Chapter 6 When We Get Together

Chentian lives in Thomas's top bunk and is also Ollie's neighbor, and the three quickly get along. It's just that Thomas's children didn't sleep well in the first few days because of Chentian's special identity and Ollie's snoring. But children are children after all, and when they get acquainted with each other, they quickly forget each other's identities, so people always see a farmer's son, a merchant's son, and a prince farther all day together, eating together, washing together, and even calling each other's names when they forget to bring paper to the toilet......

Soon, the Königsberg Cadet Military Academy officially opened. At the opening ceremony, Chen Tian invited Wilhelm II to give an encouraging speech, which made all the cadets of the military academy excited, but their arduous military school career also began......

In the program of the military academy, each cadet will study here for 6 years, in addition to receiving military training and physical training, including various general courses, including mathematics, chemistry, history, geography, etc. In addition, according to Chentian's arrangement, each person can also choose one class hour of foreign language, including English, French and Chinese. Many people wonder why military schools offer Chinese courses, but Chentian explained that Asia is a market with great potential in the future, and China, with its large population, is the most important part of this market. In fact, Chen Tian hopes that the commanders trained in the military academy can help China improve its military strength, no longer be bullied by the foreign powers, and if necessary, join forces with the German Empire to make the world tremble under their feet.

At the Königsberg Cadet Academy, there is also a "honor system" similar to that of West Point, that is, "every cadet must not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate such behavior by others." "This is the main way to cultivate loyalty and integrity in students, and its essence is to emphasize 'self-discipline and self-improvement'. All behaviors that violate the school's regulations will be punished with demerits, foot drills, confinement, and expulsion.

The first few weeks of entering the military academy are basic training, transitional training to turn ordinary people into parasoldiers. The first step is queue training, a variety of pace drills, walking at a mechanical pace day after day. Many children are tired and tired, but they still persevere with tears streaming down their faces. Although Chen Tian's mental age is older than everyone, his body is as immature as everyone else. He had back pain after training every day, and when he returned to the dormitory, he lay motionless on the bed, but he gritted his teeth and persevered like everyone else. During these weeks, only a few children left silently with their burdens on their backs.

Hard training and strict daily life management. Every morning at 6 o'clock, as soon as the wake-up call rings, all the students must get up immediately, go out for morning exercises, tidy up housekeeping, and then stand up respectfully and wait for the instructor to come. From personal attire and grooming to dormitory hygiene, everything must be done flawlessly. Then we went to the big restaurant for dinner. After a 'open meal' command, you can eat. During the meal, no noise is allowed. The meal time is only 20 minutes, and the meal will be collected as soon as the time is up. After breakfast, classes are held from 7:30 to 12 o'clock, with no breaks in between. The lunch and lunch break are only 50 minutes in total. 2 hours of physical activity in the afternoon. After dinner, take a 50-minute break and have evening self-study. All students must not go to bed until 11 p.m. I can only rest for 7 hours every night, and I often have emergency gatherings at night. Here, being clever and losing your temper is absolutely not allowed. Chen Tian has never had a noble temper, so he quickly adapted, Thomas is an honest man, this kind of life habit is relatively easy for him to adapt to, only poor Ollie, always make a loud noise when eating, or be punished for not being allowed to eat because he did not fold the quilt properly. At this time, Chen Tian and Thomas always tried to steal some food for him.

"Ao Fat, why was he punished again! Come, here's the bread I secretly left in the afternoon. ”

"Uh-huh, well, delicious! Starving! ”

After the basic training is a month of field training, which takes place in the valley south of the military academy, where there are dense mountain forests and streams. Chentian and the others all lived in marching tents, and their daily food supply was very small, and they mainly needed to find food on their own. Tatsuten is in a group with Thomas, Ollie, and two other boys.

One rainy afternoon, the two boys were in charge of finding firewood to make a fire, while Chentian, Thomas, and Ollie were looking for food.

"I'm so hungry! If only there was bread and ham to eat now! Ollie grumbled as he walked.

"Ao Fat, you have more fat, you should be more able to starve! Why did you shout hungry so quickly! Hurry up, or you won't have dinner! Chen Tian walked in the front, teasing Ollie.

"yes, Chubby, you're so slow, we can't find food when it's dark! Do you want to spend the night hungry? Then I won't be able to tell if it's the sound of your hungry stomach or the sound of snoring! Thomas was used to making jokes about Ollie, too.

