Chapter 6: Summoned by the Principal

  For several days, Sun Xinghua discussed with Wang Jun and Cai Guangji the issue of forming a third camp, and Sun Xinghua also proposed some advanced military training methods for future generations, writing them into simple training outlines, which were handed over to Wang Jun and others to study.

  The students of Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou also returned to Huangpu Island under the leadership of Principal Chiang Kai-shek.

  After Chiang Kai-shek returned, the first thing he did was to inspect the learning situation of the second and third periods, and also comforted some wounded soldiers who participated in the battle.

  It wasn't until evening that Chiang Kai-shek returned to his office, whereupon he ordered his attendants to summon He Yingqin and Sun Xinghua, inquiring about the formation of the Third Regiment.

  Chiang Kai-shek's office was located in a two-story small building on the military school. This is both the location of the school headquarters and the temporary residence of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru after they came to the military school. On the right side of the large office in the middle of the upstairs, there is a small room with only a few square meters, where a bed was placed after a simple cleanup.

  "Chiang Kai-shek sat in his chair and casually asked, 'How is the organization of the third battalion going? Are there enough troops? What about the weapons and ammunition?'"

  He Yingqin was recently in charge of school teaching work and did not participate in the formation of the third regiment, so he looked at Sun Xinghua on one side.

  "Headmaster, the third battalion is formed smoothly and can be established before November. The weapons and personnel are sufficient, there is no problem at all. After establishment, after two or three months of training, it will definitely become an elite troop." Sun Xinghua reported urgently.

  Chiang Kai-shek nodded in satisfaction and said to Sun Xinghua, "On the 25th, I will personally inspect the troops of the Third Regiment. According to Premier Sun's idea, we also need to form a second regiment and establish our own army. This way, from now on, whatever needs to be done can be carried out by our own troops, without having to ask those warlords for help."

  Saying this, Chiang Kai-shek's face showed some dissatisfaction. He had a lot of opinions about Yang Ximin and Liu Zhenhuan, but now he didn't have the power to do anything, so he could only swallow his anger.

  "Principal rest assured, at most a year, we will definitely have an elite team." He Yingqin looked at Chiang Kai-shek's expression and hastily said.

  Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly and pointed to the sofa beside him, saying: "Sit down and talk."

  After seeing the two sit down, Chiang Kai-shek's expression turned serious.

  "This time, the suppression of the merchant group, Yang Ximin's order to Premier Sun was perfunctory. He did not want us to have an army, nor did he want me to command it. But in this battle, the student army gave me great encouragement. I believe that as long as Huangpu is here, with you instructors and those students, we will establish a powerful army and use it to fulfill Premier Sun's wishes." Chiang Kai-shek said solemnly.

  He Yingqin and Sun Xinghua nodded in agreement with Chiang Kai-shek's opinion.

  "Madam Chiang." Seeing Chen Jieyu walk in from outside, He Yingqin and Sun Xinghua hastily stood up and said.

  Chen Jieyu smiled and looked at Chiang Kai-shek saying: "Dinner is ready, shall we invite Officer He and Officer Sun to join us for the meal?"

  Chiang Kai-shek looked at his watch and nodded, saying: "Good."

  After having dinner at Chiang Kai-shek's place, I also listened to a lot of revolutionary principles from him, as well as the necessity of setting up an instructional corps. It wasn't until after seven o'clock that I left his office.

  He Yingqin was still busy with something and stayed in the school headquarters, while Sun Xinghua was bored and walked back to the dormitory alone.

  "Merit: 30. Self-defense mode: Level 1. Supplement: 20 bullets, three hand grenades."

  "System search: No other personnel supplement."

  "Merit Redeemable: Thompson Submachine Gun, Browning Automatic Rifle. Redeem?"

  Just as Sun Xinghua was walking back to his dormitory, the voice echoed in his mind once again.

  Thinking of the Thompson submachine gun's firepower, Sun Xinghua swallowed his saliva, but as for himself, the deputy regimental commander, the possibility of directly rushing to the front line was not great. After hesitating for a moment, Sun Xinghua chose to exchange it for a Browning automatic rifle.

  "Browning automatic rifle 1, magazine 2, bullets 120 rounds. Colt pistol bullets 20 rounds, hand grenades 3. Replenishment location, Huangpu Island, China, Sun Xinghua dormitory. Please confirm."

  "Confirmed." Sun Xinghua said in his heart.

  After finishing speaking, Sun Xinghua hurriedly ran towards the dormitory, preparing to check his new weapon.

  "Hint: 50 merits can be exchanged for a 37mm infantry cannon, now merits 0."

  "I'm damned, why didn't you say so earlier." Sun Xinghua stopped in his tracks and cursed loudly.

  He understood the situation, the teaching team was not lacking in machine gun firepower, but on artillery, it was extremely lacking, and the only ones they had were a few Russian-aided artillery pieces.

  "Director Sun, what's wrong." Chen Gong walked over from behind, but Chen Gong naturally didn't know the meaning of Sun Xinghua's words.

  "It's okay, it's okay." Sun Xinghua smiled awkwardly.

  Chen Gang didn't mind anything, looking at Sun Xinghua and saying: 'Officer Sun, tomorrow is Sunday, there's no school drill, are we going to continue leading us to Guangzhou for revolutionary propaganda?'

  Sun Xinghua thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you contact the people, those who are willing to go will go tomorrow."

  In memory, Sun Xinghua's family was not bad. Although Sun Xinghua ran away from marriage and came to Guangzhou to serve as the deputy principal of Huangpu Military Academy, his elder brother Sun Jianhua, who was abroad, would send him a sum of money every month, which was Sun Xinghua's main source of living expenses.

  Although Sun Xinghua's monthly salary was over 300, which is considered good, the financial resources were now in the hands of various warlords. These warlords did not want Sun Yat-sen to have his own troops and made things difficult for the Whampoa Military Academy everywhere. If half of the teachers' and students' salaries could be paid, it would already be quite good.

  "Yes, Instructor Sun." Chen Gong excitedly replied and ran over to one side.

  Sun Xinghua suddenly remembered the weapon in his dormitory and quickly ran back to the dormitory.

  After returning to the dormitory, Sun Xinghua searched carefully and did not find the weapon. Finally, it was found in the box under the bed, a Browning automatic rifle. Although this weapon is called an automatic rifle, in fact, in the United States, it is used as a light machine gun. However, even as a light machine gun, there are still many problems, especially the 20-round magazine, which is the most fatal flaw, and cannot guarantee the continuity of firepower.

  "If I had known, I wouldn't have exchanged it. It would be better to exchange for a cannon." Sun Xinghua said with some dissatisfaction, but looking at the automatic rifle in front of him, he also had no way out. Anyway, it's already been exchanged and can't be returned.

  Gradually, the surroundings quieted down, and the sky also gradually darkened.

  Sun Xinghua lay in bed, recalling all sorts of things, and fell into deep thought.
