New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
On the morning of February 15, the eighth year of the Apocalypse
Xiamen round sandbank
Although this small island of less than two square kilometers is only the size of a sesame seed on the map, the scenery is unusually beautiful, and because it is inaccessible, it is also designated by Yang Feng as the site of the Fujian Naval Academy. This military academy has not been established for a long time, only a year before and after, and today it also welcomes the day of the first batch of graduates.
Yang Feng attaches great importance to this school, not only personally served as the principal of this school, but also came to inspect if there was anything to do on weekdays, and of course he had to come over to participate in the graduation of the first batch of students on a big day like today.
On a playground the size of a football field, more than two thousand cadets of the Naval Academy stood in a neat formation in neat white uniforms. Although the weather was still cold, and the cold wind blowing from the ocean continued to pour into the necks of the students, the students still stood neatly, and none of the students showed uncomfortable or impatient expressions on their faces.
Yang Feng not only poured great enthusiasm into this military academy, but also gave great financial support, and now 20 percent of the 20 percent of the money withheld by the customs every month is used in this school.
Take the students' dresses as an example, Yang Feng refers to the dress style of the modern space-time 07-style Chinese Navy, and all the students' dresses are all purchased from modern times, not only that, Yang Feng also requires all students to cut their hair short, but anyone who does not want to cut short hair is not allowed to enter the school, so Yang Feng also took the lead in cutting a short hair. Therefore, this batch of naval cadets is also jokingly called the short-haired army, and Yang Feng is also known as the short-haired marquis, because of this, many people sigh that Yang Feng is better for these students than for his own son.
All of this shows that Yang Feng attaches great importance to this school. Not only did they invest in the best teachers, but they also specially hired Portuguese naval officers and the best sailors to give lectures to these cadets, and regularly took them on ships for internships.
After a year of intense study, the first batch of students is finally about to graduate.
At the front of the playground, a cement rostrum, a huge banner above the rostrum reads, from right to left, "The First Graduation Ceremony of the Fujian Naval Academy."
Yang Feng is also wearing a dark green military uniform today, standing on the high platform, on the left and right sides of Lu Guangbiao and Liu Xiang are standing two chief and deputy commanders, not only that, but around the playground, there are also many ordinary people wearing civilian clothes, judging from their clothes, these people are poor families or ordinary civilians, it turns out that these people are the families of those students who are about to graduate.
This kind of activity is very common in modern society, and it is also the Yankees who took the lead in making it, in order to increase the sense of belonging and honor of the students and their families to the country and the army.
Today, in order to let all the students on the playground hear the speech, Yang Feng also specially installed loudspeakers and microphones around the playground.
Looking at the neatly arranged students in the audience, Yang Feng showed a satisfied expression. These students are all from good families that he has personally selected, which means that these people are all very innocent, and there are no witches, merchants, thieves or green-skinned gangsters, which is also to better ensure the purity of the team.
Seeing that the time was up, Yang Feng took two steps forward and blew into the microphone, and when he heard the microphone immediately buzzing, he said: "All the students who are about to graduate and have just entered the school, as well as the respected instructors and the families of the students who can come to this graduation ceremony in person, thank you very much for coming to participate in the first graduation ceremony of the Fujian Naval Academy, which also makes me feel honored." ”
Hearing Yang Feng's opening remarks, many people felt very fresh, especially those ordinary people who saw Yang Feng for the first time. In their general concept, a Hou Ye like Yang Feng should be high, and he has nothing to do with them as ordinary people, and it is already very good to see them snorting at them, and now the other party actually says that he feels honored, which really subverts their three views.
Yang Feng's voice suddenly raised: "Today is an important day, at least for all the cadets who are going to graduate, because from tomorrow you will no longer be an ordinary cadet, but as a real sailor." You will board warships and set foot on the battlefield, you will go to fight pirates, you will fight against those enemies who try to spy on my Ming territory and encroach on my Ming interests.
Some people may say, what do those pirates and those enemies have to do with me, and why should I fight them? Here I want to tell you that the reason why you can live peacefully at home, not from pirate plunder and not from enemy aggression, is because there are thousands of Ming soldiers who fought bloody battles on the border to protect you, and the reason why they shed their blood is so that the people of Ming can live peacefully.
