Chapter XXXVI Army Officers Academy
Gao Yang and Zheng Xiujing walked side by side, laughing and came downstairs, Gao Yang turned to look at Zheng Xiujing and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I must return a gift when I receive a gift from someone else in China." ”
After speaking, he took out a delicate jewelry box from his pants pocket and handed it to Zheng Xiujing. "I'm very happy today, this is my return gift, next time I come to South Korea, I will invite you to dinner." Gao Yang made a phone call gesture and turned to leave after seeing Zheng Xiujing go upstairs.
Zheng Xiujing returned home and saw her sister Zheng Xiuyan sitting on the sofa reading a magazine.
"Sister so early today?"
"You're so early today?" The two sisters asked at the same time.
Jung so-yeon put down the magazine and got up to come to her sister's side. A faint smell of wine came from Zheng Xiujing's body.
"Mom is sleeping, go to your room and talk." Zheng Xiuyan frowned slightly.
"Yes." Zheng Xiujing replied softly.
The sisters came to Zheng Xiujing's room. "What did you do today? Why are you still drinking? Zheng Xiuyan asked directly.
"The oppa who helped me and Sister Xu Xian at the cocktail party last time, I invited him to dinner tonight, just drank some red wine." Zheng Xiujing pouted slightly.
Zheng Xiuyan frowned slightly, and was just about to say something, when she suddenly saw the jewelry box in her sister's hand, "What is this?" ”
"Ah, just now Gaoyang OPPA said that they must return the gift they received from others in China, so they gave me this, saying that it was a return gift, I haven't seen it yet." After speaking, he unpacked the package and opened the box.
"Oh, myGod." The sisters exclaimed in unison.
The jewelry box was opened, and a crystal clear diamond necklace was lying quietly inside!
Zheng Xiujing carefully picked up the diamond necklace, which was crystal clear and dazzling under the light! The sisters' eyes brightened, like cat's eyes at night, and they even glowed faintly! A feminine instinct. The necklace that appeared in front of them was set with a sparkling diamond the size of a little finger in a pile of tiny transparent diamonds!
Both sisters had a feeling of dry mouth, and quietly looked at the diamond in a daze. In the middle of the ring, Zheng Xiuyan's face suddenly tightened, and she said to her sister, "What's the matter?" Why would I give you such a valuable gift! ”
"I don't know what to do." Zheng Xiujing said with some confusion. She really didn't expect it to be such a valuable gift! If you know it, you will never accept it! picked up the phone and called Gao Yang.
Soon the phone was connected, "Little Crystal, are you home?" Zheng Xiuyan, who was listening from the side, twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at her sister. It's just a meal, and it's so intimate!
"OPPA, your gift is too valuable! I can't take it. Zheng Xiujing bit her lip and whispered.
"Oh, gifts, you call me brother, it's nothing to give you a gift. And it's not precious at all, it's just a matter of plucking the roots of a cold hair for me. Well, thank you for your hospitality today, and the next time I come to Korea to invite you to dinner, have a good rest, good night. Gao Yang said with a smile and hung up the phone without waiting for Zheng Xiujing to say anything more.
Zheng Xiujing looked at her phone in a daze. Zheng Xiuyan on the side sighed slightly, took her sister's hand and sat on the bed and said seriously, "Now tell me everything, starting from the first meeting." ”
Gao Yang came directly to the airport and returned to the Northern Capital. In the next few days, Gao Yang was mainly dealing with some corporate affairs, and the employees of SC Trading also went to South Korea with the steel requirements needed for the Yangtze River Bridge, and after ordering a lot of goods online, they arranged for the recruited executives to complete the follow-up work. Gaoyang departs for Africa.
On June 6, 1925, the summer had already begun, and in this increasingly hot day, 2,291 candidates from all over the country and 197 candidates recommended by the army were taking entrance exams in the newly built Army Officer Command College on the edge of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing.
The former German military academy instructors recruited by Gao Yang had arrived in Nanjing with the mercenaries not long ago. All of them are experienced professional soldiers who have been working in military schools for many years.
Gao Yang became the principal by name, and the former headmaster of the Dresden Infantry School, Wiley. Colonel Brandt assumed the post of Director of Education and was in charge of the overall work of the College.
The college offers infantry, artillery, engineers, baggage troops, military police, politics, logistics support, telecommunications, intelligence, staff officers, machinery, surveying and other subjects. The academy has a total of 129 German instructors.
The college is built on the edge of Xuanwu Lake, covering an area of more than 200 acres! The gate is simple and unpretentious, except for the plaque of the Army Officer School. Directly opposite the entrance to the campus is a huge concrete playground, and near the teaching building is a flagpole flying the national flag, the entire playground covers an area of more than 7,000 square meters, which is the size of a standard football field.
On the central axis of the college is a six-story teaching building in the shape of a hexagonal shape, with snow-white walls and bright windows. The school building is surrounded by a green belt, and there are many willow trees planted in the lawn, and the wind blowing on the lake brings the willow branches to dance, which is particularly beautiful.
