Chapter 35 China's Partners

(Today, the third more is asking for tickets!) Xiaoqi has done what he promised, where is everyone's support? οΌ‰

Since the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, and even when the freshmen of the Army University and the Staff College enter the school every year, no matter where Chiang Kai-shek is or how busy he is, he has to rush back to attend the entrance ceremony.

In China's Confucian culture, which has been inherited for many years, the relationship between teachers and students is even greater than that of relatives whose blood is thicker than water, and it can be said that the Whampoa Military Academy is the basis of the Chinese Army, and the officers are the soul of the army, which is the main reason why Chiang Kai-shek likes his subordinates to call him the principal.

And Zhang Xuewu's every move in front of him today can be described as wishful for him, about Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Qun and Kang Ze have made relevant reports, among which Kang Ze's evaluation of Zhang Xuewu is particularly high, Kang Ze believes that what the Nanchang Xingying Special Brigade Jiangxi Suppression of Bandits is lacking now is a cadre with combat experience like Zhang Xuewu.

Chiang Kai-shek is accustomed to being a person in a higher position, so he rarely expresses his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, even if he appreciates it in his heart, on the surface, Chiang Kai-shek also said lightly: "Revolutionary soldiers should also strengthen the study of spiritualism during the study period, resist the corruption of the trend, everything can be changed, but the soldier is immutable, the foundation of the country, the important weapon of the country, you are still young, but I am very happy to have such an insight, and the sentence of allegiance to the leader is very thoughtful!" ”

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he turned to George Futzel and smiled: "My general counsel, what do you think of this student of mine?" ”

Georg Verzell patiently waited for Mary's translation, then nodded slightly and said in German: "He already has the bones of a soldier, but whether there is a soldier who matches the connotation of the rank he wears is probably unknown!" ”

When Chiang Kai-shek heard Mary's translation, he immediately smiled and said: "It seems that Mr. General Counsel is going to take the examination for my students, Chengwen Nike should pay attention!" General George Verzell was a visionary strategist and a brilliant tactician. ”

Zhang Xuewu smiled slightly, the German he had studied at the Nanjing Institute of Foreign Chinese in his previous life seemed to have finally come in handy, so he nodded to Chiang Kai-shek and George Verzell without being surprised, and then said in proficient German: "I am very grateful to General Georg Verzell for giving me this precious opportunity to learn from you." ”

George Verzell and Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Xuewu in shock, but Chiang Kai-shek's shock only stayed on his face for a moment, while George Verzell was completely stunned!

George Verzell has not heard such a pure taste of Berlin in China for a long time, especially from the mouth of a Chinese.

George Futzel smiled slightly: "I would like to ask Colonel Zhang, what do you think about the future foreign military cooperation of the Republic of China?" ”

After Mary's translation, Zhang Xuewu was slightly stunned, Georg Furtzel's question seems to be too big, where can this be explained in half a word? After seeing Chiang Kai-shek's reaction, Zhang Xuewu took a slight breath and said sorry in German!

Immediately, Zhang Xuewu said slowly in Chinese: "I personally think that before talking about the field of foreign military cooperation, the political axe of the Republic of China should unify the armed forces of the whole country, streamline and reorganize the millions of [***], and concentrate the military and political power in Nanjing, which is an important premise!" For China's political axe, Soviet Russia is a greedy polar bear, not a good neighbor, and it is said that it is a bad wolf, and the glorious empire has fallen to the West Mountain, but it still clings to the glory of the past and refuses to let go! Americans are powerful but numb to mercenary, they only have profit in their eyes, and the trauma of the First World War frightened the big American boys! The British are sleek and timid, old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and we are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the British, while the French lack a sense of responsibility, are too romantic, and will be a good lover, but will definitely not be a good instructor! ”

Georg Verzell listened to Mary's translation and nodded slightly, and Chiang Kai-shek was paying attention to Zhang Xuewu, as if he was thinking about something else?

Zhang Xuewu paused slightly and continued: "I think that before there are major changes in the international situation, politics and diplomacy in the future, the only choice for cooperation between the national political axe is the reviving Germany!" ”

Hearing this, Georg Verzell couldn't help but interject: "I take the liberty of interrupting Colonel Zhang, I would like to ask you why Germany is the only choice for China's political axe?" ”

Zhang Xuewu nodded and said loudly: "The Germanic nation is cautious and strict, disciplined and nationalist cohesion is very strong, although Germany is still rejuvenating at the moment, Germany's main strategic enemies in Europe are only France on the Western Front and Russia on the Eastern Front, Germany's population is quietly growing rapidly, I can predict that in the next ten years or less than ten years, a large number of German young people will reach the age of military service every year, and their number will be twice as large as that of France." ”

Zhang Xuewu paid attention to George Fuzel's expression and continued: "In World War I, the German Empire used to confront almost the entire world with the strength of one country, and almost conquered the world, and in the end it was still glorious!" People who are familiar with the history of the war know very well that on several occasions, the victory or defeat of a major war was a matter of a thousand moments, and it was only due to some accidental events and opportunities that the overall situation turned from a dangerous situation to a safe one. However, in the event of a resurgence of turmoil in Europe in the future, will the powerful Entente send millions of troops to the French battlefield or the Eastern Front again? The Russians are at the moment busy with their five-year plan and the internal purge, and the whole country has become unrecognizable. Will Italy, as fascist as Germany prescribes, side with Germany? Britain and the United States are separated from Europe by ocean or sea. I wonder what kind of situation will be in the future in which the brave Canadian Army at the Battle of Mount Vimy, the glorious Australian Army at the Battle of Villebretonno, the intrepid New Zealand Army at Pasendale with its craters, and the steely Indian Army that held the ArmantiΓ¨re front in the harsh winter of 1914 will once again sail to France and Flanders. When will Britain, which loves peace but paralyzes and relaxes its vigilance, send three million troops to gallop across the plains of Artois and Piccardy again? When will the United States once again arm its two million sons and daughters to cross the ocean at all costs? Perhaps these have become the memory of history, with the progress of science and technology, the mode and form of war will also undergo earth-shaking changes, whoever lags behind science and technology and the times, who will be beaten! ”

Zhang Xuewu's words made George Futzel and his translator Mary a little extremely shocked, Chiang Kai-shek was also looking at Zhang Xuewu thoughtfully, today it seems that Zhang Xuewu brought Chiang Kai-shek too much shock, for Zhang Xuewu he only has such a chance, he must impress him in front of Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise how long can he be Zhang Xuewu's cousin? What he wanted Chiang Kai-shek to notice was his own talent, not his so-called unworthy status.

However, Zhang Xuewu's theory of the rise of Germany and the prediction of war in Europe made Georg Verzell feel a little creepy, and it was obvious that this seemingly quiet and introverted Chinese [***] man was actually a fanatical warmonger? For Zhang Xuewu's analysis, Chiang Kai-shek needed time to think about it.

After a simple lunch, Georg Verzell first said goodbye, and Zhang Xuewu was notified by the secretariat to wait in the north study, this time Chiang Kai-shek did not have a smile, but some serious beckoning Zhang Xuewu to sit down, and waited for Chiang Kai-shek to take off his glasses after reading a file.

Zhang Xuewu suddenly found that Chiang Kai-shek was frowning and his left hand seemed to be trembling slightly uncontrollably?
