Chapter 131

Late at night, I got off the train from Pukou, boarded the China Merchants River Ferry "Jiang Heng", and went up the river. This is a new steamer, which, according to the people on board, is a steamer that has been in service for less than a month, 5,000 tons, and is produced by the Sino-German joint venture Jiangnan Shipyard.

All the way south and west, the whole process was not pleasant for Wu Peifu. As a defeated person, Wu Peifu was not convinced, especially after visiting the personnel and equipment of the special operations brigade, no matter how he looked at the cold rain, it was not pleasing to the eye. Again, it's not a crime of war!

The southbound train was to transport the wounded to Xuzhou, and when Wu Peifu learned that it included the wounded of the Beiyang Army, he knew that it would be difficult for Beiyang to turn over. In fact, when he was in Jinan, the most news Wu Peifu heard was the 131st chapter of the military discipline of the National Defense Force.

Autumn is not guilty! This is simply unimaginable for the Beiyang Army. Wu Peifu asked a soldier who was in charge of standing guard for the captured officer, how could they bear the strict military discipline of the Wehrmacht? The young soldier looked at him like an idiot, took out a pamphlet from his pocket and said, "Give it back to me after reading!" ”

This booklet is called the "Soldier's Handbook", and the front is the various disciplines required to be observed, the middle is the level of punishment according to the severity of the disciplinary violation, and the back is a blank page recording the indiscipline of the soldier. Those who have three or more major demerits recorded will be expelled from the Wehrmacht. Violations of discipline with aggravating circumstances may be brought before a military court and punishable by up to death.

Wu Peifu still didn't understand after reading it, and after returning the manual, he asked the young soldier: "What's so good about being a soldier?" Expulsion is expulsion? The young soldier again looked at him with an idiot in the eyes and disdainfully explained: "You will know when you get to the autonomous region later." ”

Because of this sentence. Wu Peifu is full of curiosity about Wuhu, the birthplace of the autonomous region. As a northerner, Wu Peifu has never been to Wuhu. When the boat arrived in Wuhu, it was early in the morning, and the Yangtze River was foggy, and it was difficult to see the scenery on the pier clearly.

I can't see clearly, but I can hear it. The docks are full of people. It's very lively, it's definitely Chapter 131. When the river ship docked, Wu Peifu was finally able to look at the wharf up close, and the most eye-catching thing was naturally six or seven huge mechanical cranes. Cargo is being loaded onto the freighter continuously. There was no shortage of coolie workers on the docks, but they loaded small boats and even wooden boats. Wu Peifu stopped one of the sailors on the ship and asked, "Where are these ships going?" ”

The sailor glanced at the dense cargo ships on the dock. smiled: "This big brother is the first time to come to Wuhu, right?" Wu Peifu nodded, handed over a cigarette, the sailor took it with a smile, glanced at the ear, and said with a smile: "Now along the Yangtze River, who doesn't know that Wuhu goods are good?" Good quality and low price. These are all ships that come to load, and when you arrive in Wuhu, you will know what an industrial zone is, and all of them are factories within a radius of 100 miles. ”

The sailor smiled and left, but Wu Peifu was stunned by the so-called saying that it was a hundred miles away. Isn't Wuhu a small wharf? It's really hard to say whether the statement of a hundred miles is true or not, anyway, you'll know when you see it.

"Ziyu!" Chen Yan appeared with the two soldiers who were responsible for sending them to Wuhu, as the two specially approved by Fang Jianxiong. Naturally, it is on the road alone. Wu Peifu has a temperament, and Chen Eun is also very arrogant, and the two have not dealt with each other very well, even if they are companions, they don't have much communication.

"I got you the luggage!" Chen Yan handed over a box, and Wu Peifu took the rattan box. A little stiffly said, "Thank you." ”

Chen Eun didn't speak, and after glancing at him silently, he got off the boat with his suitcase, and the two soldiers followed one after the other, and they didn't mean to talk to them much. On this trip south, they are free to move around while in the car or on the boat. Only when the stopped train ship docked did the soldiers follow.

In fact, the two soldiers are more of a guide and service provider for these two. These two soldiers didn't even wear guns. Disembarking with two soldiers behind, the benefits are obvious. On the dock, in the crowd, people always gave way to the soldiers very kindly, treating the two soldiers with smiles and warm eyes.

The young soldiers, with their chins slightly raised, walked with their backs straight. The soldier in charge of Wu Peifu is called Ah Ming, a native of Wuhu, Wu Peifu didn't take care of other people's families along the way, and the young soldiers didn't take the initiative to take care of Wu Peifu. The two get along like passers-by, and even Wu Peifu can see contempt in the eyes of the young man. Probably this is the reason why Wu Peifu is unhappy.

Out of the fence gate of the wharf, there are many rickshaws soliciting passengers outside. Ah Ming stepped forward and called two cars over, and after beckoning Wu Peifu to get into his car, he said to the driver: "Go to the Army University." ”

When the coachman heard these four words, he immediately showed an admiring expression and said, "Is the little brother a student there?" It's not easy to take the exam there, and my relative's kid didn't take the exam last year, so he decided to continue applying for the exam this year. ”

"I'm on escort!" Amin puffed out his chest proudly, and immediately exchanged more admiring eyes. There are prerequisites for being a soldier to escort Lu Da. First of all, you must at least graduate from high school, and secondly, you must have a second-class merit or above on the battlefield.

