The sudden rise of the Rashid family attracted the attention of the British, especially after they discovered that the Rashid family had hired soldiers from the East China Autonomous Axe.

In mid-June, Britain protested to the East China Autonomous Axe, accusing the East China Autonomous Axe of investigating the situation on the Arabian Peninsula.

"Damn British." Xia Jun cursed and hurriedly sent Zhu Xiaocheng to the British Embassy to communicate.

Zhu Xiaocheng communicated with the British special ambassador Zhu Erdian for a long time before he explained the matter clearly.

The East China Autonomous Axe said that it had no intention of interfering in the situation on the Arabian Peninsula, and that the Rashid family's hiring of the East China Political Axe Army was a personal act.

In addition, the East China Autonomous Axe had no intention of encroaching on British protected areas in the Arabian Peninsula, which would force the Rashid family to sign a non-aggression pact with the British.

It was these assurances made by the East China Autonomous Axe that the British were relieved, and soon they received a report from the British embassy in the UAE, Defar, claiming that the Rashid family was willing to sign a non-aggression pact with the British.

The British had little interest in the barren Arabian Peninsula, they were only interested in the Suez Canal, and a non-aggression pact was clearly what they wanted.

However, there is one thing that makes the British very unhappy, that is, the Rashid family has obviously signed some kind of alliance with the East China Autonomous Axe, although the power of the East China Autonomous Axe is still very weak, and it is not enough to shake the British position as the world hegemon. Recently, however, there has been a lot of activity in overseas investment by the East China Autonomous Government, especially in the minerals.

Recently, East China Mining has begun digging into its copper mine in Australia, and the mine has also begun to be mortgaged to banks in exchange for loans.

This copper mine brought a loan of 20 million US dollars to the East China Mining Company, and then the East China Mining Company borrowed from the bank with the iron ore of Theo, but the price given by the bank was too low, and the two sides did not negotiate in the end. The East China Mining Company, which got the loan, began to enclose land in Australia.

Most of the land purchased by the East China Mining Company has minerals, but people don't know the magic of East China Mining.

After the East China Mining Company bought the plots, it did not immediately explore these plots, but left them there and ignored them, and bought the land anyway, which is theoretically the East China Mining Company.

In the future, it doesn't matter if the Australian political axe dares to confiscate it, when they are beaten down, it will still be the East China Mining Company, which will not be able to escape.

…… In Hangzhou, East China Studio's "Bandit War" has already started filming, and Huasheng Film Company's romance film has soon entered the filming stage.

Only Zhongsheng Film Company's "Huo Yuanjia" went to Guangdong to shoot, and they have obtained the consent of Huo Yuanjia's land Liu Zhensheng, and Liu Zhensheng is willing to star in this movie. Huo Yuanjia's apprentice is actually only Liu Zhensheng, and the fifth apprentice Chen Zhen is actually a fictional character.

Xia Jun didn't care much about movies, because the third enrollment of East China University began.

The enrollment will run until September, and many students from other provinces will crowd the admissions office of East China University, which represents the highest university in the three autonomous provinces of East China.

It has first-class hardware and teaching, and a first-class style of study.

"Xin Chen, what college are you going to apply for?" A student from Tianjin University of Law and Political Science pulled this young man and asked, the young man was very handsome, only to see him reply: "I want to apply for the Army Academy." ”

"Huh...... Xun Chen, that's the Army Academy, and you're from the Law and Political Science Academy. The classmate smiled in surprise, and the student named Xin Chen didn't care, pointed to the recruitment advertisement on the billboard in the distance, and said: "The eldest husband should kill the enemy on the battlefield, and it doesn't matter if you don't study at the School of Law and Politics, and besides, there is no rule that if you study law and politics, you can't apply to the Army Academy." ”

"Next." At this time, the person at the registration office shouted.

"Xun Chen, it's your turn, go quickly."

"Okay."

Several East China University students at the registration office glanced at the young man who walked forward and asked, "Classmate, name." ”

"Zhang Zizhong." The student, Xin Chen, replied.

"Which college, which major?"

"Army Academy, Infantry Section."

………… Anhui, and county.

A fifteen-year-old boy came to the county seat alone with a broken umbrella and a package.

The teenager who came to the county seat was very happy, and asked people on the street where the military study class was, and under the guidance of passers-by, the boy found the military study class set up by Bai Wenwei's revolutionary army in He County.

Wei Lijiong, who was the head of the military study class in He County at the time, the young man came to the military study class excitedly, and when he saw Wei Lijiong, he called his eldest brother and pounced.

"Little brother, why are you here?" Wei Lijiong was taken aback.

"Big brother, I'm here to join the army."

"Nonsense, how did you join the army."

"Big brother, just accept me!" The boy pleaded, "I'm really here to join the army." ”

"Okay, okay, big brother will help you ask."

Wei Lijiong was helpless, so he had to take his younger brother to the recruitment office.

"What's your brother's name?" The recruiting officer asked.

"My name is Wei Lihuang." The boy replied aloud.

"It's so small." The people from the recruitment office looked at Wei Lihuang, then looked at it carefully, and said, "I still have scabies, how can I join the army like this?" ”

"I'm small and strong." Wei Lihuang said unadmittedly, and the people in the recruitment office laughed, but they still didn't allow him to join the army.

