At 6 a.m. on June 14, 1975, me, Xiaoda, Xiaoming, and Du Wentao got up as usual and went to the deck to run and exercise.

Captain Wu may have thought we were his kind, so when we got up, he got up with us, and then we went out for morning exercises.

However, Ah Fu and the others always play late, so in the morning, they are always asleep.

......

At 7 a.m., after the workout, we went back to our room to wash up and change into a neat uniform, and then went to the ship's cafeteria for breakfast.

In the cafeteria, the five of us took food and drinks and sat together while eating and chatting.

I introduced Xiaoda, Xiaoming, and Du Wentao to Captain Wu, and Captain Wu introduced himself as well.

Captain Wu smiled and said, "Alas! I don't think the four of you are like those South Vietnamese! It turns out that you are also very pure Chinese! ”

Xiaoda said: "Alas! Actually, Ah Fu and they are also Chinese! It's just that they grew up in South Vietnam! They are more playful, but there is nothing wrong with their character and ability! ”

Captain Wu said, "Alas! I'm a soldier, and I'm not very good at reading people! Now that the Vietnam War is over, if I go back to Taiwan, I can only retire, and then I will be unemployed for a long time! So, before I retreated, I applied to join the CIA! I've heard that the CIA's salary and package are quite good! However, my downside is that I am not good at dealing with others! This time, Jefferson asked me to be the class president, in fact, I was quite reluctant! I'm twenty-three years old and I don't want to waste my time managing a bunch of kids! ”

I said, "Captain Wu! In the future, I will help you! You're going to be able to do a good job as a squad leader! ”

Captain Wu smiled and said, "Captain Zhou! You're about the same age as your classmates! You take care of it, I'll help you! ”

Everyone laughed!

While we were eating, we heard the announcement that our ship was about to arrive at Kaohsiung Port!

So, after breakfast, we ran to the deck to see the scenery.

At 8 a.m., our troop carrier finally docked at a large military port.

At this time, the Allied GIs on board also came to the deck, and they held on to the railing to watch the scenery of the port excitedly!

The GIs were all nervous, yelling and laughing at the port!

Really, in our previous life experiences, we have never met people as passionate, impulsive and crazy as they are!

Xiaoda said in Chinese: "Alas! Are they sick?! How do you see a few people walking around in the port, and they become like this?! ”

Wu Lianjun smiled and said, "Alas! At first, I couldn't figure out why these foreigners were like this?! Now, we understand that they are very afraid of being lonely and being forgotten by the world! They seem to be very free-spirited! Indeed, they are expressing themselves and refreshing their presence! ”

I said, "Captain Wu! This should be your hometown! When you get home, why don't you get off the boat and check it out?! ”

Wu Lianjun said: "Yes! Sometimes, I don't know where my hometown is?! I feel like a homeless man! ”

I said, "Oh! It's a very bad feeling! Actually, you shouldn't be like that! A place with relatives and friends is home! What's more, there are so many people here who look, think, and use like us! I feel like this should be our hometown! ”

Wu Lianjun smiled and said, "Yes! When you say that, I feel so much better! We should be a little more fraternal and should see more places as our hometown! ”

I said, "Captain Wu! Have you ever been on the battlefield? ”

Wu Lianjun said: "No! I've been staying at the headquarters as an intelligence staff officer, but I'm actually a civilian soldier, so I didn't have a chance to go to the front! Captain Chou! Jefferson told me, "You are very brave in battle!" You have resisted the frenzied attacks of hundreds of guerrillas on your own! But you not only defeated them, but also managed to retreat! ”

I said, "Yes! We mixed up at the front for a couple of years! The battlefield is brutal, but our luck is quite good, and we can always pick up our lives on the battlefield! Perhaps, God still wants to keep us to help him! ”

Wu Lianjun smiled and said, "Captain Zhou! Your idea is so interesting! I think you're very special! Jefferson also told me that you are very good at business! He said, you're already very demanding money, you're amazing! ”

While we were talking, General Jefferson brought from the dock more than thirty new cadets, all of them teenagers between fifteen and twenty years old, and among them, a dozen beautiful girls!

General Jefferson, leading the cadet formation, was staggering to the deck through the ladder from the harbor platform to the troop carrier.

At this time, the GIs were boiling, they whistled and screamed incessantly!

When Jefferson's thirty men went up to deck, he shouted at the GIs, "All right! Scoundrels! Male dogs! Fuck off! Otherwise, I'll keep you in lockdown! ”

The GIs giggled and whistled and went somewhere else!

More than 30 of them were placed in the dormitory next to our dormitory.

After they settled in, Chris handed over the roster of all the members of the Asian class to me and Wu Lianjun.

Chris asked Captain Wu and I to immediately inform the entire Asian class to have a meeting in one of the classrooms on the ship!

At this meeting, the Asian class was to receive a lecture from General Jefferson.

After Chris left, I took a hard look at the roster of the Asian class.

There are a total of 49 students in the Asian class.

4 people in the Gangcheng group: me, Xiaoda, Xiaoming and Du Wentao and other 4 people.

