Chapter 35 China's Partners
(Today, I'm asking for tickets for the third update! The little rider has done what he promised. Where is everyone's support?)
Since the establishment of the Huangpu Military Academy, and even the annual admission of freshmen from the Army University and the Staff University, no matter where Chiang Kai-shek is and how busy he is, he has to rush back to the entrance ceremony. Whether it is the Army University or the Staff College, in fact, they all adhere to the spirit of Huangpu, and his graduation Most of the students call Chiang Kai-shek the president, not the chairman.
In the Confucian culture that has been passed down in China for many years, the relationship between teachers and students is even greater than that of relatives whose blood is thicker than water. It can be said that the teacher is the father for life. Huangpu Military Academy is the basis of the Chinese Army, and the officers are the soul of the army. This is also the main reason why Chiang Kai-shek likes his subordinates to call him the principal. .
And Zhang Xuewu's every move in front of him today can be said to be satisfactory to him. Regarding Zhang Xuewu, Zhang Qun and Kang Ze have made relevant reports. Among them, Kang Ze's evaluation of Zhang Xuewu is particularly high. Kang Ze believes that what the Jiangxi bandit suppression team of the Nanchang camp lacks now is Zhang Xuewu has such combat experience. The general.
Chiang Kai-shek is a person who is used to the upper position, so he rarely expresses his joys and sorrows. Even if he appreciates it in his heart, on the surface, Chiang Kai-shek said lightly: "Revolutionary soldiers should also strengthen the study of spiritualism and resist the corruption of the trend. Everything can be changed. Only soldiers are not changed. Soldiers You are still young, but I am very happy to have such a view. That sentence of loyalty to the leader is very thoughtful!"
After saying that, Chiang Kai-shek turned around and smiled at George Fottel and said, "My general counsel, what do you think of my student?"
After waiting patiently for Mary to translate, George Fottel nodded slightly and said in German, "He already has the bones of a soldier, but I'm afraid it is unknown whether there is a soldier who matches the connotation of the rank he wears!"
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek heard Mary's translation, he immediately laughed and said, "It seems that Mr. General Counsel is going to take the exam for my students. Chengwenni should pay attention to it! General George Fottel is a visionary strategist and excellent tactician.
Zhang Xuewu smiled. The German he had studied at Nanjing Institute of Foreign Languages in his previous life seemed to have finally come in handy, so he nodded to Chiang Kai-shek and George Fozell, and then said in proficient German, "I am very grateful to General George Fauzell for giving me this precious opportunity to learn from you."
George Fotcher and Chiang Kai-shek looked at Zhang Xuewu in the same shock, but Chiang Kai-shek's shock only stayed on his face for a short time, while George Fotcher was completely stunned!
George Fotcher has not heard such a pure taste of Berlin for a long time since he came to China, especially from the Chinese population.
George Fottel smiled and said, "I would like to ask Colonel Zhang, what do you think of the future foreign military cooperation of the political axe of the Republic of China?"
After Mary's translation, Zhang Xuewu was stunned. George Fottel's problem seemed to be a little too big. How could it be explained in a word? Looking at Chiang Kai-shek's reaction, Zhang Xuewu took a slight breath and said sorry in German!
Then, Zhang Xuewu slowly said in Chinese: "I personally think that before talking about the field of foreign military cooperation, the political axe of the Republic of China should unify the armed forces of the whole country, streamline and reorganize millions of [***], and concentrate the general's political power in Nanjing's national political axe. This is a Important premise! For the Chinese political axe, Soviet Russia is a greedy polar bear, not a good neighbor, and it is a vicious wolf. The glorious Empire has fallen to the West Mountain, but it still holds the glory of the past and refuses to let go! Americans are powerful but numb and mercenary. They only see profit. The trauma of World War I scared the big American boy! The British are sleek, timid and old-fashioned. In the eyes of the British, we are not worth mentioning, while the French lack a sense of responsibility and are too romantic. They will be a good lover, but they will never become a good instructor!"
George Fotzer listened to Mary's translation while nodding slightly. Chiang Kai-shek was paying attention to Zhang Xuewu and seemed to be thinking about something else?
Zhang Xuewu paused for a moment and continued: "I think before there is a big change in the international situation and diplomacy in the future, the only cooperation option of the national political axe is to revive Germany!"
George Fotcher couldn't help interrupting when he heard this, "I take the liberty to interrupt Colonel Zhang. I want to ask why Germany is the only choice of China's political axe?"
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "The German nation is cautious and strict, and the disciplined nationalism is very cohesive. Although Germany is still reviving at this moment, Germany's main strategic enemies in Europe are France on the western front and Russia on the east front. Germany's population is quietly growing rapidly. I can predict that it is still In the next ten years or less, a large number of German youth will reach the age of military service every year, and the number of them must be twice as many as that of France.
Zhang Xuewu paid attention to George Fotcher's expression and continued: "The German Empire in World War I once fought almost the whole world with the power of one country, and almost conquered the world. In the end, although it was defeated, it was glorious! People who are familiar with the history of war know very well that on several occasions, the victory or defeat of the war was at a critical point. It was only because of some accidental events and opportunities that turned the overall situation into safety. However, in the unlikely event of a disturbance in Europe in the future, will the powerful Allies Group send millions of troops to the French battlefield or the Eastern Front again? At this moment, the Russians are busy with their five-year plan and the internal rectification movement, and the whole country has become completely different. Will Italy, which is as popular as Germany, stand on the side of Germany? Britain and the United States are far apart from Europe. I am very curious about the situation in the future, so that the Canadian army that participated in the battle of Mount Vermi, the Australian army that participated in the glorious battle of Villebretono, the fearless New Zealand army participating in the battle of Parsondale in the bomb pits, and the armandier who held in the harsh winter of 1914. Will the steel-like Indian Legion on the front come to France and Flanders again? When will the peace-loving but paralyzed and vigilant Britain send three million troops to gallop on the plains of Artois and Picardy again? When will the United States arm two million children again to cross the ocean at all costs? Perhaps these have become historical memories. With the progress of science and technology, the pattern and form of war will also undergo earth-shaking changes. Whoever lags behind science and technology and the times will be beaten!"
Zhang Xuewu's words shocked George Fotzell and his translator Mary. Chiang Kai-shek is also looking at Zhang Xuewu thoughtfully. Today, it seems that Zhang Xuewu has brought too much shock to Chiang Kai-shek. For Zhang Xuewu, he only has this opportunity. He must Leave a deep impression on Chiang Kai-shek, otherwise how long will it take for his identity as Zhang Xuewu's cousin? What he wants Chiang Kai-shek to pay attention to is his own talent, not the so-called worthless identity.
However, Zhang Xuewu's rise of Germany and the prediction of the European war made George Fozel feel a little creepy. Obviously, this seemingly quiet and introcive [***] man is actually a fanatical evity? Chiang Kai-shek's analysis of Zhang Xuewu needs time to think about it.
After a simple lunch, George Fottel left first. Zhang Xuewu was notified by the secretariat to wait in the North Study. This time, Chiang Kai-shek did not smile, but seriously greeted Zhang Xuewu to sit down, waiting for Chiang Kai-shek to take off his glasses after seeing a file.
Zhang Xuewu suddenly found that Chiang Kai-shek frowned and his left hand seemed to tremble slightly uncontrollably?
