Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Xiao Letian was not arrogant. He would not look down on any country just because he was a transcender.

A person's ability was bound to be limited, and a collective's ability was bound to be greater. Then what about a country and its people? The power they could muster together could change an entire era!

Xiao Letian remembered clearly that the future generation of Germany's scientific research strength had always been at the forefront of the world ever since the Franco-Prussian War. Until the end of the Second World War, German scientists were still competing for power in the USSR.

In the 20th and 21st century, most of the mainstream technology involved the German, such as generators, internal combustion engines, rocket technology, fighter jets, atomic bombs, and the nuclear industry. Even Nazi Germany had done research on flying saucers at the time.

Later generations, there were Historian's assertions that Germany lost in terms of resources in the First World War and the Second World War. Especially during the Second World War, Germany was basically being dragged down alive by the important strategic resource of oil.

At that time, if one were to talk about the advanced level of scientific research, Germany would definitely be a world leader, looking down on all other powers! Even the America was not their match.

Not only was it a practical scientific research, but in many aspects, the German was also at the forefront of the world. Philosophy, for example, and music.

Don't think that these things have nothing to do with natural science. Actually, philosophy also has the development of music. From the side, it is clear that this people have an extremely rich talent pool.

Philosophy and music are the most elite of human wisdom, and those who are not gifted are incapable of playing this game. To be able to produce a giant craftsman in these two areas, it could only mean that the population was huge!

Before Xiao Letian visited the Ruhr industrial area, he had a reunion with the Iron Blood Prime Minister Bismark once.

Using the effects of alcohol, Xiao Letian had once asked Bismark a question. That was, how strong was Prussia?

Bismark thought about it for a long time before replying calmly, "If the answer is only allowed, then the only thing I can tell you, is education!"

Education is the root of a people! Before the Franco-Prussian War, the illiteracy rate in the Prussian soldier was less than 1%, but what about France in the same period? The illiteracy rate was as high as 70%! Even the illiteracy rate in the British military is higher than 50%!

The exception, of course, was the British Navy, which, after all, was a high-tech force with zero illiteracy in the Navy.

This was the 19th century! It was terrible to have such data in Prussia! Out of a hundred soldiers, only one could not read.

Ordinary soldiers get a very good education, but what about workers and farmers? And, of course, a very good education, which ensured that Prussia could recruit far more workers and farmers than any other country.

Industrial strength was reflected in this point. Why were German industrial products of such good quality? That's because there are good people working in every segment.

Humanity's history books would always record those emperors and generals, or the leading figures in the industry! As for the small breakthroughs, small achievements, and contributions, no one cared!

It was as if the strength of a country depended on the excellence of those top-notch figures!

But the reality was the opposite! It is because of the contributions of countless outstanding and unknown people at the grassroots level that a country as a whole has become even more outstanding!

Today, an unknown craftsman had improved a screw!

Tomorrow, an unknown engineer will modify a boring tool!

An ordinary workshop manager of the day after tomorrow modified the processing flow!

There was also an experienced worker the day after tomorrow, modifying a gear's data!

It was in this series of extremely minute changes that a country's overall industrial strength would become more and more perfect.

Every single change was minuscule. When put together, it was minuscule. No one was willing to sing praises for them. Even some of their improvements were unable to provide them with an additional bonus.

It didn't matter. Even if there was no one to reward them, they would not be able to kill the country's driving force! Countless small changes accumulated together and formed a huge force!

How did a qualitative change come about? That's how it was done!

How is a perfect industrial product made? It was created like this!

Do you still dare to look down on Prussian industry? Now, do you still think that the scientific research strength of the Chinese people can boast about it?

The scolding silenced everyone in the carriage, and they put down their glasses and lowered their heads to reflect on the Führer's words.

Bing Tai sweated profusely as he realized that he said the wrong thing again.

Xiao Letian didn't want to make the atmosphere especially depressed. He waved his hand and raised his wine glass: "Come, I'm not reprimanding you guys. Today is a happy day, let's toast to the good results of today!"

"Actually, when Bing Tai Lang raised this question, it was also a good opportunity. I think all of you have the same little greed in your hearts. "Take this opportunity to unite your thoughts and give everyone an answer, so that you won't be gossiping behind the scenes …"

Hahaha … Everyone laughed as their wine cups clashed together, and the atmosphere of the banquet returned to its original state.

Amongst all the military officers, Sima Yun and Wang Huaiyuan drank the least, the two of them had been quietly listening to everyone's discussion.

Wang Junlan had been standing in the corner the entire time, recording down every single word that the leader had said with the help of two stenographer. This was the work of their Home Note team, as well as their greatest glory.

Sima Yun took out his pocket watch and looked at it carefully, then laughed: "There are still 40 minutes before we reach Berlin, I'm afraid that by the time the special train arrives, the sky will have already darkened!"

"Führer, please tell us more about Prussia's compulsory education. "To be honest, the Chinese currently do not attach much importance to compulsory education. The Ministry of Finance has previously complained to us in private about the fact that they despise the Ministry of Education for asking for too much funding …"

"There are even some complaints within the military. They think that the education grant has taken away their bullets and gunpowder. Many people hope that they can temporarily reduce the allocation for the Ministry of Education …"

Humph! Xiao Letian coldly snorted. "I have also heard this kind of gossip before, I can only say that one sentence was too short-sighted! People who have these kinds of thoughts are not worthy of being officials! "

"All of you better remember this, within the next hundred years, the Ministry of Education's allocation will only increase, and there is absolutely no possibility of decreasing it!"

"The living example of Prussia's rise is right in front of us. No one dares to talk behind our backs!"

"In the future, if anyone dares to gossip about the Chinese compulsory education policy, get lost and go back home to farm!" The Chinese do not need such officials! "
