The Battle of Jinan not only trained the elite army, but also shocked Guo Songtao, who followed the whole process, because he really couldn't imagine that the siege battle could be fought like this.

In the entire Jinan Campaign, the Jingwu army actually occupied the whole city in just one morning, of which the Jingwu army, as the besieging side (50,000 people), was far less than the defender (actually 130,000 people), but it played a disparity of zero casualties on its own side and more than 10,000 casualties on the other side (the main casualties occurred in the defenders who guarded the city in advance).

What impressed Guo Songtao the most was naturally the seemingly small caliber, but powerful heavy artillery, which collapsed the entire city gate in just one round of attacks.

After that, the actions of the Jingwu Army, as well as the terrifying firepower, also gave Guo Songtao a powerful shock, he really couldn't imagine that the battle could still be fought like this.

Guo Songtao is not a stupid person, nor is he a proud and arrogant person, on the contrary, he is very good at observing new things. After such an observation by him, he soon found that with the current combat effectiveness of this elite army, it seems that there is really no opponent in the whole world, even if it is a foreigner, I am afraid it is not an opponent!

Of course, the premise that foreigners are not opponents is that foreigners do not have these weapons in the hands of the Jingwu Army, but this is obviously impossible, because the whole world knows that the weapons of the Jingwu Army are supported by foreigners, and without the weapons of foreigners, the Jingwu Army is nothing.

As a result, Guo Songtao actually began to be afraid, he was afraid that the soldiers and horses of foreigners would be like this, or rather, he was afraid that the regular army of foreigners would also be like this, even stronger than this!

Although Guo Songtao is also a person who has seen the world, he also knows what the foreigner soldiers in China are like, and what equipment they probably have, such as the original Dagukou defense battle, he has witnessed how the foreigners fight.

In Guo Songtao's view, if the foreigners' firearms are the kind of Cheng dù in the defense of Dagukou, then the Qing Dynasty. No, it is still possible for China to resist, but if it is all equipment like the elite army, then, how can it be fought?

Thinking of this, the more Guo Songtao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally he was dizzy and fainted.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed with a strange hose on his hand. At the other end of the hose is a clear glass bottle with some clear liquid in it.

Guo Songtao naturally didn't know that this was an infusion, but he knew that he had just fainted, so he should be treating himself.

Immediately afterward, he noticed that a young man in a white coat appeared, and without saying a word, he made a request to see Li Yongji immediately.

The man in the white coat was naturally the battlefield doctor trained by Li Yongji, after persuading the other party not to move and lie down in peace. He relayed Guo Songtao's request to Li Yongji.

"Dashuai!" After seeing Li Yongji appear, Guo Songtao sat up again excitedly, "What to do, what should we do." What to do! Woowoo woo ......"

"What to do?" Li Yongji actually cried when he found out that the other party saw him, and he was also confused, "Master Guo, what are you talking about?" Take it easy. Something to say slowly, you're a little anemic, and you have high blood pressure. Can't get too excited. ”

"Dashuai!" Guo Songtao said, "Tell me the truth, did these weapons of yours be given to you by foreigners?" ”

"This, why are you asking this?" Li Yongji was stunned.

"Do foreigners have weapons like yours too?" Guo Songtao then asked, "Is the foreigner's army also like you?" Yes, definitely! ”

Immediately afterwards, Guo Songtao didn't wait for Li Yongji to answer, so he said to himself: "That's definitely the case, I know that the army they came to us all the way can't be their pro-army, it can only be some miscellaneous cards, and their pro-army must have more advanced weapons!" God, foreigners have such a sharp weapon, do I still have hope for the Chinese people? Sooner or later, they will become foreign slaves! ”

Next, Guo Songtao cried and laughed, chattered and said a lot of words, at first it was in the vernacular, and then it was directly in Chinese, Li Yongji listened to it for a long time before he understood, it turned out that the other party was frightened by his own army and weapons, thinking that foreigners also had such equipment, and in that case, China would not be able to resist at all.

It should be said that the other party's speculation is not unreasonable, after all, the world is said to have the support of foreigners, and the Jingwu army is invincible in the world by relying on foreigners' foreign guns and cannons, although he didn't admit it, but he didn't clarify, he didn't care about this before, but he didn't expect to scare Guo Songtao like this.

How to say it, should it be said that Guo Songtao is worried about the sky, or is his ability to associate is relatively strong? actually thought of foreigners from the combat ability of the elite army.

"Master Guo doesn't have to worry." Not wanting him to continue to go crazy, Li Yongji asked everyone else to leave, and then whispered, "If you are worried that foreigners also have weapons of the elite army, then I will sue you, your worries are superfluous, and the foreigners are not as well equipped as my elite army." It should be said that the weapons of our elite army are the most advanced in the world, and the weapons of foreigners are not a little backward compared with ours. ”

"Nonsense!" Guo Songtao said loudly, "The weapons of your elite army are all supported by foreigners, how can it make sense to give you the best weapons, but the foreigners themselves don't use them?" ”

"Who said that the weapons of our elite army are supported by foreigners?" Li Yongji smiled, "When did I say this?" ”

"Yes, it's what everyone in the world says." Guo Songtao said.

