Chapter 1049: Expected
After Li Zhen's introduction, Grant, Lincoln, and Drafield no longer had any doubts.
It's just that Gran felt a deep pressure.
The two young men he faced were not ordinary people, they were soldiers with a lot of experience. The two young people in front of them can no longer be measured by age, and they must be cautious. Even, whether he can win this confrontation is already an unknown puzzle. Neither Lincoln nor Delafield could have predicted the final outcome of the match.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and continued: "Colonel Grant, the young man is sharp, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is, please beat them more and let them know that there are people outside the sky and mountains outside the mountains." Their path is not necessarily good, and failure is sometimes the best outcome for them, and it is the only way to success. Therefore, it is hoped that Colonel Grant will let them see the mountains beyond the mountains. ”
Grant forced a smile to himself and said, "President Lee is humble!" ”
Lincoln said: "Now that the commanders of both sides have been determined, the next step is to gather the cadets of the military academy, select two hundred cadets, and then assign them to Colonel Grant and Brigadier Liu Jintang." ”
Drafield nodded and said, "Let's go, go to the training ground!" ”
He took the lead, followed by Grant and Lincoln, and Li Zhen, Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng and others followed in turn. Li Zhen asked as he walked: "Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, after discussing it all night, what happened to the result?" Just now, I was trying my best to brag for you, to fight for your face, if it ends in failure, I will let people serve you well when I go back. ”
The two of them shuddered when they heard Li Zhen's tone.
Just now I said that failure is a good result, but now I have changed my tone, and the change is too fast.
Liu Jintang slandered in his heart, but said with a serious face: "Please rest assured, the president will win!" ”
"Good!"
Seeing this, Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, victory or defeat is an important aspect of Li Zhen, after all, everyone wants victory. However, Li Zhen pays more attention to the mentality of Liu Jintang and Chen Yucheng, and must have the mentality of not being afraid of difficulties. As long as the two can play normally in this confrontation, even if they lose, Li Zhen thinks that there is a gain. After all, the enemy they face is the future Federation Commander with the title of 'Grant the Butcher'.
Therefore, Li Zhen did not put the result first.
The group soon came to the training ground, and they all stood on the rostrum.
The assembly horn sounded, and the students came quickly.
In less than five minutes, all the academies were assembled and neatly arranged in the training ground.
"Count!"
With a loud shout, he immediately began to count by name.
The number of people was quickly determined, and no one was absent, and all of them were present.
Zuo Zongtang stood beside Li Zhen, he saw the soldiers standing below, and roughly estimated that there were no more than four hundred. Zuo Zongtang was puzzled in his heart, and said in a low voice: "President, this is the most famous military academy in the United States, why is there such a small number?" ”
Li Zhen replied: "Soldiers are expensive, but not much, not to mention that the generals are trained here." ”
Zuo Zongtang suddenly realized and understood.
Drafield stood at the front, and he drew two hundred directly from the students, and then divided the students into two groups, a group of one hundred. After the two groups were determined, Drafield spoke, "Soldiers, you are divided into two groups because there will be a few days of confrontation in the future. You will be under the command of different personnel, one of whom is your senior, Colonel Grande, and the other is the brigade commander from China, Mr. Liu Jintang. ”
"There will be a military confrontation between Brigadier Commander Liu Jintang and Colonel Grant, this is an opportunity for you to learn from them, I hope you will seize the opportunity and gain a lot in this battle. In addition, after this war, everyone will have to write a post-war summary, and I wish you all the best in advance for your summary. ”
Delafeld finished quickly, with a look of anticipation on his face.
After listening to this, the two groups of students had a lot of discussions.
A look of excitement appeared on their faces, which was undoubtedly interesting for such a simulated war.
Delafeld took a breath and said aloud again: "This time, President Lincoln and President Li Zhen from China will also watch the whole game, and your performance will be in the vision of the two presidents. ”
Although he was old, he was full of passion, and he said loudly: "Do you hear clearly? ”
"Clear!"
Two groups of students answered in unison.
Drafield shook his head, turned sideways, put his palm next to his ear, pretended not to hear, and asked again, "Is it clear?" ”
"Clear!"
The sound of categorical resounding resounded in the sky and the earth for a long time in the training ground.
Drafield nodded in satisfaction and said, "Next, I have Colonel Grant, the commander." As the words fell, there was thunderous applause in the school field, and Colonel Grant walked out with a smile on his face and waved to the students standing below. He himself was a graduate of West Point and came back often, and the cadets were no strangers to Grant.
Delinfeld added: "Next, I would like to invite China's Brigadier Liu Jintang!" ”
The applause rang out, and everyone's eyes were on Li Zhen, Zuo Zongtang, Huang Qiang, and Rong Hong, and they all thought that 'Brigadier Liu Jintang' must be one of them, but everyone didn't expect that what came out was a young man who was younger than them. In an instant, the thunderous applause suddenly stopped, became sparse, and ended early.
On the training ground, there was an uproar.
All the students had a skeptical look on their faces, thinking that Liu Jintang was difficult to convince the public.
Can a young man under twenty really command them? Obviously, the West Point students did not agree with Liu Jintang. However, Liu Jintang had expected such a situation before he came, his expression was not shocked, and the expression on his face did not change. He came to the stage, stood straight on the training ground, raised his head and chest, raised his hand and performed a standard military salute, and then stood straight on the training ground.
His gaze looked at Drafield, and he nodded, signaling that Drafield could continue.
Grant paid attention to Liu Jintang, and his expression gradually became serious.
This young man, whose mentality is far more calm than that of people of the same age, cannot be measured by age.
Drafield then divided the trainees into groups, assigning the 100 cadets on the training ground to the right of the rostrum to Colonel Grant and the 100 cadets facing the left of the rostrum to Liu Jintang. Delafeld finished assigning, but there were students below who came to make a fuss, shouting loudly, and laughing at Liu Jintang for not being able to do it.
Liu Jintang ignored it and said, "Your Excellency the principal, I have something to say to the students below!" ”
