Chapter 13 Baoding Selected Students (2)
Looking at the sleeping He Rui, Zhou Yinshan wanted to wake him up. In the end, he turned back and continued to see what He Rui had done for more than a day.
He Rui not only selected the candidates, but also marked all the test papers. Looking through the answer sheets above, Zhou Yinshan was already smiling.
Faced with the question of how to completely eliminate bandits, a student gave a very nonsense answer. If you want to completely eliminate bandits, you can probably only set up a large number of storage points to supply the troops with food in the countryside. However, such a large-scale war is almost impossible, so simply
Let’s farm.
After looking at the name on the test paper, it turned out to be the well-known troublemaker Cheng Ruofan.
Zhou Yinshan felt that Cheng Ruofan was very dissatisfied with He Rui's question, so he deliberately gave such a ridiculous answer. Such a disrespectful attitude was indeed inappropriate.
Looking at He Rui's review again, he underlined the suggestion of "Tuntian" and wrote "Why not?" next to it.
Is this guy stupid? Zhou Yinshan continued to read, and such "silly questions" appeared one after another. Zhou Yinshan was confused.
Putting down the test paper, Zhou Yinshan recalled what happened when he and He Rui studied in Japan a few years ago. He Rui had a cheerful and friendly personality, but never shied away from challenges. Many times, He Rui debated with Japanese classmates in the military academy.
The sharpness shocked Zhou Yinshan.
He Rui's review is to bring out these issues and criticize the students?
He blew out the candles, stood up and left. Zhou Yinshan made a decision in his heart. If He Rui went too far, Zhou Yinshan would definitely stop him. The reason why He Rui was allowed to come to the school to select students was because General Duan Qirui ordered that the Ministry of War issued a
I received an official letter. This does not mean that the Baoding Army Officer School will allow a Japanese Army University student to run wild.
May 27 was He Rui's third day at the Baoding Army Officer Academy. He Rui gave Zhou Yinshan a list of more than ten people early in the morning. These are all students who will enter the next stage.
Zhou Yinshan did not ask any questions and sent an instructor named Li Guodong and He Rui to interview these students.
The interviews were conducted one-on-one, and only four students were interviewed throughout the morning.
At noon, at the dining table in the cafeteria, Cheng Ruofan was eating gloomily after attending the interview. Xu Chengfeng, who was at the same table, gnawed on a steamed bun and asked, "Is it because your test scores are not good?"
Cheng Ruofan shook his head.
Zhong Yifu, a capable young man sitting opposite, asked: "Because you answered the question like that on purpose, were you scolded by Captain Na He?"
Cheng Ruofan shook his head again. Not only that, Cheng Ruofan also sighed with a look of despair, looking like he couldn't even eat.
"What happened?" Xu Chengfeng couldn't figure out what happened to his friend.
Under everyone's urging, Cheng Ruofan said sadly: "Germany can't win."
Although he didn't say much, Xu Chengfeng and others at the same table stopped holding their chopsticks. The classmates at the table next to him also turned their heads and looked over in surprise when they heard this.
Since the outbreak of the World War, the cadets at the Baoding Army Officer School have been extremely concerned. Most instructors believe that the Allies have greater strength than the Allies. Although the United States did not participate in the war, it is unlikely to join the Allies. Therefore, the Allies can win.
However, Cheng Ruofan is the most die-hard supporter of Germany's victory. As long as the world war is mentioned, Cheng Ruofan will be delighted and talk eloquently about the reasons why Germany must win.
Moreover, Germany has been in the upper hand for more than half a year, especially the battle of Tannenberg, which wiped out 270,000 Russian troops. Cheng Ruofan regarded it as evidence that Germany would win. Once the debate fell behind, he would use this battle as a case study.
hate.
It is not easy for such a guy to say, "Germany cannot win."
The students at the same table stopped eating and asked one after another. The student at the next table took the steamed buns and asked what was going on while eating. The students who had not heard Cheng Ruofan's speech came over to ask and learned that Cheng Ruofan had changed his stance.
Join the inquiry now.
