Chapter 1899 Officer Cadets

Providing military training and further education for foreign military personnel has always been an important part of Haihan's foreign military aid. The number of foreign military personnel studying in Sanya every year has always been more than a hundred, and these are only those carefully selected by various countries to be sent overseas.

The senior officers trained in Han Dynasty do not include the large number of combatants trained locally by military advisers dispatched by Hai Han.

For North Korea, it is a rare opportunity to send its elite military personnel to Haihan to study and then bring advanced military experience back to North Korea. Unfortunately, the military budget limits North Korea's performance. If it were not considered

Due to funding issues, North Korea will most likely not send just 18 officer cadets.

North Korea has pinned its hope of forming a new army command team on these eighteen trainees, and Haihan senior officials have more ideas about this. Based on past operational experience, the Executive Committee believes that it can completely influence the military senior leaders.

To indirectly control these forces attached to Haihan through ideology, they have long relied on Haihan in terms of military equipment and combat systems, and the long-term benefits this will bring to Haihan are considerable.

Although the study abroad program arranged by Haihan for North Korea goes far beyond the military field, there is no doubt that both Haihan and North Korea regard military training as the essence of the study abroad program. It is precisely because of this that Andorite

The eighteen North Korean military officer cadets became the most attention-grabbers after Li Bo at this welcome dinner.

For Ahn Do-seok, from the moment he was selected as a government-sponsored student studying abroad, the past two months have been like a dream. While waiting for departure arrangements in Seoul, Ando-seok was actually worried about himself every day

He would be kicked out of the study abroad team, because compared to those generals with prominent family backgrounds, he was just an ordinary person from Orion. If they wanted to squeeze him out, they might just have to move their fingers. Until the day of departure from Seoul,

Andao Shi was convinced that his good luck had really come. Whether it was the arrangement of the Haihan people that worked, or whether there was no better candidate than him at the Bingcao Yamen, in short, his fate had changed from the moment he left North Korea.

Changes have occurred, and then you need to seize this opportunity.

During the voyage south, Andolshi was hardly idle for a day. Whenever he had time, he went to the captain, first mate and boatswain of the ship to ask them for navigation knowledge. Although he was not a naval officer, he spent all his time on the ship along the way.

He has learned a lot, and even started to write a sailing diary according to the captain's instructions - of course, with his limited education, the content of this diary is very simple.

But these silent efforts were not in vain. Not to mention the various knowledge and skills Andao Shi learned in the process, his performance on the way will naturally be paid attention to in secret, collected and reported to the superiors.

As for the performance of these North Korean officers on the way, the one who is most concerned about this is the Haihan Ministry of National Defense. Several officers with civilian backgrounds such as An Doshi were the initial targets for training and wooing by Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun in North Korea. However,

This does not mean that this group of people is worthy of the Department of Defense's trust or that it should be given more resources. It still requires a longer period of observation and continuous ideological indoctrination to change some of their original deep-rooted ideas.

.

Of course, the senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense do not have much time to observe these North Korean officer cadets, so they can only hand them over to their subordinates as tasks to execute. However, after such tasks are handed down layer by layer, the final executors can understand the intentions of the orderers and give back to them.

It's hard to say how much of the information from high-level officials is really meaningful. So on today's occasion, the top military officials can directly observe these North Korean students at close range, and this first impression may determine their future success.

The support Haihan received was overwhelming.

After three rounds of drinking, under Yan Chujie's active questioning, Li Bo asked the eighteen officer cadets to leave the banquet hall and gave him a general introduction to the situation of these people.

This group of officer cadets selected by North Korea have one common characteristic, that is, they all participated in the war this summer and have experience in cooperating with the Haihan Army. This is actually a condition proposed by Haihan to prevent certain

Relevant people who have never been on the battlefield are allowed to join the study abroad team. This condition indeed sets a very high threshold for the selection process, so many young people from the rich and powerful who are interested in getting gold can only give up on their own initiative.

"Being able to come to Sanya today proves that you are all elites in the North Korean military. But in the future, the training you will receive will be very difficult, which may make you regret coming here! But as long as you persevere, you will succeed.

