"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!..."

Mark Twain saw that His Majesty Clint Lee didn't speak for a long time. He was afraid that something would happen, so he spoke and asked.

"Oh, this..." Li Mengyang recovered from the long-term exam. He said to Mark Twain: "In this way, I have a problem that needs to be thought about. I agree with this party establishment, but what party to build, I..."

"Of course, I said early in the morning that this party wants His Holiness to serve as chairman. In fact, if you don't do this, it will be difficult for this party to develop." Mark Twain knew what His Majesty Clint Lee wanted to say.

"Okay! But I want to think carefully, because this matter is of great importance and you must not do it hastily. In this way, you go back first, oh, those military police..." Li Mengyang remembered that Mark Twain was wearing a reactionary hat.

"It's okay! Your Majesty, I don't care about these things." Mark Twain showed his literary character.

"I'm really a good comrade." Li Mengyang shook hands with Mark Twain and said with emotion.

After seeing off Mark Twain, he also told everyone that you can go back and that I, the emperor, have to think about things well. So Li Mengyang returned to his office and he is not going to leave tonight!

Regarding this matter, the founding of the Party and the military have difficulty recruiting troops. How come these two things are linked?

It should be said that in Li Mengyang's eyes, these two things are now, not before. He didn't care much before, but now, Li Mengyang thinks this is a major event that concerns the future development of the entire empire!

So, he must think carefully and come up with a plan!

What's going on? Why is it serious?

It must be important, and it is the first major!

Regarding the importance of building a party, Mark Twain said it was already good, and Li Mengyang agreed, but what kind of party to build is necessary to talk about it carefully and cannot be done easily.

And the current problem is that the recruitment of soldiers is in trouble again. This matter is very urgent and difficult to deal with!

In order to do this, Li Mengyang needs to develop all his knowledge, logical thinking, and everything!

Is it that powerful?

It's really that awesome!

First of all, why are there difficulties in recruiting soldiers?

Li Mengyang also encountered this situation when he was in Panama. But at that time, his main recruitment target was Chinese. Of course, the main target of the current situation is actually Chinese, but you should know that there are still a large number of other races in the American Empire!

In other words, the Chinese at that time were considering the idea of ​​being at a loss for a small wealth and being at a low level. What they thought was that their lives could be stable. So what kind of bird fight would they fight?

This thinking is the direct cause of the difficulty in recruiting soldiers at that time. It was very obvious. So what about now?

Could it be that our Chinese minds are contagious? Why don’t you come to join the army for those white people, or black people, or even some Indians?

Obviously, this kind of thinking means that ‘have a stable life and then you don’t want to fight anymore’. This is human nature!

Of course, the Chinese were in a relatively very ignorant state at that time. However, after education and a lot of publicity in the current empire, the Chinese's ignorance will naturally be changed to a certain extent, but they are still like this, which shows that human nature is so powerful.

To be honest, if you put it on yourself, you will have a good life, but it will be really stupid to join the army!

Yes, the reason behind this thinking is that the empire is now in a good life!

The economy is developing well, industries in all aspects are very good, the unemployment rate is almost zero, and even disabled women actively participate in the work.

Of course, perhaps part of the reason for the difficulty in recruiting soldiers is that society needs workers, but this is definitely not the main reason, because the empire does not need many soldiers now.

As long as the battlefield is confrontation in Delnot, it is confrontation, and both sides are so exhausted, and there are not many casualties. And there is another reason, that is, the number of soldiers a country can afford is limited and proportional.

Therefore, the main reason for the difficulty in recruiting soldiers is that the people do not want to join the army, and they must have a good life. It is stupid to join the army.

But, is this concept correct?

It’s obviously wrong. As the saying goes, if you are wary, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger!

A good country cannot ignore war and must always be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Then, if you look at it this way, the solution seems to be out. To promote this idea, let all the citizens know that we cannot forget the war.

I have to say that this is a method, but this method is a way to treat symptoms but not root causes, because this is a means of public opinion. If you want to treat the root causes, you must use something else. Li Mengyang thought of the system!

Yes, at this time he thought of the system. Isn’t that very strange?