Cheng Ruofan no longer had the intention to eat, so he stood up and pushed away everyone, and walked out. When Xu Chengfeng saw Cheng Ruofan walking to the door, he raised the back of his hand and wiped his eyes. It was probably because he had to admit that Germany would lose, and it was difficult for him, so he shed tears.
.
"Chengfeng. Then Captain He has some skills." Zhong Yifu's voice came from the side.
He Chengfeng turned to look at Zhong Yifu, and saw that Zhong Yifu had just turned back from the direction Cheng Ruofan left, "Chengfeng. Let's go and ask Ruofan later what Captain He said."
Like Zhong Yifu, Xu Chengfeng became very curious at this time. He just felt that Cheng Ruofan could not say anything at this time, so he replied: "It is better to find Captain He than to find Ruofan."
"This is good." Zhong Yifu nodded repeatedly, picked up chopsticks and said while eating, "But will Captain He tell us?"
"Let's wait for him outside in the afternoon." Xu Chengfeng felt that this was not a problem.
When Xu Chengfeng arrived outside the classroom where He Rui was interviewing in the afternoon, he saw that students numbering 30 or 40 had already gathered here. As soon as the classroom door opened, the instructor Li Guodong who was interviewing the students with He Rui came out and asked with a dark face
: "What are you doing?"
Someone among the students replied: "Instructor Li, we would like to ask Commander He about the development of the world war."
Since everyone had the same purpose, Xu Chengfeng remained silent.
Instructor Li walked back to the classroom and came out after a while, "Captain He promised to have a chat with everyone. Don't make trouble, do you hear me?"
"I heard it!" the students replied in a long tone. Then they swarmed into the classroom. When Xu Chengfeng entered, only the back row against the wall was still open.
He Rui has already drawn a rough topographic map of Europe on the blackboard, and is drawing the borders and battle lines of the warring parties.
Xu Chengfeng ranked first in the school in drawing maps. When he saw the map drawn by He Rui, he couldn't help but admire him.
After He Rui finished drawing, he turned around and started giving lectures.
Xu Chengfeng originally thought that what He Rui told would be similar to that of the instructor, except that he would put forward some unique viewpoints. Unexpectedly, He Rui first described the situation on the European battlefield from the beginning.
On the Western Front battlefield, there are more than 5 million troops crowded, hundreds of thousands of cannons, dense trenches, barbed wire fences and hundreds of thousands of heavy machine guns. On the Eastern Front, there is the vast Eastern European Plains. This has determined the two
The shape of the war on the different fronts will be very different.
After that, He Rui drew the plains, mountains and rivers, and Xu Chengfeng immediately felt that his previous vague views on the First World War were correct.
Artillery, aircraft, machine guns, self-propelled artillery. He Rui described the war in Europe and made predictions about the future of the war.
The more he listened, the more anxious Xu Chengfeng became. When He Rui predicted that armored vehicles weighing more than ten tons or even dozens of tons would be put into the battlefield soon, making the already bloody war even bloodier. Xu Chengfeng again
He couldn't listen anymore and left the classroom without saying a word.
Compared with the classroom full of people, the air outside was much better, and the hot summer wind blew in his face. Xu Chengfeng felt indescribably anxious in his heart. Even if he took off his shirt and went naked, this feeling of anxiety could not be driven away.
.
Xu Chengfeng’s ideal of joining the army is to defend the country and resist aggression. Information from foreign countries shows that the European powers are strong and well-trained. There is really no way to defeat them. Xu Chengfeng can only hide these frustrations in
Deep down in my heart, I only dare to mention it a little bit when I have an in-depth conversation with a few friends.
Regarding the world war, Xu Chengfeng did not support anyone. He just expected that the two sides would fight a mountain of blood and corpses, and their vitality would be severely damaged. In this way, China would be much more relaxed.
In He Rui's description just now, the gap between China and European powers has exceeded the limit of Xu Chengfeng's imagination. Even if Europe is broken after the world war, the strength tempered on the battlefield will only make China less able to fight back.
