If the truth is explained 10,000 times, it is better to see the truth with your own eyes, and 10,000 times of training on the training ground is not as good as a tragic fight on the battlefield.

This battle of Sandaogou sobered up countless people, especially those fanatical Japanese samurai, who felt the broken blade of the sword, looked at the captured cavalry sabers that were no less than their weapons, and thought about it one by one.

Mori and Shimazu Asuka were the commanders in charge of the first notched charge, and they knew the fighting power of the elite Cossack cavalry.

In his post-war summary report, Mori Kazugen wrote, "I must admit that the individual combat effectiveness of the Russian army is indeed superior to that of the Japanese samurai, who have a more powerful physique, have skilled killing skills, and have the efficiency of killing with one blow without the slightest show-off......"

"And it's hard to describe that kind of brave spirit, fighting to the death seems to be innate, without later training, this is a group of typical barbarians but armed with Western technology, it is really a very sad thing for Qing to meet such a neighbor......"

Shimazu Asuka's report was more blunt: "Fighting with Russian soldiers requires a change of tactics, and what was learned in Japan is no longer useful, and the samurai's best white-knuckle assault can only work in certain circumstances......"

"Firepower, the future must be the era of firepower victory, because in this charge, I almost went to see Amaterasu, if it wasn't for the snipers in the back who immediately discovered my crisis and fired, I would have died in battle......"

"And the biggest threat is those two field guns, and the casualties caused by those two guns are too great in the stalemate phase before the charge......"

Ye Qiu clapped his hands, "That's right, it's this kind of meeting state, I need to remind everyone, in the future, meetings like this will be held every day, whether there is combat or not, there will be routine meetings, this is a process of experience sharing, everyone must speak......"

"The Prime Minister has said many times that the history of war in human civilization is actually a conflict between barbarism and civilization, a balance between firepower and defense...... As far as the ancient Roman Empire, the Han Empire was actually threatened by barbarian peoples all the time!"

"The Roman Empire was destroyed by the Germanic barbarians of the north, and the afterglow of civilization of the Han Empire was reduced to the point of chaos. The glorious civilization of the Song Dynasty was no match for the iron cavalry and long swords of the soldiers of the Liao State, and the Liao State, which had accepted the sinicization, was conquered by the more barbaric Jurchens......"

"Until the rise of the Mongol Empire, the game of barbarian invasion had reached its heyday, when the whole of Europe trembled in the face of the torrent of Mongol cavalry, and if it weren't for the internal struggle for power triggered by the death of Ogedei, those expeditionary forces would have gotten to know where they would go......"

"Look, in the clash of barbarism and civilization, the side of civilization always loses, the truth is actually very simple, professional soldiers and professional farmers and craftsmen fight, isn't it clear who wins and who loses?"

Ye Qiu instilled the prime minister's ideological theory into these warriors in simple terms, although this knowledge was not original to the prime minister, but this did not prevent these warriors from casting their adoring gaze, and at that moment they all had a question in their hearts, whether the prime minister of the East China Sea, who had never met, was a human or a god.

"Isn't there a way to solve this dilemma?" Ye Qiu asked himself, "Of course there is, this will involve another key point, firepower and defense ......"

"Cold weapon combat, who fights with greater strength, faster speed, more flexible and effective fighting skills, human muscle power wielding swords, this is actually a kind of firepower, don't think that firepower is a narrow foreign gun bullet......"

"As I just said, when the barbarians fought with cold weapons in ancient times, they were born with an advantage over farmers and craftsmen in civilized areas, just like the old Maozi we met, with a strong physique, great strength and scary, don't look down on sabers, but their wielding power is quite terrifying......"

"At this time, if a civilized region wants to defeat barbarism, it must rely on external forces, which is what we usually call the power of science and technology. The Romans used sophisticated casting technology to create steel Roman legions, as well as long-range Roman crossbows and trebuchets that have been a nightmare for the northern barbarians for hundreds of years......"

"During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a series of conquests against the Xiongnu, the strong crossbows in the hands of the Han people made the Hun cavalry helpless, when Li Ling with 5,000 Han infantry was besieged by 80,000 Hun cavalry outside the Saiwai, he relied on strong bows and crossbows and infantry formations to defend for eight days and eight nights......"

In that battle, 5,000 infantry killed more than 10,000 Hun cavalry, and in the end, the Huns were still unable to win, and they were captured until Li Ling ran out of ammunition and food. We can boldly assume that if Li Ling's crossbow arrows could have doubled the number of crossbows at that time, maybe the outcome of that battle would have been very different......"

Ye Qiu said with great emotion, "By the way, the author of the historical records, Sima Qian, was dragged down by Li Ling's case and was corrupted, and many of the second half of the historical records were written in prison!"

The Japanese are no strangers to the names of Sima Qian and the Historical Records, because Japan began to introduce the culture of the Han nation on a large scale from the Tang Dynasty, and at that time Sima Qian and his Historical Records were already classic historical books, and there were really many fans of the Japanese Historical Records and Sima Qian.

Maori One Yuan and Shimazu Asuka couldn't believe their ears, if today's words were said by Prime Minister Xiao Cheng or General Xiang, they would not be so shocked, but they didn't expect a sniper like Ye Qiu to be able to say such a profound truth.

The Japanese had already seen the combat effectiveness of the Ryukyu Marines, and they had already been convinced, and at this moment they were shocked by the profound knowledge of these people, and this deep understanding of history and war, this kind of overall situation like a view of the palm of the hand, I am afraid that even the elders of the shogunate and the ministers of Kyoto sighed to themselves.

At this moment, I finally saw the benefits of Xiao Letian's investment in education, there were ten universities in the small Ryukyus, and the army strongly promoted education, plus Xiao Lotian would personally open a small stove for officers and outstanding soldiers only when he was free, which made the style of the Ryukyu army completely different from all the Asian armies at that time.

The samurai's self-esteem was crushed again and again, Maori Yuan's head was almost down to the crotch of his pants, and Shimazu Asuka was helplessly writhing with a dead grass in his hand, and an inferiority complex filled their hearts.

Ye Qiu keenly noticed the changes in the mood of these warriors, and shook his head with a smile, "Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall, things in history are often changed skin and not meat, and the new inventions in the civilized region will soon be learned by the barbarians, and then these new technologies will in turn attack the civilized region......"

"Then the wounded civilized world started to upgrade its technology again, and then took revenge on the barbarians again, civilization and barbarism have been so entangled for thousands of years that they have been reincarnated back to the present......"

"Look at these Russian soldiers, they have a more savage fighting spirit than you, but at the same time they have learned to arm their hands with Western technology, do you really think the sword is still useful in the face of such a strong enemy?"

"This is your first and most important lesson in the Far East, and to be honest, if you don't have the consciousness to clean yourself into a blank slate, then don't stick to it anymore!"
