Chapter 52: The Military Academy
In line with the idea of alternating the old with the new, the day just after the first lunar month is not only the graduation ceremony of the old students of the Huaxia Military Academy, but also the enrollment registration period for the new year, which can be regarded as the most lively day of the Huaxia Military Academy.
The reason why this Huaxia Military Academy is famous all over the country is precisely because of Cai Yi and Jiang Baili.
Although the principal of the Huaxia Military Academy has always been Zhang Shusheng himself, there are two vice principals, Cai Yi and Jiang Baili. After Cai Ye returned to Xiaoqingshan with Zhang Shusheng, Zhang Shusheng kept his promise, not only invested in the construction of a military academy as soon as possible, but also recruited soldiers with real instructor talent everywhere, from the domestic instructors and Chinese instructors at the beginning, to the later after the defeat of Germany, he even invited several German instructors to explain the tactics and tactics of the Western army.
Later, the news of the establishment of the Huaxia Military Academy also spread, and Cai Jie's refusal to regain military power also became a good talk in the newspapers. He even personally published a newspaper to recruit students with Jiang Baili, who was named as a military academy: the Huaxia Military Academy is located in the southwest and aims to train qualified non-commissioned officers for the country and the people. Admission is free for all talented and aspiring students.
The huge momentum and sky-high fame completely covered up the existence of Zhang Shusheng and the militia and even the Shusheng Company. Even a very small number of people who know the inside story will think that this is a place where Cai Yi raised private soldiers to retire, and they would not have thought that the details of the military academy were so complicated.
As a result, every year after that, the Huaxia Military Academy recruited students, and the students from all over the country would break through the threshold.
The gate of the tall Huaxia Military Academy is made of marble, and the two ten-meter-high marbles on the left and right are inscribed with the school union written by Cai Yi himself: Fight for the people, win luck for the country
Early in the morning, the students who were studying had already lined up, and the long line was shrouded in the morning fog with no end in sight, and everyone was looking forward to it. The more affluent students were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, and some even brought their servants to serve them. The poorer students, on the other hand, clenched their only short clothes, and some of them still carried the roasted sweet potatoes they had stuffed under the fire last night in their pockets. But in general, they can follow the rules and wait in line for the enrollment registration that starts in the afternoon.
At noon, a mighty group of soldiers drove up.
About a company of soldiers, dressed in colorful combat uniforms with some indescribable tactical bags on them, carrying modified Chinese-style rifles with bayonets on their backs, trotted neatly past the students.
The company commander headed by the "first, second, third, and fourth ......" took the lead in shouting slogans, and he was also wearing a field military uniform, with an incomparably heroic spirit and an unapproachable majesty on his face. The rifle on his back was also covered with a cold bayonet, except for an officer's Mauser pistol at his waist.
As soon as the company commander finished shouting "One, Two, Three, and Four...... the soldiers also shouted an incomparably neat slogan, and the sound was earth-shattering. The voices of more than 100 people shook the sky, not to mention, running in front of the crowd, like a group of fierce tigers, rolling up a wave of qi, which actually frightened many students on the spot, and the military school in front of them was really extraordinary.
"Stay in a row, guard the gate in place!"
"Yes! A row of orders, take a break, stand upright! ”
The first platoon, which received the order, immediately stood on both sides of the gate under the order of the platoon commander, skillfully removed the rifles, and held them in front of his chest with a snap, full of murderous energy.
"My mom, this, this is a student in the school, or Principal Cai's private soldier, it's really scary." In the corner where parents gathered in the distance, a parent of a student dressed as a businessman wiped the sweat on his head, and he had seen a lot of people traveling from south to north, but he had never seen such a mighty soldier.
The military posture is solemn, murderous, and terrifying.
"Who knows, alas, I hope my kid can go in, the military academy in China, and it is the number one here." A parent responded.
"Principal Cai's majesty has not diminished in the slightest, alas, it's a pity that he is unwilling to raise troops to fight for the world again, otherwise with the momentum of these soldiers in front of him, what Sun Cannon, Zhang Cannon, which is his opponent."
Not to mention that many parents talked about it, and the students were even more frightened by this militia company like a tiger and wolf division, but they also strengthened their determination to enter the Huaxia Military Academy.
