Section 408 out of thinking and means dumbfounded
The white youth plucked up the courage to be the first to sign up and introduce themselves.
The auditorium was too big, he was too far away from the podium, and he couldn't see Zhao Yue's appearance clearly, for fear that Zhao Yue wouldn't be able to hear his request clearly and not notice him, so he raised his hands very high, shouted loudly, and his voice trembled a little, revealing the excitement and nervousness in his heart.
No one on the island knew what Zhao Yue was going to do at today's meeting.
Zhao Yue's father communicated with Zhao Yue about the Goryeo strategy, and he concentrated on recuperating from his illness.
He, who is Lao Tzu, knows the magic of the young son better, and is more superstitious about the young son's ability and judgment than other people in the empire, believing that no one is more intelligent than the young son in such a big matter. If the young son's method does not work, then other people's will not work.
Yesterday, the father and son had a secret conversation, and after a little hesitation, he resolutely decided that this war would be fought according to the extremely crazy adventure plan of the young son.
It's not a big deal if you lose.
Young sons can help their families build a powerful empire at a young age, create one miracle after another, and now they are even more capable when they grow up. In case the Northern Army is crippled, it can be rebuilt. This little thing is not difficult for young children.
Besides, the two of them have worked so hard over the years, mainly to make their families safer and better, their family inheritance, and worthy of their ancestors. This goal has been achieved, and all that remains is for the two sons to realize their dreams and ambitions. Let your child do whatever he wants.
This is a little selfishness as a father and indulgence of the child.
Zhao Yue chatted with the generals last night and communicated his feelings, but he didn't mention the war at all, but then he deliberately talked with Du Yan and Xiao Jiasui alone, and discussed the situation in Goryeo for a while.
Du Yan and Xiao Jiasui were extremely shocked by Zhao Yue's arrogant plan at that time, and pinched a cold sweat, but when they saw that Zhao Yue had made up his mind, they did not persuade him, and immediately turned their thinking to how to improve and implement this crazy plan, and after discussing it, they went back.
During this period, Zhao Yue did not say how tomorrow's meeting would be held. The two didn't ask.
At this point, what was needed in the battle of Goryeo was a decisive decision, and everything else was trivial and irrelevant.
Therefore, at this time, even Du Yi and Xiao Jiasui didn't understand what Zhao Yue's intention was to not discuss the main topic at such a major and serious meeting, but to engage in 'acquaintance' like a child's play. Others are even less convinced.
Zhao Yue's words are widely spread in both the military and political circles of the empire: You know me, it may not be lucky; Not knowing is not necessarily a bad thing.
This prince is too mysterious for anyone to guess what he is thinking.
Therefore, now jumping out and showing his face in front of Zhao Yue to get acquainted, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Let this prince remember himself, and he may rise to prominence from now on, or he may become the target of the prince.
Unfathomable consequences.
The officers in the auditorium almost instantly turned their heads to stare at the white youth, trying to see which one was so courageous (brainless).
The white young man felt great pressure in the many complex eyes that were secretive, his face became red, he was so nervous that he sweated in an instant, his raised hand trembled, he wanted to let go and give up, but with a little dependence, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Zhao Yue did not respond immediately.
He smiled and glanced at the white young man in armor, and after waiting for a while, he saw that the alien officer gritted his teeth and insisted on resisting the pressure, and then said with a smile: "Very good, you are very courageous." The first thing a soldier needs is courage and perseverance. ”
The white young man was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately relaxed a lot, but he was still very nervous, and the sweat was still flowing rapidly on his face.
Zhao Yue smiled: "Don't be nervous. Hehe, I'm not the demon Satan who is rampant in your hometown, and I don't eat people. ”
When the white officer heard Zhao Yue joking with him, he instinctively smirked a few times and stood up.
Zhao Yue smiled: "Very good. Now you can briefly introduce your name, hometown, former occupation, and current level.
Your Chinese is good, but you should speak it more fluently in your native dialect. Just use a normal voice.
Don't worry I can't hear what you're saying and yell at you. Don't doubt that I can't see your face clearly, and I won't know you in the future. The farther you stand, I can see that there is a reddish mole on the right side of your chin that looks like a sesame seed. ”
When the white young officer heard this, his majestic body shook, and the gaze cast at Zhao Yue revealed an incredulous shock of extreme shock.
The officers around him were also shocked.
If they hadn't gotten close and looked at it deliberately, they wouldn't have noticed that there was a red mark on the face of this fellow fellow of the same race.
The officers who were a little farther away did not concentrate their eyes and did not notice the slightest feature of the white officer's chin.
