Although Chen Zikun and George tried their best to pretend not to care, they were still shocked by this unexpected news and opened their mouths wide.
Because this is so bizarre.
For a long time, the U.S.
Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has been the number one rival of West Point.
Even the walls of the cadet dormitories at West Point have the words "Come on Army, sink the Navy" spray-painted in eye-catching yellow paint. is a slogan commonly used at the annual Army-Navy football game starting in 1890.
As the captain of the West Point football team, George Howard naturally had a deep hatred for a group of guys in navy uniforms in Annapolis.
At this moment, asking him to transfer to the Annapolis Naval Academy was even more embarrassing than dropping out of school.
He couldn't tolerate it.
As for Chen Zikun, he was even more surprised.
The educational system of West Point is four years, and he only attended it for two years.
How could he get a diploma?
MacArthur turned out from behind the table, put his hands on George's shoulders, and looked at him with earnest eyes: "George, go to Annapolis, help those Navy boys improve their poor football skills, and teach them by the way.
How to fight on land."
George was silent for a while.
He understood the principal's good intentions.
Only by transferring to another school could he continue his dream of becoming an officer.
The U.S.
Army was very small and there were basically no decent military schools except West Point, such as the Virginia Military Academy.
The school has nothing to do with West Point.
Relatively speaking, the Marine Warfare Department of the Annapolis Naval Academy should be the best choice.
The Annapolis Naval Academy not only trains ship officers, but also produces outstanding Marine Corps officers.
The Marine Corps is a special army that can conduct combat operations under the orders of the president without congressional approval.
That is to say, in As a Marine, you have more opportunities to fight.
Of course, the Marine Corps also has many shortcomings.
Grandma doesn't love his uncle, and the equipment is obsolete by the Army.
But this is no longer the scope of George's consideration.
What he thinks about now is that he has the opportunity to put on the military uniform again.
"Yes, sir" George replied.
"As for you, kid, here is a document that can answer your questions."
MacArthur took out a file bag from the filing cabinet and handed it to Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun took the file bag, and the familiar Chinese characters came into view: "Initiation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China."
It turned out to be a diplomatic document, the content of which was about Chen Zikun's recommendation for government-sponsored overseas students.
It contained the authorization from the President, a note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and approval documents from the U.S.
Department of State and the Department of War.
The time was last spring.
"Unfortunately, you cannot graduate as a formal West Point student and can only graduate as a foreign trainee.
This is your academic qualification document.
I think it will be useful to you."
MacArthur said to Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun was speechless.
This special "graduation certificate" was finally better than nothing.
It could finally be used to fend off Marshal Wu, who had ardent hopes for him.
The two countries were thousands of miles apart, and those who had gone abroad in China were rare.
Linjiao, Wang Geng is the only one who has studied at West Point.
As long as he doesn't see the diploma, basically this lie can be fulfilled.

Besides, it has MacArthur's signature on it, so it can't be considered a fake.
Educational qualifications In any case, he did make a mistake, and the principal's arrangement was the most benevolent.
Chen Zikun took a step back and raised his hands in salute with George.
MacArthur's face became serious, heeled together, and solemnly returned the greeting, saying: "No matter where we go, let us remember the motto of West Point."
"Responsibility, honor, country."
The two former West Point students answered in unison.
After finally finishing his studies at West Point, Chen Zikun was both disappointed and smug, because a broader world was waiting for him.
The 10,000 bounty was added up to five, and each person was divided into 5,000.
Then Chen Zikun paid the landlord a sum of money, and then came to New York with George.
The two hugged each other and said goodbye at Manhattan Grand Central Station.
George About to go to Maryland to continue his military career, Chen Zikun took the subway to the hotel where Jian Bing was staying.
As soon as he entered the door, Jian Bing rushed forward and hugged Chen Zikun tightly.
Chen Zikun caught a glimpse of a New York Times on the table, which published a report about an explosion on a street in Brooklyn and the death of several people.
He gently stroked Jian Bing's back and comforted him softly: "It's okay, it's all over."
"It's too scary.
Let's leave here.
I really can't stay here for another day."
Jian Bing said with tears.
What happened that day greatly stimulated her.
She didn't feel scared at the time.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she felt.
If she had If people are in the house, the consequences will be disastrous.
"We are leaving New York and the United States right now."
Chen Zikun comforted her.
"Really" Jian Bing couldn't believe his ears, because Chen Zikun was not finished with his studies and could not leave without permission.
"Of course it's true."
Chen Zikun took out his "graduation certificate" and showed it to her.
Although Jian Bing could basically communicate with Americans in spoken English, he still couldn't pass the written test.
He was so elated with this certificate signed by MacArthur that he thought It's a real diploma.
As soon as he left, Chen Zikun packed his luggage and went to Pacino's house to say goodbye to the old man.
He hadn't seen him for a while.
Anthony seemed to have aged a lot, but he was still in good spirits.
It was said that the Pacino family's business had been very good recently and they had taken over Brooke.
There are many lands in the forest, and Mario is busy counting money all day long and has no time to go home.
Old Pacino did not reveal the matter, and Chen Zikun would not take the initiative to bring it up.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and just talked about some happy things.
Before leaving, old Anthony said solemnly: "Dear Chen, you Always a friend of the Pacino family, just a telegram if necessary, you understand."
After bidding farewell to the Mafia, bidding farewell to New York, and bidding farewell to the United States, Chen Zikun and Jian Bing boarded a cruise ship sailing to England.
He read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles.
His journey to study was only halfway through.
At this time, Gu Weijun was no longer the minister to the UK.
After signing the Treaty on Solving the Shandong Unsolved Cases and the Nine-Nation Convention on behalf of China, this diplomatic wizard had a prosperous official career and had been promoted to the Director-General of Foreign Affairs.
Naturally, Chen Zikun could not find him, and the new minister could not find him.
I am familiar with it and can only travel independently in London.
Fortunately, after two years of living in the United States, I am already very familiar with the European and American lifestyle, and it is not as strange as when I first arrived the year before last.

