Struggle in Russia

Leonid was a little overwhelmed in his mind. He knew what a patent was and what it meant to apply for a patent. But what confuses him is why did Li Xiao go to the UK and France to apply for patents?

Leonid asked full of puzzlement: "You just told me that your invention will change the situation of the war and will explode with great lethality?"

Li Xiao replied calmly: "Yes. I'm sure!"

Leonid asked again: "You should know that our relationship with Britain and France has been very tense recently, and there is a risk of war?"

Li Xiao still replied calmly: "I know. The issue of the Holy Land is quite serious. It seems that His Majesty is going to use troops against the Turks, right?"

Leonid suppressed his unhappiness, and continued to ask: "Then you also send these powerful weapons abroad to apply for patents? I don't understand, don't you know the potential risks!"

Li Xiao was still calm, he nodded and said: "Of course I know! It is because I know that I did this!"

Leonid was going crazy, he wanted to grab Li Xiao's collar and shake it vigorously, he wanted to knock Li Xiao's head open with a hammer, to see how his brain circuit was different from normal people.

No normal person would do such a thing, would he? This is simply an enemy, okay?

Li Xiao smiled and said: "According to your opinion, I should put these inventions on the shelf, or simply burn them, that is patriotism, right?"

Leonid nodded in agreement. But Li Xiao sneered: "No! You are wrong! That is not patriotism! Patriotism is to make the country better, not to safeguard some old and stubborn interests that hinder the development of the country."

"Do those old antiques in the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of the War know the meaning of new technology? They don't know, and they refuse to know, they are stubborn and stubborn... If there is no external stimulus, they will still be like this in ten thousand years!"

Li Xiao roared with righteous indignation: "However, the world does not shift according to their will, and is always moving forward. Both Britain and France are applying new technologies with each passing day, and they have left us far behind. Even if there is no With these inventions of mine, they can invent the same thing in five years, ten years at most, at that time, can you still pray for mercy from our enemies, or simply be merciful and not use new weapons against us?"

Li Xiao waved his hand angrily and said: "Impossible, our enemies will never show any mercy, they will only deal with us more cruelly, make us shed the last drop of blood, and eat our flesh and blood. At that time Do you think the antiques of the War Department and the Navy Department can save our country?"

Leonid's throat hissed, and he wanted to say yes, but months of knowing him told him that he really couldn't.

Li Xiao sneered and said, "So, we can't hold on to what's left, let alone waste food because of choking. We must give those old antiques a little stimulation, and let the bloody reality tell them that they must move forward instead of resting on their laurels!"

"And!" Li Xiao waved his hand heavily again: "The sooner the better! The sooner we pay, the lighter the price we pay!"

Leonid was stunned, his mind was buzzing, he was almost incapable of thinking. Li Xiao's raving words just now and his slightly ferocious expression filled his mind.

He kept asking himself: [Could things really be so bad? 】

[Is there no better way? 】

Emotionally speaking, Leonid was very uncomfortable with what Li Xiao said. He loves his motherland and is willing to dedicate everything to the motherland, even if he sacrifices his life.

But now Li Xiao told him that if he wanted to treat Russia well, he had to bleed Russia. Such nonsense made Leonid almost go crazy. However, he still felt that Li Xiao was reasonable, and Leonid even suspected that he had lost his mind.

"You didn't! My friend!"

Li Xiao said calmly: "You also know that the situation is bad,

You also know what happens to those old bureaucrats. Hope that they can lead Russia to the light is undoubtedly a dream. You also know that you have to find another way, but you are not willing to let our country go through the pain of diversion. "

"My friend, I have to tell you, if you don't accept the labor pain now, it will be excruciating pain in the future! Even miserable pain!"

Leonid was still hesitant. He thought hard, trying to find a reason to convince Li Xiao, but he couldn't think of one. On the contrary, it was Li Xiao who kept persuading him.

"It seems that bringing patents to Britain and France is not good for our country. But it is not!"

Li Xiao analyzed patiently: "It is true that this will increase their strength in a short period of time and greatly widen the gap with us, but you must also see that the only two countries that can realize my invention today are the two of them."

"They have a complete industrial base, sufficient funds and resources, and are willing to provide fertile ground for all new and useful inventions."

"My invention will be promoted faster when it reaches them. Presumably at that time, even the conservative and corrupt bureaucrats in our country can't pretend not to see it, but will promote the development of related industries in our country!"

"What's more, these patents are not given to the British and French for free, that is for money. I can assure you that each one can reap a lot of money. With this money, we don't have to go to Beg the corrupt bureaucrats in the country for funding. We can build our own factories and train our own technicians!"

"This will achieve a virtuous circle, which will promote our country's emphasis on new technologies and new machines from both internal and external forces, and finally allow us to catch up with powerful enemies!"

Leonid was finally convinced. Although he was still a little reluctant, he knew that it was pointless to keep these patents in Russia, locked in a drawer. Russia's backwardness and conservatism are all-round. We must find a way to whip those lazy donkeys who are unwilling to move forward. They have been comfortable for nearly 30 years, and it is time to work.

At the same time, Leonid also has an unprecedented sense of urgency, and he finds that he has lived too comfortably for the past two decades. I only saw the narrow circle of nobles, and thought that all of Russia was as comfortable as this small circle.

But the reality is that there are two heavens and hell. Nobles live in heaven, commoners and serfs live in hell.

What's even more frightening is that the few people in heaven have no intention of saving the same kind in hell, and they don't even regard those in hell as the same kind at all. I naturally think that my comfortable and luxurious life is taken for granted.

This is very scary. Leonid felt that the resentment in hell was on the verge of erupting, and there were too many evil spirits in hell. They had already filled hell with their fingertips. To the heaven floor!

Soon, these resentful souls will burst out, and they will flood into heaven, destroying everything in heaven! !
