sent Zhuang Jihua away, and Jiang Xianyun and Li Zhilong also left together. Li Zhilong is the translator of General Counsel Borodin, and his other identity is [***] liaison with Borodin, responsible for liaising with [***] Guangdong District Committee. Young and high-spirited, plus he has always considered himself a superhuman in defense, and he doesn't want to eat a small turtle today, he can't help but be a little angry, Jiang Xianyun knows his thoughts, but although he doesn't agree with Zhuang Jihua's point of view, he can't come up with better evidence. So he comforted:

"In Tian, it seems that Lieutenant General Huangpu has gathered the best talents in China at present, I thought that He Jinhan was already an outstanding figure, but I didn't expect that Zhuang Jihua to be even more outstanding."

"I had heard of He Jinhan when I was in Hankou before, and the article was well written, but Zhuang Jihua had never heard of it, and his set of theories was completely different from our party's understanding of the Chinese revolution, but it was difficult for people to refute it." Lee Zhilong was a little frustrated.

"It is difficult to refute that we have not studied Marxism enough, and since we joined the revolution, we have rarely been able to calm down and systematically study revolutionary theory whenever we have been running around, and we must step up our study, and if people outside the party have a better understanding of Marxist theory than our party members, then it is not a matter of being laughed at." Jiang Xianyun said seriously.

"Well, you're right." Although Li Zhilong said this, he didn't think so in his heart. Jiang Xianyun could only sigh in his heart when he saw it in his eyes.

On March 27, when the spring in Guangzhou was early, and the north was still enduring the last blowing of the north wind, Guangzhou was already in full bloom.

At the small south gate, a banner was erected at the entrance of the Guangzhou Higher Normal School, and the examination room of the National Revolutionary Army Military Academy was also posted next to the "Enlightenment of the Examination Committee of the Army Military Academy", and candidates from all over the country entered the examination room one after another. On the first day, the test was composition and history, the second day was mathematics and geography, and the last day was an oral examination, which was presided over by Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda, and Zhang Shenfu.

"Please talk about the relationship between imperialism and the national revolution." After Zhuang Jihua came in, Liao Zhongkai looked at this candidate who was recommended by Chiang Kai-shek and Deng Yanda, and since that day, he has not had a chance to talk to him again. Therefore, I came up with a question that I thought was more difficult.

"The purpose of the revolution is to defeat the warlords and restore national sovereignty, so the revolution and the imperialist powers are natural enemies, and the contradictions between the two are inevitable and unavoidable, but the great powers are not monolithic, there are contradictions between them, and at the same time there are differences in their strength. After President Wilson, the United States pursued isolationism, so although the United States was the strongest in the world, it was impossible for him to send troops to intervene in the Chinese revolution, and the United States pursued an open-door policy, and was dissatisfied with the unfair trade practiced by Britain and France in its colonies, so the United States may become our ally under certain circumstances. Our most dangerous enemy is Sayben. Since the Meiji Restoration, he has been pursuing a policy of continental expansion, and he did not suffer any losses in the European War, and after the war, he received German colonies in the Far East, and his strength increased, while the decline in the strength of Britain and France was an opportunity for him, so I thought that he would accelerate the pace of aggression against China, and the only one who could send troops to interfere in the national revolution in the future among the great powers was Saymoto. …。 ”

Zhuang Jihua fully expounded on the impact of the revolution on the interests of the great powers in China, to the evolution of international politics after the European war, and then the changes in China policy caused by such changes, and finally he also roughly analyzed the attitudes of the great powers towards the national revolution and the possible countermeasures.

Talent, talent, the more Liao Zhongkai listened, the more satisfied he became, and he even thought that this person should not go to Huangpu, but to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And Zhang Shenfu, who knew nothing before this, felt even stronger, thinking that Li Zhilong and Jiang Xianyun of his party were already outstanding talents, but he didn't expect that this young man was not inferior, and he might even be stronger, maybe the one who was still in France could overpower him.

Nowadays, very few people know about Zhang Shenfu, and this gentleman is also one of the strange people of the Republic of China. He is the founder of three political parties that are now active in Chinese politics: the China [***], the Peasants' and Workers' Ming Cook Party, and the Democratic League. In the end, they are independent; He was the introducer of Zhou Enlai and Zhu De, the two giants of China, but ignored * (when Mao was in Beipiao, he was Mao's department manager); opposed Jiang all his life, but when Lao Jiang was about to finish, he published an article advocating the rule of the river, which caused his wife to run away; If you want to say such a thing, you should follow Lao Chiang to Taiwan, but he stayed on the mainland until his death.

"That's a good point, let's talk about your understanding of Sanming Cooking." Zhang Shenfu wanted to see this young man again.

