Chapter 184: The Berlin Military Academy
Chapter 184: Military Academy of Berlin
In the days of waiting, Tang Qiuli was very leisurely, he took Xiaoling, Battelle and Bai Luoyu, and traveled all over the places of interest near Berlin, in his opinion, the Germans are a strict and meticulous people, they generally abide by the rules and regulations, and their speech and demeanor are slightly restrained and rigid.
His idea is to let Battle and Bai Luoyu become familiar with and integrate into this society as much as possible, Bai Luoyu is okay, after all, she received a Western-style education before this, except for the language, there are not many other problems, plus this little girl is smart, intelligent, and has strong comprehension ability, and can quickly enter the role.
What worries Tang Qiuli is Battell, this little guy still doesn't feel anything, for the German qiē, the word can be described as "not accustomed", all the qiē is not used to it.
No, everyone is tired of playing, go to the restaurant to eat, facing the steak, he was shocked, "Brother, the beef made in this place is raw, I want to eat hand-handled mutton" Tang Qiuli almost folded from the chair, a steak choked in his throat, Xiaoling helped him knock on the back for a long time before going down, and Battle looked at him innocently, and kindly reminded him that raw things can't be eaten.
This made him worried, his younger brother could not quickly adapt to the society in Germany, and could not integrate into the society here, which would be a big obstacle to his future studies.
Especially the young man's temperament, intentionally or unintentionally compete with this little girl everywhere, Battle himself is a person who does not admit defeat, and the tenacious and persistent personality of the ancestors of the Mongolian nation has been deeply immersed in his blood.
For Tang Qiuli, this is tantamount to discovering a new world, he secretly told Bai Luoyu and handed over the task of transforming and helping Battle to her, for Brother Tang's orders, the little girl naturally carried out it very thoroughly.
So, from time to time, you can hear the quarrels between these two people, and most of the results are that Battle surrendered, and slowly, this stubborn boy has also changed a lot, and he is no longer used to watching it.
Tang Qiuli also read a lot of books about German history, and he was full of curiosity about this nation, whether it was the Teutonic knights, Prussia, or the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck, the legendary chief of staff Moltke, the hero of the German World War I Field Marshal Hindenburg, to today's famous Führer Adolf in Germany. Hitler.
There is a kind of expansion in the bones of this nation, they always want to see what the scenery on the other side of the sea is like, probably, with the sword in their hands, for the plow of the Germanic people, to find enough land, such a creed, has been deeply infiltrated into the bones of this nation.
If there is a chance, Tang Qiuli really wants to get to know Adolf, who was regarded as a national hero by the German people before the war. Hitler was also very excited to meet today's influential figures who were nearly a hundred years away from him.
During this period, he received good news: Qiuquan, who was in charge of the overall situation in Tianjin, sent him a transoceanic telegram, reporting that he had found a place very suitable for the future settlement and development of the troops in the Taihang Mountains at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi, and that he would wait for him to return from Europe and make a curious on-the-spot survey.
In addition, Akiizumi also said in the telegram the situation of the troops, and now the troops are still repairing at the base, the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army have entered the northeast one after another, and the commander of the Kwantung Army, Minamijiro, has formed the rapid reaction force of the Kwantung Army on the basis of the additional troops.
With a total strength of about 150,000 troops, in the areas of the Great and Small Khing'an Mountains and the Changbai Mountains, they actively searched for the main forces of the Bloody Hand Regiment and forced them to fight a decisive battle.
After the search failed, they turned their attention to the anti-union forces, and in many areas, fierce battles broke out on both sides, and the anti-union forces suffered losses and were forced to make a strategic shift.
This situation was beyond Tang Qiuli's expectations, in history, the Kwantung Army during this period did not have any major military operations, and it was the heyday of the Anti-United Nations Forces.
At this stage, it is better not to engage in large-scale combat with the Japanese army, and a small group of elite troops can be sent to carry out uninterrupted harassment and attacks on the Japanese army, attract the attention of the devils, and support the anti-United Nations forces from the side, so as to reduce the pressure on them.
In addition, Qiu Quan was asked to tell the commanders at the base that he would return to China as soon as possible, that the Chinese form would be heavily transformed, and that the materials and equipment in the northeast would be gradually transferred to North China.
Because the transoceanic telegrams exchanged between the two sides were all sent in accordance with the code words compiled by Tang Qiuli in advance, they did not worry about leaking secrets or exposing Tang Qiuli's identity at all, even if someone got the draft of these telegrams, they were confused and did not know what to do.
