October 10, 1908, Neijiang City, Naval Headquarters Guest House.
The Naval Headquarters Guest House is located in Meijiashan, Shizhong District, Neijiang City.
Although it is both a guest house, this building is much more ordinary than the Third Division Guest House in Guangzhou.
It is just an ordinary modern-style five-story building with an unremarkable gray appearance.
The decoration and furnishings can only be described as clean and tidy, far from being luxurious.
Compared with the splendid ones in the third division, it is , it is as inconspicuous as an ugly duckling.
Although the facilities inside are much more advanced, they not only have air conditioning, heating, and radios, but also telegraphs, movies, telephones, and even an airship parking lot on the roof.
But everything is practical, without a trace of superfluous decorative style, which greatly reduces its fashionability.
But for Li Ang, this simple place feels much more intimate.
Because this is the navy's own territory.
Li Ang looked at the brand new uniform in the full-length mirror, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
When it comes to military uniforms, he has worn uniforms from the United States, Britain, Germany and the Qing Navy, but he still feels that the officer uniform of the People's Navy is the most suitable.
In fact, this is more of his psychological effect.
To be honest, from a global perspective, this People's Liberation Army's Type 08 uniform is not the most beautiful.
It is just very close-fitting, with a simple and capable shape, no unnecessary bits and pieces, and a completely practical design.
This set of military uniforms is based on the Type 07 military uniform from the original time and space.
It has been optimized and designed, mainly by changing the color and some details.
To be honest, the original Time and Space 07-style military uniform basically copied European and American styles.
Although the appearance is better than the previous style, it is not suitable for Asians.
Especially the roll-brimmed hats and beanie hats worn by female soldiers were so ugly that they couldn't look straight at them.
When the roll-brimmed hats were worn on the head, it was like a toilet.
The beanie hat looks like a steamed bun, which looks awkward anyway.
Therefore, this 08-style military uniform has been completely revised, and the ugly roll-brimmed hats and brimless hats have been completely removed.
Both men and women have adopted large caps with reduced brim.
Patterns with some traditional elements, such as cloud patterns, water patterns, and tiger-shaped patterns, are added to buttons and decorative belts, and the styles are adjusted to be more suitable for Oriental people.
Li Ang adjusted his military uniform in the full-length mirror.
When he saw the rank of captain on his shoulders, he couldn't help but feel a little bit amused.
On October 3, he flew directly from Guangzhou to Neijiang on a navy liaison airship, and went to the headquarters for an interview the next day.
What surprised him was that the chief examiner of the interview was Navy Commander Rear Admiral Wang Tiechui himself, and the interview place was actually a large sand table room.
Commander Wang looked to be a few years older than him, and Li Ang was a little arrogant at first.
But after saying a few words about the scene and getting down to the main topic, Li Ang, who always prided himself on being a talented person, was actually asked many times and was left speechless and blushing.
Even the battleship command, which he was proud of, had countless loopholes pointed out by Wang Tiechui.
He was shocked to discover that although Commander Wang was unknown, he was almost as familiar as a monster with the navies of various countries.
The parameters, advantages and disadvantages of various warships, the advantages and disadvantages of the strategies and tactics of various navies, and the main generals of various countries.
Its characteristics are indistinguishable from those of countless treasures.
The most terrifying thing is that he also has countless wonderful new tactics, which although unheard of, are extremely reasonable.
This interview lasted for three days.
During these three days, Commander Wang cooked vegetables on the sand table.
He and Li Ang conducted many on-site simulation exercises, and he simulated these tactics on the sand table, killing Li Ang to pieces and defeating the army many times in a row.
After seven or eight simulated battles, Li Ang tried his best but never won once.
He didn't even lose in a good way.
They were all defeated, miserably defeated and the entire army was annihilated.
Later, Commander Wang didn't use any new tactics, just a series of traditional tactics, and he was defeated.
This record of mawei really made Li Ang obedient.
Finally, Commander Wang said: "Comrade Li Ang, based on the interviews over the past few days, my comments to you are as follows: you are a qualified naval officer, but that's all.

If you were in other armies, you might be an excellent Officer, but here, you can only be considered barely qualified.
Although our People's Navy is a newly formed navy, we are a brand new army that is different from previous armies.
You know.
There are major flaws in your intellectual structure.
You seriously lack the understanding and application of new weapons and new tactics, and you also extremely lack the overall concept of the army.
A qualified commander must not only be able to command operations, but also understand and adjust army officers and soldiers.
You also need to have an understanding of all aspects of the military, the ability to improve and improve these affairs, and a world-wide overall view.
You are lacking in these aspects."
Commander Wang criticized him until he was sweating, but he was right on point, and he couldn't even find a reason to refute.
After more than ten minutes, Commander Wang finally let go of Li Ang, who was sweating profusely and shaking.
Finally, he extended his hand to him and said: "Okay, I now announce that your interview has passed, Comrade Li Ang.
You are welcome to join the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.
You are now an official member of us."
At this time, Li Ang was sweating profusely, his feet were weak, and he was in a trance.
It took him a few seconds to stand up and shake hands with Commander Wang.
He felt that his palms were full of cold sweat.
"Okay, now you go to the military registration office to register and get your officer ID and military uniform.
Xiao Wu, take him there."
Finally, General Wang ordered his secretary.
Li Ang was confused about what happened after that.
