Harpy stood on the deck of the ship, looking out at the blue Mediterranean, the Mediterranean Sea in summer, in the heat, there was no lack of coolness, in his opinion, it was the best day of the year, he liked it very much, so whenever he had time, he would sit on the deck.

"Hello, Mr. Harpy!" A young student respectfully walked up to Harpy's side and saluted him.

He was surrounded by several students who were also young, and they were the best among the students, but after more than a month of intensive training, they had basically mastered the daily pronunciation rules of German, and the tone of speech was strange, and there were some grammatical errors, but they could still be understood. Unlike Yang Ming's boldness, the others just saluted the Harpy from a distance and did not come closer.

"Come out and see the sea again!" Harpy knows him, his name is Yang Ming, he is a descendant of the Yang family, not Yang Yue's, but it is a very close branch, his grandfather, and Yang Yue's grandfather, are Nagato's brothers, he is a little younger, but he is known for his intelligence in the clan, after knowing the status of German engineering in the world, he was the first to sign up, and even his father's grandfather's dissuasion could not change his will, and insisted on studying abroad.

This matter was not small, and later it almost reached the clan, and the well-informed Yang family patriarch finally made a decision and decided to let Yang Ming go abroad, and therefore, in one fell swoop, everyone was dispelled.

A few people next to Yang Ming are all young children, from the Wei family, the Yang family, the Liu family, and even the Wang family, just one or two months of intensive training, so that they stand out in the small group of 250 people, not only the results and evaluation are the highest, language, treatment of people, and even leadership ability are also highlighted, China's elite education, in this point, is undoubtedly shown.

From the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, here is already the hinterland of Europe, can not say that there are no pirates, but the danger of piracy, has been reduced to very low, along the way, you can see everywhere, is the warships of various countries, the strength of Europe, after hundreds of years of the age of navigation, shipping has been unusually developed, the Mediterranean sea is also very mature, in the early days of the Great Voyage, pirates all over the Mediterranean, can not be said to be cleared clean, but also called very few, safe and calm, let this way, Many Chinese students, who have always been forbidden to move on deck, can move on the deck during the day, for a limited time, but the area is limited to the center, sides and fore decks of the ship, and there are still soldiers on duty.

Hold back for almost a month, many students seem to be happy to come out, most of them left China, have never been a sea ship at all, the conditions here, than the ancestors across the ocean, when they were sold piglets, much stronger, but very much suffered, some of the weaker body, under the wind and waves, directly spit out, small room, can only be anchored or docked, with seawater to wash, when the first road, it can definitely be called a journey to hell, until a week or two later, Everyone slowly became familiar with the wind and waves on the sea, which was a little better, but after they arrived in the Mediterranean, they let them out, and they saw a completely different scenery from China.

Dense harbors, a large number of cargo ships, busy waterways, some ships are even in the place where the eye can see, slowly sailing at the same frequency, seagulls follow the boats, from time to time to fall, to catch small fish that are turned up by the wake current.

The ocean-going cargo ship continued to move forward, rowing out the surrounding water, looking at the blue water, Yang Ming's heart was full of imagination, as a lifetime, at most he had seen the Yellow River, and even the Yangtze River had not seen mainland children, the ocean, is something he had never imagined, or even touched, after the first time he got on the ship, he was dizzy, and it took 10 days to recover.

After gradually adapting to the ocean, Yang Ming actually found the desire in his heart, which is to fight the sea, fight with heaven and earth, and drive the strongest weapon in human history to confront this boundless sea, defeat it, and conquer it.

The moment the idea appeared, it was quickly nourished, turned into a seed, constantly sprouted, and became more and more powerful, especially when passing through the Suez Canal, on the other side of the canal, I saw two battleships belonging to the United Kingdom, which was only a former dreadnought class, and could no longer be called the most advanced battleship in Britain, which gave Yang Ming and many students a deep impression, the hideous hull, the huge heavy artillery, and the strong oppressive force in the cold.

In the past few decades, all kinds of changes in China have to do with the great powers, and how the great powers have intervened in China, with which they can travel thousands of miles and still have powerful offensive battleships.

Becoming a navy, galloping on battleships, and defending the country's maritime frontiers, these ideas that had nothing to do with him at all once came out vigorously, and even today, he has decided that after arriving in Germany, he must apply for majors related to ships and oceans.

Among the 250 people, he was the best group of 250 people, but he did not have the luxury of entering the naval academy, if there is a person on the ship who can decide, then this person must be the boss of the German and American foreign firm, Mr. Harpy.

Yang Ming has been waiting, he and a few friends came out on the deck to see the scenery, in order to meet Harpy, now that they have met, take an opportunity, Yang Ming said goodbye to his friends, took three steps and made two steps, came to Harpy who was looking on the deck, and said respectfully: "Mr. Harpy, I want to ask you for one thing!" ”

Yang Ming, who was carefully observing by Harpy, had been paying attention to this excellent young man, but he was slightly different from his impression, his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was afraid of something, and the corner of Harpy's mouth showed a faint smile and said, "What is it?" Xiao Yang? ”

"That's it, that's it!" Yang Ming stammered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, can I enter the Naval Academy!" ”

Naval School! Harpy looked at Yang Ming in a little surprise, this young man who was only 16 years old and looked a little thin in the eyes of Europeans, but he didn't know when his eyes were full of firmness, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

According to this discussion with Yang Yuanzhao, mainly engineering colleges, mostly focusing on application, the ship major can be on it, can not be on it, even if it can't be on, the development of Baotou is still based on the foundation of heavy industry, although shipping is an important link in the future world, but there is not much help to Baotou. Military academies, for the time being, not considered for the time being, China is not lacking in military experts, the war in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, has produced too many military experts, if you can make a choice among them, Yang Yuanzhao would rather choose a solid engineer, scientist, than a bloody general, with countless heads and results, dye his top red.

The war of attrition in the two world wars is becoming more and more obvious, and it is not even necessary to expect that China, which even imports bullets, will be able to accomplish reunification on its own.

"I'm afraid not!" Harpy pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said.

"Ahh Yang Ming's eyes were full of disappointment, and Harpy also felt a little heartache when he saw it, the naval academy, a certain amount of Chengdù, is also extremely difficult in Germany, the army still has a precedent for recruiting foreign students, the navy has almost none, even a few decades ago, the Qing government spent a lot of money to build the second ship of Dingzhen, and the final training work was held in the United Kingdom, and there were no personnel training in the German naval academy at all.

"Xiao Yang, you sue me, do you want to drive a ship, or do you want to drive a warship!"

Yang Ming hesitated for a long time, and said, "I like the feeling of galloping on the sea!" ”

"In this way, I promise you, if you have the opportunity, I will definitely recommend you to go to the naval school, and even if it doesn't work, I will help you find a ship school where you can learn to drive!" Harpy said softly.

"Really, thank you, Mr. Harpy!" Yang Ming was overjoyed, bowed to the harpy in a series of rows, walked backwards on one side, almost tripped over the messy reins on the deck, and then ran away in a puff of smoke.

Looking at Yang Ming who ran away, Harpy praised in his heart, it's good to be young, young people, full of longing for the world, full of vitality, just like the sun rising at seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
