"Mr. Chen, our instructors have complained to me that they want to resign and leave, they feel that these soldiers of yours are too difficult to teach, and they want to return to China!" Bismarck said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What's going on? Why do you Prussian instructors complain? Chen Dingtian asked.

Bismarck replied: "Mr. Chen, our instructors have complained that the teaching efficiency is too low, and it is not at all comparable to that of the British. They were very quick to teach one by one, but our instructors were obviously very slow, and they felt very embarrassed. He said that the Chinese soldiers were too bad, too bad, to be able to be a strong army. So they didn't have faith and chose to go back. ”

Next, Chen Dingtian went to see the troops trained by Chen Dingtian's instructors in several countries, and these troops were divided into ten companies, according to Chen Dingtian's idea, four of these ten companies were actually German instructors, and the other six were three British and three French. Among them, the instructor also serves as the company commander, and each company is equipped with one or two interpreters. And these translators are all English translations, and in this unit, Chen Dingtian asked those instructors to use English as the language of communication. Because it is too difficult to find French translators and German translators in China, but there are many English translators, and there are many in Guangdong, just go to Guangdong and hire some. Fortunately, Britain and France have long been prepared according to Chen Dingtian's requirements, and the instructors transferred from China are all proficient in English.

But then Chen Dingtian saw this situation, the training progress of these troops was obviously the fastest of the British, and the training progress of the British was actually twice that of the Germans. And the training progress in France is actually 1.5 times that of Germany.

"Oh my God! What's going on with this? Isn't Germany the number one army in the world? Why is it exactly the other way around? Chen Dingtian thought in shock.

Chen Dingtian felt very shocked and surprised, because this was simply a wonder. Maybe people in this era think that France is the world's first army, but Chen Dingtian knows that Germany is the world's first army in this era, and the later German army is the world's first army, which is recognized by the whole world. However, in this era, Chen Dingtian knew very well that Germany had the strongest army and was a very powerful army country.

In second place is France, the world's most powerful country, and Britain can only rank in the top three in terms of land forces. But in this training situation, it seems that the progress is completely reversed. The British instructors trained twice as fast, and even at a faster rate, France trained faster than Germany. As for Germany, it is the slowest.

"It's not scientific! Germany is the world's largest army, how can it train so slowly? With the same training syllabus, why are the Germans so slow to train? What went wrong? Chen Dingtian touched his head and thought.

However, Bismarck said: "Our Prussian instructors said that the level of cultural quality of your Chinese is so low, and our Prussian instructors often have to explain many times before they can explain clearly." Even those translators have a headache, and a lot of the terms about our army do not understand. He said that the level of cultural quality of your Chinese is too poor, and you have not experienced compulsory education at all, so you do not have the foundation to become the world's first army. For example, in our Prussian Army, almost every soldier has a primary school education, and what these instructors say can be understood at one time, and there is no need to explain it so many times. ”

"Oh? I see, it turns out that the root is here! Chen Dingtian finally understood what was going on.

Chen Dingtian heard Bismarck's statement and immediately knew what the specific situation was. The strength of the German Army is not because of how scientific their training methods are, but because of the background behind them. According to Chen Dingtian's memory, Prussia has a deep history of compulsory education, and there was a prototype of compulsory education from the time of the Duchy of Weimar in Germany, and more than 100 years ago, the king of Prussia also ordered the implementation of compulsory education. King Wilhelm I of Prussia was a notoriously miserly who was not willing to pay for the construction of the capital Berlin himself, but instead mobilized donations from wealthy merchants.

But the miser did one thing, and that was to stipulate that all the people of Prussia must receive compulsory education, that is, the earliest compulsory education. They stipulate that every child should go to school, and if families cannot afford school fees, the government can pay for them.

This is the first compulsory education, but this notoriously miser is very sloppy, obviously throwing money here. At first, compulsory education in Germany was very questionable, and this Prussian king Wilhelm I forced it. Of course, the earliest compulsory education in Germany was not a full-time study. Even the earliest compulsory education in Germany did not work very well, not only the students were simple, but they also had to go back to help their parents with things when they were busy with farming. Even many teachers are part-time, and many of these teachers are part-time teachers in various other craftsmen and professions. The level of teachers is also uneven, and many teachers have to "recharge" themselves in the teaching process.

But no one can deny the greatness of this compulsory education, although it was not very good at first, but decades have passed. At that time, compulsory education had been gradually professionalized, and even after decades of accumulation, it laid the foundation for Germany's development. Because of the gradual development of compulsory education, Germany has provided a large number of talents in science, technology, industry, military and so on. The quality of the population in Germany has improved rapidly, and it is almost much more powerful than that of the United Kingdom.

Every Prussian soldier has a primary school education, and that's great. Perhaps many people in later generations thought that a high school degree was required for conscription, thinking that it had always been like this. But in this day and age, it is not easy to have a primary school degree. A person with a primary school education is fully qualified to compete for public office in the government, which is unimaginable for future generations.

The reason why the German Army is the first army in the world is not mainly based on weapons, or weapons are only a factor in the bottom ranking. The reason why they really became the world's No. 1 Army is that their soldiers are highly qualified, very familiar with the understanding of war and various tactics, coupled with various cultural qualities, which give them an amazing learning ability. Having a sufficient cultural foundation to make them competent in all aspects is the support of the German Army to be the first in the world.

"This is really difficult, although Germany is the first army in the world, but I don't have the foundation to imitate them." Chen Dingtian felt Alexander.

