Due to the special nature of the Air Force, the number of graduates from the Randolph Air Force Academy is less than 500 each year. Compared with the thousands of graduates from Army schools each year, the number of graduates from the Air Force Academy is much smaller.
The main reason why the number of air force cadets is small is that the elimination rate of the air force is astonishingly high.
Like the U.S. Marine Corps, the pilots who come out of Randolph Air Force Academy are the best of the best.
If it weren't for the fact that 22 people including Zhou Zhihan were overseas students appointed by the Chinese National Government, at least half of these 22 international students would have been eliminated and returned to China three months ago.
Of course, a large part of the reason here is because the National Government has military cooperation with the US military, such as the purchase of fighter jets, anti-aircraft artillery, cannons, guns and ammunition and other weapons and equipment.
In 1937, the U.S. Military Academy was open to almost all countries in the world. The advantage of doing so was to recruit the world's elite, and it was also a business card for the United States' foreign propaganda.
Many graduates who have returned from studying in the United States have either joined the military or politics. When they become successful, they will naturally not forget that they started taking off while studying in the United States. Therefore, with a grateful heart, they will work sincerely with the United States in various fields. cooperate.
Although Japan has the reputation of being the best army in the world at this time, they have never stopped learning. Every year, they send many overseas students to Western military powers to learn the advanced military knowledge of various countries. After returning home, they will be in line with their own country's military technology concepts. Compare and learn from each other's strengths to make up for each other's weaknesses, and the military becomes stronger.
By the time the junior cadets at Randolph Air Force Academy entered the huge junior playground, 21 Chinese students had already been exercising for half an hour and were standing by the playground drinking water, resting and chatting.
Randolph's instructors agree with the hard work and studiousness of Chinese international students. Although there is a certain gap between these Chinese international students and European, American and Japanese students in terms of physical fitness, as long as they have a motivated heart, these gaps will gradually be narrowed.
Randolph Air Force Academy's requirements for its cadets are not just physical fitness, but comprehensive abilities.
Physical fitness is only an important part of comprehensive ability.
After all, aircraft in the early days of World War II were all mechanically operated and controlled, which placed great demands on the physical fitness of the pilots.
"It's the Chinese people again! For the past month or so, they have been doing morning exercises half to an hour early every day, rain or shine. It seems they want to show results and surpass us!"
Japanese international student Hasegawa Ryuji said to Satomi Kotarō while running.
Satomi Kotarō is the leader of this group of 13 Japanese students. Before he came to study in the United States, he was well-known in the Japanese military academy. He is proficient in various firearms shooting, a karate master, and has flown various Japanese trainer aircraft. For him, Naturally, the U.S. Military Academy welcomes the trainees with applause, and they can form good military exchanges with the U.S. trainees.
"No matter how you practice, the sick man of East Asia is the sick man of East Asia." Kotarō Satomi looked at the Chinese students with a look of contempt on his lips, "I heard from reliable sources that another of their students flew here from the Military Academy at West Point yesterday. It’ll probably come around seven o’clock.”
Hasegawa Ryuji said: "Talang-kun is talking about the Chinese student Zhou Zhihan who defeated Sakamoto Ryunosuke?"
Satomi Kotarō nodded: "According to reliable information, this Chinese student has made rapid progress recently, and even the U.S. Marine Corps has taken a liking to him. We cannot take him lightly. We must give him a blow and kill him." of self-confidence.
Once a Chinese person's self-confidence collapses, the whole person will collapse within a short period of time, and then look for opportunities to cripple him and make his life worse than death.
hehe!
We just want to make the confidence of this group of Chinese people completely collapse, and finally they will be eliminated by Randolph and go back to China.
The Chinese are only worthy of being like cows and horses with us Japanese. "
Hasegawa Ryuji said: "Don't worry, Tailang-kun. The Chinese student named Zhou Zhihan won't be able to get here before 7 o'clock. It's a 14-kilometer, 30-kilogram cross-country. Among the Asian students, only you, Tailang-kun, can do it within an hour and a half." To complete it, even these European students, not many can do it, let alone the sick man of East Asia!"
Although what Hasegawa Ryuji said was a bit flattering, Satomi Kotarō still had a proud smile on his face. Although he had never run 30 kilometers or 14 kilometers cross-country, his 1 hour and 15 minutes of 30 kilograms and 10 kilometers cross-country was what he achieved in two months. It was set before. So far, no one in the entire Randolph Air Force Academy has been able to break his record!
Hasegawa Ryuji continued: "I estimate that the ability of the Chinese student named Zhou Zhihan was exaggerated by New York. Maybe New York is trying to cover up their incompetence!"
Zhou Zhihan's defeat of Ryunosuke Sakamoto at West Point Military Academy has long been secretly reported to Satomi Kotarō and others, but the Chinese students know nothing about it. Their news is too closed!
However, the international students still knew that Zhou Zhihan was coming back here today, and they had prepared a simple welcome ceremony for Zhou Zhihan. As for what time they would arrive, they didn't know. The instructor said they might arrive in the morning.
The burly Northeastern Han Wangcheng whispered to the students: "The Japanese students are here, brothers, cheer up! It's that bitch Satomi Kotarō again. One day I heard him chatting with American students and said that he My brother killed many of my compatriots and soldiers during the September 18th Incident."
"Ma De, look for an opportunity to kill this bitch. He shows off his power in front of us every day!" Duan Ziyou spat out a curse in the direction of Hao Tailang.
"Don't say anything, the little devil is here." Wang Cheng whispered, "The little devil can understand what we say, but we can't let them know what we think."
The Japanese students ran past the Chinese students, with their faces held high and their chins pointed forward, showing contempt for them.
