Chapter 335: Generation Difference! The Electric Age VS the Steam Age!
It's a generational battle!
This is how Li Mengyang felt when he walked on the battlefield of the United States Army, which had been ravaged by artillery fire.
Just the craters, the black smoke, and the horrified look on the faces of the United States captives, they had never seen anything like it before.
It should be said that this is normal, because Grant's army is indeed fighting the imperial army for the first time, and ordinary people may think that this matter can be completely ignored, and it is nothing.
But don't forget, the United States Army is also a soldier, and has been fighting in the American Civil War for several years, and they are all old fighters, and a group of people who have fought old battles are intimidated by the opponent's artillery, like a toad in winter that has been taken out of its nest...... What would ordinary people think when they saw such a situation?
Laugh, laugh...... Although the soldiers of the empire have good military discipline, although they are collecting these prisoners on the one hand, they are really laughing on the other hand, there is no way, they can't hold back.
Fortunately, the United States Army also recognized it, and they were all captured, so what?
This is the performance of a normal person, it is too normal, but Li Mengyang is different, he feels the key to this, that is, what he thinks.
Generation difference!
What is this generation difference?
This is not the generation difference of what fighters and tanks are classified in later generations, this is the generation difference of this era, and it is the generation difference of the industrial age!
This is the battle between the Second Industrial Revolution and the First Industrial Revolution!
Li Mengyang's empire, that is the second industrial revolution, that is, the electric age, and the United States is on its side. Or maybe bigger. Elsewhere in the world. It's still the first industrial revolution, the age of steam!
If you look at it this way, you will understand it all.
Although the empire is not yet fully equipped with the technology of the electric age, the weapons of their soldiers basically have the characteristics of the electric age, the rifle has a longer range, and the cannon has a stronger power, all thanks to the application of electricity. Our steels are better and can withstand higher boring ......
Too specific, Li Mengyang, as a liberal arts student, doesn't understand it too well, but his vision and his thinking can make him see this clearly.
And the United States is too obvious, although their weapons have improved a lot, it can be said that they are already the ultimate in the steam age, but. It was only the age of steam, and they still couldn't make a qualitative rise.
So. In fact, it is logical that Li Mengyang's empire can achieve such success and such a big victory, in fact, it is too normal, this is a more advanced era, and it is fighting an era that is backward than itself.
It can even be said that this is a high-level civilization fighting a low-level civilization!
Yes, War of Civilizations, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement, but that's exactly what it's about.
It should be said that it is not easy to think like this, Li Mengyang can be very sure at this time, not to mention that in this battlefield, even if it is the whole world at present, as long as there is no second traverser, then only Li Mengyang thinks so!
This is not Li Mengyang's arrogance, he doesn't need to brag about this, there is really no need, in fact, it has something to do with people's thinking.
Li Mengyang is just a liberal arts student, he is not a philosopher, but he can confirm one thing, that is, a person, a normal person, if he lives at the point of change of an era, then what will he think?
He won't think about anything, he will only live a normal life, he can only live in the moment!
This is the only way, because change is something that we have to look at in history, and it is a long time later, a long time after that time has passed, that human beings can think, 'Oops! It turns out that that era has passed, and ours has long since changed! ’
People are like this, Li Mengyang has seen too much, because before he crossed over, that era was an era of change, and it was an era that changed almost every day!
In those years, cars became more and more fuel-efficient, televisions became bigger and flatter, and our computers became smaller and more powerful, and finally we even used mobile phones......
However, do normal human beings feel that this is the end of one era and the beginning of another?
Not many people have this feeling, and there are even many people who want to go back to the past, advocating all day long that the Republic of China is good, or which dynasty is good, or how good it is in a certain history abroad...... Li Mengyang really wanted to tell these people that if they came, they would cry.
Okay, these things are too emotional, even a little too philosophical, but it's useful to think of these things, it's useful!
What kind of advantage will a civilization that surpasses the present, an advanced civilization, and a backward civilization create?
A science fiction novel in later generations called "The Three-Body Problem" said that advanced civilization strikes backward civilization, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death, what kind of singer civilization, throwing a small piece of paper, that is, binomial platinum flattened the solar system, right?
Of course, this is science fiction, this is fantasy, and the current generation gap between civilizations may not be that big, but it is also very revealing.