Originally, Chen Dingtian thought that Prussia was the first army in the world, France was second, and Britain was third. But now the situation is just the opposite, although Germany is the world's largest army, but it cannot learn itself. Compulsory education has been practiced for almost 150 years, providing an incomparably huge foundation for the accumulation of the quality of their population, so that the quality of their population is very good, and this is the reason why they are the world's first army.

But for Chen Dingtian, it doesn't have the kind of foundation that Germany has at all. Originally, Chen Dingtian thought that after he crossed over, he would go to Germany to study the army according to the method of crossing his predecessors, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Germany is certainly the world's largest army, but its success cannot be replicated by China. Many time-travelers blindly pursue the world's first army, but they do not notice that the German army training method is not something that China can imitate and learn at will in this era. It is an inescapable fact that China does not have the same high quality of population as Germany.

If China is forced to learn from the German Army, it will only be able to draw a tiger and not an anti-dog.

"It seems that I have made a dogmatic mistake, and it seems that with the current quality of the Chinese population, it is indeed impossible to imitate the German army. The army that imitated the Germans ended up harming others and itself, and dogmatism killing others! Luckily I found out in time, otherwise I'd have been in real trouble. If the rebel army of this Heaven and Earth Society had been thinking according to German training, it would probably not have been able to become an army in time in the end. However, the training of the British, it stands to reason that they have the worst army among the world powers, but how can they train so much faster than the Germans? Chen Dingtian thought suspiciously.

But soon, Chen Dingtian clearly discovered the characteristics of this British instructor. The characteristics of this British instructor are very simple, those British instructors do not use any terms to describe the training process, they directly use "big vernacular", and they do not drag the text to train at all. The British instructors seem to be very familiar with the characteristics of those Tiandihui soldiers, and even adjusted and revised the syllabus a little bit, fine-tuning it without violating the central idea of the syllabus, which is more suitable for these Tiandihui soldiers. This made Chen Dingtian innocently surprised, this British instructor seems to be very shrewd!

"Sir, how can you train so well!" Chen Dingtian asked.

The British instructor replied, "It's actually very simple! You soldiers are much better than the native soldiers in India, and the garbage in Africa. In fact, I have trained local native soldiers in many places, and according to the foreigners I have trained, it is actually you Chinese who have trained the best! You Chinese are simple, do not have so many miscellaneous ideas, and habitually obey your superiors, so I train very well. And I've tweaked their features a bit, which has made them a lot faster. I have to say that your Chinese population has the potential to become the world's outstanding soldiers. ”

"Hey, I'm so short-tempered, the same people, different instructors, actually have different evaluations? The British say that they have the potential of the world's top army, but Germany belittles it, so who is right? Oh, I see, it seems that what suits you is the right one, you can't blindly pursue the world's first army of the Germans! Chen Dingtian quickly understood why.

Chen Dingtian understood that in fact, the German training method is not suitable for the Chinese at this stage. Of course, it is only the Chinese at this stage, and if the quality of the Chinese population improves in the future, it is not impossible to learn from Germany. However, at least at this stage of poor cultural quality, it is not possible to blindly imitate the German Army. In later generations, the Chinese Army gradually became stronger, but in fact, it was not because it imitated anyone, but it found a set of training and various methods that were most suitable for China's national conditions, and this was the most suitable for China's national conditions.

Blindly imitating others will not be able to succeed, and in the end it will inevitably be a tiger that cannot become an anti-dog. Many traversers blindly imitate Germany, thinking that Germany is the best, and the best must be suitable for themselves? However, they also ignore why Germany is so powerful, but that they have more than 100 years of compulsory education behind them.

Blindly pursuing Germany, that will not work. On the contrary, the British have accumulated a lot of experience in this area, and the British colonies are all over the world, and the British colonies have various civilizations, and the natives of various civilizations and cultures have them. It is impossible for the British to exhaust all the native population as an army, and they will recruit a lot of local "native soldiers" to train and form an army, which can be regarded as a kind of "puppet army".

However, the instructors of the British have the conditions that Germany does not have, and the instructors of the British are "well-informed", and they have accumulated many civilizations for a long time, including East Asian, West Asian, African, South Asian and other civilizations. The British instructors often had to train soldiers with different cultures, languages, and customs, so that they had a lot of experience.

In fact, if we want to talk about the comprehensive quality of the instructors, in fact, the British are the best, because they can quickly adapt to the culture and living customs of those soldiers, so that they can listen to their own words and adjust the training program in combination with the culture and living customs of the "native soldiers". Britain had much more experience in training native soldiers of a variety of complex foreign cultures. However, the German army instructors obviously do not have this experience, they are only adapted to train their own population to become soldiers, they do not have so many complicated experience in dealing with soldiers of various civilizations, and the German instructors completely follow the "dogmatic" method for the soldiers of the Heaven and Earth Society, and cannot accurately adjust according to the characteristics of Chinese soldiers, which is too dogmatic.

On the contrary, Britain is the best at this, and these instructors are obviously experienced and know how to deal with soldiers of different civilizations and cultures, and take the initiative to adapt to the characteristics of these soldiers, rather than forcing soldiers to adapt to themselves. That's why Britain trains so fast.

"It seems that I want the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society to go to England to study the Army, not to study with Germany. The German Army, though strong, was not suitable for us, and at this stage, the flexible training of the British was conducive to the learning of our soldiers. Chen Dingtian thought secretly.