On the left side of the teaching building is the dormitory building for students and instructors, which was built by Gao Yang in the style of the classic tube building of later generations. The neat two rows of twelve dormitory buildings are also painted in snow white, and the bright glass gives people an intuitive beauty.
On the right side of the school building is a football field, basketball court, tennis court, table tennis table and many other sports training areas, as well as cafeterias, bathrooms and other facilities. Then I walked through the wall to the right of Lu and it was Xuanwu Lake.
Behind the school building is the training plant of the military academy, with all kinds of training facilities and a shooting range fully equipped. The artillery range is not on campus, it has to go outside the city. Further back is the military warehouse, where Gao Yang has stored munitions that can equip a whole division!
Gao Yang hurriedly started the entrance exam, and there was no way to do it. Since Gaoyang began to release the enrollment list, there have been young students who have come to Nanjing to prepare to apply for the college, and the earliest batch has been waiting for several months!
Gao Yang's enrollment list clearly states that if you are enrolled and enjoy the treatment of non-commissioned officers, it is at least fifteen yuan per month!
At the same time, there are two semesters, and the tuition fee is free of charge and room and board. Successful graduation will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant, those with excellent grades can be awarded the rank of lieutenant, and those with top ten grades can be awarded the rank of captain as appropriate!
The generous treatment of Gaoyang's department has long been spread all over the country, and it has never deducted money! Although there are slogans such as defending the country, restoring sovereignty, and recovering Mongolia on the admissions list, it cannot be denied that the generous treatment is the main reason for attracting so many people to apply.
Among the candidates this time, 197 were recommended by the military. All of them are young people who have performed well in the army and have outstanding abilities. Gao Yang deliberately gave them a chance to study, as long as they didn't take the exam too badly, there was basically no problem in enrolling.
The most eye-catching of these candidates is Zhang Xinghai, commander of the first battalion of the second regiment of the sixth division of the army. Gao Yang couldn't close his mouth in surprise when he saw Zhang Xinghai's name in the recommended list.
Called him to his office and asked, "Didn't you graduate from the Baoding Military Academy?" What's the name? Besides, you're 30 years old, and your children can play soy sauce, now go to school with a group of teens and twenties of young people, what do you think? Gao Yang was a little angry, this is not a joke.
Zhang Xinghai stood in a standard military posture and said seriously: "Overseer, I went to Baoding Military Academy, but if it is not written on the enrollment notice of our school, I can't take the exam." I'm a little older, but the book doesn't say that there is no end to learning, I just want to learn more. He said with a tense look on his face, and said loudly, "Please give me a chance." ”
Gao Yang sat on the sofa and squinted at Zhang Xinghai, completely unable to see what he was thinking. His behavior is absolutely unreasonable in this era, but he really did it!
"Well, since you insist on doing this, let's take the exam for the sake of your many meritorious deeds in the past." Zhang Xinghai was about to speak, but Gao Yang continued: "However, if you succeed in enrollment, then your current military rank and position will be withdrawn, and you can only start from scratch as an ordinary military academy graduate." Do you understand? ”
Zhang Xinghai bit his lip and said loudly: "Understood! Sir! After saying that, he saluted and turned to leave. Gao Yang shook his head and didn't understand what he thought, forget it, the road is all walked by people themselves.
It's half past two in the afternoon, and there's a math exam going on. The volumes were all produced by Colonel Brandt, and Gao Yang made some changes and translated them into Chinese printing.
In Gao Yang's view, they are all very simple exams, that is, the level of the high school entrance examination in later generations is not enough. The main focus is on science, but in this era, more than eighty percent of China's students with a junior high school degree or above are liberal arts.
In Gao Yang's thoughts, it doesn't matter if you can pass the entrance exam, as long as you can pass the entrance exam, you will accept it.
The young people who were concentrating on the exam did not look at the beautiful scenery outside the window, and they were all concentrating on fighting with the exam papers in front of them. The breeze blows outside the window, the waves ripple on the lake, and the lotus flowers in full bloom sway in the wind, and the scenery is intoxicating.
In classroom 207 on the west side of the second floor, Wang Dashan, who was sitting next to the window, finally finished the paper. Breathing a sigh of relief, he looked up at Xuanwu Lake outside the wall. The waterfowl gently swept across the lake, bringing a wave of waves, and Wang Dashan sighed softly.
The volume is finished, but I know in my heart that most of it is wrong! There is no way that the family was poor when I was a child, and it is already the limit of the family to be able to study for two years! It's because I'm the boss!
Although he was a subordinate of the Overseer, he had a life instructor organize the study every night, but the time was too little, and he was able to learn everything during the months he spent studying hard at the non-commissioned officer school, which is why he was recommended. It's just that the gap can't be caught up in less than a year!
"Send the money home, and make sure your younger brothers go to school!" Wang Dashan looked at the scroll in front of him and thought silently.
