————————————————————

August, Republic of China Year 13, Changzhou Island, a scorching afternoon under the blazing sun.

—

"Ancient and modern warfare, the pig's tactics have again and again been successfully employed by people......"

Inside the stuffy classroom, an instructor in a khaki military uniform spoke eloquently, presenting his own tactical understanding.

The weather was hot, and the students' spirits were not good, each dizzy and swollen-headed.

But upon hearing the instructor make an astonishing statement, uttering such a somewhat humorous theory, the students were no longer sleepy at once, and couldn't help but start whispering to each other.

"Did you hear that, Instructor Liu Zhi... is lecturing his strange theories again, hehe, this time he's come up with a Pig Tactics Theory."

"Mm, from now on let's call him 'Pig Instructor'......"

"Don't laugh, be careful Instructor Liu singles you out for private tutoring; don't look at Instructor Liu's kind appearance, he was once an officer in the Old Army, hitting and scolding you is the least of it!"

Liu Zhi was proud of his "Pig Tactics Theory," but didn't expect to be laughed at by individual students; dissatisfaction had already arisen in Xin Zhong.

"Quiet!"

Liu Zhi immediately ordered the students in the classroom to shut up; the words spoken by Liu Zhi, who had seen combat, naturally carried prestige and deterrence, and the students in the classroom all closed their mouths, fearing to provoke Instructor Liu Zhi.

The classroom was quiet to an unbelievable degree; absolutely no one dared challenge the instructor's authority at this time.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, at the wall-side position in the classroom, a student's body trembled and he let out a terrified strange cry.

The surrounding classmates were all startled, and even Instructor Liu Zhi on the lectern was shaken into a tremor, his lecture notes nearly dropping to the ground.

Everyone looked with astonished eyes at the student who cried out; among the gazes, some were concerned, some mocking, and more carried an onlooker mentality.

Some students, because of this strange cry, plus Instructor Liu Zhi himself being startled, the scene suddenly became somewhat comical, and many were holding back laughter.

Instructor Liu Zhi was angered, walked quickly to the side of the culprit, walking with wind, making all the students break into a sweat: "Student Lv Muzhi, please stand up!"

In Lv Muzhi's mind, various thoughts collided and merged; his eyes carried confusion, his gaze constantly scanning the sturdy Instructor Liu Zhi before him, then he lowered his head to look at his own grey uniform, and even reached up to touch it.

Instructor Liu Zhi pressed down on Lv Muzhi's hand, dissatisfied:

"Disrupting class discipline, that is crime one; when the instructor asks a question and you do not stand at attention, that is crime two."

Instructor Liu Zhi paused after speaking, looked around at the other students in the classroom, suppressed the anger on his face, and said sinisterly:

"But this instructor has always been tolerant and magnanimous. Student Lv Muzhi, can you tell me, where are you dissatisfied with my class? After class, we two can have a private discussion."

When Liu Zhi said this, although his face was smiling, the coldness behind the smile could not be hidden—this was clearly giving himself a welcoming blow!

How could Lv Muzhi dare to have an opinion? If he really ended up in a place with no one around, that wouldn't be as simple as moving his lips; this sturdy Instructor Liu Zhi would definitely give him a good beating!

He hurriedly stood at attention and answered:

"No... the student absolutely has no dissatisfaction. The theory the instructor just explained contains Instructor Liu's multiple actual combat experiences; it is a precious treasure of our army and our school."

"The student is fortunate to hear it, experienced sudden enlightenment, as if clearing clouds to see blue sky; in his excitement, he just sighed aloud. I hope all classmates and the instructor don't mind."

After speaking, Lv Muzhi glanced at Liu Zhi's reaction, and took the opportunity to raise his eyes and look around:

The simple classroom; the air was filled with a faint sea tide smell; on the high wall above the lectern hung four big characters: "Dear Sincerity."

Strange, too strange; where am I?

Memories in his mind gradually merged; Lv Muzhi thought in his heart: Could it be... this really is Whampoa Military Academy? And the First Phase?!

"Hmph, don't be slick; there are plenty of oil slicks like you in the troops. I only ask you one thing: what did I just lecture? I want to hear how you experienced sudden enlightenment."

Instructor Liu Zhi crossed his arms over his chest, not buying it at all, staring into Lv Muzhi's eyes and smiling falsely: "If you can't answer, I'll add another charge to you: crime three, slick talk."