"Sanming boiled righteousness is the nation, civil rights, and people's livelihood; I believe that the nation is the sovereignty of the state, the civil rights are the people's right to boil, it includes the rights enjoyed by the people such as association and voting rights, and the people's livelihood is the people's living conditions. Sanming is the ultimate goal of the revolution. …。 To be honest, Zhuang Jihua's understanding of Sanming Cooking mainly comes from reading the newspaper recently and listening to the conversations of He Jinhan, Hu Zongnan and others, and Zhang Shenfu can be regarded as asking the point.

Although Zhuang Jihua's answer is not bad, it is a lot mediocre compared to the excellence just now; Liao Zhongkai felt that the evaluation just now might be too high, at least this young man still needs to strengthen the study of Sanming Cooking.

"What do you think is the difference between a revolutionary army and a warlord army?" Deng Yanda, who had been accompanying the prince to study books, suddenly asked a question, Liao Zhongkai and Zhang Shenfu smiled at the same time in their hearts, knowing that Deng Yanda was happy to see the hunt.

"The revolutionary army is an army armed with revolutionary theory, a new type of army; The warlord army is a feudal army, an old army destined to be eliminated, this is their essential difference. The specific manifestation is that the soldiers' combat purposes are different, the army armed by revolutionary theory fights for faith and doctrine, and the feudal army fights for the personal interests of its superiors; Therefore, the revolutionary soldiers are less afraid of death, have higher morale, are more disciplined, and are more supported by the people; As for the warlord army, morale is maintained by money, loyalty is also maintained by money and other interests, military discipline is corrupted, and the people are disgusted; In wartime, the advantages surged upward, and the defeat was scattered in a hurry. …。 ”

Deng Yanda was very satisfied. Zhuang Jihua didn't know that he was the only candidate who was "cross-examined" by three examiners, and created a Whampoa record that was not available in later generations.

"Shenfu, there are a lot of talents among the candidates this time, you read this article." Liao Zhongkai handed the test paper in his hand to Zhang Shenfu. After the oral examination, the "Admissions Office" of Nandi No. 2 devoted itself to the marking of the papers, history, geography, and mathematics were handed over to the teachers of the normal school, and the essays were personally corrected by Liao Zhongkai and Zhang Shenfu. The title of the essay is "On the Causes of China's Poverty and the Way to Salvation".

"...., the root cause of China's poverty and weakness lies in the plundering of imperialism, and the concrete implementation is the imperialist agent warlords in China, and the only way to overthrow the warlords and expel imperialism is to make China poor and weak into prosperity and strength, and to achieve this goal, it is necessary to mobilize and rely on the ,......, of millions of workers and peasants."

"Good article, loud and sound." Zhang Shenfu couldn't help but applaud loudly, "Jiang Xianyun, it really deserves its reputation." ”

"Shen Fu knows about this candidate."

"He and Li Zhilong are the leaders of the young generation of our party, they have led the labor movement in Hunan, they are one of the leaders of the labor movement in Hunan, and Zhao Hengti is still wanted by him."

"It's no wonder that such a young age can write such a profound and passionate article."

"Zhong Kai, look at this article, that Zhuang Jihua's." After a while, Zhang Shenfu handed Liao Zhongkai another exam paper. These two people are reading the papers and appreciating the papers.

"I'll take a look, it's rare that Kai-shek and Zesheng are very optimistic about him." Liao Zhongkai took it

Therefore, the outward manifestation of China's poverty and weakness is warlordism and imperialism, but the internal cause is ignorance and backward feudal culture, and the Xinhai Revolution only overthrew the emperor sitting on the Jinluan Palace, but did not get rid of the feudal ideology in the minds of the people. …。 ”

"......, the road to China's prosperity and strength lies in the development of science and technology, the innovation of thinking, and the reform of the political system and social culture. The strength of the West lies in industry, and the foundation of industry lies in education and technology. If China wants to rejuvenate itself and regain its standing among the nations of the world, we must vigorously promote science and technology education. To achieve this goal, we must first have a powerful central political axe and promote it with the power of the central government. ......, from this point of view, the reunification of the whole country is only the first step in China's prosperity and strength,...。 ”

Zhuang Jihua's salvation is a long treatise, divided into three parts: politics, economy, and military; In his political strategy, he emphasized that cooperation between the KMT and the CCP was the basis for promoting the development of the revolution, and proposed the establishment of an anti-militarist united front with KMT-CCP cooperation as the core to unite people from all walks of life, but also pointed out that the KMT-CCP cooperation was not strong and there were many uncertainties, which implicitly mentioned the differences between the KMT and the CCP on the methods of social reform and the possible consequences of such differences. The solution he proposed was to follow the model of the two parties in the United States, develop the two parties on an equal footing, establish a joint conference of the two parties, and appoint special personnel to liaise with each other to facilitate communication.

