Chapter V The Königsberg Junior Military Academy
At night, Chen Tian lay in his bathtub, closed his eyes, and felt very comfortable. At this time, his steward Zach was standing aside respectfully.
"Butler, help me do two things. The first thing is that the village where the guard found me, there is a little girl named Alice, she and her family saved me, you go and invite her and her family to the castle Come and be a guest. Then if they are willing to stay, they will help her parents find something to do in the castle, and if they don't, they will give them a sum of money to help their family build a bigger house."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Zach is a thin old man, but he is very clever.
"Another thing is that I want to enter our best military academy in Germany. You can help me."
"But, Your Royal Highness, at your current age, even entering the Junior Military Academy is still too young," Zack replied. "In addition, as your distinguished identity, it is enough to ask a private instructor. When you grow up, you can directly enter the Royal Army Academy to study."
"Oh! That's not bad! So can I build my own junior military academy? Learning by myself is too boring!"
"Of course, but are you sure this is really fun?"
"What! I'm not here to play, I'm not a kid anymore! Then you can help me prepare it, and tell my father by the way, I think he will not object. There are also instructors, you must find Some great ones! The best ones are the heroes who have participated in the Pu'ao and Franco-Prussian wars!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Zach walked to the door and turned around again, "But I want to remind you that the military school is very strict and hard. If you are a deserter, you will be laughed at by everyone, hey! "
"How is it possible? Zach, don't underestimate me! There are still funds, there should be no problem!"
"Hey! I believe that your Highness will not let us down. You can rest assured that as the Prince of East Prussia, although you don't have any real power yet, you are very rich. Besides, there is such a powerful butler, right? Hey!"
This Zack, he always treats me like a child, hum!
But in fact, even Chen Tian's parents regarded Chen Tian's move as a child's game, but after all, he was the Prince of East Prussia, so he still went to him, and he couldn't play any tricks anyway. Just repeatedly told Zach to try to find some good instructors, not to mistake others' children.
A few months later, the Königsberg Junior Military Academy funded by Gigi Williams was completed. According to Chen Tian's request, the military academy invited a dozen middle-ranking officers who had served in the Prussian army and participated in the Franco-Prussian War as instructors, and the students in the military academy were selected from the East Prussia region. The most surprising and happy thing is that the chief instructor Zak invited for the military academy was called Paul von Hindenburg, a lieutenant colonel of the East Prussian garrison, although his military literacy was already in the East Prussian garrison. Little famous, but Chen Tian knew that it was not until the Hindenburg commanded the Eastern German-Austrian Allied Forces during World War I that a series of brilliant victories in the battle against Russia was the pinnacle of his life, so he was also known by the German For "the god of protecting the country". With such a chief instructor, Chen Tian felt that he had found the treasure, no, it should be said that he had found the treasure. Oh! Brother Mammoth, sign a name for me!
If you want to enter the Königsberg Junior Military Academy, you don't need any aristocratic status or family background. You don't need to pay tuition and have a little living allowance. You are 6-10 years old, as long as you can pass the simple entrance exam. Of course, simplicity is only for Chen Tian, who is the subject of the question. In fact, few people can pass the entrance exam:
The first item is for everyone to tell themselves the purpose of applying for the military academy. Any child who is at a loss is eliminated because it is not a nursery school. It is better to go home and stay home; If you admire the prince and the like, sweat it! Do not learn at a young age, eliminate! It can be passed as long as there are reasonable reasons. The elimination rate in this segment is 20%. (Thank you Pinocchio for your support in this session!)
The second item is the basic physical examination, as long as it is healthy. The elimination rate of this link is 5%. (Thanks to Mr. Moa, the veterinarian, for his great assistance in this session!
The rate of elimination in this session is up to 96%!
In the end, only 49 children stood out from the thousands of applicants and entered the first phase of the Königsberg Junior Military Academy with Chen Tian. This result made Chen Tian lament. It seems that the Germans' thoughts are indeed as old-fashioned as the legend. Not old-fashioned is wrong, old-fashioned soldiers may be good soldiers, but the commander who holds thousands of lives is not enough.
"Gigi, are you really going to live in the military academy? The conditions there don't seem to be very good, I think you will be uncomfortable. Or else you still live in the castle, will people send you to the military academy every day?" Ji Ji's mother seems to her that her son is less than seven years old. Although the military school is not very large, the facilities are quite good, but it still makes her feel at ease.
"Mom, don't worry! I want to be a qualified soldier!" Chen Tian said carelessly. For his parents in this world, he didn't feel much affection. Many times he still remembered his own. Parents, and his younger brother, remembered the happy time of the family together.
"Relax, he is already a little man! Hahaha!" Ji Ji's dad supported his son very much. In his eyes, when his son was so young, he showed a strong military tendency. For the increasingly powerful German Empire, It is a great thing to say that he will definitely become an excellent prince, as good as himself.
Junior Military Academy in the western suburbs of Konigsberg.
Thomas is one of the 49 students who have come to report. They are assigned to 5 dormitory rooms. There are currently 9 people living in room 2 where Thomas is located. Only his upper bunk is temporarily empty in this room. Thomas is 8 years old and is the son of a farmer. Their family is very poor, so I heard that this military school not only does not have to pay tuition fees but also a subsidy of 10 marks. His dad took him and his 6-year-old brother over night Sign up. It is a pity that his brother was trembling in front of the very fierce examiner and did not dare to speak, and was eliminated in the first round. But I am refreshed. Not only do I have enough food every day, but I can also take classes with Prince William, and I will definitely have the opportunity to show my strength in the future.
Thomas glanced at the bed next to him, his "neighbor" a little fat man with blond curly hair, still eating in his mouth. "Hi! My name is Thomas Bourdaridge, hello!"
"Well, hello! My name is Ollie Kahn! Come and eat an apple! My dad helped me pack too much food!" Olly handed an apple and pointed to his luggage, inside It's really all food, eggs, bread and even ham.
"Thank you! Your family is so exaggerated. Bring so many things! I brought a little clothes, but here is the military school! Maybe these will be taken away by the instructor for a while!"
"Yes! It is not allowed to keep food privately here! But if I can, I can help you eat together!"
Thomas and Ollie raised their heads together, and a blond boy was standing in front of them with a big bag on his back.
"Gianluji William! Hello!" Chen Tian smiled and extended his right hand.
