is still the old saying that Xiao Letian often said, God's perspective and strategic vision are very important, and they are very important. At present, there are very few academies for training strategists in the world, and most of the courses in European military academies are only focused on the tactical level.

For example, how should the two sides deploy troops, fire coverage, intelligence collection, etc., in a naval battle on the sea, how should the fleets of both sides marshall, transpose, how to seize the upper hand, how to allocate firepower, and so on.

This is an era of endless tactics, but there are not many real strategists, because real strategists are already among the politicians.

Without a geopolitical vision, without a profound world view, without a very deep study of human history, and even a master of geography, let alone the study of the origin, development and characteristics of various civilizations.

Well, if you don't do that, you won't rise to the ranks of military strategists at all, and most of these people are actually accepted into the civilian political system.

After half a lifetime of accumulation and precipitation of knowledge, such an elite should remember that such talents are not born, and it is absolutely impossible to accumulate and precipitate knowledge without relying on half a lifetime.

When they reach the harvest period of their lives after half a lifetime of hard work, they will be faced with two choices, one is to directly enter the civil service system to govern the country, and the second choice is to continue to study, at least to become a qualified tactician.

Well, when such an elite leaves the military system and enters the civilian system, then he can become a good politician. But if you want to become a strategist, you have to go the second way, and he learned that Bing!

It is rare for strategists in the history of mankind to have one or two of them appear at a critical moment, which is already a great fortune for a nation. If you paraphrase the original words of Xiao Lotian and Zeng Guofan, such a person already belongs to the Hidden Dragon lineage.

Napoleon was a strategist, Bismarck was certainly a strategist, Queen Victoria, Churchill and even Napoleon III, the current enemy of Xiao Lotian, could also be counted as a strategist.

Later generations of Chinese well-known presidents and principals were even more leaders among strategists.

If strategists are the closest people in the world to gods, this is understandable, because they see the world from a completely different angle, one is flying in the sky and looking down on the earth, while the other is standing in the jungle and is obscured.

The same geographical coordinates are analyzed completely differently simply because of the difference in height.

Kevin is a very good engineer and scientist, majoring in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, ship building, etc., he is the elite in Prussia, but he does not have a strategic vision, he is just a very ordinary scientist.

But Xiang Ying is not, this guy is the nephew of Master Long, and Lin Zhen, Jin Sanshun and others are all proper second-generation Ryukyu officials, Xiao Letian's care for them is absolute, of course, this kind of care is not money and power, but knowledge.

Xiang Ying will never forget the small class that the prime minister gave them, especially the most surprising hot air balloon class, which ordinary people can't imagine.

On the west mountain of Beijing, the heater is locked at an altitude of more than 500 meters by a long cable, and it is obviously summer, but Xiao Letian and these children are still dressed like bears, and the sky is really cold.

Xiao Lotian didn't say a word, he asked everyone to see it, kept looking, and then the sketchboard in his hand began to draw, asking them to draw all the mountains and rivers in front of them.

Not only that, but all the students had to use trigonometric functions to calculate the height of each mountain peak from the angle of sunlight and the shadow of the mountain, and draw contour lines on the map.

800 meters, 700 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters...... At all heights, these children had to make their own observations, and a three-dimensional map of mountains and rivers gradually formed in their minds, and they really turned the entire land of Gyeonggi into a game of chess in their hearts.

"Deduction, children, if you want to get my anti-heaven divine skill, then from now on turn yourselves into gods and Buddhas, open your perspective of God, if you can't learn to overlook the earth in the clouds, then don't say that I am your apprentice......"

Countless days and nights, the children spent a whole summer in Xishan, and they even re-drew the route of the Manchurians entering the customs several times on the military map according to the history of the Ming Dynasty, in their minds why the Manchus fought so much, how the Ming army should resist, and deduced the wargames over and over again, and finally tempered their higher and higher strategic outlook.

When Kevin tried to embarrass Xiang Ying with strategic problems, the other international students all let out a knowing smile, knowing that Kevin was going to be abused.

The map of Europe was spread out on the deck, and Xiang Ying pointed to a circle around Berlin: "This is Prussia, right? This is Poland, Russia, Sweden, the Baltic ......."

"To the west and south are Britain and France, the English Channel is completely under the control of these two countries, and their shore artillery can even control the Strait of Dover......"

"Look at the North Sea, what do the Auckland Islands and Shetland Islands look like? Yes, it's a cover, a cover built by the British Royal Navy for the European continental powers......"

"You are a highly educated scholar, you will not be unaware of the importance of the sea, if any people do not trade in the sea, can they still live? Surely not......"

"What do you mean? Say that Prussia is also engaged in maritime trade now? Haha, my Mr. Kevin, do you know how much of a threat this unsafe trade poses to a country? The Chinese are particular about not eating the food that comes from it, will your proud Prussia eat the leftovers of other people's rewards?"

"You need overseas colonies, you need safe shipping lanes in the oceans, this is the hope for the future of Prussia, please sober up......"

"Now Prussia's maritime trade volume is still very small, and Britain can't even smash such a bowl of rice at you, but have you ever thought that one day Prussia will unify the entire German nation, and then the territory controlled by the Prussian king will increase by four or five times, and the total economic volume will increase by more than ten times......"

Xiang Ying said with a sneer: "When the time comes, you Prussia will have to increase the volume of maritime trade by twenty times or more...... You need a base for raw materials, you need dumping grounds for industrial products, you need more supply ports for the ocean-going fleet, and when your strength is enough to threaten Britain's position, who do you think will reward you with this food?"
