Chapter 6 When we mingle

Chen Tian lives in Thomas' upper bunk and is also Oli's neighbor. The three of them quickly got together. However, because of Chen Tian's special identity and Oli's snoring, the child did not sleep well in the first few days. But the children are children after all, and after getting to know each other, they quickly forgot their identities. So people always see a farmer's son, a businessman's son and a prince who are happily together all day long, eating and washing together, and even when they forget to bring paper in the toilet, they call each other's names...

Soon, the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy officially opened. At the opening ceremony, Chen Tian invited William II to give an encouraging speech, which excited all the students of the military academy. However, their arduous military academy career began...

In the teaching plan of the military academy, each student will study here for 6 years. In addition to receiving military training and physical training, it also includes learning various ordinary courses, including mathematics, chemistry, history, geography, etc. According to Chen Tian's arrangement, each person can also take one foreign language every day, including English, French and Chinese. Many people are puzzled about why the military academy needs to offer Chinese courses. Chen Tian's explanation is that Asia is a very potential market in the future, and China, which has a large population, is the most important part of this market. In fact, Chen Tian hopes that the commanders trained in the military academy can help China improve its military strength and no longer be bullied by the great powers. If necessary, they can join forces with the German Empire to make the world tremble under their feet.

There is also a "honor system" similar to West Point Military Academy in Cornisburg, that is, "every student must never lie, deceive or steal, nor tolerate such behaviors from others." This is the main method to cultivate students' loyalty and integrity. Its essence is to emphasize "self-discipline and self-improvement". For all behaviors that violate school regulations, you can remember demerits at the least, punish them, and be confined and expelled at the worst.

The first few weeks after entering the military academy were basic training, a transitional training to turn ordinary people into quasi-soldiers. The first step was queue training, practiced at various steps, and walked mechanical steps day after day. Many children were tired and burst into tears, but still persisted. Although Chen Tian was older than everyone's mental age, his body was as tender as everyone else. After training every day, he had back pain, and when he returned to the dormitory, he lay on the bed without moving, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. In these weeks, only a few children left silently with their bags on their backs.

Hard training and strict daily life management. Every morning at 6 o'clock, when the wake-up call sounds, all students must get up immediately, go out for morning exercises, organize their internal affairs, and then stand attentively and wait for the instructor to visit. From personal dress and instruments to dormitory hygiene, they must be perfect. Then they will eat in the large restaurant. After the command to "Sales" you can eat. No noise is allowed during meals. The meal time is only 20 minutes, and the meal will be collected as soon as the time comes. After breakfast, the class time is all from 7:30 to 12 o'clock, and there is no rest in the middle. Lunch and lunch break are only 50 minutes in total. 2 hours are required in the afternoon.

Physical exercise. After dinner, you have to go to study for evening self-study after 50 minutes of rest. All students must turn off the lights and go to bed until 9:00. They can only rest for 7 hours at night, and often have emergency night gatherings. Here, being clever and losing their temper is absolutely not allowed. Chen Tian has never had a noble temper, so he quickly adapted to it. Thomas is an honest man, and this kind of living habit is relatively easy for him to adapt. Only poor Oly always makes loud noises when eating, or is punished not to eat because he has not folded the quilt. At this time, Chen Tian and Thomas always find ways to steal some food for him.

"Opang, why are you punished again? Come on, this is the bread I secretly left in the afternoon."

"Yeah, yeah, delicious! I'm starving to death!"

After the basic training, there was a month of field training, which was carried out in the valley south of the military academy, where there were dense forests and streams. Chen Tian and the others lived in marching tents, and there was very little food supply every day, and they mainly needed to find food by themselves. Chen Tian, ​​Thomas, Ollie and two other boys were separated in a group.

One afternoon after the rain, the two boys were responsible for finding firewood for the fire, while Chentian, Thomas and Oli went to find food.

"I'm so hungry! It would be great if I had bread and ham now!" Ollie complained as she walked.

"Opang, you have more fat and should be hungry! Why do you say you're hungry so quickly? Hurry up, otherwise you won't have dinner!" Chen Tian walked in front and teased Olly.

