"Fellow villagers, today our navy has made this glass of wine, and we are going to go on an expedition. If we have any misfortune, please take care of our families, we Navy are here to thank you! Qiu Baoren, chief of staff of the Navy, took the initiative to bow and said.

And tens of thousands of navies behind him also bowed together, which was regarded as a salute to these people and an expression of gratitude to them. Because they have promised in public that no matter what the outcome of this battle is, the families of those fallen naval officers and soldiers will also be adopted by them together, and the families of different numbers of fallen naval officers and soldiers will be adopted according to their respective economic conditions and strength. After all, generals will inevitably die in battle, let alone ordinary soldiers? So no matter what, they may have this day themselves, so they also salute these people who are willing to take care of their families.

"Smack!"

Qiu Baoren smashed the wine bowl in his hand into the deck of the ship, and then the wine bowl shattered into pieces. There was a crackling sound, and tens of thousands of wine bowls were smashed onto the deck of the battleship, and then this marked the end of the farewell ceremony.

"Punishment!"

"Uhhh

The battleship sounded its whistle and began to sail out of the port. In addition to Taiwan's naval officers and men, there were also a small number of members of the military observer group from foreign countries who came to visit the warship, and there were several more in each country. They were responsible for observing the process of this operation, hoping to learn some knowledge and experience. Although the Taiwan Navy has not been established for a long time, there is still a lot to be learned, not to mention the huge scene of dozens of battleships fighting together this time, which is enough to make those officers use it for a lifetime.

However, they will not only have people on Taiwan's side, but also on Japanese and American warships, and this is inevitable.

However, in the corner next to this farewell ceremony. There are several people talking here. And these people are also big-nosed foreigners, and they are here to have some discussions, and it is obvious that the ministers of various countries are here. And these countries were headed by the British Minister Juerdian, next to the French Minister Bi Sheng, and the German Minister Klinder. At present, although China has been fighting with the Eight-Nation Alliance for a long time, it has not actually declared war. Therefore, the ministers are still in each other's home countries. Anyway, as long as there is no declaration of war for a day, the country is naturally "friendly". However, this Clinder didn't know that he had taken shit luck, he was killed by the Boxers in history, and this time and space because Wang Guorui planted a lot of people in the Boxers, so it effectively protected the safety of those diplomats. Although Wang Guorui also hates foreign devils, diplomats must also be protected, which is a common practice in all countries. If you kill and injure foreign diplomats at will today, how will you communicate with foreign countries tomorrow?

After all, peace is the mainstream in this world. Peaceful interaction is the real main channel, and war is just a continuation of politics. Therefore, the rules that should be obeyed must still be observed, and the diplomats of various countries must be protected, and this Wang Guorui has also agreed. Because Wang Guorui also has a lot of "diplomats" in foreign countries, if you casually kill and injure other people's diplomats today, then you will be 15 years old as a junior high school, and this evil example cannot be easily opened. Wang Guorui gave people the idea to protect Clinder. So Clinder didn't die as he had in history.

"It really surprised me that these Chinese would support their navy so much. How would they support their army so much. I am so surprised that these Chinese are so willing to be with the army and to take care of the families of those fallen soldiers. Zhu Erdian said.

But Clint asked with some confusion: "Is there anything strange about this?" ”

"Back then, exactly sixty years ago, the British Empire launched a war against China. Our British Empire called it the Trade War, and the Chinese record called it the Crow. Piece of War. I once read the diplomatic diary of our predecessor in British diplomacy with China, Pasha Li, who once recorded a story. At that time, the navy of the British Empire was in Humen and China's navy, well, China at that time could only be called a naval division, and it was far from qualified to call it a navy. When our British Empire's navy and China's sailors fought in Humen, Guangdong. Tens of thousands of people gathered on both sides of the strait. And those people saw the naval armies of our two countries fighting with their own eyes, and they did not worry about their own national naval armies. They thought of it as a monkey show, and when the British navy had defeated the Chinese sailors, the people whistled as if they were not angry at the failure of their own government's sailors. Zhu Erdian said.