Since arriving at Randolph Air Force Academy three months ago, Japanese students have completely gained the upper hand in many overt and covert confrontations with Chinese students, forming a one-sided suppression.
"Made..."
Seeing the Japanese students entering the playground one by one with arrogant and arrogant expressions, all the Chinese students responded with cold faces and sneers. No matter what, they cannot lose their momentum in front of the Japanese, especially abroad.
Most of these Chinese students are children from wealthy families. Their training in the domestic army was average. Therefore, after arriving at the Randolph Air Force Academy, they were completely suppressed by the Japanese students. Fortunately, they all have a patriotic heart. Although they have repeatedly encountered various conflicts with the Japanese He was at a disadvantage in the competition, but his mental outlook was not lost. A month ago, he started training every morning and evening in an effort to close the gap with the Japanese.
This morning, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton arrived earlier than usual. He appeared in the middle of the playground at half past six, wearing a well-fitting school uniform, a purple beret, shiny leather shoes, and a hand in his mouth. Smoking his signature gold-rimmed white pipe, he kept looking at his watch after 6:40.
A few days ago, Randolph Air Force Academy received a call from the Marine Corps inquiring about the files of Chinese cadet Zhou Zhihan.
When he heard that Zhou Zhihan had achieved excellent results in the physical fitness test for West Point graduates, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton thought he had heard wrong. He did not believe that Zhou Zhihan, who had been dismissed from the school a few days ago, could actually complete a great comeback. , achieved such excellent results.
When Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton went to report the matter to the principal, Major General Pat Plouffe, the principal had just finished speaking with Major General Arthur King.
Major General Arthur King told Major General Pat Prove the reason why Zhou Zhihan changed from a salted fish to a shark, and bluntly said that this Chinese student is a rare military genius. If he can be kept in The United States, if you cultivate it well, you will have a bright future and will become a great asset to the country.
Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton showed up at the training ground early. He just wanted to see if Zhou Zhihan could complete the 14 kilometers, 30 kilograms, and armed cross-country that he deliberately arranged to complete within two hours.
Considering that Zhou Zhihan's long-distance flight was physically tiring, as long as he could complete the armed cross-country within two hours, it would mean that all the results he had achieved at West Point Military Academy were real.
To be honest, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton and Major General Pat Plouffe did not believe that Zhou Zhihan could complete such a major counterattack in just a few months.
After 40 minutes of stretching, morning running, and morning exercises, the students spread out to rest, drink water, and use the toilet. After fifteen minutes, everyone will perform push-ups and return runs that must be accepted every day. practise.
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton looked at his watch again. At 6:51, Zhou Zhihan had not yet appeared.
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton shook his head. It seemed that the results obtained by the Chinese cadet named Zhou Zhihan at West Point Military Academy were false. If he was as good as West Point Military Academy said, he should be able to complete 14 points in two hours. Kilometers of armed off-roading.
At this time, a sergeant walked into the crowd and whispered to Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton: "Chinese student Zhou Zhihan did not immediately go on an armed cross-country trip after getting off the plane at 5 o'clock. Instead, he slept until 6 o'clock and then went to I’ll leave from here at the airport.”
Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton was completely disappointed. He shrugged his shoulders, spread his palms, and shook his head. Zhou Zhihan must have known that he couldn't get here in two hours, so he gave up and rested in place until dawn.
Talking about a promising future and being an important weapon of the country are all lies.
Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Jack Linton's disappointed look, Hasegawa Ryuji guessed that the Chinese Xianyu would definitely not arrive before 7 o'clock, so he stretched and deliberately walked step by step towards the place where the Chinese students were resting. .
"Hey! Chinese, I heard that your most powerful student, Zhou Zhihan, will be back today."
All the Chinese students ignored Hasegawa Ryuji.
Judging from the face of the Japanese, it seems that they have no good intentions.
“I heard reliable information that your hero Zhou Zhihan took doping at West Point Military Academy and achieved very good results.
Therefore, Randolph specially arranged an armed cross-country trip for him today. If he can get here before 7 o'clock, it means that the results he achieved at West Point Military Academy are true.
If he can't get here before 7 o'clock, it means that you Chinese really took stimulants at West Point Military Academy in order to get good grades. If word of this gets out, haha..."
Hasegawa Ryuji, you said with a smile, the loopholes in what he said were deliberately intended to attack these Chinese students.
All Chinese students were silent.
Let Zhou Zhihan complete 14 kilometers and 30 kilograms of cross-country in 2 hours. Not to mention the Japanese, even all Chinese students don't believe it.
Everyone knows the difficulty of 30kg cross-country. After exceeding 5 kilometers, the difficulty doubles for every additional 4 kilometers.
Currently, the best time for a 30kg 5-kilometer cross-country is 22 minutes, a 30-kilogram 9-kilometer time has to be doubled to 44 minutes, and a 14-kilometre 30-kilogram cross-country time requires at least 100 minutes.
100 minutes is something Zhou Zhihan, who is tired from a long journey, would never be able to do. Based on his previous results, it would be difficult for him to add 100 minutes.
The international students knew how much Zhou Zhihan weighed, so asking him to run a 14-kilometer armed cross-country was another excuse for the Japanese to ridicule him.
Chinese students remain silent.
"Go to hell." A moment later, Chinese student Wu Jiangtao cursed in Mandarin at Hasegawa Ryuji.
"Just wait and see." Hasegawa Ryuji is also half a China expert. He is not angry. "It is already 6:55. That salted fish may have died of thirst on the road! Hahaha!"
At this moment, a man pushed through the crowd and walked in: "As for the achievement I have created, none of you Japanese can achieve it."