"Three crimes combined punishment; this instructor requests the Principal's Office to confine you for three days!"

Lv Muzhi roughly understood his current situation; the solitary confinement room was not a place for people to stay; he must immediately activate his brain, and breaking the siege was the way.

Wait, pig tactics? This segment is so familiar; it seems like a movie segment from "Great Decisive Battles"?

Oh~ I understand; this is a film and television alternate world, not real history, and cannot be matched number for number.

Lv Muzhi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and elaborated:

"Instructor, what you just said about the 'Pig Tactics Theory,' the student has deep experience. Ancient and modern warfare, the pig's tactics have again and again been successfully employed by people."

"A pig, once attacked, leans its buttocks against the wall, so you can't catch its tail, and finally you are helpless. In our actual combat, this can be extended to using favorable terrain to restrain the enemy in operations, conforming to the geographical advantage in the Heaven Earth Man Thought."

"And pigs are omnivorous animals; their appearance is gentle and harmless, yet they do not refuse meat either; they have sharp teeth. In a critical moment, taking the enemy unprepared, give them a bite, and once bitten, don't let go. This is assessing the situation and concealing skill within clumsiness."

"Therefore, Instructor Liu's Pig Tactics Theory appears humorous on the surface, but actually conceals great wisdom. Those unskilled in learning cannot understand Instructor Liu's painstaking efforts, only knowing to secretly mock; this is the sadness of the Whampoa classroom."

"And Muzi, since the start of school, has several times been convinced by Instructor Liu's theories; hearing the Way today, he therefore lost his composure."

When the words fell, the students present blinked their eyes and stared blankly at Lv Muzhi standing at attention and answering.

How strange that Instructor Liu Zhi's casual strange remarks, when spoken from Lv Muzhi's mouth, turned into a serious theory.

Clap~ clap clap~

Instructor Liu Zhi's eyes were slightly red; he clapped with rhythm, an expression of a kindred spirit hard to find: "Finally... finally someone understands this instructor's painstaking efforts. The theory I summarized—many ignorant ones only know to mock. Except you, Muzi; although we are nominally teacher and student, we have the reality of Bo Ya and Zi Qi. A kindred spirit is hard to find... hard! to find!"

When Liu Zhi said this, he deliberately emphasized the last two words and patted Lv Muzhi's shoulder hard.

Lv Muzhi's face turned slightly red, somewhat embarrassed; he himself was just talking nonsense: "Instructor, you flatter me; the student is favored and surprised."

"Sit down. From now on, in my tactics class, you sit in the first row, to facilitate our two exchanging and interacting, and jointly exploring military theory!"

After Liu Zhi soothed Lv Muzhi, he began expounding his tactical theories from the lectern again, and spoke with even more energy.

Lv Muzhi, seated in his seat, could not calm his mood for a long time.

Obviously, as a web novel reader, Lv Muzhi had transmigrated.

Originally he had grown up on Water Blue Star in Star System 10086, also named Lv Muzhi, a Civil Engineering Dog who had worked diligently at the construction site, welcoming and seeing off people day after day.

One day, accompanying Party A in drinking, he died from excessive alcohol.

His colleagues all thought Lv Muzhi was already dead, not knowing that Lv Muzhi had transmigrated back to his previous life and awakened his modern memory in the Whampoa Classroom.

Both lives were Lv Muzhi, the same soul, both dying young.

His previous self had sacrificed in the Business Corps Rebellion, and this self had died at the construction site; neither life had lived past thirty, too miserable!

"So that's how it is..."

Lv Muzhi thought to himself: "Heaven pities me; this life I fell into the civil engineering abyss, this time willing to give me one chance to restart my previous life, restarting the Whampoa script!"

Lv Muzhi could start over in the new world!

Passionate Whampoa, launching the Northern Expedition, Principal beats Superintendent, Junior beats Senior...

Just thinking about it is exciting, these...

Lv Muzhi was temporarily not very interested; although he had some understanding of this history,

but in this chaotic era, who was Lv Muzhi? History books never mentioned him at all, probably related to dying too early; if he couldn't even save his own life, what use was it?

Fearless Transmigrators always exist in web novels, but I finally restarted a life and absolutely cannot die young again; I only ask that before great issues of right and wrong, I stand firm and strive for progress.
