Subtitle of this chapter: Master Yuan's Naval Officer Training Program

…………………………

"Master Ball, you reminded me. Quickly help me search to see if there is a crossing into Murong Chong. ”

"Searching...... Unfortunately, no. There is a crossing into the fox chong. ”

"Master Ball, why don't you say that there is still an undefeated one who has crossed into the East?"

"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Eva Chandler was a little shy.

"Hello, Miss Chandler." Our Master Yuan looked at the little beauty carefully with a serious face and said, "Very good, very good, you are much thinner than in the photo." It's been a hard time, right? ”

Yuan Yanqian hadn't seen her before, but she had seen her photos. As an important actor in "The Orphan of Famine", Miss Chandler naturally has to go on a diet to lose weight like Miss Lillian Gish.

"No, it's not hard." Little Sister Eva shook her head, but said in her mouth, "I feel like a foal when I eat vegetables every day." ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed together when they heard this.

Master Yuan's heart moved again when he heard these words, weight loss food is a good business, and he can get involved in it if he has the opportunity in the future.

He reached out to the last Chandler and said with a big smile: "Hello, Mr. Heinche-Chandler. Good handsome lad. ”

Not to mention, this kid is really good-looking, a bit like the male protagonist of the old German movie "Handsome Boy", it seems that the Chandler family has very good genes.

The seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy stepped forward with an excited look, shook his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, it's a pleasure to meet you!" I love your A Song of Ice and Fire so much, can you sign me? ”

"Nope." Yuan Yan shook his head with a straight face.

"Huh?!" The boy was stunned when he heard this.

Master Yuan winked at Heinche, who was very disappointed and stunned, and said, "Mr. Chandler, you are now my friend, how can there be an author who only signs autographs for his friend but does not give him a set of books?" ”

The young man who turned his worries into joy hurriedly said thank you.

In this way, Yuan Yanqian introduced the Chandler family into the restaurant, and had a sumptuous dinner with them, as well as Miss Jish and Miss Ainuka.

The protagonist at the table is, of course, Master Yuan, as the master, who is now a legend who is not too big or small. Especially since I just won a duel a few days ago and went to the White House to meet President Harding, there are so many stories to tell.

In addition, he is eloquent, funny, and humorous, and he is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. So he let the guests and hosts of this farewell banquet be happy, and did not let the Chandler family fall into sorrow.

"Ann, Lilian, you teach Julie and Eva to play mahjong well." Master Yuan sent the four ladies away and said to the other three, "Gentlemen, let's go to the living room and have a drink." ”

Everyone had no objections, and they were divided into two groups, men and women, each for after-dinner entertainment.

After the four of them drank after-dinner wine and said a few gossips, Yuan Yanqian led the conversation to the track he was pondering just now.

He asked little Mr. Chandler seemingly casually, "Heinche, I just heard that you are graduating from high school this year, so what are your plans for the next step?" Which university are you going to study in what major? ”

When the young man heard this, he was refreshed and said with great interest: "I want to apply for the military academy, but I ......"

He glanced at his father and brother in frustration, and said in a somewhat complaining tone, "But they won't let me." ”

Master Yuan said in his heart, it seems that the money he paid to the Pinkerton Detective Agency is worth the ticket price, and this young man really had some small disputes with his father and brother because of the fact that he wanted to go to military school as stated in the report.

He reckoned that Heinche wanted to become a soldier because he had been stimulated by his brother's treason case in recent years.

Just imagine, an adolescent boy like Heinche would have had a respected American officer brother, and he should be quite proud.

However, when the brother returned to China, he became a suspected treason. So as a younger brother, how much pressure will Heinche be subjected to.

Needless to say, his school days have certainly not been so easy these years. Then the teenager naturally wanted to prove himself and prove that the men of the Chandler family were not cowards.

And Heinche-Chandler's wish is exactly what Yuan Yanqian wants.

Old Mr. Chandler coughed and said, "Heinche, we have already discussed this matter. Even if you want to go to a military school, the reality doesn't allow it! ”

Why does Mr. Professor say that "the reality does not allow it"?

Because military schools in the United States are not something you can get into if you apply for the exam, but you need to be recommended by qualified people, and the recommender must at least be a state senator.

Now that there is a "traitor" in the Chandler family, people naturally refuse to recommend Heinche anymore. And because of his brother Julian's "bad deeds", even if someone recommends a military school, I am afraid that he will be rejected.

"Oh, so you're worried about that." Yuan Yanqian pretended not to know anything about this, and said very enthusiastically, "I have a way!" ”

"If it's Army Academies like West Point and Virginia, I really can't help. But ......"

"If Heinche wants to go to the U.S. Naval Academy, I have a way."

The U.S. Naval Academy also has a more familiar name, Annapolis Military Academy. In fact, there is no need to introduce too much, just know that this is the only regular military academy in the US Navy.

And Master Yuan's path is naturally FDR, the former deputy secretary of the Admiralty, and don't forget, his relative Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is the current deputy secretary of the Admiralty.

With the recommendation of these two Roosevelts, there was a great chance that little Mr. Chandler would enter the Annapolis Military Academy and become a reserve officer in the Navy.

As for why Yuan Yanqian is so enthusiastic...... Do you still need to ask?

Now this seventeen-year-old boy will be thirty-seven years old in twenty years, which happens to be the most golden years of a man.

If he had been mixed in the naval forces, it was entirely possible that he would have served as a lieutenant colonel or colonel captain of a first-class ship such as a battleship or an aircraft carrier in World War II, and if he was lucky enough in wartime, he would have become a rear admiral commander of a detachment. Maybe he will be a lieutenant general at the end of World War II.

Even if he was not the commander of the ship, whether it was naval aviation or the Marine Corps, Heinche climbed to the position of a mid-level officer twenty years later. What's more, he also has the help of Master Yuan.

And 1921 for the United States...... No, it's a critical moment for the navies!

In Washington, as the Times reporter put it, Secretary of State Hughes "sank" more tonnage in 35 minutes than the navies of nations in centuries sank more tonnage.

With the advent of the "Navy Holiday" in 1922, the world's major naval powers will reduce their naval forces, and of course, at the same time reduce the size of military academies.

Therefore, the 1921 class can be said to be the last train of naval officers.

…………………………

Please allow Murong to complain, I often see people criticizing this broken book, and write wherever you want. I'm really aggrieved by this kind of evaluation.

It's not that I'm boasting, but this book has been written in strict accordance with the outline until now, and every character who appears is useful.

Murong is relieved that you patients should be able to understand me.
