The first to implement universal compulsory education was the Duchy of Weimar (Germany in the modern sense of the word had to wait until after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870), when the education decree promulgated at that time ordered parents to send their 6~12-year-old children to school, otherwise the government would force them to fulfill their obligations. The author of this epoch-making education law was Martin Luther, a famous religious reformer, whose intention was to make it possible for the general public to read and write the Bible, so as to better evangelize and preach for his new teachings. After the Industrial Revolution, in order to train more qualified industrial workers and improve industrial production capacity and comprehensive national strength, major countries began to promote compulsory education. In the process of human civilization progress, compulsory education has played an indispensable role.

Does Li Lin want to fully implement compulsory education in Charlemagne, does he intend to comprehensively improve the level of Charlemagne, enlighten the people's wisdom, and promote social progress?

Of course he wouldn't do that.

As with all his intrigues, it is always at the last minute that people see the results to understand what all the layout is up to, and why they have the patience to do so many seemingly unrelated things. The same is true of compulsory education.

In the long term, Charlemagne will become an important production base for agriculture, heavy industry, light industry, transportation, ...... All walks of life need to be upgraded in an all-round way. This requires not only the purchase of a large number of production equipment, but also the quality of the personnel who operate these equipment. Not only can you use it, but you also need to be able to maintain and repair it. At the current level of Charlemagne, the majority of Charlemagnes cannot achieve this goal.

Therefore, Charlemagne's level can only be improved through the implementation of universal compulsory education.

This is an inevitable move, and the elven supremacists within Alfheim cannot deny it. The main dispute between them and the moderates and the military is the content of education.

Everyone knows that education is an important means of shaping the spirit of the next generation, and there is no disagreement about the use of education to assimilate Charlemagne, the only question is whether to use hard or soft means.

Li Lin's answer to this is "happy education".

Opposition to competition, opposition to compulsory learning, opposition to discipline management, opposition to corporal punishment, opposition to examination-oriented education, opposition to ...... In short, all strategies against learning should be packaged and packed into the box of compulsory education. Throw students into a cattle-herding class and let them "learn" slowly and easily. Then, after the end of the nine-year compulsory education, these graduates who can only use basic arithmetic and literacy skills are thrown into society, and the pressure of survival is used to force them to go to various vocational schools and technical schools to study, become industrial workers, master certain skills to ensure survival, and at the same time contribute to the operation of the state apparatus. As for those who can't even graduate from technical school...... The social mechanism will weed out these people on its own.

To put it bluntly, this is the use of administrative and educational means to divide classes.

It is true that the government has indeed educated all children equally, and has not forcibly instilled anything, let alone carried any loyal and patriotic private goods, and has tolerated and protected children almost to the point of being called doting. It is almost forgotten that Yalfheim is an aggressor. However, it should not be forgotten that children are the least self-disciplined group. In an environment where there is no competitive pressure, no responsible teachers who can point out their mistakes, and no single-minded learning. How can we expect active and lively children to resist all kinds of temptations, understand what life is, understand what the future is, realize what the current learning means to them, take a responsible attitude towards their own behavior, and honestly sit in their seats and listen to the lectures and take notes, instead of making loud noises and playing casually during class, and even fighting, smoking, drinking, and taking illegal drugs in class?

Since ancient times, elite education is inevitably cramming education, which is an eternal truth. Although the so-called aristocratic schools and star schools are not as extreme as some institutions for the treatment of Internet addiction, they are also training talents and even future elites in a harsh environment that is almost like a military camp or even hell. Only after the tempering of the high-pressure environment can people truly become talents. When the children of the elves are already hundreds or thousands of steps ahead, and the children of the Charlemagnes are still playing carefree at the starting line, their future is already sealed.

This is the core purpose of education policy in the occupied territories, which is highly classified even at the highest levels of Alfheim, and is impossible for outsiders to know. All people see is innocent children learning in a well-crafted and comfortable environment, relaxed, enjoyable and free from any compulsion.

With the exception of a very few smart people, most people will not understand what kind of poison is wrapped under the sugar coating until ten or twenty years from now, when these children are adults. Until then, people would only think that Alfheim had done a very humane good, that any objection would be spurned by the masses who did not know the truth, that those insights would be regarded as heresy, and that people would wholeheartedly support this kind of "happy learning" across the ages. By the time people realize that something is wrong and discover the cruel truth, they are already like frogs soaked in a little warmed water, unable and powerless to question all this, and can only accept the established facts.

"The reactionary clique will certainly do everything in its power to oppose and even resist educational reform. It is the job of the 'Faculty Section' to remove these anachronistic noises. However, you should pay attention to the ways and means, do not be impulsive with the enemy head-on, and mobilize the masses to explain to the masses the benefits of educational reform, the benefits to students, and the benefits to parents. Put those reactionary elements who oppose educational reform in opposition to the interests of the people, and let them drown in the sea of the people. ”

"I see, Your Excellency. The goal of those reactionaries is to infringe on the right of children to receive education, the teachers who assign homework are old and stubborn, and the encouragement of competition is a great rebellion and a reaction against equality. These people are the common enemies of humanity and terrorists who seek to subvert the State and society. A warmonger who doesn't hold a knife or a gun. We must let the people see the true colors of these people and fight to the end against the reactionary clique. ”

Executive Lavoisier's face was filled with righteous indignation, and looking at the man with a sense of mission, Niedhogg nodded, got up, and buckled his military hat on his head.

"Now that you know what to do, let it go. I hope that within a month, the 'Faculty Panel' will be able to produce an excellent initial result that will not disgrace the grand ceremony held at the Palace of Versailles and all the people who participated in it. ”

"Palace of Versailles...... Is it ......?!"

"That's right, in a month's time, Yalfheim will officially change the name of the country to the 'Holy Gilmanian Empire', and His Excellency the Dictator will ascend the throne as emperor. At that time, all Charlemagnes must learn an elven language to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Pulling the hem of his clothes hard, Nidhogg shouted with a holy and solemn face:

"Long live the Emperor (. Dir）！”
