Joseph Pershing looked at the man in front of him, who was at most twenty-one or twelve years old, but was already a lieutenant colonel, and was actually very unimpressed. Because Pershing himself is a very big person, Pershing is already thirty-six years old this year, but thirty-six years old is still a second lieutenant, which is actually very low. You know, he graduated from West Point more than a decade ago, and then received the rank of second lieutenant. He later participated in the campaign to suppress the Indians, and was awarded a commendation by the Army. But because of his bad temper and the fact that he was not particularly friendly, and a classmate he offended back then had been promoted to the army headquarters as a staff officer, he deliberately obstructed it, and as a result, the promotion that should have been promoted to lieutenant was completely blown up.

After that, he voluntarily left the regular army and came to this West Point military academy, hoping to improve the atmosphere of the army. In this era, the decay of the American army has reached a very strict level. There has been no war all year round, so that the army has been paralyzed and careless, and there is no sense of preparation for war at all. And the current army is simply herding sheep, and Pershing is bitter about this. And he took the initiative to return to West Point, that is, he hoped to be able to educate those cadets well, and then be able to improve the atmosphere of the army. But even though the whole army is like this, he is all in vain.

And next, Pershing strictly grasped discipline in the military academy, and even used perverted strictness to demand his cadets. And he has earned the title of "most unpopular" instructor for this. The decay of the US military in this era made him feel very annoyed. And he has always wanted to change, but once a trend is formed, it is not a one-person thing to want to correct. And because he won't please his superiors, he will just bury his head in hard work, and then work hard to train those students. And he didn't want those students to be the ones who came to mess around. It's not the kind of bad breed that eats mixed rice, so he trains the students fiercely. And his behavior will not only not be understood by the students, but will be cursed by those students. Even the instructors at West Point didn't quite understand, because they just got by. The enemies of the Americans, that is, the Indians and the natives. There is no need to maintain too high combat effectiveness. With the scientific and technological means of the Western powers, it is completely possible to lose those natives, so there is no need to maintain too strong combat effectiveness.

"Hello, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel!" Pershing said.

Although Pershing is more respectful, there is an unconcealed arrogance in Pershing's bones, and he obviously doesn't take this Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun very seriously. Because he believes that if the United States has a war, it is because the United States attaches a little importance to armaments, can take it a little seriously, and will not suppress people like themselves who do things seriously. I'm afraid that I haven't been a lieutenant colonel for a long time, and it's possible to calibrate generals. But the reality of the United States is that it is now, and there is nothing he can do. However, he still has a sense of arrogance, and he can't look down on Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun, who is almost half his age.

"What? Are you Pershing? Jian Xiaochun exclaimed.

Jian Xiaochun received an order from Taiwan, that is, Wang Guorui personally ordered that he must find a guy named Pershing at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and then ask him to participate in this Sino-American military academy exchange. Originally, Jian Xiaochun didn't believe that Wang Guorui could know that there was an officer named Pershing in the United States from such a distance. But now Jian Xiaochun feels that Wang Guorui's ghosts are unpredictable. I actually knew that there was an officer named Pershing at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and he was also a second lieutenant.

Originally, Jian Xiaochun was already disappointed in the cadets of West Point. He didn't think West Point could be any better. But when he saw that the cadets under Pershing of the West Point Military Academy were so neat, and the military uniforms were so excellent in all aspects, they were simply better than the military appearance and military style of the Taiwan army, which made Jian Xiaochun understand the meaning of Wang Guorui's order. This Joseph Pershing is really definitely not an ordinary person!

"Pershing, are you really Joseph Pershing?" Jian Xiaochun asked again.

"Yes. I'm Joseph Pershing! Pershing asked.

"How come you're just a second lieutenant?" Jian Xiaochun asked again.

Jian Xiaochun felt simply incredible, because this Pershing was the person Wang Guorui, the governor of the governor, wanted by name. And to be so praised by Wang Guorui, in everyone's eyes, they should be top talents, not ordinary people. But now this Pershing was only a second lieutenant, and he was thirty-seven or eighteen years old. Compared to his own age, he was almost twice as old, and he was actually only a second lieutenant, which made Jian Xiaochun feel incredible. According to common sense, he is only a second lieutenant at this age, so how "incompetent" he must be!

