Chapter 151 Military Nationalism (3rd update, please subscribe)
Navy. In fact, Nanhua has no navy.
There isn’t even an army. Is the security team an army?
Of course not. As for the sea… is the Coast Guard considered a navy? And it only has two schooners.
Even those two ships were only for these students to get familiar with life at sea. As for conducting naval operations?
It's just wishful thinking.
Are they considered navy?
Of course...not counting.
In fact, everything here is still in its infancy.
time!
Construction takes time, and the cultivation of talents requires time accumulation. There is no shortcut. Even if Zhu Xianhai wants to solve it by spending money, he cannot do so.
"Ten thousand years is too long, let's seize the day!"
Before leaving the construction site of the Naval Academy, Zhu Xianhai silently glanced at the cadets training on the beach. Some of the 600 cadets aged between 12 and 15 would join the security team. To a certain extent, these children were the armed forces of South China. In the simulator, they were also the backbone of the resistance. However, at that time, South China trained too few officers, after all, the size of its army was limited.
With the lessons learned from the simulator, Zhu Xianhai has made up his mind to implement "full militarization". This militarization is not just about training officers, but will be comprehensive from the education of new immigrants to national education.
"In other words, the core of Nanhua from now on is 'military nationalism'!"
In the conference room, facing his staff, Zhu Xianhai directly expressed his thoughts.
“Military nationalism?”
Qian Deshan, Fang Zhanbo, Sun Muli and others were all surprised when they heard this.
"I wonder what the lord means by military nationalism?"
Fang Zhanbo asked.
"Martial arts!"
After spitting out these two words, Zhu Xianhai said.
"The Han people are the most docile and cowardly people among all other races. They are submissive and servile, groaning under the barbarians, and are not ashamed of being servile. The Zhou Dynasty was against the Western Rong, the Han Dynasty was against the Xiongnu, the Jin Dynasty was against the Five Barbarians, the Tang Dynasty was against the Turks, the Song Dynasty was against the Jin, Liao, and Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty was against the Qing Dynasty, and the present is against Britain, Russia, France, the United States, and Western countries. For more than 2,000 years, they have rarely not been trampled by foreign races. Iron hooves have spread all over the Central Plains, but the Central Plains have become a ruin. Wherever the smell of stench reaches, it is like tiles breaking, like ice splitting, and yellow The land north of the river is like a barbarian pasture. Alas! The whole country is like an opium-addicted scholar, like an old woman with leprosy, and it is no wonder that it is defeated when fighting against a strong and brave man! The fundamental reason why China is backward and beaten, and thus has not become a country, is that it lacks a martial spirit and a people with military knowledge. In today's great world, South China wants to stand on its own in South America. In today's great world, if we do not popularize military nationalism among tens of millions of compatriots, we will really perish..."
Zhu Xianhai's remarks basically paraphrased Cai E's "Military and Nationalist Articles". Perhaps that article had its historical limitations, but what is certain is that it was indeed a powerful article advocating the martial spirit. Although he might not be able to recite it by heart, he could still use it.
However, even though Cai E's writings are thought-provoking, it is certain that the Chinese people in the 1860s did not feel any deep pain. From the opening of the country's doors in the Opium War to the cession of territory and payment of indemnities in the following decades, except for at least a few people who were aware of the crisis, from the emperor to the minions, from the minions to the slaves, all they thought about was maintaining the rule of the Qing Dynasty. As for what would happen to China... who had ever thought about it?
Even during the Sino-Japanese War, the servants in the court who were there to share the emperor's worries were all secretly happy in their hearts - the little Japan was now sharing the worries of the Qing Dynasty. After this war, Li Hongzhang's wings were completely eliminated and he no longer had to be feared! What a great thing!
As for ceding territory and paying compensation, as long as the Qing Dynasty can rule China well, ceding territory and paying compensation is the big deal.
They were almost applauding. As for vigilance and crisis of consciousness, how was that possible?
Even if there were some people who realized the crisis in the face of the reality of being defeated by the Japanese, what would happen? In the Gengzi year, the Japanese invaded the capital, and what was the result?
Measure China’s material resources and the favor of its friendly countries!
It was at this time that scholars all over the world felt the crisis of national extinction and broke with the Qing Dynasty in the next ten years.
Right now, these people are aware of the survival crisis... Are you kidding! Their dream of the Celestial Empire has not been shattered yet!
"Education is the foundation of the country and the spirit of society. The strength of the human race and the changes and flows of world trends are all determined by education. ... The current education of the Qing Dynasty is not so much education as it is destroying the talents of young people, making them qualified to be slaves in the future. How can such corrupt slaves fight against the brave citizens of the enemy country without being defeated? Therefore, if Nanhua wants to promote military nationalism, it must promote military national education, and military national education can be divided into two stages: national society military national education and school compulsory education."
Zhu Xianhai set the tone right away. In other words, he had already made a plan, and you just had to follow it.
"In addition to increasing the number of military training hours for the new immigrant camps, factories and farms must all have one day of intensive training every week... Well, Westerners have Sundays, but we don't pray for a savior, nor do we have any gods or Buddhas. The only way to win is to fight! While others pray to gods and Buddhas, we must conduct military training, everyone!"
In other words, everyone is a soldier!
In the simulator, what is the more important factor that enabled Nanhua to persist in the war of resistance for many years with its inferior population, besides the relatively complete military industry that supported the weapons and ammunition needed for the war?
Every citizen is a soldier!
In the simulator, due to reasons such as insufficient population and external threats, Nanhua has been implementing compulsory military service. It is precisely because of years of compulsory military service that Nanhua has more than 200,000 reserve troops.
Good experiences should be learned, carried forward, and even expanded. In another world, there are too many mature experiences for reference, such as the militia system in Guangxi and the military service system in Switzerland and Finland. All of them can be fully learned and even used.
"Gentlemen, the soul is civilized, while the body is barbaric. If a barbaric body is used to civilize the soul, the civilized race will inevitably fail. The Romans could not resist the barbarians in the Germanic forests, and the Han race was defeated by the Mongols and replaced by the Qing Dynasty. This is the reason."
Looking at everyone, Zhu Xianhai spoke earnestly.
"In the past, Sparta was able to dominate Greece, Rome was able to rule Europe, the Mongols were able to run rampant in the East, and the Germanic barbarians were able to defeat Rome. It was not because they had extraordinary wisdom, but because they were physically strong, and could accept the extreme cold and heat, wind, rain, and hunger without feeling the pain. Only with a strong and indomitable physique can one have an unyielding spirit. With an unyielding spirit, one can then have unfathomable wisdom and strategies, and only then can one carry heavy loads and explore the world! You must know that when Westerners explore the New World, they also have to conquer this place by force in order to survive here. Now if Nanhua wants to survive here, it must implement a military-civilian policy, and all citizens must be soldiers, ready to fight at any time, in order to win the right to survive on this land. Otherwise, how could Westerners tolerate Chinese people living here?"
