From ancient times to the present, how to ensure the morale and combat effectiveness of the army has been a big problem!
There are only two kinds of prescriptions for this problem from ancient times to the present. One is monetary incentives, such as high military salaries, or even robberies by bandits and nomads. Those trophies can also be regarded as monetary rewards!
Some people may say that there is also a knighthood and military merit! Of course, there is nothing wrong. Titles and military merits can also inspire soldiers to fight bravely, but after obtaining titles and military merits, the purpose is to enjoy them!
It's nothing more than the difference between money being a short-term stimulus and a title being a long-term stimulus!
What if you don’t have the money to motivate your military? The second method is hatred!
The hatred between family and country! If thousands of households in a village are plundered by bandits, the wealthy family with the same surname will gather their family strength to form an army and build a fortress!
Using family blood relations as a bond is the easiest way to create a fighting atmosphere where we share the same hatred and enemies. We can deal with bandits and rebels together. Who in the family will ask for military pay?
Families and tribes are entangled with each other through cultural customs and blood ties, and slowly form the concept of nation!
At this time, smart politicians began to use the banner of nationalism. This is called uniting people's hearts. We are all of the same nation. For the future of the nation, why don't our own children's descendants fight bravely against the enemy?
The reason why Napoleon's Iron Army was invincible was actually because France was one of the origins of nationalism at that time and was the first person to wave the flag of nationalism at that time!
Napoleon relied on nationalism to unite the morale of the army and make those European feudal monarchs flee!
The armies under the feudal monarchs were the most old-fashioned type of soldiers who fought for military pay, and many were simply mercenaries. If such an army encountered a nationalist army that risked their lives, they would be scum!
Therefore, Britain must use all the strength of Europe to deal with Napoleon, and this almost caused Napoleon to overturn!
Therefore, national ideology and financial incentives have been the two most important methods for running the army from ancient times to the present. Of course, there is a third method, which is religion. However, this method is too evil and the average nation cannot learn it!
In Xiao Letian's understanding, the so-called nationalism is actually to skillfully provoke the hatred of the nation and use hatred to replace other emotions of soldiers and people!
This trick is very easy to use, but it is too evil and cruel. It can be played well in the hands of a clever politician, but if the politician has a weaker method, this double-edged sword will definitely cut off his own hand!
In real history, Ito Hirobumi single-handedly suppressed all senior Japanese military officials, and no one among the military generals dared to challenge his majesty!
Therefore, the double-edged sword of nationalism was played very beautifully in the hands of Hirobumi Ito, and he achieved a series of victories!
The Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War were all the achievements of Ito Hirobumi’s administration!
But people die and politics die! After Ito Hirobumi's death, the flag of nationalism was immediately snatched away by the big guys in the military. From then on, Japanese civil servants were just a bunch of dogs!
Assassinated, intimidated, bribed... In just a few decades, the Japanese civil service group turned into a group of loyal dogs tamed by the military!
The history behind it is naturally unbearable to look at!
We must not forget the lessons we have learned from the past. To whom is the last lesson Xiao Letian teaches tonight? After all, who can hear it from the heart? neither knows!
Xiao Letian glanced at Xiang Ying from the corner of his eye, only to find that the disciple's face was hidden in the shadow of the doorway, and his expression could not be seen at all!
'Child, I believe all this should be able to touch you, right? I really hope you can raise your soul a little higher, a little higher, a little higher...'
No matter what people are thinking at the moment! But today the ideals of the head of state have successfully inspired all soldiers. A truly powerful Chinese nation, so powerful that the dream of standing at the top of human civilization can really replace hatred and money!
Being able to fight for their ideals, this army already looks like the cutest army in Xiao Letian's memory!
More than 1,500 soldiers and staff of the embassy rushed out to carry out the rescue of the capital. The flags with Peace Hotel fluttered in the firelight and sounded in the night wind!
"Order from the head of state of the Chinese nation! The area south of Headquarters Hutong and north of Guanmao Hutong will be temporarily designated as the Peace Hotel!"
"This is a demilitarized zone. Any armed force that dares to attack will be killed without mercy!"
"If you are attacked by thugs again, shoot immediately..."
"Unarmed citizens, come with me... come here quickly, pick up the child and follow me... to the Peace Hotel!"
They were holding the wounded and carrying children on their backs. Some old people could no longer run. The strong soldiers picked them up and ran back!
The entire northeastern area of the capital was in a state of chaos. Flags were flying in the streets and alleys. The Peace Hotel was the last glimmer of hope in the eyes of the desperate people!
"Shoot! All the violent gangsters...kill without mercy!"
The vanguard led by Wang Chen has already penetrated four or five miles to the north. At this moment, the brothers in their class are already trapped in a tight siege!
Ten brothers led more than a hundred people who fled the capital, and under the leadership of a Peace Hotel banner, they broke out on a bloody road!
The thugs were more than ten times their number, but this flag was like magic. All the most ferocious gangsters did not dare to attack. Even after Wang Chen ordered to shoot and kill all the thugs, they did not dare to take revenge. Scattering like flies!
"Damn it! This is not an organized riot at all, it's just gangsters taking advantage of the situation! Even if this stupid court sends hundreds of troops, it won't be so miserable..."
Seeing the naked body of a girl on the street corner, everyone present shed tears. Wang Chen picked up a coat scattered on the ground and covered the girl!
"Don't be reborn in a troubled world in your next life! Girl... go to the Chinese and be reincarnated! Under the flag of the head of state, nothing like this will ever happen again..."
"Let's go! Take the refugees to the Peace Hotel...save as many as we can tonight! The head of state has given us a new heart, we have to make him jump!"
Once the Guards of the Head of State opened fire, the security of the capital immediately reversed. The thugs who took advantage of the situation and robbed them heard that the Head of State had sent troops before even seeing the gun. They were frightened and fled in all directions at this news!
"Run... don't fucking grab it... Xiao Letian has sent troops, and the God of Death has taken action..."
"How many heads do you have? Do you want money or life? Get out of here now..."
His reputation is so great that it can scare Xiaoxiao's courage!
There are a total of eight alleys in the Peace Hotel area. In just one hour, more than 20,000 refugees from the capital were accommodated, and the number continues to increase!
Flags are placed every three meters along the Headquarters Alley and Guanmao Alley. This is the wall!
Live within the wall, die outside the wall! The difference between life and death turns out to be just a flag!
Xiao Letian dragged his exhausted body and turned back to the embassy. As soon as he entered the doorway, he saw the lonely voice and shadow of Prince Gong standing lonely!
Yixin looked at Xiao Letian and clapped gently, "Wonderful! It's really wonderful!"
"Although I know you are lying, you can actually make your subordinates believe you. This is your ability... I am not as good as me!"
Xiao Letian looked at him calmly, "Do you really think I'm lying to them?"
