Chapter 44: The Road of Iron Blood (Ask for Collection)

PS: The second update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes! Thank you for the book friend's furious song, Cang. Hao's monthly pass!

Winter goes to spring, when the cold winter passes, the white mountains and black waters gradually wake up from the cold winter. It's March 1906, although the snow hasn't completely melted. However, the shadow of spring is already looming.

The Jilin Army Military Academy held a graduation ceremony for the first batch of accelerated officers in early March, and hundreds of officers at all levels have completed their studies at the military academy and will return to their respective units. They learn in military schools to train their troops to defeat powerful enemies on the battlefield.

Although, the first phase of the training of accelerated officers is only a few months, and it is less than half a year. However, these months of arduous training have brought earth-shaking changes to these officers. Originally, these officers were basically halfway monks, and none of them had received theoretical military studies at all. When commanding a war, it is more based on the experience cultivated in the past. As a result, they will have a big misunderstanding when directing operations. And if these misunderstandings are not handled well, it is very likely that the troops will pay heavy losses.

The theoretical study of the Tongguò system, as well as the subsequent improvement training, made up for the shortcomings of the officers in this regard. Although compared to those who have been in battle for a long time, these officers may still be a little young. However, it is foreseeable that after repeated tests of blood and fire, they will eventually grow into elites.

This was only the first phase of training officers, and soon, the second phase of training officers arrived. In the first phase of training, the military academy will also sum up some experience, so that the next batch of officers can be better trained.

"Congratulations, fellow students, the vast majority of you have graduated with honors. Today, you will leave the military academy and return to your respective units. I hope that you will be able to use the knowledge you have learned in the military academy to train the troops, command the troops, and build a strong army for a hundred battles. At the graduation ceremony, Wu Haoxuan, the principal of the military academy, delivered a speech for all the cadets.

Among the hundreds of students, 95 percent of them passed the final exam, and only a very small number of people who did not want to make progress did not. Those who pass the final exams will return to their respective units as officers of the lower middle ranks. And those who didn't pass the guò exam, they still have one last chance. That is, with the next batch of trainees, to receive another training. If they are not able to pass the guò exam in the next training, they will have to be transferred to the active army.

The cadets were full of emotion, and they gained a lot from the military academy life for several months. Many people recognize their own shortcomings, which makes them study hard in military schools to improve their abilities. These people will become the backbone of the Jilin Army in the future. However, compared with the Jilin Army, which has now grown to four infantry divisions and a total strength of more than 70,000 troops, the number of these hundreds of cadets is still too rare.

Of course, if you want to eat a big fat person in one bite, it is impossible, you have to take it step by step. Wu Haoxuan knows that he has made a good start now, and he only needs to follow the original plan and go on step by step.

In his speech, Wu Haoxuan not only mentioned his blessings and hopes for the students, but also mentioned the difficulties that Jilin is now facing. He made no secret of the fact that Japan and Russia, as well as Yuan Shikai of Yanjing City, were the future enemies of Jilin. He wanted the cadets to know that their future enemies were strong. However, he hopes that these students will rise to the challenge and strive to defeat strong enemies in the future.

Wu Haoxuan's words made many students fall into contemplation. Wu Haoxuan, the principal, also comes to the school from time to time, in addition to some strategic and tactical courses he teaches, there is also the international situation and Wu Haoxuan's understanding of the rise of the country and the nation.

In these lessons, Wu Haoxuan pointed out that in order for China to survive the current crisis, it must overthrow the Manchu rule and establish a new state. As soldiers, they will become the backbone of the country and the nation, holding up a piece of the sky for the entire nation.

Wu Haoxuan bluntly said that if China wants to rise, it can only rely on iron and blood. Iron represents iron and steel, but also represents industry, as long as the development of industry, the development of science and technology, can be strong China. And blood represents the army, it represents war and sacrifice. The duty of a soldier is to sacrifice for the country and the nation, and to use his life to win greater interests for the country and the nation.

Wu Haoxuan's remarks caused a great uproar in the hearts of these officers. Today's China has been weak for a long time. Countless people with lofty ideals want to save the whole country. However, there is simply no set of effective methods. From the initial "mastering to control the country", to the later "Westernization Movement", and then to learning from Japan in an all-round way. These paths have not only failed to make China stronger, but have also made China weaker and weaker. From this, it can be seen that these roads simply do not work.

