Yong Quanshi looked at the road ahead and saw that Yong Ming and Xie Liuyun had walked out from behind the little dirt bag and walked towards the special car.
He knew that there was still some time for him to express his thoughts, so he said: "Back then, the Qing Dynasty spent thirty years building a powerful Beiyang Navy. However, due to its stubbornness and the constraints of many forces in the court, it was actually a powerful force on the outside and a cadre on the inside.
, it is no longer useful.
Because there has been no substantial development for many years, from weapons and equipment to personnel quality, from intelligence collection to combat determination, the Beiyang Navy, which once ranked first in Asia and ninth in the world, has fallen behind the rising Japanese Navy.
The increase and decrease in strength eventually led to the Beiyang Navy's undeclared war against the Japanese Navy, which was destined to end in a disastrous defeat.
These are the result of a combination of factors such as failure to pay attention to its own sustainable development, failure to pay attention to the growth of its opponents, and inadequate grasp of the enemy's situation, and a common evolution."
After saying this, Yong Quanshi had to stop and adjust his emotions because he was sad about the historical events that had happened.
Shang Baifeng did not know this historical fact, but he had heard his grandfather talk about the evil deeds of Japanese pirates invading and harassing the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian since he was a child, and he hated Japanese pirates deeply.
He highly praised Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other Ming Dynasty generals who led the anti-Japanese struggle, finally eliminated the invading Japanese pirates, and completely eliminated the Japanese invasion in the southeastern coastal areas.
Now after listening to Yong Quanshi's story, although I don't know the specific story, but I heard that my country's navy was severely damaged by the Japanese navy, I immediately felt a sense of resentment against the same enemy.
"It's really unreasonable. This Japanese pirate who lives in a small and tiny land actually dares to insult me, the vast country of China. Are they really bullying me, China, which has no one?"
Although I only have bare hands and don’t have much ability, when the country is in trouble, I will definitely respond to the country’s call without hesitation and protect the country.”
As someone familiar with this period of history, Sheng Qingfeng was naturally in a bad mood. He also snorted angrily and said: "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is. If the Japanese pirates dare to attack again, they will not be punished."
Get rid of the good fruit."
Yong Quanshi nodded, "The 'Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War' taught us painful lessons and left us with too much to learn from.
In the twenty-eight years since the Sino-Japanese War, Japan has developed rapidly and has become the most powerful country in Asia.
Because it has taken the initiative in national development and is stronger than neighboring countries, Japan has also become more aggressive.
The fact I know now is that North Korea has become a vassal of Japan. In fact, North Korea is not far away from national subjugation.
As for our country, since the "Sino-Japanese War of 1891", after the failure of the "reform" and the invasion of the "Eight-Power Allied Forces", the country's development has lagged behind Japan step by step. Although it is the Republic of China, it has not seen much improvement.
.
If this situation continues, our captain quoted the patriarch's words, "The current situation between China and Japan is that Japan is like a bandit, wandering around a wealthy family."
If the thief is strong and the master is weak, he will inevitably covet the family's wealth, which will make the robber feel malicious and eventually seize the property that does not belong to him.'
The patriarch even inferred from this that a war related to the fate of the country would inevitably occur between China and Japan within ten years.
This is inevitable. Robbers will not give up the idea of robbing your property because of your good intentions.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, only by working hard, gathering the will of the people, enhancing the self-confidence of the people, and actively preparing for war, will we be able to fight for the country and our destiny with one heart when the war comes.
Use the strength of the whole country to fight.
The captain said that although our "Flying Dragon Team" only has a few hundred people now, it is the elite of our Yong clan.
We have lived in Anqiu for generations and have been nurtured and cared for by Anqiu for hundreds of years. We should be responsible for the safety of Anqiu.
If robbers come, the Yong clan will use all their strength to defend their homeland and let these dogs feel what it feels like to be hit by bullets.
If a war of aggression breaks out, we will be the core of a team, and we will change from one to ten, from ten to hundreds, from one hundred to thousands, or even to tens of thousands.
We will live and die, fight endlessly, go forward one after another, and be brave and fearless until we defeat the invaders and drive them out of their homes."
Yong Quanshi said with emotion, because it touched the emotional point in his heart, and he was also a little emotionally excited.
His impassioned mood also infected Sheng Qingfeng and Monk Baifeng. Sheng Qingfeng said with emotion: "Quan Shi, Bai He and I have the same thoughts as you. We will do a good job under the leadership of Ming Gong."
All preparations should be made.
No matter how fierce the storm is, we will move forward in the face of the wind and rain and will never shrink back.
If we can't protect our own home, how can we talk about great development in the future? I am very confident in the action capabilities you have demonstrated today."
Having said this, he took the initiative to reach out his hand and signaled to Yong Quanshi that he wanted to shake hands with him.
Yong Quan had never experienced such a handshake before, and he didn't know how to do it.
So, he followed Sheng Qingfeng's example and stretched out his right hand to shake Sheng Qingfeng's hand.
During the handshake, after fully feeling Sheng Qingfeng's kindness, a smile appeared on Yong Quanshi's face.
Sheng Qingfeng looked at Yong Quanshi's appearance and explained specifically to him: "Quanshi, depending on the situation, this is your first time to 'shake hands' with someone else.
Then let me introduce to you what this 'handshake' ceremony is all about.
The gesture of "shaking hands" between people originated from the ancient era of "slash-and-burn farming".
At that time, people often held weapons such as stones or sticks in their hands when hunting and fighting.
When meeting strangers, if no one has any ill intentions, you should put down what you are holding, open your palms, and let the other person look at and touch your palms to show that there are no weapons hidden in your hands and to express friendly goodwill.
Over time, this habit gradually evolved into today's 'handshake' etiquette.
To sum up, 'handshake' is a kind of etiquette to express friendship, greetings and respect to each other when meeting, leaving, congratulating or thanking each other.
Generally, both parties in a meeting will first say hello to express greetings, and then 'shake hands' to express greetings to each other.
Just now, I shook hands with you because I felt that we have the same feelings about each other based on the exchange we just had.
I want to express my happiness about this situation, and I feel that shaking hands with you is the most appropriate body language."