"Yes, Pangpang, you're so slow, we can't find food when it's dark! Do you want to stay hungry overnight? Then I won't tell whether it's your hungry sound or your snoring!" Thomas was used to joking with Oli.

"Oh! You just like to make fun of fat people!" Ollie muttered.

"Look! There seems to be some fruits over there, let's go and pick them! At least you don't have to go hungry today!" Thomas said, pointing to a big tree not far away.

But when they approached, they found that the tree grew on the edge of the cliff and extended outwards. The branches with fruits all extended outwards. It seemed that it was precisely because of this that some of the fruits remained unpicked.

"What should I do? It seems very dangerous! Although I am very hungry, don't take risks!" Oli shrank his head.

"Look at you, what are you afraid of? I'll climb over and pick it! You're not very hungry, you'll have something to fill your stomach in a while." Chen Tian took off his shoes and was about to climb up.

"Oh! My Prince, let me go! I grew up climbing trees, this won't hurt me!" Thomas patted Chen Tian's shoulder and looked up at the fruits.

"What! I haven't climbed any trees near our stables. I'll do it and I'll do it!"

"Brazing and saucer!"

"Scissors stone cloth...oh!"

Thomas was getting closer and closer to those fruits, only a little bit, but unfortunately the branches that had rained were still too slippery!

"ah……"

Thomas hung in mid-air, Chen Tian, ​​who was following the big branch behind him, grabbed his hand, but the child was too weak, and Thomas's hand began to slide down little by little.

"Thomas, I've stopped it! Ah..."

Just as Thomas's hand was about to slide down, Chen Tian stretched out his other hand and grabbed him with both hands, but at the same time he also lost his balance and slid down the tree.

"It's over!" Chen Tian only had this thought in his mind.

But when Chen Tian and Thomas fell down for more than ten centimeters, they stopped in the air again.

"Oli... catch it!" Chen Tian did not look back, but he knew that it was naturally Oli.

Oli climbed onto a thicker branch on the side in time and grabbed Chen Tian's feet at the critical moment.

"Well..." Oli pulled the two of them, his face red.

"Jiji, let it go! Oliri can't hold us back! If you let it go, you can still save it!"

"Shut up - mouth! We - there will be no problem! Sure!" Chen Tian gritted his teeth, hoping that Oli could pull them up, and Thomas and he also felt hope together, and they were rising little by little.

"Ori, good, come on!"

Unfortunately, Oli's strength had almost reached its limit, and Chen Tian and Thomas stopped in the air again.

"Oli..."

Ollie frowned, holding her breath, her eyes flushed.

"ah……"

Chen Tian and Thomas were suddenly pulled up a lot, and the three of them fell down from the tree together, but they fell firmly on the soil on the cliff. Thomas' butt happened to be on the edge of the cliff, but Chen Tian held him tightly and did not let go.

"Wuwuwu...I don't want you to have something to do. Since childhood, everyone has laughed at me and didn't play with me! Only you care about me and take care of me! Wuwuwu..."

"Oli..."

The three of them suddenly cried with their heads in their arms. Chen Tian suddenly felt that many years of grievances and worries were rushing with tears at this moment, replaced by a sense of trust in happiness.

"Okay, from today on, we must help each other, trust each other, and never leave each other!"

"Well, trust each other and never leave each other!"

Children's feelings are the most real, and tears are the most real, so these three people have been working together since this day. Until they are very old, they will tell their great-grandsons that story: When we were together...

From the second academic year, students must receive various military training: infantry patrol, marching, light weapons shooting, fighting, mountaineering, swimming, rescue, survival in the wild, battlefield reconnaissance...

Chentian, Ollie and Thomas all passed all the military academy assessments successfully.

What surprised the instructors was that most of the students who came here had strong learning and understanding skills, and most of them performed very well in the study of various ordinary courses. After all, children who could answer those brain teasers questions in this era were not intelligent. However, in military training, some people were very adaptable, while some people performed very mediocrely, and their physical training was also very similar. Although this place was just a young military academy, the requirements for military and physical fitness were not as strict as those of formal military academy and the army, half of the students still dropped out or were eliminated in 6 years.
