Section 10: Debate Competition
Zhuang Jihua's heart was cold, knowing that this was the right thing to find him today, his brain immediately began to turn, after Xuanxia's father left, the students reacted strongly, and the vast majority of those who supported Xuanxia's father, most of the students in the first phase of Huangpu joined Huangpu with the ideal of serving the country with blood, and the political quality is extremely high, and the blood is hotter than the average young man, belonging to the real hot-blooded youth, and there are very few people like Zhuang Jihua who come in with speculative thoughts. It is not surprising that Xuanxia's father's ideas were supported by most of his classmates, although there were no people who criticized Chiang Kai-shek by name in accordance with the school rules, but people like Zhuang Jihua, Jiang Xianyun, and Li Zhilong were unable or unwilling to speak for various reasons, so the focus of criticism was on Ming Cook. Zhuang Jihua estimated that Chiang Kai-shek knew about these situations, so he decided to tell the truth.
"The classmates have everything to say, and they all feel sorry for the sword soul, and...," Speaking of this, he secretly glanced at Chiang Kai-shek, and saw that Chiang Kai-shek's face was sinking like water, so he stopped, and Chiang Kai-shek saw that he didn't say anything, so he waved his hand generously and said: "Say, what do you say." β
"That...., the student said it bluntly, and most of the students criticized the principal, thinking that the principal's move violated the principle of clear cooking."
Chiang Kai-shek was also very troubled, he didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big reaction from the students, and he was a little worried that this matter would not be handled well and would affect his prestige among the students, and secretly scolded Niang Xipi in his heart, he suspected that it was [***] instigated, but he had no evidence, and Xuanxia's father was in accordance with the formal organizational procedures, so it was difficult for him to accuse [***]. He stood up in annoyance and said, "They don't understand, they are very naΓ―ve politically. You are politically mature and should help them more. β
Zhuang Jihua now understood that Chiang Kai-shek felt that this was a bad end, and he wanted to maintain his authority, but he was unwilling to come forward and wanted to use himself as a gunman. He thought about it and decided to help Chiang Kai-shek, on the one hand, it would be bad for both sides to continue to develop like this, and on the other hand, it could deepen Chiang Kai-shek's impression of himself.
"The students talked a lot, and the students thought that this was inevitable, but in fact, on the other hand, it also showed that the principal had a good leadership," after understanding Chiang Kai-shek's meaning, Zhuang Jihua did not agree or refuse, but just said according to his own ideas: "The principal has repeatedly emphasized that Huangpu students should be united, and the school motto is to be dear and sincere, and the matter of Xuanxia's father shows that the students have begun to care about each other, indicating that the principal's discipline has entered the hearts of the students." β
These words made Chiang Kai-shek feel more comfortable, but after thinking about it, the dear and sincere purpose was to let the classmates unite around them and unite with the outside world, rather than unite against me, and his face was a little unhappy.
Of course, Zhuang Jihua did not let go of Chiang Kai-shek's changes, he felt that he grasped Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts, so he continued: "Principal, students also want to give some opinions, I don't know..." β
Chiang Kai-shek's face immediately changed drastically, but he quickly stabilized and said coldly: "You say, you say, *, if you have an opinion, I am not the kind of person who does not accept criticism." β
"Yes, the students don't have an opinion about the principal, they have an opinion about the political department. The students felt that the work of the Political Department was ineffective and should be strengthened. β
Just heard that Zhuang Jihua was going to give an opinion, he thought it was aimed at him, and he was very angry, you Zhuang Jihua is too ignorant, and he actually called the door. However, when Zhuang Jihua said that he had an opinion on the Political Department, Chiang Kai-shek felt strange, so he frowned and said: "If you have any opinions, you can talk about it, if it is not reasonable, I will also criticize you." β
Zhuang Jihua scolded in his heart, just said that he would accept criticism, and he was going to criticize in the blink of an eye, tmd, do you still have some faith. He suppressed the fire and said: "Since the beginning of the school year, although the Political Department has invited several party leaders and celebrities to give speeches at the school, on the whole, the school's political work is lifeless, and there are basically no relevant activities among the students. β
As soon as Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he knew that Zhuang Jihua was right, and he also felt that the work of the Political Department was ineffective, and the current director of the Political Department, Shao Yuanchong, stayed in Guangzhou all day long, came to attend two classes a week, and he was full of words, so he took a boat and left after class, and treated the director of the Political Department as an official, in Deng Yanda's words, he was a bureaucrat, and he was not suitable to be the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy at all.
"Well, go ahead." Chiang Kai-shek motioned for Zhuang Jihua to continue.
"The prime minister said that the principle of the Whampoa Military Academy is three parts military and seven points politics, but the current work of the Political Department can be said to have not reached a single point, and I think it is necessary for the principal to meddle in the Political Department and ask them to improve."
