White clouds are flying, and the waves are swaying. Less than 2 kilometers out of the city, the vast Kiel military port appeared in front of Fang Yan's eyes. The driver sent by Lina to deliver him returned home before the guard post guarded by the armed soldiers, and only Fang Yan could obtain the ability to walk with this military base with the military cadet ID in his hand. As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen ships moored in the open harbor, and with Fang Yan's knowledge of the German Navy, he could easily distinguish that several of them were the Brunswick-class Dreadnought and the Gazelle-class Dome Armor Light Cruiser. Suddenly, Fang Yan couldn't help but have the illusion of returning to 20 years ago; These warships are so old that even the fleets of third-rate countries such as Spain and Chile can boast of these tattered capitals!

As he got closer, Fang Yan discovered an even more gloomy reality: several of the warships were littered with filth and reddish-brown rust, and their most basic care and maintenance had not been effectively met. In fact, this is also the tragic portrayal of the current German Navy: due to the extreme lack of funds, the German Navy cannot even maintain the upper limit of size stipulated in the Treaty of Versailles, and only 3~4 of the 8 former dreadnoughts can basically maintain their combat effectiveness. In order to raise money, the German Navy even studied the crazy task of extracting gold from seawater!

Fang Yan retracted his gaze in a bitter mood, and no longer looked at the old ships that were moored and deserted; He took a step and walked straight towards the barracks not far away. It was a fairly large area, with several standard sports fields in addition to a large number of barracks; Some soldiers could be faintly seen training and running in it, and the breeze seemed to contain loud military whistles and slogans. In the heyday of the High Seas Fleet, it was the daily life and training ground of tens of thousands of sailors; Even though the number of personnel is not as good as before, the solemn and concise aura that belongs to the military camp still makes Fang Yan, who came from afar, have a strong sense of yearning.

"The change in the fate of the German Navy and the country begins here." Fang Yan whispered softly.

At this moment, there were already seven or eight young men standing on the sports field in the barracks who were wearing the same clothes as Fang Yan, and they were undoubtedly all military cadets who had come to report, and their faces were almost full of excitement, longing, and expectation. After all, as long as they devote themselves to training, the cadets who pass the entrance exam will become ensign officers in 3 to 4 years, which is definitely a leap forward in the current German Navy, which is strictly constrained by the Treaty of Versailles.

After simply showing his documents, Fang Yan also walked into the barracks under the envious gaze of the sailors on duty. His belongings have been collected by a special person and will be returned after the room is arranged. Approaching the sports field, Fang Yan, whose sharp eyes had already seen several familiar faces, couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, isn't this Jonas? Otto, who still had a lot of pimples on his face, saw Fang Yan who walked into the barracks, and greeted him from a distance. He and Fang Yan are the youngest of this year's batch of new military academy students, and they formed a friendship with the latter more than the others during the entrance exam more than two months ago. When Fang Yan approached, Otto patted Fang Yan on the shoulder excitedly and communicated with him very familiarly.

In the face of Otto's enthusiasm, Fang Yan also forcibly suppressed his mental fatigue, trying to make himself act as usual, trying not to be discovered by the people next to him that he didn't sleep well last night. Fang Yan, who has not yet adapted to this, is very noisy at the moment, after all, in the current German military circles, premarital sex will also be regarded as a sign of misconduct; Fang Yan, who originally planned to be a good person, was made two rings by a dose of drug by Linna, and now he has to cover up this black history that affects his future no matter what.

At 8:30 a.m., all the new military cadets assembled on the sports field. Despite wearing a uniform military uniform, the handsome and handsome Fang Yan still stood out among the 18 people. With a sharp whistle, three well-dressed officers walked out of the barracks gate quickly, and the old man among them wore colonel epaulettes on his shoulders, and the two next to him also had the rank of major. Seeing this scene, Fang Yan's pupils shrank slightly, in the current German Navy, this is definitely a very rare and weighty senior officer!

