Chapter 891: Read Ten Thousand Books
As a master of war theory, Roberts has written many books on war, and only then did he really know how difficult it is to understand the essence of world war.
When he knew that Lin Xiao had actually understood the "Essence of World Classic Battles" in one day, he was more surprised than anyone else.
How can it be?
Not to mention reading this book in one day, it is just to turn the pages one by one, and one day is not enough, let alone finish reading this war masterpiece.
What's more, what the teacher said was that this young man understood this masterpiece in one day, not to finish it.
It's really a person who can't be disguised, there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!
When Roberts looked at Lin Xiao again, his eyes were already full of surprise, no wonder the teacher would accept him as a closed disciple unusually, you must know that Principal Caslan accepted disciples in West Point Military School The assessment is the strictest.
Lin Xiao can remember and understand the essence of "World Classic Battles" in 1 day, this kind of memory is too terrifying, even he can't do it.
Roberts' memory is very good, it can be said that he can see ten lines at a glance, and he never forgets it, but despite this, it took him half a month to completely memorize "The Essence of World Classic Battles".
This is already the best record of the West Point Military School in so many years.
However, Lin Xiao only has one day?
This kind of reading speed and memory is too shocking!
As a master of war theory, Roberts certainly knew how important it was to memorize well.
Because, as an excellent on-site commander, when a large amount of information is obtained, only a good memory can analyze the information one by one in the shortest possible time, and then summarize and make the most reasonable judgment.
It can be said that every good commander has a very good brain, but not everyone with a good brain can become an excellent commander.
Lin Xiao's ability to become the king of killing soldiers at his age was also unexpected by Roberts.
As a major general, Roberts is a genius in his own right, and he has seen more demonic geniuses, but it is the first time he has encountered such a young killing soldier king as Lin Xiao.
But aren't the legendary soldiers all Boy Scouts? How could it be possible to cultivate such a young Killer Soldier King?
But is it too arbitrary for the teacher to judge that he can become a general just because he is the king of killing soldiers and remembering the "Essence of World Classic Battles" one day?
Being able to become a general is a rare existence in this world.
Roberts was skeptical and unconvinced.
"Lin Xiao's military theory study will be handed over to you." Principal Caslan finished talking to Roberts, turned and left.
"Come with me!"
After the teacher left, Roberts took Lin Xiao directly to the library.
Roberts has some rejection in his heart for this junior brother who suddenly appeared, the reason is very simple, which of the teacher's disciples is not the best in West Point Military School, and he is famous all over the world, but this guy is unknown, and the other party is an Oriental.
But anyway, the teacher told Roberts what he had to do, and he would do it.
"Lin Xiao, the teacher accepted you as a disciple, it was his old man's decision, but if you want me to guide you, you must pass my assessment, or no one will have to come forward." On the way, Roberts said coldly.
"Here, I give you two suggestions, first, in the next time, you have to remember as many archives as possible in the library, where there are a collection of human wars, second, after learning, I will summarize and integrate by myself, three days later, I will personally assess, you can pass the assessment, I can be considered your teacher."
"My time is precious, many famous schools are queuing up to invite me to give lectures, I don't have time to go, and I don't know if the teacher is old and confused, how can he choose you?"
When Roberts said this, he was also testing the other party's ability to endure.
Today's young people are more impulsive, they can't stand the stimulation, and they belittle him so much, maybe this guy left in a rage, and he also saved trouble.
As a result, Roberts was disappointed, but Lin Xiao's face was still calm, and he didn't see any emotional fluctuations.
This reminded Roberts of the statues, yes, the four statues in the doorway.
Hell yes!
This guy has such good concentration?
Roberts didn't believe in evil, and continued to sarcastically: "A good memory doesn't mean anything, there are a lot of people in history who talk on paper, and there are many people like you Yanguo." ”
"Do you know how the idiom of talking on paper comes from? This is an allusion from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous works of your Yan Kingdom. ”
Roberts also has a deep study of the military literature of the Yan Kingdom, such as "The Art of War", "Thirty-six Strategies" and other military books, he has specially studied.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles!
Lin Xiao still looked calm, and said indifferently: "You can assess me." ”
Roberts was speechless.
This guy is really to the point, can't you say that you have your own expertise to impress the mentor?