Soon after, several old-fashioned black cars sped up with a large red "0" on their license plates. The small convoy had just stabilized in front of the gate, and the soldiers on alert suddenly straightened their chests even more.
"Salute!"
With a snap, the soldiers lifted their guns again and put them to their chests, their eyes looking in the direction of the convoy. The platoon commander of the alert platoon trotted towards the convoy, and several people in the car had already gotten out of the car and stood guard in front of the black car.
Immediately, a short-haired young man pushed open the door and walked down, and the person who came was Zhang Shusheng, the deputy county magistrate of Huize County, the head of the Xiaoqingshan People's League, and the general manager of Shusheng Company.
"Report to the division commander, Gu Tianfeng, the commander of a regiment, a battalion and a company, will report to you."
Company Commander Gu Tianfeng paused and saluted, saluting the mythical figure of the militia in front of him with his most serious attitude.
In eight years, the Xiaoqingshan militia has grown from a small fight of one regiment and three battalions to the scale of a division today, which seems to be very fast, but in fact, in the years of repeated battles and warlords' indiscriminate attacks, it has been extremely conservative and growing.
One regiment in three years, one brigade in five years, and one division in eight years, this is the line of the militia to start. Stimulated by the huge profits of chemical products, new clothing, and advanced medicines, Xiaoqingshan's industry has developed very rapidly. And if there is no absolute armed force to protect it, then everything can only be a wedding dress for someone else.
From the very beginning, Zhang Shusheng had a firm belief that military development must keep pace with the speed of economic development. It doesn't have to be a lot of soldiers, but it must be powerful, well-trained, combat-tough, and well-equipped.
So, after eight years of development, he finally saved enough belongings, a powerful army of nearly 10,000 people in a division. I have to say that in recent years, at least more than half of the huge profits of Shusheng Company have been smashed in army construction and military science and technology research and development.
Zhang Shusheng got out of the car, saluted in return, turned around and looked at the thousands of people in the main square in front of the military academy, and walked in with satisfaction.
The quality of the students in these two classes is getting better and better, and there are even a few people in the student list who should have appeared in the first list of the Whampoa Military Academy in 1924.
On the parade ground of the military academy, 147 fresh graduates were standing there in full gear, wearing straight and good cloth military uniforms, holding tightly in their hands the Chinese-style rifles that had accompanied them for three years and had good bayonets.
Three years ago, many of them had doubts. Of course, it is worth being happy to enter a military school, but the regulations on enlisting in the army at the beginning made many people slightly apprehensive, and most people were unsure about whether they could have a better home after graduation.
However, in the past three years, these students, who have been trained with militia soldiers countless times, have long left behind all their worries, and only hope to graduate early and enter the iron-blooded army.
It was hard for them to imagine that the little little Qingshan would actually hide such an iron-blooded army, their training, their equipment, their military discipline, their combat quality, their beliefs, and their thoughts, which once made these students feel completely inferior.
Before enlisting in the army, many people believed that they were talented and well-informed, but when they met the small platoon instructors of the militia regiment, they were dumbfounded by a few words. After a year at the school, they boasted that they were knowledgeable, but they were easily defeated by the militia troops during the exercise. Later, they realized that it was not that they were too stupid, let alone that the military academy was not badly taught, but that the other party's actual combat training was so much that it was outrageous, and that General Jiang Baili, who was as famous as the principal, joined the staff of the militia group, and perhaps, the militia group would become their second school.
"Stand upright, salute!"
A military order sounded like a roar, which meant that the ceremony was about to begin.
The group walked up to the school review platform, led by Zhang Shusheng, followed by Cai Yi, Wu Tiejun, Jiang Baili, Zhuge Sheng and others. Cai Yi is the executive vice president of the Huaxia Military Academy, Wu Tiejun is the deputy commander of the First Division of the Xiaoqingshan Militia Regiment, Jiang Baili is the chief of staff of the Militia League, and Zhuge Sheng is the deputy instructor of the First Division of the Militia and the instructor of the Second Brigade of the Yunwushan Militia Regiment.
