C1357 Price of underestimating the enemy

The temporary command center was dead silent. Outside, the shouts of the Russian Army were earth-shattering, and the marines who were retaliating were having a hard time killing as well. To be honest, everything Xiao Letian said today was really hard for them to accept.

Chinese Army was a proud army, born with victory after victory. The hundred thousand Chinese uprising in Ryukyu caused a big commotion in the construction of the Chinese army. From then on, this young army fought year in and year out.

On the borders of the Fa Rui, the new army had fought against the Cavalry Battalion s of France.

Not to mention that the reserve militia troops had managed to block the sneak attack of the elite French army, and there were also a few times when the Tanggu defended their lives and captured the capital city, which was a shocking achievement, which proved to the whole world how powerful the new army was.

Along the way, most of the rookies had fought with the weak winning over the strong. They had fought with the weak winning over the strong, but who were they afraid of in this world? Every soldier in this army was proud, and the conviction that they would win was unbreakable.

This kind of pride was undoubtedly valuable, but in Xiao Letian's eyes, this pride was also dangerous. This world was far more dangerous than the new army officers and soldiers thought it was.

The reason why the new army was undefeated was only because of Xiao Letian, the smart strategist. Xiao Letian carefully walked between the strong, looking for allies, trying to deduce the bottom line between the strong and powerful. He always stopped before the enemies were about to go berserk, and then put on a harmless look.

To establish friendly commercial relations with the United States, to establish a paramilitary alliance with Prussia, and to submit to the British, willingly and willingly, to be a pawn of the British.

It was always to get a family of two, to fight a small battle at the negotiating table and discuss a big battle two more times. It was only because he was so careful to cross the river by means of a stone that Xiao Letian was worried the most about.

Xiao Letian was unable to describe the significance of Britain to the entire Earth in this era. In this country which controlled the entire ocean, the Royal Navy was indeed invincible. Even if Xiao Letian possessed Zhiyuan Warship s that surpassed thirty years of dark technology, he was still not a match for the United Kingdom.

Industrial strength could not be made up with just words. Even Xiao Letian could guess that in the British Royal Shipyard, countless engineers were using the limited information on Zhiyuan Warship to duplicate this battleship.

The more beautiful the fighting was, the more funds the British would invest for the engineers. This huge amount of money and sufficient talent would eventually create a new battleship that would be far better than the one used by the Zhiyuan Warship.

As long as the test site was tested and the Queen of England or the Prime Minister was willing to invest in such a warship, the terrifying power of British industry would erupt.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the ship was like a dumpling being launched. It was an iron-like fact!

The difference in strength was not something that could be made up with just spirit. No matter how the Chinese were not ready to fight against the British, no matter how strong Xiao Letian was, failure was inevitable.

In fact, it was not only Britain, France and the United States. The productivity of those countries that had undergone the baptism of Industrial Revolution was 100 times that of the Chinese people in front of them. It was not something that could be caught up to just by relying on their ideals and spirit.

Xiao Letian carefully found a balance between the strong and the weak. He would rather die to help Prussia fight a European war, as he did not have enough money in his own country. However, he used over ten million silver coins worth of reserves to help Prussia rise to power and support the anti-government forces in France.

This was not because they were full, but because it was the only opportunity for the Chinese to emerge from the international situation. In the beginning, when the Chinese were at their weakest, it was impossible to fight on their own without relying on a few other forces.

However, the ordinary soldiers did not have Xiao Letian's profound gaze that could see through history, they had long been immersed in the joy of victory, and raised their tails, everyone thought that they were undefeatable, the Chinese undefeatable, the Chinese new army undefeatable!

They finally understood the foundations of the so-called strong powerhouses. Not only did they have more boats, but also more than just high levels of industrialization. The fighting spirit that the Western Powers herself had was already enough to stun them.

The new army had fought more than once with the western army, and their victories had led them to believe that the strong European troops were nothing to be afraid of. However, none of them had realized that in the conflict at the Farrell border, the French were actually afraid of causing a diplomatic dispute, so they did not kill themselves.

On the Pu Ao Battlefield, in the bloody war of the Shiqiao uplands, the opponents that the new army would meet were actually young masters of the Austria. Those were a group of noble young masters who would go to the battlefield to mix with their seniority.

As for the French Expeditionary Force that was beaten up later, they were just a colonial army on the Indian subcontinent, far from being an elite army of the natives.

Xiao Letian understood the gist of it, but the others did not. They thought that they were fighting against the strongest enemy in the world, until the Russian Army gave them a lesson, waking them up.

A bucket of cold water had cooled their hearts! When the Russian Expeditionary Force came out from the chaos, when they realized the reality of the situation, and started to abandon all thoughts of underestimating their enemies and treated the Chinese as their mortal enemies, the strong Bear Army finally exploded.

Crazy, bloody, strong, fearless! The assaulting troops were like iron hammers smashing on the Chinese defense line, each of the hammers was capable of causing hundreds of millions of sparks to fly.

The proud youth was caught off guard and was beaten senseless. It was only until Xiao Letian broke the inner demons that Luo Huo and the others came to a realization.

Luo Huo clenched his fists tightly, his joints making cracking sounds, as if he had made a huge decision. With a bang, Luo Huo smashed his iron fist on the table and growled, "I understand, it's all because we underestimated our opponent! Today is a very important lesson for us, I understand! "

"Oh? You understand! "Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Letian coldly asked.

"Prime Minister, please take charge of the headquarters. I will personally supervise the battle!" Since the enemy dares to fight in the field and take the initiative to charge forward, the Chinese guys are not cowards! "

"They want to use a massacre to stabilize our morale, and we also want to use slaughter to stabilize our arrogant confidence! If they dare to counterattack, we too will dare! "

"Since tonight is a battle of wills between two armies, then we absolutely cannot lose! No matter the casualties, regardless of the consequences, a death squadron would go for it! If we do not suppress the enemy's arrogance, then these Russian will become our inner demons! "

"If we don't crush them to death today, how will we face them head on in the future?! If the morale of thirty to twenty thousand soldiers is suppressed, then how can we fight in the future against a hundred thousand million strong army? "

"You cannot be afraid of wild beasts! I'll have to push it up! "
