Chapter 1: The Long Road
Li Mingzhang leaned on the magnetic motor car, carrying an admission notice in his arms.
He wanted to close his eyes and recuperate, but the thought of the school he was going to and the scene of the school he saw from the virtual network made it difficult to suppress his excitement.
The 13th Military Academy of China, referred to as the 13th Academy.
Although the name sounds like some third-rate pheasant university, it is indeed one of the first 24 military schools established in China, and this year's deduction competition ranked first among more than 180 military schools in the country!
(One hundred and eighty, each with an average of 100,000 graduates per year, is 18 million highly educated soldiers!) )
And the famous generals Li Yu, Wang Xinhua, and Hu Xueting among the Seven Sons are all graduates of the Thirteenth Academy!
After getting off the train and packing his bags, Li Mingzhang chose a direction and began to walk.
The Thirteen Courtyards are located in Starlink, Xinjing City.
The distance between Xinjing Railway Station and the 13th Courtyard is 42 kilometers, no more than no less marathon.
Wang Xinhua, who had already become a lieutenant general, returned to the school to give a speech, and when he talked about the first time he arrived at the school, he said that because his family was poor, he was reluctant to take the taxi money, and then he didn't know that the school had set up a welcome point at the door, so he simply walked to the school with more than 20 kilograms of luggage.
Although the 42 kilometers were difficult to walk down, for him, the tempering of his will and the help of the enthusiastic residents on the road were the greatest motivation for him to always move forward in the direction of the future.
And now, Wang Xinhua has become the commander of the Fourth Theater.
After the new students reported, the 13th Academy no longer set up an orientation point, nor did it send a car to pick up and drop off.
This attitude towards running a school caused dissatisfaction among some students' parents back then, but when Hu Xueting became famous four years later and talked about the 42 kilometers in an interview, all the dissatisfaction disappeared.
Regardless of whether the 42 kilometers fell to the ground or not, the attitude of the Thirteenth Academy has been out, we are recruiting soldiers, not uncles, and we want to go to other schools by car.
So despite no supervision and no explicit rules, all the freshmen adhered to this rule, got off the train, and silently packed their bags and walked the 42 kilometers.
Along the way, you will see the well-organized streets and buildings planned by Xinjing City, the shops and stalls on the side of the road will give up their business, and you will put out water and food to support these students, and you will meet classmates who are also carrying their bags on their backs, and you will joke with each other on the road, laugh at each other, encourage each other, and help each other.
The friendship forged on these 42 kilometers is stronger than anything else, and countless brothers in life and death on the battlefield, model military couples, may have started from this road.
Li Shitang soon saw a teenager dressed in a very simple shirt and carrying a red travel bag, and his goal was the same as his.
The two looked at each other silently, did not speak, but both quickened their pace.
Even if it is an ordinary person, let him walk 42 kilometers at once, he will not blush or breathe after walking, at most his feet will hurt and his legs will be sore, and it is not a problem for a new human like Li Mingzhang, even if he has a weight of more than 20 kilograms.
Therefore, these students will generally increase the difficulty on their own, such as race walking, such as simply running.
"Li Mingzhang, a freshman in the Thirteenth Academy, a native of Nanhe...," he introduced himself.
"Wang Xintang, also a freshman, a native of Xinhai," the simple-looking young man replied.
Li Shitang was surprised: "Your name is really similar to Commander Wang Xinhua..."
Wang Xintang smiled: "He is my idol, so I changed his name for him..."
Li Mingzhang shook his head, his intuition has been unusually accurate since he was a child, and this intuition has been exaggerated after becoming a new human.
He felt that this child should be Wang Xinhua's immediate family, and it should be his younger brother or something.
But Wang Xinhua didn't say, and he didn't ask.
The two walked silently, and classmates continued to join in along the way, and the atmosphere changed from the two of them competing at the beginning to more than a dozen people talking and laughing later.
After traveling dozens of kilometers, you will enter the university town.
Most of the universities here are related to military academies, such as mechanical schools, artillery academies, Xinyan, as well as military doctors, ergonomics, biotechnology, and so on.
At this time, it is the beginning of the school year, and all kinds of luxury cars are parked here in front of the university, including the antique sports car Ferrari Lamborghini from hundreds of years ago, and the phantom concept sports car made by modern high-tech.
But the students who got out of these luxury cars could only stand by the car and look enviously at the students of the Thirteenth Academy who walked step by step with their bags on their backs.
This kind of student who goes out of a top university can be a mecha pilot at the very least, and a cheapest military mecha is comparable to three or five luxury cars, not to mention that kind of special titled mecha.
"Yo, Wang Xiaotang?" A surprised voice sounded, Li Mingzhang heard the sound and looked over, and saw a flag running beside him, the red of the flag with the ultimate configuration was like a black ghost, driving silently on the road, if it wasn't for the sound of the young man driving, Li Mingzhang might not have noticed.
But this Wang Xiaotang...
He looked at Wang Xintang beside him...
"Aren't you also the Thirteenth Courtyard, why did you come by car?" Wang Xintang asked hesitantly, but soon this hesitation turned into contempt: "Forget it, if you don't say it, I know..."
The young man sat in the car and shook his head: "Your Xiao Wang family is real, with your identity, what else do you need to exercise?" It's still mixed with this mud leg..."
Li Mingzhang looked at the young man in the car in surprise, mud legs, is he talking about himself?
Although he was dressed in some stalls, he was also cleanly washed, without a trace of wrinkles, and his backpack was simple and patched, but it was also spotless...
"Yes, that's right, I'm talking about you..." The young man paid attention to Li Mingzhang's gaze and smiled disdainfully: "What I just said may be difficult to hear, but I won't apologize, because what I'm going to say next will be even more ugly..."
He smiled evilly: "No matter how you learned that Wang Xiaotang happened to meet him so coincidentally when he arrived at school, I have to remind you that you and he are not from the same world, it is better for you to stay away from him..."
Li Mingzhang didn't think this sentence was unpleasant, but he heard a sour smell...
This boy won't be a gay, right...
"Liu Shaoqing, I can't care about what friends I make, since you are driving, you should leave quickly!" Wang Xiaotang scolded bluntly on the side.
Liu Shaoqing's eyes widened, and the words that scolded Wang Xiaotang were tens of thousands of words, but he didn't dare to say it.
Li Mingzhang guessed right, Wang Xinhua is indeed Wang Xintang's brother...
Wang Xinhua started at the end of the Wei Dynasty and suddenly achieved the position of commander of the Fourth Theater, and most of the families that have been handed down for hundreds of years are not as good as him!
So his younger brother naturally became the target of these families.
But it's a pity that Wang Xinhua is a stone pimple, coercion and temptation don't work, Wang Xiaotang is also a stone pimple, soft and hard...
Liu Shaoqing could only scold in his heart and go to the special nouveau riche.
But I can't cure you Wang Xiaotang, I can't cure a mud leg who doesn't know where it came from?
As soon as he stepped on the magnetic door, the flag suddenly crossed a red lightning bolt and disappeared into the road.
It's a pity that this kind of car, the performance and speed are perfect, but there is no sound.
Without the roar of the throttle, it's not romantic at all...
