Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia Empire, capital, Prince Rui's Mansion.

It can be said that Lin Yi finally got a day off today. He was lying down at home, preparing to communicate with his children.

After all, the children are older, and the eldest son Lin Sitai is 15 years old. It’s time to go to middle school.

And children at this age are, how should I say, somewhat rebellious.

Even Lin Yi can't do anything about this. It seems that this is universal regardless of time and space.

Now that Lin Sitai and Lin Sian were disobeying their mother, Lin Yi felt that he should find time to have a good chat with them.

But Lin Yi's idea still came to nothing.

As soon as he called his two disobedient sons to him, Fang Xiao quickly walked into the main hall.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xiao called softly, and Lin Yi was speechless.

However, Lin Yi felt that for now, the children were more important, so he waved his hand to Fang Xiao, indicating that Fang Xiao would wait aside.

Then Lin Yi turned his head to his two children.

"Tell me, what made your mother angry this time?" Lin Yi looked at his two children and asked helplessly.

"Father, you really can't blame us this time. We just told mother that we want to enroll in the Imperial Military Academy." The eldest son Lin Sitai looked at Lin Yi and replied.

"Imperial Military Academy?" Lin Yi was stunned when he heard Lin Sitai's words.

The Imperial Military Academy was a comprehensive military university established by the Daxia Empire after World War I in order to better train military talents.

As a national-level higher military academy, the honorary principal is naturally the emperor, but as the head of the military department, Lin Yi naturally also holds the title of honorary vice principal.

The principal who actually handles daily affairs at the school is Pan Chengzhang, who previously retired from the military.

However, since it is a national-level military academy, its admissions standards are also extremely strict.

There are only two sources of school enrollment. One is to select outstanding middle and lower-level officers from the army to study in the school, and the other is naturally high school graduates who apply for the exam every year.

Since Lin Yi organized the imperial education reform, the empire has implemented a 12-year education system. Six years of primary school and six years of secondary school.

Moreover, the empire stipulates that children of school age must attend school. This means that as long as they are citizens of the empire, both boys and girls have the right to study.

Lin Yi knows very well that if a country wants to be strong and prosperous, it cannot do without highly educated people.

People with high knowledge can only obtain it through reading. So Lin Yi encourages children to go to school.

The words are a bit far gone, so let’s continue talking about Lin Sitai and Lin Sian.

Lin Yi did not expect that his two sons, now only 15 years old, were thinking about applying for the Military Academy in three years.

In fact, Lin Yi personally supports Lin Yi's choice of his two children. In his opinion, as long as it is not a matter of principle, he feels that the children's ideas should take priority.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then turned to look at his two sons and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, why did you apply for the military academy?"

When Lin Sitai heard that Lin Yi seemed to be relenting, he immediately said, "Father, we want to become an all-powerful general like you! Can command thousands of armies!"

Hearing Lin Sitai's words, Lin Yi had a look of surprise on his face, then shook his head, and then continued: "Tai'er, you are wrong. Actually, I don't want to become a general."

"Besides, who told you that generals are all born? If you have not experienced the training of soldiers at the bottom, then even if you are given the position of general, you will not be able to achieve the position of general."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Lin Sitai was obviously unconvinced, and his mouth was so pouted that it could hang a bottle of oil.

Seeing Lin Sitai like this, Lin Yi knew that his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"Let's do this. I'll give you a chance. Every weekend from now on, you can go to the Beijing camp outside the city and train with the soldiers. I will arrange an instructor for you."

"Whenever you pass the instructor's assessment, I will agree to let you apply for the military academy."

"You know, in the military academy, there is not only theory, but also very heavy training."

"If you can't even pass the examination of ordinary soldiers, just give up the idea of ​​joining the army with me and go to school honestly. How about that?"

"Father, it's a deal!" Lin Sitai and Lin Sian laughed immediately when they heard Lin Yi's words.

"Okay, let's go down. I still have something to discuss with you, Uncle Fang. I'll tell your mother about it." Lin Yi waved his hand, signaling the two children to leave first.

Seeing this, Lin Sitai and Li Sian bowed to Lin Yi, then said hello to Fang Xiao, and then left happily.

After the two children left, Fang Xiao bowed to Lin Yi and said, "It seems that the two princes are also passionate. They have been thinking about joining the army and serving the empire since they were young."

"Stop praising them. They are two brats who know nothing about the world. I will be pissed to death by them sooner or later."

"How old are you? You think about joining the army and applying for the military academy all day long. Without giving the two of them a taste of their abilities, do you really think that this military academy is so easy to get into?" Lin Yi said with a look of displeasure.

When Fang Xiao heard what Lin Yi said, he knew that Lin Yi was just talking, but in his heart he didn't know how happy he was.

"My lord, my subordinates disagree with your words. I think that when my lord took us to the battlefield, he was only three years older than the two princes."

Sure enough, after hearing Fang Xiao's words, Lin Yi had a proud expression on his face.

But this expression passed quickly, and then Lin Yi seemed to be angry and said: "We had no choice at that time."

"If we don't stand up and resist at that time, the empire will be stepped into the mud by the John Empire and unable to get up."

"What the prince said is true, but now that there is peace inside and outside the empire, it is also a good choice to let the princes go to the army to train."

"At least we can let the heirs know how difficult it is for the soldiers at the bottom. Even in the future, when they step into the palace and become high-ranking officials in the empire, they will know how to sympathize with the difficulties of the bottom class."

"After all, the prince once said that only keeping the military power firmly in the hands of one's own family is the way to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the empire." Fang Xiao looked at Lin Yi and slowly persuaded.

"Okay, okay, you are the only one who is right."

"I will think about this matter carefully. Tell me, why did you come to me today for something important?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes at Fang Xiao, and then said slowly.

When Fang Xiao heard Lin Yi say this, his expression became serious.

"Your Majesty, several major events have happened in Europe!"
