PS: The study time is tight, and I am sorry for the temporary break of two weeks.

In a wing room less than 200 meters away from the meeting room, Li Mingyuan held in his hand the information collected by the Military Intelligence Department on the members of the delegation of German officers.

Gottlieb von Hazeller, a Prussian Junker nobleman, born in 1836, fought cautiously and adhered to the Prussian officer tradition, participated in the Prussian-Danish War of 1864, the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, and was promoted to colonel officer of the German General Staff in 1877, responsible for the study of German military history.

August von Mackensen, born in Wittenberg, Saxony in 1849, studied horsemanship with his grandfather, a cavalry officer, joined the army in 1869 and joined the Prussian "Death Hussar" unit, was promoted to second lieutenant during the Franco-Prussian War, and was promoted to lieutenant in 1876 and captain in 1878. is an excellent cavalry officer.

Colmar von der Goltz, born in 1843 in East Prussia Junker landlord family, at the age of two the family fell into the middle of the road, the family's land was sold, his father died of illness at the age of six, at the age of 18 he joined the army to serve in the Prussian 41st Infantry Regiment, in 1871 he was transferred to the Prussian General Staff with the rank of lieutenant, in 1876 he was expelled from the General Staff because he did not conform to the concept of the German officer corps, and in 1878 he was promoted to the rank of captain.

Colmar von der Goltz had excellent military skills and a unique sense of the big picture, which was rumored to be valued by Moltke the Elder. ……”

After reading the intelligence briefings of more than a dozen German officers, Li Mingyuan found that among them were several famous German army generals in the future.

"Count Gottlieb von Hazelle, German Field Marshal, committed suicide after the collapse of the Second German Reich.

August von Mackensen, who defeated the Russians several times in World War I, was a well-known mobile combat general.

Colmar von der Goltz, who served as the representative of the Ottoman officers in 1883, presided over the reform of the Ottoman army, reorganized the backward Ottoman army into a modern army, and in 1897, the Ottoman army commanded and trained defeated the Greek troops, and was a master of military and political strategy.

Remos von Walch, in June 1916, defeated the Russian Brushilov offensive in central Russia. During World War I, he was an important general on the Eastern Front of Germany.

Herman. Feng. Eichhorn, a famous artillery general in World War I............"

In the nearly 50 years from 1870 to 1918, many outstanding military generals emerged in the Second German Empire.

The five German officers with the potential to be famous generals were all excellent instructors in the Army Military Academy, but Li Mingyuan admired Colmar von der Golz more than the other four, unlike the traditional Prussian officers.

During the Ottoman Empire, Colmar von der Golz used his control over German arms imports to reject all corruption and successfully persuaded the Ottoman Sultan to train the army according to his plan, and trained a group of outstanding young officers for the modern Turkish Republic.

After returning from the Ottoman homeland, he personally compiled a military book called "The Armed People", which gave detailed explanations of a series of policies such as the country's general war and war production.

The book "The Armed People" pioneered the concept of people's war, which was later provided by the Third German Reich to the road of militarism, and was recognized by Hitler, Stalin and other leaders.

After the Franco-Prussian War, Colmar von der Golz began to think about how Germany would deal with the Armageddon with France, and the sudden rise of the Han state in South America, Li Mingyuan's three-in-one national mobilization system based on the influence of later generations probably aroused his interest and led him to the idea of visiting South America to study and learn from it.

Li Mingyuan roughly guessed the real purpose of Colmar von der Goltz's visit to the Han Kingdom, but he did not think that Colmar von der Gortz's ideas were any harm to the Han Kingdom, because the Han Kingdom and Germany had close trade exchanges, and there would be no fundamental conflict of interests between the two countries across the vast Atlantic, so even if Colmar von der Goltz applied the experience of the Han expedition to Germany, it would only increase Germany's strength in World War I, and would not have a significant impact on the political situation in South America.

After spending half an hour carefully reading the introductions of each member of the officer corps, Li Mingyuan waved his hand and beckoned a guard to destroy the information, stood up and left the wing. ……

In the reception hall, Li Mingyuan talked to each German in a gentle manner, and then began the topic of the talks.

"Count Gottlieb von Hazelle has a wealth of military experience, and I would like to appoint you as a military adviser to the Wehrmacht to assist the Wehrmacht General Staff Headquarters in planning troop training, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I need to be given decision-making power over the training of your army, and if you agree, I am willing to accept the position of military adviser."

"I trust the Count's abilities." Li Mingyuan nodded, and said to Liu Pu, who was at the head of the group, "Chief of Staff Liu, after Count Gottlieb von Hazelle enters the General Staff, you should follow his advice more and give the Count appropriate decision-making power in terms of troop training. ”

"I understand."

Liu Pu stood up and said cooperatively.

Gottlieb von Hazler proved his military capabilities in the war decades later, but Li Mingyuan could not fully trust him, and giving him limited decision-making power was the safest choice, as for how to determine the scope of decision-making power, Liu Pu needed to grasp it himself.

"Captain Colmar von der Goltz, there is a lack of suitable candidates for the post of Interim Director of Education at the Army Military Academy, and I would like you to succeed you as Director of Education."

"Your Majesty, what are the specific functional categories of the Director of Education?"

Colmar von der Golz asked, standing up.

"The Army Military Academy has set up three main positions: the principal, the director of education, and the political director, and I personally serve as the principal, and the political director is responsible for the patriotic education and ideological and value guidance of the cadets of the military academy.

As the king of the Han Dynasty, Li Mingyuan could not really manage the affairs of the military academy as the principal, and the political director was only responsible for the ideological education of the cadets, while the director of education could manage all affairs except the ideological education of the cadets.

Colmar von der Golz was very satisfied with Li Mingyuan's arrangement for him, and he saluted Li Mingyuan in accordance with German etiquette and accepted the appointment.
