This is Nanyuan Air Force Base, the most important air force base in the Beijing-Tianjin area. It undertakes the function of defending the Beijing-Tianjin-Golden auxiliary area. Since the war between China and Japan started, this air force base has been strengthened. Most of the air force bases in various places have transferred elite troops to fight northward, but Nanyuan Air Force Base has maintained its original structure. An aircraft and a pilot have not been transferred. In recent days, the fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft patrolling over Beijing and Tianjin have all come from Nanyuan.

Early this morning, Nanyuan Air Force Base took off some fighter and reconnaissance aircraft according to the combat duty schedule as did a few days ago. These aircraft will fly north first, pass over Beijing, then turn east, go to the Bohai Sea to carry out combat readiness patrol missions, and then go back to Nanyuan after a circle over Tianjin.

Unlike the previous few days, there are more fighter jets taking off today. The reason is very simple, because just today, the President will visit Nanyuan in the future. In order to strengthen the guards, the Air Force must also undertake the necessary vigilance tasks.

The President inspected the Nanyuan Air Force Base today, not only to check the air force's combat readiness, but also to meet a group of young officers. These young officers have graduated from various military academies online. Army University, Ship Academy, Military and Political Academy, National Defense Science and Technology Academy, Military and Technology Academy. Basically, graduates from China's best military schools are now waiting for the president's reception in Nanyuan.

Originally, according to the previous practice, whenever a graduate of a military academy graduated, the president would personally go to the school to award graduation certificates to the graduates. However, since he is fighting, he is in power. Therefore, this time, the president specially ordered all graduates to be concentrated in Nanyuan and awarded degrees and military ranks to the graduates at the Air Force Base.

In fact, a group of military academy students had graduated early before the war started. After graduation, they were immediately sent to grassroots troops for training. Many even participated directly in the battle on the Liaodong Peninsula, which was different from this group of graduates. The graduates who were concentrated in the Nanyuan Air Force Base today were mainly technical officers and political cadres. However, after today's graduation ceremony, many of them will also go to the battlefield, receive the baptism of war, and use practical actions to prove their military and political qualities.

Before dawn today, all the graduates were dressed neatly. Although the cadet seals were still hung on the military uniforms, no one could deny that they were qualified officers. All they lacked was a graduation certificate and a formal military rank and position. Soon, they would take their graduation certificate and military rank from the president. Everyone was very excited. With a slight sense of anxiety, they were waiting for the president to arrive.

From only eight o'clock to nine o'clock now, for an hour, all graduates sat on the playground of the air force base, no one spoke or made noise, they just waited quietly. Only when the roar of motives came from the sky, they would raise their heads, look at the fighter plane or reconnaissance plane that flew over their heads, and watch them go away.

Finally, at 9:30 in the morning, the Presidential Guard arrived at Nanyuan Air Force Base on time. Wu Zhenhan, vice president of the Army University who was responsible for presiding the graduation ceremony, gave a command, and all the graduates stood up.

According to the plan, the president will first inspect the cadets on the parade platform, and the shiny concubine guns and bayonets finally came in handy.

A few minutes later, the president, accompanied by the military officials, climbed to the parade platform. At the same time, the sonorous military music was played, accompanied by the sound of military music, and nearly a thousand students formed five square formations, walked through the playground in a straight line. When approaching the parade platform, he called a few commands, only a few "Zhan Dao" sounds, and the guns were neatly held. Although there were not many people, they were very imposing.

Standing on the reviewing stand, Zhao Bei, as president, also raised his right hand and saluted the graduates. Looking at these heroic military academy students, Zhao Beidao had a normal heart and had been the president for several years. He has seen many such big scenes and has long been used to it. If he had to find some emotions for him, then his only emotion now is pride.

Can you not be proud? In the past, the military academies in this country could only take foreigners as their teachers, learn to walk in Handan and imitate Dongshi. Others could not learn real skills, but now they are different. The current military academies can not only provide qualified military talents to the team, but also create tactics and strategies on their own. In this Sino-Japanese War, the air force tactics, armored soldiers tactics, and submarine tactics that were very popular were all refined through these military academies. Although Zhao Bei could give the outline of these tactics, if these military academies were not involved, they could not be transformed into combat effectiveness.

It can be said that Zhao Bei created a miracle in military history, and the country's military power could rise rapidly in just a few years. It is precisely the contribution of Zhao Bei, the President, who, at least, his contributions account for half of the total contribution.

Now, another batch of fresh blood is about to be replenished into the army. As long as this metabolism can last for a few years, Zhao Bei is fully confident that he will turn his army into the most combative army in Asia. At that time, what's the point of being just Japan?

"Everyone has it, stand at attention! Please speak with the commander-in-chief."

The military parade was over soon, and Wu Zhenhan called out a few commands. There was a silence under the reviewing stand, and everyone turned their attention to the president on the reviewing stand.

Zhao Bei calmed down and took a step forward. He stood in front of the microphone, cleared his throat and read out the well-recited speech.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. In the contemporary world, the strong prey on the weak, and competition between countries is fierce. Economy, military, politics, culture, and many aspects are fiercely competitive. Those who lag behind will definitely be eliminated by international power. This is the truth of this era and the reality of this era.

