At the end of the graduation ceremony, Wu Haoxuan, as the principal, personally presented the certificates of completion to the students. At the same time, the cadets also swore allegiance to the Jilin Army and the Overseers. It's also a way to show loyalty.

The graduation ceremony did not end until noon, and the military academy specially prepared a sumptuous lunch in the cafeteria, and entertained these cadets with good wine and food. After all, they are leaving here today and returning to the troops. In the future, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come back here.

"Fellow students, you are all the elites of my Jilin Army, I, Wu Xingquan, thank you for your contributions to the strength of the Jilin Army, and I hope that you can achieve greater results in the future. Cheers everybody! Before lunch began, Wu Xingquan toasted the cadets of the military academy on behalf of the Jilin Governor's Office.

"Xie Dashuai!" The students drank all the wine in their glasses.

Next, it's time for everyone to eat. Wu Xingquan and the others did not stay in the military academy for too long, their status was too high, and if they were here, they would make people feel constrained. So, they just had a hasty meal and left. Only Wu Haoxuan stayed.

After Wu Xingquan and the others left, the atmosphere in the cafeteria really became more enthusiastic. The students toasted each other to Wu Haoxuan. Although Wu Haoxuan is younger than many of them. But Wu Haoxuan's ability, as well as his ambition, made these students very admired. They can't help but regard Wu Haoxuan as their idol.

For these students who came to toast, Wu Haoxuan also did not refuse. This made him, who was already not good at drinking, soon get drunk and was sent directly to the office to rest. The students began to toast the other vice-principals and faculty members. At the time of training, they were trainees and had different identities. Today, they have finished their studies, so naturally they have to be much more open.

The lunch lasted for two or three hours before it ended. Most of these students were very drunk, and the two vice principals, Yan Yuchun and Bruce, were also drunk. The soldiers were already very arrogant, and when they were drinking, this was especially prominent.

When Wu Haoxuan woke up, it was already afternoon, and this was the first time he had been drunk, so that it made him have a splitting headache. It was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't care. He knew that if he wanted these officers in the army to be convinced of him, he had to do a good job. In fact, the students were indeed very satisfied with Wu Haoxuan's expression. Wu Haoxuan did not stand tall because of his identity, but mingled with them, and did not even deliberately block the wine because of his small amount of alcohol. This is undoubtedly treating everyone as if they were their own people.

Huzi handed over a large cup of cold white boiling, and Wu Haoxuan felt better after drinking it.

"Beard, go see if Principal Yan and Principal Bruce are there? I have something to discuss with them. Wu Haoxuan rubbed his head.

"Okay, young marshal!" Huzi nodded and turned to leave.

A few minutes later, Yan Yuchun and Bruce appeared in Wu Haoxuan's office. The faces of the two were also a little red, and they were full of alcohol, obviously drinking a lot of wine during the day. It's just that the two of them drink a lot more than Wu Haoxuan, so they are not as wolf as him.

"Young marshal, do you want to take a rest first? What else can we find time for? Yan Yuchun saw Wu Haoxuan's appearance and took the initiative to say.

Wu Haoxuan waved his hand: "Let's talk about it now, the next thing will be busy." ”

It's already March, and in another month, the weather will be warmer. At that time, a new plan for the Jilin Army will be launched. And Wu Haoxuan, as the commander of the Jilin Army, will also shift his focus to that. The energy placed on the side of the military academy is much smaller.

"I am very satisfied with the fact that the first batch of graduates are all good, which means that the preliminary work of our military academy is very successful. Next, the second batch of training will be launched. I hope that the training in the military academy can be normalized. Starting this year, the number of our troops will skyrocket, and the demand for officers at all levels will also increase a lot. Therefore, the task of the military school will also be heavy. Wu Haoxuan said.

Yan Yuchun and Bruce both nodded, as the vice principal of the military academy, they can be regarded as the top leaders of the Jilin Army, so they naturally know that the Jilin Army will make a big move this year. After the arrival of spring, the Jilin Army will first start a war with Cheng Dequan entrenched in Heilongjiang, defeat Cheng Dequan, and after controlling Heilongjiang, it will launch a large-scale anti-bandit operation to wipe out all the beards in Jilin and Heilongjiang. In this process, the Jilin Army will also carry out a new round of expansion. The bearded men of the captured Guò were recruited, and several additional infantry divisions were formed. According to the most conservative estimate, the Jilin Army's current three infantry divisions and one instructor will be expanded to seven infantry divisions and one instructor. If the shape is favorable, I am afraid that there will be more expanded troops. Naturally, more officers will be needed.

