Rong Hong nodded and said: "His name is Ma Han, but I don't have a close relationship with him. The last time we met was six years ago. I heard that after that, he became the principal of the Annapolis Military Academy. I have written with him several times, and he also mailed me the book "The Influence of Sea Power on History from 1660 to 1783"! Why, are you interested in him? Hehe, he is a pure patriot, and he served in the U.S. Navy Here, it has quite a high prestige!"

Sure enough it was him!

Long Hao secretly said: Nonsense, of course I know that the Annapolis Military Academy is the predecessor of the U.S. Naval Academy!The captains, staff officers, and chief mates in the U.S. Navy are basically taught by him alone, so it's no wonder that their prestige is not high!

Long Hao forced a smile: "I have read the book he wrote several times. This person is quite dangerous to me..."

"Ah! Ahh!"

Thousands of miles away, on the banks of the Hudson River in New York, there are fragrant grasses and fragrant flowers everywhere. Two middle-aged white men are walking on the embankment. One of them is wearing a navy cap, his face is like a sculpture, and his deep eyes seem to be piercing In the lower reaches of the Hudson River, there are towns that prospered by whaling in the lower reaches, and ocean-going freighters are smoking thick, row upon row, berthing in the harbor, injecting fresh 'blood' into the United States!

The other was dressed in plain clothes and leather boots, and looked like a government official.

The navy cap rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've been to New York. The weather here is changing rapidly, and it's already an international metropolis! The industrial smell here actually makes my 'hardcore' nose allergic!"

The public official laughed and said, "Alfred, have you learned to be humorous after you stopped being the principal? You pretended I didn't know that you were allergic to pollen since you were a child, but you have to push it to those thick smoke!"

The navy cap is Alfred Thayer Mahan. He came to New York this time as the head of the exchange group of the Annapolis Military Academy to visit and study at the West Point Military Academy.

West Point cultivates the army, while Annapolis is the cradle of the navy. Mahan believes that the two sides need to learn from each other so that the United States can be strong.

Mahan shook his head: "Theodore, your mouth is still so unforgiving, no wonder Harrison threw you to the Public Service Bureau, why, the nightlife in Washington is not to your liking, want to come to New York to try your luck? Beware of my report You, leave your post without permission!"

If the cadets of the Annapolis Military Academy heard these words, they would definitely be extremely surprised. Such a ridiculous word would come from the mouth of Principal Mahan, who is known for his rigorous and seriousness.

The "Theodore" in Mahan's mouth is his close friend and best friend Theodore Roosevelt, and only in front of his friends can Mahan show a relaxed and humorous side.

Roosevelt flicked the cigar in his hand, and sighed: "You report it, I don't want to stay in that public service bureau for a moment, dear Alfred, I want to enter the army, what do you think?"

Ma Han was surprised: "My God, where is your goal? Didn't we agree? Do you want to build a powerful navy for the United States and expand a powerful sea area? Why do you suddenly want to go to the army? This is where you come from." The real reason for West Point?"

Roosevelt nodded: "The supremacy of sea control, I will never forget your famous saying, but now the Federation is too focused on the economy, and a little military funding is also invested in the army. As for building warships? If the Federation does not change its attitude, we want to catch up Britain, 20 years is not enough!"

Mahan felt the same way. There are so many freighters on the Atlantic Ocean going back and forth between Europe and the United States. A lot of pounds are put into the pockets of those greedy businessmen. The Congress is controlled by trusts. They seem to have forgotten that the prosperity of the Federation Today has been won through countless just wars and the blood of soldiers! Duli War, American-British War, Seminole War, Mexican-American War, Civil War...

Ma Han said: "Theodore, you want to run for election..."

Roosevelt's eyes lit up, he patted Mahan vigorously and said, "As expected of Roosevelt's confidant, yes, to change the United States, it is not enough for one or two of us to cry out. I want to enter the White House and lead my country to the future. Take off!"

Ma Han said: "Are you going to use the victory of the war in exchange for the capital of politics?"

The corner of Roosevelt's mouth curled up. In front of his friends, he never concealed his ambition: "As you said, the interests of the United States must be won by giant ships with cannons. You are taking care of the cradle of the Federal Navy. Then the road to sail is up to me." Theodore Roosevelt to pioneer!"

Mahan was excited, clasped his hands with Roosevelt, his eyes flickered: "If there is anything I can help, just say it!"

Roosevelt smiled: "Alfred, I need you to introduce some excellent army candidates. You have been in West Point for a few months, and you must know more about the students than me!"

The main purpose of Roosevelt's visit to New York this time was to recruit a group of "baby" non-commissioned officers to lay a good foundation for his future army team.

Roosevelt is self-aware, he is a good player in politics, he has a long-term memory and a very provocative eloquence, but when it comes to fighting, he knows all six senses - he knows nothing!

On a few acres of lawn in the West Point Military Academy, two teams of people stood facing each other. One side was Army cadet uniforms, the other was Annapolis Navy cadet uniforms. Both teams were strong men with broad shoulders and thick waists. Mostly white people, only a few people are colored races.

It is a good season when the sky is blue and the sun is like yarn. I have to admire the Americans for their greening. It is not yet the 20th century. The West Point Military Academy located in the S bend of the Hudson River has a green lawn. Just like the venue of the World Cup finals in later generations, there is no miscellaneous and verdant green everywhere, which makes people look cheerful and forget their troubles!

However, the lawn where the students from the sea and land teams were standing seemed tense, and a few patches of black soil had been turned up on the original emerald green lawn, revealing a mottled yellow color.

"Come on, Hansen, let them know that the honor of the navy is inviolable! Throw him down, throw down that yellow pig!" The naval cadets shouted, their faces flushed, and there is no anti-racism in this world In the era of the law, insulting people of color is a hobby of white people!

"Sun, don't be afraid of that brainless Hansen. You are the strongest in our class at West Point. You have never lost in wrestling, so don't embarrass us!" A yellow-skinned student cheered, his face looked expectant, excited, and enthusiastic, but he couldn't see the slightest discrimination.

There are two people facing each other in the middle of the lawn. One is Hansen, a 1.9-meter white man, and the other is Sun Shuyou, a yellow-skinned Chinese who is only less than 1.7 meters. Just looking at the appearance, this seems to be a one-sided wrestling match without the slightest suspense !

But the actual situation was that Hansen rolled up his sleeves, circling around and staring at Sun Shuyou with a serious expression, as if the opposite was not a thin and thin Chinese, but a terrifying giant forest bear.

Hansen is the strongest among the exchange students from the Annapolis Military Academy at West Point this year. During ship training, it takes four people to lift the cannonball. He can carry it by himself. Classical wrestling is a competitive event. , among the students of the same class, he was even more invincible.

No, he has already knocked down six West Point Army cadets in a row. His thick arms and black hair on his chest showed his mighty power.

However, under the tentative contact with this Chinese named 'sun' (Sun) just now, Hansen almost lost his footing and flew out. Strange power, even greater than himself!

Sun Shuyou is a member of the field regiment. As Cui Yuanlang's subordinate, he is the first Dragon Scale Party member to be admitted to the West Point Military Academy. He had no interest in this 'war between land and sea' at first, but West Point lost six games in a row. After a while, he also had to go out.

Sun Shuyou's eyes are like needles, and under the two relatively thin arms, there is infinite power. Compared with Hansen who circles timidly, Sun Shuyou is careless, with his arms open, forcing Hansen.