Years from now, you will definitely become the most responsible generals in the North Korean army!"

Now that they had met each other, Yan Chujie took advantage of the situation and said a few words. While inoculating the North Korean officers, he also boasted to them about the bright prospects for the future and saw what kind of reaction these officers had.

Andao Shi was not particularly excited about this, because in fact, he had already heard similar words when he was at the Datongjiang base. Moreover, Qian Tiandun and Wang Tom made their words more direct at the time, allowing them to accept them well after arriving in Sanya.

The training arrangement will definitely ensure that they can join the new army and lead troops after returning home. When the time comes, Haihan will try to arrange for them to go into battle and gain opportunities for rapid promotion through their military exploits.

This is not just the boasting of Haikou by the two money kings. When Haihan supported Xu Xinsu to rise to power, he adopted a similar strategy, trying to get Xu Xinsu to use Shibazhi to gain military exploits, and then Xu Xinsu spent money from his own pocket to open up the joints. He had both money and

With a steady stream of military exploits, one can naturally rise to the top at a rocket-like speed.

As for the Korean soldiers, there is no need to worry about having no opponents for them to gain military exploits. The Qing Kingdom in the north has always been North Korea's natural enemy. When the time comes, Haihan can find any reason to start a war with the Qing Kingdom and ask North Korea to send troops to help, and North Korea will definitely not

If we refuse this opportunity for revenge, then it will be logical for these officers who have received orthodox Hai-Han military training in Sanya to go into battle.

If all goes well, An Daoshi and others will immediately join the new army as commanders at all levels after completing the training course and return to China. Those who have good military qualities and are willing to cooperate with Haihan will naturally get more

opportunities to play. If they want to stand out and rise quickly in the future, a lot depends on their performance in Sanya.

Then Gu Wei, who was in charge of the training and management of the Haihan Army, also stood up and said a few words to the North Korean officers: "I, Gu, will be responsible for your training in the future. I hope you all understand one thing. You are here

The skills you have learned will be used for life in the future! As long as you put in 12% of your efforts here, you will naturally get 12% of rewards in the future!"

For North Korean officers, the name Guwei is relatively unfamiliar. It is far less famous than Haihan generals such as Wang Tom, Qian Tiandun, and Harugong who have been fighting abroad all year round. But if you tell them that they will send troops to participate in the Korean War this year, The Fujian Navy and the Annan Navy, the leading generals of the two armies, Xu Yuzhuo and Zheng Ting, both trained under Gu Wei, which may make them more respectful to the chief instructor of the Haihan Army.

Of course, Gu Wei is not so easy to talk to on the surface. He is even harsh on the training ground. Foreign officers who come to Haihan for further training are often tormented by him. In private, some people even give him an "Ancient Demon" "The nickname.

The speeches of the two military leaders of Haihan made Andoshi feel a little more relaxed. What he was worried about was not how arduous the training content would be, but whether Haihan would really care about training North Korean officers. Is he able to learn his true skills from here? But now that General Haihan has said harsh words in front of him, he feels much more at ease.

Li Bo took this opportunity to carefully observe the senior officials of Haihan present. Although he had been reminded by Li Xi before, there were some things that Li Xi was not sure about, such as the true attitude of these senior officials towards North Korea.

Before Li Su left North Korea, King Li Zhu once mentioned this matter to him. After all, even North Korea's domestic attitude toward Haihan was not completely unified. There were still some officials who believed that introducing Haihan's army was quite risky, and Haihan's domestic Not all of them have good intentions toward North Korea. After arriving in Sanya, they must carefully handle their interpersonal relationships, especially those high-ranking Haihan officials who may not like North Korea.

For this kind of task that requires observing people's emotions and trying to figure out other people's psychology, Li Bo is actually not good at it. In addition, almost all of these senior officials on the Haihan Executive Committee are people with a subtle expression of emotions and anger. It is really difficult to judge the expressions, words and deeds. We can infer his true attitude towards North Korea. But fortunately, so far, all the high-ranking officials in Haihan that Li has come into contact with have behaved relatively friendly. Even the unsmiling military generals have been quite gentle when talking to him.

