Chapter 15: The Chinese Power

In addition, they also actively responded to Chen Zeyu's proposal for Chinese education, and when this issue was discussed at the fifth meeting of the Chinese League, even many Chinese families who were still dissatisfied with Chen Zeyu's behavior of spending a lot of money to buy arms (in fact, buying arms produced by the Avalanche Group itself, Chen Zeyu must not be allowed to pay for it himself) to form a substantive army, were willing to give most of their family assets to support it, and Chen Zeyu was speechless.

In fact, by this time, the Luzon Chinese had fully developed into a simple tax and political institution.

In order to eliminate the estrangement, Chen Zeyu put forward the Chinese Pinyin plan very strongly, and on this basis, all Chinese primary and secondary schools within Chen's sphere of influence promoted Mandarin education. And let his newly established printing house produce a Xinhua dictionary.

Nowadays in Luzon, the only way to communicate with people is Mandarin Chinese, except for the dialect that the older generation still cannot change.

And with the huge manpower support of the Chinese people now, the Chinese armed forces of the Chen family have also developed by leaps and bounds.

Now the entire territory of the Philippines is equipped with the Ben-1888 Type 7 produced by the Avalanche Ordnance Group. The regular Chinese armed forces of 92mm standard rifles have reached more than 54,000 people, although due to the fact that the army is still too short and the number of recruits is too large, it may not be as good as the regular armies of the major powers, but Chen Zeyu is confident that it is definitely much stronger than the Spanish garrison in the Philippines.

Inspired by the later generations of Israel, the number of young people of reserve age who regularly visit the Blackwater Security Company in Sizhejiang City every year to receive rotational training has reached millions of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole people are truly soldiers.

Of course, Chen Zeyu's promotion is not small, not only to purchase a large number of firearms for the territory, but also to establish an ammunition factory for the production of smokeless gunpowder in Sizhejiang a few years ago, which fundamentally solved the problem of the supply of the armed forces. In addition, after earning a lot of money, Chen Zeyu also purchased a large number of equipment and expanded the family's shipyard.

Of course, these things are still far from the goal in Chen Zeyu's heart.

After returning to Sizhejiang, my uncle specially held a grand welcome dinner for Chen Zeyu at home.

Only Chen Yanyu himself knows that where he is today can be said to be completely pushed to this step by his nephew, who surprised him. In the future, what should Huameng do, let the young people go. As the de facto leader of the Huameng today, his uncle Chen Yanyu's move was mainly to announce Chen Zeyu's existence to the outside world and build momentum for him to come to power in the future.

At this time, according to Chen Zeyu's identity, he was already fourteen years old, and if he was calculated according to the habitual age of Chinese, he would be fifteen years old. In addition, Chen Zeyu had been subjected to an unknown body modification, and at this time, with a height of 172 cm, ordinary people would treat him as a young man about eighteen years old.

One day after the end of the fifth meeting of the Huameng, Chen Zeyu followed Chen Yanyu and his wife to meet his fiancée's family.

Chen Zeyu's mood was quite calm, as early as before returning from studying abroad, his uncle sent a telegram to himself to tell him the news. When he first came to Luzon when he was eight years old, his uncle took him to Vietnam to see the family, and he was said to be a good brother of his uncle when he was in the Thirteenth Row.

The betrothed fiancée is one year older than herself, her name is Wu Xiatong, a beautiful little girl who loves to laugh very much, and her surname is very quiet and gentle, and she is an ideal candidate for her wife.

In this regard, Chen Zeyu doesn't want to fight for anything, I have to say that this fiancée herself is also very pleasing to herself.

Lord Tai Shan is an old friend of his uncle, the famous Vietnamese mining and timber tycoon Wu Miao Yuan.

As for the mother-in-law, Chen Zeyu looked at the one in front of him, talking and laughing with Helen, and kept looking at his middle-aged beauty, and had to admit that Wu Xiatong had inherited her perfect genes at least in appearance. is always making fun of himself, Chen Zeyu is very distressed.

