C2642 Life is cheap (2/2)
”If we really set up the universal compulsory army, his army might not be able to survive Blanqui's group. At that time, it might not be impossible for him to launch a military coup!”
'In the end... France is doomed to lose in this war, and there is no luck! ”
Until now, Xiao Letian's expression had calmed down, he extended his hand and gestured for Xiang Ying to sit down, ”Yes, Xiang Ying is right, during the battle between the three emperors, the entire Prussian nation could only produce a hundred thousand soldiers!”
”Only a little more than a decade after the Battle of the Three Sovereigns, Prussia could have mobilized 1 million troops. And don't forget, there were less than 10 million people in the whole of Prussia at that time!”
”Having tasted the sweetness of the National Compulsory Soldier system, Prussia has firmly pushed the system to its end!”
Just then, Bing Tai raised his hand. ”Leader …” I have another question! Since Prussia's system of conscripts is already very strong, why is it that no European country has implemented it? ”
”Why do you still say France is the most powerful army in the world? The people of other countries are not fools. Can't they see the benefits of Prussia's compulsory military service? ”
”To be able to mobilize an army of one million with a population of ten million, this is already happening right in front of our eyes. Why aren't they willing to change it?”
”Good question!” Bing Tai's hit the spot! ” Xiao Letian nodded his head in gratitude.
”There is only one core reason. At this moment, the military and ideological circles in Europe still believe that the combat prowess of professional soldiers far surpasses that of the obligatory soldiers!”
”In the eyes of those Military experts s, no matter how much combat strength a soldier has, he is still inferior to them! The Veterans of the Hundred Wars can definitely fight one against ten. In the eyes of many generals, a conscript is just a group of upgraded bandits! ”
”It's fine to have a smooth sailing battle for a short period of time, but as long as the situation isn't good, they will be the first to collapse!”
”Another reason is that they are considering the economy of the country. They think if the whole country goes to war, who is going to do the economy? If it fails, and only the elderly and children are left in the country, wouldn't the country be finished? ”
”That's right! That's what I thought too! ” The military officers in action also said.
Xiao Letian heard the discussions of the crowd below. Instead of replying, he turned his gaze towards Xiang Ying, and when he saw Xiang Ying, he got angry, causing Xiang Ying to put on his hat, and then quickly memorized his words without saying anything. It was as if they were not from the same group.
He then glanced at Cai Bixia, Lin Zhen, Jin Sanshun and the other naval officer s, only then did Xiao Letian realize that this group of Rangers members were all learning from Xiang Ying, bowing their heads and not saying a word.
”Xiang Ying! Don't you have any ideas? You can answer this question! ” Xiao Letian said in a stern voice.
”You naval officer, didn't you claim to be the people with the highest education? You guys have a lot of ink in your stomachs, answer! ”
Xiang Ying looked like a dead person as he used the military hat to stand up. He did not bother to communicate with the leader and stared at the table in front of him.
”People from the mainstream military and ideological circles in Europe are far too backward. They've only seen the past, but not the developments of this era at all …”