"Young marshal, the second phase of training will start next month. In this case, the second training session will be completed at the end of September. In this way, we will have a few hundred more junior and middle-ranking officers. Yan Yuchun said.

"Maybe we won't be able to wait until the end of September. In the first phase of training, we summed up a lot of experience, and in the second phase of training, we can avoid many detours. In addition, winter is over, and spring and summer are more conducive to training. Therefore, the second training may be completed in four months. If you speed it up a bit, it might only take three months. In this way, by the end of September, we will be able to complete two training sessions and train more than 1,000 mid- and low-ranking officers. Bruce said. He is the main focus of teaching in military schools, and he undoubtedly has more say in this regard.

"Really? That's great. Wu Haoxuan was very happy. Originally, he was still having a headache, and if the army continued to expand in size, it would lead to a shortage of officers. If two batches of training can be completed by the end of September, then all the problems can be solved.

"Yes. However, short-term training does not really equip them with the knowledge that an officer needs. I'm afraid this will be detrimental to their later growth. Bruce was a little worried.

Wu Haoxuan nodded: "I know, but there is no way to do it in a hurry." When the situation calms down, they can be trained as mid- and high-ranking officers. ”

"In addition, I plan to expand the military academy and find a way to recruit more instructors from other military schools in China and military schools abroad. It can be found among retired Army officers in the United States and Germany. In this way, we will be able to train more officers every year. In the future, the military academy will become a three-year regular military academy. Recruit students from young people in the Northeast and even the whole country. Strive to establish a top military academy in the country. ”

Yan Yuchun and Bruce were both a little excited, how great it would be if they could build a truly top military school! As the founders of military schools, they will naturally go down in history.

After explaining the expansion of the military academy and other matters, Wu Haoxuan returned to the Overseer's Mansion. He was full of alcohol, which made his wife Ma Jiahui very dissatisfied and gave him several blank eyes.

Although Wu Haoxuan and Ma Jiahui belong to an arranged marriage, they have not been in love. However, in the past few months, the two have been able to respect each other, which is very commendable.

has been married for almost three months, and the relationship between Wu Haoxuan and Ma Jiahui has become more and more stable, and the two have directly crossed the lovers and become family members. Especially Ma Jiahui's stomach bulged, which made Wu Haoxuan feel a lot of guilt. After all, although in this day and age this is quite a normal thing. But Wu Haoxuan always thinks that this is still a little girl who is less than fifteen years old!

Wu Haoxuan's mother, Shi, was very satisfied. She had wanted to hold her grandson for a long time. Wu Xingquan was also very happy, although he was only in his forties. However, in this day and age, it is already very common for people to be grandfathers at this age.

As we enter April, the weather starts to get warmer. The whole of Jilin has also been busy, and the construction of Changchun's industrial base has begun, and a series of heavy industrial factories such as steel plants, chemical plants, machinery factories, and cement factories have been started. This makes the suburbs of Changchun a huge construction site.

Similarly, the Jilin Army also took action, and the instructors, the 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division of the Jilin Army began to conduct emergency training before the war. The 3rd Infantry Division of the Jilin Army has already entered a state of imminent battle.

Wu Haoxuan also rushed from Jilin to Binjiang with his guards in early April. After the beginning of spring, the troops under the command of Heilongjiang general Cheng Dequan began to assemble in Binjiang, intending to destroy the army of the Ma family father and son in one fell swoop and drive them out of Heilongjiang completely.

It's just that because it is not easy to transmit news in the ice and snow, and because of the intentional blockade of Jilin, Cheng Dequan does not know that the army in Binjiang is no longer the army of the Ma family and his son, and the army here has been reorganized into the 3rd Infantry Division of the Jilin Army. The division has more than 18,000 people, and through a winter of training, the combat effectiveness has been basically formed. Although it cannot be regarded as a strong army in a hundred battles, it is no problem to deal with the patrol battalion under the command of Cheng Dequan.

After Wu Haoxuan arrived at Binjiang, he first met with Ma Tengxi and his son. After all, Ma Tengxi is now his father-in-law. Ma Zihui and Ma Zijie are also his brothers-in-law. Even the relationship between the Wu family and the Ma family did not improve much because of his marriage to Ma Jiahui. However, everyone is a family after all.

After coming out of Ma's house, Wu Haoxuan went directly to the barracks of the 3rd Infantry Division. With the arrival of Cheng Dequan's forward troops in Binjiang, a big battle has begun.
