Office of the Dean of Education. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Education grows good!" Summer salutes respectfully.

Admiral Zhang Zhizhong looked at Xia Chao, who was standing straight in front of him, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

In the summer, he is well-behaved, half of his ass sits down, and his upper body is straight.

Admiral Zhang admired the strict military style of the Xia Dynasty and asked, "Heavenly Empire, who else is in your family?" ”

Xia Chao replied: "My father is in business in Ningbo, my mother is in charge of housework, and my two elder brothers, one is the head of the 36th Division, the other is in business with my father, and the younger sister is studying at Ningbo Normal School. ”

Admiral Zhang nodded and asked, "Your father is doing business in Ningbo, and I have an acquaintance in Ningbo, President Xia Jinxian of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, I don't know if you know him?" ”

Xia Chao said: "It's my father." ”

Admiral Zhang was very happy and said, "It turns out that you are the child of the Canadian dollar (Xia Jinxian's character), which is great." Your father has been a good friend of mine for many years, and he has been of great help to me. Huh? Why didn't you tell me earlier, you kid? ”

Xia Chao said: "My father said, let me go to school well, I have to work my own, and don't make trouble for you." ”

Admiral Zhang laughed and said, "This old friend of mine has this temper. Well, that's good, you're very competitive, and you deserve to be a kid of the Canadian dollar. Good boy. ”

Admiral Zhang chatted with Xia Chao for a while, and said: "Cixiu (Chen Cheng's handwriting) told me, you want to surprise me, what is it?" ”

Xia Chao stood up and respectfully handed over a booklet.

General Zhang took it and looked at it, and the pamphlet read: "Syllabus of the Central Military Academy of the National Revolutionary Army." He didn't look at the content and asked, "Have you read this new syllabus?" ”

Xia Chao said: "Yes, it was given to him by his nephew Chen Shuming." ”

Admiral Zhang nodded and said, "If you can get the appreciation of the rhetoric, this outline must have its merits, and I will study it carefully." But before that, tell me why you wrote this new syllabus, and how is this new syllabus different from the syllabus that is being implemented now? ”

Admiral Zhang's seriousness and rigor have been revealed, and he will not easily give up a syllabus that has been used for many years and has been very successful in the past.

Xia Chao said: "Report to the chief of education. ”

Admiral Zhang interrupted him and said cordially: "Based on my relationship with your father, you can call me uncle in the future." ”

Xia Chao said gratefully, "Yes, Uncle Zhang." ”

At this time in the summer dynasty, Pi Lai's face was exposed, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, I fought for a long time, and I asked you to call you before I went back, can you give me some tea?" ”

Admiral Zhang laughed, he could see that he enjoyed this mood very much, he instructed the secretary to pour tea, and said: "The life of the military academy is a little harder, you, a rich young master, can persevere, and you have practiced such a kung fu, it's not easy." ”

Xia Chao smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhang for your concern, I'm quite suitable for life here now." ”

At this time, Admiral Zhang's secretary came over and handed him a teacup, and Xia Chao immediately stood up to express his gratitude. The summer dynasty knows the rules. General Zhang's secretary Liu Yuqing has the rank of colonel, and he doesn't dare to hold it up in front of others.

Xia Chao's performance made both Admiral Zhang and Secretary Liu very satisfied.

Xia Chao took a few sips of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Uncle Zhang, how do you think the tactical thinking and tactical training level of the Japanese army compare with that of the national army?" ”

As an educator, Admiral Zhang said that the international situation is so grim that he naturally has a good understanding of the strategy and tactics of the Japanese army. There is a big gap in both equipment and training. ”

Xia Chao said: "Uncle Zhang, do you think the Sino-Japanese War will break out?" If there is an outbreak, how big will it be? ”

Before the "77 Incident," the military and political leaders of the Nationalist Government did not have a clear understanding of the imminent outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war; they believed that the Soviet Red Army contained the Kwantung Army in the north, and that the United States, Britain, France, and other Western powers had tremendous interests in China, and that they would not stand idly by while their own interests were damaged, and that they did not have sufficient understanding of Japan's ambitions. They believed that even if a conflict broke out, the Japanese, under pressure from the international community, would not attack China in an all-out way. They pinned their hopes on the mediation of the international community and were not prepared for all-out war at all. The top level of the government has not formed a complete strategic thinking, let alone made corresponding preparations at the tactical level. Therefore, at the beginning of the war, it fell into a total passivity, and at the same time, even after the war had already begun, it still held the idea of relying on the Western columns to stop, which led to the total rout of the national army and heavy losses.

Xia Chao asked this question to know the real thoughts of the top brass of the national government.

Admiral Zhang thought for a while and said: "The danger of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese war is extremely great, and the Japanese army is advancing into North China, and there may be a conflict with the local garrison at any time. ”

When Xia Chao heard this, he was a little anxious, and he said: "Do you think the Japanese army will attack Nanjing?" ”

Admiral Zhang said: "Probably not, right? The Japanese advance in North China was only an attempt to force the government to make concessions and recognize their interests in North China. A full-scale war should not break out. ”

Xia Chao was very depressed in his heart, but he knew that with his current status, he would not be able to convince the high-level of the national army, and even the wise Uncle Zhang in front of him, he could not influence.

He said: "Uncle Zhang, you can read the syllabus I wrote when you have time, it's not too early, you should have had lunch a long time ago, and the little nephew will leave first." ”

Zhang Zhizhong nodded and said, "Okay, you're tired today, go back and have a good rest." ”

The army is the world of the strong, to put it simply: the one with a hard fist is the uncle.

Xia Chao's almost demonic performance became a superstar at the Central Military Academy. From Zhang Zhizhong's office to his return to the dormitory of the cadet team, all the people he met along the way looked at him attentively, and those who knew him stepped forward to express their admiration.

As soon as Xia Chao entered the courtyard, he saw a large group of people surrounding the courtyard, led by his friends Chen Shuming and Cui Xiaobao. When he saw the summer coming, he cheered and gathered around.

"Brother Tian."

Everyone looked at him with awe, even his two best friends.

Cui Xiaobao said: "Brother Tian, you are too powerful, I thought you were powerful before, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" ”

Chen Shuming said: "Brother Tian, you don't know, your last appearance is so handsome, it's just the god of war, tsk, very majestic." ”

The students of Class 7 all stepped forward to congratulate, and even He Jianbing complimented him a few words.

Afterwards, Xia Chao returned to the dormitory surrounded by students. The next thing is to be called by the squadron leader Fang Jiaming and praised again.

In the midst of praise and compliments, Xia Chao's mood was very bad.
