Xiang Ying looked at the crying Dragon Guards and couldn't help but straighten his back on horseback. He put his hands on his chest and performed a fist-holding ceremony.
"Good ambition! What a man!" Xiang Ying is an extremely arrogant person at heart, but today he said these words with conviction.
After a moment of silence, Monkey Taoist priest secretly wiped his tears, coughed twice and asked, "General, you are a scholar, and you are also a person who has traveled overseas and seen the aura of Europa..."
"I just want to ask you! Are the gadgets of our ancestors still useful? Will the Chinese civilization that the head of state has been talking about...will be destroyed?"
Xiang Ying said with a straight face, "Are you kidding! How could China possibly perish? You, us, and Chinese people all over the world have worked hard together. We have survived the ups and downs for thousands of years, so why can't we survive today?"
"What is the cause of the head of state leading us? Isn't it just to turn the tide!"
All the dragon guards nodded and said, "I understand, general. We believe in the head of state. If we don't believe in the head of state, we old guys will not come out...but I still want to ask you..."
"Are these gadgets left by our ancestors still useful? We really opened our eyes and saw how Europa fought..."
"My ancestors! The Prussians fired with a group of artillery, especially at night. The scene was simply earth-shattering!"
"We know your Zhiyuan better. The black muzzle is thicker than the Prussian cannon... How powerful is this!"
"With these things, does anyone still want our gadgets?"
Xiang Ying finally understood. These strange people have been shocked by the world-destroying power brought by human technology.
Industrial civilization dug out coal, iron and oil from the ground, and what it got in exchange was billowing black smoke and the power of turning mountains and seas!
The Monkey Taoist priest can hit wherever he wants with his hidden weapon of locust stone, and his light kung fu can almost violate the conclusions of physics!
But such a powerful person is as weak as a baby in front of heavy artillery clusters and millions of Mauser rifles!
Being frightened, even to the point of losing confidence, has become a nightmare for many Dragon Guards!
Xiang Ying sighed, "No wonder you all have a sense of sadness, anger and despair in your words. It turns out this is what happened..."
"Hey! When Meng Yuan went south, you couldn't win, so you lived in seclusion in the mountains and swore not to serve Meng Yuan... I know you didn't feel desperate at that time!"
"Because you know very well that barbarians do not have a hundred years of luck. You know that as long as you survive for a few generations, you can always succeed in revenge again. You have this confidence!"
"But now you are scared. It's not just this trip to Europa. In fact, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, you have already discovered that times are different!"
"Foreign guns and artillery are changing the pattern of war. You have found that your previous martial arts skills are no longer so useful. Facing the firepower of foreign guns and artillery, your previous confidence has disappeared!"
"I thought that the Qing Dynasty would survive for a hundred or two hundred years and then rise again! But I didn't expect that before the Qing Dynasty fell, we would encounter an era of great changes that had not been seen in three thousand years!"
Xiang Ying spoke to their hearts, and these Dragon Guards all bowed their heads and remained silent!
"Hahaha... don't be so downcast! The head of state has actually made his own judgment on this matter a long time ago!"
As soon as they heard that Xiao Letian had given instructions, everyone present raised their heads, "What did the head of state say..."
"Don't be unreasonable! Good things are always good things, and unique skills are always useful. It depends on how you think about it!"
"It's not that Jianghu martial arts are no longer useful in war, but that they are less useful on the frontal battlefield. But in special operations, you are too useful!"
"For example, in the previous battle in the Far East, the special operations infiltration team had to lurk in the snow for a long time to observe the enemy's movements, but no matter how we improved the thermal insulation technology, many soldiers were injured..."
"At this time, why don't you masters of the inner family come up with your unique skills and pass them on to your brothers! As far as I know, you really have some masters of the inner family who can survive the winter without wearing cotton-padded clothes..."
"A breath of Dantian Qi can make our soldiers lurk for two more hours, maybe it can change the situation of the war!"
"And our Navy, the current record for underwater breath holding is three minutes and twenty-five seconds. Can you think of a way to double this record?"
"Marines dive to infiltrate behind enemy lines. Every second counts!"
"You have countless methods of physical training. Why don't you communicate with each other and explore a method that can be widely promoted in the military?"
"Look, can you say that you are useless? If not, you can still go to the battlefield in person to perform some reconnaissance, assassination, blasting, arson... and other tasks!"
"Don't be so downcast. If your unique skills are of no use, why did the head of state form the Dragon Guard? Why did he put his own life and safety in your hands!"
"That's right!" After hearing what Xiang Ying said, everyone's expressions changed for the better. Otherwise, persuading people can also be harmful. Ordinary people's persuasion is of no use. However, the close disciple of Head of State Xiang Ying spoke up and tried to persuade him. These people can listen.
The truth is still the same. If you have a high status, your words will naturally have different weight.
At this point, Xiang Ying felt that he had to say a few more words to these people, "Seniors! There is something I can tell you in advance. In the future, the war will cease and peace will come... The head of state will launch an operation to let you... People are more useful!"
"What?" A group of people were all in awe!
Xiang Ying said in a low voice, "In the future, when the war is over, our Chinese people still have to maintain their martial spirit. So what should we do? The head of state will use his own money to hold a global competitive fighting competition!"
"Do you understand? Invite all the masters from all over the world, regardless of race or color...as long as they can fight, to have a fair fighting competition openly in front of people all over the world!"
"And there is a team competition in the name of the country! You are participating on behalf of a country! Bring glory to the country!"
"Who is the best and who is the coward? Let's see on the field! The winner will receive extremely generous bonuses, which can be said to be both fame and fortune!"
"Of course I know that all the seniors do not care about fame and fortune, but this kind of competition can maintain the martial spirit of the Chinese people. As long as the spirit becomes popular, more young people will be willing to learn the unique skills of our ancestors!"
"Wouldn't your skills be passed on to others?"
"Not only that, this kind of global competition is also a good opportunity to show off our Chinese martial arts... The head of state said that human beings cannot always rely on fighting and killing to resolve conflicts? Can we engage in some less intense confrontations to vent our anger? What about the violence in people’s minds?”
"That's why we have such a large-scale plan, the Global Fighting Competition... There are various competition modes including single competition and team competition. Every competition is like countries from all over the world coming together to fight a war!"
"What a great way to do this. You don't have to actually kill people, or you can let out all the war desires and violent emotions in human beings by killing just a few people!"
"As long as this emotion is vented, it will not be suppressed in society and increase the possibility of real war... You must carefully consider the painstaking efforts of the head of state!"
Hahaha... Monkey Taoist and other Dragon Guards all laughed like idiots. "Sure enough, we are still useful. Sure enough, we are still useful!"
"Long live the Führer! Long live the Führer!"
