Chapter 19: On Revolution
After some deliberation, everyone finally decided that Han Zheng and they would return to China by ship today.
It turned out that at this time, when the second school year had just ended, Han Zheng and others found their respective instructors, and then through the instructors, they submitted a request to the school to apply for a graduation certificate and leave their studies to return to China.
The school took into account the current situation and school performance of Han Zheng and others, and unanimously agreed that Han Zheng, Wang Xian and others had excellent academic performance and normal performance, and met the conditions for applying for early completion, and the main study courses had been completed and reached the graduation standards, and gave permission.
In fact, when Han Zheng and others first came to Berlin, the Chinese side asked the students to return to China after three years of study, but at this time, considering the current situation, the students had to take the initiative to return to China, and the school would naturally not stop this situation.
Han Zheng and the others had just received their graduation certificates yesterday morning, and the school had prepared a return ship for them as soon as possible, and informed them that there was a merchant ship from Germany to Shanghai, China at about two o'clock this afternoon.
Naturally, everyone had no opinion, and then they returned to the dormitory and hurriedly packed their things. The atmosphere of the whole dormitory is a little somber, although Han Zheng is studying in another country, and there are not too many friendly memories here, but after all, this is also their alma mater, which has taught them a lot of military knowledge, and in these two whole years, the knowledge they have learned is enough for them to use in this life, people, who can be ruthless......
After Guderian told Han Zheng the news, he thought of the day when Han Zheng returned to China, but he never expected that this day would come so quickly, and they would leave the day after Han Zheng and they just got their graduation certificates. Han Zheng didn't even have time to tell him the exact time of his return.
Fortunately, Guderian overheard the news from the instructor yesterday, so he hurried over today to bid farewell to Han Zheng and the others.
"Han, why are you in such a hurry?" As soon as Guderian entered Han Zheng's dormitory, he asked directly and loudly with some urgency.
It can be seen that Guderian is quite complaining about Han Zheng's failure to inform him of this matter: "You didn't tell me in advance, I still have the news that you just confirmed from your instructor Weiss, otherwise you will keep me in the dark after you leave this afternoon, even if you are gone, I don't know." β
Han Zheng heard Guderian's words, smiled at him, and explained helplessly: "The boat to go back is also set by the school today, I didn't expect it to be so fast, but since the time is so urgent, I am really a little happy." I wanted to pack up my things and say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect you to come over. β
For Guderian's friend, Han Zheng is also quite reluctant, and in the past two years, Guderian has given him a lot of help, both in life and study.
Han Zheng pulled Guderian into the room and sat him down, and then said: "I don't know when I will meet you when I leave, there is turmoil in my motherland, and as a soldier, I may die one day." Now it seems that the whole of Europe is not so calm, you should be able to see that Europe is expected to be in chaos in recent years, if we don't die, maybe one day we may meet again. β
Speaking of this, Han Zheng's heart moved, for European countries, Han Zheng lacks a good impression, if Europe fights, won't China's chances be greater? In the past, when I chatted with Guderian, I would always mix some modern military concepts and Nazi ideas in my conversation, will it make the turmoil in Europe last longer in the future? However, as soon as he thought of this, Han Zheng couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw the other party's reluctant eyes.
Guderian didn't notice Han Zheng's abnormality, and when he heard Han Zheng talk about the situation in Germany and Europe, how could Guderian not see it?
His Majesty the Kaiser of Germany and a number of other countries at this time all wanted to seize hegemony in Europe and thus gain more overseas power and interests, and war seemed to break out sooner or later for these countries. And he's just a small person, he can only take one step at a time.
But he didn't expect that because of the arrival of Han Zheng, it did not come to World War II, and during World War I, Guderian began to make a name for himself in the military circles......
Thinking of all these troubled things, Guderian sighed helplessly, paused for a while and said, "Don't talk about these troubles, I will give you a gift today." β
Guderian said, took out a small pistol from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yingdao: "It's safer to take this, don't die after returning home, I'm still waiting for the next time we meet, you can return it to me yourself, this pistol has a range of 50 meters, I have prepared 120 rounds of bullets for you, and I will send it to you immediately." β
Han Zheng looked at the pistol given by Guderian, groped with his hand, and was a little happy in his heart, this pistol already has a bit of the style of the revolver of later generations, especially the delicate roasted blue on it shows the extraordinary nature of this gun.
"Thank you, I'll take good care of it." Han Zhengdao.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Han Zheng and some other students who stayed in Germany, a total of more than a dozen people, took the school's farewell bus to the pier where they had been, and each of their instructors, Guderian and some classmates who had been friends with each other also came to bid them off.
Everyone hugged each other, and before they had time to say more, there was a sound of shouting to get on the boat over there, Han Zheng and they had no choice but to give up, and they didn't say anything more to their friends and instructors who saw them off, after all, what they wanted to say was said before they left.
Han Zheng and the others lined up onto the merchant ship, and in the long roar of the ship, the merchant ship slowly sailed away from the dock. All the students stood on the deck at the bow of the boat, and Han Zheng looked at the crowd on the shore to see them off, and shouted loudly: "Salute-"
The students saluted the crowd on the shore in response, and the crowd on the opposite side also saluted back.
