Chapter 58 Major General's Past II
The biggest hotbed of revolutionary ideology comes from a group of enthusiastic young people. Hoping for a new vision and a desire for change are the common ideals of this group of enthusiastic young people. And when this group of idealistic young people has the power of change, a revolution that sweeps the world will unfold vigorously.
βThe Autobiography of Terry, Vol. 37
The Royal Imperial Military Academy is the first comprehensive college dedicated to cultivating military command talents in Bluestar, including command disciplines at all levels of the three branches of the infantry, artillery and navy, and also refines various grassroots academic education, so it was a holy place for military commanders from all over the world to aspire to.
When Major General Oplar was selected to enter the academy, the empire still belonged to the glorious era of the Wanbang dynasty, so the military exchanges with some friendly countries were not closed, so there were many exchange students from foreign countries in the entire Royal Military Academy.
Although the people in the entire academy come from all over the world, even people from different continents, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all young people.
So overall, the atmosphere of the whole college is very good.
Of course, the different hobbies and their respective experiences have divided the students in the academy into small circles.
The children of the nobles naturally have less than the same pot of urine as the civilian students, and many of these exchange students from the Takilian Empire are from civilian backgrounds, so Major General Oplar has become the most popular person among the exchange students of the Takilian Empire.
Shi Yexuan, a member of the Wasi tribe with black hair and black eyes, it was during this time that Major General Oplar established a deep friendship with him.
Shi Yexuan looks taciturn on the outside, but he is a very wise person on the inside, unlike other Wasi people who only look at the one acre and three points of land in front of him, although he is also an authentic Wasi people, but his "ambition" is very big.
At the age of 12, Shi Yexuan followed a caravan to the north and south, and before joining the army, Shi Yexuan had traveled to nearly half of the countries on the planet, and even followed the fleet to another continent.
At that time, it belonged to the era when commercial capital began to sprout, and the emergence of steam power made the whole world enter a period of rapid industrial development, followed by the rapid expansion of commercial capital.
At that time, the Blue Flag Empire swept across the world, and under the blow of the powerful Blue Flag army, the ruling class of many countries fell into the most weakened period, and in this context, many commercial capitals that had swelled into giant beasts began to germinate political demands.
The superstructure has collapsed, the social order is naturally chaotic, the people at the bottom are miserable, and the business groups have political demands.
Shi Yexuan, who had been following the caravan from south to north, had a different vision and insight from ordinary people, and when he came into contact with this kind of political ideology that germinated from the business group, he quickly accepted it.
With the political ideology to guide the change, and with the strong capital backing, the only condition for the business group to achieve its own political demands is military power, after all, in any era, the power of the gun is the unchanging truth, so the young Shi Yexuan was sent into the army of the Takilian Empire.
Shi Yexuan, who entered the army, relied on his own ability, coupled with the funding of the business group behind him, and soon gained the reuse of the army of the Takilian Empire.
After gaining a certain status in the army, Shi Yexuan began to have greater demands, but at this time, peace seemed to have suddenly come to this world, and the Blue Flag Empire, which had almost subdued the entire world, suddenly shrank its troops and became the center of the world, enjoying the glory of the coming dynasty of all nations.
Without the war, it would have become very difficult for Shi Yexuan to climb up, so entering the Advanced Military Academy has become Shi Yexuan's only option.
Money can make ghosts grind, this is a hard truth in any era, and under the promotion of the business group behind Shi Yexuan, he soon got this opportunity - to follow the military exchange group of the Takilian Empire to the Blue Flag Empire for study and exchange.
Shi Yexuan and Oprah, two young people from civilian backgrounds, soon walked together, one was a new-style soldier with lofty ideals, and the other was a hot-blooded young man like a blank sheet of paper, one with the intention of teaching and the other with the intention of learning.
Soon, Shi Yexuan's thoughts burned like a spark in Oprah's young heart.
The exchange and study time is not very long, but it is this short period of a few months, so that Opral's life has been qualitatively sublimated, and in the interaction with Shi Yexuan, not only saw a lot of things that have not been heard before, but also learned a lot of new political ideas, so that the smart Oprah saw a new future.
Although this kind of future is still far away for a cadet with the rank of second lieutenant, as Shi Yexuan said to him, time will only be lost, but thoughts can be eternal. As long as we work hard, there will always be a time when advanced ideas suitable for the times will shine.
It was under the support of this kind of thinking that Oprah had the idea of working as hard to climb the status as Shi Yexuan, and after graduation, although the two were not together, they often exchanged letters, exchanged experiences with each other, and encouraged each other, thanks to the help of business groups, these letters were very secretive.
Soon, with the fall of Miller the Great, the Blue Banner Empire began to lose its axial dominance, not only did many noble warlords begin to appear in the country did not obey the orders of the court, most of the countries that submitted to the Blue Flag Empire began to become independent, but at this time, the Emperor Sconf who came to power was completely different from Miller the Great, incompetent, addicted to wine, and ignored the government, so he was indifferent to the changes in these countries.
This continued until the summer, 12 years after Emperor Sconf came to power, when the warships of the Royal Navy, a new maritime power, knocked on the gates of the Blue Flag Empire.
The Empire's old steam ironclad ships were bombarded into the East China Sea by the new cannons of the Kigar Empire, and the two Imperial fleets that once dominated the four seas were powerless in front of the Kira Empire's medium fleet of only three ironclad battleships.
The fleet guarding the coastal defense was completely annihilated, and the lax coastal defense facilities were even more vulnerable, and it was at this time that the country began to realize that it was no longer the central power that it used to be.
It is a pity that the high-level and the emperor did not change because of this, but collected a large number of various taxes on the grounds of strengthening their armaments. If this is done, it is really for the purpose of strengthening military preparedness, and there is nothing wrong with this kind of national crisis.
However, in fact, the entire empire from top to bottom is almost using this opportunity for personal gain, and officials at all levels have even stacked the amount of levy, making the people of the entire Blue Flag Empire miserable.
However, for some reason, the Kigar Empire did not land on the mainland of the Empire, and after destroying the Imperial fleet, it only sent marines to seize some islands overseas from the Empire, and returned to the Kigar Empire two months later.
