Chapter 389

  Drink all the people away

Li Shuanzhu and Duan Qirui bid farewell to Lei Xiaopeng and others, and left Longfeng Restaurant on foot to return. They lived in Shanghai Hotel, about two blocks away from here. They just took a walk along the side of the road. Go back.

  Qinglong City is not as prosperous as a metropolis like Honghegu City, but a small humanistic city with beautiful scenery, exquisite and elegant, with a lot of noisy commercial atmosphere at night and a little more tranquil atmosphere.

  Walking on the road illuminated by the street lights, the evening breeze with the fragrance of vegetation is blowing, and the sound of music is faintly heard from the side of the road, which makes people feel that the years are peaceful.

   walked a few hundred meters forward

  Li Shuanzhu did not speak, Duan Qirui just walked quietly by the side and did not make a sound. The street lamp stretched the shadows of the two people long.

"I have lived here for two years, but our students rarely have the opportunity to go out shopping at night. At most during the day, we can pool some money to buy some snacks. That is the happiest moment." Li Shuanzhu strolled on the road, seeming to be in deep memories. "At that time, school was everything. Studying at school, living at school, playing around at school, the outside world is beautiful and yearning, and I always look forward to growing up and leaving this cage-like school as soon as I graduate. "

  Speaking of which

  Li Fushou turned his head to look at Duan Qirui, who had been silent for a long time, his eyes were shining in the night; "Brother Qirui, surely you are the same, right?"

   "Yes! Our students all have the same mind. Of course I am no different from others, except for..."

   "Except what?"

   "Hehe... Except for those lucky guys who already have people in their hearts, they can't wait to stay in school for a lifetime."

   "Oh...they, haha..."

Li Shuanzhu smiled intently. At Young Eagle School there are more boys than girls, the ratio is almost 9:1 or even lower, and boys and girls do not live together in accommodation and teaching. At most, they can only meet occasionally in the school yard and have a chance to win girls. The lucky ones in favor are even rarer.

  At least among the 100 people in their district team, there is no such lucky person.

  District Captain He Jiaben inexplicably captured Zhu Qiaoer’s heart because of an accident, but by then he was about to graduate...

"Looking back now, life at school is lush and beautiful. Every time the big guy finishes his meal, he doesn’t rush back to the dormitory. It's tacit tacit." At this point, Li Fushou's mouth was filled with a smile.

  "Brother Shuan Zhu, I heard the instructors talk about it. They know what the minds of these boys in the school are, but they can’t bear to destroy it. Speaking of it...I really appreciate them for accompanying us to grow up together."

   "Yes, it seems to be yesterday in retrospect."

"Who said no?" Duan Qirui's emotions were obviously agitated. They are all young people who have shared experiences; "Let me tell you, I sometimes drank Mideng with my brothers, and got up the next morning. Sometimes I get shocked, I want to die, and I have to be beaten by the teacher after the morning class is delayed. After I get back to my mind, there is a strong sense of emptiness in my heart for no reason."

   "Then have you donated money to the school?"

   "Donated, I donated 20 pounds last year, hoping to help more people."

"Brother Qi Rui, you donated 20 pounds. I donated 65 pounds last year. But think about the fact that the principal spends millions of pounds a year and has been insisting on it for so many years. Millions of orphans, including us, have benefited a lot. I really feel that the principal is too great."

   "Yes, Eun Tong is rebuilt!"

The two streets are not far away. Two young officers walked side by side for a while and they arrived. Door head.

There are several hostels and inns near    Street. They are nothing more than plaques such as Yuedong Inn, Guangxi Inn, Fushenghao Inn. Ninety-nine percent of them are businesses run by Chinese. Sometimes white people are used to living in Chinese hostels.

  Sometimes the language cannot be communicated, and gestures can also be solved, as long as you pay for it.

  "Oooh, the two chiefs have come back after having a drink. Will they make a pot of tea for you in a little while? Do you think you need something?" The hotel mate greeted him graciously and said hello from a distance.

   "There are fresh fruits, pick up the delicate ones and send them a plate."

   "The little one understands, I will arrange it now."

The two people’s rooms are separate. Duan Qirui didn’t want to rest so early, so he came to Li Shuanzhu’s room to chat, just to have some tea and some fruit to sober up, and by the way, talk about the Lei brothers at today’s banquet. .

  After the guy at the hotel delivered the tea and fruit plate, Li Fushou took out a shilling silver coin and handed it over, and said generously; "Take it, I will reward you more."

   "Thank you sir for the reward."

   "Okay, go down."

   "Thank you, thank you." The officers who have recently moved in are generous in their actions, and the hotel staff happily left and closed the door.

  In the room, an oil lamp illuminates the surroundings.

  This is a simply furnished room with a bed, a cupboard, a table and a few bamboo chairs. The bedding is clean and tidy, and there is a thermos bottle at the foot of the table.

Li Shuanzhu took off his military uniform and hung it in the closet, walked over and sat down, took a sip of the brewed tea, looked up at Duan Qirui, and saw that he was sitting on a chair eating fruit with Erlang's legs crossed. Think, then ask;

   "What do you think?"

