Chapter Thirty-Five: Picking Peaches

  Xia Jun is teaching a class at the Army Academy when he receives a phone call, after which he has Wang Guan Jia brought over and then has Chen Xuan Yu continue teaching the students.

  The first class of the Military Academy had only fifty students, all selected from nearly three hundred students. These students were highly enthusiastic about entering the Military Academy because the security team was strong in all aspects, and becoming an officer in the security team would certainly lead to great achievements in the future.

  At the same time, some members of the Guangfu Society were mixed among these students. They had always taken anti-Qing as their purpose and had a great desire to join the Army Academy.

  These students were taught by Xia Jun and Chen Xuan Yu together, Chen Xuan Yu has a higher military quality, with more comprehensive research on deployment, marching, and logistics.

  Xia Jun, compared to his military background, is half a catty and eight taels. After Xia Jun crossed over, he also bought many instructional manuals from the system to study, but in some places, compared to Chen Xuan Yu, a regular military academy student, he still fell short.

  However, in terms of macroscopic view and theory, Xia Jun is obviously much stronger than Chen XuanYu.

  So Xia Jun handed over most of his classes to Chen Xuan Yu, while he taught theoretical courses to the students.

  Zhang Si Dog was also a student of the Army Academy. Since the establishment of the Army Academy, Zhang Si Dog told Xia Jun that he no longer wanted to be the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but instead wanted to lead troops and fight battles. His ideal was to become a general.

  It doesn't matter if Zhang Si Dog is recalled to the army, after all, the army has expanded now, and Xia Jun can already balance in the army.

  The main force is now led by Xia Jun himself, and Lin Chenggui has been transferred to a second-line unit as a company commander. Once the students from the Military Academy are trained, they will take over as officers in the main force units. These students have no foundation in the army and cannot plot a rebellion within the main force. Those with a foundation are sent out to fight, Xia Jun has troops in his hands and controls supplies, plotting a rebellion is also impossible.

  However, Zhang Si's military intelligence agency had no one to take over for the time being, so Xia Jun had to let Zhang Si manage it first, while setting up an intelligence class at the Army Academy.

  Zhang Si Dog was a student in the infantry department on one hand, and a teacher in the intelligence class on the other. He had learned many espionage skills from the books given to him by Xia Jun.

  Zhang Si Dog came to the Military Academy with a good benefit, which is brainwashing.

  "Long live the principal!"

  This slogan was first put forward by Zhang Sigou, and it was not even under the instruction of Xia Jun. The degree of self-awareness made Xia Jun very satisfied.

  To this day, every morning during exercises, students of the Military Academy will recite a slogan.

  Soon this atmosphere spread to the College of Science and Engineering, where teachers and students also admired Xia Jun. Although Xia Jun was young, many students were about the same age as him, but he had ability, level, and a passion for running schools.

  These teachers and students were mostly recruited from the coastal cities of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the Revival Society was active. Many members of the Revival Society were among them, a very radical nationalist group, and Xia Jun also preached nationalism.

  This made many members of the Guangfu Hui very sympathetic to Xia Jun, and many members of the Guangfu Hui immediately joined the Hanmin Party. According to Xia Jun, a society and a party are different, and joining the Hanmin Party does not represent betrayal of the Guangfu Hui.

  The Hanmin Party accepted members from all other parties except the Tongmenghui. In reality, Xia Chao wanted to annex the Guangfu Hui. The Guangfu Hui was also originally part of the Tongmenghui, but because Sun Yat-sen privately accepted funding from Japan, the Guangfu Hui was very dissatisfied and withdrew from the Tongmenghui.

  The members of the Restoration Society were very active in both the Army Academy and the Polytechnic Institute, spreading nationalist ideas and anti-Qing sentiments every day.

  They highly identified with Xia Jun's revolutionary ideas and restoration thoughts.

  Xia Jun's revolutionary idea is to overthrow the Qing government by armed force, while the thought of Guangfu is to treat the landlord class rationally and adopt gentle control measures, making the poor people and landlords rich together.