Oh my God, you can see it from so far away?
Prince Puji, what kind of eyes are these?
Could it be that he is really a god who came into the world?
There was an exclamation in the auditorium.
The white officer, perhaps frightened too much, was not nervous, straightened up, and was noticeably more excited, and still spoke loudly in the language of his homeland: "Report to the noble prince, my name is Caron. Stull, once a subordinate of the Duke of Plywell, a bodyguard of the beautiful and sacred Princess Jennifer, is now a captain of the Horse Army. ”
The so-called Princess Jennifer is the name of Zhao Yue's girlfriend Nat in this life, and the Duke of Plywell is Nat's father in this life.
In his previous life, Zhao Yue was proficient in many European Chinese languages in order to better understand the original papers of science and technology, and he understood as soon as he heard it: no wonder this kid was so courageous and confident that he dared to jump out first, it turned out to be Nat's person. This kid knows very well that I have a soft spot for his princess, pampered and indulged, and with the princess as a strong supporter, he is naturally more fearless......
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Caron again with interest, and asked in German, "You were the first to cross the sea with the Duke of Plywell?" The family has now moved to the East? ”
It was not at all surprising that Zhao Yue would speak his native language fluently.
In his heart, his master, the little princess, was as smart and magical as a god. The lover of the little princess will naturally not be mortal.
His chest was raised higher, and he proudly reported loudly in his native language: "Yes, Your Highness. ”
"My family is the most loyal servant of the Venerable Duke of Plywell, and has been loyal to the Duke's family for several generations, and many have died in battle. I have two older brothers and three sisters, the youngest son in the family, and I am honored to be the bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Little Princess. When the little princess was going to explore the East, Caron naturally had to follow the guards fearlessly.
Today, my uncles, aunts, sisters, and other people have moved to the heavenly New World of the Empire and are living the happy life of their dreams. My second brother, third sister, and three brothers-in-law were all intelligent and learned people, and they were specially taught by the princess very early, and they helped the little princess build the motorized steamship that came to the East, and now they are all working hard in the imperial scientific research institutions.
My eldest sister and second sister took care of the little princess and grew up, both of whom are proficient in Chinese and are now language teachers at Imperial University. But my father and eldest brother are still serving with His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping to help preserve and expand the territory of the Plywell family. ”
Zhao Yue understood.
The Stuart family is still loyal to the old master, but the other members of the family and relatives do not want to live in a terrible Europe that is repeatedly tortured by wars, plagues, religious beliefs disputes, etc., and when they heard that the imperial life is a paradise on earth, they resolutely abandoned their hometown to live a comfortable and beautiful life, became a member of the empire, fought for the empire, and continued to be loyal to and take care of the old master.
Patriarch Stuart continued to stay in Europe with the eldest son of the heir to follow and help the son of the old lord and maintain the European roots.
At this time, Germany was still only a loose alliance of many nobles, not a country in the real sense, and did not have the qualifications to single-handedly challenge Europe or even the world as a world power, and the famous Great German Empire was far from being formed.
Zhao Yue sent troops to Europe to support and protect Nat's only remaining brother in this life, and help the Plyvier family expand their power and unify Germany, in addition to taking special care of his girlfriend's relationship, he also has long-term strategic goals.
Germany's geographical location, like China's, was the land of four wars, and its fate was actually very similar, and it was destined to be impossible to live in friendship and harmony with other countries in the course of history.
Helping to build a united and powerful Germany and forming an alliance with it could break the old European order and provide an indirect and long-term containment of European power and development for the Reich.
The other is to facilitate the plundering of Europe's technical talents and material wealth.
The empire has the Plyvier family controlled the territory as the foundation and foothold of Europe, which is convenient for trade, and it is more convenient to bring those craftsmen or commoners or slaves who have certain skills or specialties but live a lowly and miserable life, as well as families with smart and clever children, to the Eastern Empire to serve and cultivate assimilation by means of trade exchange, seduction, abduction, and even kidnapping.
With the continuous chaos of war and jihad in Europe, a large number of prisoners of war and occupied alien races were produced.
It is a pity that the Eastern Empire is willing to buy them as slaves, and the rulers of all sides are overjoyed, and they all waste and sell the prisoners of war and the disobedient foreign people in exchange for wonderful Oriental goods for the pleasure of luxury.
However, no matter how large the fleet of the Eastern Empire came to trade, the amount of loading at one time was also limited, and the distance was too long, which also caused the interval between each trade to Europe was very long.