9 members of the South Vietnamese group: 4 Chen brothers including Tran Gia Phuc, Tran Ka Vong, Tran Kar Hung, and Tran Kar Qiang, and 5 Nguyen brothers including Nguyen Quoc Van Vong, Nguyen Quoc Vu, Nguyen Quoc Truong, Nguyen Quoc Truung, and Nguyen Quoc Hung are all relatives of General Tran Quoc Qiang and Nguyen Envoys, all of whom are between the ages of 14 and 18, and many of them have university degrees.

4 members of the Korean group: Park Zhengyi, Lee Jung-hyun, Choi Tian-hwa, Kim Chul and others, they are the family members of the Vietnam War participants, aged between 15 and 20 years old, and their education is high school!

There are 4 people in the Japanese group: Inoue Gang, Matsui Shizuna, Kameda Yuji, Okamura Taro and other four people, with high academic qualifications, bachelor's degree or above, including doctoral students, aged between 22 and 25 years old.

28 people in the Taiwan group: Wu Lianjun is on the register, in addition to Wu Lianjun, there are 15 female students and 13 male students, all of whom are between the ages of 13 and 18, and their educational qualifications are all junior high school or high school.

There are 15 female students in the Taiwan group, including Li Lan, Li Mei, Wu Ping, Jiang Hua, Jiang Ying, Song Ailing, Zhao Yuefang, Cao Lu, Xie Fangfei, Wei Kexin, Tan Meiling, Xue Meifeng, An Lili, Di Lina, Huang Xiaofang, etc.

There are 13 male students in the Taiwan group, including Wu Lianjun, Wang Ziwen, Li Qiang, Lu Guojun, Song Guocheng, Xing Junlu, Ouyang Fengxing, Yan Shanxi, Zhao Henan, Lu Shandong, Kong Jiaxing, Dai Ligang, and He Tianming.

Except that the four of us, Ah Fu's people and Wu Lianjun's military ranks, these are all recruits without military ranks.

After Wu Lianjun and I read the roster, we informed them to go to the designated classroom for a meeting according to the roster.

Then, the people in our dormitory also went to the classroom with me and Wu Lianjun first.

When we arrived at the classroom, General Jefferson, Major Chris, and several other CIA officers were already waiting for us in the classroom.

In the classroom, Taiwanese students are giggling and laughing with each other like middle school students!

And the Japanese and Korean students were very serious and quiet sitting in only a few chairs!

We didn't have chairs to sit on, and we were all standing and chatting!

Suddenly, General Jefferson roared, "Captain Jack! Captain Wu! Inform the trainees to assemble in a queue! ”

I immediately stood next to Jefferson, saluted him, and said loudly, "YES!" SIR !”

Then, I turned to the students in English and said, "Arrange in three rows according to the heights!" Waiting for the commander's lecture! ”

Under the guidance of Captain Wu and me, soon, all the cadets stood up in formation!

The shortest students standing in the front row were girls, Japanese students, and South Vietnamese students; The middle row is medium tall, the last row is tall, my people are standing in the last row, and there are Taiwanese and Korean students in the back row.

When the formation was over, I walked up to General Jefferson as the American army was marching!

Then stand up and salute! And shouted: "Report to Your Excellency General!" The Asian train is complete! Please! ”

Then, General Jefferson asked me and Captain Wu to stand with the officers!

General Jefferson said, "Cadets! The children! Now, you really don't look like soldiers! Not even like the CIA! This time, we are going through a very long sea trip! But you're not here for a vacation! I hope that when you come ashore in San Francisco, your state and attitude will change radically! Therefore, your Asian class must become a CIA team that is disciplined, purposeful, enthusiastic and understanding! Now I appoint Jack. Zhou is the squad leader of the Asian squad, your squad leader, Captain Jack is doing very well today! It reflects the courage of a soldier to undertake excellent qualities! At the same time, I appointed Captain Wu Lianjun as the deputy squad leader of the Asia squad to assist Captain Jack in managing the affairs of the class! ”

Then, the two of us walked to the front of the queue of students and saluted them!

Most of the students applauded and congratulated us!

However, a few Korean students began to blow their mouths and ridicule us!

General Jefferson roared, "That monkey was whistling just now? Stand up for me! ”

Standing in the back row, a Korean cadet raised his hand, and then walked out of the column in front of General Jefferson!

The man pointed at me with an arrogant look on his face and said, "General! It's called Park Jeong-yi! He's a deserter! A slut! Why is he our squad leader?! I want you to remove him from office immediately! Our Korean talent is suitable to be a squad leader! ”

Jefferson immediately angrily gave him a few resounding slaps!

Then, General Jefferson stared at him and sneered and said, "How? Little Monkey! Does your face hurt?! Remember that you are a military man! If the military disobeys the order! will be shot! Do you understand? ”

Park Zhengyi knew the seriousness of the problem, so he immediately saluted Jefferson and shouted, "Thank you, sir!" I understand? ”

The other students applauded and laughed!

Then, Jefferson said, "Good! Park-san! You apologize to Jack's squad leader and the other cadets right away! Then, back to the team! ”

After Park Jeongseong bowed to me and General Jefferson, he returned in a huff!
