C316 Appreciation of the Stone (1/2)

Xiao Letian's feelings towards this foster son of his from Japan were very complicated. As a new youth who had experienced the anti-Japanese education of the later generations, he must be lying if he said that he did not resent the Japanese in his heart. After all, that small island nation had defeated the continent's civilization time and time again.

But Chou Ri couldn't be brought into this era! Xiao Letian reminded himself many times, this was the 19th mid-century leaf, this was an era before the Minzhiweixin, at this time the nationalism in the Japanese had yet to rise, the concept of a normal Japanese to a country was still very weak.

This was a group of people who were loyal to the monarch but did not know the meaning of a country. Yepingtai and Bing Tai Lang were two typical examples.

Right now, this foster son was saying a bunch of weird words while kneeling on the ground. This caused the sensitive Xiao Letian to immediately wake up.

”Yepingtai, you and Bing Tai Lang are both my foster sons, you can say what you want to say without worrying. In the battle at Besanthus, you guys fought very well. You guys are my reliable blades, so don't be timid and speak your mind … ”

Yepingtai knelt on the ground, his heart unusually conflicted. His trembling back had already proven this point. After hesitating for more than ten minutes, Yepingtai finally gritted his teeth and spoke his mind.

”Lord Father, please forgive my rudeness! Bing Tai and I did not have any unnecessary thoughts, but please consider the thoughts of the other warriors carefully … ”

Yepingtai poured out all of the emotions he had accumulated within the Foreign Legion during this period of time. He didn't know whether to say it or not, but the moment he said something that shocked Xiao Letian, he had neglected to mention it to him.

Xiao Letian's Foreign Legion was only in its infancy, it was basically made up of Japanese Rangers, with a few Korean and Nan Yang indigenous people.

The Japanese Rangers and the wild warrior were definitely brave, when facing life and death, they felt a kind of religious fanaticism, risking their lives for victory.

However, in the thousands of years of the Japanese samurai's history, there had been some shortcomings, such as an intense desire for rewards.

In the spirit of kung fu, it is glorious for the lord to die, but the lord must be rewarded immediately. In the Japanese Warring States Period, each family's big name would immediately discuss and reward their subordinates after the battle. Whether it was the first achievement, the number of heads, or the distance from where they could be forced to march … All the contributions were very clear and detailed.

To make a joke, the Japanese Warring States Period's record of military merits was more like a record for later generations of computer games.

A clear reward and punishment would give people the motivation to work hard. Of course, this model could only be implemented in a country with few people. A joint battle of thirty or forty thousand people had become a big battle for historical records. If this were to go to China, it would make people laugh their teeth off.

In the Ancient China, there were countless wars that had over a hundred thousand people. This kind of complicated war was simply impossible to complete with a meticulous record of each soldier's achievements.

It was exactly because the rewards and penalties were unknown, that was why in the Ancient China war, many soldiers were just like soy sauce. Making a living by eating alone was their principle to join the army.

And today, the soldiers of the Foreign Legion had successfully obstructed the forces of two Cavalry Battalion s at the Fa Rui border. Furthermore, they had even accomplished a great service during the fire extinguishing operation in the hamburger.

During this period of time, the Japanese soldiers were all secretly guessing and discussing about how much reward they would get.

But the pity was that Xiao Letian's energy was already focused on other places, and did not seem to have any intention of doing so.

”Lord Father, I firmly believe that you have not forgotten our contributions. I also do not dare to ask for it from you …” ”However, please consider the hearts of these low-level warriors. Their past lives were too bitter, and they had no way to return any rewards. It was so easy to encounter a wise king like father, and they all cherished this opportunity to change their lives …”

”Even if you don't have any plans for the post-war conference, please say something that will calm them down and calm them down …” Please! ”

After Yepingtai finished speaking, he kowtowed and fell onto the ground.

Xiao Letian looked at Yepingtai and sighed in his heart, this nation was too contradictory. In the battlefield, they were all gods of death, but in front of the Sovereign they were as weak as children. They could easily give up their lives, but they would argue over just a little bit of merit.

”Yepingtai, get up. I should be thanking you today. You're the one who reminded me, I really did overlook it … That's right, it's reasonable for soldiers to work so hard to earn merits. It's not a disgrace. ”On the contrary, hiding your thoughts in your stomach and not saying anything about it will kill you …”
