Chapter 285: It's better to meet than to be famous
The exchange between the Chinese and US military academies is ready to begin, and the Taiwan military has entrusted Li Tao, director of the Taiwan office in Washington, and Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun, director of the military secretariat, to select instructors and cadets from the West Point Military Academy to go to Taiwan for further study and post. As for this Taiwanese office in Washington, this is actually a variant of a diplomatic embassy. After all, Taiwan and the United States do not have formal diplomatic relations, so they can only use this method to cover their ears and steal the bell. And that military secretariat, that is, a variant used as a military attaché abroad.
At present, Taiwan's Liaison Office for Friendship with Foreign Countries has dispatched so-called office directors to several major countries in the world, but at present, it is Britain, France, Russia, the United States, and Germany that are the five countries that have a certain status in the world, and Japan has not yet shown any signs of easing relations with Taiwan, so Taiwan has not sent any offices to the past. The current status of these five countries is almost the same, and the directors of the offices of Britain, France, Russia, the United States, and Germany are all at the level of the bureau level in the Liaison Office for Friendship with Foreign Countries, that is, Taiwan has added a level between the department level and the department level. Because Taiwan's territory has expanded, the corresponding level must also be appropriately upgraded. However, at present, Taiwan has not yet set up a minister, after all, it is not suitable to stimulate those Manchus too much. Therefore, a bureau director level was artificially set up between the department level and the department level, so that the capacity of the lower territory could be expanded and upgraded.
"Director Li Tao, Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun, welcome to our United States Military Academy at West Point." Ernst, the principal of the United States Military Academy at West Point, immediately said enthusiastically.
Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun also immediately said: "Your Excellency, we are here today so that we can have friendly exchanges between the two armies, and we hope that both sides can learn from each other's strengths. And our Taiwan Governor Wang Guorui also praised the West Point Military Academy very much, saying that the West Point Military Academy is the world's first-class military academy and one of the best military schools in the world. I hope that we, the soldiers, can come and study hard and learn something. ”
And when Principal Ernst heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, because this is really unusual for the governor of the Taiwanese army, who is currently well-known in the world. You must know that the top military leaders all over the world are trying their best to learn from Wang Guorui's improved trench warfare, and this kind of trench warfare must be the mainstream development in the future. Therefore, Ernst also thinks that Wang Guorui must be a great military strategist. And now Wang Guorui actually took the initiative to praise West Point Military Academy, praising West Point Military Academy as one of the best military schools in the world, which made Principal Ernst feel that his face was bright.
"Please Director Li Tao and Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun to review our school's honor guard!" Ernst said.
When Li Tao and Jian Xiaochun began to review the honor guard at West Point. And Li Tao frowned and whispered: "There is a false appearance!" ”
Li Tao really doesn't think about this honor guard at West Point, because there is no momentum in this honor guard at all, there is no so-called murderous spirit at all, it seems that it is obviously composed of a group of ordinary actors. Actors and guard of honor. Although there are some things in common, the honor guard is a soldier after all, but these cadets of the West Point Military Academy are so actors, and they do not have the temperament of a so-called soldier, which makes Jian Xiaochun scold for nothing. If it weren't for the sake of taking care of the face of friends, I'm afraid I would have scolded people directly.
And the current honor guard of this West Point Military Academy cannot be compared with Taiwan's honor guard at all. Taiwan's honor guard is composed of veterans who have been on the battlefield, so they are murderous one by one, and they are obviously not weak at all. And this honor guard of West Point looks like a group of actors who are not murderous. Although it seems that it is really like that, it is obviously not taken seriously in front of Jian Xiaochun, an officer. I am afraid that a new recruit unit in Taiwan will have a better queue than them, and its momentum will be more majestic than theirs.
"Please Director Li Tao and Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun to review our cadet team!" Principal Ernst said.
Li Tao and Jian Xiaochun slowly came to the cadet team of the West Point Military Academy, and then hundreds of academy companies were about one company, and there was an instructor in front of each company who was performing the table. And the back are all teams composed of cadets, and these hundreds of soldiers are the military academy team of West Point.
And Jian Xiaochun looked at the cadets of this military academy, just looking at this momentum made Jian Xiaochun shake his head, and then Jian Xiaochun came to a cadet. Then he looked at him, and finally reached out to help him button his clothes. Because this guy's military uniform button is actually wrong.
