54. Talents who have been forgotten by history

By the end of September 1923, thousands of patriotic youths had rushed to Guangdong from all over the country, and most of them had already registered with the admissions offices of the Army Military Academy and the Military and Political School.

On the last day of September, a banner was hung at the entrance of the Xiaonanmen Higher Normal School in Guangzhou, "Joint Examination Room of the Military and Political School of the Army Military Military Academy," and the "Enlightenment of the Joint Examination Committee of the Two Schools" was also posted next to it. Young candidates from all over the country, with various ideals or ambitions, have walked into this examination room that is destined to change their lives. The exam will last for three days, with the first day for composition and history, the second day for mathematics and geography, and the last day for oral examination.

Different from the historical Whampoa Military Academy examination, this time it was a joint examination between two military schools, and most of the students registered at the same time in both places for the sake of having one more opportunity. According to the agreement between the two schools, all examinations registered at the same time in the two schools will be given priority by the military academy. Of course, this agreement is not actually bullying GCD, in fact, the two schools have different standards for talents. The Military Academy, presided over by Luo Yaoguo, attaches more importance to mathematics and geography, while the GCD pays more attention to the candidates' political views and revolutionary spirit.

The examiners of the two parties were responsible for reviewing the essays, and there were two essays, one entitled "On the External Troubles and Internal Troubles Facing China," and the other entitled "On the Causes of China's Poverty and Weakness and the Way to Save the Country."

The oral examination on the third day was presided over by Luo Yaoguo, Liao Zhongkai, Deng Yanda, and Zhang Shenfu. Chiang Kai-shek was now busy with the civil war in Guangxi, and the affairs of the military academy were still in charge of Luo Yaoguo and Liao Zhongkai. Among them, Luo Yaoguo and Liao Zhongkai asked questions on behalf of the Army Military Academy, and Deng Yanda and Zhang Shenfu asked questions on behalf of the Military and Political School.

"Wang introspection?" When he read the name of the next exam, Luo Yaoguo shook his head slightly, why did there come out so many new faces in the Huangpu enrollment this time? For example, this Wang Zijiu has never heard of it, and I don't know if it is a person from Whampoa in history, or he accidentally hung up the point, so

At this time, a young man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing round glasses and dressed as a scholar, walked into the examination room. "Contemptible Gansu Zhengning Wang introspective, please ask the two examiners to ask questions."

"You graduated from the Department of Physics at Peking University?" Luo Yaoguo took the candidate information handed over by Liao Zhongkai and was taken aback. "Studying at the Technical University of Hamburg, Germany. Can you not go to the military academy, how about I recommend you to go to the Ordnance Department? ”

"May I ask this examiner, is this the question of today's exam?" Wang Zizi asked as he lifted the frame of his glasses.

"No, it's just my personal advice." Luo Yaoguo knew the meaning of this person's words, nodded and said, "Okay, since you have the ideal of joining the revolutionary army, then I will ask questions." Why do you want to take the artillery course? ”

"Napoleon's most effective tactic is to bombard with artillery first, then charge the cavalry, and finally consolidate the position of the infantry. Either you don't learn, or if you want to learn, you have to learn to be the boss! ”

"Well, the understanding of artillery is in place." After listening to Wang Zijiu's answer, Luo Yaoguo was quite satisfied, and he didn't seem to be a hot-headed nerd when he heard his words, such a person might be useful. But that's not the end of the story. "You are from Gansu, so let me ask you, what do you think of the situation of the revolution in northwest China?"

The king smiled with a wicked smile: "The problem in the northwest is not how to revolution, but how to keep it." If the northwest holds high the banner of revolution, it will inevitably move closer to Soviet Russia, what is the position of Soviet Russia? It is other countries that want national self-determination, and they themselves are the people who are self-determined. The problem in the northwest is not class contradictions, but ethnic and religious contradictions, and the Han people in the northwest are actually not rulers but are in a weak position, and if they hold high the banner of revolution and stir up the revolutionary consciousness of the Hui Mongolian and Uyghur ethnic groups, I am afraid that the northwest will be non-state-owned. ”

"This classmate, please pay attention to your rhetoric, your criticism of the Soviet Union is contrary to the three major propositions of the prime minister." Hearing that this exam actually blamed the Soviet Union, Liao Zhongkai's brows furrowed, and he seemed to be about to kill people as soon as he raised his hand.

"How should the Northwest be preserved?" In the plan proposed by Luo Yaoguo, the northwest has always been a loophole, and if the power of the Kuomintang shrinks back to "farming" in the south, the northwest will always be in a semi-vacuum state, and it will really be taken advantage of by Soviet Russia. So today he said that he would not kick this person out of the examination room. "Liao Gong, there are no outsiders here, let's listen to his opinion."

