481 Exam

Xiao Letian actually said that the two battles between the East and the West were exams? As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was dumbfounded, but this was not Xiao Letian's casual words, but his true understanding of the way back to China.

Xiao Letian's trip to Europe with the 300 New Army can be said to be a severe test, and after paying 200 lives, the results of this test amazed the whole world.

In the examination room in Europe, Xiao Letian's leadership ability was tested, the tactical quality and command level of the officer corps, and of course, the public opinion warfare and psychological warfare that Xiao Letian has always admired, and at the same time, the trench position tactics that he focused on training were tested...... Even the ability to engage in diplomacy is a test.

Xiao Letian didn't know how many points his table could have, but he knew that no one in this era could do better than him, even those Western elites, if they were placed in the same environment, their table would definitely be inferior to themselves.

What is even more commendable is the new army warriors he brought, these young people who are destined to become generals in the future have proved their loyalty to Xiao Letian with their lives and blood.

The Chinese officer corps, who experienced the miracle of the stone bridge, was even known as the Spartans of the East.

The European exam has come to a successful conclusion, and the East Asian exam is now in full swing, this is a completely different exam, in addition to the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the new army left behind, this exam also covers the whole of Ryukyu.

"Has the nationalism that I Xiao Lotian single-handedly pushed up awakened or not?

"In a war under the pressure of a strong enemy, people's hearts are restless, and at the moment of life and death, people's hearts will always show their truest selves...... I firmly believe that in this big test, there will be people who have doubts and retreat, and of course, there will be people who will grit their teeth and follow me to the end......"

"Who dares to guarantee that Ryukyu is monolithic? Even I, Xiao Letian, can't guarantee it; who dares to guarantee that everyone has accepted my values? I don't dare to guarantee that I will be killed anyway......"

"A qiē is unknown, the indigenous people of the Ryukyus, the Han people of the mainland, and the Japanese immigrants...... And even the merchant adventurers from all over the world, each of them is a living person, with their own minds, and God knows what they have in their heads?"

Xiao Lotian no longer cares about the prying eyes of the British intelligence officer, Xiao Lotian has figured out a lot of things on the way home from Europe, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and disasters and blessings are too right, and the current war in the Ryukyus is not a good thing for his own career.

"The great cause of changing the world is not destined to be smooth sailing, if the start is too smooth, there are too many contradictions hidden under the calm water, and these contradictions will develop and grow little by little over time......"

"When I was in the Ryukyus, all the people shouted that I was the prime minister, and even the king of Shangtai called me Shangfu, and every word I said was strictly observed like a holy decree, but was this qiē true?

Xiao Lotian shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have mind reading, anyway, I can't guess ......"

The humorous gesture made the people around him smile, and even the British intelligence officer smiled, "Prime Minister, you underestimate your charm a little, as far as I know, in the time without you, the Ryukyus not only had a booming economy, but also did not flinch even in the face of the French, and they fought very much to us British people......"

"Haha, although I know you're a sycophant, I still want to thank you..." Xiao Lotian nodded at him, and at this time he could already see the dock of the Lion City in front of him, and the black pressure in the distance was full of people welcoming him.

"I firmly believe that any effort is rewarded, and I also firmly believe that any advanced idea will always get the most allies...... I am sure that the Ryukyus will not be defeated, let alone destroyed..."

"However, I also cannot tolerate a two-faced traitor under my command...... Of course, I, Xiao Letian, am not a person with a small belly, I can tolerate the opposition, a year ago I was even able to forgive the Japanese Shimadzu family, can't I forgive my own people?"

"However, after this big test, I want everyone to understand that if you have an opinion about me, if you are my opponent, please speak your mind in the sun, even if you hit me with rotten eggs, I will not retaliate against you......"

"But... If someone stabs on both sides and three times, one on the surface and one behind the other, I, Xiao Letian, can also let him taste what it is like to live better than die... There is a very disgusting situation in the political atmosphere in Asia, and that is the prevalence of hypocrites......"

"In this big test, I just want to make the hypocrites have nowhere to hide, I also want to see how many people will sincerely follow the path pointed out by Xiao Letian, and I want to see who is the real awakened under the banner of nationalism, and who is a group of lucky people who can only shout slogans......"

"What if you lose this exam, what if you fail the final result?" the British intelligence officer asked subconsciously, but in exchange for the laughter of everyone present.

