The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 98 Asking for Money
There was an uproar in the crowd.

"Hey! How do I take the test?"

"That's right, with so many people, who can say for sure if they can pass the exam?"

More and more people are beginning to become dissatisfied.

Not only the people from the provincial capital, but also people from all over the world who were attracted by Governor Zhang's reputation were coming as there were wars everywhere in the interior.

I came here early just to fight for a good future for myself.

At this moment, the Cai brothers also rushed over, squeezing through the crowd with great effort: "Feilan! Why are there so many people?"

They are quite interesting. Why do they wear military uniforms to take the exam?
But then again, Jiang Cheng was also a little confused.

What is Guo Maochen doing?
He did know that notices had been posted in every street and alley in Fengtian, announcing everywhere that the Military Academy was recruiting cadets for the officer corps, and that the requirements were not too high.

Once the conditions are lowered, the result will definitely be overcrowding.

If he could think of it, how could Guo Guizi, who is so smart, not think of it?
That means that the huge crowds of people here are intentional by him, the examiner!
"No rush, let's take a look first and then talk."

Just as the crowd began to riot because they were anxious to take the exam, another round of boos sounded from the main gate of the Military Academy, sounding like extremely dissatisfied complaints.

"So much! Who can afford it..."

"That's right. I think the boss is just playing tricks on me."

While the crowd was puzzled, a few men walking back from the front of the team were cursing.

As if noticing that the people gathered here were confused, one of the hooligans even shouted arrogantly: "Go away, go away, saying that you can take the exam as long as you meet the requirements is just a cover!"

"Yes, that's right... Obviously they only recruit children from wealthy families. Go home and do what you need to do, and stop talking nonsense here."

People stared at each other, and Jiang Cheng noticed that more people were walking back and leaving. The crowd that had been motionless began to move quickly.

Of course, more people who didn't understand the situation followed closely behind and moved forward with the crowd.

After about ten minutes, they became the leaders of the team.

Jiang Cheng noticed that the door in front of the white and imposing gatehouse was open, with only two wooden tables placed side by side on the flat ground at the gate.

A young officer was recording the information of the people who were registering with a pen, while another was directing the crowd and the registration procedures;
To their left and right and behind them, fully armed soldiers were maintaining order.

This, I don’t see the point, right?
I couldn't help but stretch my neck to look inside: there were quite a few people in the neat front yard of the military camp, and it seemed that many people had already gone in.

What do those people who just left mean? Are they kidding? Why are they only recruiting children from rich and powerful families?

Hey, isn’t that Zhang Hanqing and the others?

Wow, he’s indeed a person with connections, he’s already in.

"You, follow!"

Just as Jiang Cheng stretched his neck to look inside, the three young men in front of him had already completed the registration and picked up their suitcases and walked in one after another.

The officer in command waved at him and Cai Yuanzong: "Follow me, follow me, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Your name, date of birth?"

"What kind of education did you go to? Have you ever served in the military? What skills do you have? Hmm, professional skills like medical construction?"

Jiang Cheng quickly answered them one by one. As for professional skills, he really didn't have anything special: "I know Japanese, English, and a little Russian. Does that count?"

"Ah, count them all."

Seeing the young officer writing down all these quickly, he looked up and said to him, "The registration fee is ten dollars."

Jiang Cheng was stunned: "What, registration fee?"

It actually costs ten dollars?
Coming from a noble family, he didn't care about this little money.

But he also knew that the average soldier only earned seven or eight dollars a month;
The best-paid unit in Fengtian Army: The Guards of General Zhang only get 10 yuan a month. After all the skinning, maybe they don't get that much...

He immediately understood why those people left cursing. In a moment of surprise, Cai Yuanzong looked at him and took out his purse: "I'll pay for his."

This move immediately triggered boos from both inside and outside the gate, with some even starting to boo:

"Take a look..."

"Hey brother, you came to register and brought a guard with you to pay the fee?"

"Your father is at least a teacher, right?"

What is this mess?

Jiang Cheng turned around, put his hands on his waist and cursed: "What, is it illegal? What are you talking about? If you have the guts, bring one with you!"

Wait, I think what I said is wrong. Doesn’t this really make Cai Yuanzong my bodyguard?

The officer who wrote the registration information coughed a few times and turned his gaze back to the bewildered son of the Cai family: "Okay, give me the money... Hey, guard, you can leave after you register. Only he can enter the exam."

Cai Yuanzong's face looked like it was dripping with ink. Hai Pingchuan and the others who had been trying to hold back their laughter could no longer hold it back. He said in a muffled voice, "I'm here to sign up, too, Cai Yuanzong."

Jiang Cheng looked back at Hai Pingchuan and said seriously, "They are also: Hai Pingchuan, Yang Yucheng, and Cai Yuanming."

"You should register them all. Here's fifty dollars."

Cai Yuanzong said with a lingering anger, and threw the purse on the table with a bang, "The money in here should be enough."

After saying that, he took the number plate from another officer and walked towards the gate with an unhappy look on his face.

"Why are you doing this? It's obvious that those people are just talking nonsense. Do they really think of you as a guard?"

Walking around the guard on duty, Jiang Cheng patted him on the shoulder.

Cai Yuanzong didn't say anything, but his brother who was following behind him was furious: "What a dog's eye for looking down on others!"

"When we are guards, I think he is the guard!"

If you can get angry about this, then you will have a lot of things to get angry about in the future.

Jiang Cheng remained calm, and just as he stood still, he heard Xue Cheng calling him from a distance: "Hey Fei Lan!"

They turned their attention to Zhang Hanqing and others joking in the corridor between the bungalows in front of many students who had successfully registered.

Hearing Xuecheng calling them, Zhang Hanqing, Feng Yong, Bao Yulin, Wu Taixun and other young masters waved: "Hey, are you all here?"

"Ha no."

After looking around at the few people, Jiang Cheng walked forward and said, "I said, you guys are here early!"

"Not too early, I was just brought in by my uncle."

Zhang Hanqing made no secret of his relationship.

You should know that Zhang Zuoxiang was the chief supervisor of the Military Academy, commonly known as "the head of the hall"; to put it bluntly, he was the principal of the Military Academy.

"Oh, if I can get you into the door, does that mean I can be exempted from the exam?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and nudged Zhang Hanqing's shoulder with his elbow, "Hey, can you give me a spot?"

Among this group of people, the one he was most worried about was Yang Yucheng.

Even a pale-faced scholar pant like a young girl when he runs, so he will most likely fail if he is to take a physical fitness test.

"Hey, you're asking me for a spot? This is not your character, Jiang Feilan!"
