C3175 Mechanical Soldier Rehabilitation Program (1/2)

How should the history of human war be broken? Bronze, Iron, Long-range, Gunpowder, Wild Horse Taming... It was possible for all sorts of technologies to be used in the era of the break down, but none of them were as crazy or as hysterical as those created by industrialization.

Before industrialization, the human war was filled with a strong artistic atmosphere and all kinds of unpredictable accidents. War was just like how it was in movies and television, full of bloody violence, full of tenderness, and full of sorrowful songs.

Wars in that era really depended on luck. Even in the era of guns and cannons, there were countless miracles on the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing. Maybe it was the weather, maybe it was the morale, maybe it was the logistics, maybe it was a disease!

If the musketeers were invincible, the Boers in South Africa would not have been able to defeat the British Empire army at its peak.'s son had died during that war, to the point where it was worth mentioning.

Even more backward than the Boers, Ethiopia had defeated several well-armed British and Italian troops!

Although the gun was very powerful, it was still a weapon from before the industrialization. He relied too much on the quality of humans to use the gun in the hands of veterans as a killing weapon, while in the hands of barbarians, the gun was a burning stick.

What are the signs that really represent industrial weapons and equipment? In fact, it was the Iron-armored battleship that was equipped with a steam turbine. This kind of large-scale war weapon was the product of true industrial technology.

Thousands of tons of huge monster, driven by the burning steam from the boiler, had its steel armour pierce through the ocean waves, and naval gun with supernatural large caliber swept across the ocean.

The seaports and inner-river ports of the backward people were trembling!

The old cannon of the backward people couldn't tear the steel plate that was pressed down by the ten thousand ton hydraulic machine at all. The infantry with guns could only foolishly watch the steel behemoth flaunting its power on the surface of the water.

The main cannon of the armored battleship had several hundred pounds of light charge per shell. The power of a single shell explosion could destroy an ancient military formation. The heart of the soldiers would even be vaporized!

This was a genuine top tier killing weapon equipped with the aura of industrial power. Under his absolute firepower, all traditional methods of warfare were ineffective!

Moreover, this weapon had a very special attribute. It was something that lower races could not control!

Even if the battleship was given to the Qing Dynasty, no one would be able to pilot it. It would take at least ten years or even dozens of years to train the crew.

The battleship was a huge machine, so after the internal combustion engine was invented, the tanks, armoured vehicles, aircraft, and other weapons were all machines of different sizes.

There were hundreds or even thousands of people controlling a warship, and a tank would require the cooperation of at least four or five driving members. Even the lone wolf pilots in the sky needed a huge number of ground crew to coordinate and maintain it, otherwise they wouldn't have any fighting strength at all!

And the people who operated these machinery, these new generation of soldiers, had to possess a unique ability that was completely different from the soldiers of the Middle Age!

They had to be educated, be able to read the mechanical words and numbers, and be able to do some simple calculations!

At the same time, they had to train to be punctual, quantified, and collaborative... They had to get rid of all the old problems of the smallholder economy, the vague quantification.

Otherwise, the machine would only be a pile of scrap!

Xiao Letian had always been storing up such an army, because he knew clearly that the era he was in was an era where farming still dominated. It was impossible for him to recruit qualified soldiers directly from the citizens!

Not only was it impossible for Asia, but it was the same in Europe as well. The rural areas of Europe were also lagging far behind the nineteenth century!

There is no compulsory education in Europe except Prussia!
