West Point, outside the grand and solemn school gates.

A team came quickly, and this team was the team led by Li Zhen.

Nearly a month later, Li Zhen finally arrived at West Point.

When he was about to arrive at the school gate, Li Zhen asked the groom who was driving to stop, and then led a group of people to get out of the carriage and walk to the school gate on foot to show respect for the school. The eye-catching thing in this team was not Fang Su, who had a stunning appearance, nor the famous Li Zhen, but the soldiers of the 300 Sharp Knife Battalion who followed.

The soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion were all fierce and brave, and their heads were shiny and shiny, all of them were shining bald heads, so that they attracted countless eyes.

Huang Qiang waved his hand, and a soldier from the Sharp Knife Battalion ran to the school to spread the word.

Zuo Zongtang looked at the empty school gate, frowned and said, "President, I think the senior management of the West Point Military Academy must know that we are coming to visit. But now there is not a single figure of greeting people at the gate, could it be that they are going to give us a dismount? ”

Li Zhen said: "Whether it is the Longtan Tiger's Den or the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, you have to break through." ”

He paused for a moment, then smiled: "Then again, what is only in front of you is a school, is it more threatening than the enemy on the battlefield?" Don't have any burdens, go in and act on the opportunity. ”

Liu Jintang said: "In my opinion, it is most appropriate for us to rush in directly." ”

Zuo Zongtang glared at Liu Jintang and told this kid to shut up.

Soon, the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion came back, raised their hands and gave a military salute, saying, "President, the gatekeeper has gone to inform the principal of the school that he will come to meet us soon." ”

Li Zhen hummed and led people to move forward.

After coming to the school gate, the people guarding the door asked Li Zhen and his party to wait.

For this kind of treatment, the group of people who followed Li Zhen were full of anger. What is the reason why China's president has arrived, but he has to wait at the gate? But because Li Zhen ordered not to act rashly, everyone suppressed their anger. About three minutes later, an old man with gray hair and a tall middle-aged man walked out of the school gate.

These two men were Principal Richard Delafield, and later Colonel Grant, commander of the U.S. Federal Army. The two ** steps came, which made the people around Li Zhen stunned for a while, could it be that this person came to greet him?

Even Li Zhen was surprised.

I didn't expect the other party to be so streamlined, just two people.

But soon, Li Zhen regained his composure.

In a few moments, Drafield and Grant arrived at the gate. Delafeld's gaze fell on Li Zhen, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he said with a smile: "I have long heard that China's President Li Da is a talent, a handsome and dashing person. Not only that, President Lee commanded the army to win every battle, and he was an out-and-out victorious general. When I saw it today, it was really as good as its name. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Drafield said again: "Mrs. Zun has an elegant temperament, like a fairy among the gods, and she complements President Li well, she can be called a fairy couple!" ”

A speech, except for praise, is nonsense without nutrition.

Li Zhen nodded and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

A look of embarrassment flashed on Delafeld's face, and he stroked his forehead with his hand, and quickly explained: "President Li-forgive me, I don't have a good memory when I'm old. I was trying to introduce myself, but I forgot about it. My old immortal is the school's headmaster, Richard Delafield, and next to me is Mr. Ulysses Simpson-Grant, a colonel who graduated from the school. ”

"Ulysses Simpson Grant!"

"Graduated from West Point!"

Li Zhen's pupils shrank, and his gaze fell on Grant. Li Zhen knows a little about Colonel Grant, who made outstanding achievements during the Civil War. During the Civil War, Grant was Lincoln's main arm and played a significant role in quelling the Civil War. After the war, Grant was hailed as an American hero, but later did nothing politically.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Grant!" ”

"Hello, President Lee!"

Grant reached out and shook hands with Li Zhen to show his respect.

Immediately, Li Zhen shook hands with Drafield, and then Delafeld said: "The school is still in session, whether it is a student or a teacher, there are things, and it is easier for me, an old man, and Grant." If you are rude, please bear with President Lee. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and didn't care.

Delafeld smiled, "President Lee, please!" ”

After that, he took Li Zhen and others into the school.

At this time, the school bell rang for the end of class. After a short time, the students among the teachers of the school came out in groups, and one by one the teachers also walked out of the classroom with lesson plans and walked towards the office, and the whole school was full of vitality. It's just that there are not many students in the military academy, only a few hundred, which is adhering to the concept of noble essence and not expensive, so many places on the campus of Nuo University are empty.

Along the way, many students looked at the visitors in amazement.

Because, the students of the school did not get the news of Li Zhenlai, and they did not know that this was Li Zhen and his party. Drafield asked the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion to be placed, and then led Li Zhen and his party to the meeting room.

The guests and hosts were seated, and some leaders of the school also attended.

Li Zhen smiled and said slowly: "Mr. President, I led a team to visit West Point Military Academy this time to learn from your school. Private schools and colleges have long existed in China, but China does not have a school dedicated to military instruction such as the West Point Military Academy, and it lacks experience. In addition, there are no comprehensive universities such as Harvard University and Yale University, so please ask the president to give me advice. ”

Drafield nodded and said with a smile: "Lee-President is polite, you sat up from the most ordinary soldier in the army, rose through the ranks, and finally became the president of the whole country. You have been through countless wars, including fighting British and French armies on Chinese soil, fighting with Confederation armies in Taiwan, fighting against Tsarist Russia in Vladivostok in the North, and fighting in Vietnam. ”

"Every time you lead your army into battle, you win in the end."

"You have experienced a hundred battles and have rich combat experience, and when a military expert like you comes to visit the school, all the teachers and students of our school are excited and want to exchange ideas with you."

Delafeld smiled, "We're going to get a lot out of talking to you." ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said humbly: "Mr. Principal has an overreputation, winning a war is not the credit of one person, but the hard work of all the generals in the army. People can make progress because they are constantly learning and communicating, and I hope that this visit will be helpful to both sides. ”

Grant interjected: "It's rare for President Lee to come here, and the school is ready to exchange combat experience with ***." That's why we've prepared a match. ”

Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, and a haze flashed between his eyebrows.