In order to deal with these unstable and even dangerous populations in a timely manner in exchange for the coveted expensive and wonderful goods from the East, in order to try to weaken the opponent or secure new territory, there is an absurd and extremely cold scene in Europe, and all parties are vying to actively contact the Cangzhao Ocean Commerce, compete to curry favor, and sell people at a lower price.
The cheapness of the fire sale quickly grew to jaw-dropping proportions.
For example, a refined Oriental porcelain bowl made of mud, or a small bottle of Oriental wine and perfume can be exchanged for hundreds of young captives. In this case, the seller had to work hard, to praise and compare and prove that the prisoners of war and the population he sold were the most capable of fighting and working, or that they were very useful.
Those who are useless or unwanted, such as old people, crippled fools, and the like, are mercilessly slaughtered in the war.
In Zhao Yue's previous life, the West always liked to accuse and ridicule the East for being barbaric, ignorant, dirty, uneducated, and lacking gentlemanly manners, and their own race was actually more barbaric, cruel and dirty, but later they developed and became strong, so they had the qualifications and strength to despise and insult the weak.
A south/sea dispute/end, the West can freely plunder the resources there, and at the same time easily provoke trouble, so as to watch the dispute from a long distance.
This proves that bandit logic and pragmatism are so effective, and that they are so conducive to the development of the state and the nation and to intervene in the world. If you can't interfere in the world, you can't be a real power. Believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, in addition to self-deception,, there is a fart.
Otherwise, the clowns of small countries are arrogant and provocative, and the big countries can still gnaw without teeth? As soon as the opponent plays some tricks and speaks wildly, how can the so-called world's second largest economy only hurry up to explain one on the left and one on the right to discuss and speak?
said that it was ignored, but in fact it was not embarrassing to cooperate with the opponent to play a farce, which made the West despise and laugh off the big teeth, which made people dry and depressed.
A large number of prisoners of war from Europe were incorporated into the Death Army when they arrived in the Empire, and they were specially used as exploration pioneers and cannon fodder for the regular army of the Empire; In the rest of the population, men became heavy physical construction teams such as building roads, opening waterways, mining, and farming, but in this treatment, if these people did not have a strong rebellious spirit, they quickly became madly fond of the new life of the empire and were willing to work hard.
Because there is no war, no hunger, no plague, no irrational bloody religious disputes, no powerful people or any forces wantonly beat, rape/rob or even kill their wives and daughters in a fit of rage, there are too many magical new things that have never been heard of or even seen, such as the magic electric light that can turn night into day.
As long as they are obedient and work hard, pay attention to hygiene, and actively integrate into the atmosphere of the new empire, no one here will trample on them at will, they and their families are tired, but they live cleanly, without worrying about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and finally like individuals, which is impossible to get in Europe no matter how tired and hard, the most important thing is that they will not die in war, hunger and other disasters casually, and they can see and even touch good hope.
The terrible environment in Europe made the Westerners who came to the empire feel like they had reached a paradise of happiness that they could never have dreamed of.
Some of the news reached Europe, intentionally or unintentionally, causing a frenzy.
I heard that the magical empire likes to recruit beautiful, healthy and intelligent girls from the West, so countless beautiful and capable Western civilian girls dream of going to the legendary beautiful Oriental world to live, as long as they can go, even if they go to be slaves, if they are lucky enough to marry Han Chinese, it will be too happy.
Whenever the ocean-going trade fleet arrives at a place, there will be a large number of young girls frantically flocking, many of their parents also hope that their daughters will be taken away, many of them actively send their daughters to chase after them, in order to let their daughters be taken away, they kneel down and exchange their pitiful little property for ......
Life is so realistic.
If her daughter can be taken away, even if she is a servant in the magical and powerful Eastern Empire, it is a hundred times stronger than in this terrible hometown full of filth, blood, cruelty, hunger, and no good hope and dignity. If the daughter goes, then their family may have the opportunity to go too.
This phenomenon stunned the European magnates, as well as the members of the ocean-going trading fleet.
The citizens of the Greater East Asian Empire were stunned when they learned of this phenomenon, followed by endless pride. Those who have a heart and a wise heart begin to reflect deeply.
Many people who were criticized and attacked in the new empire because they were accustomed to believing in the distorted way of Confucius and Mencius, being accustomed to the rough patriarchy of the Han people, being accustomed to arranged forced marriages, being accustomed to preferring sons over women, and not allowing their daughters to go to school, and so on, were criticized and attacked in the new empire, especially those who were once extremely poor and backward but stubbornly ignorant and conservative.
