C481 Examination (1/2)
Xiao Letian actually called the two battles between East and West an exam? This sentence caused everyone to be dumbstruck, but these were not Xiao Letian's casual words, but the true understanding he had gained along the way back home.
Xiao Letian's trip to Europe with the three hundred new troops could be said to be a severe exam. After paying with two hundred lives, the results of this exam shocked the entire world.
The examination grounds for Europe were's leadership skills, the officers' military tactics and commanding skills, as well as the public opinion and psychological warfare that Xiao Letian had always advocated. At the same time, he had also tested the battle strategy that he focused on training … Even the ability to engage in diplomacy was a test.
Xiao Letian didn't know how much he could perform, but he knew that in this era, there was no one who could do better than him. Even if it was those Western elites, in the same environment, their performance would definitely be worse than his.
What was even more worthy of praise were the New Army Warriors that he brought over. These youngsters, who were destined to be generals in the future, used their lives and passion to prove their loyalty to Xiao Letian.
The Chinese officer that had experienced the miracles of the stone bridge was even known as the eastern Spartan.
The curtains to the success of the European Grand Examination were drawn, and the East Asian Grand Examination was now in full swing. This was a completely different examination, not only did it test the fighting strength and loyalty of the troops that were left behind, it also covered the entire Ryukyu.
”Did the nationalism that I, Xiao Letian, instigated with one hand, awaken or not? Have they comprehended the modern national spirit that I instilled in them? ”
”In a war where a strong enemy oppresses the world, the human heart is restless. In a moment of life and death, the human heart will always show its true self … ”I firmly believe that in this exam, there will be some people who will shrink back due to misgivings. Of course, there will also be people who will ignore their own safety, grit their teeth and follow me to the end …”
”Who dares to say that the Ryukyu is made of iron? Even I, Xiao Letian, cannot guarantee it; who can guarantee that everyone will accept my value? ”In any case, I wouldn't dare guarantee it even if I were beaten to death …”
”Everything is unknown. Glazed sphere aboriginals, mainland Chinese, Japanese immigrants … Every single one of them are alive, and all of them have their own thoughts. God knows what's in their heads? ”
Xiao Letian no longer cared about the spying on the intelligence officer, on the way back from Europe, Xiao Letian understood many things.
”The great cause of changing the heavens and the earth is destined to not be smooth sailing. If the beginning was too smooth, there would be too many contradictions hidden under the tranquil water surface. These contradictions will slowly develop over time …”
”When I, Xiao Letian, was in the Ryukyu, many people called me Prime Minister. Even King Shang Tai called me Shang Fu, and my every word was strictly followed like an imperial edict. What are the thoughts of those people who are full of respect? ”
Xiao Letian shrugged his shoulders, ”I don't have Mind Reading, I can't guess anyways …”
Even the British intelligence officer laughed. ”Prime Minister, you have underestimated your charm, as far as I know, without you, not only did Ryukyu develop their economy, they did not even retreat from the French. We, the British, admire them for fighting …”
”Haha, although I know you're flattering me, I still want to thank you!” Xiao Letian nodded at him. At this time, he could already see the pier of the Singapore in front of him, the dark mass of people in the distance all welcoming him.
”I firmly believe that any kind of sacrifice will be rewarded. I also believe that any advanced thought, one can always get the most allies … Ryukyu will not lose, nor will he die, I am certain of this! ”
”But, I also can't tolerate traitors with two or three blades under their command … Of course, I, Xiao Letian am not a narrow-minded person, I can tolerate the opposition. One year ago, I could even forgive the Japanese Shimadzu Family, but can't I forgive my own people? ”
”However, after this exam, I will let everyone know that if you have any objections towards me, if you are my opponent, please state your thoughts under the sun. Even if you smash me with rotten eggs, I will not retaliate against you …”
”But! What if someone was two-faced and had a complete set on the surface? I, Xiao Letian, can also let him taste what it is like to live rather than die! There is a very nasty situation in the political atmosphere in Asia, and that is the prevalence of hypocrites... ”
”For this exam, I want to make sure that there is nowhere for the hypocrites to hide. I also want to see how many people will sincerely follow the path that I, Xiao Letian, have pointed out. I also want to see who is a true Awakened and who is a group of fortunate people who only know how to shout under the banner of nationalism …”
”What if you lose this exam? What if you end up failing? ” The British intelligence officer asked subconsciously, but what he got instead was the laughter of everyone present.
Even Luo Huo who came from the northern countryside shook his head, ”So what if I lost, so what if I failed!? Prime Minister's broadmindedness covers the four seas. If Ryukyu really chooses to give up on Prime Minister, we won't do anything about it. At worst, we can just bring all of the new troops and all of our businesses back to the continent … ”