Goodbye friends, classmates, instructors, and Berlin......
Until the boat had already traveled a long way, Han Zheng could still vaguely see the crowd on the dock, and after this farewell, when he said goodbye, it was difficult to distinguish between life and death.
On this day, after a long voyage at sea, the ship finally sailed to the Indian Ocean, and the parting emotions of the students gradually suppressed at this time, and the rest of the heart became more of an urgency to return to the country and the longing for the father and elder at home.
Yesterday because of a storm at sea, all the trainees spent a whole day in the cramped cabin, and today the weather is good, so they went to the deck to breathe, and the staff on the ship did not stop them, and no one could stand it all day.
Lying on the deck basking in the sun and blowing the gentle sea breeze, Han Zheng felt lazy, playing with the pistol given by Guderian in his hand, this pistol now has a total of one hundred and twenty bullets, which is also what Guderian asked his father to help match, otherwise there would not be so many bullets for Han Zheng.
After Han Zheng rubbed for a while, he turned his head to look at the other students who were talking and laughing on the side, and suddenly remembered that when he came over, he seemed to have passed through this sea area.
So Han Zheng turned his head and said to Wang Xian, who was lying next to him: "Do you remember the night we talked when we came to this sea area?" β
"Remember, why don't you remember, you really scared me back then, and I don't know why I promised you at that time and got on your thief ship, and I'm still dizzy when I think about it." Wang Xian squinted his eyes, and glanced at the pistol in Han Zheng's hand with envy, for a soldier, this is a good baby for gluttonous people, although he has been in contact with a lot of good goods in Germany, but it is not as delicate as the one in Han Zheng's hand, looking at the smooth lines and delicate baked blue, it makes people greedy to look at.
Han Zheng said "hey" when he heard this, and he didn't ask if you regretted it, let alone Wang Xian himself, so they lay quietly on the deck.
After a while, Wang Xian didn't see Han Zheng speak, but when he turned his head, he saw Han Zheng who was squinting his eyes as if he was asleep, and he didn't know what this friend was thinking for a while, so he was so fascinated.
Wang Xian rested for a while, and first couldn't help but say a little apprehensively: "You say, can we make a career in China?" It's not that I don't believe you, it's not that I'm scared, you also know that when you encounter such a thing, you are a little nervous no matter how you say it, and this kind of thing is also very normal. β
Han Zheng didn't answer this question directly, but said: "You have also seen the strength of Germany, and you have also seen some European maritime forces on the way to Germany and on the way to Germany, how big do you say is the gap between our country and them?" If the country does not change, it will always be oppressed by these countries, even after the Meiji Restoration, small Japan has attacked our Chinese country, but such a small country has defeated our big country, this kind of national shame and humiliation, why do you say this?! We in China are sick, and if we are sick, we will naturally be cured! As for whether you can make a career out of what you said, we will only know if we do it, if our country does not change, it will become a colony of these Western countries like the India we have seen, and each of us will become slaves of the country! β
"Do you mean that if you support the revolution, you will also join the revolution at home?" Wang Xian pondered for a moment and continued to ask.
Han Zheng sneered, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes: "Of course I support the revolution, but not the revolution of those people now, but my own revolution!" Do you think that those revolutionaries can really lead China to prosperity and strength? They are too dependent on foreign countries, and although they are revolutionaries to the outside world, if you look at how many of those revolutionary leaders are really revolutionary? Recently, you also know that after the victory of the Wuchang Uprising, a diehard who did not want to make a revolution was the governor, which was the first successful revolution, and it was a joke to say...... From this, it is conceivable that we do not know how many speculators are inserted into the current revolutionary ranks, and in addition to the fact that the revolutionary party itself accepts everything, sooner or later it will not be able to succeed, and if it is not done well, it will create an even bigger mess. β
After Wang Xian listened, he was silent for a long time, and he was a little shocked for a while, and his thoughts were a little complicated.
Han Zheng: "Although the Qing court has not died now, it is almost the same as the one that is gone, my own plan is to lead the troops first after returning to China, and I will not go to the government department to be raised as an idler anyway." However, we have to go back to China to find Principal Jiang about this matter, after all, we are his students, and it will be beneficial to listen to his opinions. β
Han Zheng didn't say the news that Yuan Shikai was going to be in power, after all, it hadn't happened yet, and the time for the province would arouse suspicion.
Wang Xian finally nodded, but he had a deeper understanding of Han Zheng's ambitions: "It's okay, it's better to ask your former friends and classmates about it than not knowing anything at that time." β
Han Zheng continued to chat with Wang about some future plans, and suddenly heard Li Feng's voice over there: "Brother Han, Brother Wang, come and see, is that land?" Are we there? β
Han Zheng stood up and walked over there, looked at the looming coastline in the distance and said, "It's early, it will be there in a few days." Be patientβ"
Li Feng said embarrassedly: "Aren't I homesick, I thought it had been a month or two." β
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused a burst of laughter, yes, why hasn't it yet-