And the cadet who was helped by Jian Xiaochun to sort out his military uniform immediately turned red, like a monkey's ass. Apparently embarrassed by this situation, and embarrassed abroad. Let foreigners see their disgrace. After all, the Americans also claim to be great powers, but their cadets are all like this, which makes Jian Xiaochun very speechless.
"Is this really your American Military Academy at West Point?" Jian Xiaochun immediately asked Ernst.
Ernst's face was the same as that of a monkey's ass, and he was very speechless about the question. Just now, Jian Xiaochun himself praised them as the world's first-class military school, but now this situation makes them feel that Jian Xiaochun is praising them, and this is simply ironic. If it's at the current level. can be called the world's first-class military school, which is simply an insult to the military. Ernst felt a little ashamed that he was the principal of the military academy.
"It's better to be famous than to meet! This is actually Lord Wang boasting for them, boasting about West Point, the world's first-class military school? But Erl! Jian Xiaochun said very politely.
And Jian Xiaochun really doesn't understand, Wang Guorui actually said many times in front of the whole army that the United States West Point Military Academy is the world's first-class military school, and even often praises the spirit of West Point in front of middle and senior officers, but now the spirit of West Point? What a fart! Jian Xiaochun really wanted to scold, the West Point Military Academy that Wang Guorui praised so hard was such a tattered, which really made Wang Guorui lower his level in his strict zhòng. And Jian Xiaochun also thought that Wang Guorui was clumsy, and actually called such a rotten military school the world's first-class military school.
"Lieutenant Colonel Jian Xiaochun, we don't have a war in the United States at the moment, so it's inevitable that there will be some ......," Ernst said.
"I see!" Jian Xiaochun said.
Jian Xiaochun finally understood why, because the United States has no opponents, especially in the Americas, there are no rivals, and there are no strong countries in the Americas, which makes the American military have a very strict slack mentality. And this kind of atmosphere has also been brought to military schools, so military cadets in the United States also carry it like this.
At present, in the United States, the Monroe Doctrine is prevalent, and they live very comfortably in the Americas, and there is no opponent who can influence them. The European world will not be able to pose much of a threat to them, and in this case, no matter how strong the army can be, and the military schools will naturally not look good. And their opponents are some Indians, and some Native Americans, who are simply not a threat to them. Compared with the United States in later generations, which had many strategic interests in the world, the United States in this era lived too comfortably.
It seems that it is inevitable that we will be born in sorrow and die in peace. Though the kingdom is great, the belligerent will perish. Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Your West Point is like this, it seems that we are really better off meeting each other. Our Governor Wang has helped you to brag in front of us officers, but you are like this, is that worthy of the praise of our Governor Wang? Jian Xiaochun asked.
Jian Xiaochun walked all the way, but when he played the last team, he had a strange situation on his face. This team is completely different from other teams, this team is very neat, obviously a very perfect team. And Jian Xiaochun also felt a little strange, the other teams were very lazy, but this team was very strict. And the most important thing is that momentum, the momentum of this team is very good, it looks like it has a military temperament, this is what surprises Jian Xiaochun. And then, Jian Xiaochun took the initiative to come to this team, and then saw that the clothes of this team were not only neat, but also the leather shoes were polished, which made Jian Xiaochun feel surprised.
Because the clothes of this team are neat and tidy, Cheng Dù and Cheng Dù, as well as the requirements for military appearance and military style, are also extremely harsh. And the military appearance and military style of this team are neat and tidy, which is better than that of the Taiwan army, which makes Jian Xiaochun feel surprised. You must know that the US ** team is now a group of very lazy soldiers, and the US army cannot be compared with later generations at all, and the US ** team can really fight, that is during World War I. The U.S. ** team before World War I was simply vulnerable. And the reason why they were able to defeat Germany was because the Germans had already gone through the world war and were very exhausted by the consumption of France and England. That's why the United States picked it up. If the U.S. ** team goes to the battlefield at the beginning, then I am afraid that the performance will not be very flattering. And the United States only really caught military discipline and so on after the First World War, otherwise they would not even be able to fight trench warfare.
And now he actually saw such a personable army cube, which made Jian Xiaochun feel surprised.
"What's your name?" Jian Xiaochun asked the second lieutenant who was almost twice his age, because he was the leader instructor of this team.
"Report sir, my name is Joseph Pershing!" (To be continued.) )
