Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

The sky screen continues.

[In addition to combat skills and survival techniques, Spartan children also had to undergo strict discipline training.]

【In the Spartan army, discipline is everything. 】

【They must obey orders absolutely and cannot disobey in the slightest. 】

[As they get older, the Spartan children train more and more intensely.]

[The training style is also gradually becoming abnormal. 】

[Spartan teenagers had to wear 20-pound bronze armor to participate in triathlons, and they fought each other under the scorching sun until their faces were bruised and swollen.]

[They also have to undergo regular temple whippings, which is actually pain resistance training. ]

[At the age of 20, the young men finally took their graduation exams:]

[Surviving alone in the wilderness for a month, during which time you have to hunt wild boars, identify poisonous plants, and use stolen pots to cook edible dishes. ]

【Massacre the Shiloh people you see.】

【Finally, we must bring back the heads of the Helots.】

[Those who pass the assessment will be awarded a red cape symbolizing adulthood and officially become full-time employees of Spartan Warrior Co., Ltd.]

【After graduation, I started my internship. 】

[But don't celebrate too quickly. They still have to work part-time for another ten years before they can get a permanent job.]

[Spartans were not allowed to marry before the age of thirty.]

[Because the elders believe that love makes people weak. After all, hormones should be used to kill enemies, not to fall in love.]

[Although I can’t get married, I can have an affair. 】

[In a home with a non-pregnant woman, a cloth strip would be tied to the door, and the Spartan warriors could climb over the wall and sneak into the boudoir after seeing it.]

[But don't knock on the door to enter, because knocking on the door to have sex will be despised. ]

[After spending the night with a girl, if both parties are satisfied, we can say we know each other. 】

[Her family will take off the cloth strip, which means the girl has a male companion. ]

[But the Spartan warriors had to leave before dawn, because they would be punished for being late. ]

[Between the ages of 20 and 30, young Spartan warriors performed various auxiliary combat tasks to assist the Spartan veterans.]

[Hunting and slaughtering of Sparta's slave population were also organized regularly. ]

[Even if you can survive until you are 30 and start a family. ]

[Spartan men also couldn't live a life with a wife and children and a warm bed. ]

[They ate in a big pot in the barracks during the day—including the king, who had to live in the barracks and eat in a big pot.]

[Legend has it that a king complained about the soup being too salty, and the cook slammed his shield in his face: If you don’t like it, then starve! ]

[There are also surprise inspections at night. ]

[If you are caught spending too much time with your wife, you will be punished by labor. ]

See here.

Confucius couldn't jump again.

He frowned and shook his head repeatedly:

"This kind of behavior is simply a violation of human ethics!"

"Barbarians are barbarians! The rituals and music have collapsed to such an extent!"

"Sparta's actions destroyed the foundation of the family. If this continues, family affection will fade and social order will fall apart. How can the country prosper?"

"This runs counter to the benevolence, courtesy and righteousness that I advocate, and is really unacceptable."

Qin Shi Huang also frowned.

Ying Zheng recognized the Spartans' rigorous training.

But he strongly disagreed with the Spartan social way.

“The foundation of a country lies in its people, and the foundation of its people lies in their families.”

"With such chaotic family relationships, how can the people concentrate on farming and weaving, or serve the country in the army?"

"If this trend spreads in our Great Qin, the country will be in danger!"

"It seems that Sparta will only be a small city-state for the rest of its life."

The sky continues.

[The long-distance marriage model in Sparta society is bizarre. 】

[But it created the most sturdy group of military families in history: Spartan women refused to cry out in pain during childbirth, for fear of embarrassing their husbands.]

[Speaking of Spartan women, they were the Barbie dolls of the ancient world.]

[While the Athenian ladies were busy painting their eyebrows and eyes, the Spartan girls were throwing discus and wrestling with men to show off their muscles.]

[There is an interesting story that a foreigner mocked the Spartan queen for her burly figure, and the queen responded calmly:]

[“Our country does not need vases, but only wombs that can give birth to warriors.”] [Spartan women even developed a unique culture of prenatal education.]

[They watched gladiatorial contests during pregnancy because they believed that bloody scenes could enhance the fighting spirit of the fetus. ]

[Under such a strict system, the Spartan warriors eventually became humanoid weapons. ]

[When they stepped onto the battlefield, their momentum was unmatched! ]

[Sparta has a small population, but the Spartan warriors are ten times stronger than one, using their courage and strength to defend the honor of Sparta.]

[Just like in the movie "300 Spartans", the 300 Spartan warriors faced hundreds of thousands of Persian troops at Thermopylae without fear and fought to the last moment.]

[And defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War and became the overlord of all Greece. ]

[This is the path to becoming a Spartan warrior. ]

【Is it an eye-opener for you? 】

The sky screen video ends here.

Barrages of comments flew out one after another.

"A nation that is more militant than the militant nation."

"The Spartans never asked how many enemies there were, but where they were!"

"It's just the courage of a common man."

"So Pansen came from here?"

"How can you fight well if you don't eat well, are malnourished, and have poor development since childhood?"

"It seems that the Spartans were not the local natives. After conquering the natives, the Spartans treated them as slaves."

"What kind of Eight Banners disciples practice horseback archery?"

"No wonder the Lispartans on TV only wear briefs."

"As expected, a civilization that only relies on force cannot last long. In the end, Sparta was beaten."

"Everyone is playing Civilization, but Sparta has turned itself into a barbarian."

"The training is too cruel. The population has always been small, and suppressing the local slaves is already exhausting. This is a big disadvantage."

"If a country with a small population does not integrate others, it will be destroyed sooner or later."

The Theban Guard: What the Hell is Sparta?

"Sparta was not very good at fighting, and it took a lot of effort to defeat Athens, a commercial city."

"In order to maintain military superiority, slaves must be exploited continuously, and excessive exploitation requires stronger military deterrence. How can this last long?"

"A society sustained by fear and oppression may win battles, but it is doomed to lose history."

"Damn, it reminds me of the spoof version I watched when I was a kid, and I couldn't tell it apart from the original movie."

……

Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng finished watching this sky screen video.

Although he disdained the strength of the small city-state of Sparta.

However, he was full of admiration for the training of Spartan warriors: "The way Sparta trains warriors is ruthless enough!"

Li Si also echoed and said:

"They are selected from a young age and trained rigorously. This is somewhat similar to the way our Great Qin builds a force of tigers and wolves."

And in the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang stroked his chin and grinned:
"Oh my, it's really not easy for these Spartan kids."

"But those who are trained are all tough guys."

"But I have to admit that the combat effectiveness of soldiers trained in this way must be amazing."

"Sparta trained its warriors in such an iron-blooded way, which shows the country's martial spirit."

tomorrow.

Zhu Yuanzhang's defense was seriously broken because he witnessed the process of the Ming Dynasty's demise.

At this moment, his expression was stern and he said in a deep voice:

"Sparta's methods are cruel but effective."

"Start from the young and build a strong army."

"Perhaps this is how the military households of the Ming Dynasty should be managed to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army and to ensure the eternal stability of the Ming Dynasty."

Logically speaking, what Zhu Yuanzhang said was correct.

But Zhu Biao shook his head and said with a barely audible sigh:

"Alas, Father still hasn't realized that the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty has lost its combat effectiveness."

"It's really not a training issue." (End of this chapter)
