In the evening, "Don? The "Shelfield" cruise ship has sailed through the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean.

When the ship entered the Mediterranean, like most passengers, Yang Du came to the deck to watch the fall. In front of me, it is still a blue sky, a vast sea, and boundless. In the western sky, a scarlet sun is sinking into the sea, and the surface of the sea is also dyed red. This scenery is quite like a colorful oil painting, which is very pleasing to the eye. He enjoyed the pride of the sea and breathed in the fresh air with a slight salty smell.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone screaming on the side of the ship on the right.

"Look, the moon has risen!"

Qian Xuesen turned around when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw that in the sea and sky in the east, a light blue full moon had just come out, and it shyly looked at the sea, emitting a faint light.

"Ahh It's amazing, the moon and the sunset are shining in the distance, it's a real wonder on the sea! ”

The passengers on deck admired the beautiful scenery, although many of them had seen the wonders of the moon and the moon during the long journey, and they could indulge in it.

At this time, the fiery sunset and the bright moonlight were draped on everyone on the deck at the same time. And Yang Du couldn't help but think of the beautiful words "said the moon and the sky" and "said the moon and the same light". He even thought that this wonderful beauty seemed to remind him of something that he was about to set foot on European soil.

After a while, the sun had sunset into the sea, and the passengers who watched the "moon and the moon" returned to the cabin, and on the deck, he saw more than a dozen people, dozens of naval officers and officers, they were wearing the uniform of the Liberation Army, the style was the same as the "new clothing" on their bodies, the only difference was that the military uniforms on their bodies were pure white, while the ones on their own were gray.

"The sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk!"

Thinking of Singapore, India and other places that he passed along the way, Yang Du couldn't help but say this sentence when a voice came from beside him.

"Mr. Huizi is such a good surname!"

Just listening to the Chinese with a strong Cantonese accent, Yang Du knew who it was, it was Cheng Biguang, the chief officer of the navy who went to Britain to receive the ship.

"I can't talk about the surname Ya, I just feel something!"

Yang Du said seriously, if he was in China, he might not have such a deep feeling, but what he witnessed along the way stung him.

"Thinking about the fact that the Taixi tribes, from Europa, how many kingdoms have been destroyed along the way, before settling in today's situation, if our tribe does not rise up and become self-reliant, I am afraid that it is really like the Indians, trapped in the land of extinction, learning English, eating Western food, and not knowing as a slave!"

The cruise continues to break the waves in the Mediterranean, chasing flocks of seagulls at the stern. They whined, flipped up and down. Yang Du and Cheng Biguang walked to the stern of the boat in a walk, and when they looked towards the stern, they only saw a crimson reflected in the white in the sea.

"Maybe it's a shark!"

Seeing that Yang Du was a little puzzled, Cheng Biguang spoke.

If you look closely, you can only see a big fish floating on the surface of the sea, it is dripping with blood and is already dying.

Cheng Biguang pointed to the great white shark that seemed to be struggling in the seawater and said.

"The shark must have hit the ship's propeller. This sea overlord, in front of fish, shrimp and clams, is extremely vicious, and can even overturn small fishing boats, which is unstoppable. However, in the face of modern sea ships, it is vulnerable. ”

Yang Du nodded, still staring at the big shark that had moved away from the ship with a curious gaze.

"This shark is not like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for two hundred and sixty years, it has been exalting its prestige in my Han people, and my Han people have made cattle and horses for it, all of which are indispensable, but in the face of the cutting-edge technology of foreigners, it is vulnerable!"

Just as he was saying this, there was a sound from the deck: "Lie said that he was sweating and sweating, the gun commander was smiling and smiling, the ocean was sparkling, and the navy athletes were on the ship, training hard all night to sharpen the elite soldiers......

Then a group of teenagers lined up singing and running, these 160 teenagers are the admiralty from the Fuzhou Ship Master School, Tianjin Naval Academy, Huangpu Naval Academy, Jiangnan Naval Academy, Weihai Naval School, Yantai Naval School, Hubei Naval School, and Church School recruited to study and study the navy in the United Kingdom, and they will study and practice in the British Royal Navy Military Academy and the Imperial Navy for more than 10 years.

Throughout the voyage, Yang Du had witnessed how hard these people were, and in order to compete for training, General Cheng personally discussed with the British captain to clean the deck in exchange for them running along the deck on the deck to maintain their physical strength, and at night these teenagers continued to learn naval terminology there, and from the time they got on board, except for singing this song "Night Training", they could not be heard speaking Chinese at all.

