea, Sakamoto Ryoma made it clear to these prisoners of war that they all choose their own path in life. Do you want to go to the battlefield to kill the Spaniards? Or do you want to continue picking leeks in the kitchen?
The heads of all the prisoners of war shook like rattles, and everyone shouted in unison, "We want to kill! We want to kill! We don't want to cut leeks!"
good! Since you dare to kill people, that's fine, but you can't forget your identity as a prisoner of war!
Two Spanish heads, in exchange for your freedom. As long as you hand over the two heads, you are no longer prisoners in the legal sense, you are free mercenaries!
There will naturally be corresponding rewards for subsequent military exploits. Money and land are no problem. The Chinese are definitely not stingy. As long as you work hard, the commission you get in the end will be enough for you to eat, drink and have fun!
In the minds of these barbarians, killing is the most interesting game in the world, and hard work is hell!
In order to be free, these Russian prisoners of war risked their lives!
Time passed minute by minute, and there was a trace of fish belly white on the eastern horizon. It was already past five o'clock in the morning. General Enmu was completely stupid. He looked at the gaps in the battle line pierced by the arrows on the military map, and his expression changed. So pale!
"How could this happen? Didn't the battle line have been stabilized? Why were six holes penetrated in an instant?"
"How could the Tsarist Russians help the Chinese in the war? Didn't they swear to God to be loyal to the Tsar? How could they violate their oath before God?"
"Why? Why exactly..."
The people next to the general couldn't stand it any longer. They picked up the general and left, "Stop muttering, the enemy is close at hand. If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
"We have arranged warships at the port and will move to the south immediately. Manila cannot hold it any longer, so retreat quickly..."
"General, by now the governor has probably boarded the ship and escaped! Military means have been exhausted, so let's leave the rest to the diplomats!"
"This war is not our responsibility, it is the responsibility of the country! Who asked them to carry out a coup? So far, there is no king or queen, and Spain has no brain!"
"Madeira doesn't want a colony anymore, so why are we still working so hard? Let's go, let's go..."
General Enmu was dragged and put on a war horse, and a group of officers and soldiers fled southward. Behind them, black smoke billowed in the headquarters, and all the papers with writing on them were burned.
Enmu closed his eyes. He didn't dare to look at everything in front of him. The land in the northern suburbs of Manila was full of defeated troops as far as the eye could see!
