From top to bottom, whether it is Tianhuang himself or the common people, the people of Jiaoben have a kind of worship for the strong in their bones.
They treat the strong with great respect and admiration, and they can’t wait to stick to them immediately. They don’t care even if they act as the other party’s younger brother or follower. They will try every means to learn the real skills from the other party.
As for the weak, their attitude is exactly the opposite. The people of Jiaoben treat the weak with extreme contempt and cruelty!
In their eyes, the weak are born to be bullied and don’t deserve to live in this world. Not only will they not pity and sympathize with the weak, but they will also laugh at and attack the weak, as if the other party is even wrong to breathe!
This culture began to be fully reflected after the Meiji Restoration in Jiaoben!
Before their Meiji Restoration, because the Celestial Empire had always been the founder of the East Asian order and the most powerful country in East Asia, the Chinese still admired the Celestial Empire very much. Although they did not regard the Celestial Empire as their suzerain, they always regarded the Celestial Empire as their teacher. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have continuously sent envoys to the Celestial Empire to learn the advanced experience and culture of the Celestial Empire.
Even today, many aspects of the Chinese Empire can be found in the shadow of the Celestial Empire.
For example, the kimono of the kimono, the kneeling way of the kimono, the ancient buildings of the kimono and the characters of the kimono, all of these aspects reflect the shadow of the Tang Dynasty. Even the samurai swords of the kimono were imitated from the Tang Dynasty’s Tang swords!
In ancient times, the Celestial Empire has always been the Celestial Empire and has always been the object of learning and imitation of the kimono.
However, in modern times, as Western countries took the lead in starting the industrial revolution, they quickly opened up the gap with the Celestial Empire and other countries such as the kimono.
After realizing that the Celestial Empire was no longer strong and that the real strong were in the West, the foot basin immediately carried out the Meiji Restoration, began to break away from Asia and join Europe, and learn from the Western powers, learning their advanced technology, culture and other things covering the entire society!
If their faces could not be changed, the foot basin would even hope to change their skin color and appearance, and it would be best if they could move the entire country to Europe, and truly realize the desire to break away from Asia and join Europe.
Compared with Europe, the backward Celestial Empire was still in the era of the Qing government. Such a backward and ignorant country naturally could not get the respect of the foot basin, so they treated their former teachers without any consideration, directly launched the Sino-Japanese War, beat their teachers, and then achieved their own economic take-off with a large amount of war reparations!
Since then, the economic and military strength of the foot basin has increased rapidly, reaching its peak in the Russo-Japanese War ten years later. When they defeated the arrogant bear, their strength was officially recognized by the great powers, and they themselves became new great powers!
After becoming a new great power, the foot basin looked down on its neighbor, the Celestial Empire, even more. After all, in their view, the Celestial Empire was so ignorant and incompetent, but it occupied such a large piece of land. This was simply a shameful waste!
Such land should be given to their excellent nation, the foot basin. Therefore, the foot basin people had no guilt at all for invading the Celestial Empire and encroaching on its land.
In their view, such things were as they should be. Only the truly strong could occupy the best resources. The Celestial Empire was an ignorant and backward country. They did not deserve to enjoy such a vast and rich land. This land should be given to the foot basin people to take care of.
Therefore, the militaristic thought combined with the foot basin people’s contempt for the weak. They were extremely fanatical about war. It was not just the young and strong who hoped to gain military merits and climb up through war to achieve their own class promotion.
Ordinary foot basin people also longed for war. They hoped to contribute their own strength to the country. They did not think that their actions of invading other countries were wrong, because in their hearts, the weak did not deserve to live at all!
This has been reflected ten years ago!
After participating in the First World War, the Japanese army once attacked the Hans Concession on the Jiaodong Peninsula. After the battle, the Japanese captured many German prisoners of war.
However, out of awe of Hans and the desire to create a civilized and ceremonial country in front of the world. The
Japanese did not dare to neglect these prisoners of war at all, and did not dare to treat them like the Chinese. Instead, they built special accommodations for them, provided various high-quality services, and hired many people to serve as instructors in the Japanese army at high salaries.
As a result, when Mainz came to visit these prisoners of war and planned to take them home, most of the prisoners of war were unwilling to go back. They stayed well in the foot basin, and they did not have such a good life after returning home, so they were all reluctant to leave. Except for a small number of people who followed Mainz back to China, most of them stayed and stayed in the foot basin.
Many of these people are still in Jiaoben. Even when the Japanese army attacked the Northeast region, more than 100,000 people were killed and injured by the weapons assisted by Hans. They did not vent their anger on these Hans people, but vented all their anger on the captured Northeast Army soldiers! They are also prisoners of war, but because of their different nationalities, their treatment is very different!
The style of Jiaoben people is reflected vividly!
Because Jiaoben has been paying attention to the war in Europe, they are so awed by Hans’ strength in their hearts.
To be honest, the Japanese army had a painful lesson in the bloody battle of the Brigade Shun Fortress. In order to conquer it, they paid a tragic price of tens of thousands of casualties.
Therefore, when Gaul built a Maginot Line in Europe that was more terrible than the fortress built by the Mao Xiong people, Jiaoben felt that the German army would suffer from it from top to bottom.
In their view, even if the German army’s combat effectiveness is very strong, if they want to break through such a solid fortress defense line, the German army will have to pay at least millions of casualties!
Moreover, this war might take three or four years or even longer. Hans might not win the war in the end. He might be dragged to death by the two powers like the first war.
However, when the war really started, the series of performances of the German army stunned the military!
How could the war be fought like this?
Why didn’t they think of this trick?
So, when the German army defeated Gaul in just 28 days, forced Gaul to surrender, and annihilated and captured more than 2.5 million allied troops, the foot basin was dumbfounded!
They couldn’t believe it was true!
If they were to fight this war, they would never have achieved such a brilliant record!
After all, they fought with a local warlord in the northeast of the Celestial Empire for more than a year before they took it down. If the warlord of the Celestial Empire was replaced by the two powers of Gaul and the Sun Never Sets, then even if all the 50 million people in the foot basin were sent to the battlefield, they would not be able to win this battle!
And what about the German army?
Not only did they do it, but they also did it in less than a month!
A comparison between the two sides showed that Hans’s strength far exceeded that of the foot basin, so Hans’s status in the hearts of the foot basin people instantly rose a lot!
