Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

It was still the old saying that Xiao Letian often said. A God's perspective and strategic vision were very important. Currently, in the different countries of the world, there were very few academies that trained strategist s, and most of the courses in Europe's military academies were only focused on the tactical level.

For example, how the two sides would deploy their forces, cover their firepower, gather intelligence, etc., how the two fleets would organize, change positions, seize the upper hand, how to deploy their firepower during a battle on the sea, and so on.

This was an era where tactics came one after another, but there were not many real strategist, because the real strategist was already one of the politicians.

Without geopolitical insight, without a profound view of the world, without a very deep study of human history, one must be an expert in geography, not to mention the development and characteristics of various civilizations.

Well, if you can't do that, you won't be able to rise up to the ranks of the military strategist, and most of these talents will be accepted by the civil political system.

After such an elite has accumulated knowledge for half a lifetime, please remember that such a talent is not born. It is absolutely impossible to accumulate and accumulate knowledge without having spent half a lifetime.

After half a lifetime of hard work, they would have to face two more choices when they reached the harvest date. One was to directly enter the civil service to govern the country, and the other was to continue their studies and at the very least become a qualified tactician.

Alright, when such an elite breaks away from the military and enters the civil service, he can become a good politician. However, if he wanted to become a strategist, he had to take the second route.

In the history of the human race, it was very rare for strategist to appear at such a crucial time, and one or two of them were already considered to be a blessing for the human race. If one were to use Xiao Letian's and Ceng Guofan's words, such a person would already belong to the Hidden Dragon Bloodline.

Napoleon could be considered a strategist, but of course, Bismark could also be considered a strategist. Queen Victoria, Qiu Jier even considered Xiao Letian's current enemy, Napoleon III, could be considered a member of the strategist.

The president and principal that were known to all the Chinese in the future generations were the most outstanding among all the strategist.

If strategist was said to be the group of people closest to gods in this world, then it was understandable, because the way they viewed this world was completely different. One was flying in the sky and looking down at the earth, while the other was standing in the forest and being blocked from sight.

The same geographical coordinates, just because the height was different, gave a completely different analysis.

Kevin was an outstanding engineer and scientist. He was an elite in metallurgy, mechanical manufacturing and naval manufacturing in Prussia, but he did not have a strategic vision. He was just an ordinary scientist.

But Xiang Ying was not like that. This guy was the nephew of the Dragon Lord, second generation officials like Lin Zhen and the others were completely settled, the care Xiao Letian had for them was absolute. Of course, this kind of care was not about money and power, but knowledge.

Xiang Ying would never forget the little class that the Prime Minister gave them, especially the shocking hot air balloon class.

On the west mountain in Beijing, the heat exchanger was tied up by a long rope to a five hundred metre high altitude. It was clearly summer, but Xiao Letian and the children were still wearing their clothes like bears in the cold sky.

Xiao Letian would not say more than one sentence. He only asked for everyone to see it, and kept looking at it. Then, he started to draw on the drawing board in his hands, asking them to draw all the mountains and rivers in front of them.

Not only that, but all the students had to calculate the height of each mountain by trigonometry, using the angle of sunlight and the shadow of the mountain, and draw contour lines on the map.

800 meters, 700 meters, 500 meters, 400 meters … These children had to observe every height themselves, as a three-dimensional map of the mountains and rivers gradually formed in their minds. They truly turned the entire Beijing Belt into a game of chess in their hearts.

Children, if you want to obtain my heaven-defying skill, then from now on, all of you will become Divine Buddha, opening your perspective of God. If you can't learn how to look down on all living beings from the clouds, then don't call me your disciple …

After spending countless days and nights, the children spent an entire summer in the Western Mountain. They even compared the times they had spent with Ming Shi to draw the route of Manchu in the Military Maps again, trying to figure out why the Manchu was fighting like this, how Ming Jun should fight it, and how they should fight it, over and over again. In the end, what they refined was their higher and higher strategic view.

When Kevin tried to use strategic issues to make things difficult for Xiang Ying, the other foreign students all smiled. They knew that Kevin was about to be abused.

The map of Europe was spread out on the deck as Xiang Ying drew a circle around Berlin. "Is this Prussia?" This is Poland, Russia, Sweden, the Baltic Sea... "

"To the west are the British and the French. The Channel is completely under the control of these two countries, and their cannons can even control the Strait of Dover …"

"And look at the North Sea. What do the Oakland Islands and Shetland Islands look like? Yes, it is a lid that the Royal Navy made for a powerful country in continental Europe. "

"You are a highly educated scholar and you know the importance of the sea. If any people leave the sea trade, can they still live? "It's definitely impossible …"

"What do you mean?" That Prussia is now trading in the sea, too? Haha, my Mr. Kevin, do you know how much of a threat this kind of unsafe trade is to a country? The Chinese are very particular about not eating free food. Do you really think that the proud Prussia would eat the leftovers that others bestowed upon them? "

"You need the overseas colonies, you need the safe passage across the ocean, this is the future hope of Prussia, please wake up …"

"As of now, Prussia's oceanic trade volume is still very low, so Britain doesn't need to throw such a bowl of rice at you. But have you thought about it, one day Prussia will unite the entire German Nationality, and at that time, the territory that the King of Prussia can control will increase by four to five times, and the total economy will increase by more than ten times …"

Xiang Ying sneered and said, "When that time comes, you Prussians will have to increase the volume of our trade in the ocean by at least twenty times … "You need a base of raw materials, you need a dumping ground for industrial products, you need to supply more ports for the ocean-going fleet. When your strength can threaten the status of Britain, who do you think will reward you with this meal?"