After the establishment of the military academy, Zhang Shusheng did not leave it alone, and even personally served as the director of the political department of the military academy. Every week, there is one of his compulsory courses, Modern Military Ethics and Thought.
"Soldiers, as the principal, I would like to congratulate you on your graduation with honors after three years of hard study. The country is in an eventful time, the warlords are fighting, the people are struggling to make a living, and although you have graduated from the military academy, you have only just begun. I hope that you will remember the teachings of your teachers, devote your youth and passion to the iron-blooded army, and prove that you are a good soldier with your blood and sweat. Tell me what your mission is!! ”
"Revitalize China, protect China!"
"Very well, I hope you remember what you said today, and I'll keep an eye on your performance." Zhang Shusheng waved his hand, saluted a standard military salute, and then shouted: "Award!" ”
Since 1919, the militia has officially carried out the military rank reform, and the standardized military ranks of later generations have been introduced. When cadets graduate, a very small number of outstanding cadets are awarded the rank of second lieutenant, and the rest are awarded the rank of non-commissioned officer.
Wu Tiejun personally held the plate with the military rank, Zhang Shusheng stood in front of the platform, and the outstanding students were ready to come to the stage one by one to receive the military rank.
"Tell the headmaster, your name, where are you from?" Zhang Shusheng took a pair of epaulettes with the rank of second lieutenant and asked kindly, although he could basically know these students. He is only 28 years old now, but in the eyes of cadets, he is already an unattainable figure. Needless to say, everything is not only their own principal, but also their own teacher.
"Report to the Headmaster! Wang Gongliang. Sichuan Xuyong people! Wang Gongliang straightened his body, with the greatest strength of his life to salute a military salute, he, like all military cadets, three years, the biggest wish is to be able to stand on the stage, accept the title of the principal, but I didn't expect that he was the best grade, the first student to be awarded the title on stage.
"Congratulations, Cadet Wang Gongliang, because you graduated with honors, the headquarters of the militia decided to award you the rank of second lieutenant." Zhang Shusheng personally took off the cadet's epaulettes for him, and pinned the two epaulettes to him personally. Wang Gongliang only felt that his eyes were astringent, and a drop of men's tears rolled out, and then he endured it and saluted again before stepping down.
"Tell the headmaster your name, where are you from?" In the same process, Zhang Shusheng also asked kindly in a respectful way for the students.
"Report to the principal, Zhu Chi! Jiangxi water repairers. Zhu Chi saluted side-by-foot, although he was only in second place, but his heart was very high, and he thought that he was no worse than the first prince Liang. Being able to be awarded the rank of second lieutenant by the principal himself also completely stimulated his enthusiasm.
"Congratulations, Cadet Zhu Chi, because you graduated with honors, the militia headquarters decided to award you the rank of second lieutenant." Zhang Shusheng also ceremoniously pinned the rank epaulette to this student.
Looking at the iron-clad students in front of him, he couldn't help but look forward to the group of students studying this year outside the door.
……………………
After the completion of the award, several large military trucks drove directly to the camp to pull these trainees away, and what was waiting for them would be the regular troops of the militia group.
"Cai Gong has worked hard, once a year, another group of students have graduated." Zhang Shusheng held Cai Yi's hand and said gratefully.
Cai Yi smiled slightly, and pointed to the truck carrying the students in the distance, "Shu Sheng, it's me who should say thank you." The students graduating today will become the hope of China's future army together with the previous students, and you, let everyone see hope. ”
Leaving the school parade ground, Zhang Shusheng did not go back directly, but changed into an ordinary military uniform, only let the guards follow from afar, and went to check this year's registration.
As soon as the graduation ceremony is over, the registration process begins.
According to the regulations of the Huaxia Military Academy, students who sign up will be provided with simple accommodation, and then the primary selection will start the next day, and the students who pass the primary selection will face the civil and military assessment in the next two days.
Looking at the crowded but orderly registration points, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but secretly say that the development of the militia still depends on the continuous replenishment of blood by the military academy, and just the weapons and equipment are just to make some paper tigers.
Just as he was about to turn away, an indignant voice was unusually loud.
"Why don't you let me sign up?"
The conflict was at the No. 5 registration point, although the students did not dare to watch, but they were all watching this side, and the soldiers who maintained order also quickly came over, and Zhang Shusheng also walked up wearing an ordinary combat uniform.