“…… The angry waves are rolling and the water is groaning, and I fall asleep late tonight. Who is the leader of the war? The navy athletes got on the ship and worked hard all night to sharpen the elite soldiers......"

When the song was gone, Yang Du's eyes were still on those teenagers, "Don? Of the more than 1,600 passengers on the Sheffield, nearly half are Chinese, and in addition to more than 190 officers and students sent by the navy, there are also more than 600 government-sent students, who will study at universities in Britain and Germany.

The ruling axe looks at the world, and the ambition of not being left behind can be seen from this, only these nearly 800 students, according to the newspaper report, only the tuition and living expenses will cost more than 2 million yuan a year, and this is not the first batch, the ruling has not yet raised the righteousness, has sent a group of students to study in the United States, Britain and Germany in the name of the company.

"How difficult it is to prosper the country!"

As he muttered this, Cheng Biguang turned the words over again.

"How difficult it is to prosper the country!"

After saying this, the two fell silent, and only the group of foreigners on the deck looked curiously at these young Chinese sailors who had cut off their braids.

When a dozen Orientals in civilian clothes on the gangway looked at these teenagers, one of them suddenly spoke.

"Oshima, I'm afraid they're our classmates in England!"

"Yes! Now Chinese has finally found the right way, and the future of this country ......"

"They found their way, but it was twenty years late!"

"The heart is like a fire, hard work, the banner is flying, hunting new. The ship nurtures the prosperity of the country, and the navy athletes get on the ships and train hard all night to sharpen the elite soldiers......"

Matsudaira chanted the song before speaking.

"Their training without night or night will cause the sergeant to be extremely tired, but they can train an elite soldier in a relatively short period of time, for the army, and the same for those international students, don't you see those international students? In just 23 days, many of them are already fluent in English and German, and if they feel like this, they can learn more at university and have more time for internships......"

After dinner, Yang Du and Cheng Biguang and his entourage were dressed up and came to the small dining room of the cruise ship together, where a send-off party will be held today, and tomorrow 33 students will go ashore in Italy, and they will receive education in Italian universities.

On the walls of the cafeteria are two Chinese flags brought by students from China. "Back to the Han and Tang Dynasties" played, and everyone stood up and saluted the national flag. The students' faces were filled with excitement and solemnity, and many had tears in their eyes.

The music stopped. Cheng Biguang was invited to give a keynote speech at the meeting. He stood in front of the national flag in high spirits, and there was a round of applause in the dining room. Suddenly, a deep and somewhat stiff voice echoed in the venue of the celebration.

"As a naval officer, I am not fit to say anything to you here, but as a compatriot, I feel it is my duty to say something."

He said, "Students, the motherland is strong and prosperous is the long-cherished wish of every descendant of Yan and Huang, and in your future study career, the country will spend millions every year for your study and life." The ruling government once said that even if you train ten divisions less and buy one less big warship, you must be provided with education, because you ......"

Looking around at the student in front of him, his voice was calm and excited.

"You are the future of this country! Two hundred and sixty years of slavery have caused the decline of a nation that once led the world, and now, this nation must demand knowledge in the world in order to achieve the re-rise of the nation, and now you must redouble your efforts to study, use your own efforts to catch up with the gap with the world, and take back our lost time! So that he said that the time has come to contribute his knowledge and talents to the motherland, let us join hands and encourage each other! ”

"One stone stirs up a thousand waves". Vice Admiral Cheng Biguang's enthusiastic speech won warm applause from the students and made the venue more lively.

"The ruling government once said that everyone has 24 hours and 1440 minutes of time every day, time is fleeting, and if you lose it, you can never get it back, and you must grasp every minute now. Of the 24 hours on this day, with 8 hours of sleep, 3 hours of eating and drinking, 4 hours of entertainment or socializing, and 2 hours on the road, how much time do we have left for work or study? And in the remaining 7 hours, how much time can we really spend studying and working? ”

Yang Du, who was standing on the stage, looked at the students and quoted what the ruling government had said.

"Compared with our close neighbors, we have wasted 30 years of time, time is not waiting for me, I hope you cherish this opportunity to study abroad, learn useful knowledge, repay the country's support, the cultivation of the nation!"

Yang Du, a well-known constitutional expert, made the students fall into deep thought, each of them knew where the money for the ruling axe to send them to study abroad came from, it was the ruling axe that squeezed out little by little, it was the ruling pro-own business that came from, the country was created, the foreigners controlled the tariffs, and the ruling axe sent them out even if it was in a thousand difficulties, what was it for?

"Please General Cheng and Mr. Yang rest assured, we will do our best to study, live up to the expectations of the ruling and the country, and acquire useful knowledge, and he will serve the country!"
