The next morning, Li Zhen got up, washed up, had breakfast, and came to school.

In the morning, the cadets at West Point have begun their morning exercises. As far as these cadets are concerned, after they enter the school, they no longer regard themselves as students who are studying, but as soldiers, who are trained and studied in the way of soldiers, and whose military discipline is rigorous and their work style is rigid, which is by no means comparable to that of ordinary school students.

After Li Zhenchen finished practicing, he turned around and walked back.

Huang Qiang ran over head-on, then saluted Li Zhen, and said respectfully: "President, President Lincoln of the United States has arrived at the school with someone and is in the school's living room, please come over immediately." ”

"Let's go!"

Li Zhen and Huang Qiang quickly returned to their residence.

Then, Li Zhen, Zuo Zongtang, Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng, Huang Qiang and others changed their outfits, put on regular clothes and left the residence. This time, Fang Su did not follow Li Zhen, but stayed in the room. When the group reached the door of the meeting room, they could already hear the sound of Principal Drafield and Grant talking.

Li Zhen stepped into the living room, and when he saw Lincoln, he smiled and said, "Mr. President! ”

Lincoln took the initiative to get up and welcomed Li Zhen to the hall and sat down.

As the guest and host took their seats, Lincoln said, "President Lee, I have heard from President Delafield and Colonel Grant about the confrontation between the two sides. I think it's a great way to communicate in a confrontational way, not only because it is very helpful for the students who participated, but also because it allows the students to experience the way the commanders of both sides fight. It can also increase the understanding of the strategies and tactics of both sides. ”

Li Zhen said: "Mr. President is reasonable, and I strongly agree with this approach. ”

Lincoln asked, "When does President Lee think the best time to hold it?" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and said loudly: "It's okay at any time, I have already arranged it yesterday and appointed the commanders of this confrontation, and they are ready for battle." ”

Grant raised his eyebrows and asked, "Doesn't President Lee personally command the match?" ”

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "President Lincoln came to West Point, could it be that President Lincoln is going to take over the command of this confrontation and replace Colonel Grant?" When I visited West Point, I was just the one who was in charge of leading the way, cheering them on and adjusting them to life in the United States. As for the rest, there is a special person in charge. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "I will introduce you to the commanders of this competition." He pointed at Liu Jintang and said with a smile: "This is the brigade commander Liu Jintang, the commander of this confrontation." ”

Liu Jintang got up and faced Grant and said, "Colonel Grant, please advise!" ”

Grant smiled and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”

He suddenly felt that Liu Jintang's attention was not enough, because this young man who looked less than 20 years old turned out to be the commander of a brigade in Li Zhen's army, which was a general who led 3,000 soldiers. Further up, it is to lead the strength of a division. Such a brigade commander is placed anywhere, and there is already a basis for dominating one side.

Besides, Liu Jintang's age is so young, it's not simple!

Li Zhen didn't care about the surprised expressions of Grant and the others, he pointed at Chen Yucheng again, and said with a smile: "This is the brigade commander Chen Yucheng who has just taken office!" He was Liu Jintang's deputy and served as the deputy commander. ”

Chen Yucheng stood up and respectfully gave a military salute to Grant.

Grant returned the salute, and then Chen Yucheng sat down.

Li Zhen introduced Rong Hong again, and then said: "This time I sent only the three of them, and no one on my side will participate or interfere." Believe that they will give me the best result. ”

When Grant heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.

He looked at Li Zhen, and there was a hint of helplessness.

He is already forty-two years old, and the commander of the other party is only in his early twenties, even if he holds an important position, he is still a young man! If Grant personally commands the game, he is suspected of bullying the small, and even if he wins, he will be blamed. Grant thought about it carefully and said, "President Lee, they're too young, let's replace them." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to Delarena and Lincoln with his eyes.

Obviously, it was for the two of them to persuade Li Zhen.

Drafield was not ambiguous, and immediately said: "President Lee, I also think that your arrangement is a bit hasty. Brigade Commander Liu and Brigade Commander Chen both came to West Point with you to study, and according to their age, they should still study at the school, or have just graduated. In my opinion, let the generals under your command take command, or you can let the rest of the people take command! ”

Lincoln nodded, and then persuaded: "In this competition, the students participating in the competition are the most elite young people in the United States. I have reason to believe that in the future, countless generals will be born among the students. President Li was asked to go all out and send the most elite people to command, so that the trainees could open their eyes and see the strength of the Chinese soldiers. ”

Liu Jintang sneered, his eyes became sharp, and he looked unruly.

The other party looks down on him, and he doesn't look down on these Yankees?

Li Zhen smiled and explained unhurriedly: "Mr. President, Your Excellency the President, Mr. Colonel, I can tell you very responsibly. The commanders I sent were the most elite. According to the qualifications of Brigade Commander Liu Jintang, he enlisted in the army at the age of 12 and became the youngest soldier in the army. In the past six years, I have been constantly improving myself to become what I am today. ”

Li Zhen asked rhetorically: "You say, is Brigade Commander Liu a person with little experience?" Moreover, the Battle of Vladivostok and the Battle of Vietnam both had the figure of Brigade Commander Liu, who had experienced many wars and had quite rich experience. As the commander of the army, he is fully competent. ”

Lincoln, Grant, and Delarena exclaimed.

Enlisted in the army at the age of twelve, what is this concept?

For a while, when they looked at Liu Jintang, their eyes showed admiration, and they even felt that this young man was a little monster, looking harmless to humans and animals, but they didn't expect it to be hidden so deeply.

Li Zhen smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Yucheng, and continued: "Brigade Commander Chen Yucheng has been in the army for a longer time, he joined the army at the age of thirteen, and it has been more than ten years since then. His experience is even more peculiar, he has experienced countless battles, and he is an experienced general. ”

"Shhh Hiss!!! ”

Grant gasped a few times, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

I thought that the other party was a little doll.

Now it seems that these two little dolls are extremely experienced people, not inferior to him, a colonel in his forties. At this time, whether it was Grant, Lincoln, or Delfield, the principal of West Point, they all showed horror when they looked at Li Zhen. Because the people brought out by Li Zhen are too terrifying, they are all such powerful people.

Wouldn't the rest of the commanders stay in the army longer? Because of this thought, when they looked at Zeng Guofan and Huang Qiang, they were all in awe.

They all thought it was someone who had been a soldier for decades.

Li Zhen didn't expect this result, and he couldn't guess that the other party would have the idea that Zeng Guofan and Huang Qiang would join the army for decades.