Why do soldiers join the army? First, serve the country. Second, pursue honor. Don’t enter this door if you are greedy for life and fear of death. Please go on a different path. Although soldiers are also a continent, compared with other professions, the road to joining the army is bumpy and difficult. People are not the future of the mountain continent. If you enter this door, you will throw your life and life behind. Taking the country's strength and the happiness of the people as your responsibility; the so-called "the vast ocean can show the true nature of a hero. The more you are at the critical moment of the country's danger, the more soldiers have to bear the burden of saving the country and the people.

Now, I will ask you again, do you regret joining the army and serving the country?"

As soon as the president finished speaking, the scene was silent for a few seconds. Then there was a decisive voice in unison.

"No regret! No regret! No regret! No regret! No regret! No regret! No regret!

"Now, the title has officially begun."

Zhao Bei ended the incitement at the right time and took a few steps back. An adjutant walked forward with a roster in his hand. According to the list, he read the name on the roster loudly, in groups of five, each of which was read by one. A graduate student ran up from below, stood attentively in front of the president, and waited for the president to hang the rank on his own hand, and then took a gold-burned blazing certificate from the president. After that, he saluted again and withdrew.

The ceremony lasted for several hours and did not end until noon. After the president spoke again, the graduation ceremony was officially over.

The lunch was eaten at the Nanyuan Air Force Base. Zhao Bei specifically ordered the kitchen to make a very special lunch for the students. The staple food was slow-headed, and the "Iron Blood Republic" was printed on it to let the students remember how this republic was created and who created it.

As for Mr. President’s lunch, it is also very simple. Just like on weekdays, there are four dishes and one soup. There are only a few close friends who accompany him, Yang Du, Wu Zhenhan, Chen Tieshan, Zhang Jiyang, Li Souhe, and Li Yuanhong. Although the dishes are a little less variety, it is very honored that everyone here can have lunch with the President.

Especially Wu Zhenhan, he was even more moved.

Since he was thrown into Wuhan as the nominee vice president of the Army University, Wu Zhenhan has stayed away from the political center. This time he was ordered to rush to Nanyuan to preside over the graduation ceremony of the military academy students. His more important task is to replace Cai E and serve as the position of Chief of the Army Department.

Since the Anqing Uprising and the Huangnigang Uprising, Wu Zhenhan has been Zhao Bei's capable subordinate. He followed the commander-in-chief to fight in the east and west and made great contributions. He also assisted Zhao Bei in establishing the Republican Army. It can be said that Wu Zhenhan has been the second-person of the Republican Army since the beginning, at least on the surface.

But it was such a second-person figure of the Republican Army. Since the United Front replaced the Beiyang Group to take control of central power, it suddenly became "obscured". In politics, Zhao Bei played the leading role. In military, it was the group of foreign military academy students performing. As for Wu Zhenhan, it seemed that he was hung up by the commander-in-chief, at least on the surface.

After being the military chief in Anhui for a period of time, Wu Zhenhan was transferred by the central government to the Joint Staff of the Army and Navy to serve as a senior adviser and to attack Lan Tianwei. This move is intriguing, and many people are speculating about what the president is planning to do.

Since ancient times, once the superiors have mastered the central power, the most concerned ones are those senior generals who have conquered the world with them. These people not only control the army, but also know the superiors well. If they want to firmly sit down, the superiors must find ways to undermine the hard-working and contribution-making generals who follow them to conquer the world and take back the military power. All founding emperors of all generations are like this, or they can release military power like Taizu of Song, or kill the heroes of the heroes like Taizu of Ming, and simply solve the problem. One can be eliminated to avoid future troubles.

It is precisely because of this that some people speculate that the president transferred Wu Zhenhan to his idle position in order to collect power. From the peaceful process, people believe that the president is taking peaceful means to release military power with a glass of wine and exchanging high officials and generous salaries for the part of the military power in Wu Zhenhan's hands.

There are many villains in this world, and Wu Zhenhan has villains under him. They once slandered Wu Zhenhan, slandered the president, incited Wu Zhenhan to betray the president, and defected to the National Alliance or other political forces. But Wu Zhenhan did not do this. Not only did he laugh, he also drove away the villains, and then worked diligently in his position and completed his job seriously until he was transferred again and went to Wuhan to become the vice president of the Army University.

After going to Wuhan, Wu Zhenhan was also shaken for a while. If the president had not maintained close contact with him, he might have been regained and returned to the field, but he finally persisted. Although he was not a "qualified military instructor, in the position of Vice President of the Army University, Wu Zhenhan still performed his duties well. If he could not teach, he would rectify his discipline and compile textbooks. He would make training equipment, work diligently and work hard. Some people say he is stupid, and some laugh at him as foolish. Only Wu Zhenhan himself understands the taste.

After the war between China and Japan began, Wu Zhenhan was full of confidence and thought that the president would definitely let him go to the front line to lead the army and fight against the Japanese invaders. He also wrote to the president for this, hoping that the president would send him to the vanguard. Even if he could not be a senior official, he could still be a vanguard official. However, the president's reply poured cold water on Wu Zhenhan's head. The president had decided to let Wu Luzhen be the commander-in-chief. As for Wu Zhenhan, he continued to stay in Wuhan to supervise military academy affairs.

As soon as the president's reply arrived, Wu Zhenhan became ill. This was a heart disease and there was no cure. However, after the current good news came, Wu Zhenhan's heart disease was half cured. Then, when the president invited him to lead an Army University graduate to Ranyuan, his other half of his heart disease finally cured.
Chapter completed!
