Chapter 1 Whampoa

March 6, 1931.

This day is the 20th year of the Republic of China, and now the country is in a turbulent period.

On March 6, 1931, the ninth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy opened, and aspiring boys devoted themselves to it.

For the country, for the people, for the ideals, for the faith, aspiring young people to serve the country, on this day the Whampoa Military Academy ushered in the ninth phase of members, Li Yang is one of them.

Li Yang, male, 18 years old, is in the prime of his youth, 180 plus tall, not burly, but also very strong.

Entering the Whampoa Military Academy, he first studied politics for a month to impart basic knowledge and theory, and then was assigned a professional class for three months of military skills training, Li Yang was assigned to the infantry class, and in addition to military theoretical training every day, he was physically fit, design, driving, field service, tactics, weapons, transportation, city building, etc.

Initially, students were taught infantry drills, shooting lessons, basic military knowledge, and then other skills were learned, four months passed quickly, which also ushered in their first exam, the Whampoa Military Academy's exams were all through actual combat drills, recruit academies, and the veteran oils pulled from the army, some of these people had also graduated from Whampoa, which was a confrontation exercise between juniors and seniors, so both sides took out 120 percent of their strength to complete the exercise.

It was his third month at the Whampoa Military Academy, and one night.

That night, today is also a day of holiday and rest, many people choose to go home, but Li Yang's family is in Shanghai, he did not choose to go back, but stayed in the military academy, sleeping lazily in the dormitory, Li Yang was among the best in all subjects in their class, so it also attracted the special attention of his military instructors.

That night, Li Yang's instructor came to Li Yang's dormitory, and Li Yang was the only one in the dormitory, so the instructor knocked on the door, pushed the door in, and greeted Li Yang like a friend.

"Li Yang, didn't you go home on the weekend? Seeing that your dorm door is unlocked, come in and have a look. "The instructor's surname is Huang, he is very burly, he used to come down from the battlefield, he was injured, maybe he had a relationship with his family, and he was transferred to the Whampoa Military Academy as an instructor.

"Hello Instructor Huang." When Li Yang saw Instructor Huang coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted, and his movements were very standard.

"You don't have to salute, you just come here on the weekend to see. Put it down," Instructor Huang said with a smile, so he found a chair and sat down.

"Yes" Li Yang replied and put down his arms, but Li Yang still stood straight, three months later, Li Yang is not as thin as before, much burly, and a lot of tanned, the military uniform is very suitable for his body, straight and straight, burly and powerful, solemn and majestic.

"Forget it, come with me, someone is talking to you" Instructor Huang didn't say anything, and after sitting for a while, he felt that he couldn't tell Li Yang, so let's talk about it.

"Yes" Li Yang always obeyed orders, but he didn't know that Instructor Huang said that someone was looking for him, who this person was, he didn't know, what he learned from here was that the boss's orders were as big as the sky, and it was the duty of soldiers to obey orders.

Instructor Huang took him to an office on the third floor of the Political and Educational Department, and the third floor was the office of some leaders, principals, and directors, and the people here were all powerful figures in the Whampoa Military Academy, and Li Yang couldn't think of who wanted to see him.

Came to the door of an office, Li Yang followed Instructor Huang and walked in, Li Yang saw that there was only one person sitting in the office, this person had never seen this person in the Whampoa Military Academy, not to mention anything else, Li Yang's memory was very amazing, he had seen things once, and he could accurately describe them afterwards, in a military class, Li Yang was restoring the geography of the mountains, observing the mountains, and describing them all on the sand table after going back, although it was required to only have a rough model, but Li Yang's score was 100 points, because, He demonstrated all the details on the sand table, including the approximate number of trees and the location of the rocks, and accurately described them.

Therefore, when Li Yang saw this person for the first time, he knew that this person had never appeared in the academy, and he was not an incumbent of the school, although they did not often see the school leaders, but on the first day of school, at the recruit meeting, all the leaders missed a meeting, but this person was not among them.

The middle-aged man in the office, thin and with old-fashioned eyes hanging on his eyes, was sitting at his desk looking at the materials.

"Zhang, Li Yang brought it over" Instructor Huang said to the person sitting in the Taishi chair, it turned out that this person's surname was Zhang, and he was still a director.

"Well, you go out first" The man didn't raise his head, and waved directly to let Instructor Huang go out, and Instructor Huang didn't delay and walked out directly. By the way, he also patted Li Yang's shoulder, and grasped the meaning well.

The person on the Taishi chair did not look up at Li Yang, but continued to look down at the information in his hand, it seemed that the information in his hand was more attractive than Li Yang, Li Yang did not say anything, but stood there straight, without too many complaints, just obey the command.

After about half an hour, Zhang Chu finally finished reading the information in his hand, slowly took off his glasses, put them and looked up at Li Yang.

"Your name is Li Yang?"

"Yes, sir," Li Yang replied loudly.

"Sit down, don't stand," Zhang beckoned him to sit down.

"No, you shouldn't be on an equal footing in front of the commander" Li Yang knew the rules, in the army, how could he be on an equal footing with the commander.

"It's okay, sit down, there is no chief here today, but only the relationship between a veteran and a recruit, sit" Zhang Chu seemed to appreciate this child very much, and said to Li Yang with a smile.

Li Yang is not twisting anymore, everyone is shouting for the second time that he has done it, and if he doesn't do it, he won't give face to others, and he still has the ability to observe words and colors.

"Do you know what you're looking for?" Zhang Chu went directly to the topic and asked Li Yang a question.

"I don't know." Li Yang shook his head, he really didn't know, besides, there was no connection between the two people, and he didn't recognize others.

"I came to you today, there is indeed one thing, let's introduce myself first"

"I am Major General Zhang Xianghui of the General Staff of the First Group Army, and I really have something to talk to you about this time," Zhang Xianghui made a brief introduction to Li Yang.

"Hello sir" Li Yang heard Zhang Xianghui's introduction, and immediately got up to salute him here, as for why Instructor Huang called him Zhang Chu just now, he didn't get entangled.

"Sit down and listen to me." Zhang Xianghui smiled and motioned for Li Yang to sit down.

"I investigated your family, I really didn't expect it, it's scary, I'm still struggling with whether to let you do this." Zhang Xianghui has not finished speaking.

"Soldiers obey orders" Li Yang is not an official word, this is his sincerity.

"Okay, I didn't mistake you."

"To put it bluntly, the situation is grim now, and we have a lot of internal problems, I got the news that in the second half of the year, the principal may have to follow the example of Munich, Germany to set up an internal supervision organization, including internal supervision, and external intelligence acquisition, this plan is implemented before the winter at the latest, I want to join the organization, in the future on the battlefield, intelligence work is the first, he can well avoid casualties on the frontal battlefield, but you should also be mentally prepared." Zhang Xianghui briefly told Li Yang about this matter, he was talking to Li Yang as a soldier.

"And I said it publicly, at present, we have a large proportion of Baoding officers in the army, but the future is an intelligence war, and there needs to be someone in this position, so I can be regarded as planning in advance."

Li Yang thought about it for a while, what kind of position is this, spy, obtaining intelligence, which means that he can't go to the battlefield anymore, and walks with the night every day, but this is also a dangerous position. He is a highly educated, authentic Fudan University graduate, his mind is not so stubborn, and he knows what he will face in the future.

"Okay." Li Yang thought for a while, did not refuse, agreed, and it was precisely in this way that he changed his future life path and embarked on another road full of deceit and hidden crises.