Now, Wu Haoxuan has reintroduced his own ideas, which quickly made these young officers agree. After all, young people are enthusiastic and can easily resonate. If you were to replace those whose edges and corners have been smoothed, maybe there wouldn't be so much blood.

In the minds of these young officers, Wu Haoxuan has become everyone's idol and a savior who can lead China to prosperity and strength. Although, this is a cult of personality. However, this is exactly what Wu Haoxuan wants. He must first establish his prestige among the officers, so that he can control the powerful force, and only then can he have enough strength to make the whole country and nation have a unified voice.

What are the consequences of 400 million Chinese thinking in one place and working hard in one place? I'm afraid, the whole world will be shocked by it!

Of course, it's too early to say this, Wu Haoxuan is now just sown seeds through these officers, and they influence other people, so that Wu Haoxuan's influence continues to expand. Wait until the Jilin Army controls the entire northeast, and one day wave the army into the pass, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and unify the whole country. His influence in the army and even the whole country will also rise to a peak.

At that time, even if Wu Haoxuan does not become the emperor, he can completely affect the development of the entire country.

If you change people and suddenly rise to such heights, you will definitely lose yourself. For the whole country and nation, it may not be a good thing. However, Wu Haoxuan is different. He has traveled back in time, so he naturally knows the direction of the future development of the world, and he also knows how to lead the country and the nation to avoid these risks, and how to make the country and the nation strong.

In order to reduce the noise of other people, reduce the strength of the country and the nation due to infighting. Therefore, Wu Haoxuan must implement dictatorship in the future. Only in this way will we be able to lead the country and the nation to become strong in the shortest possible time.

After all, the enemy is too strong, and the ferocious enemy is developing rapidly. Time is running out for the country and the nation, and there is no room for waste.

"Students, the road to prosperity and strength of the country and the nation depends on you. Perhaps, some of you will give your life for this, but please believe that your sacrifice will be worthwhile, and that you will sacrifice for the sake of your country and your nation. When the country is strong and the nation takes off, we will not forget you. You will go down in history for this! Wu Haoxuan said excitedly.

The students who participated in the graduation ceremony were very excited, and almost all of them were flushed, and they only felt that their blood was boiling. Wu Haoxuan regarded them as the hope of the rise of the country and the nation, what a high praise for them! When they feel honored, they also feel the weight of their responsibility. In the future battles, they will fight to the death for the entire country and nation.

Also present at the graduation ceremony were Wu Xingquan and senior officers of several infantry divisions. Even though they were not young, Wu Haoxuan's words also made them have a huge shock. In addition to Wu Xingquan, they only knew Wu Haoxuan's goals and dreams.

At the beginning, some people would think that Wu Haoxuan was dreaming of fools, wanting to rely on himself and rely on the power of Jilin to change the whole country, which was an almost impossible thing. However, looking back and thinking about the strength of Jilin now, wasn't it also established in this half a year? Wu Haoxuan is only twenty years old this year, he is still quite young, if he is given a few years, how strong will he be?

And they, the veterans of the army, will inevitably achieve results that they can't believe now. As soon as I think of this, many people's hearts can't help but burn up.

"Big marshal, the young marshal really has great ambitions! In the future, maybe we can really overturn the Dragon Court. Zhao Xifu, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, said with emotion.

"That is, I said a long time ago, the young marshal is not a thing in the pool, and now he has turned into a real dragon and soared in the sky." Shi Deshan, commander of the 1st Infantry Division, also said.

"Haha! Haoxuan has great ambitions, which makes me very happy. However, the path he chose will be very difficult. I, as a father, and those of you who are elders, I'm afraid I have to give my full support! Wu Xingquan laughed, Wu Haoxuan's appearance really made him feel very relieved.

"Dashuai, I didn't say that. We, the old brothers, are the strongest backing of the young marshal. Shi Deshan immediately patted his chest and reassured.

They are all Wu Xingquan's henchmen, and when the son inherits his father's business as a righteous principle, of course they will do their best to assist Wu Haoxuan.
