C198 postwar wrap-up (1/2)
Before last night, the Green Camp was our enemy, but now that the situation of the Tanggu has changed, can't the military officers inside the Green Camp become our support? ”You should all go back and carefully consider this question …”
This was Xiao Letian's speech at the postwar summary meeting, and this kind of summary meeting was already an indispensable part of the New Army's daily life.
Ordinary soldiers were organized in classes, and they held such meetings every day and even after every operation. Everyone spoke, recording and discussing in detail every inadequacy of the training and operations.
had personally told all the soldiers before that it was a heavy crime for an officer to obstruct their way of speech, and the new army would definitely not do anything like they did with the traditional army.
Of course, Xiao Letian had some confidence in doing so, because the literacy rate of the New Army that he was bringing was the highest in the entire world at the time. He completely used the New Army as a future army officer reserve to build it.
If the ordinary soldiers were to meet, Xiao Letian and the high ranking officers were to meet as well. Criticism and self-criticism were essential, no one was an exception.
”Let's not talk about the bright spots of this battle. Right now, I am mainly criticizing one person, it is him who is headstrong and blindly confident and nearly destroyed our battle. This person is Xiao Letian …”
Wang Huaiyuan was really rude, right after he finished his speech, his cannons had already started firing.
”Before the war, we had done a lot of deductions and deductions. Basically, every deductions and deductions revealed the biggest flaw and flaw in the plan, and those were the yamen runners from The yamen of the same knowledge. How could these commoners, who had not been trained in the military, protect the Lord? If something were to happen to you, then even if the new army wins, they will still suffer a crushing defeat … ”
”You don't have to look at me and giggle, you have to take all responsibility for this. Master, you have to remember, you don't have a son yet, and your successor hasn't been born yet. Living is your most important mission. A cause can't be successful without a flag... ”
Xiao Letian blushed a little, thinking to himself, how can you talk about this with Wang Huaiyuan, why are you talking about a meeting like this, and whether you have a son or not? But looking at the serious expressions of the people around him, he knew this was no joke.
”Huaiyuan, this is the postwar conclusion of the gathering. I'd rather not talk about me having a son …” ”Hehe, hehehe!”
”Master, don't laugh foolishly. The rules for speaking freely during the meeting were set by you. Do you want to go back on your word?” Every word that I am saying right now is something that we have discussed countless times before.
Xiao Letian was dumbstruck when he heard it. Why did you guys have a secret meeting regarding my inner chamber? Isn't it too broad! But Wang Huaiyuan's words made Xiao Letian unable to laugh.
”Master, after discussion among our army officers of Tanggu, we have a common suggestion … Please accept Hu Niu's descendants as your successors, and please strip Fu Hui of her right to inheritance. ”Of course, we're not talking about money. My lord's sons must be talking about wealth and life. We're talking about military power …”
Xiao Letian was stunned, this, this … Isn't this way too weird? How did he come up with this? There's a problem behind this. Xiao Letian suddenly realised that this guild that he had created himself had already started to evolve. He already had the need to choose himself, and he had started to influence his founder.
Yes, all the powers in the world, once they took shape and began to expand, would have a special kind of self-awareness. For example, in the history of the Xiang Army, there had been signs of independence, or even rebellion. As for the North Ocean formed by the Huai Army, it overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and even formed an unusually large system of Northern Ocean Warlords.
Not only China, but the entire world was the same. Japan's militarism was based on the Wutu Dao and the Sky Emperor, and eventually developed into an independent power that was completely not controlled by the civil service. This power's own thoughts and will could dominate the entire Japan.
Originally, Xiao Letian thought that it would take a few more years before he would encounter this problem. However, he did not expect that in just a little more than a year, the child he raised would have already begun to think about it on his own.
”You all … Are you forcing me? I haven't even held a grand wedding yet, and am still a bachelor. Isn't it a bit too early for you to say that? ”
”No, it's not too early at all. It's best to prepare for any future dangers. We are not forcing you today, but this sudden clash allowed us to see Miss Hu Niu's extraordinary side. Courage, perseverance, decisiveness, even in the face of death. ”
”Did the lord not notice? After a night of fighting, Miss Hu Niu had already unified the hearts of everyone in the Inner Palace. Not only that, the rest of the brothers also admired Hu Niu. Everyone felt that only this kind of woman could be worthy of an adult's cause … As for Fu Hui, it's just a political marriage, that's all … ”
The entire meeting ended with Xiao Letian's' failure '. During the meeting, Xiao Letian criticized himself, and apologized sincerely.
In addition, Xiao Letian had also promised everyone to carefully consider the issue of the successor. Although he did not explicitly nod his head, this was already a huge concession that Xiao Letian had made.
After the meeting ended, Xiao Letian sat in the study room on the second floor without saying a word. Of course, Xiao Letian hoped that his subordinates were elites with brains. They shouldn't be servants with blind faith. But when the great power he had brought began to rebut him, Xiao Letian was also a little unhappy in his heart.