Wu Xiatong also has a younger brother Wu Zuonan, who is one and a half years younger than her, and the family also came to the Philippines in the wave of immigration a few years ago, and now lives in Laoag City, not far from the northwest of Sizhejiang Province.

At the dinner, Chen Zeyu also met new Chinese families from other parts of the Philippines.

Among them, Chen Zeyu also found several Chinese young people he met on a ship to the United States when he was a child. The three of them were also very surprised when they saw Chen Zeyu, for more than three years, several of them had just completed the formal course at the bachelor's level, but the teenager in front of them only took more than two years longer than them to complete all the courses from elementary school to master's degree, how could they not be shocked.

Chen Zeyu hurriedly introduced the two senior brothers Deng Shicong and Kuang Jingyang to the three of them.

Several people are about the same age, and they talk to each other very affectionately.

The three are named Wu Zhongxian, Liang Jinrong and Tang Yuanzhan, and they are all second-generation children of Chinese families who immigrated to the Philippines for a long time. Originally, they all went to middle school in Sizhe, Chen Zeyu's uncle's territory, and later came to the United States almost at the same time as Chen Zeyu, and several of them enrolled in Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Resalere Institute of Technology, and Brown University.

In addition, there is a man named Liang Cheng, who is also an international student who has just graduated from Yale University's law department, Chen Zeyu feels good about him, this person is a moderate in politics, but Chen Zeyu doesn't mind, and the more young people chat, the more lively they become.

Interestingly, among them, Wu Zhongxian and Liang Jinrong both specialized in ship design in college, and Ju said that when they saw the strong ships and guns of foreigners when they were very young, they decided to be sailors, and as the two grew up, they entered the university so they chose such a major to study. The last brother named Tang Yuanzhan was very interested in railways and telegraphs, and although he majored in chemical engineering in college, he taught himself a lot of related knowledge.

Chen Zeyu applauded in his heart, didn't he send someone to himself.

Immediately became enthusiastic about several people, and the words of "flesh and numbness" came one after another, and in the end, the three of them decided to stay in Sizhejiang to help themselves. Deng Shicong and Kwong Jingyang next to him were infected, and they immediately expressed their intention to stay.

In mid-August, the personnel recruited by Uncle Stern entrusted by Chen Zeyu also arrived.

Karl, Jürgen, Mark. Similian, three old hairymen.

The origins of these three unsightly Germans are all former retired officers of the Bavarian Legion, and Chen Zeyu invited them to train the armed forces for himself and train qualified officers, and the origins of these three are also very interesting.

All three were from Bavaria, the southern principality of Germany, graduated from the Munich Military Academy as a young man, and then joined the German [***] team after German reunification, and several of them participated in the Battle of Sedan, where Napoleon III was captured, and served in the Berlin Guards after their meritorious service, and belonged to the internal guard directly subordinate to Chancellor Bismarck.

The three of them served as senior officers in the army for nearly twenty years, until the young and vigorous new Kaiser Wilhelm II was unwilling to be subject to Bismarck, so he and Bismarck disagreed on many issues. In the midst of a series of power struggles, Bismarck learned the truth of the rabbit and the dog cooked, and after being disheartened, several people also retired from the army.

In his previous life, Chen Zeyu received at least half a year of brutal military training in the army because of his status as a national defense student, and then served in the navy for two years. At the same time, in order to plan his future naval forces, Chen Zeyu purchased a few gunboats and several armed merchant ships assembled in his own shipyard.

Of course, as early as a few years ago, according to his request on the telegram, his uncle Chen Yanyu had already arranged for outstanding high school graduates in the territory to study in batches of European and American naval academies every year.

In just a few years, a large number of teenagers with Asian faces came to Europe every year to sit in the Western Naval Academy and listen to the lectures. According to the arrangement, this group of young people who are proficient in foreign languages will mainly study at the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich, England, or the Naval Academy in Freiburg, Germany.

Looking at the morning glow at the end of the seashore that gradually submerged into the sea, Chen Zeyu's narrow eyes narrowed on the cold ground...... It's almost there.
