Chapter 3 third quarter

At that time, the generals of Beiyang and the Republic of China went to Japan to study military affairs one after another, carrying Oriental swords. Sheng Shicai also left his hometown in Liaodong to study at the Japanese Military Academy.He didn't come to carry a Japanese sword, he aspired to be a real soldier. Sheng Shicai took his uncle's diary with him when he crossed the sea to the east.When my uncle was young, he went to Siberia to build a railway for the tsar. He fought hard in the Siberian desert for three years and completed the Eurasian Continental Bridge.The train went straight to Harbin from Petersburg.

Then came the Russo-Japanese War, when the big nose and the little nose dried up and turned the Northeast into a sea of ​​flames.Uncle stayed in Siberia. During the October Revolution, my uncle organized the Chinese Corps together with the Chinese laborers, went out of Siberia, defeated Denikin and Kolchak, and then moved to the grasslands of South Russia.Their leader was received by Lenin.In this way, his uncle became the idol of young Sheng Shicai.At that time, Zhang Zuolin had already emerged in the Northeast, and Sheng Shicai wanted to vote for Zhang Zuolin.My uncle said: "If you want to lead troops, you have to go to a military academy. Only educated people can lead soldiers to do great things." Many students entered Dashuai Zhang's Northeast Lecture Hall as small platoon leaders and small company commanders.His uncle told him that the best military academy is abroad, where he can learn real skills.

His uncle gave him the diary before he died.The diary is actually a scattered field notebook.Sheng Shicai, a young man, was in a wooden house in the land of Liaodong, reading that distant story by the light of a pine tree.He read the name of Stalin, Budyonny, Voroshinov.Sheng Shicai was attracted by Stalin's name. Although he often saw this name in newspapers, it was interesting to read it from this messy field notebook.A mysterious thing connected him with Stalin. Later, Stalin supported him as the supervisor of Xinjiang border defense. He worked vigorously in the vast northwest frontier for more than ten years.

At the age of seventeen, he could no longer stay in the Northeast, and a very distant and vast territory appeared in his dreams, which was his world.The big meadow and the big forest could no longer block his frantic eyes. He climbed up the hill and looked to the north.But real life could not prove his dream.He checked the map repeatedly, and Xinjiang was swept away in his eyes without leaving any impression.The hotspots on the map have nothing to do with him.His dream is full of powerful vitality but has nowhere to go, his head is almost like a pregnant woman's belly, he has heard the voice of new life, he has realized some characteristics of great people from ancient times to the present: that is, they must Find a vast and free space for your life.Genghis Khan's territory was opened up with war horses, bows and arrows, and Khitan Jurchen and Nurhachi were the most powerful in this field.

He showed unprecedented intelligence and vigilance, and his cloudy and dull eyes suddenly became clear.The abbot of the temple said that it was the aura of the previous life falling on him. He was terrified and ran wildly on the field.Guandong has been a place full of dragon spirit since ancient times. The Changbai Mountains in the Greater and Lesser Xing'an Mountains were born out of the sky, the Songhua River in Heilongjiang and the Wusuli River slid thousands of miles away, and Yelu Abaoji Wanyan Agu beat Genghis Khan. On the first day of school, the well-known military tactician, Harada, gave a lecture at the school, and all the students stood up to pay tribute.Lieutenant General Harada spotted Sheng Shicai in the queue at a glance. Lieutenant General Harada asked his name and place of origin, and said: "Most Chinese students get rich after finishing their studies, and Mr. Sheng came to Japan to study in order to make contributions."

General Harada said many exciting things that day.General Harada said: "I fought in Manchuria during the Sino-Japanese War. We were attacked by hunters in Daxing'an Mountains, and the main force of the division was completely lost. The Kanto people were as fierce as Genghis Khan. Sheng Jun came from Liaodong, and he was probably a descendant of those hunters. " Sheng Shicai was shaking with excitement.After class, a Japanese classmate patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Sheng, the general praised you for saying such things." The Japanese classmate said, "We Japanese are different from you Chinese. We build statues for the Western powers that defeated us." , you Chinese can’t do that.”

"General Harada doesn't know me, how can he know my ambition?" "A soldier's ambition is written on his face. This is General Harada's motto. Chiang Kai-shek, Cai E, and Wu Luzhen were discovered by General Harada in his first class. You are very lucky, Mr. Sheng, to be praised by General Harada."
