Chapter IX The Countryman from K?nigsberg

After Christmas, half a month before the start of the Royal Army Academy, Chen Tian decided to visit Bismarck, the most famous figure in the 19th century - former Prime Minister Bismarck, known as the Iron-Blooded Prime Minister. Since he stepped down in 1890, he has been idle in his home in a small town west of Berlin. Chen Tian remembers that the old man will die in about two years. He has never had the opportunity to talk to this legendary strongman!

The Bismarck's manor was very large. Under the guidance of his servant, Chen Tian walked through the long corridor and came to a remote study. In the study, an old man with white hair sat on a large backrest chair, closing his eyes and pondering.

"Master, Prince William is down! Master..."

"Oh, Your Highness! You are here!" Bismarck slowly opened his eyes and said slowly: "I have been missing for many years. Your Highness, you have grown up so old! Come and sit down!"

"Hello, Prime Minister!" Chen Tian stood respectfully on the side.

"Oh, Your Highness, I'm no longer a prime minister! Haha! Why do you think of seeing me, an old man?"

"Prime Minister, I have wanted to come to ask you some questions for you very early, but I have never had a chance!"

"Haha, Your Highness, I've been asking about political affairs for a long time. I'm old and just want to spend my old age well!" But, I want to know what you think of the future of Germany?"

"Even a black bear is difficult to deal with a group of wolves. Germany now needs to cultivate and develop its economy, and needs a long-term stable and peaceful environment!" Bismarck closed his eyes quietly and finally said, "That's all I can say, and the rest will be thought about by His Highness himself!"

After saying goodbye to Bismarck, Chen Tian kept silently recalling his words. Why did this person, who was famous all over the world for his advocating the use of force, become a pacifist in his later years? Could it be that he coveted the Nobel Peace Prize?

Half a month later, at the gate of the Imperial Royal Army cadets, a group of teenagers stood there blankly looking up at the statue on the gate.

"I seem to have been here in my dream!"

"Wow! Our family will be proud of me!"

“It’s so grand here!”

"Let's go! We're going to stay here for four years!"

Due to Chen Tian's relationship, all twenty-four students who graduated from the first session of the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy were allowed to be admitted to the Royal Army Academy, but the college said that they need to look at their performance before deciding whether to accept students who graduated from the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy afterwards. According to what they learned, the entrance examinations for the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy are all strange questions, so they are not very at ease with the graduates there.

"Okay, so that our juniors can come here to study, we must perform well!" Chen Tian has become the leader of these young men!

"Yes! Matthew, you are always lazy when training, don't be eliminated in the first semester!"

"Stay wherever you cool down! How could I be eliminated? Look at my chest muscles..."

"Oh, that's great, I really have chicken feed! Hahaha!"

"Where did the country people come from? Hum..." At this time, several senior students walked by proudly, sneering at the group of teenagers wearing old gray military uniforms.

"You..." This guy named Maxiu was about to rush up and say something, but Chen Tian grabbed him.

"These are all young masters from noble families here, don't pay attention to them! Let's go and report!" Chen Tian said this, and everyone found that the military uniforms and boots on those people were very gorgeous, and most of the others on the road were like this. Only these people were wearing the military uniforms of the young military academy, which looked very dull among the crowd.

"Jiji, why don't you prepare some good clothes for us! We really look like country people!" One of them, named Renni, complained. The 6 years of life have made them very familiar with each other, so they are used to calling Chen Tian's name directly.

"We are the countrymen! So what about the countrymen? We can endure hardships and we can bear the burden! Let them take a good look at the strength of our countrymen and make them dare to look down on the countrymen!" Chen Tian smiled and patted Rennie.

"But you are the prince! Why..." Rennie was puzzled.

"No, like you, we are countrymen from Cornisburg, haha!" Chen Tian smiled with his shoulders in his arms.

"Haha...haha..."

In fact, the life of the Royal Army Academy is not much different from that of the Cornisburg Junior Military Academy. It is just as boring and hard, but there is more knowledge to learn here, the training intensity is greater, and the competition is more intense.

"Opang, can you still hold on?"

"Yeah, that's OK..."

"Matthew, keep up and don't fall behind!"

"rest assured……"

Chen Tian and the others were all incorporated into a 100-person company. On that day, they and two other freshmen companies were fully armed to the exercise field 10 kilometers away. Their opponents would be the same number of students who were about to graduate. Those students had completed the examination for other subjects, and the last one was a practical simulation with the nature of a military parade. For previous graduates, this was the simplest examination. After all, the new students were the freshmen who had just entered the academy. Often the beginning of the exercise were scared by the sound of gunfire, and there was no decent resistance. Of course, the nobles and generals who came to watch the graduation exercise could appreciate the "powerful power" of the Imperial Army.

