[061] West Point, New York
Yung Wing nodded and said, "His name is Ma Han, but I don't have a close relationship with him. The last time I met was six years ago. I heard that after that, he became the principal of the Annapolis Military Academy.
He mailed me several letters to him, and the book "The Impact of Sea Power on History from 1660 to 1783" was also mailed to me! Why, are you interested in him? Haha, he is a pure patriot and in the US Navy
There is a very high prestige in it!”
It was indeed him!
Long Hao said intimately: Nonsense, of course I know that Annapolis Military Academy is the predecessor of the US Navy Academy! The captains, staff officers, and first mates in the US Navy were basically taught by him, and he has no prestige.
It’s weird if you’re tall!
Long Haoqiang smiled: "I have read the book he wrote several times. This person is quite dangerous to me..."

"Ah Yeh! Ah Yeh!"
Thousands of miles away, the banks of the Hudson River in New York, with fragrant grass everywhere and flowers scented. Two middle-aged white men were walking on the river bank. One of them was wearing a navy cap and had a sculpture. His deep eyes seemed to be about to wear.
Lower on the Hudson River, there are towns that flourish by whaling. Ocean freighters are emitting thick smoke and are anchored in the harbor, injecting fresh 'blood' into the United States!
The other one was dressed in plain clothes and leather boots, and looked like a government official.
The navy cap rubbed his nose and laughed: "I haven't come to New York for a long time. It's changing with each passing day and is already an international metropolis! The industrial smell here actually makes my 'hard-core' nose allergic!"
The public official smiled and said, "Alfred, did you learn humor after you were not the principal? You think I don't know that you have been allergic to pollen since you were a child, but you have to push it to the thick smoke!"
The Navy Cap is Alfred Sayer Mahan. This time he came to New York. As the head of the exchange team of the Annapolis Military Academy, he visited West Point Military Academy to study.
Western dick trains the army, while Annapolis is the cradle of the navy. Mahan believes that both sides need to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses so that America can be strong.
Mahan shook his head: "Theodore, your mouth is still so unforgivable. No wonder Harrison threw you to the Public Service. Why, the nightlife in Washington is not your choice. Want to come to New York to try your luck? Be careful I'll report it.
You, leave your post without permission!”
If the students of Annapolis Military Academy heard these words, they would definitely be extremely surprised. If such a hilarious taste is strong, it would actually come from the mouth of Principal Ma Han, who is famous for his rigorous and seriousness.
The "Theodore" in Mahan's mouth is his close friend and best friend Theodore Roosevelt. Only in front of his friends can Mahan show his relaxed and humorous side.
Roosevelt shuffled the cigar in his hand and sighed, "You go and report it. I don't want to stay in that Public Service for a moment. Dear Alfred, I want to enter the Army. What do you think?"
Ma Han said in surprise: "Oh my God, where is your goal? Didn't we agree? We want to build a strong navy for the United States and expand a strong sea area? Why are you going to the army suddenly? This is your coming.
Is the real reason for pastry?"
Roosevelt nodded: "The sea power is supreme. I will never forget your famous saying, but now the Federation is too focused on the economy, and a little military fund has been invested in the army. As for building warships? If the Federation does not change its attitude, we want to catch up.
Twenty years are not enough in Britain!”
Ma Han deeply feels the same. Now there are so many freighters on the Atlantic Ocean and Europe and the United States, and there are endless streams of pounds. Bulks of pounds are put into the pockets of those greedy merchants. The Congress is controlled by the trust. They seem to have forgotten that the federal prosperity is
Today is exchanged through countless just wars and the blood of soldiers! The War of Independence, the United States-British War, the Seminole War, the United States-Mexico War, the North-South Civil War...
Ma Han said: "Theodore, you want to run for election..."
Roosevelt's eyes lit up and he patted Ma Han hard and said, "It's worthy of being my Roosevelt's confidant. That's right, to change the United States, it's not enough to just rely on the shouts of one or two of us. I want to enter the White House and lead my motherland toward it."
Take off!”
Ma Han said: "Are you going to exchange the victory of the war for capital to enter politics?"
Roosevelt's mouth curled up, and in front of his friends, he never concealed his ambitions: "As you said, the interests of the United States must be fought for by giant cannons and ships. The cradle of the Federal Navy is taken care of by you, so the way to set sail is by me.
Theodore Roosevelt goes to explore!”
Ma Han was excited and clasped Roosevelt's palms tightly, his eyes flashed: "If you have anything I can help, just say it!"
Roosevelt smiled and said, "Alfred, I need you to introduce some excellent army seedlings. It has been a few months since you arrived at the pastry. You must know more about the students inside than me!"
Roosevelt's main purpose this time came to New York was to recruit a group of "doll" non-commissioned officers and lay a good foundation for his future army team.
Roosevelt was self-aware and was a good at politics. He had a memory that he could never forget and had a strong eloquence. But when it comes to fighting, he had only one of the six orifices - he had no idea!

On a lawn of several acres in West Point Military Academy, two teams stood facing each other, one was the army cadet uniform and the other was the Annapolis naval cadet uniform. Both teams were strong men with wide shoulders and thick waists, among which
The majority of white people are white, and only a few are people of color.
It is a good season when the sky is blue and the sun is as bright as veil. I have to admire the Americans' greening. It is not until the 20th century that the West Point Military Academy located at the S-bend of the Hudson River, the green lawns are trimmed.
Just like the venue for the World Cup finals in the later World Cup, the place is green and green, making people cheerful and forget their worries!
However, the lawn of the two trainees standing in the sea and the two teams seemed tense. A few pieces of black soil were also turned up on the green lawn, revealing a mottled yellow color.
"Come on, Hansen, let them know that the glory of the navy is inviolable! Fall him down and fall that yellow pig!" The naval cadet shouted, his face flushed, and there is no anti-racism yet.
In the era of France, insulting people of color is the hobby of white people!
"Sun, don't be afraid of that brainless Hansen. You are the most powerful of our pastry this year. You have never lost wrestling, so don't embarrass us!" The army cadet, also the school of the pastry school, is doing that
The yellow-skinned student encouraged, looked forward to his face, was excited, and enthusiastic, but could not see any discriminatory gaze.
There were two people confronting each other in the center of the lawn, one was a white man Hansen, who was only 1.9 meters tall, and the other was a yellow-skinned Chinese Sun Shuyou. Just looking at his appearance, it seemed like a one-sided wrestling match without any suspense.
fight!
But the reality is that Hansen rolled up his sleeves, circled around, staring at Sun Shuyou with a serious expression, as if there was not a thin Chinese man opposite him, but a terrifying forest giant bear.
Hansen is the most powerful student in this Annapolis Military Academy. During ship training, he can carry the shells that only four people can lift, and he can carry them alone. Classical wrestling is a competitive event.
, among the students of the same class, they are even more invincible.
Now, he has fallen six West Point Army cadets in a row, with thick arms and open black hair on his chest, demonstrating his power.
However, just after just tentative contact with the Chinese named 'sun' (Sun), Hansen almost flew out unsteadily. The Chinese man who was one head shorter than him came from his arm
The strange power is even greater than that of myself!
Sun Shuyou is a member of the field team. As Cui Yuanlang's subordinate, he is the first Dragon Scale Party to be admitted to the West Point Military Academy. He was not interested in this "sea and land battle", but West Point lost six consecutively.
He had to take action in the formation.
Sun Shuyou's eyes were like needles, and there was infinite power under his two relatively thin arms. Compared to Hansen's timid circle, Sun Shuyou was careless, spreading his arms and pressing towards Hansen.