Fortunately, with the experience of contacting senior officials from Haihan at several stops along the way, Li Bo is now quite adaptable to this kind of social situation. He even wondered if the Haihan people did not arrange this trip along the way, but took the If the ship comes directly to Sanya, I may not be able to deal with it as calmly as I do now.

“I wonder what the prince’s specific thoughts are about this study abroad arrangement after visiting several overseas ports in our country?”

Li Fu was thinking about his experiences along the way, when Tao Donglai also asked related questions. Of course, Li Fu knew what Tao Donglai meant, and he wanted to ask whether he had already considered the field of knowledge that he wanted to study in Sanya. , but this really raises questions about his difficulties.

Li Fu is more interested in military affairs, but at the same time he also knows that he is not the material to lead troops in war. Even if he studies military affairs here for two years, he will probably only be able to talk about military affairs on paper. And the two Haihan generals just said it It was clear that the training the officer cadets received in Sanya would be very difficult, and this reason was enough to persuade Li Bo to quit.

Trade management is naturally a good learning direction, but Li Bo is not very interested in it and lacks business acumen. Learning this may have the same effect as learning military affairs. At most, it will only add a little knowledge of trade and finance, which will help North Korea in the future. You can avoid pitfalls in international trade.

As for studying agriculture and engineering, let alone that. He has lived for more than 20 years without even wearing a needle once, and has never been on a farm to experience farming. It can be said that he has no foundation. There is no point in spending time to learn now.

Big. And among the students studying abroad this time, there are already practitioners in these industries, so there is no need for him to become a monk halfway and learn these menial jobs.

While watching "The Rise of the South China Sea" in Hong Kong, Li Pu was already thinking about his arrangements for studying abroad, but he kept going back and forth among these fields, but could not find a study direction that satisfied him.

At this time, Tao Donglai took the initiative to ask. Li Bo hesitated for a moment and then responded honestly: "To be honest with Mr. Tao, I haven't thought about this clearly yet. I hope Mr. Tao can give me more time to think about it again."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "There is no need to worry about this. If the prince cannot decide for the time being, then he can travel around our country again and maybe he can find a direction that suits him."

In the opinion of the executive committee, it doesn't matter what Li Bo actually wants to learn. Anyway, based on his knowledge base, it is impossible to learn advanced things in two years. It is already very good to be able to thoroughly understand the superficial knowledge in a certain field.

That's right. The purpose of studying abroad is not to train Li Shu into a high-level talent, but to try to let him stay in Haihan for two years, and use this time to slowly change his ideas so that he can do it after returning to China.

It will have an influence on North Korea's development direction that is beneficial to Haehan - for example, it will unswervingly regard Haehan as its suzerain state and open more areas to Haehan, including immigration.

Therefore, Haihan generously stated from the beginning that Li Pu could choose his own learning direction without any restrictions. As long as he wanted to learn, Haihan could teach him. However, such generous conditions made it difficult for Li Pu to choose.

He hesitated all the way to Sanya and still didn't make a final decision. What he actually wanted to discuss now was to discuss with Li Xi and hear whether Li Xi could give him some constructive opinions. But after arriving in Sanya, he still didn't have a chance to talk with Li Xi in detail, so he

You have to face Tao Donglai's inquiry first.

Tao Donglai was happy to see Li Bo's hesitation come to fruition. This just shows that the Joseon prince's mind was not particularly firm and he still could not make a decision after such a long period of consideration. In this case, then

Continue to arrange Li Bo's travels in Haihan. Anyway, Haihan's territory is very large now. It would take several months just to go around the colonies in the South China Sea.

If Li Bo wants to stay on Hainan Island, it will be easy to arrange it. Nowadays, there are many large-scale industries on the island, and each place is enough to open Li Bo's eyes. During the visit, he will naturally gradually realize the Hainan Island.

Han's achievements are so great that it will be easier to instill some Hai-Han values ​​in him.
