Chapter 190 Yang Jiakai's Shock at the Northwest Military Officers Training Academy
On the 21st day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of the Republic of China, Su Zhengyang and Yang Jiakai came to the southern part of Linzhou. Their first stop was not the destination of this trip, but Sanjiang County in the south. This was where Su Zhengyang started his army and it was also the first step of the Northwest Revolutionary Army's thousands of miles journey. This place had special significance for both Su Zhengyang and other backbones of the Northwest Revolutionary Army.
Today, after eliminating the three evils in Sanjiang County, the new young county magistrate Guo Chun has led the people of Sanjiang County to vigorously develop agriculture and animal husbandry, which has made the development of the entire Sanjiang County advance by leaps and bounds. In order to express their gratitude for the good days brought by Su Zhengyang, the governor of Linzhou, the people even spontaneously raised money to build a huge sculpture for Su Zhengyang in the central square of Sanjiang County.
The statue of Su Zhengyang is lifelike, with his hands behind his back, wearing a military uniform, and looking into the distance with deep eyes, giving people an intuitive feeling of calmness and wisdom.
Yang Jiakai looked at the bronze sculpture that was two meters high in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. I finally understand why you, a stinky boy, can start from scratch and bring the entire Northwest Revolutionary Army on the right track and make rapid progress."
After staying in Sanjiang County for a day, the convoy arrived directly at Zhenyuan City, an important city in the south of Linzhou, early the next morning.
Today, there are eight large-scale public colleges and universities in Linzhou with beautiful environments in Zhenyuan City, including the Northwest Officer Training College, Linzhou Police College, Linzhou Normal University, Linzhou Political Science and Law School, etc. Every year, countless students graduate from here and contribute their own strength to the entire Linzhou and even China.
Su Zhengyang brought Yang Jiakai, Jiang Xuewen and others directly to the destination of this trip, the Northwest Officers Training Academy which covers an area of more than 30 acres.
In fact, the two most famous military academies in China are Longzhou Military Academy located in Beilongcheng, the capital of the northern border, and Qingyun Military Academy located in Taizhou in the southern country.
In the Northern Xinjiang system, quite a number of well-known young generals, including Su Zhengyang's brother-in-law Yang Chengjun, Commander of the Central Guard Army Xia Zhenhua, etc., all graduated from Longzhou Military Academy. The instructors of Longzhou Military Academy are all senior military officers of the older generation who have walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood and have considerable battlefield experience.
The Qingyun Military Academy of the Southern Government is not far behind, and is even known as the number one military academy in China, providing a large number of military talents to the Southern Government.
The president of the Northwest Officers Training Academy, Xiao Yushan, then 54 years old, personally led the academy's senior management and waited at the school gate.
When Yang Jiakai got out of the car and saw the tall and straight figure of Xiao Yushan, he could hardly believe his eyes.
Xiao Yushan, former honorary vice president of the Kruger Military Academy in the United States, is also a recognized leader and figure in the military field. His famous masterpieces include "Guidelines for Modern Army Training" and "On Modern Warfare", all of which are military masterpieces renowned both at home and abroad.
Moreover, Xiao Yushan is not an academic teacher like Zhao Kuo who can only talk about war on paper, but a man who has actually been on the battlefield and has achieved great military exploits. In the American Civil War of Independence thirty years ago, Xiao Yushan served as the commander-in-chief of the Los Angeles Chinese Corps. Under his command, a series of breathtaking typical battles were fought and rich results were achieved.
All the major military officer training academies in China, including Longzhou Military Academy and Qingyun Military Academy, have sent sincere invitations to President Xiao, hoping that he would return to China for the sake of their common origin and cultivate high-end military talents who can adapt to modern warfare. However, Xiao Yushan declined all the invitations.
Yang Jiakai never expected that he would see this long-awaited leader in military education here.
"Hello, President Yang. I am Xiao Yushan, the president of the Northwest Officer Training Academy."
It was not until Xiao Yushan stood in front of Yang Jiakai, stretched out his right hand without arrogance, and greeted Yang Jiakai with a smile that Yang Jiakai suddenly realized what was going on. He hurriedly shook Xiao Yushan's right hand and responded warmly and politely: "Hello, President Xiao, I didn't expect to see you in Linzhou, Northwest China."
Behind Xiao Yushan, Tang Zhengqi, wearing a proper military uniform, said to Yang Jiakai, "President Yang, we meet again after parting in Beilong City. Now I have a sinecure in Zhengyang, holding the title of honorary vice president of the Northwest Officer Training Academy and military advisor."
As the school's leaders introduced themselves and greeted Yang Jiakai one after another, Yang Jiakai realized that this Northwest Officer Training Academy, from the president Xiao Yushan to the major teaching instructors and instructors, all of them were high-end military training talents with teaching experience in world-class military academies.
Yang Jiakai looked at Su Zhengyang meaningfully and said, "Good boy, you have quietly established such a large-scale military training academy in the northwest with amazing teaching resources. No wonder your Northwest Revolutionary Army has so many capable generals from top to bottom. It turns out that the roots come from here."
"President, Governor, please follow me."
"Now our Northwest Officer Training Academy is divided into six different majors. Each major has more than 20 experienced instructors and instructors. The entire academy covers an area of 40 acres, with training grounds, shooting ranges, different teaching buildings, cafeterias, armored unit training grounds, artillery training grounds, etc."
"We have currently established six professional training systems, including the Army Officers Department, Artillery Department, Armor Department, Air Force Department, Navy Department, and Special Forces Department. Currently, the Air Force and Navy professional systems have not officially started to recruit students due to lack of resources. The Army Officers Department has the largest number of students. The specific training time for each term is three years, and each term recruits 500 students. Students who can enter the academy are selected from various units. Junior officers or soldiers with excellent grades will return to the team after graduation and take up important positions."
"The courses for the Army Officer Department include battlefield response, on-the-spot command, overall situation, teaching and proficient application of various tactics, etc. Every half a month, we will also conduct large-scale military combat exercises at a large training ground on the outskirts of the city to improve their actual combat command capabilities."
"The artillery department is mainly responsible for training professionals who can operate various types of artillery in large numbers. The same is true for the armor department. Currently, the artillery department, armor department, and special forces department recruit 1,500 students each term. The training period is half a year. The entire school has a total of 5,000 students. There are complete supporting facilities to provide them with a good learning environment and living security."
It took Yang Jiakai more than two days to visit the entire Northwest Officers Training Academy from beginning to end. Whether in terms of hardware facilities, educational environment, or faculty, the Northwest Officers Training Academy is no less than the world's top military academies today.
When the domestic situation stabilizes in the future, Su Zhengyang plans to establish a naval branch of the Northwest Officers Training Academy in Shanghai or other port cities to provide naval talents for the Northwest Revolutionary Army.
Further studies at the Northwest Revolutionary Officers Training Academy can help you put aside all distractions. Once you are specially recruited into the school, it means that you have a bright future and unlimited potential. In addition, the school has various vehicles, artillery, and even armored units for students to practice directly. Once you graduate, you will immediately become the backbone of the Northwest Revolutionary Army.
Yang Jiakai even had the audacity to ask Su Zhengyang for thirty training places for the next batch of army officers. He planned to select some talented and loyal people with great potential from his own troops to study at the Northwest Officers Training Academy.