"I'm Navy Colonel Lucas, and I'll judge and decide all your basic training results for the next 5 months!" Among them, the old man spoke loudly in a thick voice that was far from his age, and the fierce and solemn aura honed by devoting most of his life to the military made all the military cadets, including Fang Yan, feel a pang in their hearts. The two younger major officers next to him were told by the old colonel Lucas that they were the specific executors of the basic training, and they would accompany the cadets to complete the first course. Fang Yan was not surprised that the German Navy had arranged such a high-ranking officer to be responsible for basic training: the current German Navy simply did not have enough warships to operate, and a large number of officers who had no ships to go on during the rotation period could only condescend to take these newcomers who knew almost nothing about the navy.

In Colonel Lucas's words, Fang Yan also understood the life and mission he would face in the future. In addition to the fully militarized living hours and various physical trainings, cadets are required to familiarize themselves with the basic construction of each warship and acquire an introductory knowledge of oceanography and mechanical engineering. For Fang Yan, the latter two are not a problem at all, and the professional knowledge he has accumulated in his five years of secondary school career is enough for him to push all the way through this kind of trial. And since Fang Yan decided to join the navy as the first step to change his history, he was undoubtedly ready to endure hardships physically; From another point of view, a strong body belongs to him after all, and Sylvia should be more obsessed with his body that has been tempered by the military.

Before you know it, a morning has passed quickly. Fang Yan and other military cadets walked into the cafeteria together with the officers and soldiers in the barracks, and the rich dishes with nutritious combinations made everyone feel excited. This free lunch is undoubtedly a benefit of the army, and even though the navy's status in the country is inferior to that of the army, the Weimar government still does not dare to offend this force, and has never spared in the field of food that can give officers and soldiers a direct feeling. After eating and drinking, Fang Yan and the others also got their own dormitories, as well as various daily necessities such as clothes. Since there is only a small class of 18 students, the cadets are fortunate to enjoy the treatment of 2 people living in a spacious room with 10 people. Fang Yan was a little funny to find that the area at his disposal was actually larger than the study at home, which could be regarded as a benefit brought to himself by the Allies in the restrictions on the German naval lineup.

What made Fang Yan feel extremely fortunate was that the first day of training was just for them to understand their future tasks as military cadets, to be precise, to be pre-school warm-up; Without any physical training, Colonel Lucas ordered his dismissal. Seeing that it was still early, someone suggested going to Kiel City to take a stroll, and it quickly received an enthusiastic response, but Fang Yan was obviously not among them. He had only rested for nearly three hours yesterday, and he was already extremely tired by now, and in the face of everyone's invitation, he gritted his teeth and refused on the grounds that he had not slept well all night in the excitement because he was too looking forward to today's enrollment last night. After making the bed, exhausted Fang Yan immediately collapsed on the pillow and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Heavy footsteps, echoing in the silent corridors, Colonel Lucas and two middle-aged majors walked together, using keys to open the dormitory of the cadets one by one. As far as the eye can see, the huge room is empty. Seeing this, the expressions of the two majors did not change, as if they had expected such a situation; It's just that the old colonel Lucas was a little gloomy and unhappy, and there was a faint hint of anger in his eyes.

"Do these young people think that the barracks are some kind of place, and do they really think that they can slack off and play in ordinary schools?" Lucas's voice was cold, and his displeasure was already evident. A stout major beside him snorted and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, they will inevitably pay the price for today's intemptuous attitude. I'm going to surprise them a big surprise tomorrow morning, and I'll be able to teach these little ones with fine skin and tender meat a lesson they won't forget. Once they were at the barracks gate, they didn't want to go out comfortably. ”

Lucas nodded slightly, his annoyed expression finally lightening a little. He didn't want to look at the other rooms anymore, expecting everyone to be the same. However, after not taking a few steps, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly, because in room 107 beside him, there was a faint snoring sound coming through the crack in the door.

Lucas raised his hand slightly, stopped the footsteps of the two people around him, his eyes flickered, and he quietly opened the door with the key. In the neat and clean room, a long figure was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and that young and handsome face made Lucas instantly match the identity of the other party with the person in his memory.

"This little guy is sleeping at this point in time?" The stout major was stunned and couldn't help but whisper. Lucas, who was silent for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, his smile full of comical and funny. He exited the room and closed the door again, smiling, "Whatever the reason, it's all his luck." I'm starting to pay some attention to this little guy who looks like a model more than a soldier. ”
