Chapter 1: Berlin or Kiel (6)

The Keel Naval Academy always recruits students in early autumn. Naval cadets must receive about seven weeks of basic land military training before starting basic land navigation training. At the end of land training, the autumn is clear and cool, which is the quietest time in the Baltic Sea and the most suitable time for primary nautical training.

If you can get the admission letter from the University of Berlin, Wang Heidi naturally got the admission test of the Kiel Naval Academy. In early August, Wang Heidi was unsurprisingly received the admission letter from the military academy and the second-ranked transcript of the total score of the exam.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Keel Naval Academy started. Wang Heidi took out the military academy's admission letter from her shabby schoolbag, spread out her leather suitcase, and picked up a few pieces of change of clothes and toiletries. Before leaving, Wang Heidi grabbed the door frame and looked back with a gloomy temperament of a young man.

Hathaway is gone, and Wang Heidi planted many cornflowers and daisies in front of Hathaway's tomb. In the spring of the coming year, the mountains will be romantic and the birds will sing and fragrant.

Frasey also left. Frasey rested in Kiel for half a month until the land could no longer retain Frasey's prodigal heart. Kahn had enough connections at the dock, and he took Frasey and the sailors on the South Schleswig to a ocean freight company in Danze, and went out again when the monsoon turned.

Unconsciously, he had lived in this claustrophobic and wet dilapidated house for eight months. These eight months were the most difficult and unforgettable period of Wang Heidi's life. From the secret joy and longing when he first came over, the face of his face ashes and heart as cold as snow when he learned that he could not go back, to the sadness and humiliation when he had to go to Kiel Pier to work as a porter, to tear the letter Catherine sent to pieces and scattered in the North Atlantic sea breeze, to the reorganization of his passion when he received the admission letter from Berlin University, to the heartbreaking and confession of Hathaway when he finally faced Hathaway's death, this dilapidated and empty wooden shed records Wang Heidi's complicated mental journey. I don't know when Wang Heidi had regarded this wooden shed, which he thought was a serious violation of regulations and was targeted by the urban management as a safe haven to be entrusted.

Wang Heidi smiled bitterly, took the family photo standing in front of the bed and stuffed it straight into the suitcase, and then locked the ragged door heavily.

"Silem, you will be back..." Anne sneaked out of the corner with two small braids, and asked pitifully, tilting her head up.

"This is my home. Do you think I will come back?" Wang Heidi reached out and stroked Annie's little face, and joked: "If you miss me, go to the military academy to find me. It's just on the south bank of the bay. How far can it be?"

"Yes." Little Annie turned her worries into joy. She turned her head and looked around, tiptoed on Wang Heidi's dark and rough face and gently pecked her, stuffed a big apple into Wang Heidi's hand, ran away with a blushing face, and shouted while running: "I stolen this, you will only be allowed to eat it when you arrive at school..."

Annie's figure soon disappeared. Wang Heidi touched Yu Youyou's scent of a girl and sweet cheeks, feeling embarrassed.

"Silem!" The girl's harp was heard in her ears. Although her tone was not good, the voice was soft and really nice. Wang Heidi felt her scalp numb, and when she turned around, she saw Catherine with her lips and anger on her face.

Wang Heidi failed to fully accept the memory of Heidi Sileme. He only obtained some scattered, messy, and vague fragments. He did not understand why Heidi Sileme, who had such excellent grades, was obsessed with the Imperial Navy, just as he did not understand how a poor boy living in the Lower District of Kiel dating with the only daughter of Dick, the only daughter of one of the best business tycoons in Kiel.

"I don't care about your family. I don't care about Verani's blame for me. We made a wish under the old oak tree and we wanted to stay together forever, but in the end I found that I was the only one working hard. Verani and I went back to Redston for vacation, and my longing was like a shadow, and I told me not to sleep all night. I wrote to you, but you didn't say anything. I heard from my classmates that you were admitted to the University of Berlin. I fantasized in the countryside that you could start a career, and I could wear a snow-white wedding dress and stand side by side with you in Nicholas Cathedral to listen to the blessings of the pastor; Heidi, you said you lost your memory and wanted to end with me. You know how big a blow this will be for me. Now I put down the reserve of a girl and looked back for you with full of longing, but you chose the Navy and Anne..."

"Is this the answer you gave me?" Catherine was very beautiful, graceful and tall, and her words were full of intellectual aura. She raised her head slightly to prevent tears from overflowing from her eyes. The pear blossoms with rainy tears made people suffocate.

Wang Heidi moved her lips, trying to explain but couldn't say anything, and there was a voice in her heart crying.

"Wang Heidi, I was wrong. I will never force you to accompany me to the road again. I will never format your hard drive that is installed on a movie. I will never steal your QQ password again. I will never pretend to be pregnant and force you to get engaged to me. Please don't leave me alone."

"Scammer!" Catherine raised her hand.

The shallow five finger marks remained on Wang Heidi's face. Looking at Katherine who was gradually moving away, the otaku Wang Heidi shrugged and kept saying to the air:

"Look, Heidi Sileme, I have tried hard, although I really want to protect your poor pure and flawless first love, but I can't force it..." Wang Heidi knew that his words were a bit shameless, but Wang Heidi could only comfort herself like this. "Farewell, my first love in my previous life and this life..."

"Time travel, history is within reach..."

Wang Weddy stood in front of the Kiel Naval Academy. The brick and red buildings that were only in the History Museum and the old photos of the Empire Archives, the bell tower and the auditorium were now standing in front of Wang Weddy. The bleak sense of history came to her face, and the solemn and impetuous Wang Weddy, who was a little nervous.

