C136 (2/2)
The temporary parade of ten companies alarmed the entire Na Ba. Countless Chinese and natives rushed to the two sides of the street to watch the soldiers dressed in strange clothing. Even Japanese snuck into the crowd to watch the show.
Only two or three companies after the military parade, Shang Tai had already brought many high ranking officials from the imperial court over. How could the crowd from the military parade miss out on this young king. Not long after, the injured Sakamoto Ryoma arrived as well. He looked at the soldiers who were like a torrent, and gasped in his heart.
Xiao Letian's new army was a bottomless pit filled with burning money from the very beginning. Xiao Letian had never been stingy with his new army. The American grocer, who had come to East Asia to try his luck, had sold more than a thousand sets of individual soldier equipment. The military supplies accumulated after the end of the Civil War were finally sold off.
The blue army uniform, the flat roof cap, the leather boots with iron palms, the thick belt of armed force, and the young faces of proud to the point of death, all gathered together into an unbeatable torrent.
The Chinese and Glazed sphere aboriginals s were all extremely excited, while the remaining surviving Japanese s were all extremely frightened.
In this era, there were no western style troops in East Asia, and all countries still adhered to the Middle Age's military concept, the military model of the era of cold weapons did not change at all. Although the Xiang Army was the first army in Asia to be equipped with a large amount of guns, it seemed to be very advanced. But their command structure and military concept remained the structure of ancient times.
It was precisely because he was unique that Xiao Letian gave people an even more intense feeling of impact. The modern army's military parade required one to go through a neat line and uniform, and adding to that an indomitable aura, it gave the spectators a kind of intense visual conflict.
This visual conflict alone can create a fearless, invincible grandeur. The oldest genes of humans had the password to follow the strong, and the strong walked towards a better life. This was the desire of almost all humans.
Xiao Letian is a devil who sees through people's hearts. Since the people want this power, I will give you guys this power. In an era where there are no heroes, let me stand above the tide.
More and more people gathered, and it was unknown who shouted ”Long live” in the crowd, following that, the entire street was filled with shouts of ”Long live”, the Chinese and Glazed sphere aboriginals were all so excited that it was like New Year. Until finally, when Yepingtai brought the carefully selected sea cuttlefish people to the main street, thousands of dejected Japanese s also began to celebrate.
”Board Load... Plate Load...”Board Load...” The Japanese people watched with tears in their eyes as their brethren appeared on the streets. Long live the shouting. They subconsciously straightened their backs and finally got their hands on the supreme glory on the streets.
Yepingtai, no, he should be called Xiao Yepingtai now. He wore a brand-new military uniform and walked at the front of the line with his chin raised high.
From the looks of it, there was no difference between the Foreign Legion and the New Army, but the Foreign Legion was a army with a blade that Xiao Letian had personally allowed. This troop had given up on the bayonet as a modern method of combat, and instead kept the Katana and the costal deviation.
In Xiao Letian's plans, the most brutal assault in the war would be made by white soldiers. Thinking about these Japanese samurai, under his command, using the Katana to pierce through the enemy's formation, using the cruelest of weapons to completely crush the enemy's morale, this kind of scene was very satisfying.
”Good, good, good. What a good warrior who has fallen into battle. I hope you will follow the path of a warrior and not disgrace him!” Xiao Letian's encouragement made these warriors even more crazy. They were so excited that their steps were in a mess, and the surrounding Chinese people all shook their heads.
At this time, Sakamoto Ryoma walked over and bowed deeply to Xiao Letian and said, ”In just half a month, Your Excellency has completely changed the face of the entire Ryukyu Kingdom. This humble one is truly impressed. I wonder when will the Prime Minister start our negotiations? If this continues, it will not benefit Shimadzu Family or you, Sir … ”
Xiao Letian knew that Sakamoto Ryoma was not lying, although he did not have any telegraph, phone, radio or any other advanced communication equipment, but the developed sea route could still allow the news to spread across Asia within ten days, and over a month's time.
The negotiations could not be delayed any longer. In order to come up with an agreement that could be endorsed by all three sides before the international community had a chance to react, it was necessary to prevent the external forces from infiltrating.
Most importantly, there was a life and death battle between the Shimadzu Family and Xiao Letian, and the Shimadzu Family was afraid of the Tsurukawa's Palace but the one Xiao Letian was worried about was the Manchu dynasty Hall. Xiao Letian was afraid that the Shimadzu Family would do something bad in front of the Qing Ting. The Shimadzu Family was more afraid that Xiao Letian would secretly ally with the Tokugawa, because in this kind of emotion, the desire of both sides to reach an agreement was extremely strong.
”Mr. Ryoma, my time is very precious, I will only stay there for a month at the most, I hope you and I do not fall into the negotiation mire, it is better to be frank with each other, to be honest, I am a little homesick, you can't let me stay here for New Year, right?”
After hearing Xiao Letian's teasing, Sakamoto Ryoma's heart was finally at ease. From the looks of it, the negotiations for the future would be very smooth.
