Strictly speaking, the current army of Beihai Kingdom can only be regarded as a semi-feudal and semi-modern army. The reason for this is that most of the soldiers in the army are illiterate and have conservative ideas. Many modern military reforms are difficult to carry out in such old-fashioned military styles. Not to mention, the level of the military soldiers' cultural level can dispel many of Marin's ideas.
These young non-commissioned students are different. The education they received since childhood is the kind of education they received in later generations. The way of thinking is different from the Europeans in this era, closer to later generations, and smarter. After all, they all have a certain level of culture.
Moreover, each of them has very solid military skills, no less than that of veterans. The only disadvantage is probably the lack of practical experience.
However, such non-commissioned officers are also extremely malleable. Because of their high cultural qualities and more than ten years of militarized education, these children have the potential to be trained to become elite soldiers.
In addition, these teenagers have received more than ten years of brainwashing education, and their loyalty is absolutely fine - this is the main reason why Marin wants to train them into elites.
He has a good cultural foundation and is very loyal. This is definitely a great elite!
In fact, only by traveling to this era can Marin deeply feel the historical gap between modern people and ancient people for hundreds of years. The vicissitudes of hundreds of years have led to completely different consciousness concepts of modern people and ancient people. The huge differences in cultural levels have also led to poor plasticity of the ancient people.
Marin has always been very strange. In those novels that travel through ancient times to make achievements, the protagonist travels through time and can easily train a completely ancient man into a modern elite soldier. How can hundreds of years of conceptual differences be solved so easily?
Perhaps, the differences between ordinary soldiers and the differences between ancient and modern times are not so obvious. But the differences between officers' qualities are very different. Without a certain cultural foundation, some slightly more complicated commands will be difficult to understand.
Therefore, in this era, an uneducated officer did not have the ability to lead troops alone to carry out tasks. The novel of randomly cultivating an ancient man into an excellent modern officer is too nonsense. Especially those who randomly cultivate family slaves into generals who stand alone are the most nonsense.
Marin also tried to train all five of his servants to become generals, but as a result, Schwartz, who came from the Cavaliers' family, became generals because of his good foundation and culture. Marin, who was brainless like Kahn, could only use him as a powerful general like Dian Wei, and could not be the head coach at all. Garland and Tara could only go to colonies to open up land, and they were not as good as Albert. As for Shaw, he could not defeat Kohler, who was born smart, but his victory was due to his loyalty and dedication, and he was highly valued by Marin.
But no matter what, it is best to find professional people to do professional things. It would be too whimsical to train people who have no foundation or even illiteracy to become independent bosses, unless they are educated since childhood.
Those adult ancient peasants could only be trained to be a warrior with good execution ability. However, it would be too difficult to become an important officer with independent thinking ability.
Don’t think that opening a literacy class in the army can produce a great person. Of course, this situation also happens. But people who can be trained to become a powerful person in the literacy class may be all the peerless geniuses who have been delayed!
Malin lived in the countryside in his previous life, but he had seen literacy classes in rural areas. In fact, most illiterate farmers entered the literacy class for literacy, but the end result was that they were not used. They should be either rude or rude. Only a few of them had good talents would have effect.
This is because many people have a fixed way of thinking when they become adults. The most important thing is that they are used to thinking without their brains! Although their IQ is not necessarily low, their brains have become decorations. It is no less difficult to educate such people into talents who are good at thinking.
Only those geniuses who are very talented and are used to using their brains and are only delayed by family conditions can have the ability to stand out in the literacy class. Most of the rest learn to write their own names at most in the literacy class, and then learn more common words and place names so as not to take the wrong car or something.
These were all seen by Marin in his later generations, not boasting. The literacy class and other things are just fooling people who don’t understand the profession. The real effect is actually not very good. But when the publicity was made afterwards, they were over-boasting the literacy effect under the instructions of the above. After reading the report, people who didn’t know the truth thought that all the members of the literacy class were trained to become doctors...
Of course, this depends on age. For minors, the effect is very good. After all, the worldview of minors has not yet been established and has strong plasticity. For adults, the older they are and the more experience they are in life, the closer the literacy effect is to zero...
For example, in the early years, when agricultural technicians began to appear in rural areas and taught farmers to farm scientifically, many old farmers disagreed. They said, "I have planted fields for decades, aren't I better understand than you, a little boy?" and refused to accept new agricultural technology. Only after achieving visible results on the experimental fields can these elderly people accept new technologies. Therefore, there was a term in later generations called "agricultural demonstration fields", which is to show the actual results of those stubborn old farmers.
In short, the older the age, the less valuable it is to cultivate. Because their worldview and cognitive abilities have been solidified, it is difficult to make any breakthroughs. Only minors, because they have not yet formed a complete worldview, can easily transform.
As for later film and television works, our army literate illiterate soldiers... Well, the screenwriter will never tell you, it will only work for a small number of people...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just like Marin's uncle, a poor student, who joined our army for several years and attended many literacy classes, he was still a poor student when he returned! Although he had made contributions to the Vietnam battlefield, because the poor student was hopeless, even after the platoon leader was injured, he had to arrange for him to be a worker after he was transferred to the factory (the workers were quite popular at that time). Otherwise, he would have been promoted long ago...
Moreover, it should be noted that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, many famous generals actually graduated from Huangpu. For example, among the 10 Marshals, Mr. He, who had the worst education, also studied in a private school for 5 years, which was equivalent to the level of primary school graduation. Mr. Zhu, Mr. Chen and others directly studied.
In addition, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, many college students from Beijing and Tianjin went south to participate in the anti-Japanese war after the fall of North China, and were absorbed by our army and became important military commanders. Many people also studied at the Anti-Japanese University.
Therefore, although the main force of our army at the grassroots level is all peasants, there are actually many high-level generals and officials at the command level. Otherwise, they would not be able to deal with Jiang Guangtou's millions of troops. Just take a look at the data - there are more than 60 generals who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, which does not include the faculty and staff of Zhou Daeng...
This is just a Whampoa Military Academy, and it does not include martial arts lecture halls in various places. There are also generals and officials with low cultural level like Li Yunlong in the novel, but not many people can truly reach the top level. Moreover, they have also studied with those big men who graduated from Huangpu and other schools. Without professional guidance, how can they know so much?
In addition, the workers and peasants united, why do workers dominate the minority? Because many workers are literate...
If you ask an illiterate commander to command tens of thousands of troops, I’m afraid you can’t even remember the number of troops and the food and grass. Not to mention commanding wars, you can’t do daily management.
Therefore, soldiers can get the right to settle down, but officers can't get the right to settle down. Those who travel through the ancient times and rely on a group of illiterate people to build a modern army is a bit nonsense.
Of course, it is a pure YY novel, which does not pay attention to rationality. If you really want to worry about it, most novels have various bugs. After all, the threshold for online literature is very low. Many people who do not understand history at all and have only watched a few nonsense costume TV series, dare to write historical novels...
...
In fact, the ancestors of ancient China knew this problem. Therefore, there was a saying that "a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find." In other words, the quality of officers determines the upper limit of the army.
It is precisely because of this that Marin had to wait for the growth of those children and non-commissioned officers. Because the previous generals, cultural and ideological levels could not keep up...