Chen Zikun visited Oxford University and Cambridge University in the UK, and stayed in London for a while.
He went to the British Library to study every day.
When he read the Communist Manifesto two years ago, it was as a hypnotic reading, but after reading some philosophical works, Gradually I feel that Marx's theory still makes some sense.
Because Jian Bing couldn't stand the smog weather in London, Chen Zikun had to end his trip to London hastily, cross the channel by boat, and come to the romantic city, Paris again.
When he was studying at West Point, Chen Zikun kept in touch with Zhou Enlai, a student from Tianjin whom he met on a cruise ship.
Now that he is in France, he naturally wants to visit him.
Paris is the fashion capital of the world.
Jian Bing was busy shopping for perfume and fashion, so Chen Zikun had to go there alone.
Zhou Enlai's residence was a small hotel on Avenue François near Place d'Italie in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
Chen Zikun According to the map, I found No. 17, Avenue François.
Sure enough, I saw a three-story building with a hotel sign.
Downstairs, there were several small round tables under the ivy shelves, and several Chinese people were sitting there drinking. coffee.
Chen Zikun stepped forward quickly and said: "Brother Enlai, you are fine."
Zhou Enlai's eyes lit up and he quickly stood up and shook hands with Chen Zikun warmly: "Brother Kunwu, when did you arrive, why didn't you notify me in advance?"
The three people at the same table also stood up and smiled politely.
Zhou Enlai said: "Let me introduce to you.
This is Chen Zikun whom I often mentioned, a friend who studied military in the United States.
This is Wang Ruofei, and this is Nie Rongzhen, this kid.
It’s Deng Xixian.”
Chen Zikun shook hands with them one by one and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you."
After Zhou Enlai’s introduction, Chen Zikun knew that these students were working-study students in France.
Wang Ruofei was from Guizhou and had traveled to Japan and was now working part-time in France.
Nie Rongzhen and Deng Xixian were both from Sichuan, and the former was working in Charlevoix, Belgium.
He studied chemical engineering in college, and the latter worked in the Hutchinson Rubber Factory.
The three of them were friends of Zhou Enlai, and they would get together to chat when they had nothing to do.
Zhou Enlai was very happy to meet his old friends again.
He ordered a cup of coffee for Chen Zikun and a basket of crispy croissants.
Everyone ate happily and enjoyed themselves.
While chatting, they mentioned the past when they both came to France together.
It turned out that they both arrived in France at about the same time.
Deng Xixian was two months earlier than Zhou Enlai.
When Chen Zikun arrived in Marseille, he was already in Baye in the Normandy region.
I took French lessons in middle school.
Deng Xixian is a short young man with energetic eyes.
When talking about his life and study experience in France, he talked endlessly and with emotion.
He said it was a work-study program, but in fact he spent most of his time working, because if he didn’t work, he would have nothing.
Eat.
"When I worked at the Schneider Steel Machinery Combined Plant, I did all kinds of hard work, including transporting coal, transporting steel bars and iron filings.
I had to work day and night.
The workshop was hot and dirty.
I was short and weak, and I often had to work hard.
When I was scolded by the foreman, I thought at that time that capitalists would exploit workers in this way for their own sake.
Later, I finally understood that this is the essence of capitalism."
Deng Xixian spoke in thick Sichuan dialect, blowing out a stream of smoke from his nose.
Come.

These days, politics is a very fashionable topic.
Chen Zikun put the information he saw in the British Library to use.
He immediately started talking about various terms and nouns.
Everyone who listened nodded frequently.
Zhou Enlai made a gesture to Deng Xixian.
With a wink, the latter immediately went upstairs and brought down a mimeographed magazine.
"Brother Kunwu, there are some articles here.
Take it back and read it.
It may be of some use."
Zhou Enlai handed over the magazine.
Chen Zikun took it and took a look.
There were two big words on the cover: Youth:
