Chapter 243: Oriental Meteor
c_t; Barand looked at Gustav in shock and said, "Gustav, do you say that this gentleman is Shi Yin, who was called a meteor by Master Bismarck?" ”
Gustav replied, "Haha, Barland, is there a second Chinese like a shooting star in Germany?" He is definitely the eastern meteor in the sky over Prussia! I had met my father several times with Master Bismarck, and I couldn't be wrong! ”
Shi Dakai saw that someone recognized him, nodded helplessly, and said: "Yes, I am Shi Yin, who appeared briefly in Prussia back then, thank you Mr. Bismarck for taking care of me back then!" ”
Zhang Yi was puzzled: "Old man? ”
Gustav looked at Zhang Yi's puzzled expression and sighed: "General Jianzhi, I really didn't expect that you would be able to get the help of Mr. Shi Yin, Mr. Shi Yin was like a meteor, appeared suddenly in Prussia, and then passed away, no one knows his specific origin, and no one knows his final whereabouts, the Krupp family has a deep relationship with Lord Bismarck, and often tells me that if Mr. Shi Yin can finally agree to let him stay in Prussia and assist him in military affairs or teach in military academies, Prussia's military power will be stronger than it is now, and in the Franco-Prussian War, perhaps greater achievements will be achieved, but unfortunately no one knows how Mr. Shi Yin left Prussia, when the Franco-Prussian War was about to begin, Lord Bismarck, busy with state affairs, really did not have the energy to look for him again, and we missed it because we thought that the military genius reads;! ”
Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Of course, Mr. Shi was a rare military genius at that time, dear Gustav, now Mr. Shi is the first principal of the Fengtian Martial Arts Academy I appointed, and he will work with me to build the Fengtian Martial Arts Academy into a world-class military academy, and it is a blessing to have Mr. Shi's help!" ”
Gustav muttered, "General Jianzhi, God has favored you too much, brought you to a treasure like Mukden, and gave you Mr. Shi Yin." With you and Mr. Shi Yin personally teaching me, I feel that there is no need for our German military instructors to come to Mukden. ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Mr. Gustav, there is an old Chinese saying that it is difficult to make a forest alone, whether it is me or Mr. Shi Yin, it is impossible for the two of us to build the Fengtian Military Academy into a first-class military academy that attracts worldwide attention. What's more, I am entangled in official duties, and it is even more difficult to spare energy. Come and give a class for the Military Academy. Without your country's excellent military instructors, it would be difficult for us to systematically establish our military subjects, after all, we have too few generals who have undergone modern military education, and we have to rely on your country's military elite to accomplish this. ”
Gustav rolled his eyes and said: "Hehe Jianzhi, I think our unilateral military student program will be changed, we will not only send elite troops to Mukden to learn special operations, but also send some young instructors to Mukden for military exchanges and further study, I find that your subordinates are full of talents." Military exchanges with you will definitely benefit a lot! ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "Then I'm welcome!" ”
Barland said suddenly: "Dear General Jianzhi, for Lord Bismarck, to meet Mr. Shi Yin again, a long-cherished wish of his old man, I am willing to send an invitation to Mr. Shi Yin on behalf of Lord Bismarck, and invite Mr. Shi Yin to travel west." When visiting Germany, Bismarck was bound to wait for a private estate. ”
Shi Dakai said: "Well, if I have the opportunity, I would also like to meet with Mr. Bismarck, but it has been almost thirty years since the old man left Germany. I don't know what that beautiful land has become now......"
Zhang Yi was a little shocked in his heart, he really didn't expect that Shi Dakai traveled to the West incognito back then, and there was such a legendary experience......
Shi Dakai led everyone to visit the martial arts academy under construction and explained his experience to Zhang Yi.
At the beginning of Shi Dakai's journey to the west, he first went to England and stayed in England for two years to study the economic, social and military dynamics of England. Two years later. entered Spain, stayed in Spain for nearly a year, and then entered France, which was powerful at that time, and lived in France for more than two years, secretly inspected the French Army, which is known as the world's first, and learned about Western warships and artillery, especially for Western military technology; Later, he went all the way east, entered Prussia at that time, the largest state of the German Confederation, and met Bismarck by chance in Prussia.
At that time, Bismarck was explaining military policy at a public meeting, debating with his opponents, and when it was intense, Shi Dakai saw that he was happy to hunt and participated, and with his incisive exposition of Sun Tzu's Art of War, he calmed everyone present at that time, and was regarded as a guest by Bismarck, and often invited Shi Dakai to give lectures, and Shi Dakai translated "The Art of War" into German, but Shi Dakai could only speak German, but he could not write German characters. This Art of War and the Tao Te Ching, which circulated in German philosophical circles, have become the twin pillars of the Orient and have been passed down as beautiful talks.
Later, Bismarck wanted to directly hire Shi Dakai, but the professor of the Prussian Military Academy at that time refused for Shi Dakai, and before the Franco-Prussian War began, he drifted away and disappeared.
But it was Shi Dakai who set out from Hamburg and rushed to the United States to inspect the industrial economy. In this way, Shi Dakai stayed in Germany for a year, the first half of the year was silent, but the second half of the year was a sudden rise of fame, shaking the military circles at that time, after the fame shocked the military circles, there was a sudden death, without a trace, Bismarck sighed called the Oriental meteor over Prussia, brilliant for a while, but disappeared without a trace, the only trace is the translation into German Sun Tzu's Art of War, without Shi Dakai such a literary and military all-round character, without his deep understanding of Sun Tzu's Art of War, ordinary people are difficult to complete such a translation.
Zhang Yi sighed again and again that creation makes people, and decades later, it is a miracle that he was able to meet the old German people in China.
Shi Dakai said: "Jianzhi, now that the martial arts academy is about to be completed, as long as there is another month, the main building will be completed, I think when the time comes, you can enroll students in the academy, you have to be ready." ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, now that Gustav and Barand have passed the cooperation agreement back to China, it is bound that in the short term, the German side will send a military instructor corps, and in a month and a half, it will definitely be able to arrive, and then our academy can be completed at that time, students?" I will drive all the major military generals in the military academy into the martial arts academy, and if you can't get a graduation certificate, then stay in the martial arts academy and sweep the land for the rest of your life, don't come out and embarrass me......"
Shi Dakai laughed and said: "Just the group of arrogant soldiers under your command, some of them have suffered a ...... now" (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