In the part of economic strategy, he proposed land reform, which was carried out by reducing rents and interest rates, and at the same time imposing high taxes on landlords' rents, the purpose of which was to force landlords to divert capital from land to industry, so as to make up for the lack of investment in industry by the political axe; Heavy industry should be controlled by the state and light industry should be opened up.

In the section on the military strategy of the revolution, he proposed that the first crusade to the east should eliminate Chen Jiongming, and the reorganization of the Guangdong army to make it completely revolutionary, so as to consolidate the Guangdong base areas. Then he moved westward to occupy Guangxi, achieving the strategic goal of expanding the strategic depth of Guangdong's base area and establishing a western barrier, and then used the power of the two Guangxi to invade the Central Plains in the north.

Liao Zhongkai was silent after reading it, he studied both China and the West, and had a high understanding of the shortcomings of traditional Chinese culture, and Zhang Shenfu was also a scholar who integrated China and the West, and these two people knew the value of this article completely. However, the political views of the article are different from the mainstream consciousness of the two parties at present, and the military strategy is also different from Mr. Zhongshan's proposition, but it is undeniable that the economic strategy and military strategy mentioned in the article are very feasible, and although they are not as impassioned as Jiang Xianyun's, they are better than the arguments.

Liao Zhongkai sighed softly, "Shen Mansion, what do you think?" ”

"The article is naturally a good article, to be honest, I only had a vague understanding of some problems, but now it's a bit of a mouthful. This Zhuang Jihua is still so young, rare, rare. Was he a member of the Kuomintang? ”

Liao Zhongkai knew that the problem Zhang Shenfu said was about [***] members joining the Kuomintang, and Zhang Shenfu had told him that he did not approve of this decision. In terms of revolutionary methods, the Kuomintang advocated a top-down revolution, [***] advocated bottom-up; Therefore, there was opposition in both parties to join the Kuomintang, but the Kuomintang had Sun Yat-sen to suppress it, and [***] had the Comintern's decision, which could not be ignored.

Seeing Zhang Shenfu ask Zhuang Jihua if he was a member of the Kuomintang, he knew what he meant, and replied quietly: "No, it's just that it was introduced by Kai-shek and Zesheng." After speaking, he put Zhuang Jihua's roll into the drawer.

Zhuang Jihua is actually very contradictory, he doesn't know that the views he expressed in the article are different from the mainstream consciousness, and when he first saw this topic, he wanted to write according to the mainstream consciousness. However, the development of history has proved that there is an error in this consciousness. In the textbooks of the previous life, the reason for the failure of the Great Revolution was completely pushed to the split and right-leaning opportunism of the Kuomintang rightists, but these rightists were mainly the Kuomintang veterans who followed Sun Yat-sen in the early days, such as Zou Lu, Xie Zhijiang, Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui, Dai Jitao, etc., because these people were in the role of villains, during the period of political tension, their faces were fixed, and with the loosening of the political air and the increase in research in this area, their faces gradually fell off, and people knew that these people also had such extraordinary experiences. Later generations made a simple comment on the two parties of this era: [***] like internationalists, and the Kuomintang like nationalists.

Zhuang Jihua was in a dilemma, he believed that the split between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was the main reason for the failure of the Great Revolution, and [***] embarked on the road of armed resistance to seize power after suffering heavy losses; The Kuomintang was victorious and defeated, and since then it has fallen into internal divisions, and has never been able to establish a completely unified country, and has not been able to truly achieve military and political unity until it is defeated and left the mainland. As the person who knows the historical development best in this era, he can't "praise" the current mainstream consciousness, and finally gritted his teeth, or used this opportunity to remind the high-level, as for what the consequences are, he doesn't care.

In April, the military academy enrollment list was released, Jiang Xianyun ranked first, and Zhuang Jihua was second.

Chiang Kai-shek returned to Guangzhou in mid-April, nearly ten days earlier than in his previous life.

On 3 May, Sun Yat-sen resigned from the post of principal of the Whampoa Military Academy and became the premier of the military academy, Chiang Kai-shek was officially inaugurated as the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Liao Zhongkai became the party representative of the military academy. Li Jishen is the director of the training department, Deng Yanda is the deputy director of the coaching department, and He Yingqin is the chief instructor.

From May 5 to 7, all the admitted candidates officially entered the school and were organized into teams 1-4 to receive the education of enlisted students, Jiang Xianyun, Zhuang Jihua, and He Jinhan were assigned to the first student team, Hu Zongnan was assigned to the fourth student team, and Li Zhilong and Yu Jishi were assigned to the second student team.
