Chapter 21 Militarized Management
"Everyone stand at attention and don't move. The third one from the left in the second row is you!" the instructor roared. This was really the worst class he had ever led.
Although most people have understood the word "stand at attention", when the instructor says "stand at attention", they are not allowed to move and must stand straight, but there are always some people who can't change their minds.
After severely punishing the unlucky guy with a ruler, the instructor stared at the team with fierce eyes. He shuttled back and forth in the team, with sharp eyes like an eagle looking for prey in the sky. As long as he found someone making small moves or being lazy, he would The ruler in your hand will give the wrongdoer a firm blow on his body.
This ruler is made of fine-textured mulberry wood and is exactly one meter long. It is extremely tough after processing and will leave a red mark instantly when it is struck on a person's body.
This is the Hechingen Military Academy. The students are standing for morning exercises. The instructors in the entire academy are veterans of the army, who have received strict training and experienced the baptism of war.
They moved the rules and regulations of the army into the academy. The army of this era basically taught with sticks. For the safety of these half-year-old children, Ernst replaced the sticks with rulers. The blows on the body only hurt the flesh. Does not hurt muscles and bones.
…
"Dang, Dang, Dang..."
The bell rang, and the students sat in the classroom. Because they had been "educated" before, they now sat upright on the stools, their hands were straight, the palms of their right hands were folded on the back of their left hands, and their elbows were bent at sixty degrees. Put it on the table and hold your head high.
Ernst walked into the classroom with the lesson plan in hand and walked straight to the podium. Ernst pointed to the student on the far left in the first row and said, "Start the roll call now! Start with you."
"eins, zwei, drei, vier, fünf, sechs, sieben...einhundert." There are exactly 100 people in one class, five classes in total.
In order to facilitate early teaching, everyone is numbered and has no name. Everyone must remember their number first.
This makes it easier for German instructors who don't speak Chinese to manage. These students have learned some simple vocabulary in the past few days, mostly instructions in the army.
So even if you don’t understand what the instructor said, you can guess what the instructor is going to do through these words.
"Now open the textbook to page five." Ernst spoke in Chinese, which these students could understand.
I saw that the fifth page of the book was all in German. Of course, these were not for them to read now. They only needed to listen to what Ernst said. There was another person in charge of German teaching, and Ernst focused on thinking.
But the rules cannot be broken, so Ernst also asked everyone to strictly protect this German-Italian textbook that is incomprehensible now. Of course, even the students who write in Chinese probably cannot understand it. After all, there are too many illiterates in the East in this era, and ordinary people They cannot receive education.
"This class mainly talks about the Hohenzollern family." Ernst said seriously: "You may ask which family the Hohenzollern family is, and what does Hohenzollern mean?"
The students below began to listen to Ernst's story. They really didn't know what Ernst said, but the lectures Ernst taught were about some German common sense and German cultural traditions. These students just listened to the story. After all, there was no media in the world. In the era of entertainment and self-media, it feels very novel to listen to these foreign things.
"Family members should all know what it is. It is a group of people who are related to you by blood, such as your parents, brothers and sisters..."
Ernst tried his best to instill ideas in these students in plain language, saying: "We already know what a family is. Now let's explain what Hohenzollern means. Hohen means nobility in German. Sauron is the name of a place and a family. You look at the castle Sauron Castle in the distance every day. This sentence together means the noble Sauron family."
Ernst talked eloquently: "Then what does nobility mean? Just like the dignitaries where you used to be, that is, high-ranking officials and relatives of the emperor, it means almost the same thing. In one sentence, it means 'nobility'."
"And Solon is the name of my family. My family originated from the place Solon, so the place name is used as the family name. In addition, our family's status in Europe is very prominent, so the name is named with dignity, that is Hohen. Do you understand now? If you don’t understand, you can raise it.”
Ernst looked at these students. It was obvious that no one wanted to stand out. Ernst simply called them by name, "Sieben (seven), do you understand? Don't pretend to understand."
After being called upon, the student code-named Seven replied timidly: "Report to the principal, I don't fully understand."
"What don't you understand? You can just say it. Don't worry, I won't blame you." Ernst asked kindly.
"Report to the principal, you said that Hohen is noble, but I don't know how noble he is. Can you use things from our hometown as a reference?"
Ernst was satisfied with this answer and said: "Very good, then let me tell you this, who do you think has the most power in your hometown and who is the most powerful person in the world?"
"Reporting to the instructor, I heard my elders say that the greatest official is the emperor who lives in Bauhinia City in the capital." No. 7 replied.
Ernst nodded and said: "Yes, the highest and most noble person in your east is your emperor, and you, the highest person in the Hohenzollern family, can also be understood as the emperor, that is the king of the Kingdom of Prussia. Of course you You don’t need to know what Prussia is, just think of the Hohenzollern family as the royal family.”
Ernst continued: "And I, your principal, am a member of the royal family. My father is the prince in your east. I think you should know what the prince is. He is the person whose status is second only to the emperor."
Although what he said was nondescript, Ernst wanted to emphasize the nobility of the Hohenzollern family and instill the power of the Hohenzollern family into these little-understood children.
Ernst continued: "And from today on, you have to remember one thing, that is, the emperor of the East, your emperor, is no longer your emperor." Looking at the ignorant teenagers looking at each other.
Ernst increased his deception: "From today on, you have a new identity, that is, you are Germans, because you are already German citizens, and the German emperor is your emperor."
The reason why Ernst did this was that he had to instill a new identity in these students, which in later generations would mean changing their world view, outlook on life and values.
After all, Ernst was going to use these people to maintain his rule in the future, and he couldn't let them play the trick of "Princes, generals, and ministers have a lot of talent!"
Russia had a yellow Russia plan in history, and Ernst is now pursuing a yellow German plan, but the difference is that Ernst really wants to integrate two different nations.
Therefore, most of the Eastern immigrants selected by Ernst were illiterate farmers. Ernst was a "reactionary" group like intellectuals. Of course, there were also those "religions" and "clan", which were all Ernst. Strictly controlled, no one can get in.
In the future, East Africa will have only one unified country with a pan-German cultural identity. Everyone will have only one nation, and it must be German. This is determined by Ernst's origin. People who betray their own class will often not end well. Ernst's innermost thoughts.
…
After completely breaking away from the textbook, Ernst crazily instilled private information into the minds of these ignorant teenagers. It can be said that Ernst was not here to teach, his purpose was to brainwash these students.
This was done for the sake of the harmony and stability of the future colonies. Any unstable factors under the wave of the future world would not be tolerated in Ernst's eyes.
Dear book friends, the author’s name has been abandoned, so I have begun to collect the backgrounds and names of the students at the Hechingen Military Academy. If they are consistent with this article, they may be adopted in the future. Please post them in the book friends circle.
