Chapter 5 Königsberg Cadet Military Academy

At night, Chen Tian lay in his bathtub, closed his eyes, and felt very comfortable. At this time, his butler Zach was standing respectfully to the side.

"Butler, help me with two things. The first thing is that in the village where the guards found me, there was a little girl named Alice, and she and her family had saved me, and you should invite her and her family to the castle. Then, if they wanted to stay, they would help her parents find something to do in the castle, and if they didn't, give them a sum of money to help them build a larger house. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zach is a skinny old man, but he is very shrewd.

"Another thing is that I want to enter our best military school in Germany, you go and help me do it."

"However, Your Highness, at your current age, even if you enter the Junior Military Academy, you are still too young." Zach replied. "Besides, in your honorable capacity, you can ask for a private instructor for now. When you're older, you'll have to go straight to the Royal Army Academy. ”

"Oh! That's not bad either! So can I build my own junior military academy of my own? It's too boring to learn alone! ”

"Sure, but are you sure it's really fun?"

"What! I'm not here to play, I'm not a kid anymore! Then you go and help me prepare, and by the way, tell my father, I don't think he will object. And the instructors, be sure to find some first-class ones! Best of all, heroes who participated in the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Zach walked to the door, turned around and said, "But I want to warn you, military school is very strict and hard, if you become a deserter, everyone will laugh at you, hehe!" ”

"How is that possible? Zach, don't underestimate me! And in terms of funding, there should be no problem! ”

"Hey, hey! I'm sure Your Highness won't let us down. Don't worry, as the Prince of East Prussia, although you don't have any real power now, you are very rich, and there is a powerful butler like me, isn't it? Hey! ”

This Zach, he always treats me like a child, huh!

But in fact, even Chentian's parents regarded Chentian's move as a child's game, but after all, he was the prince of East Prussia, so he still let him go, and he couldn't play any tricks anyway, but he repeatedly told Zack to try to find some good instructors and not to mistake other people's children.

A few months later, Gigi. The Königsberg Cadet Military Academy, funded by Wilhelm, was completed. According to Chentian's request, the military academy invited more than a dozen middle-ranking officers who had served in the Prussian army and participated in the Franco-Prussian War as instructors, and the cadets in the military academy were selected from East Prussia. What surprised and delighted him the most was that the chief instructor that Zach had invited for the military academy was called Paul. Feng. Hindenburg, a lieutenant colonel staff officer of the East Prussian garrison, although his military literacy was already well-known in the East Prussian garrison at that time, Chen Tian knew that it was not until World War I that Hindenburg commanded the German-Austrian forces on the Eastern Front and achieved a series of brilliant victories in the war against Russia, which was the pinnacle of his life, so he was also praised by the Germans as the "god of national protection". With such a chief instructor, Chen Tian felt that he had really picked up a treasure, no, it should be said that he had picked up a treasure. Oh! Brother Meng, sign it for me!

If you want to enter the Königsberg Cadet Military Academy, you don't need any aristocratic status or family background, you don't need to pay tuition fees and you have a little living allowance, you are 6-10 years old, as long as you can pass a simple entrance exam. Of course, the simplicity is only for Chentian, who came up with the question, and in fact, there are very few people who can pass the entrance exam:

The first is that everyone says the purpose of applying for the military academy, and all the children who are at a loss will be eliminated, because this is not a nursery school, and it is better to go home and stay if they don't even dare to speak; What's even more exaggerated is that someone says something like admiration for the Prince, sweat it! If you don't learn at a young age, you will be eliminated! As long as there is a reasonable reason to pass. The elimination rate of this link is 20%. (Thank you Pinocchio for your support of this session!) )

The second is a basic physical examination, which can be passed as long as you are in good health. The elimination rate of this link is 5%. (Thank you to veterinarian Mr. Moa for his great assistance in this session!)

The last exam is very simple and consists of only three questions:

1. What question will the other party tell you "no" when answering? (Are you asleep?)

2. Which one is more painful to hit the head with a stone or a stick? (Head)

3. There is a person, he was born to your parents, but he is not your brother or sister, who is he? (Self)

The elimination rate in this link is up to 96%! (Thank you to the Chinese for coming up with such a classic brain teaser question.) )

In the end, only 49 children stood out from thousands of applicants and entered the first phase of the Königsberg Junior Military Academy with Chentian, which made Chentian sigh, it seems that the Germans are indeed as old-fashioned as the legend. It's not that it's a mistake to be old-fashioned, a soldier who is old-fashioned may be a good soldier, but a commander who has the lives of millions of people in his hands cannot.

"Gigi, do you really want to live in a military school? The conditions don't seem to be very good, and I don't think you'll get used to it. Why don't you still live in a castle and have someone take you to a military school every day? In Gigi's mother's opinion, her son is less than seven years old, and although the military school is small and the facilities are very good, it still reassures her.

"Mom, don't worry! I want to be a qualified soldier! Chen Tian said indifferently, for his parents in this world, he didn't feel too much affection, many times he would still think of his parents, as well as his little brother, and think of the happy time of the family together.

"Don't worry, he's already a little man! Hahaha! Gigi's father was very supportive of his son's actions, and in his eyes, his son's strong military inclination at such a young age was a great thing for the growing German Empire, and he would definitely become a good prince, as good as himself.

Cadet military academy on the western outskirts of Königsberg.

Thomas is one of the 49 students who have already arrived and have been assigned to five dormitories, and Thomas's room No. 2 currently houses nine people, only his upper bunk is temporarily empty. Thomas, the son of an 8-year-old farmer, was a poor man, so when he heard that the military school not only did not have to pay tuition, but also had a subsidy of 10 marks, his father rushed over with him and his 6-year-old brother overnight to sign up. It's a pity that his younger brother trembled in front of the fierce-looking examiner and didn't dare to speak, and he was eliminated in the first round. But I am happy, not only do I have a full meal every day, but I can also take classes with Prince William, and I will definitely have the opportunity to show my strength in the future.

Thomas looked at the bed next to him, and his "neighbor" was a little fat man with curly blond hair, still eating in his mouth. "Hey! My name is Thomas Burdarich, hello! ”

"Well, hello! My name is Ollie. Kahn! Let's have an apple! My dad helped me pack too much to eat! Ollie handed over an apple and pointed to his luggage, which was literally full of food, eggs, bread, and even ham.

"Thank you! Your family is so exaggerated, bring so many things! I brought some clothes, but this is a military school! Maybe these foods will be taken away by the instructor in a while! ”

"Yes! It's not allowed to keep food privately! But if I can, I can eat it for you! ”

Thomas and Ollie looked up together, and a blonde boy with a large bag was standing in front of them.

"Gianlugi. William! Hello," Chen Tian smiled and stretched out his right hand.