It’s not surprising, because Li Mengyang has actually not had the power to weaken the system, but the system should be used where it should be used!

So how do we solve this problem? How can we solve the root cause? How can we get the masses to be enthusiastic about recruiting soldiers?

Li Mengyang thought of a word, which is called citizen!

citizen?!

The citizens mentioned here are not current citizens, but citizens from thousands of years ago!

Did there be citizens at that time?

There is, there is in ancient Greece and there is also in ancient Rome!

Why contact this citizen? What is the most powerful thing about this citizen?

It's very simple, because the citizens at that time were indeed very powerful, and they were obliged to join the army to fight for ancient Greece or ancient Rome!

Note that this is called obligation, which means that citizens must join the army. In fact, at that time, citizens were very expensive and not something that ordinary people could own. In other words, these citizens had a good life. But they still had to join the army and fight for the country!

Hey, Li Mengyang thought of citizenship at this time. Isn’t this a natural thing?

Why do citizens have to join the army?

In fact, it is very simple. This is the obligation of a citizen. Since you are a citizen, you must join the army. That is, the obligations and rights of a citizen are stipulated.

This involves the key, obligation and rights!

As long as you have studied Marxism philosophy, you will know that obligations and rights complement each other, and what kind of obligations are fulfilled can you have what kind of rights. And this source is actually in Greece and Rome thousands of years ago.

And there are a few small history that are particularly interesting. This small history was later made into a movie. Li Mengyang knew it anyway. This movie is called "300 Warriors"!

Yes, "Spartan 300 Warriors"!

What's going on with real history?

In fact, it is roughly similar to the movie, which is the Persian king Xerxes I at that time. He wanted to attack Greece, and then met the 300 warriors of Sparta at the Hot Spring Pass. It was indeed Leonidas I, the Spartan monarch, and the two sides fought a great battle. As a result, Xerxes suffered a great loss.

In this matter, movies naturally have a lot of exaggerations, but if we really return to the facts of history, it is that Xerxes' strength at that time was very terrifying.

How far has Xerxes reached the level of the emperor?

He is considered a god!

This is the belief that it is not only himself, but also others think that Xerxes is a god. There is something happening. When this guy passed by the sea, he felt that the ship was particularly bumpy. It was on the sea, but as a result, he did something.

Swipe the sea for thirty whips!

Xerxes is a person who can do such a thing, and the key is that his subordinates think this is right. They really think Xerxes is a god, otherwise what can they do?

At that time, I brought an army of more than 200,000, and more than 200,000, which was definitely an unprecedented number back then. This scale was rarely achieved in the wars on the European continent.

But with such strong strength, Leonidas led 300 warriors, and in fact there were some reinforcements, with more than 1,000 people. After three days of persistence, he really fought bloody battles and stood until the last one!

If you can fight the war to this point, with such a small number of people, no one will retreat in the end. Why?

Is it what the movie says, Leonidas is very skilled in martial arts? The Spartans are extremely brave?

No, absolutely not. Maybe many people say how the Spartans are, how to cultivate their descendants and what kind of soldiers they become, but in fact that is not right.

Because in Greece at that time, even as long as there were citizens, their way of fighting was to form a formation!

In dense formations, everyone gathered together, and then...

Cut with your opponent!

Don’t doubt that this was the way of combat in Europe at that time, just like this, but later the spear formation was used, and there were only a few changes!

So how could this be a situation like that?

Later, Xerxes won, but he paid for the loss of at least 20,000 people! Moreover, the morale of the army was shocked, and he was afraid of it.

Why is this happening?

It’s very simple, because the 300 Spartan warriors at that time were actually all tall, handsome and rich, they were all citizens and militias!

Yes, it is because of this reason that they have to fight to the last person!

This is why Li Mengyang now thinks of citizens, because if they are citizens, how could they refuse to join the army?

But it seems wrong. Are the people of the current American Empire not citizens?

In this matter, it should be said that they are citizens, but there is a difference between the current citizens and the citizens back then, and the difference is still very big!

So, is Li Mengyang going to restore the Greek citizenship system? Imperialize Greece?

No! Li Mengyang will never retreat, but he thinks there are some places we can learn from... (To be continued)
