As a student of the second phase of the Army University's advanced special training course, Zhang Xuewu, who was 23 years old and a brigade commander with the rank of colonel, already stood out from the crowd.

What makes Zhang Xuewu stand out from the crowd is not his appearance or size, but his age! The so-called Army University is actually a department set up within the Nanjing Army Military Academy at the suggestion of George Fötzel, general adviser of Chiang Kai-shek's [***] Affairs Advisory Group, specifically for the purpose of training and selecting senior military commanders, and the Military Staff University under preparation.

At present, the eighth and ninth phases of Huangpu are still studying in the school, and most of the officers who graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu are still in the regular camp, and there are very few staff officers and cadets in the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, and the Nanchang Battalion, and there are very few lieutenant colonels; even Chiang Kai-shek said that Zhang Lingfu, a fierce general who looked at the latter in a different way, was only a major battalion commander of the third battalion of the second regiment of the reading brigade of the first division of the First Army at this time.

The threshold of the senior special training class of Lu University is a colonel, so it is destined that Zhang Xuewu will not be able to meet the fierce generals who will be fearsome in later generations.

Zhang Xuewu, a relative of the emperor who was born in the Northeast Frontier Army and has Zhang Xueliang as his cousin, is naturally incomparable and jealous, although at this moment Deputy Commander Zhang has been demoted to the chairman of the Beiping Military Branch, and the principal Jiang Zhongzheng is also in the field to be idle, but people with a discerning eye know that Jiang Zhongzheng's comeback and the fall of Sun Ke have become inevitable!

In the face of a group of "military gangsters" in their forties, who opened their mouths and closed their positions with big bellies, Zhang Xuewu had already lost his appetite, coupled with his young qualifications, he seemed unruly, and naturally became a loner! For himself to become a lonely Zhang Xuewu is relaxed, except for the opening ceremony on the day of the opening ceremony after seeing the dean of education Zhang Zhizhong, due to a. After the outbreak of the 28th Shanghai Incident, Zhang Zhizhong, the chief of education, went into battle and led the Fifth Army with German-made equipment to Shanghai to help the 19th Route Army.

Due to the fact that all the German weapons and the Fifth Army trained according to the training syllabus of the German [***] Affairs Advisory Group went to Shanghai to participate in the war, and the German instructors in the school were reduced by a large half, so some courses were changed to self-study For those German affairs consultants who wore German Wehrmacht uniforms and ran on the front line of Songhu under the fire of the army, Zhang Xuewu admired them from the bottom of his heart for these conscientious soldiers, not those who were called international friends in later generations, and only thought of using the blood of Chinese [***] people to dye their tops. Do you know people whose abilities are questioned in their own country and who have no chance to command troops? How can you have the ability to command a large [***] team with intricate relationships?

Zhang Xuewu was an excellent senior professional military staff officer in his previous life, and it was easy to get along with German instructors who knew German, and the Germans were very rigorous and pragmatic in their work, but they were not so rigid in life, beer and dance parties were also the favorite of the Germans, Zhang Xuewu was often invited to the ball by several instructors such as Meitlin, and the special treatment among the students was also envied by others.

However, the main reason why Zhang Xuewu went to the ball was to inquire about the battle situation of the Fifth Army in disguise, because the German instructors and instructors talked about it the most at the ball.

The war in Shanghai did not surprise Zhang Xuewu, it can be said that he was induced in order to contain the interference of international forces in the situation in the northeast and attract attention, and Shanghai has gradually replaced Guangzhou's trade and financial status since the opening of the port, and has become the economic capital of China!

In fact, the number of troops invested in this side is very limited, and the tactics of [***] are also old and difficult to do, even the well-equipped Fifth Army can only helplessly resist the naval guns and aerial bombs of the Kou with flesh and blood.

That evening, Captain Maitlin, dressed in a crisp suit, approached Zhang Xuewu and went to the Paramount Ballroom for a ball dinner at the invitation of Miss Mary, General George Verzell's translation secretary.

Since Zhang Xuewu arrived at Lu University, he gave the impression to the German instructors and instructors that he was studying seriously, and among the 37 students in the class, Zhang Xuewu was all excellent in both his homework and his evaluation, and some instructors even suggested to Georg Verzell that Zhang Xuewu should be sent to the Brandenburg Senior Staff Military Command College in Germany for systematic further study. and the mode of thinking of military command and staff to deal with the change in the form of war, and so on.

For these Germans who are enthusiastic about helping China build its national defense forces, from a personal point of view, Zhang Xuewu likes their rigid, upright, strict, and cautious attitudes very much, but politics is politics, not to mention the chaotic international politics of this era?

The tide of anger is surging, the party flag is flying, this is the Whampoa of the revolution. We must carry out the doctrine, do not relax our discipline, and be prepared to be the vanguard of struggle. Open the bloody road, guide the oppressed people, join hands, and move forward. The road is not far, don't be surprised, dear and sincere, continue to keep forever! Carry forward! Our school spirit!

Zhang Xuewu glanced at the ninth batch of cadets on the field, there is no doubt that the Nanjing Army Military Academy has become the cradle of the cultivation of officers of China's national defense forces, looking at these young people who have the blood to serve the country with their hearts, how many of them can witness the victory of this war with their own eyes? If those who sacrificed knew the price of victory and the final bitter result, would they regret the Nine Springs?

Today is the first time Zhang Xuewu has gone out after arriving in Nanjing, as a senior special study student of the Army University, Zhang Xuewu also enjoys the same treatment as the navy and the air force, three yuan a day six dimes of living expenses, although it does not sound much, but you must know that a flower boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing's bustling and lively city to find a few girls to indulge in a night is only five yuan.

There is milk, bread, cigarettes, red wine, and the library with a rich collection of books in the residence of the German Affairs Advisory Group, Zhang Xuewu, who has no acquaintances in Nanjing, has not left the school, where does Zhang Xuewu know that he will not come out, but it hurts Mary who is on a mission, at first Mary thought that it was because of the tension of studying and no time, after all, Zhang Xuewu is a cadet!

Later, Mary found that the students of the advanced special refresher class changed their civilian clothes almost every night to go in and out of the fireworks of the three religions and nine streams, only Zhang Xuewu went back and forth to the library of the German [***] affairs advisory group every day, and Mary then learned that Zhang Xuewu occasionally appeared at the special dance party of the German affairs consultant in the school, so she became a must-attend person at every dance, and the result surprised Mary was that Zhang Xuewu couldn't dance? The main purpose of his coming to the ball was to discuss with the Metrian a few people what three-dimensional coordination tactics?

Every time she looked at the large group of people beside Zhang Xuewu, Mary almost went crazy and sighed helplessly, when will she have the opportunity to be alone with Zhang Xuewu?

Mary didn't know that she was not the most miserable, the most miserable was the "flower agency" seconded to China, Rie Ozawa, who carried out the work against Zhang Xuewu, with great resentment and was accused by the head of the Dohihara agency for disgrace to the agents of the Empire, the agent team commanded by Rie Ozawa has been in Nanjing for a long time, and almost every day he has to appear near the small camp in various costumes, but there is no trace of Zhang Xuewu?

Could it be that this Zhang Xuewu doesn't eat fireworks in the world? So much so that none of the several sets of plans for Zhang Xuewu himself that Kenji Dohihara personally participated in could be implemented.