And today, this burden will fall on your shoulders, and today I will tell you in front of your parents, wives and children, and your family. When you put on this uniform, it means that you will have a responsibility on your shoulders, and it may even mean that you will have to pay with your lives. Since the establishment of the Fujian Navy Division one year and three months, 568 officers and men of the Navy Division have left us. They fulfilled their promise with their lives, shed their last drop of blood to protect Daming, and now you are likely to follow in their footsteps, now you tell me that you are afraid? ”
No one spoke in the whole playground, and there was silence, and the family members who came to watch the ceremony outside the grassland also looked at their relatives on the school field with very complicated expressions.
Looking at the neatly lined up students on the school ground, Yang Feng shouted loudly: "I know that everyone is afraid of death, and I am also afraid, if any of you are afraid and want to quit, please stand up now, as long as he takes off his military uniform, I can allow him to leave." It's not that I'm tempting you, but I know that twisted melons aren't sweet, and it's better to let them leave early than to let a guy who is afraid of death board a battleship and kill his brother on the battlefield, which is good for everyone. Is anyone leaving now? ”
The school field was still quiet, and no one stood up.
Yang Feng continued: "Ben Hou has a word first, if he doesn't stand up now, if someone still wants to leave after this time, Ben Hou will deal with him by military law!" ”
After a long time, a voice suddenly sounded in the queue of students: "When a soldier is not afraid of death, he is not afraid of death, he is not a soldier, he is willing to die for the Hou Ye!" ”
"I am willing to die for the Hou Ye!"
A thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the phalanx, and the sound of thousands of people roaring together was not small, and the sound seemed to break through the sky and soar straight into the sky.
"Very good" Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his right hand and solemnly saluted the students in the audience.
"Huh!"
Thousands of students in the audience also returned the salute at the same time, and for a while, the school field was full of arms.
Seeing this, many family members who came to watch the ceremony could be described as filled with joy and sorrow in their hearts, because they knew that their relatives would be tightly tied to the Jiang Ninghou on the stage from now on, and in the days to come, many of them would lose their lives in the struggle with the sea and the enemy.
The surroundings of the school field are not all family members, and there are many captains and officers of the Fujian Navy Division, many of them staring at the students on the school ground, and a green light appeared in their eyes.
Nowadays, with the increasing number of ships of the Fujian Navy Division, the scale of the Navy Division is not only expanding, but with it comes a shortage of officers. You must know that no matter what era it is, the Navy has always been a technical branch, and as a Navy officer, you must know astronomy and geography, which is by no means an exaggeration.
For example, if you want to learn to distinguish directions, draw maps, learn how to operate artillery, learn how to operate sails, and even a series of knowledge such as flags and passwords, this is by no means as simple as the army issuing a spear or a firecrackle and training for two or three months to go to the battlefield.
It was precisely because there was such a shortage of officers, so when Yang Feng brought the ten third-class warships a few days ago, Lu Guangbiao, Liu Xiang, and the sailors were dancing happily at first, but then they were worried, because they found that they did not have so many qualified sailors under their command to control these warships, especially the lack of officers.
Know that the bigger the ship, the more complex and difficult it is to maneuver. It takes 550 to get a 3rd class warship with a displacement of 1,800 tons to get it running, and to twist the 550 sailors on board into a rope and gallop across the sea and fight the enemy, there are so many things that need to be done, and on the battlefield, even if there is a problem in one link, something will happen.
Just when Lu Guangbiao and Liu Xiang were worried about this matter, the news of the graduation of the first batch of colleges of the Fujian Naval Military Academy also reached their ears, which for them was sleepiness and met the pillow, and the long drought met the nectar, and immediately ran over, at this time they couldn't hear what Yang Feng was saying in their ears for a long time, and the eyes of the two of them were like hungry wolves, constantly looking at the students in the phalanx, looking for the students who satisfied them.
Just when the two of them were constantly selecting students, there were suddenly bursts of thunderous applause on the school ground, and it turned out that Yang Feng had finished speaking.
When Yang Feng finished speaking, the graduation ceremony was also over, but when Yang Feng just came down from the stage, Lu Guangbiao and Liu Xiang entangled him left and right
