Chapter 87 Heinche Part 1
Subtitle of this chapter: Master Yuan’s Naval Officer Development Plan
…………………………
"Master Ball, you reminded me. Please help me search for if there is any time travel novel that has become Murong Chong."
"In the search... it's a pity, there are no ones who traveled through time to become Linghu Chong."
"Master Ball, why don't you say that you can travel through time and become unbeaten in the East?"
"Hello, Mr. Yuan." Eva Chandler said shyly.
"Hello, Miss Chandler." Our Master Yuan looked at the little beauty carefully with a serious look on his face and said, "It's very good, you're much thinner than in the photo. Is this a hard time?"
Yuan Yanshu had never seen her before, but she had seen her photos. As an important actor appointed in "The Lonely Girl in the Famine", Miss Chandler naturally had to diet and lose weight like Miss Lilian Gish.
"No, it's not hard." Ava's little sister shook her head, but said in her mouth, "I just eat vegetables every day so I feel like a foal."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed together when they heard this.
Master Yuan felt a little moved again when he heard these words. Weight loss food is a good business, so you can get involved in it if you have the chance in the future.
He reached out to the last Chandler and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Heinche Chandler. What a handsome guy."
Not to mention, this kid looks really good, a bit like the male lead in the old German movie "Hander Boy". It seems that the Chandler family has a good genes.
The 17 or 18-year-old boy walked up with an excited expression, grabbed his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, I am very happy to know you! I like your "Song of Ice and Fire" so much. Can you sign me?"
"No." Yuan Yan suddenly shook her head with a stern face.
"Hmm?!" The boy was stunned when he heard this.
Master Yuan blinked at Heinche, who was very disappointed and shocked, and said, "Mr. Chandler, you are my friend now. How can you author who only signs an autograph for your friend but doesn't give him a set of books?"
The boy who turned his worries into joy quickly said thank you.
In this way, Yuan Yan suddenly brought Chandler's family into the restaurant, and had a sumptuous dinner that combines Chinese and Western styles with them, Miss Gish and Miss Ainukar.
The protagonist on the dining table is of course Master Yuan, who is the master. He is now a legendary figure. Especially when he just won a duel a few days ago, he went to the White House to meet President Harding. There are so many stories he can tell.
In addition, he was so eloquent that he was funny and humorous, and was very good at mobilizing the atmosphere. So he let the farewell banquet be filled with joy, and did not let Chandler's family fall into the sorrow of parting.
"Ann, Lilian, you can teach Julie and Eva to play mahjong well." Master Yuan sent away the four ladies and said to the other three Chandlers, "Gentlemen, let's go to the living room to have something to drink."
Without any objection, everyone divided into two groups of men and women for their own after-dinner entertainment.
After the four of them drank the wine after dinner and said a few gossips, Yuan Yan suddenly led the conversation to the track he was thinking about.
He seemed to ask Mr. Chandler casually: "Hyinche, I just heard that you are going to graduate from high school this year. So what are your plans for the next step? Which university is going to study for? "
The boy was excited when he heard this and said with great enthusiasm: "I want to apply for the military academy, but..."
He looked at his father and brother in frustration, and said in a somewhat complaining tone: "But they won't let it go."
Master Yuan thought to himself, it seemed that the money he paid to Pinkerton Detective Office was worth the price. The boy did have some small conflicts with his father and brother because he was going to military academy.
He estimated that Heinche wanted to become a soldier because he was stimulated by his brother's treason case in recent years.
Just imagine, a teenager like Heinche had a respected American officer, and he should be very proud.
But after this brother returned to China, he became a treason suspect. So as a younger brother, Heinchet would be under how much pressure.
Needless to ask, his life in school has definitely not been so easy. Then the boy naturally wanted to prove himself and prove that the men in the Chandler family were not cowards.
And Heinche Chandler's wish just met Yuan Yanshu's expectations.
Old Mr. Chandler coughed and said, "Heinche, we have discussed this matter. Even if you want to go to military academy, the actual conditions do not allow it!"
Why does the professor say "realistic conditions do not allow it"?
Because the American military academies are not something you can get into if you meet the standards in your application, but they need to be recommended by qualified persons, and the recommender must be at least a state senator.
Now that Chandler's family has a "traitor" and naturally they refuse to recommend Heinche. Moreover, because of his brother Yurien's "bad deeds", even if someone recommends a military academy, he may be rejected.
"Oh, so you're worried about this." Yuan Yan pretended to know nothing about it and said enthusiastically, "I have a way!"
"If it's an army academy like Western pastry and Virginia Military Academy, I really can't help. But..."
"If Heinche wants to go to the U.S. Naval Officer's School, I have a way."
The US Naval Officer School has another more familiar name, Annapolis Military Academy. In fact, there is no need to introduce too much, just know that it is the only regular officer school in the US Navy.
Master Yuan’s path is naturally FDR, the former deputy director of the Navy. Don’t forget that his relative Theodore Roosevelt Jr. is the current deputy director of the Navy.
With the recommendation of these two Roosevelts, Mr. Chandler, a young man, had a high probability of entering the Annapolis Military Academy and becoming a naval reserve officer.
As for why Yuan Yanshu is so enthusiastic... Is it still necessary to ask?
Now this seventeen-year-old boy will be thirty-seven in twenty years, which is exactly the golden years of a man.
If he had been in the ships and troops, it would be entirely possible to serve as a lieutenant colonel or captain of a first-class ship such as a battleship or aircraft carrier during World War II. If he had better luck during wartime, he could become a major general commander of the squadron. Maybe the end of World War II would be the lieutenant general.
Even if he was not a ship commander, whether it was a naval aviation or a marine, Heinche climbed to the position of an intermediate officer twenty years later. Moreover, he had the help of Master Yuan.
And 1921 is a critical moment for the United States... not right, the navies of various countries are!
During the Washington Conference, as the Times reporter said, Secretary of State Hughes' tonnage "sinking" in thirty-five minutes was higher than the tonnage of naval forces in various countries for centuries.
With the arrival of the "Naval Holiday" in 1922, major naval countries around the world will abolish naval forces, and of course, they will also reduce the size of military academies at the same time.
Therefore, this term in 1921 can be said to be the last train for the naval officers.

Please allow Murong to complain. I often see people criticizing this broken book and writing whatever they think. I feel so wronged about this kind of evaluation.
It’s not that I’m boasting, but I’ve been writing this book strictly according to the outline until now, and every person who appears is useful.
