Chapter 900 Suggestion to Go Abroad (Part 1)

Leonid said firmly: "For some of those differences, I was wrong, and I should apologize to you, such as my over optimism and lack of calmness when the war broke out, and my judgment of the situation..." p>

Li Xiao thought that this guy was going to confess to him, but who would have thought that just after he apologized, he suddenly changed the subject and said: "But on other issues, I don't think I did anything wrong. Even I think you Your attitude is worthy of vigilance, and you should reflect on yourself!"

Okay, now Li Xiao understood what this saint classmate wanted to do with him. The apology was only part of the purpose of condemning him.

Li Xiao, a classmate who is a more serious saint, is really a bit confused, because this guy has this kind of virtue, and he thinks he is doing something right, but naturally there is no sand in his eyes. Once he discovers that a friend has made a mistake, he will definitely not pretend not to notice it. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will mention it to his face and urge him to correct it.

To be honest, such an attitude is admirable, but there are still problems. The simplest point is what is right and what is wrong.

In terms of Li Xiao's values, he believed that he had done nothing wrong. But based on Leonid's values, that's probably a different story.

From a development perspective, Li Xiao's values ​​are definitely more correct, but the problem is that in this era, Leonid's set of values ​​is more marketable and recognized, which makes him increasingly think of himself. Be the voice of truth.

This is very annoying. Li Xiao really can't accept his theory and is very impatient to listen to his theory.

"I know we have differences in ideas... But I always believe that loyalty to the emperor and patriotism does not mean accepting the emperor's orders unconditionally... Doing so is not patriotic, but may very well plunge the country into catastrophe... The simplest For example, if the late emperor could listen to the opinions of others and not blindly launch this war, how could our country be humiliated?"

Without waiting for Leonid to speak, he hurriedly said: "A country has a family, so a country is not just for a monarch or even a family, but for all the families that make up the country as a whole... If If the will of the monarch tyrannically overrides the will of everyone else, how can there be any country at all?"

Leonid fell into deep thought, and Li Xiao continued: "Don't tell me that you don't agree with this truth. Without tens of millions of Russians, how could there be a great Russian Empire?"

The truth was this, and Leonid didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he thought about it for a moment. This was completely different from the education he had received since he was a child. It completely subverted the program of monarchs and ministers. According to someone, all matters big and small in Russia should be decided jointly by tens of thousands of Russians. This How is it possible!

Li Xiao said: "How is this impossible? Democracy is not a new concept. The French Revolution promoted this concept to all of Europe decades ago, and the most powerful countries have all achieved it without exception. A certain degree of democracy, aren’t these worth learning?”

Leonid pursed his lips and stopped talking. Li Xiao could see that he did not accept it, but this world has never been based on personal will, and personal preferences have no way to stop the flow of history. Any act of overestimating one's ability to block traffic will inevitably be crushed to pieces.

The Romanov family in history was ruthlessly crushed into rubbish, but if you want to say how bad Nicholas II's family was, in fact, it was not that bad. That person's ability was quite satisfactory and his virtue was among the best in Europe. The aristocratic circle is also quite satisfactory, not the best but certainly not the worst.

Logically speaking, people like him shouldn't end up like that, but history happened like this. Who can resist?

Similarly, no matter how much Leonid insists on his traditional aristocratic virtues, his set of things will only become more and more outdated and less marketable. Even if he persists to the end, he will not be able to save the historical fate of the Romanov family. .

At least Li Xiao feels that if the Romanov family does not take the initiative to make greater changes and complete the step of establishing a constitutional monarchy early, the longer it delays, the more dangerous their fate will be, and they will eventually be torn apart by the violent revolutionary masses.

Since he was helplessly forced to join this family, he naturally did not want to see his descendants either massacred or exiled to other countries like the descendants of the Romanov family in history, or simply reduced to the playthings of others.

As a poor guy who happened to hit this time point and caught the bus of the times, his ancestor was forced to go into business and try every means to find a way for future generations to survive. So if he can't convince a stubborn "saint" like Leonid with reason, how can he convince those despicable little guys who are not even "saints" and only consider their interests first? Where are people?

After a pause, Li Xiao looked into Leonid's eyes and said seriously: "My friend, you look down on those common people who are not nobles, thinking that they are too vulgar and unworthy of caring about national affairs or expressing opinions on this matter. Are you even less worthy of safeguarding your own legitimate rights and interests?"

Leonid suddenly fell silent, because as early as when he worked with Li Xiao in the 748th Regiment, he had seen the potential of grassroots serf soldiers. As long as they were given the opportunity to learn, as long as they were given a platform to display their abilities, They will burst out with infinite learning and creative abilities, enough to defeat those so-called aristocratic playboys who have received elite education since childhood.

Therefore, he knew that if he denied the rights of civilians and serfs to safeguard their own rights and interests, it would be tantamount to telling lies. And he always believed that he was a pragmatic person, and he absolutely could not accept that he was telling lies.

But what makes him uncomfortable is that once he admits this, all the pride he has had since childhood will be shattered. What is even more frightening is that the ideas he has believed in since childhood will also collapse. After all, he had been taught to be superior to others since he was a child. He was taught that the blood of the nobles was extremely noble, and he was taught to be loyal to the king.

Once these beliefs were destroyed, Leonid believed that he was no longer himself, so what was the point of living? All his hard work and hard work over the past twenty years were in vain.

So he was determined not to accept this, which was why he suddenly found Li Xiao to discuss this topic. He wanted to prove that Li Xiao was wrong and that his belief was the most correct.

If he can't prove this, he really doesn't know where the future will go...
