Li Xiao didn't mean to be angry at all, not only because he could understand the thoughts of people like Vishniak, but more importantly because he had self-awareness. As an ordinary passerby who had accomplished nothing before time travel, he knew very well that he
His ability is average and his willpower is average. Even if he is familiar with history books and knows the direction of history, this does not mean that he will be able to fight against all kinds of dissatisfaction after time travel. If he is so awesome, why bother to time travel?
Wouldn't it be great if the original time and space could show off its talents and become a blockbuster?
Anyway, he doesn’t have the idea that he thinks he is awesome. The most indispensable thing in this world is all kinds of geniuses. These geniuses have amazing performances even in backward time and space. Why does he, a nobody, look down on others?
Smarter than you, harder working than you, and more perseverant than you, you can be proud of the world just because you came from time travel? I really think the goddess of luck is your mother!
Li Xiao's positioning of himself is very accurate. He can eat as much as he has an appetite. Professional matters are handled by professionals. He has to do everything personally. He is a domineering and domineering horse who looks down on the world. Then forget it. He is neither Zhuge Liang nor does he want to be Zhuge Liang.
, unite all the talents who can be united, and use the historical perspective of the time travellers to be a leader.
So Li Xiao naturally doesn't expect Vishnyak to bow down to him with just a few words. He's not a big-eared thief with all the charm attributes. What's more, everyone is an adult and none of them are simple-minded. How can he be convinced by just a few words?
Do you want to go all out and follow you? If you don’t say you have some glorious achievements, you have to be able to see the future of the blueprint, right?
Naturally, Li Xiao can't produce high-quality results now. After all, his status as a prince is too embarrassing, and it will be a failure if he shows it out, so he can only talk about long-term planning:
"If you want to do something, you must first have people. No one is just talking! So the first thing we do now is to unite a group of people who are willing to work with us. This is the most important thing at the moment, and there is no one!"
Boris listened vaguely and thought it made sense, but with his IQ, he just felt it made sense, but he couldn't tell why it made sense. But Vishniak was different, his IQ was still online.
Yes, he lazily interrupted: "I said, the centrists of the 748th Regiment are unlikely to come to help you for the time being. Your Excellency, can you say something useful? This is nonsense, okay?"
"This is not nonsense!" Li Xiao corrected him sternly, "And what I just said about uniting people does not only refer to frustrated parties like you. I know that you have no confidence in me for the time being, and there is no way you can give me anything.
I would like any help.”
Vishniak finally became interested and asked, "Who are the people you are talking about?"
Li Xiao gave it up and asked: "Who has the most people in the 748th group?"
Vishniak said in astonishment: "My God, you are not talking about those scum, are you?"
Li Xiao snapped his fingers and imitated his previous tone: "bingo! Those are the guys!"
Vishniak burst out laughing and sneered: "Your Excellency, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Hasn't anyone told you what those scum look like? Unite them? What's the use of uniting a bunch of rubbish? It's a waste.
Food?”
Boris thought for a while and agreed: "Those guys are really terrible. They don't stand or sit together. They look more like beggars than soldiers. They are useless!"
Li Xiao sighed in his heart. This is the pain of time travellers. The vision beyond the times can easily be regarded as madmen and fools. Even the elites of the times like Vishniak are still limited by the times and cannot see.
They always feel that the people at the bottom are uneducated, have low quality, do not understand various advanced doctrines, and have no revolutionary beliefs and pursuits. They can only be passively driven and have little effect.
And Li Xiao has seen the greatness of the power of the masses. Take the Russian Revolution as an example. The Decembrists, the Popular People's Party, and the Socialist Revolutionaries struggled for decades and failed to do anything well. Why did the Bolsheviks rise up?
How can everything change? The key reason is to fully mobilize the masses and unite the broadest forces in Russian society around them. What else can't be done in this way?
If we can mobilize and unite widely and educate the masses well, the power will be inexhaustible. But the so-called elites like Vishniak have not realized this at all. They only think that Russian society
There was a problem, and I knew I needed to change it, but I was at a loss as to how to change it. I was so naive that I placed all my hope on the Tsar, thinking that I could rely on the Tsar to carry out a top-down reform.
But previous history has proven that this road will not work. During the period of Alexander I, Russia's progressive aristocrats were already aware of the problems in the country and knew that reforms were needed. Even Alexander I himself had this awareness.
So reform was put on the agenda. The famous Count Speransky became the leader of the reform and introduced a series of reform measures, such as the establishment of the Serfdom System Reform Committee, such as the promulgation of the "Introduction to the National Law of 1809" and the "National Code of 1809"
Draft", preparing to follow the Western path of constitutional monarchy and separation of powers.
The result? Due to various obstructions from the anti-conservatives, this reform basically came to nothing. Even the powerful Count Speransky himself rushed to Siberia to repair the earth.
Later, Alexander II also had to reform, and it was also a top-down reform. The result? Abandoned halfway! In the later period of his Majesty's reign, he directly turned around, and the results of a reform that was not considered thorough in the first place were all in vain.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to carry out top-down reforms in Russia and rely only on a few progressive elites to get things done. Because the power of those few elites is too weak compared to the huge conservative forces.
, it’s not worth mentioning at all. When you have the Tsar’s endorsement, you can still do one or two things. Once the Tsar slacks off and regrets it, everything is over.
The only way to truly change Russia is to fully mobilize and activate the broad masses, use the power of the masses to destroy those decadent and backward opposition parties, and drive them completely off the stage of history. Only in this way can we achieve success!
Li Xiao was very clear-headed. He would not follow the failed path of those "predecessors". He did not want to do useless work and waste time and energy on Alexander II. Therefore, he valued the power of the masses and believed in those who later succeeded.
The historical experience of his "predecessors" can be absorbed and used, so mobilizing the masses is the only feasible way to break the current situation of poverty and nothingness. This must be done, and this is the only way to do it!
Of course, the problem now is that he has to convince people like Vishnyak. After all, he alone cannot mobilize a few people.