   "I wonder where Lei Xiaopeng will expedition this time?"

   "Hmm... and then?"

"In fact, he has already revealed a lot of information in and out of his words, so I guess it is Africa. After all, the British and Germans in West Asia have a very deep penetration and have a long history of culture and heritage. It is not him. There are no specific locations that can be touched by an expedition team of more than 1,000 people."

  "It can be analyzed by the elimination method, maybe it works?"

  Hearing Li Shuanzhu’s words, Duan Qirui's spirit suddenly came. He took a big bite of the crispy and juicy melon and chewed very hard. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I have..."

   "What's the matter... Don't be scared!" Li Shuanzhu was so surprised by his sudden movement that he spilled tea on his body and couldn't help but complain.

  This did not affect Duan Qirui, he was still immersed in what he had just discovered; "Brother Shuan Zhu, listen to my analysis and see if it makes sense!

Let’s set the big goal in Africa. Well, based on the analysis of the information we know, it’s impossible to be on the west coast of Africa, which is much more sensitive than the east coast, and it can’t be South Africa, because that’s the territory of the British and Boers. It can’t be North Africa, it’s the French territory, so the Suez Canal and Egypt can be excluded, and the Kingdom of Ethiopia can also be excluded, because according to what we learned in military geography, the tribal and foreign armed forces in Ethiopia are not low. At 300,000 people, even 300,000 pigs are not something that Brother Xiaopeng’s expedition team can handle.

  The rest is easy

  Only the Horn of Africa in northeastern Africa, and the coastal area from Somalia to the west coast of South Africa, can be roughly reduced to the entire west coast plus the Horn of East Africa. "

   "A little more specific?"

"That's difficult. We don't know if there is a naval force to cooperate. Objectively speaking, with the combat power of our Shangri-La division, landing anywhere on the west coast of Africa can be more than 90% certain to establish a solid base. The only factor It comes from international interference, otherwise I dare say that it is 100% certain."

  Duan Qirui did not delay eating fruit while analyzing, Li Shuanzhu quickly grabbed the last melon in his hand, and then retorted; "Then you set the Africans' force value too low?"

"Brother Shuan Zhu, there is no way this is the case. The generation gap in science and technology cannot be compensated by the bravery of the African warriors. Just bringing a few machine guns is a unilateral massacre. The war between the British and the Zulu has demonstrated all this for us. "Duan Qirui quickly threw the last few grapes into his mouth, his mouth bulged high and the juice was overflowing, and after swallowing, he spit out a few grape skins, acting very skillfully.

Europeans and Arabs have a history of capturing black slaves for hundreds of years, including the war between the British and the Zulu Kingdom, which was also mentioned in the military case analysis class. The black uncle's ability to fight the 5 scum is widely known, and it is not a novelty. .

   "I think... your plantation should grow grapes." Li Shuanzhu said abruptly.

"why?"

  "First of all, you like to eat yourself, and secondly, you can sell fresh grapes or make wine."

   "No, I don't like to drink wine that is sour and autumnal."

  "Well, don't you like the wine lady?" Li Shuanzhu's words could ask Duan Qirui's heart, and he showed a clearly moved expression.

The wine lady is also the grape picking lady worker. According to the French winemaking process, the first step is to put the picked bunch of grapes in the big wooden barrel, and the wine lady enters the big wooden barrel barefoot to step on...Of course, woman Bai Shengsheng's feet are very clean.

  Harvest season

  Women sang joyous songs, standing in the big wooden barrel holding hands and stepping vigorously, the white legs were dazzling, and the body scent mixed with grape fruit scented people's hearts are drunk;

   Thinking of this scene, Duan Qirui became a little enthusiastic, and quickly took a sip of tea to soothe it.

  The two chatted for a while, and the topic talked about the medal system that the General Staff was preparing.

   "Brother Shuan Zhu, you said that our chief of staff will not get a German medal system out?"

"It's hard to tell. Look at our German-style marching, German-style training rules, and every day officers must polish their leather shoes brightly. The military uniforms must not have the seriousness of a wrinkle, and they are not all of the Junker military nobles. set."

"That's possible. I know that Mr. Fritz's eldest son was only 8 years old and he was sent to the juvenile barracks for training. There are other German military officers like this. Boys should be sent to the juvenile barracks at the age of 10 at the latest. Studying, I heard that it is the custom of Junkers military nobles, even the imperial emperor."

"Therefore, many of our officers also follow the same pattern. When the children are seven or eight years old, they are sent to the juvenile barracks to receive rigorous military training and cultural studies and education, and cultivate military demeanor and military honor from the bones. I think it is right. , Our children will do the same in the future."

   "Our children..." Duan Qirui was speechless.

  The two married sisters Hua at the same time last year. So far, nothing has happened. Now Li Shuanzhu has begun to figure out the child's entry to the youth barracks.

  To let the children in his wife’s stomach know that they shouldn’t cry to death!