"Alas! You like to make fun of fat people! Ollie muttered.

"Look! There seems to be some fruit over there, let's go and pick it!" At least don't go hungry today! Thomas pointed to a large tree not far away.

But when they approached, they found that the tree had grown on the edge of the cliff, and that it had stretched out diagonally, and that the branches of the trees with fruit had protruded from the cliff, and it seemed that it was because of this that some fruit had not been plucked.

"What to do? It seems dangerous! I'm hungry, but don't take any chances! Ollie shrank his head.

"Look at you, what are you afraid of, I'll crawl over and pick it! Aren't you hungry, you'll have something to fill your stomach in a while." Chen Tian took off his shoes and prepared to climb up.

"Alas! My Royal Highness, let me go! I grew up climbing trees, and that doesn't bother me! Thomas patted Chentian on the shoulder and looked up at the fruits.

"What! I haven't climbed a tree near our stable, I'll come, I'll come! ”

"Guess the box!"

"Rock-paper-scissors...... Oh! ”

Thomas was getting closer and closer to the fruits, just a little closer, but the branches were still too slippery after the rain!

"Ah......h

Thomas hung in the air, and Chentian, who was following him on the big branch, grabbed his hand, but the child's strength was too small, and Thomas's hand began to slide down little by little.

"Thomas, pull it! Ah......h

Just as Thomas's hand was about to slip, Chentian stretched out his other hand and grabbed him with both hands, but he also lost his balance and slid down the tree.

"It's over!" There was only this thought in Chentian's head.

But when Chen Tian and Thomas fell down a dozen centimeters, they stopped in the air again.

"Ollie...... Grab it! Chen Tian didn't look back, but he knew that it was naturally Ollie.

Ollie climbed to a thicker branch on the side just in time and grabbed Chentian's feet at the critical moment.

"Uh-huh......" Ollie pulled the two men, his face flushed.

"Gigi, let it go! Olila can't stop the two of us! If you let go, you can still be saved! ”

"Shut up! We're going to be fine! Certain! Tatsuten gritted his teeth, hoping that Ollie would pull them up, and Thomas and he felt hope together, and they were rising little by little.

"Ollie, good job, come on!"

Unfortunately, Ollie's strength was almost at its limit, and Tatsuten and Thomas stopped in the air again.

"Ollie ......"

Ollie frowned, holding his breath, his eyes red.

"Ah......h

Chentian and Thomas were suddenly pulled up a big section, and the three of them fell from the tree together, but they fell firmly on the dirt on this side of the cliff, Thomas's ass was right on the edge of the cliff, but Chentian pulled him tightly and didn't let go.

"Woooooooooo......oo I don't want you to have anything to do, everyone laughs at me since I was a child, and you don't play with me! Only you care about me and take care of me! Woowoo woo ......"

"Ollie ......"

The three of them suddenly hugged their heads and cried, and Chen Tian suddenly felt that the grievances and troubles of many years were rushing out with tears at this moment, replaced by a happy sense of trust.

"Well, from today onwards, we must help each other, trust each other, and never give up!"

"Well, trust each other and never give up!"

The child's feelings are the truest, and the tears are also the truest, so these three people have been working together since this day, until they are very old, and they will tell their great-grandchildren that story: When we were together......

From the second year onwards, cadets are required to undergo various military trainings: infantry patrols, marching, small arms shooting, combat, mountaineering, swimming, ambulance, wilderness survival, field reconnaissance, ......

Chentian, Ollie, and Thomas all passed all the exams of the military academy without any problems.

To the surprise of the instructors, most of the students who came here had very strong learning and comprehension skills, and most of them performed very well in the study of various ordinary courses, after all, the children who can answer those few brain teaser questions in this era are not intellectually covered. It's just that in military training, some people behave very well, while others behave very averagely, and the situation is similar in physical training. Although it is only a junior military school, and the military and physical requirements are not as strict as those of formal military schools and the military, half of the cadets still drop out or are eliminated after 6 years.

Every day of the military academy is spent in this strict and arduous life, and only at Christmas is everyone allowed to go home for a week. Chentian's parents only saw him once a year, because he refused to let them visit him privately at the military academy. Every time he came home, his parents would find that their child had changed a lot, he had grown taller again, his body had grown stronger again, and his eyes had become more and more resolute.