This made Chiang Kai-shek a little embarrassed, he knew that he didn't know how to improve, so he said tentatively: "* I understand what you mean, your opinion is very correct, I also feel the same way, I have criticized Director Shao several times, but...., some comrades in the party do not understand the meaning of political work." β
"In fact, the principal can be replaced temporarily, and the specific can start with the prime minister's teaching." At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was a little confused, starting from the premier's teaching, he didn't understand and didn't want to ask, so he was a little unhappy: "*, you are my good student, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter if you say it wrong." β
This became too fast, Zhuang Jihua was a little uncomfortable, and when he saw Chiang Kai-shek's appearance, he explained his thoughts and thoughts: "The premier once said that Huangpu students should not only master military technology, but also master revolutionary theory, and not only bear the burden of military struggle, but also undertake the task of mobilizing the masses and propagating revolutionary ideas. However, propagating revolutionary ideas and mobilizing the masses requires good eloquence and good eloquence, so I think that the students' debating ability should be strengthened. I propose to hold a debate contest with teams from each district, followed by an open debate, and the final champion will be commended by the school with a pennant. β
Chiang Kai-shek felt that this was a solution, but he felt that it was useless, and hesitated to say: "Will this cause disunity among the students, and what else is there to debate?" β
"The principal is relieved that it will never affect the unity, and as for the topic, it is better to debate the topics that the students are concerned about, such as whether it is right or wrong in the military. It is best to have the title of each term assigned by the principal. β
Chiang Kai-shek now completely understood, he dared to ask him to come forward to do the work of the students just now, he was unwilling, what kind of debate competition, isn't this fooling himself? Thinking of this, he was a little angry.
"*, don't you have any worries, you should work boldly?"
Zhuang Jihua knew that Chiang Kai-shek had misunderstood and did not understand his purpose, so he had to make his words clear: "The principal misunderstood, the indoctrination method of education is not as good as the heuristic." The students thought that instead of justifying the principal's actions, it was better for the students to know for themselves. Principal, do you think that in order to win the competition, do the opposing students still try to get to know each other? As for the positive students, they can also be affected in the debate. Besides, it is difficult for students to win on this topic, because since ancient times, there has been no commander in the army, and the army of any country has not been completely boiled. β
Chiang Kai-shek now completely understood that as long as this topic was debated, then there was nothing wrong with the Xuanxia father incident, and the people's hearts would be saved at once, and he didn't have to come forward at all. After thinking about it, Chiang Kai-shek smiled, this Zhuang Jihua is really smart, and he can come up with such an idea.
"Very good,*, you can find a few classmates to do this, and report the expenses to me." Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile on his face.
"Headmaster, I still have to tell Director Shao about this."
"Whatever he is, whatever he is, come to me for something." To solve the trouble for himself, Chiang Kai-shek was still full of enthusiasm.
"Headmaster, students have one more suggestion." Zhuang Jihua has to inch in. However, Chiang Kai-shek was very happy and did not care, and motioned to him.
"According to the students' observations, many of the students are good at literature and art, and the students thought that they could organize them and set up a drama club, which could not only propagate the revolution, but also keep everyone busy, so as not to be too idle."
Chiang Kai-shek began to hesitate, and nodded at the end, saying that he could not let these students be too idle, and if they were idle, they would have to make trouble.
"Well, okay, it's up to you to come forward in this matter, discuss with Jiang Xianyun and He, and sort out a charter and hand it over to me and the political commissar."
"Yes, if the principal doesn't have any instructions, the students won't bother the principal."
"Okay,*, you are my recommendation, you must study carefully, don't lose my face. Go ahead" Chiang Kai-shek said to Zhuang Jihua with satisfaction, he was very satisfied today, and this Zhuang Jihua did not disappoint him.
Zhuang Jihua pouted as soon as he turned around, Lao Tzu gave you such a good idea, and he beat me twice,.
Next, Zhuang Jihua first brought Jiang Xianyun, Li Zhilong, He Jinhan, and then Chen Geng, Hu Zongnan and others to discuss the holding of a debate competition and the formation of a drama club. Naturally, everyone agreed, life in the military academy was too boring, and some activities certainly made everyone happy.
After discussion, everyone quickly came up with preliminary opinions on the competition procedures, competition methods, members of the organizing committee, and the composition of the judges, and Zhuang Jihua was elected as the general responsibility of the organizing committee officer.
Since the Hunan Army Cadre School has been merged into Huangpu and become the fifth district team of students, it is singular in terms of the number of teams, the game adopts the elimination of the repechage in the first stage, and the first team has a bye to directly enter the second round, and the losing two teams have a repechage match, and the winner enters the second round; In the second round, the knockout round is played against each other, and the winner advances to the final.
The composition of the participating teams, each team is composed of five people, divided into the main debate, the first deputy debate, the second deputy debate, the third debate, the supporter, the supporter is responsible for providing information support, can not speak. Candidates can be changed between games, but they must be students of the team.
Regarding the way of the competition, which is the method in the debate competition that Zhuang Jihua recalled in later generations (I will not write them one by one here), everyone thought it was very good and unanimously approved it. Everyone proposed different candidates for the judges, some said to invite the political commissar, some said to invite the principal, and finally Zhuang Jihua proposed that the school only invite the political commissar, and the other people should be invited to the outside of the school. So this matter asked Li Zhilong and He Jinhan (no way who let them know more people) come forward to invite.
In the end, Zhuang Jihua couldn't cry or laugh when the host was selected, he recommended Jiang Xianyun or Chen Geng, but the two rolled their eyes and said at the same time that they would not do it, they still wanted to participate in the competition, and finally everyone agreed that he Zhuang Jihua would be the post. Zhuang Jihua only smiled bitterly, he still wanted to go on the field to defend Principal Jiang, but now he has no chance, so he has to hope that Principal Jiang will not have other ideas.
Zhuang Jihua thinks that the candidates will be determined first, and everyone will see who is willing to participate, and those people have literary and artistic talents, so they should be determined first.
After several days of preparation, the debate competition officially opened.
