Chapter 450: The War Begins (22)

"General Li, in fact, give foreign soldiers higher treatment, that is deserved, and it is also a matter of course!" Chen Fei said.

"What? Give foreign soldiers better treatment, that's how it should be? Li Jing was a little incomprehensible.

If it is based on ethnic proximity, it should be better treatment for one's own people, but Chen Fei actually said that higher treatment for foreigners should be given, and it should be taken for granted? This was simply a bit surprising, so Li Jing and everyone were a little surprised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since we Datang people are our citizens of Datang, we naturally have the obligation to protect our families and defend the country. This is their responsibility, because if they don't think about how to protect our country, then why should our country defend their interests? If they don't think about how to defend their homes and defend the country when foreign enemies invade, then our Datang will be destroyed, and they will all be bullied by foreign people. So this is their obligation, not a condition for them to receive income. Moreover, we may not give them any less, because they have also been given land. And land is the most valuable wealth, so since they have acquired it, that country is fighting for their interests, so why should we give them the best benefits? ”

Chen Fei was a little unkind when he said this. Because Chen Fei said that since he is a citizen of Datang, he naturally has the responsibility to protect national security. Since this is your responsibility, why should you ask for too many benefits from the state? Since this is his own obligation, he is naturally not qualified to ask for too high benefits. If the country is invaded by foreign peoples, then your personal wealth cannot be guaranteed. Aren't you fighting to protect your own wealth? Therefore, this is actually the obligation of an ordinary citizen of a country, and if you defend your family and country for that little military salary, then I am afraid that the country will perish sooner or later.

And they quickly understood. The reason why Chen Fei said that the Turks should be given higher treatment is justified. Because the Turks are not the people of the Tang Dynasty, they have no natural obligation to protect their families and defend the country, since they are fighting for the Tang Dynasty, they naturally want to give them higher benefits. They are all a group of mercenaries, and if you want to hire soldiers, of course, you have to come up with higher interests to maintain them. If you are a soldier in this country, you will not get as much as the ordinary soldiers of this country. But to carry out the most dangerous tasks, I am afraid that no one will do. If they are to be sent on the most dangerous mission, they have no obligation to protect the country. That naturally means giving them better treatment.

And these foreign soldiers are actually "sending to death" for their own soldiers, shouldn't they give their own substitutes better treatment? Even if you fool someone to die for you, then you have to settle down. Give away a considerable amount of money for selling your life! Therefore, these foreign soldiers who died for their own people should be treated better. It's not incomprehensible either. When they are paid, they are responsible for performing higher tasks, and they are responsible for more dangerous work, so that even if they die, it will not be so painful.

When everyone heard this, it was easy for everyone to understand what Chen Fei said. And this is to rely on foreigners to do the most dangerous tasks, and then give them better treatment, and then fool them into dying for their own people.

"But what if they don't want to rebel?" Chen Dade asked.

Chen Fei immediately shook his head and said, "Iron must be its own. Although we recruit foreign soldiers, it does not mean that we all rely on foreign soldiers to protect the country. We are still mainly based on our own soldiers. The knowledge of foreign soldiers is used to perform the most dangerous missions. Therefore, we must ensure that our own soldiers have a sufficient number, and foreign soldiers cannot exceed one-twentieth of our own soldiers, so as to ensure that even if they want to betray, they will not be able to resist. Our own soldiers are mainly responsible for performing relatively less dangerous things, so that the losses will not be too much, and the foreign soldiers can perform those life-and-death tasks for them, and then give them higher salaries, I think this kind of soldiers will also be willing to do. ”

"Of course, we must first maintain the strength of our army, and only if we continue to defeat the foreign tribes, can we recruit the foreign tribes into our army as this foreign soldier. On the other hand, we use cultural and ideological brainwashing as an aid, so that they are born with an inferiority complex about their own nationality and blood. Then we can put up obstacles for them to fight for naturalization. So that we can reap the benefits of it! ”

Chen Fei's approach is actually to imitate the so-called big countries in later generations. They have a lot of complicated conditions for those who want to become citizens of their country at a later date. For example, the French set up a foreign legion, and then fooled those foreigners to work hard, and then obtained French nationality. As for many countries, they have also set up a lot of corresponding conditions to deliberately exploit those foreigners. In fact, this means that they are not regarded as their own people at all, but as outsiders. However, there are still many people who are so happy that they are willing to pay a huge price in exchange for this so-called nationality passport.

Of course, Chen Fei also has to say that those who change their nationality may often be more loyal to those new nationalities. Why is that? Because they paid a lot of money to get this nationality, it seems valuable. And their original nationality, they acquired it without paying any price. What is obtained without paying any price, often no one will cherish. It's like a woman sent to the door, a man never cherishes it. Only those women who have worked so hard to catch up will be cherished.

Therefore, Chen Fei also imitated the methods of those foreigners, deliberately set up various obstacles for these foreign soldiers, and then made them pay a lot of money to obtain the identity of the Tang Dynasty. In this way, they tend to be more loyal to the country than many natural natives.

The history of the original Tang Dynasty is enough to show that the Tang Dynasty once included the people of the conquered areas into the category of its own people. But how do people repay themselves? Once the Tang Dynasty weakened, they immediately rebelled. An Lushan Shi Siming's Anshi Rebellion is enough to illustrate the facts, the identity of this Tang Dynasty person they got is too easy, and they don't know how to cherish it. Even, they don't think that Datang is their motherland, and they have obtained all kinds of Datang people's status and treatment without paying any price, and they will not cherish it.