Even Luo Huo, a man who came out of the northern countryside, shook his head: "If you lose, you lose, and if you fail, you won't pass... If the Ryukyu really chooses to give up the Prime Minister, we won't be able to do anything, it's a big deal to take all the new army and all the industries that belong to us back to the mainland......"

"Ryukyu is just a county, and Asia is huge, I don't think you British people don't know, what are we afraid of defeat? As long as the prime minister is here, we will win one day..."

Luo Huo's words stimulated the British intelligence officer's heart, and a deep sense of fear enveloped him, if there were more and more heroes like this in Asia, it would be too detrimental to the domination of Europe.

But then Xiao Letian's words made the British official even more stunned, and at that moment he even had a sense of ominousness in his heart.

"Luo Huo, you are wrong, this big exam is not so simple, in fact, the core exam is one sentence......" Xiao Letian was silent for three seconds and then said coldly, "If Xiao Letian dies, how will you choose?"

With a hiss, there was a gasp around everyone, and everyone didn't expect that the question in Xiao Letian's heart would be so perverted.

Throughout human history, there are only two civilizations that do not pass through heroes but only through guò culture and continue to be civilized, one is the ancient Roman civilization and the other is the Chinese civilization.

Now Xiao Letian is so arrogant that he dies and his career is not extinguished? How is this possible? What are you Xiao Letian, you are just a mortal, people die like lights going out, do you really think you can completely manipulate people's hearts?

You Xiao Lotian is alive, those talents you have gathered will listen to you quietly and follow you, if you are gone, leave a plate of loose sand and no one will obey anyone, and no one can suppress anyone, it is strange if there is no civil war.

If we talk about the powerful forces that emerged in the late Qing Dynasty, the military groups Hunan Army, Huai Army and Beiyang condensed by the Han governors are the first to be recommended.

At the time of Zeng Guofan, the Hunan army was so strong that the Manchus had to bow their heads and admit it, and Ma Xinyi, the governor of Liangjiang who accepted the fate of the imperial court, said that he would kill him, and no one dared to solve this mysterious case until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, but whether it is the official history or the wild history, the inference of the real culprit behind the scenes is always inseparable from the huge group of the Hunan army.

By the way, even if Cixi knew that Ma Xinyi had been killed, she only asked Zeng Guofan, "Isn't this strange?" and Zeng Guofan's answer was also very good, "Yes, very strange..."

In the end, the imperial court also had to pinch its nose and let Zeng Guofan personally solve the case, which shows how strong the Hunan army was back then.

But it was such a huge military group, and after the death of Zeng Guofan, the original internal contradictions began to intensify, the most representative of which was the open and secret struggle between Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.

These two ministers have far exceeded the vulgar realm of civil fighting and political fighting, and the two old brothers once fought at the wine table in order to distinguish between the courage of the Hunan army and the courage of the Huai army.

At that time, the two of them were both high-ranking officials, and Zuo Zongtang's Nanyang Fleet was all involved, one was the chief of the imperial general staff, and the other was the commander of the imperial navy.

In fact, the root cause of the struggle between the two can be clearly seen by anyone with a discerning eye, that is, the struggle for the inheritance of the resources of the Hunan army.

In the end, it was Li Hongzhang who won the victory, he dug up the talents in the Hunan army, and then matched him with the soldiers of the Huai army, since then the Hunan army withdrew from the historical stage, and the Huai army made a shining debut, and evolved a Beiyang from the Huai army.

Look, this is a typical example of the death of a person, a powerful political family like Zeng Guofan, in the end, he can't escape such a fate, and now Xiao Letian actually wants to test the test, will Ryukyu continue to listen to him when he dies?

Oh yes, you're so funny...

In fact, Xiao Lotian also knows that he is very funny, because the ultimate fate of Huaijun and Beiyang in the previous life is actually just the death of people and the extinction of politics.

Yuan Shikai accepted Li Hongzhang's power, and at that time he was already a little unable to control the situation, and after his death, Beiyang completely fell apart, and the Anhui warlords, Feng warlords, and direct warlords ...... These terms, which plagued history students back then, needed to be memorized, in fact, were all the heritage of Beiyang in the final analysis.

It was not until the death of Zhang Zuolin, the last important minister of Beiyang, that this big force completely withdrew from the Chinese stage.

For more than a hundred years, how many people have not solved the problem, and no one even dares to try to solve it, but today Xiao Letian, a stunned young man, dares to make such an attempt?

"Madman, if you weren't crazy, I'd eat that bronze cannon on the deck, it's really a shame to waste the intelligence power of our British Empire, and it took so much energy to spend so much energy with a madman..."
