Chapter Seventy-Two: The Naval Elite
Eight years ago, Ito was ordered to come to the Royal Naval College in the United Kingdom to study and exchange.
This academy has produced a number of high-ranking naval generals such as Heihachiro Togo, and Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito has also studied here.
At that time, a group of senior admirals of China's Beiyang Naval Division, Liu Buyun and others used to study in this academy.
Ito Xiangshan recalled the scene when he first met Chen Fangzheng.
When students from Asia, the Americas and other countries were placed in a dormitory, while students from the United Kingdom were placed in separate dormitories.
At that time, Chen Fangzheng's academic performance was particularly excellent, and he achieved A in all tests. The students from Western countries thought that Chen Fang was Japanese.
Because, the just-concluded Sino-Japanese naval battle made the Japanese navy the most powerful navy in the world. Therefore, in their opinion, such an excellent student must have come from the rising Japanese Empire.
However, Chen Fangzheng insisted that he was from China. When those students learned about Chen Fangzheng's nationality, they looked at Chen Fangzheng with disdain.
An American student named Robert was newly transferred to the class. When he learned that Chen Fangzheng was from China, he came to him disdainfully and said: "Chen, you are a descendant of a high-ranking Chinese official, and it is simply a waste of time for you to study at this academy that trains outstanding naval officers." No matter how well you learn, you alone will not be able to change the inferior nature of your nation, and a country as big as yours has lost to Japan, which cannot compare with you in terms of territory and resources. You know why? For your nation is a sick man! Coward! Again, go home, there's no point in wasting time here. ”
Chen Fangzheng ignored Robert, such insults and provocations did not make him emotional and angry.
The students who entered the school with Chen Fangzheng all knew that Chen Fangzheng was a fighting master. But why didn't he react?
Because, they had seen in the fighting class, Chen Fangzheng's Chinese kung fu was really chic, five or six well-trained soldiers were not his opponents, and Chen Fangzheng was still the fighting champion among their naval cadets.
Robert looked at the thin and tall Chen Fangzheng and ignored him, thinking that Chen Fangzheng was frightened by his strong figure, so he said even more arrogantly: "You see that you don't have the temperament of a soldier at all, I say this, you don't react, it can be seen how pitiful you Chinese are, and you are so weak in the face of provocation." Coward! ”
Chen Fangzheng slowly raised his head, glanced at Robert lightly, and said, "What do you think I should do so that you can shut up in front of me?" ”
"You don't have the courage to be challenged, you don't deserve to be a soldier at all!"
"You mean you're challenging me, aren't you?"
"Yes, the soldier has to accept the challenge bravely, but you don't react like this, aren't you a coward, then what are you?"
Chen Fangzheng tidied up his naval uniform and said lightly: "Could it be that the dignity of a soldier is put on his lips?" Are people like you who use language to attack others, as well as other people's countries and peoples, real soldiers? Do you know that your arrogance, that only shows that you are shallow and uneducated! Since you have challenged me, then I will accept your challenge, and today, I will teach you a good lesson for this uneducated guy! Don't talk about some irrelevant nonsense, come on, how do you need to compete! ”
Robert looked at Chen Fangzheng and sneered: "Of course, soldiers have to fight hard, and then, strategy and tactics." ”
"Okay, I'll compare with you and tell you, what is the elite of the real soldiers!"
The quarrel between Chen Fangzheng and Robert attracted many onlookers, and for a while, the training ground of the naval academy was full of students watching the excitement.
The tall and strong Robert looked at Chen Fangzheng contemptuously, put on a Western boxing posture, and danced with flexible steps, it was obvious that this was a professional-level boxing master. Earlier this year, Robert had just competed in the National Youth Boxing Professional Championship, where he won the championship.
Chen Fangzheng set up the Chinese kung fu tai chi boxing style, and a competition between Western boxing and Tai Chi immediately boiled over the training ground of the Royal Naval College in the United Kingdom.
Robert was even more excited, and shouted: "China Chen, pay attention, I'm starting to attack, if you can't do it, just admit defeat, don't hold on, my iron fist is extremely powerful!" Straight punch! ”
Robert suddenly hit Chen Fangzheng's face with a close-range straight punch, Chen Fangzheng slid his footsteps, a light cloud hand, Robert's fierce straight fist gently pushed away, just at the moment of opening Robert's right straight fist, Chen Fangzheng's cloud hand suddenly changed into a palm, grabbed Robert's arm like lightning, and pulled along the direction of Robert's straight fist, Robert lost his center of gravity and staggered, falling heavily to the ground. The onlookers burst into laughter.
Robert fell to the ground, not knowing how Chen Fangzheng had knocked him down just now. He looked up at Chen Fangzheng, jumped up unconvinced, and said, "Come again!" With that, Robert threw a tough combination punch.
However, Chen Fangzheng was as soft as a piece of air, and Robert's every punch used up all his strength, but he couldn't touch Chen Fangzheng's body, and the more he fought, the more tired he became.
Just when Robert's stormy combination punch hit Chen Fangzheng, I saw that Chen Fangzheng jumped behind Robert like lightning, and with a push palm, Robert fell to the ground again.
This time, Robert didn't get up, pointed at Chen Fangzheng and said, "Chen, what kind of spell did you use despicably to knock me to the ground." You're a coward and don't dare fight me head-on. ”
You must know that Chen Fangzheng has received the true transmission of Chen-style Taiji, and has been practicing Taijiquan with his father since he was four years old.
Chen Fangzheng held his hands in his arms and said with a faint smile: "Get up, big man's radish, let me tell you, why do you always fall to the ground, why are you vulnerable!" With that, he stretched out his hand and lifted Roberto up.
"Let me tell you, Robert, I used Chinese kung fu, tai chi, when I fought you just now. When Taijiquan pays attention to it, it is the theoretical principle of using force to make force, and dialing thousands of catties in four or two. When fighting the opponent, instead of pursuing a hard encounter, the opponent's strength is unloaded first, and at the same time, the opponent's strength is used to complete the purpose of attacking the opponent. ”
"Borrowing strength, four or two thousand pounds?" Robert muttered puzzled.
"The military tactics we are studying should also follow this principle. So, you ask me what is the temperament of a soldier? Let me tell you, a good soldier, a good commander, not depends on how brave you are, but on the strategy of war.
In a war, only those who can win the war at the lowest cost can be called the best commander. If a professional soldier has already been martyred in the first place of the battle, then what else do professional soldiers do!
This is especially true of a good commander, who is responsible not only for the outcome of the war, but also for yourself and the lives of your soldiers!
In addition, I would like to tell you that a warrior, a true military man, should respect your opponent as well as his country and nation! This is the quality that an excellent professional soldier should have!
With your current behavior and cultivation, if you want to become an elite in the navy, you still need to study hard! ”