Along the way, Roberts said a lot, that is, he wanted to observe what kind of person the other party was from different aspects, but all the way, he was talking and the other party was listening.
Even if it is sarcasm, this guy has a calm expression, which is like an old fritter, oil and salt do not enter.
"Lin Xiao, can't you talk about your expertise and impress your mentor?" Luo Boci was speechless, and couldn't help but say directly.
Lin Xiao still had a calm expression on his face, and said calmly: "Senior brother, my memory is very good. ”
"This ....."
Roberts felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, stumbling, and almost losing his footing.
Roberts was speechless, and suddenly didn't want to talk to the other party again.
Neither of them spoke again, and Lin Xiao quietly followed Roberts to the library.
Unlike public libraries, there are special secret rooms that require authorized personnel to lead them, and Roberts is one of them.
Roberts walked to the door of the chamber and expertly entered his fingerprints.
Click!
There was a sound of the lock cylinder turning from the door, and immediately after, the door opened.
This is a fully enclosed secret room, and the shelves are filled with dense war books, many of which are rare books that are not available outside, and have been collected here by the West Point Military Academy.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, it is worthy of being a world-famous military school, and this collection of books alone is not comparable to ordinary schools.
The books here are also the soul of the West Point School, which contains the most comprehensive war books in the military history of mankind, and it can be said that these are the treasures of prices.
Roberts looked at Lin Xiao with a hint of surprise on his face and nodded proudly.
At that time, when you first came to the secret room to read books, you were also shocked by the collection of books here, not that there are many books here, but that the books here are too precious, and they are all books that cannot be found outside.
At this time, Roberts looked at Lin Xiao and said, "There are a total of 10 rows here, a row of 10 grids, a grid of 10 volumes, remember, you look at the first row first, and I will assess you in three days." ”
"If you don't pass the assessment, you know, even if the teacher looks for me, it's useless, I won't accept you."
After Roberts finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense with Lin Xiao, and turned around and left directly, along the way, he was scolded by Lin Xiao's old fritters, unless Lin Xiao could prove his worth, or it would be impossible to get his approval.
Just let him watch here by himself, and see what he can do.
When Roberts left, he also deliberately opened the secret room to Lin Xiao, allowing him to enter and exit the library freely, so that for the next three days, he would not have to come over every day to open the door for the other party.
The supporting measures here are in place, including a book storage area and a public reading area, special chairs, and notebooks and pens to facilitate students to memorize when studying.
Lin Xiao came to the bookshelf, walked around first, and roughly understood the classification of books here, and then walked to the first row of bookshelves, starting from the first grid, and pulled out the first book.
Lin Xiao plans to start with the first one and finish reading all the books!
If Roberts knew Lin Xiao's thoughts, he would definitely scold him for being a madman, there are so many books here, and after reading it, you have to remember that there is no time for a year and a half, even he can't digest it.
After Lin Xiao watched "The Essence of World Battles" last night, he had a strong desire to read in his mind, wanting to read more books and supplement himself.
He is now like a dry sponge, in dire need of water to fill himself.
Lin Xiao didn't waste the slightest time, he directly took out the first book of "The Roman Empire of Ancient Wars in Western Europe", and after sitting down, the eight major killing forces in his mind were like forming eight brain domains, which were opened at the same time.
Lin Xiao began to flip through the book quickly, his eyes were like a scanning machine, quickly scanning, and all the words in it were recorded in his mind.
Practice makes perfect, compared to yesterday, Lin Xiao read books faster.
The so-called scroll here is an in-depth explanation of the meaning of each war, including the existence before and after the war, and these are exactly what Lin Xiao lacks.
Lin Xiao plans to read these books, and then combine them with the new way of thinking of modern times, to study a new strategy, with the smallest force, to exert the greatest effect, even if the weak side will have a chance to win.
This is a combination of the West Point School's theoretical combat thinking, or the accumulation of combat experience left by predecessors, Lin Xiao is now standing on the shoulders of giants.
Because society is progressing, fighting now is modern warfare, and it is necessary to keep pace with the times.
Judging from the same period, their combat methods are indeed very different from those of the East, and there are many things that can be used for reference.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao was immersed in the ocean of knowledge of Western war theory.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao's heart moved, and he suddenly looked up and saw the hunchbacked young man wearing a mask standing at the door, and the other party was also looking at him.
