C1357 Price of underestimating the enemy (1/2)

The temporary command center was dead silent. Outside, the shouts of the Russian Army were earth-shattering, and the marines who were retaliating were having a hard time killing as well. To be honest, everything Xiao Letian said today was really hard for them to accept.

Chinese Army was a proud army, born with victory after victory. The hundred thousand Chinese uprising in Ryukyu caused a big commotion in the construction of the Chinese army. From then on, this young army fought year in and year out.

On the borders of the Fa Rui, the new army had fought against the Cavalry Battalion s of France.

Not to mention that the reserve militia troops had managed to block the sneak attack of the elite French army, and there were also a few times when the Tanggu defended their lives and captured the capital city, which was a shocking achievement, which proved to the whole world how powerful the new army was.

Along the way, most of the rookies had fought with the weak winning over the strong. They had fought with the weak winning over the strong, but who were they afraid of in this world? Every soldier in this army was proud, and the conviction that they would win was unbreakable.

This kind of pride was undoubtedly valuable, but in Xiao Letian's eyes, this pride was also dangerous. This world was far more dangerous than the new army officers and soldiers thought it was.

The reason why the new army was undefeated was only because of Xiao Letian, the smart strategist. Xiao Letian carefully walked between the strong, looking for allies, trying to deduce the bottom line between the strong and powerful. He always stopped before the enemies were about to go berserk, and then put on a harmless look.

To establish friendly commercial relations with the United States, to establish a paramilitary alliance with Prussia, and to submit to the British, willingly and willingly, to be a pawn of the British.

It was always to get a family of two, to fight a small battle at the negotiating table and discuss a big battle two more times. It was only because he was so careful to cross the river by means of a stone that Xiao Letian was worried the most about.

Xiao Letian was unable to describe the significance of Britain to the entire Earth in this era. In this country which controlled the entire ocean, the Royal Navy was indeed invincible. Even if Xiao Letian possessed Zhiyuan Warship s that surpassed thirty years of dark technology, he was still not a match for the United Kingdom.

Industrial strength could not be made up with just words. Even Xiao Letian could guess that in the British Royal Shipyard, countless engineers were using the limited information on Zhiyuan Warship to duplicate this battleship.

The more beautiful the fighting was, the more funds the British would invest for the engineers. This huge amount of money and sufficient talent would eventually create a new battleship that would be far better than the one used by the Zhiyuan Warship.

As long as the test site was tested and the Queen of England or the Prime Minister was willing to invest in such a warship, the terrifying power of British industry would erupt.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the ship was like a dumpling being launched. It was an iron-like fact!

The difference in strength was not something that could be made up with just spirit. No matter how the Chinese were not ready to fight against the British, no matter how strong Xiao Letian was, failure was inevitable.

In fact, it was not only Britain, France and the United States. The productivity of those countries that had undergone the baptism of Industrial Revolution was 100 times that of the Chinese people in front of them. It was not something that could be caught up to just by relying on their ideals and spirit.

Xiao Letian carefully found a balance between the strong and the weak. He would rather die to help Prussia fight a European war, as he did not have enough money in his own country. However, he used over ten million silver coins worth of reserves to help Prussia rise to power and support the anti-government forces in France.