"Hi! Jiji, look! Are those guys who despise us on the day we entered the academy? Judging from their arrogant look, they didn't take us seriously! We must repair them well in a while!" Matthew seemed to be ready to waste time with those people!

"Okay! Look at the appearance of the other people in our company. It would be nice to be able to run to the exercise field. They can't stop those guys at all!" Thomas pointed to the guys behind, and after only halfway, many people had already landed far behind. The ones who could keep up were Chen Tian and the others.

"Oh! It seems we shouldn't have teased our bearded instructor who forced us to run around the playground all day. Do you remember? Once I put a mouse in his shoes, but we were all caught by him in the middle of the night and ran to the playground, hahaha!"

"Yes! I shouldn't have secretly replaced the wine in his bottle!"

"Oh... it turned out that it was you two, and we were punished to run for no reason!"

"Hahaha……"

"Little girl, I'll laugh so happily, I won't cry in a while!" Another team on the road led by a young man named Eureka. He glanced at the team over Chentian and said disdainfully. Their team trotted neatly, quietly with only footsteps. This is a typical German army!

On Chen Tian, ​​there were only about thirty or forty people trot in a relatively neat queue, and the others were scattered behind.

"Okay, everyone should pay attention. The attacking party is the graduate troops, and the defense party is the freshmen. From now on, the defense party has an hour to build trenches, and the attacking party will start attacking in an hour!" After the exercise referee announced some other exercise rules to everyone, he brought the freshmen to their defensive positions.

"Referee, where does the opponent launch an attack?"

"Here! They will start attacking from the hillside over there, and their starting position is on the hillside." The referee pointed to the hillside in the distance and then smiled and said, "Don't be nervous! There are never new recruits here to defend, so you don't need to have any pressure, just play with them!"

"Company Commander, what should we do now? They are condescending and have artillery cover, so it is difficult for us to defend!" Chen Tian walked to their company commander and asked. Their company commander was a very young instructor, who seemed to be about twenty years old. He sat on the ground and said lazily.

"Didn't you hear the referee say it? Just dig a trench and it's all right. Then you can fire a few shots!"

"You... can I take us around here?" Chen Tian wanted to beat this cowardly guy.

"Isn't it good to wait for surrender here? But it's up to you. Remember to come and surrender in an hour!"

An hour later, Eureka appeared on the top of the hillside with his company. Sure enough, there was only a shallow trench on the opposite defensive position. The freshmen were half squatting in the trench, half of their bodies were exposed, and they stared blankly at this side.

"Haha! Easy to kill! Let's start setting off fireworks! Then we go over and clean them up!"

"Boom...boom..." The attacking party's mountain cannon opened fire.

The generals and nobles sat on the distant hillside and watched with telescopes, while the exercise referee reported on the progress of the exercise.

"Based on the position of the defensive side, in the face of the strong firepower of the offensive side, it was determined that 70% of the casualties on the defensive side's position were killed and killed, and it was estimated that less than 100 soldiers were left, and there were no casualties on the offensive side!"

"Oh..." the nobles applauded.

"Your Excellency General, congratulations!" a noble lady said to the general next to her with a charming smile.

"Haha! The army of our empire is the most powerful! Let's see our warriors collect the results!"

Ten minutes later, Eureka's company and two other companies lined up in neat formations and began to walk towards the defensive position. At this time, Chen Tian and his platoon were quietly lurking inside in the bushes on the other side of the hillside.

"Okay, everyone get the bayonet! Quickly go around the back of the hillside, where there are 5 mountain cannons and 6 machine guns, and only about 30 people stay. We quickly dealt with them, then control the machine guns, and then shoot from the back of the attacking force! Start..."

A quarter of an hour later...

"Referee, what's going on? Why is the offensive party determined to be defeated?" A poopy-bellied nobleman asked the exercise referee loudly in surprise.

"Didn't you see that? When the attacking party reached the halfway up the hillside, the starting position was captured by the defense, and then the attacking troops were fired by machine guns. They stood there for five minutes and rearranged the formation. When they rushed back to the starting position, according to the machine gun shooting rate, the machine gun hit rate at that distance, and the attacking party's formation, each of them was killed at least three times!" Before the referee could answer, another general stood up and put on his military cap and left angrily.

"Oh... it seems that they will all graduate until next year! God!" The other generals sighed helplessly. After all, they knew that Prince William was on the defensive side, and they could not favor the offensive side. Originally, they just wanted Prince William to see the power of their army's offensive, but they did not expect that the defensive side would make such a move, and the rule did not state that the defensive side was not allowed to counterattack.

On that position, Eureka, who had been "dead" more than three times, looked helplessly at the teenagers in front of him. Not long ago, the group of teenagers who were ridiculed as countrymen by him, walked past him with his chest out.
