Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Competition of Young People
"This time I won!" Lu Zhiyuan, who was dressed in a straight military uniform, came to Zhang Cheng's side, raised his chin, with a touch of smugness that could not be concealed in his demeanor, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, and announced his victory to Zhang Cheng, who was sleeping on the table.
"Huh?" Zhang Cheng, who was woken up, looked up at this army elite in a daze, completely unaware of what he was talking about just now.
looked at Zhang Cheng with sleepy eyes. Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. I thought to myself, "This guy, he doesn't seem to care at all." Am I overthinking myself? Zhang Cheng's performance suddenly made the sense of accomplishment in Major Lu Zhiyuan's heart a lot less.
"Huh~~~" Major Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, squinted his eyes and stared at Zhang Cheng, who had just woken up, and said in a deep voice, "I mean, this time I am the first in the strategy of war chess deduction." ”
"Oh." Zhang Cheng, who had just been woken up from a nap, squinted his eyes, opened his mouth, yawned, rubbed his hair, and nodded, "Congratulations." ”
Major Lu Zhiyuan looked at Zhang Cheng with an unhappy expression, he didn't understand whether Zhang Cheng was pretending to be or not taking himself seriously at all. You don't care at all? ”
"What do you care about?" Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Zhiyuan in surprise, he really didn't know the situation. It's the same as a semester exam, if you take the first place, you can get the first, what does it have to do with me?
"Let me explain." Lieutenant Colonel Jun Mo, who had been listening to the side, leaned over and said with a smile, "Zhang Cheng, you are a high-profile army hopeful star." And Major Lu Zhiyuan is the same pride of the sky, and he treats you as a competitor. This time, I won the first place in the strategy, and I came to you to show off. ”
"Hahaha~~~" The students around the same period all laughed. Zhang Cheng was really sitting in the penultimate position in the row by the window. He was surrounded by people at some point.
Zhang Cheng has been busy arranging the production of orders for the Navy's new fighter planes every night, and at the same time, he has to constantly study the stock market in Songjiang Prefecture. During the day, it was difficult to get up and study hard, and he didn't care about studying during this time anyway. For him, it's just a formality.
Although the results of this strategy are average, it is already a very remarkable achievement for Zhang Cheng. You must know that he is not from a regular military academy. Zhang Cheng really hates this kind of thing that has a fixed answer and relies entirely on rote memorization!
Major Lu Zhiyuan's face turned red, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly and stared at Zhang Cheng.
He didn't expect that he valued it so much, and he didn't care about the results of the hard test in the classroom and the library day and night, in Zhang Cheng's eyes?
Zhang Cheng's attitude took a big blow to Major Lu Zhiyuan's self-esteem. After all, he is still young, where can he compare to the slippery old fritters around him? Only a young man like Zhang Cheng from modern time and space can easily see through many things. After all, I have lived in the modern time and space of the information explosion for more than 20 years, and as long as I am not stupid, what kind of person has been honed.
"Take such good grades home and show them to your father, maybe you can get some more pocket money." There was a guy who was not afraid of stirring up trouble on the side who made sarcastic remarks, and he immediately got a round of applause. The voices and those who echoed were all disgruntled guys.
Major Lu Zhiyuan thinks that he studies hard and competes to prove that he is better than Zhang Cheng. But other students don't think so.
Originally, there was such a demon as Zhang Cheng in this year's advanced training class, even if there was a demon, after all, he was really calling for wind and rain on the battlefield in Northern Italy. The limelight of this session was stolen by Zhang Cheng, and he could only admit it. But Major Lu Zhiyuan, such a hairy young man, also wants to come forward, and he still doesn't let people live? Good grades will naturally lead to jealousy, which is a natural thing.
Who can come to this refresher class without any background? Even if Major Lu Zhiyuan's father had been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Army, no one would really be afraid. After all, the cause of this incident is Zhang Cheng, as long as Lu Zhiyuan targets Zhang Cheng, it is natural that someone will carry the black pot.
In mid-November, the Ming Army's high-level command organization underwent a large-scale reshuffle. The commander-in-chief of the army, who was already over seventy, officially retired with the rank of marshal, and the chief of staff of the army, General Yang Zhuo, was promoted to field marshal and became the new commander of the army.
Major Lu Zhiyuan's father was promoted from Deputy Chief of General Staff to Chief of Staff of the Army. Lieutenant General Shi Qin, the former director of education of the Army, concurrently served as the Minister of Army Armament.
This series of large-scale changes to the Army by Lord Shousuke also means the beginning of a large-scale transformation of the Army. The only person in this world who can attack the huge army is Shousuke-sama.
Compared to the Navy, which has always been exposed to cutting-edge technology, the Army has been conservative for many years, and there are countless bad habits of all kinds.
Over the years, the major forces have desperately reached out to the army, and many things have been mixed up. The former commander of the army was pushed up by Lord Shousuke. He himself doesn't have any extraordinary abilities, but he is a man of good will. Over the years, he has done his best to maintain the integrity of the army, and he has made great contributions.
