At the beginning of August 6931, the shooting drill code compiled by Liu Yi was reviewed and approved by the teaching group of the Central Military Academy, replacing the original drill code. In recognition of his merits, the Military Council promoted him to the rank of Army Major. General Weisel, the Prussian military adviser, sent a Mauser K98 sniper rifle equipped with an 18x scope from Prussia and personally gave it to him as a token of encouragement.

On September 18, the Rotten Snake army suddenly attacked the northeast of Yanlong, and Zhang Ziliang, the commander of the Northeast Garrison, retreated without a fight, giving up the huge territory to the people, causing an uproar among the people.

After the outbreak of the incident, Liu Yi immediately wrote "On the War of the Dragon and Snake", starting from the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, step by step between the Yanlong and the rotten snake, the inevitability of the outbreak of war. In particular, he pointed out that the Mukden Arsenal was the driving force behind the fall of the three eastern provinces, and that in order to divert international attention, the Rotten Snake would carry out a military operation against the coastal cities within half a year. He repeatedly stressed the importance of rectifying armaments, and suggested building an arsenal in Shuzhou and shifting the industrial focus inland to prepare for a long war of resistance!

After Liu Yi submitted this article to Zhang Taizong, the chief of education, he never got a reply, so he had no choice but to send a telegram to Liu Yuan and Zhao Wei, asking them to prepare a large amount of money as soon as possible, buy a large amount of land in Dukou City, Shuzhou, to build a factory, and move his family to Dukou City to live.

Soon after receiving the telegram, Liu Yuan mobilized all the funds and went to Shuzhou to develop under the protection of the Iron and Blood Gang, and did his best to reward his son.

At the end of 6931, Zhang Taizong, the chief of education, summoned Liu Yi, and the evil young man he looked down on before had now become a knowledgeable handsome man he cultivated.

"Boyan, do you know what relationship your father entrusted to let you enter the military academy?"

"I didn't know, my father didn't tell me because I was pressed for time and I didn't have time to ask."

"Well, I didn't let Brother Zhongshu tell you, for fear that you would be pampered and arrogant, and behave in the military academy. Your father searched for almost all the high-ranking officials, including me, in order to get you into the military academy.

If this is the case alone, I will not make an exception, this is because your Liu Yi's name is too loud, Kangzhou is a tyrant, and his name moves Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

"Uh,......, am I really that hateful?" (Jian Ming was stunned again, 'himself' was so powerful, and he couldn't help but touch his nose in embarrassment to make sure he was alive.) ）

"Hmph, if it weren't for Brother Zhongshu and finding Shi Tuzhi for you, I would definitely not let you enter the school! However, fortunately, I made an exception, I didn't expect that your kid is really a military genius, very good, you didn't live up to your father's hard work! ”

Liu Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted, it was really not easy to be praised by the education chief.

"Thank you for the praise of the education director, the students are ashamed!"

Zhang Taizong waved his hand: "Sit down, I came to you today to talk about the report you submitted." Boyan, do you really think that the rotten snake people will wreak havoc in coastal cities in the near future? ”

"Yes, since the fall of the Northeast, anti-snake sentiment has been high in the country, and the situation is chaotic. It is no exaggeration to say that now that the eyes of all countries are focused on Yanlong, not only the Qingtian government is under pressure, but I am afraid that the pressure of the rotten snake people is not small, and in order to divert their attention, they will inevitably provoke new disputes! Among the coastal cities in China, the most noteworthy is Huating City, I am afraid that the Songhu area will not be peaceful in the near future! ”

Zhang Taizong looked at Liu Yi in a daze, and was pleasantly surprised in his heart, thinking that this guy was just a hot-blooded young man, but he didn't want to be a pillar of talent.

"Boyan, I still underestimate your ability, you are amazing! Your analysis is good, I will report your analysis to the military department. ”

Zhang Taizong stood up and paced back and forth for a few steps, thinking about the situation between Yanlong and Rotten Snake, and there were too many questions to figure out.

"Boyan, you said that if this time it really starts in Huating City, will it turn into a full-scale war between dragons and snakes?"

"No, we're not ready now, the rotten snake also needs time to digest the three northeastern provinces, according to reliable sources, now the world's economic crisis, the rotten snake country has cut its military spending several times. For a long period of time, the Rotten Snake soldiers needed to retrieve the bullet casings during training in order to exchange them for ammunition supplies.

Now that the Rotten Snake Country has newly acquired the Northeast, their first task is to loot wealth to strengthen domestic finances, expand military resources, actively reorganize the army, and will not start a major war in a short time. Alas, the enemy is actively expanding its armaments, but what about us, the internal strife is not stopped, the foreign enemy is encroaching, and we want to be a great dragon, but we have been humiliated for decades, and the country has no heart for self-improvement, and there will be the disaster of the country's destruction, how can it not be lamented? ”

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this, Boyan, I heard that you have prepared a sniper team, how is the training?"

"According to the dean of education, a total of 20 students have been selected, and the training effect is not bad. The students have submitted the "Sniper Training and Tactics" to Major General Tang Yuqi, and I believe that the military and the commission will soon approve the implementation!

Sniper tactics flourished during the First World War, and after the end of the first phase, the first team focused on the development of aircraft and tanks, ignoring this tactic. However, the Rotten Snake Nation is different, they are located on an isolated island, and they are extremely poor in strategic materials, and they attach great importance to this tactic, and we must assemble our own snipers as soon as possible to match them. Otherwise, we can only defend the land with blood and defend our dignity with human lives, which is a sign of destruction of the country and the nation. ”

"Alas, the country is poor and the army is weak, so it is also a helpless move, Chairman Tianxingshi cooperated with Prussia to develop the new army, and when the new army is completed, our country will be mighty! Boyan, sit down and say, now it's just you and me, you can call me Uncle Shi, and with your evil nature, you don't need to be so serious. ”

"......, Chief of Education, I am now a soldier, and I am no longer evil."

"Okay, a marriage change will change your sex?"

"Alas, Uncle Shi, I don't bury people like you, and you also mention the sadness of your little nephew, which will make me very painful."

"Haha, I took the gift money last time, don't want me to give the gift money next time I get married."

"Alas, the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home! Uncle Shi, after a while, I want to go to Prussia for military exchanges, and General Weisel has already won it for me. ”

"Well, I also heard that you have a good relationship with General Weizel, I guess the Military Council agrees!"

The two chatted for a long time, Liu Yi said goodbye and left, walking on the empty campus, listening to the loud trumpet sound in the distance, he couldn't help but boil his blood, although the war was cruel, it was the best way for soldiers to prove themselves, what he had learned in his life, finally had a place to use, he secretly swore that he would take advantage of this battle to make a name for himself, get everything he wanted, and make Yanlong stand on top of the world!