However, after listening to Jian Xiaochun's words, Pershing immediately took the initiative to say: "In our United States, there are many talents, and I am the most incompetent one, so I have not been able to be promoted for many years. It's really my own reason, we Americans have too many talents! ”

"Hahahaha......" Jian Xiaochun suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Jian Xiaochun understood, where could he not understand? Pershing's remarks are completely contrary, in fact, they are completely satirical about the US military's inability to appreciate talents! And this Pershing is actually more sensible, knowing that in front of himself as a foreigner, he must leave some face for his motherland. And this situation made Jian Xiaochun feel as if he had seen an allusion to China back then, that is, Yan Zi made Chu. And this allusion is quite similar to the current situation, but the situation is reversed.

"Second Lieutenant Pershing, our Governor Wang has praised you very much, saying that you are a rare talent, and you must be an excellent general!" Jian Xiaochun said.

"What? And your kings and governors know me? Pershing asked in shock.

This time, it was Pershing's turn to be flattered, because Taiwan's battle against Japan this time has emerged a lot of new tactics, and these new tactics have been studied by Western countries. Unlike other military bigwigs in the United States, Pershing heard that there was a new tactic and immediately began to take the initiative to study it. However, Pershing felt that Taiwan's new tactic was indeed an epoch-making tactic, and not only established an offensive and defensive mode with trenches as the main body, but also initially thought of a method to crack trench warfare, that is, infiltration tactics. And the person who attacked and cracked it was actually the same person who came up with it, this is not simple.

You know, many people can create a tactic, but it is difficult to crack the tactic they have created. After all, a person is not willing to crack these tactics from the subconscious, after all, the tactics created by everyone are their own "son", how can they bear to kill their own son with their own hands? Generally speaking, the person who invents a tactic is often solved by his enemies. However, Taiwan is different, not only creating a trench warfare by itself, but also personally breaking this tactic, which is what shocked Pershing.

And this qiē is all directed at Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, and Pershing has determined that Wang Guorui is a very powerful military strategist. And now Wang Guorui has heard of his "little" ensign, which really makes him feel incredible. His fame spread to the Far East, to the ears of a famous military strategist in Asia, and to praise himself, which was enough to shock the current Pershing. After all, the current Pershing is definitely not the only special general in the US Army later, and he is currently just an ordinary petty second lieutenant, and he has not been able to be promoted for many years. So in comparison with Wang Guorui's identity now, he is an ordinary second lieutenant, and his status is much lower than Wang Guorui. If you are in the U.S. military, there are definitely many more people who have heard of Wang Guorui than those who have heard of Pershing. But when such a big "big man" mentions himself, no matter who he is, he will be shocked.

"Dear Mr. Joseph Pershing, our Governor Wang of Taiwan has sent me a telegram asking me to represent the Taiwan military and hire you as the captain of the military style picket team of our Taiwan Military Academy. As long as you are willing to go over, you can enjoy the same rank and treatment as our Taiwanese army battalion commander, that is, the rank of major. Jian Xiaochun said.

And Pershing saw this condition, which also made Pershing a little tempted, because he also wanted to go to Taiwan to really learn the essence of trench warfare. He was too far away from Taiwan in the United States, and they had little influence in Japan to have access to first-hand information. Therefore, Pershing knew about the tactics of trench warfare but did not know why, and Pershing was very moved when he heard this invitation. However, he is a member of the American military after all, and he must be approved by the president of West Point.

"Okay, I agree with you to go to China, I hope you can go to China to study hard, so that I can teach better tactics when I come back from the United States!" Principal Ernst said.

Then, Jian Xiaochun also said: "This time, the ones we chose from the West Point Military Academy to go to Taiwan for exchanges were also selected from the cadets under Mr. Pershing!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel!" Pershing said.

And the principal Ernst was a little embarrassed, thinking that your qiē showed that Taiwan's officers did not look down on other cadets at West Point, and only looked down on this Pershing and his cadets.

"It seems that we really have to grasp military discipline, otherwise we will really be embarrassed and thrown abroad!" Principal Ernst thought helplessly. (To be continued......)