But times are different now. When the sharp-eyed Shousuke-sama sensed the imminence of war. He immediately understood that the army, which is now extremely conservative and has great entanglements in the interests of various forces, is very likely to make the Ming lose this war if it does not reform!
It's as if the tanks that shone in the battle for Northern Italy are now being pursued all over the world. Almost all industrialized countries are investing heavily in R&D and upgrading in preparation for a new era of warfare. However, the Ming Army, which suffered a big loss in the hands of this new weapon, did not take it seriously at all, and even bothered to do basic investigations. This is no longer incompetent to explain, this is a crime!
The Ming Army's inaction-oriented behavior completely disappointed Lord Shousuke. Although he knew that the Ming Army was not doing well recently, he didn't expect it to become like this. How could it be possible to win the coming brutal war with such a dull army?
Shousuke-sama, who had always been resolute in his work, quickly made up his mind to revolutionize the Army. The first thing to do was a large-scale reorganization of the top of the army.
Under the orders of Lord Shousuke, a large number of veterans who were over sixty years old and still occupied important positions in various places were sent out of active duty. Their war mentality is still stuck in the United States. Established during the war. If they continue to be kept, there may be a matter of cavalry brandishing sabers to storm the armored clusters.
At this time, the Ming army was still packed, and the army had a large number of horses. The annual consumption of rations is even more than the food of an entire army. It's the industrial age.
When this group of veterans with cavalry charge and infantry trench thinking in their minds were all sent home to play chess. The young reformers in the Army ushered in the spring.
Zhang Cheng is certainly not a fool, and he can naturally understand the thoughts of these ill-intentioned classmates.
He smiled at the corners of his mouth, stood up and straightened his military uniform. Raising his eyes to Major Lu Zhiyuan, he smiled and said, "Others don't know, but I know very well." Your attitude towards learning and perseverance are definitely worthy of the title of the elite of the army. If you have the opportunity to go to war in the future, you must be an excellent front-line commander. As for those guys who pretend to be serious people all day long, and run out at night to spend all day drinking, it is simply a shame for the army, I really don't know how much money these people spent to get here and become classmates with elites like us. This is the greatest humiliation for us. ”
Zhang Cheng's words were a bit vicious, and even reached the level of personal attacks. However, Zhang Cheng looked down on those who took their military career for granted. Officials like people who go to business. Being classmates with these people is indeed an insult to oneself.
"Poof." Lieutenant Colonel Jun Mo, who nodded slightly, couldn't help laughing.
There are indeed many people in the army who go through the door and find connections to climb up. That's because the Army hasn't experienced a major war for many years, and this kind of thing is inevitable after a long time. Originally, everyone turned a blind eye and thought they couldn't see it, but today Zhang Cheng directly stabbed it in front of others.
Similarly, Zhang Cheng can't be blamed for this. Those guys who are good at being officials are mocking and jealous of Major Lu Zhiyuan, and at the same time, they are thinking of pulling Zhang Cheng over to carry the black pot for them. Where can such good things be found? It's no wonder that Zhang Cheng humiliated them with disdain.
If Zhang Cheng swallowed his anger this time, it passed. In the future, he will be regarded as either a fool or a coward. There is little chance of mixing in the army again.
For Major Lu Zhiyuan, he didn't think about being the commander-in-chief of the army at all. Young and vigorous, Major Lu Zhiyuan, who was born in a military family, wanted to prove himself more. And Zhang Cheng is an excellent target for him.
The heart of the road is also very clear. Although he won the first place in his strategy, he was not comparable to Zhang Cheng, who personally commanded a large-scale battle and won a complete victory. Now that he has been praised by Zhang Cheng personally, Major Lu Zhiyuan feels that his mood has suddenly improved. A lot of the time in the military is very realistic.
Major Lu Zhiyuan was in a good mood, and the other sneering students quit. Chinese people have always paid attention to face, especially those who have some status. Now that Zhang Cheng is humiliated in front of him like this, no one wants to.
"Shut up!" Just when these people rolled up their sleeves and were about to scold, Zhang Cheng's face suddenly turned cold, a cold chill flashed in his eyes, and he shouted angrily, "Believe it or not, Lao Tzu poked out all the things you have done?" Let you all be fucked off! ”
As I said before, I took my military career as a . The person who comes to run the official is already an official himself, not a soldier. Under the threat of real interests, these people immediately became honest. No matter how angry he is, he doesn't dare to show it. Zhang Cheng is a young man who is extremely optimistic about Lord Shoufu, at least for now, no one can fight him.
"Alright." Lieutenant Colonel Jun Mo smiled and clapped his hands, "It's almost time, it's time for the army elites to go to dinner." With that, he smiled and turned around and walked outside the classroom.
Zhang Cheng glanced at his back, hooked the corners of his mouth, and nodded to Major Lu Zhiyuan on the side. Together, the two walked out of the large, lavishly decorated classroom.