"People of the world? It's just a lie, do you believe it? ”

"Then, if it's not a foreigner, where do you get these weapons?" Guo Songtao continued to roar, "Don't sue me, you made it yourself!" ”

"Of course not, but ......" Li Yongji thought about it and felt that it was quite complicated to explain to him, so he no longer explained, but chose another angle and said, "Lord Guo, you believe me, foreigners really don't have such good equipment as my elite army." If you don't believe me, so be it, I'm going to organize a business delegation to the United States in the near future for friendly exchange activities, if you're interested, you can join this delegation, go to the United States to have a look, and see what kind of situation they are doing? ”

"To the United States?" Guo Songtao was stunned.

"Yes, to the United States." Li Yongji said, "The United States is also a powerful country among the great powers, and when you go to the United States, you can not only observe the local customs and customs, but also see how their main army is."

Of course, after the delegation has been to the United States, it will go to Europe again. For example, Britain and France will also go to the world, in short, it is necessary to travel around the world.

If you're interested, or if you're brave enough, you can go out and see for yourself how foreigners live, and see what their main army is like. ”

"I went to a foreign country, can I really see what their army is like?" Guo Songtao asked.

"Of course." Li Yongji smiled, "You may not know yet. Generally speaking, if a request is made to watch the drills of the country's armed forces, such as this kind of formal delegation, it is usually not refused, because it is also a form of declaring the prestige of the country and the military.

If you are really interested, you want to see if the regular army of foreigners is really like our elite army, you can go abroad to investigate. ”

"Going abroad for an investigation......" Guo Songtao finally calmed down, wiped his tears, and suddenly raised his head, "Then you tell me the truth." Is the armament of the elite army supported by foreigners? ”

"Is this...... Yes and no. Li Yongji thought about it and felt that it was better to fool Wang Sanwu again.

"Actually, I was supported by an international coalition. Among them, there are foreigners, but there are also Chinese, or Han. ”

"And us Chinese?" Guo Songtao opened his mouth.

"That's right, you listen to me."

Followed by. Li Yongji took out the set of rhetoric he had told Wang Sanwu at the beginning, and it was still the same set of the All-Spirit Sect.

After saying a little bit, he continued, "So you see. In fact, I have the support of the All-Soul Sect behind me, and this All-Spirit Sect is now putting all the heavy bets on me, and will not look for anyone else, so you can rest assured about this. ”

"Oh, so you say that your current situation is the same as that of Zhu Yuanzhang and the Mingjiao behind him?" Guo Songtao immediately began to make up for his brain.

"Well, almost." Li Yongji smiled bitterly.

"Then, then we Chinese, well, are Han people, what proportion of Han people make up this all-soul sect?"

"I can't say anything about that." Li Yongji smiled, "You are not a person in the sect, you can't know this." ”

"So, if you win the world, will you continue to listen to this all-soul sect?" Guo Songtao stared at Li Yongji again and said, "In case, when the time comes, the Quanling Sect will let you sell the country and cede land to foreigners, will you do it?" ”

"How is that possible?" Li Yongji smiled, and then said in words that Guo Songtao could understand, "You see, first of all, I am a Chinese, then I am a Han, and finally, I am a member of the All-Spirit Sect. That is to say, I should put the interests of the Chinese first.

Not to mention that after some internal conflicts, the current Quanling Sect is already in power with the Han people mainly in power, and there will never be the situation you said, even if the Quanling Sect really wants me to betray the country...... Hehe, I mastered the world's treasures at that time, and the whole world was mine, do you think I would sell my own things to foreigners? ”

"That's what I'm talking about." Sure enough, as soon as Li Yongji said this, Guo Songtao immediately believed it.

"To tell you the truth, when I master the world, not only will I not betray the country, but I will also expand the territory and compete with foreign devils!" Li Yongji narrowed his eyes, "Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away!" When the time comes, I will deal with all the foreign devils who have bullied us one by one, not to mention anything else, the Russians, the British and the French, I will never let go. ”

"Although it is very good, in this way, we Chinese people will continue to suffer from misery." Guo Songtao frowned and said, "You must know that you will die if you are warlike." ”

"Then you are wrong, belligerent will die? That's the old yellow calendar, and now it's a new era, and the emphasis is on being belligerent and strong! Li Yongji said, "Look at those foreigners, they have to fight almost every year, that's why they are so strong."

Therefore, the current era is the era of the great powers, and whoever has the big fist is right. If you are not strong enough, you deserve to be oppressed and devoured!

Why was I bullied by foreigners in China before? Isn't it just that we can't beat them? Why can't we beat them? Of course, it is the corruption of the imperial court, and it is naturally a policy of fooling the people engaged in by the Manchurians! Otherwise, how could I be pressed and beaten by a group of foreign devils from afar?

In short, if the world is mine, I will not only ensure that the common people can live a good life, eat and clothe well, but also fight the country, participate in the game of the great powers, and compete for resources and living space for us all over the world, in other words, plunder foreign countries and enrich ourselves.

At this time, only when the country is strong can the people be rich, and if you don't become a great power, there will be no way out! ”

"This, this ......" Obviously, Li Yongji's words had a great impact on Guo Songtao, and it was obvious that he couldn't completely digest these words, but he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some truth.

"Alright, you can rest in peace." Li Yongji, who came back to his senses, shook his head, "I know you can't understand what I said now, when you come back from traveling around the world and see what the Western powers are doing, come back and tell me your experience." ”

"But......" Guo Songtao paused, "I am not your courtier, are you still willing to let me join your delegation?" ”

"It's not a problem." Li Yongji smiled, "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, and when you go out to see what the outside of the world is like, I believe you will join my camp, even if you are still not willing to work for me, it is a good thing to have one more Chinese who can open your eyes to the world and have a deep understanding of the situation abroad."