Clint and Bi Sheng were surprised that the citizens of their own country actually treated their country's army with such an attitude, and their own country was defeated, and they still laughed at it like this, completely treating it as a monkey show? This is unimaginable in Europe, because Europe is already a citizen state, and every citizen is a member of the country, and they fight for the country and then they can achieve development.

"At that time, Pashali was also very puzzled, and one of the compradors said a sentence, 'The country does not know that there is a people, and the people do not know that there is a country.' The meaning of this sentence is that the rulers of China did not regard the Chinese people as their own people, nor did they treat them as their own citizens. And Chinese citizens, although nominally Chinese citizens, do not recognize this country and do not have much sense of belonging. And none of them have any good feelings about the country's army, and they don't regard them as people who protect their own interests. ”

"So, back then, China was not a civil country at all. The rulers of their countries do not regard the people as their own people, and the people do not have a sense of belonging to the country. Their army, for the common people, is also used to oppress the people, and the people do not treat them as a soldier. Therefore, if decades ago, or even years ago, it would have been impossible for the Chinese people to regard the country's military as a person who protects their interests, or even if they regarded their own country's army as an enemy, and they could be wary of it at any time. ”

But now, these people they understand, these people understand that their army is to fight and fight and pay for their lives to protect the interests of their country and the people. And they all love their army, and are willing to do their best to relieve the worries of these soldiers, and then they can make those soldiers completely rest assured to die for their country, and their families are not afraid that no one will take care of them. You must know that a few years ago, those people would not have made such a choice, they would just treat those soldiers as the emperor's minions, as bullies of the people. But in the past few years, these people's thinking has changed like this, and this is the most terrifying! ”

Zhu Erdian said so much, in fact, it is just one sentence, that is, the thinking of the Chinese people has changed, and the thinking of the Chinese people has completely changed. And this made Zhu Erdian shudder, obviously feeling extremely scared.

"Is it that scary?" One of the retinues, who looked very young, asked.

But Zhu Erdian said with certainty: "Yes, the Chinese people have awakened. They know that they are defending their own interests, they know that these governments are for their good, and the military is for their interests, and they are the ones who protect their lives and property. That's why they love the soldiers so much and are so willing to pay for the sacrificed soldiers. On the surface, it is just a support army, but in fact, it represents the beginning of the awakening of this country with a population of 40,000, and these people have begun to truly wake up and know that they must fight for their country and contribute to their country. ”

"Once 40,000 people awaken, the power that erupts is really incomparable. At that time, there were 40,000 people, almost more than the total population of Europe, accounting for a quarter of the world's population. Once the citizens of such a huge country begin to wake up, how great will the power that erupt be? They have already begun to awaken, and if they have a qualified leader at this time, then the power they burst out can change the world! ”

However, there was still an entourage that said: "Minister Zhu Erdian, it's not so terrifying, is it?" As long as the Japanese defeated their navy this time, they would have lost. ”

"Defeated them on the battlefield? Does it mean to conquer them? Can an awakened nation, a country with 40,000,000 awakened population, be conquered by us? Even if we all add up Europe, we may not be able to conquer them? And 40,000 people, how many inexhaustible talents are there, how many elites and how many manpower can become soldiers. When the time comes, as long as there is a leader who dares to safeguard the interests of the country and the nation, then they can burst out with infinite strength. Even if the Japanese wipe out their navy, we can even wipe out the political power of Taiwan together. But does it work? Once 40,000,000 people begin to awaken, it cannot be solved by killing a certain person, nor can it be stifled by winning a certain battle. There are so many heroes in this world, even if there is no Wang Guorui, they will naturally produce a great hero to lead those who have begun to awaken to fight. So, can we conquer such a people? ”

"Can we conquer such a people?"

"Can we conquer such a people?"

Zhu Erdian asked the same question three times, but no one could answer it. (To be continued.) )