The day of school finally came, early in the morning, Xiao Ling got up to prepare a hearty breakfast for Battle and Bai Luoyu, and the mountain tigers also got up early, and when they got into the car, the little guy Bartel also cried, which made the iron man of the mountain tiger also burst into tears.
Not to mention Bai Luoyu, the little girl was already delicate, and she got along with Xiaoling like a sister, hugging Xiaoling and crying bitterly, it was the old man Zhu Zixuan who kindly comforted the two young people to stop their crying.
When they got in the car, the two of them turned back frequently, reluctant to give up, Tang Qiuli's heart was also sour, these two children will live in a strange country from now on, and they have to rely on their own efforts and struggles.
He insisted on driving them in person and sent them to the Berlin Military Academy, and when they arrived at the gate of the academy, Tang Qiuli was stopped by the guards, and after strictly checking the various documents of Battle and Bai Luoyu, they were taken in by a sergeant.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, gradually disappearing into a complex of antique European-style buildings, Tang Qiuli's heart suddenly had a feeling of emptiness, and his eyes moistened for no reason.
Among the officers who entered and exited through the gate of the academy, he found several officers dressed in SS uniforms, and aside from the mission of the SS and what he did later, in all fairness, Tang Qiuli always believed that among the military uniforms of various countries, the SS military uniforms were the most beautiful and mighty.
A solemn, solemn black, with solemnity and coercion, red armbands, black and red, different colors but harmonious unity, all kinds of ornaments, the military uniform is shining, an ordinary person, wearing this military uniform, immediately refreshed, vibrant, solemn and majestic.
Tang Qiuli secretly made up his mind that after returning to China, he would start to study the ranks and symbols of his troops, and the reference was the SS uniforms he saw today, which was conducive to the management of the troops, and could stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers and the sense of collective honor and belonging, and also gave the soldiers a clear promotion channel and direction.
Of course, to be fundamentally different from them, more oriental colors, and reflect his own characteristics, he does not want to be regarded by the Chinese as the leader of the Nazi party, Adolf. Hitler's admirer, if that is the case, he will not want to mix up in China, and in the future battlefield, I am afraid that he will not be encircled and suppressed by the armies of both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, let alone Britain and the United States.
At the beginning of the 19th century, under the influence of Napoleon's French military system, the Prussian army established the first military academy in Berlin in 1810 to train senior staff officers, that is, the "German Academy" in Berlin, the first president was the Prussian military strategist Scharnhorst, and Clausewitz, the author of "On War", also served as the principal of the school for 12 years.
His writings have influenced the strategic theory and tactical guiding ideology of the European continent, and even changed the way warfare is conducted.
The school's tradition is not confined to theory and dogma, emphasizing the combination of theory and practice, paying more attention to the ability of practical application, encouraging students to dare to break dogma, the school's free debate style, and innovative thinking atmosphere and strong, therefore, the students who graduate here are not nerds full of theory.
If we ignore the justice and injustice of the war, in terms of military quality and command art alone, the officers trained by the Berlin Military Academy have galloped across the battlefields of the two world wars, invincible, made many achievements, played the art of command, and played to the fullest, creating a large number of famous generals with great prestige.
During World War I and World War II, the generals from the Berlin Military Academy, among whom the representative figure was, von ? Rundstedt (Field Marshal), Commander of Army Group South; Feng? Brauchitsch (Field Marshal), Commander-in-Chief of the German Army; Hugo? Speer (Air Marshal), Commander of the German Third Air Force; Feng? Manstein (Field Marshal), Commander of the German Army Group Don; Feng? Krueger (Field Marshal), Commander of Army Group Center; Feng? Qu Hillel (Field Marshal), Commander of Army Group North of Germany; Feng? Kleist (Field Marshal), Commander of German Army Group A.
This is also the reason why Tang Qiuli chose this place as a place for Bartel and Bai Luoyu to study, here, he hopes that what they will learn is not only military technology and military skills, but also the temperament and spirit of a soldier, and more importantly, strategic vision.
He could not leave Germany for the time being, and to be honest, he was still a little uneasy about Battle, during which time he met twice with His Excellency the Captain, and it seemed that the captain was in good spirits, probably on happy occasions.
The captain sued him that the matter of the claim had already been brought to an eye, and that the case had been accepted by the court, and that a preliminary trial had been conducted, and that everything had developed in their favor, and when he said this, the captain's eyebrows fluttered, and he probably thought of the ten percent of the benefit fee.
The two old foxes, who treat the Japanese as ATMs, toasted together, smiled tacitly, and drank it all.