"According to the regulations, applicants must have proof of identity, which we have already stated in the newspapers and in the recruitment of students in various places." A second-year military academy student in charge of the registration point first saluted, and then ruthlessly rejected the appeal of the student in front of him.
"Sir, isn't my name and place of origin written on it? You see, the name is Dai Anlan, from Wuxian County, Anhui. "That student has a temperament that is not quite the same as the student next to him, although he has no identity certificate, but he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not flinch, "I Dai Anlan Xing does not change his name and surname, and he says that he is from Anhui Wuxian is from Anhui Wuxian, and his background is innocent, but he has offended people in his family, so he can't get an identity certificate." ”
"No, we can't take your word for it without written proof." The cadets of the military academy scrupulously refused, saying that the regulations of the military academy are like a mountain, how can they be violated at will.
"I swear by my personality! My real name is Dai Anlan, a native of Wuxian County, Anhui, with an innocent background, just hoping to be able to study at the Huaxia Military Academy. Dai Anlan's predicament has been pointed out by many students who are not doing their jobs, but he still replied with his chest open.
"Your personality? How many oceans is it worth? Count it as a bird, haha......" A gentleman next to him who looked like he didn't know how to learn or know how to laugh.
"Shut up, you can leave." Zhang Shusheng suddenly walked in front of the gentleman who ridiculed Dai Anlan, "The military academy doesn't need you to hurt people and insult other people's personalities at will. ”
As soon as the gentleman's face was horizontal, he was about to punch someone, but then he saw two guards come forward, pointing guns at him murderously, and let him leave, and he was speechless and his legs were weak, so he could only let the guards leave with their arms crossed. I'm afraid and regretful, isn't the person in the ordinary military uniform in front of me the same big man I saw at the school gate at noon??
"Why do you have to join a military school?" Zhang Shusheng turned around and asked the student named Dai Anlan, although the other party was a little surprised, he could still keep his composure.
"In this world, people who can't survive have many choices. Some chose to be bandits and plague the township, but I just chose a military school. There are some things that always need to be done by learned soldiers. Dai Anlan was extremely simple, shook his head with a wry smile and said, knowing that the other party was a great character, but he also estimated that he didn't have any drama this time, who let himself have no identification. The military academy is not a drama troupe, not everyone can speak effectively, but it depends on military discipline and school rules, which he understands.
Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction, personally walked to the student who was already stunned, took out a document and handed it to him, "Hello, I'm Zhang Shusheng." ”
"Report, report to the principal, Cai Mingzhong, the first class of the second grade, report to you."
Zhang Shusheng: "Give him a name first, I will personally send someone to Anhui Wuxian to verify, if what he said is true, and the origin is innocent, even if he passes." If what he says is false, even if he passes the exam, he will be disqualified from admission. ”
"Yes, Headmaster!"
"Thank you, Headmaster!" Dai Anlan's face was full of joy, and he also saluted a non-standard military salute in a similar manner.
"Well, I hope you won't let me down!"
After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, his mind surged and he left alone. If he can't remember many talents in the Republic of China, he remembers a person who was also named Dai Anlan in history. As long as it is not someone with the same name and nationality who is pretending to be him, this person in front of him will be a national hero who has participated in several bloody battles against Japan, taken the lead, and returned from the body of Ma Leather in Burma 20 years later.
"Perhaps, in the original history, you will all die blindly, because you do not have the advanced weapons in the hands of the devils, because you are much stronger than China. But I will make up for all my regrets for you, so that you will personally kill the devils one by one on the battlefield in the future, so that they don't even have a chance to go back to the horse leather shroud! ”

After writing this chapter in the cold, it was half past two o'clock. Although the fisherman knows that his strength is limited, he is really writing seriously and writing with all his might, which is too slow, and it took nearly 5 hours for a chapter including checking information. The large chapter of more than 5,000 words is another violation of the rules of the public version update. Looking at the collection and recommendation votes, just such a pitiful 100 votes, I really feel sad.
Are you really out of tickets?
Are people really reluctant to vote for the fishermen?
Are people really reluctant to encourage newcomers?