"You!" Liao Zhongkai is a leftist, uh, a real leftist, that kind of left-like lovely leftist, but he also knows the weight of Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek with Mr. Zhongshan now. Knowing that he was just a vase, Liao Zhongkai had no choice but to endure the seizure, listening to Wang Zizhi continue to spread his theory of the Soviet threat.

"To protect the northwest, we must first know what areas need to be preserved in the northwest, and China's northwest includes three main plates: Xinjiang Province, Mongolia and Tibet Province. If the northwest is compared to a peach, Gansu and Ningxia are just a core, Qinghai still has some meat, and the real meat is sweet and sweet in Xinjiang Province, Mongolia and Tibet Province. Now these three pieces of territory are still in our hands except for Xinjiang Province, and of course they are not very secure. Both Mongolia and Tibetan provinces have already announced reading power! Wang Zizheng said this, and glanced at Liao Zhongkai coldly, and then looked at his appearance, where is there still a little bit of a humble gentleman? His face was gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were full of malice.

"What? Both Tibet and Mongolia have announced reading power? "Uh, what a lovely leftist! Liao Zhongkai's eyes widened, as if he heard an alien invasion. If it weren't for the fact that there was a door on the ear, this news would have been heard a long time ago.

"Mongolia was founded in July of the 10th year of the Republic of China, 10 days earlier than GCD. Tibetan Province announced it once after the Xinhai Revolution, but it had no effect, and they were gone. Luo Yaoguo had to patiently explain to Liao Zhongkai again, so he didn't believe that Liao Zhongkai really didn't know about [***] Li. In history, it must have been Liao Zhongkai who drove Wang Zizheng out of the examination room.

"Wang Zijiu, you have passed the exam. Here's my business card, I hope you can find time to go to my house, uh, those thoughts of yours are very bad, I'm going to take the time to help you alone. Luo Yaoguo stood up and walked to Wang Zizhi and stuffed his business card to him, and then sent him away quickly, don't provoke Huangpu's mommy Liao Zhongkai, it's also very scary for mommy to lose her temper.

"Text! What we want to recruit in our military academy is revolutionary youth! Not counter-revolutionaries! It wasn't until Wang Zizheng walked out of the examination room triumphantly that Liao Zhongkai recovered from the bad news of [***] Li and complained about Luo Yaoguo. However, he still loves Luo Yaoguo, a junior, he has a good relationship with Uncle Luo Yiqun, and he can be regarded as growing up watching Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo nodded sincerely. "Liao Gong, I know, but this Wang Zijiu is indeed a rare talent, I will talk to him and help him well."

"That's right." Liao Zhongkai nodded, but thought in his heart: "The little guy is fooling people again, you want to find someone to help, right?" Not to mention that this military school has really attracted a lot of talents. ”

"Li Wenhua?" Luo Yaoguo saw that Liao Zhongkai's face had improved, and hurriedly read the name of the next exam. Seems to be a living person? I don't know how to introspect than that king?

Walking in was a sunny boy, about 23 or 24 years old, about the same age as Luo Yaoguo, tall, slender, and with light steps. He had a sunny smile on his face, and his eyes were full of sincerity and wisdom.

"Two examiners, I am Li Wenhua." The older boy smiled slightly and bowed to the two instructors.

"Please be seated." Liao Zhongkai was very satisfied with Li Wenhua's attitude, nodded and asked him to sit down.

"Harvard Business School?" Luo Yaoguo took Li Wenhua's resume and saw that this Li Wenhua actually graduated from Harvard Business School, and instead of being a comprador of a foreign bank, he actually came to take the Huangpu exam, is Huangpu so good? But why hasn't this person been heard of in history? Shouldn't it be eliminated by Mommy? Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo secretly glanced at Liao Zhongkai out of the corner of his eye.

"Excuse me, how do you think the cannon should be used in the future?" Li Wenhua also took the artillery exam, so Luo Yaoguo also raised a question related to artillery.

"Load the cannon on the plane!" What a fucking talent! Li Wenhua's answer turned out to be like this. "In the future, we need a cannon that can fly. Now the development of aviation technology is very rapid, I think it will not take 20 years for artillery to be directly loaded onto airplanes, and then fly over the enemy's head and bombard with bombardment. I think this is the artillery of the future in my mind, the artillery with wings, the best combination of mobility and lethality. ”

"How should this flying artillery be used?" Luo Yaoguo felt that he was not presiding over the exam, but Taobao!

"Hmm." The big boy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "We can use this flying cannon to attack the opponent's airfields, artillery positions, and transportation hubs before a sudden attack is launched. During the attack, these flying cannons should focus on attacking the opponent's lines of communication, cutting off the delivery of their troops and supplies. Well, coordination should also be maintained by radio and the ground forces, and the ground forces will attack when they find the target indicating that the artillery will fly"