...... "Big brother. Wei Lihuang was very shocked, and after returning to Wei Lijiong's residence, he looked at his eldest brother Wei Lijiong very aggrieved.

Wei Lijiong felt a big headache and said to Wei Lihuang: "Little brother, you are too young, how can you be a soldier at such a young age." ”

"Am I going home, then? I don't want to go home. Wei Lihuang said.

"If you don't want to go home, big brother will give you two ways." Wei Lijiong thought for a long time, and said to Wei Lihuang: "First, if you stay here and stand guard for others, you can barely make ends meet." ”

"And the second?" Wei Lihuang asked wistfully.

"Second, the eldest brother will send you to study in the three provinces of East China." Wei Lijiong said.

"Going to study? Big brother, but there is no tuition in our family. Wei Lihuang hesitated, Wei Lijiong smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, now you don't have to pay tuition fees to study in the three provinces of East China, all the room and board are free, and you can get subsidies every month." Wei Lijiong then continued: "Big brother, I originally wanted to send you and your second and fourth brothers to the three provinces of East China Autonomous Region, but you kid ran over by himself. ”

"No tuition, no room and board? Can you still get a subsidy? It's not a lie, is it? Where in the world is there such a good thing. Wei Lihuang was skeptical.

The so-called abnormality must be a demon, which does make people suspicious at first glance.

"No, even the big families in Anhui have sent their children to the three autonomous provinces of East China, and it is estimated that among the provinces in the country, our students from Anhui and Jiangsu go the most." Wei Lijiong said.

Anhui and Jiangsu, these two provinces are the territory of Hui merchants, Anhui and Jiangsu belonged to the Jianghuai region during the Ming Dynasty, and later although they were divided into two provinces, the merchants of Anhui and Jiangsu can be called Hui merchants.

As a member of the Huizhou businessmen, Liu Jinshan brought more and more Huizhou businessmen to the three autonomous provinces of East China to do business after making a career in Fujian.

The Huishang Group is highly sensitive to the policy of the East China Autonomous Political Axe, and the East China Autonomous Political Axe introduced the subsidy policy, and the Huizhou businessmen began to work hard to publicize under the call of Liu Jinshan, and the children of those large families basically went to the three provinces of East China Autonomous Region, and these large families did not fancy the subsidies, but the prospect of sending their children to the three provinces of East China Autonomous Region to study.

"Little brother, are you going?"

"I'll go."

"Okay, tomorrow the eldest brother will contact you with a businessman who will go to Zhejiang."

…… The next day, Wei Lijiong contacted a group of caravans to Hangzhou, which had been selling refined salt to Hexian for a long time, as well as various other daily necessities, all of which were produced in the three provinces of East China.

There are already more than a dozen students in the caravan who are going to Hangzhou, and they follow the caravan to Hangzhou, the travel fee is free, and the food and drink caravan on the road is also covered.

Soon Wei Lihuang went on the road with the caravan, and he inquired on the way that it turned out that if he brought them to Hangzhou, the caravan could also get a sum of money, although the money was not too much, but it was also a good income for the caravan.

"You're really in good luck! Now I don't have to spend money to study, and when my husband was studying in a private school, he couldn't pay the tuition on time, but he didn't suffer from the white eyes of his husband. The footmen in the caravan sighed to Wei Lihuang and a group of students, "And you don't need to rely on any fame after reading the book, you can find a good errand right away." ”

Wei Lihuang listened to the information revealed by the businessman all the way, and then he knew the benefits of studying in the three autonomous provinces of East China.

When you go to the three provinces of East China, as long as you are literate and can read and write, you can find a good job in the training class for a while.

If you go to school to continue studying, it is even more amazing, you can become a teacher, you can be a civil servant, you can also learn a good technique, and the monthly salary is very high.

Soon, they entered Zhejiang from Changxing County, on the border of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and arrived at the checkpoint, where Wei Lihuang and the other students were taken to the health station.

At the health station, they were given several shots of vaccines, and the health station also gave Wei Lihuang an external ointment to apply to the area where he had scabies every day.

When he arrived in Hangzhou, Wei Lihuang was assigned to study in East China No. 35 High School, and Wei Lihuang felt like heaven when he first entered the school.

The school issued him three sets of school uniforms, two of which were casual clothes, long pants and short sleeves. There is also a set of Hanfu, and the teacher told him that Hanfu is worn on festivals or major celebrations and activities.

The food in the school is higher than Wei Lihuang imagined, and there is a large glass of milk in the morning, as well as two large eggs, as well as white porridge, rice, and steamed buns.

At noon, the meal was even more sumptuous, and there were five or six kinds of meat dishes in the cafeteria that could be freely chosen, and Wei Lihuang ate so much that he almost swallowed his tongue.

It's a paradise here!

In a social studies class, the teacher asked the students what their ideals were, and Wei Lihuang said that his ideal was to be an officer, but his classmates made fun of him, saying that he was so short that he could not become an officer.

The teacher encouraged him and said, "As long as you supplement protein every day and exercise more, you can grow taller, and Wei will definitely be able to achieve your dreams." ”

After listening to the teacher's encouragement, Wei Lihuang really insisted on exercising every day.