  Perhaps they didn't agree with just slogans, but Xia Jun brought out actual results, such as the construction of security team factories and the distribution of high-yielding rice.

  There are factories and high-yielding crops that can indeed make the cake bigger, as long as it is divided fairly, it can indeed make all classes rich together.

  This theory was very convincing to the members of the Restoration Society, although at this time it had already developed into more than 7,000 people, but most of them were loose members. They accepted the ideas of the Restoration Society, but when they encountered another group with a more advanced ideology, they did not have any psychological burden to change their allegiance.

  Xia Jun needs these radical young people, a backward country wants to be strong, it must have radicals.

  The Hanmin Party soon absorbed those members of the Kwangbokhoe, and its plan to annex the Kwangbokhoe was being implemented. Those members of the Kwangbokhoe who had been absorbed into the party were now writing letters back home, estimating that more members of the Kwangbokhoe would arrive before long.

  What's the most enjoyable thing in the world? Perhaps reaping the fruits of others' labor is one of them, and Xia Jun was doing just that, plucking the peaches from the Glorious Reunion Pavilion.

  The arrival of these remnants gave Xia Jun's rebellion a backbone, otherwise in the past when a group of people heard about attacking government offices, they were so scared that they almost died, and there were only a few reliable ones.

  ……

  Xia Jun came out of the school and received Wang Guan Jia in the reception room next to the parliament hall. Compared to last time, Wang Guan Jia's face was filled with arrogance, but this time he had a very humble smile.

  "Captain Xia, it's been three days and you're unrecognizable! Wang the housekeeper flattered: "I didn't expect that in such a short time, the security team would become so large."

  "Director Wang is overpraising, I wonder what brings Director Wang to our humble abode?" Xia Jun said with a smile, but his tone was somewhat cold. Li Shilin and this Director Wang had not been very friendly towards him before, they were polite on the surface but didn't take him seriously, Xia Jun understood this very well, so he too was just being polite on the surface.

  "I heard that the security team is purchasing cotton and tobacco, I don't know how much Team Leader Xia wants or what price he's willing to pay. If it's reasonable, our old master actually has some connections." Wang the housekeeper saw that Xia Jun didn't seem very interested, so he didn't say any polite words and directly stated his purpose.

  "This is it! About 80 million catties of tobacco leaves are needed per year, which isn't that much. Cotton is a lot more, our security team's textile mill can process up to 100,000 tons per year, which is 2 billion catties of cotton." Xia Jun said.

  Wang Guan Jia was shocked after hearing it. 80 million catties of tobacco leaves and 200 million catties of cotton? The quantity is indeed enormous.

  Just then, the phone in the reception room rang suddenly, Xia Jun answered the phone, "Hello, I'm the captain."

  "Report to the team leader, Liu Jin sent a telegram saying that he has purchased one million catties of cotton and it has arrived in Fuzhou. He asks us to send a tractor to Fuzhou to transport the goods." The telegraph operator reported.

  "I know, I'll send a telegram to him, and the tractor will arrive in Fuzhou in a few days." Xia Jun said as he hung up the phone, looked at Wang Guanjia and said: "Wang Guanjia, you've come too late! We don't need cotton this month, you can go back!"

  Liu Jinshan brought in 10 million catties of cotton, which was beyond Xia Jun's expectation. He had almost used up all his funds to buy this batch of cotton, so he really didn't need to make another purchase for the time being and would have to wait until his funds were turned over.

  "What... where's the tobacco?" Wang, the housekeeper, had sharp ears and the phone volume was relatively loud, so he also heard the voice on the phone earlier. Seeing Xia Jun giving orders to drive away guests, he felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. Would the task assigned by Master be ruined like this?

  "Let your young lady come and talk to me! Your young lady has been staying at home for so long and can't go out, she will be suffocated." Xia Jun looked at Wang's housekeeper, with a strange cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Wang's face changed suddenly, last time Master deceived him that Miss was not at home, could it be that he found out?