The coachman looked at Ah Ming's chest, and said with an envious expression: "Tsk, it turned out to be a soldier who made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and I sat down with you." The rickshaw driver worked very hard, and when he arrived at the sentry at the gate of Lu University, when Ah Ming got out of the car to pay, the rickshaw driver pushed back and said with a smile: "You shed blood for the people on the battlefield, I can't take this money." ”

Ah Ming raised his chest higher, and said with a straight face: "This big brother, you are also a local, you know the discipline of the National Defense Army, don't harm me." The coachman accepted the money, and Wu Peifu glanced at Ah Ming's chest and found no medals.

The pride on the young soldier's face was obvious, when he walked to the sentry first and saluted and handed over the certificate, the sentry looked at the certificate and handed it back, glanced at Wu Peifu and Chen Eun, and said with a smile: "The two brothers have seen the handsome?" ”

Ah Ming showed a hint of shyness, and his young face was shiny because of excitement, and said with a smile: "The handsome man has received the honor!" ”

"Now you guys are mixed up, Lu Da's intermediate class, and you are the company commander when you come out. Medals are sent home, and all kinds of taxes can be reduced. I really envy you for being able to go to the battlefield to fight and make meritorious contributions! The sentinel's eyes were red with envy, Wu Peifu looked at it from the side, how could these soldiers want to go to the battlefield to fight, and the war will kill people.

Chen Yan also had the same question on the side, and said casually: "What if you die in battle?" ”

The sentry glanced at him and said coldly: "The National Defense Force is different from the Beiyang Army, the families of the fallen soldiers have pensions, and those who have brothers can apply for exemption from service in the future. What you can do is to arrange a job with a good income. If the family is rural, the land is exempt, and there is a subsidy for the New Year's holiday. ”

Chen Yan was not angry, and smiled at the sentry: "This brother, I personally wrote a letter of introduction from Marshal Fang to study at Lu University, and I was indeed in the Beiyang Army before, and we will all be a family in the future." ”

The sentry didn't talk nonsense to him, and cleaned up, "Go in." There was also a soldier who didn't follow up, and turned around and left after saying a few words to Ah Ming at the door, Wu Peifu waited until he entered the door and asked, "Brother Ah Ming, why did he leave?" ”

"You said Ah Xiong, he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives. It's a pity that this time he made a third-class merit, and he didn't go to school. Otherwise, he could enter Lu University, and after visiting relatives, he could only go to Wuhan Non-commissioned Officer School to study for half a year, and graduated as a platoon commander in the lower army. "The young man has to answer all questions, Wu Peifu can be regarded as figuring out a matter, Fang Jianxiong has no worries about them taking the opportunity to run away. That is to say, if you are willing to go, you can leave, and if you are willing to stay, you will stay. In other words, it doesn't carry as much weight as you guessed.

Wu Peifu was somewhat disappointed, and followed Ah Ming to the Academic Affairs Office, where an officer received them. After reading the letter of introduction, he said with a smile: "Wu Peifu and Chen Huan, you can take an exam, and if you pass the results, you can study in the short-term senior officer class of Lu University for three months, and you can also choose to audit." If you are an auditor, you don't have a graduation certificate, so you can leave at any time. ”

Chen Yan was not happy when he heard this, and sneered: "What, do you think we can't pass the test?" I was admitted to all the non-commissioned officer schools in Japan, and my graduation results were not bad. ”

The receiving officer gave a cold look back and said, "What tactical changes does the Japanese Army have?" Something that is the same, sooner or later, let the Japanese know how powerful our defense forces are. You're here, it's best not to take your Japanese Lushi seriously, our Japanese Lushi has been going back and forth a lot after graduation. There are not five hundred, but four hundred. ”

Chen Eun's face was red when he was said, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute it, after all, he didn't know what was taught here. Thinking that he heard that there were a lot of German instructors here, Chen Yan endured it first, and then said goodbye after passing the exam.

Wu Peifu has not been angry, but he is also unconvinced, holding his breath, and plans to show these people something in the exam, so as not to underestimate them.

"I'll take the test!" Wu Peifu burst out, and the officer glanced at the letter of introduction and said with a smile: "That's okay, I wrote it down." You have two days to prepare for the exam the morning after tomorrow. By the way, I'll give you a letter of introduction, and you can go to the military guest house to stay after you go out. ”

Chen Yan also said angrily: "I also signed up for the exam." The two of them went through the registration procedures, came out before and after, stopped a rickshaw, and said that they would go to the military guest house. As a result, the coachman glanced at their military uniforms and said lightly: "One dollar!" ”

Chen Yan was anxious when he heard this: "It's only two corners from the dock just now." The coachman sneered: "If you don't sit and pull down, I don't want to pull you yet." What is the spirit? Defeated generals! ”rs！！！
