At the foot of Wuchang Snake Mountain, the military flag hunting, applause, a graduation ceremony is being held here.

This is the Republican Army Revolutionary Cadre Training School, and its official name is "Wuchang Military and Political College." "This grand graduation ceremony was held in the college's cāo field.

A total of 500 students graduated this time. According to the original Peiwu plan, the semester of the senior class students should reach half a year, but now because of the needs of the revolutionary situation, this batch of students graduated ahead of schedule, and after receiving their graduation certificates, they will be regarded as official cadres of the republican army, according to their specialties and wishes, the army will assign them to suitable posts, some will serve as officers in the army, and some will serve as grassroots cadres in the department.

Since this is the first batch of graduates of the Military and Political Academy. The military zhèngfǔ side attaches great importance to this graduation ceremony. Not only senior military and political officials were present to cheer up. Even Zhao Bei, the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, took time out of his busy schedule to attend the graduation ceremony and personally presented graduation certificates to the graduating students.

"Qin Fangzheng!"

"Here!"

"Zhu Guochang!"

"Here!"

"Tian Miao!"

"Here!"

"Zheng Suo!"

"Here!"

"Ouyang Nanhua!"

"Here!"

The adjutant stood on the podium, holding the list of graduates and reading the names aloud, and someone answered every shout, and then the named graduates rushed to the podium, bowed to the commander-in-chief who stood upright, and then took a few steps forward, took a gilded diploma from the commander-in-chief's hand, shook hands with the commander-in-chief, and then ran down the podium, and returned to his seat to sit upright.

All the students present, whether they have graduated or not yet graduated, are uniformly dressed in student uniforms, and male students are all dressed in suit shorts, short-sleeved shirts, and cut "board inch heads." As for the female students, they wore long-sleeved shirts, knee-length skirts, most of them wore ponytails, and a few had short ear-length hair, leading the dress style of this era.

As for the commander-in-chief on the podium, he was still in a straight military uniform, with shiny riding boots and a smile on his face.

Can you not smile? Now, once these 500 cadres and cadets graduate, the grass-roots power organs of the military will become more efficient, and the will of the commander-in-chief will be further vigorously implemented. ―The first full-text version of the novel―These cadres mean that the tacit cooperation between the two sides can bring hope to China in this era and bring this dying nation on the road to rejuvenation.

What's more, there are many historical celebrities among these graduates, many of whom are thunderous names, who come from different provinces, but all have a respectful heart of strengthening the country and enriching the people. If Zhao Bei hadn't crossed over, they might not be able to appear on the stage of history more than ten years later. The big era swayed green chūn and blood, but now, with Zhao Bei's crossing, they can finally appear in advance, although some people are very young, but Zhao Bei believes that as long as they are given a stage, they can write their own poems, maybe not as brilliant as the original historical track, but at least they can give full play to their intelligence and enthusiasm.

"The two in Sichuan can go to the army for exercise, as for the two in Hunan, the Political Propaganda Commission should be their stage, and the one in Shaanxi is both civil and military. Whether he goes to the army or the grassroots depends on his own wishes. As for Anhui, it is very economical. It seems that it is possible to go to the industrial and commercial sectors. ”

Zhao Bei smiled and handed out graduation certificates to the students, while pondering the work arrangements for those historical celebrities, a kind of pride in guiding the country and swallowing the world stirred Jiang in his chest.

What is now Wuhan is the holy land of the revolution. Here, not only can you hear the dialects of all parts of the country, but you can also learn all kinds of new cultures, military and political academies, republican universities, these colleges and universities generally attract intellectual youth from all provinces of the country, who come not only for the "revolutionary holy land", but also for the self-improvement of the republican army.

What is "the world is in the heart"? That's it.

However, no matter how the world returns, after the more than 500 graduation certificates are issued, Zhao Bei's arms are also stiff. And because he kept talking to the excited graduates, his voice became hoarse. However, this graduation speech is still indispensable.

As at the opening ceremony of the Cadre Training School, the commander-in-chief still made an in-depth and thorough analysis of the general situation in the world and the situation in China. Then the conversation changed and talked about the coup d'état that took place in Hunan and Guizhou a few years ago.

"The Junxian faction in Hunan and Guizhou rampantly attacked the army and betrayed the revolution, thinking that with a few old foreign guns and a few old foreign cannons, they could prey on the common people and run rampant in the countryside. They're delusional! Without the succession of our revolutionaries, there would have been no fall of the Manchu Dynasty, and if the Manchu Dynasty had not been destroyed, where would there be a position for the monarchy? The coup d'état of the monarchists was a shameless betrayal of the revolutionary camp. It is also a shameless betrayal of the entire nation! For their treachery, the whole nation must unite and face it head-on! As the vanguard of the revolution and the defenders of the Constitution, all the officers and men of the Republican Army have been waiting for the enemy, vowing to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop and vowed to seek justice for the revolutionary comrades who sacrificed their lives! ”

Zhao Bei stood on the stage of the ceremony, spoke endlessly for half an hour, and finally took the lead in singing a "graduation song" composed by him, and all the teachers and students, military and military officials in the audience stood up. Singing with the commander-in-chief the strongest note of the era.

Amid the singing, the graduation ceremony was officially announced. All the graduates immediately packed their bags. After lunch, they will leave the academy and rush to their respective posts to begin writing their own poems of the times.

The graduation banquet was very rich, as a guest, Zhao Bei was also invited to participate in the luncheon, invited those historical celebrities to sit beside him, and toasted everyone a few glasses, and the amount of wine was not very good. And so it goes. When the feast ends today. Zhao Egg was carried into the car by Tian Jinfu, the captain of the guard.