Li Mengyang, as the emperor of the empire, has mastered a very, very powerful power, this power is almost crushing, this power surpasses his contemporaries!
This kind of power is so strong that there has never been a similar situation in history, let's just say that the later head of state, the power he controls, is not so generational, he is just using the same technological era.
In other words, Li Mengyang is fully qualified to be more awesome than that mustache at this time, and he can completely conquer the world!
Well, this kind of ambition or something should be put aside for a while, because our 'generation gap' will not be too long, because the British side has already mastered electricity...... There's no way, even if you don't give them the relevant technology, they'll do it themselves, and the theory of electricity has long been there.
Why all this?
That's self-awareness!
Li Mengyang realized his true strength, and he also controlled his desire to conquer, but not much. He was right now, and he was right about to conquer the land of America right away. Full of confidence!
"Your Majesty! Washington, D.C. is already under the control of our Imperial Army. Enemy General Grant announces unconditional surrender! ”
This attack, which was supposed to be tentative and pressurous, came another good news in the afternoon, and this one was ......
This is undoubtedly a declaration that the great war is over, and the Imperial Army has taken the capital of the enemy country in one fell swoop!
"Oooo What a great victory! Our Imperial Army with an indomitable spirit! Heroic and fearless will to fight! In just one day, the United States of America was captured, which was illegal. The capital of an unpopular, immoral, evil country! Comrades! ALL-HAIL-LEE! "How can this kind of moment be missing Liszt, he was scared to death in Vicksburg before, but recently I found out that His Majesty the Emperor didn't give him any small shoes, hey, it's good, let's continue this little day."
Do you need to talk about it after that?
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The mountains shouted tsunami-like slogans, and the entire imperial army was boiling, and Li Mengyang, the emperor of the empire, was in such cheers. Walked into Washington, D.C.!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
"Comrades! Look! Our flag! Liszt seemed to have sharp eyes, and he pointed directly upward.
In fact, many people have seen it. It was the Capitol of the United States of America, and above the pure white building, a bright red imperial flag was flying!
"Ahhh
"Whoa, whoa!"
"God bless the Empire!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
Slogans are rising one after another!
Li Mengyang naturally saw it very early, and several imperial soldiers waved the national flag in what looked like a small attic under the dome.
No way, you can't go up to the top of that dome, there's a Statue of Liberty there.
This is the Capitol Building, also called Capitol Hill, a long time ago, that is, before Li Mengyang crossed over, domestic TV stations always assigned images of this building to the 'White House', in fact, the White House did not have a dome.
Well, this kind of emotion is necessary for Li Mengyang, any traverser who arrives in his position today, such a situation, will be like this, and no one can run.
And this picture in front of me is very similar to the kind when the Soviet army captured Berlin...... Obviously, this was all done by Liszt, who must not have known about the Soviet army, which is definitely a wonderful coincidence.
"Comrades are glad to suffer!" Li Mengyang waved his hand to the national flag and also waved to all the soldiers.
"Serve the people!" The slogan is extremely loud!
"Your Majesty! The White House is also ready, where do you want to go first? Liszt whispered to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Hehe......" Li Mengyang sighed again at this time, because this seemed to be the scene when Ming Chengzu Zhu Dijing was difficult to succeed.
When entering the NAN capital, a minister named Yang Zirong came out and asked a question, which is similar to what Liszt is asking now, so ......
"Advanced Capitol Hill, of course!"
Li Mengyang strode into this building, the core of the supreme power of the United States of America!
“ALL-HAIL-LEE!”
The slogan is still a tsunami, and it has entered the center of this Capitol Hill, this place...... Li Mengyang waved his hand and asked everyone to be quiet.
"......" immediately calmed down.
At this time, Li Mengyang took off his hat, raised his head, and glanced at the ceiling painting, and then he came to the front of an oil painting in the hall.
"Great Mr. Washington! Your spirit lives on! After saying that, he gave a salute!
"Oooo At this time, the white soldiers in the Imperial Army all shouted out, and even they burst into tears!
Li Mengyang's move just now is to tell everyone that I recognize everything about Washington, the founding father of the country.
But don't underestimate this move, this move is ......
"Your Majesty! Drop Grant to! ”
Grant, dejected, was put up...... (To be continued......)
