Chapter 1420 The cornerstone of the colonial empire
It is not unreasonable that Chinese people are rich for three generations. Because parents have paved the way for their children, why are they still struggling with? They can become winners in life even if they lie down...
No matter how poor I raise my son, his son has understood since childhood that when the old man dies, everything will be mine. Why should I work hard?
Not to mention the eldest son, even the younger son will know that the old man is dead, and he will always give me some of it, which will be enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life...
Therefore, the wealthy families in China are often rich for only three generations. Because they began to fall from the second generation. The so-called aristocratic spirit in the European style is that no one except the boss has no future. What they have is only the pride of the nobles and their concerns about the future... Under the heavy pressure, other noble children except the boss are often more motivated. On the contrary, the bosses who are determined to inherit the family business often become useless...
In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called "noble spirit" is a culture - a future that makes you feel proud and honored from your bloodline, but without guarantee...
Because of blood pride (actually self-confidence), and concerns about the future, people have to work hard. Otherwise, they will "insult" their origins...
To put it bluntly, this is a culture of deception - your ancestors tell you that your blood is noble. But where is the noble? I don’t have the right to inherit... But, you must be face... What should you do? Go and work hard... If you don’t work hard, you will lose your glory, which is extremely embarrassing...
In this kind of big fooling environment, many noble children who had no inheritance rights could only fight to the death. In ancient Europe, the most direct way to fight to the death was to go to the battlefield...
Therefore, in World War I, Britain died too many noble children. Then, the army became the world of civilians. But civilians did not agree with the British Empire's colonial system, so after World War II, Britain was not willing to maintain the colonial empire. Then, Britain died and its colonial empire collapsed... This was mainly because the colonial system was mainly beneficial to the aristocratic class. But when they died, the civilians cared more about their rights and interests, so naturally they would not protect any colonial interests... In addition to the American forced the British, the British gave up the colony...
After all, the interests of the colonies are mainly in the hands of the aristocratic class. Especially the children of the aristocratic people who have no inheritance rights...
In modern European colonial empires, the eldest son often kept his ancestral property and the rest went to colonies to explore. This is also an important reason why Europeans can control many colonies - because many noble children who are not eldest sons need to make profits for themselves!
It is impossible for the local people to go to the colony because the local interests have been divided up and they are all of them belong to the eldest sons. Therefore, the nobles are not the eldest sons, so they can only go to the colony to grab land!
Therefore, to put it bluntly, the main interests of the colony are actually in the hands of the noble branches. Many officials in the colony are mostly children of nobles who have no inheritance rights.
However, the first battle caused most of the children of the British aristocrats to die in battle. This led to a sharp decline in Britain's control over the colony...
It’s not that the British army’s strength has declined, but that the civilian officers who were promoted have no benefits in the colony. What? Let us civilians suppress the uprising in the colony for your noble children? Is it a coin to suppress Nima? It’s my Mao business?
The army has no mind to take care of the colonies, what can Britain do? In addition, there are many civilians in the parliament who sympathize with the independence of the colonies, so Britain has to give up the colonies. As for the interests of the children of the nobles who died in battle? Who cares? If everyone dies, let everything disappear...
Of course, all this is all the British who are trying to die on their own. What kind of world war is there? After all the noble officers were wiped out, naturally no one will maintain the colonial system...
...
Marin was also worried when he remembered the unlucky encounters of the British in the future. Because his son was about to take over the UK. So, these are very important...
How to maintain the colonial empire? Marin thought for a long time and finally came up with a solution - rewarding the land to the meritorious soldiers...
Any soldier who can make achievements is more powerful. As for the useless man who cannot make achievements, he doesn’t care...
If the interests of soldiers with strong combat power are in the colony, then if you suppress the rebellion in the colony, you will be ruthless - Nima coins, how much does your colony mean to be independent? Want to blacken your buddy's land? Look at you, you will not be too young!
Of course, it is inevitable that the children of nobles will obtain land in the colony. Because those children of nobles are all military officers!
Although Marin is now vigorously promoting civilians to officers, sooner or later, the North Sea Congress will form a new military aristocratic class. At that time, a large number of military aristocratic children will appear. And they will naturally become officers, and they will start as second lieutenants.
As for the civilian class, Malin's plan is to cap the sergeant chief in peacetime. When encountering war, he can break through this cap with his military achievements...
As a monarch, you must not always rely on civilians, as that would be put before the horse. Therefore, in the future, Marin's colonial empire would have to rely on those military nobles. The reason is similar to what the British encountered - the colonies did not have the interests of civilians, so why should they help you maintain the colonial empire?
Of course, since the generations have to rely on the children of aristocrats, they must not be lenient in their education to avoid the emergence of playboys.
Therefore, military academy and other things must be established. Then, the children of nobles must board in the military academy and are not allowed to live home. They can only go home on holidays. The military academy is closed, so they naturally cannot be casual. When they are encouraged to grow up, they will not easily become playboys.
...
It was because of Marin's thoughts that the children of European aristocrats feared the emergence of full-time boarding military academies in later generations. This kind of military academies is not just a university, but it starts from junior high school.
From the junior high school stage, as long as the nobles are not disabled, they must enter full-time boarding military academy to study. They are locked up in the military academy all day, they must take care of their own life, and the materials are distributed by the school... The nobles' etiquette and other things can only go home for vacation. In the military academy, they only know how to fight...
Because I received such a rigorous education since I was a child, the children of the nobles in the Beihai Kingdom were all war machines. Whenever I encountered war, the children of the nobles participated enthusiastically, and they were all fierce, which made European countries unable to take care of themselves...