The commander-in-chief rarely got drunk and returned to the army, and he was considerate of this, and after helping him back to the dormitory of the general headquarters, he fell asleep with his head upside down, and no one bothered him, and all the officers of the staff department went to the headquarters to sit down, so as not to delay the important military situation.

Fortunately, there were not a few urgent telegrams during the afternoon, so the drunkenness of the commander-in-chief did not cause much confusion, and it was not until late evening that the commander-in-chief sobered up.

"Yiren, take a towel and dip it in the well water. Let me wipe my face. ”

Zhao Bei sat up from the cool bed, and was about to stand up, but as soon as the net stood up, he realized that his head was still groggy, so he sat back and yelled twice at the door.

Tian Jinfu brought a basin of cold water into the house, Zhao Bei rubbed his face with a towel, and finally sobered up Concubine Xu.

"No urgent business in the afternoon? Did the 5th Division's march go well? Zhao Bei asked.

"The Fifth Division's march has been smooth, it has joined forces with the Hunan Yīn troops, and is advancing by land and water, and it is expected to arrive on the outskirts of Changsha by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Other military affairs. The chief of staff of the blue staff who should be dealt with has already been dealt with, and the abridgements and briefings have also been sent, so please take a look at the commander. ”

Tian Jinfu took the abridgement and briefing to Zhao Bei, lit a lantern, remembered something, and said: "In the afternoon, the group of people from the flight team came to send war letters again, asking the commander to approve them to go to the Hunan front, or send them to Guizhou, but when they saw that the commander was drunk, they didn't dare to make trouble, and left a war letter and went back to the base, then Meng Fei also left a sentence, saying that if the commander-in-chief did not agree to their request for war, they would boycott." ”

"Strike? Aren't they afraid that I'll expel them? ”

Zhao Bei opened the briefing and snorted without raising his head, but heard Tian Jinfu laugh twice "hehe".

"Hey, hey. Commander, that kid Meng Fei had expected you to say that, so ah, he went on to say that if you expel these flight cadets who are on strike, then they will go to Hunan and Guizhou on their own, learn from special combat regiments, and go behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas and pull rods. ”

Zhao Beiqi said: "This kid is very arrogant. It must be Feng Ziru. By the way, today rì please fight, Feng Ziru didn't come in person? ”

"He? That Captain Feng is busy building planes now, where is the time to take Meng Fei and them to mess around? I heard that they have now built two small planes out of wood and canvas, but the engines are not easy to solve. Captain Feng planned to dismantle the two American cars of the flying team, but was unanimously opposed by all the students. Therefore, now he is busy negotiating with foreign businessmen in the concession to discuss the purchase of Wu American gasoline engines. ”

At this point, Tian Jinfu took out a letter from the pocket of his military uniform and handed it to Zhao Bei.

"Commander, when you went to bed drunk in the afternoon. Yang Du has arrived in Wuhan, and he wants to see him with your business card, but I told him to go back to the inn and wait first. Before leaving, he left a letter asking me to hand it over to you. ”

"Oh? When did Yang Du leave Sichuan? He, the "Sichuan Propaganda Envoy", didn't he do it well? ”

Zhao Bei put down the briefing, took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and sneered.

"The biggest problem with this Yang Zhezi is self-righteousness, as if he is the only one who understands in the world, everyone else is a fool, does he really think that the coup d'état in Hunan and Guizhou is a simple local incident, or is he deliberately pretending to be confused? He. regards Yuan Shikai as the hero, but what does Yuan Shikai regard him? If only Yuan Shikai could listen to a scholar. He is not Yuan Shikai, this era, in the final analysis, is the era of soldiers! ”

Hearing the commander-in-chief's last sigh, Tian Jinfu straightened his waist and said: "Commander, Yang Du is just a powerless scholar, he runs around like this all day long, and he is not afraid of being kidnapped by bandits. It's so hard, but I don't know what he's trying to get? ”

"Yiren, many scholars have their own ideals, and Yang Du also has ideals, regardless of whether his ideals are right or wrong, at least he has worked hard for his ideals.

Zhao Bei sighed and put the letter on the cool bed. Standing up, he walked to the door with his hands behind his back and looked at the dark night sky.

"I also have an ideal, this ideal is to change the status quo of poverty and backwardness in China, but the realization of this small ideal is not easy, I can't rely on my own strength, only the joint efforts of all the people, all the soldiers, this ideal can be realized. The country can rise. ”

Tian Jinfu walked to Zhao Bei's side and said, "Commander, all the officers and soldiers of our Republican Army listen to you, and we will do what you say." If you say that you will fight the monarchy, we will fight the monarchy. If you say that you will fight the Beiyang Army, we will fight the Beiyang Army. As for Yang Du, let's ignore it. Anyway, a scholar may not be able to distinguish even grains. ”

"Scholars are also useful, the key is what kind of scholars, what our country needs is modern scholars, not those nerds who hold on to their inadequacies. Yang Du's side, let's not care about him for now, we have more important things to do now, and if we win Hunan and Guizhou, we will have full confidence to argue with Beiyang Group. ”

Zhao Bei straightened his military uniform and stepped out of the door.

"Yiren, gather the guards, let's go to the flight base now, and see the group of flight cadets who are going to fight guerrillas behind enemy lines. Since they are eager to fight, I, as the commander-in-chief, can't let them look at the blue sky and sigh, the first batch of flight cadets of the flight team has all graduated, and they can take advantage of this battle to exercise their combat skills, but they don't go to Hunan and Guizhou, they should go to Henan, where they can use their force. As the commander-in-chief of the Rebel Army, it's time for me to issue a formal crusade. ”
