If he were to say this ten thousand times, it would be better to see the truth with his own eyes. After all, ten thousand times of training in the training grounds was not as good as fighting on the battlefield.
This time, the battle of three-way groove had caused countless people to sober up, especially those crazy Japanese samurai. They touched the broken blades of the Katana, looking at the cavalry sabers that were not any weaker than their own, and all of them seemed to be deep in thought.
Mao Liyiyuan and Dao Jinfeiniao were the commanders in charge of the first round, they had a deep understanding of the fighting capabilities of the elite Cossack cavalry.
Mao Liyiyuan wrote in his summary of the battle, "I have to admit, the individual combat abilities of the Russian Army are indeed stronger than the Japanese samurai. They possess an even stronger physique and a skillful enough to kill with one strike.
"Furthermore, it's hard to describe that kind of valiant spirit. It's as if fighting to the death was innately, and there's no need for further training. This is a typical group of barbarians armed with Western technology. It's really a sad thing for the Kingdom of Qing to meet such a neighbor …"
Dao Jinfeiniao's report was even more straightforward. "To fight against the Russian soldier, one must change tactics, because what I learnt in Japan is now useless. The White Blade Assault that warriors are most proficient at is only effective under certain circumstances …"
"Fire, the future must be a time of fire and victory, because in this charge, I almost went to see the God of Heaven. If the snipers behind me hadn't noticed my danger and opened fire, I would have definitely died …"
"Furthermore, the biggest threat is those two field gun. In the stalemate before the charge, those two cannons caused too many casualties …"
Ye Qiu clapped his hands, "That's right. It's this type of meeting situation. I need to remind everyone that in the future, meetings like this will be held every day. No matter if there are battles or not, there will be regular meetings.
"The Prime Minister has said many times before that the history of war between human civilizations is actually a conflict between barbarism and civilization, a balance between firepower and defense … As far as the Ancient Rome Empire, the Han Empire was actually constantly threatened by the barbarians! "
"The Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germanic barbarians of the north, and the afterglow of civilization in the Han Empire was reduced to chaos. Song Dynasty's glorious civilization was no match for the iron cavalry sabres of the soldiers of the Liaoning Empire, and the Han Dynasty was conquered by even more barbaric women … "
"It wasn't until the rise of the Mongol Empire that the game of barbarian invasion reached its peak. At that time, the whole of Europe was shivering in front of a flood of Mongol cavalry. If it wasn't for the internal strife caused by the death of Wutai, who knows where those Expeditionary forces would have gone to …"
"Look, in the clash between barbarism and civilization, the civilized side is always at a disadvantage. This logic is actually very simple, isn't it obvious who will win in the battle between professional soldier and the professional farmers and artisans?"
Ye Qiu inculcated the Prime Minister's theory into these warriors. Although this knowledge wasn't the Prime Minister's creation, it didn't stop them from casting gazes of admiration towards him. At that moment, they all had a question in their hearts — was this Prime Minister from Eastsea, whom they had never met, a human or a god?
"Is there no way to solve this dilemma?" Ye Qiu answered, "Of course there is. This involves another crucial point. Fire and defense … …"
"In a cold weapon battle, whoever's stronger, faster, more agile in combat skills, the strength of the muscles and swords of humans, this is actually a type of firepower. Don't think that the firepower is just narrow Gun bullets …"
"As I said, the barbarians had an advantage over farmers and artisans in the civilized regions when they fought cold weapons." As I mentioned earlier, the barbarians had an advantage over farmers and artisans in the civilized regions when they fought cold weapons in the ancient times.
"At this time, if the civilized areas want to defeat barbarism, they have to rely on external forces. This is what we usually call the power of technology. "The Romans forged the Ironstone Legion with excellent craftsmanship, and the long-range Roman crossbows and catapults were a nightmare for the barbarians of the north for centuries."
"A series of conquest battles against the Huns during the Han Wu Emperor's era. The strong crossbows in the hands of the Han people rendered the Huns helpless. Li Ling and five thousand Han infantry were besieged by eighty thousand Hunters outside the fortress. He had been guarding the fortress for eight days and eight nights with the heavy crossbow and the infantry."
"In that battle, five thousand infantry killed more than ten thousand Huns, and in the end the Huns were still unable to win, until Li Ling ran out of bullets and was taken prisoner. "We can boldly assume that if Li Ling had carried twice as many crossbows, the outcome of that battle would have been vastly different …"
Ye Qiu sighed with emotion and said, "Incidentally, the author of this historical record, Sima Qian, was tortured because of the Li Ling case. Most of the second half of the historical record was written in prison!"
The Japanese was not unfamiliar with the names Sima Qian and Shi Ming, because Japan started introducing the Chinese culture from the Tang Dynasty on a large scale. At that time, Sima Qian and his Shi Li were already considered as classic historical books, and there were many fans in Shi Li and Si Ma Qian.
Mao Liyiyuan and Dao Jinfeiniao could not believe their own ears. If today's words were said by Prime Minister Xiao or by General Xiang, they would not be this shocked. They did not expect a sniper like Ye Qiu to be able to say such profound words.
The Japanese had already experienced the fighting strength of the Ryukyu Marines, they were convinced of it already, and at this moment, they were also intimidated by their vast and profound knowledge. This deep understanding of the history of the war, this sight was like a palm print, perhaps even the big elders of the Mu Clan and the Public official s of the capital could not compare.
Now he could finally see the benefits of Xiao Letian's investment in education. There were ten universities in the small Ryukyu and the education system was also powerful in the army, adding to that, Xiao Letian would only give officers and outstanding soldiers a small break whenever he had the time, this made the atmosphere in the army of the Ryukyu completely different from that of all the Asian armies at that time.
The warriors' self-esteem was being crushed time and time again. Mao Liyiyuan's head was lowered to the point that it almost reached his crotch.
He smiled and shook his head, "With history as a guide, we can take good care of the victors. The history of this place is always the same, the barbarians will soon be able to learn all the new inventions of the civilized area. Then, these new technologies will continue to attack the civilized area … …"
"After that, the hurt civilized world started upgrading their technology once again. This time, they began to take revenge on the barbarians. For thousands of years, civilization and savagery had been struggling with each other for so long …"
"Look at these Russian soldier, they have a fighting spirit that is even more barbaric than yours, but at the same time, they have also learned to use Western technology to arm their hands, do you really think that the Katana will still be useful in front of such strong enemies?"
"This is your first and most important lesson since you have come to the Far East. Honestly, if you do not have the will to wash yourselves clean, then do not persist!"
