The Rise of the European Emperor

Strictly speaking, the current army of the Beihai Kingdom can only be regarded as a semi-feudal and semi-modern army. The reason for this is that most soldiers in the army are illiterate and have conservative ideas. Many modern military reforms are difficult to carry out in such an old-fashioned army. Among other things, the education level of army soldiers can dispel many of Marin's thoughts.

But these young non-commissioned officers are different. The education they have received since they were young is the education of later generations. The way of thinking is different from the Europeans of this era, and they are closer to later generations and smarter. After all, each of them has a certain level of education.

Moreover, each of them has very solid military skills, no less than veterans. The only shortcoming is probably the lack of actual combat experience.

However, such non-commissioned officers are also extremely malleable. Because of their high cultural quality and having received more than ten years of military education, these children have the potential to be trained as elite soldiers.

In addition, these teenagers have received more than ten years of brainwashing education, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty-this is the main reason why Marin wants to train them to be the best of the best.

He has a good cultural foundation and is extremely loyal. This is definitely an excellent soldier material!

In fact, only by traveling to this era can Marin deeply feel the historical generation gap between modern people and ancient people for hundreds of years. Hundreds of years of vicissitudes have led to completely different consciousness concepts between modern people and ancient people. The huge difference in cultural level also led to the poor plasticity of the ancients.

In fact, Marin has always been very strange. In those novels that travel through ancient times and make contributions, the protagonist travels through the past, and it is easy to train a completely ancient person into a modern elite soldier. How can it be so easy to resolve the hundreds of years of differences in ideas?

Perhaps, the difference between ordinary soldiers, the difference between ancient and modern is not so obvious. But the difference in the quality of military officers is very different. Without a certain cultural foundation, some slightly more complicated commands are difficult to understand.

Therefore, in this era, an uneducated officer does not have the ability to lead troops to perform tasks alone. The kind of novel that casually cultivates an ancient man into an excellent modern military officer is too fucking nonsense. Especially those who casually train domestic slaves into independent generals are the most nonsense.

Marin also tried to train all five of his servants to become generals, but in the end, only Schwartz, who came from a knight family, became a general because of his better background and culture. For a mindless person like Kahn, Marin can only use him as a strong brother like Dian Wei, and it is impossible to be the coach. And Garland and Tara can only go to the colony to open up wasteland, and they are not as good as Albert. As for Sauer, he can't compete with Kohler, who is naturally smart, in intelligence, but he wins in loyalty and dedication, which is also highly valued by Marin.

But no matter what,

For professional things, it is best to find professional people to do them. It would be too whimsical to train people with no background, even illiterates, into independent bosses. Unless, it is education from an early age.

Those adult ancient farmers can only be trained as a warrior with good executive ability at best. However, it is too difficult to become an important military officer with independent thinking ability.

Don't think that by opening a literacy class in the army, you can cultivate powerful people. Of course, this situation also exists. But those who can be cultivated into powerful characters in the literacy class may be peerless geniuses who have been delayed!

Marin lived in the countryside in his previous life, so it's not that he has never seen a rural literacy class. In fact, most of the illiterate farmers entered the literacy class to eliminate illiteracy, and the final result was that P was useless. Should it be a big boss, or a big boss. Only a small number of people with good talents will have an effect.

This is because, when many people become adults, their way of thinking is stereotyped. The most important thing is - they are used to not thinking about problems with their brains! Although the IQ is not necessarily low, but the brain has become a decoration. It is no less difficult to educate such a person into a person who is good at thinking.

Only those geniuses who are very talented in themselves, who are usually used to using their brains, and who are only delayed by family conditions, can stand out in the literacy class. Most of the rest, at most, learned to write their own names in literacy classes, and then learned a few more common words and place names, so that they would not get on the wrong bus or something.

These were all seen by Marin in later generations, not just bragging. Literacy classes and so on, just fool people who don't know how to do it. The real effect is actually not very good. But when publicizing afterwards, under the signal of the top, they all over-hyped the effect of literacy. People who don't know the truth read the report and thought that all the members of the literacy class were trained to become doctors...

Of course, it depends on the age group. For the literacy of minors, the effect is very good. After all, the world outlook of minors has not yet been finalized and is relatively malleable. For adults, the older they are, the more so-called life experiences they have, and the closer the literacy effect is to zero...

For example, in the early years when agricultural technicians began to appear in the countryside and taught farmers how to farm scientifically, many old farmers did not take it seriously. They said, "I've been farming for decades, don't I know better than you, little doll?", refusing to accept new agricultural technologies. Only after visible results have been achieved in the experimental field, these old people will accept the new technology. Therefore, later generations have a term called "agricultural demonstration field", which is to show the actual results to those stubborn old farmers.

In short, the older ones are, the less valuable they are for cultivation. Because their worldview and cognitive ability have been solidified, it is difficult to make breakthroughs. Only minors, because they have not yet formed a complete world view, can be easily transformed.

As for the film and television works of later generations, our army literacy for illiterate soldiers... Well, the screenwriter will never tell you that it only works for a small number of people...

Just like the uncle of Marin's later generations, he was a scumbag. He served in our army for several years and took a lot of literacy courses, but he was still a scumbag when he came back! Although I have made meritorious service in the Vietnam War, because the scumbags are hopeless, even if the platoon leader was injured for a period of time, he could only be arranged to work as a worker in the factory (the workers were quite popular at that time) ). Otherwise, I would have done it long ago...

Moreover, what needs to be seen is that many famous generals in our army before the founding of the People's Republic of China were actually graduated from Huangpu. For example, among the 10 Marshals, He Lao, who is the least educated, has also studied in a private school for 5 years, which is equivalent to the level of graduating from elementary school. And Mr. Zhu, Mr. Chen and others have directly studied abroad.

In addition, during the Anti-Japanese War, many college students in the Beijing-Tianjin area went south to participate in the Anti-Japanese War after the fall of North China, and were absorbed by our army and became important military commanders. There are also many people who have studied in the Anti-Japanese University.

Therefore, although the main force of our army at the grassroots level is peasants, at the commander level, there are actually many high-level generals. Otherwise, Bald Jiang's army of several million people would not be able to deal with it. Let’s take a look at the statistics—I, General D, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, there are more than 60 people, and this does not include the teaching staff of Boss Zhou...

This is just a Whampoa Military Academy, not including those lecture halls in various places. There are also generals with low education levels like Li Yunlong in the novel, but not many can really reach the top level. Moreover, they have also studied with those big guys who graduated from Whampoa and other schools. How can you know so much without professional guidance?

In addition, workers and peasants, why do workers, who are a minority, dominate? Because many workers are literate...

You let an illiterate command tens of thousands of troops try? I'm afraid I can't even remember the number of the troops, and I can't count the food and grass. Let alone commanding and fighting, I can't do daily management.

Therefore, soldiers can make do with it, but officers cannot make do with it. Those who traveled through ancient times and were able to build a modern army by relying on a group of illiterates are a bit too nonsense.

Of course, that's a pure YY novel, without paying attention to rationality. If you really want to worry about it, most novels have various bugs. After all, the threshold for web writing is very low. Many people who don't understand history at all and have only watched a few crap TV dramas dare to write historical novels...

...

In fact, the ancient Chinese ancestors knew about this problem. Therefore, there is a saying that "a thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find". In other words, the quality of officers determines the upper limit of the army.

It is precisely because of this that Marin had to wait for the growth of those children's non-commissioned officers. Because, the previous generals couldn't keep up with the cultural and ideological levels...

And these teenagers who have grown up with new education have also become the basis for Marin's modern military reforms!