He followed the female officer to the military registration office, registered, signed, and took photos mechanically, and received his officer's ID and military uniform, and then was sent back to the guest house.
As soon as he returned to his residence, he fell on the bed and slept for a night before he regained his energy.
When he opened his military uniform in the morning, he saw that it had the rank of second lieutenant.
This made him a little disappointed.
He was already a lieutenant when he was an intern in the UK, but he was demoted when he returned home.
However, the intimidation in the interview was so powerful that he didn't have any dissatisfaction with being demoted.
Based on his experience in the navies of major powers, he has never seen such a powerful commander.
He is simply a monster-like existence.
As a result, just as Li Ang brushed his teeth, washed his face, and put on his military uniform, someone came.
Officers from the three headquarters came to his residence.
The leader was the deputy director of the Military Registration Office.
After greeting him without any nonsense, he took out a document and said to Li Ang: "Second Lieutenant Li Ang, The command has informed you that due to your outstanding performance while studying abroad, after discussion with the head of the command, it has been decided to promote you to the rank of lieutenant in the navy with immediate effect."
"Please sign this notice and register at the Military Registration Office as soon as possible, change your officer ID, and receive a new military rank."
The major handed over a notice, and Li Ang took it and saw that it was indeed a promotion.
He quickly signed his name.
The major smiled and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations, comrade lieutenant."
With complicated emotions, Li Ang followed them to the military registration office to register, change his military officer's certificate, and receive the new rank of lieutenant.
He found the tailor at the headquarters and put on the new military rank.
The next morning, he was just about to get up and had not brushed his teeth when the officers from the military registration office came again.
Another promotion notice, the reason is "excellent performance in the Guangdong and Guangxi battles and achieved significant results."
So, he went to the military registration office and repeated what happened yesterday.
When he got here, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran to Wang Tiechui to ask what happened.
Wang Tiechui explained with a smile: "Based on your performance, you should have been awarded the title of captain.
However, our army currently stipulates that military academy graduates can only have the rank of second lieutenant, and they cannot be promoted beyond the rank during war.
In your case, there are no regulations I’ve thought about it, that’s why it’s like this, haha.”

Then Wang Tiechui said: "You came just in time, I will give you a task now."
"Commander please give instructions."
Li Ang quickly stood at attention.
"As an inspector of our navy, you will go to various research institutes and factories starting tomorrow.
The first is to understand the progress, the second is to urge me on the progress, and the third is to understand the use and basic data of these equipment.
Here is Where you need to go?"
Wang Tiechui handed him a list.
"You go back to the guest house now.
A car will pick you up tomorrow."
Just as Captain Li Ang rushed to each unit to speed up progress, Commander Wang was also welcoming a new comrade.
"Commander Wang, this is Supervisor Xie" "Thank you, Supervisor, this is our Commander Wang."
This Supervisor Xie was a middle-aged man wearing a Qing navy uniform.
After the introduction, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I, Xie Baozhang, come to see Commander Wang."
Wang Tiechui returned the gift with a smile and said: "Thank you, supervisor.
I have been looking up to you for a long time.
Please come in.
Let's go in and talk."
This Xie Baozhang was the first supervising principal of the Yantai Naval Academy of the Qing Dynasty.
Xie Baozhang became the principal in the winter of 1903, the 29th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu.
Due to his outstanding leadership, Yantai Naval Academy developed rapidly.
In just a few years, it caught up with and surpassed some established naval schools, ranking first among the four naval schools in the late Qing Dynasty.
Yantai Naval Academy has a three-year academic system and specializes in training ship commanders.
In the original time and space, this school was the naval school that trained the most command officers in modern China.
During the Anti-Japanese War, more than 80 captains of the Chinese Navy were graduates of this school.
However, Xie Baozhang was a patriotic soldier with progressive ideas and was increasingly dissatisfied with the corrupt rule of the Qing government and the decline of the Chinese navy.
After he came into contact with Wen Desi's materialistic China, he determined that only scientific socialism could save China and revitalize the Chinese navy, and he has since become a devout believer in scientific socialism.
At the same time, like Cai E, he also used his position to spread the ideas of materialism and scientific socialism among teachers and students at Yantai Naval Academy.
Influenced by progressive ideas, almost all students and most teachers at Yantai Naval Academy became members of the Materialist China Reading Club.
They subscribed to a large number of newspapers, periodicals and books of the Science and Socialist Party that were banned by the Qing government, and often organized study sessions.
After the official uprising of the Socialist Party of Science and Technology, secret contact was established with it immediately.
Various progressive activities in Yantai Naval Academy have attracted the attention of the Qing government, and some officials reported that there were a large number of "rebellious parties" in the school.
Last month, the Qing government finally ordered a thorough investigation of the Yantai Naval Academy.
After receiving the news, the Socialist Party of Science and Technology immediately notified them and arranged for their evacuation.
In this way, under the cover of the Socialist Party's intelligence agency, Xie Baozhang ran away with almost the entire Yantai Naval Academy.
They took three American-flagged ships and sailed to the Shanghai Public Concession, then transferred ships from Shanghai to Wuchang, and then took a train to Neijiang.
What made the Qing court gnash their teeth was that Lao Xie not only took the people away, but also took them with them.
He also packed up the entire school's books, teaching materials, funds, weapons, and all kinds of equipment and equipment that could be taken away
