August 1, 1642

This day in the old world is Army Day, but in order to remember and commemorate the old world, several bigwigs in the army positioned this day as Army Day when the country was founded, and there are not a few holidays that coincide with the old world.

These are just traversing the crowd in order to express their nostalgia for that world and find a sense of belonging.

On the east side of the Manchester Industrial Park, which covers an area of about 1,000 acres, several brand new white teaching buildings and two five-storey student dormitories have sprung up from the ground.

This is the Manchester Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, strictly speaking, it is the first training school established by the army to train middle and senior officers, the main object of the school is to train officers who have made meritorious contributions in the army and have been above the Wei level, in addition to this is also a military school that accepts high school students from all over the country to apply for the examination.

Those who graduate from high school and are admitted to the school will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant after completing four semesters, and can be promoted to lieutenant if they have made meritorious service or major performance during their time at the school.

The school's teachers are all lieutenant and above officers or veterans of active duty troops, whether they come from the Travelers or new immigrants, and there is no denying that they are experienced soldiers.

Entering August, the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy is about to usher in the first batch of cadets since its establishment, and the average age of this batch of cadets is basically 16 years old, which is only a middle school student.

However, because of the proximity to the expansion of the army and the serious rupture in Australia's education, some sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers who are relatively old and have a certain amount of knowledge naturally took the college entrance examination.

There are currently three universities in Australia. One is the Manchester City Institute of Technology, which trains technical talents, regardless of age and gender. It also cultivated intellectuals among immigrants for a period of time.

The school is also currently the most well-known and can be said to be the top figures of all classes, but according to the reform plan of the Ministry of Education, in the future, Manchester City Technical College will be mainly divided into two natures, one is mainly for new immigrants to train skilled workers adult college, and the other is full-time teaching for college entrance examinations. The academic qualifications issued between the two are naturally different.

Under the policy of the major reform of the Ministry of Education. The Army Non-commissioned Officer College came into being and joined the general policy of the Ministry of Education's reform, because in the strict sense, the nature of Manchester City College and Manchester City Vocational and Technical College is completely different.

It is a university jointly established by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of National Defense. Because its enrollment targets include high school students from within the annual high school and Army units.

The difference between Manchester City Academy can be seen from the day it was founded, because it is a military academy, so the school adopts a paramilitary management, and in addition to training, you need to learn various tactical and theoretical courses here. Many classic battles have been compiled into lesson plans for students to analyze.

Although it is only the beginning of August, many parts of the school are still under construction. But every day, a few or two men in the shape of students, accompanied by their parents, enter the school to visit the interior of the school that has been completed.

Among the people who visited were immigrants from Europe and from the Ming Dynasty. The reason why he is so keen to visit the academy is because in the propaganda it is mentioned that the graduates of the academy will be active duty officers after graduation.

Some refugees who emigrated from Europe know that officers in the army have always been only the children of noble lords, and it is very difficult for civilians to become officers who lead soldiers, and it is also very difficult for ordinary people to become centurions in the Ming Dynasty.

In the past propaganda, the Australian Army has always been benchmarked as the guardian of the country, the people's army, and here the Ming immigrants have indeed seen the difference between the military and the Ming military. Australians have much more respect for soldiers than the people of the Ming Dynasty out of fear, and the people here respect them from the heart.

It can be said that soldiers and officers are almost the people that Australian girls want to marry the most. Because it's a great honor to be their family.

There are some smart immigrants, and after seeing that being a soldier is not bad and is the best path to promotion to high society, many people resolutely let their children apply for the army non-commissioned officer academy, regardless of whether the children want to or not, as long as they are willing.

Just kidding, after reading the book, he came out as a centurion-level officer, how can there be such a good thing, that is, Australians really study and return to the official, if you kid didn't come to Australia, you can have such an opportunity, give me a good test, and the future glory of the ancestors depends on you.

Countless parents' expectations and words for their children are almost all of this kind of meaning, so these parents who want their children to become dragons and phoenixes are more active than the new students who have already been admitted, and they run to school as soon as they have time. Although there are only a few buildings in the school, there is nothing to see, but as long as you go back, you are asked by the leader where you have gone, and when it comes to going to the non-commissioned officer academy, it is called a pride.

Lu Feng is an ordinary cadet of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy this year, and his family is also an old immigrant, his parents are authentic farmers on a state-run farm, and there has never been an official in the family for several generations.

This is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, as soon as he thought that his son would be an officer in the future and be envied by others, Lao Lu looked forward to starting school one day earlier, so that his son could become an officer one day earlier.

"Dad, we've been back to school more than a dozen times, and you're not afraid of people laughing at you, so I'm embarrassed to go home in the future." Lu Feng complained in a complaining tone. In his opinion, isn't it just going to school, and his dad is showing off everywhere like something, which makes others think of him, saying that he is proud and arrogant, so he should not make friends with others.

"You turtle baby, what do you know, it's too late for others to envy you, where do you dare to laugh at us, you will be an officer from now on, how envious they are, you give me a hard study to strive for meritorious service in school, I heard that meritorious service can be promoted, you know no." Lao Lu admonished his son in a tone from a passer-by. Then pointing to the playground, let's go for a walk, this place is really big, if I were twenty years old, I would definitely apply for the non-commissioned officer school. ”

Lao Lu was completely immersed in his rich imagination at this time, and he couldn't see his son's complaints and complaints at all, in his opinion, his son was still young, and when he was older, he would know what it meant to be able to enter this school, this is a passage into the upper class, and the old Lu family will completely change from a peasant to a nobleman.