Wang Heidi did not want to add burden to Frecy, and was determined to take over the banner of his father and join the German Navy, which was easier to promote. Little wealth is at ease, and occasionally there is an ideal otaku who saves the world. The idea is simple: first stay with the German Navy for a few years, accumulate a small fortune, and then retire early before the outbreak of World War I. If you cannot retire on time, Wang Heidi strives to work in a naval base or the Navy Department. No matter how bad it is, he must serve on a dreadnought with a relatively high level of security. As for underwater killers, wolves tactics, and unlimited submarine warfare, Wang Heidi can only stay away from him.

Heidi, who was afraid of death, never thought about this.

The Kill Naval Academy, full name of the Royal Naval Academy of Germany, was established in 1872 by Lieutenant General Albrecht von Stusch [1]. During the Six Weeks of War in 1864, the Prussians suffered enough without the hardship of the navy. After the war, the Prussians learned from their mistakes and decided to establish the Prussian Naval Academy in Danze. The Kill Naval Academy developed on the basis of the Prussian Naval Academy.

The first president of the Prussian Naval Academy, Carl Ferdinand Batsch, has legendary experience. Batsch worked on a merchant ship in 1846, joined the Navy in 1848, served as the vanguard of the Prussian Kingdom's invasion in the Far East. In 1852, he was promoted to lieutenant general, participated in the Danish War in 1864, and organized naval voyages many times. Batsch believed that war was not only a science but also an art. In addition to good military qualities and strong will, the war performance of each commander was closely related to his imagination and artistic creation. Only the most imaginative commander could create outstanding works. During his tenure as the principal of the Navy, Batsch always focused on the balanced training of military academy soldiers, and treated every naval cadet as a university elite.

The Keel Naval Academy inherited Battersche's proposal. The school's teaching subjects include not only professional content such as military basic training, navigation basic training, alternate officer training and ship internships, but also subjects such as marine law, economics, oceanography, mechanics, foreign languages, philosophy, etc. The teachers of the Keel Naval Academy include not only soldiers, but also engineers, philosophy and law professors, marine and zoologists, mathematicians and astronomers, linguists and medical professors. The school also regularly invites some well-known professors to give lectures to help students broaden their horizons. Given the deep heritage and excellent teaching environment of the military academy, the Keel Naval Academy has also become the reputation of the Imperial Navy Cradle.

The Kiel Naval Academy is located along the coast of the Kiel Gulf of the Baltic Sea. The school is not large in size. Except for the lush oak bodhi, it is all Romanesque and Gothic red brick buildings. There is a library in the school with a collection of up to 40,000 books. Not far from the library is the solemn and magnificent school auditorium, where lectures from well-known scholars are regularly.

"Kill, I will definitely conquer you!" A four-wheeled carriage parked at the gate of Kiel's military academy. A blond boy wearing a white shirt and shiny leather belts and shoes around his waist jumped out of the car, putting his hands in his pockets and looked cool, looking at the gate of the military academy confidently.

"So crazy? You must be the second generation of officials!" Just as Wang Heidi was hesitating, the boy seemed to notice Wang Heidi standing side by side at the gate of the military academy. He walked over and said in a condescending tone:

"Are you a new student in this period? Get to know me, my name is Bernhard von Oden, a Bavarian."

"Heidi Silem, native of Kiel."

"Oh? Are you the guy who ranked second in the entrance exam?" Wang Heidi handed Oden friendly, but he didn't expect Oden, who was arrogant, just raised his eyebrows slightly, threw a word casually, picked up the box and turned around and left. "Sorry, Heidi Sileme, your good luck has come to this!"

"Damn! The second generation of officials is amazing. Your young master was not only the second generation of officials, but also the second generation of rich people in his previous life. He is a pure man in his inner life! If this is to be put in the previous life, I have to beat you to kneel down and beg for mercy!" Wang Heidi's arrogance had long been smoothed out by Kiel's dirty dock and the yelling and scolding of the foreman Lehman. The only remaining one point of persistence also dissipated in front of Hathaway's grave. The tiger fell into the plains and was bullied by the dog. Wang Heidi had only thought about it.

"Brother, don't be sad. He is Junker's nobleman, and it is normal for him to look down on us civilians." Wang Heidi felt a little unhappy. At this time, another new student who came to report came over, patted Heidi on the shoulder, and said in anger at Oden's unruly back: "The Navy is different from the Army, and the status of a nobleman is useless here. You must know that the Navy is a reactionary faction with the conservative Junker's nobleman's eyes thorns and flesh. In the Navy, if you want to be promoted, you have to rely on hard power."

"Haha." After a joke by a kind-hearted person, Wang Heidi's mentality of feces was relieved a lot, and he once again handed out his hand of friendship. "Heidi - Sileme, Kiel."

"Kirs? Then we are considered fellow countrymen!" The boy in front of him was very talkative. He enthusiastically held Wang Heidi's shoulders and chatted with his back: "My name is Erich Raeder, a Hamburger. Do you know that Hamburger Free City is next to Schleswig-Helstein. In a sense, I am also a Shihe, haha."

In early September 1894, Pren, Germany.

Accompanied by Rear Admiral von-holtzendorff, a nineteen-year-old man named wolfgang-wegeneer came to the gate of the Prelon Navy School in Germany. He opened his hand and said proudly:

"My era is beginning, Navy, I'm here!"

In late September 1894, London was filled with fog.

The elegant British gentleman David Betty grabbed his military cap and sat bored on the strange rocks of the headland Bay in the British Islands. His cold and arrogant eyes followed the latest service captain in the harbor, and cursed fiercely.

"Oh, damn Kempedang!"

Kempedang was severely injured and had to return to the shipyard for repair. David Betty was serving in Kempedang at that time.;
