1918 was also an extremely important year in the history of Chinese sports, and on April 10, 1918, the government of the Kuomintang, the Chinese Progressive Party, and the Kuomintang Socialist Party was established. This is also the third reorganization of the Nationalist Government in less than two years since its establishment in 1916, and unlike the previous two times, the members of the Chinese ** Party Cabinet who originally belonged to the Guangfu Society have basically disappeared except Cai Yuanpei.

The list of members of the Council is as follows:

However, Wang Zhengting's new position is actually the chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee. Wang Zhengting, who was frustrated by officialdom, accepted this new appointment without saying anything, and what he didn't even expect was that this position would still be remembered by history many years later.

The headquarters of the Chinese Olympic Committee was located in Shanghai, which is said to have been requested by Wang Zhenyu, for which Wang Zhenyu also summoned Wang Zhengting, the first chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, in Wuhan alone. Xiong Xiling, then premier of the State Council, even wrote an inscription for the Chinese Olympic Committee: "Develop sports and strengthen the national system".

Wang Zhengting originally thought that this Olympic Committee was just an idle place for him, but after he was personally received and interviewed by Wang Zhenyu for more than three hours, his views changed, and when he came to the headquarters of the Chinese Olympic Committee in Shanghai, he firmly believed that Wang Dashuai said that he would create a big scene.

Located on the banks of the Huangpu River, the four-line warehouse is the most luxurious office building of any Olympic committee in this era, with more than 400 staff members maintaining the daily operation of the entire organization. Wang Zhenyu allocated 300 million Chinese yuan from the precious military expenditure as the starting capital of the Chinese Olympic Committee, and demanded that the Chinese Olympic Games immediately come up with a 20-year long-term plan.

Wang Zhengting did not live up to Wang Zhenyu's expectations, and immediately organized a group of sports enthusiasts from various colleges and universities to start working day and night, and on May 5, a 200,000-word planning report was placed on Wang Zhenyu's desk.

To Chen Bui, who is familiar with Wang Zhenyu's habits, he was extremely surprised that Wang Zhenyu took the initiative to turn down the meeting plan with the British and French consuls on this day, and instead took out a whole afternoon to talk to Wang Zhengting alone, communicating while reading the plan.

Also present at the meeting were Zhang Boling, Shen Siliang, Yuan Dunli, Hao Gengsheng, Gao Zi, Wu Yunrui, Ma John, and Jiang Xiangqing.

According to the provisions of this charter, the nature of the Sports Federation of the Republic of China belongs to non-governmental sports associations. The Chinese Olympic Committee is a subsidiary of the IOC and will submit an application to the IOC in the future.

As a non-governmental organization, the Sports Federation of the Republic of China adopts a membership system and sets up branches in various provinces and cities across the country. The main work is to select members of the national team in related sports at all levels, organize various sports competitions, popularize and promote modern sports, and enrich the cultural life of the people.

Its organizational structure is formed by indirect elections, starting with the election of national sports commissioners at the county level on a basis of one indicator per county to participate in the work of the provincial and municipal Olympic Committees (which are also sports federations). Secondly, the representatives elected according to the proportion of the population of the provinces and districts will form the members of the General Sports Association of the Republic of China and the members of the Chinese Olympic Games together with the leaders of each sport. This body will exist as the supreme authority of the General Sports Federation of the Republic of China and the Chinese Olympic Committee. Elections are held every four years and are allowed to be re-elected, except that the age of regular staff is not allowed to exceed 70 years, except for honors. The day-to-day work of the body will be headed by a five-member Presidium consisting of a President, three Vice-Presidents and a Secretary-General, also for a term of four years......

As for the focus and direction of the work of the entire organization at the current stage, Wang Zhenyu clearly put forward three points:

The first is to coordinate and cooperate with local governments to develop a standard for the grading of sports venues. In the provincial capitals of each province, the construction of a standard of more than 50,000 people in the scale of large-scale Olympic sports centers is not allowed to exceed 20,000 outside the provincial capital. At the same time, all public primary schools, middle schools and universities will strive for land allocation from the local government to build sports venues. This should also be done in factories and mining enterprises, requiring the Olympic committees at the provincial and municipal levels to establish relations with local primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and large factories and mining enterprises, and to promote the formation of sports clubs by sports enthusiasts in these places.

Second, the establishment of the Chinese Football Association, the designation of football as the national sport, and the large-scale promotion of the whole country. It is planned to hold the quadrennial China Cup football tournament (with the participation of provincial and municipal teams) and the football club league within two years.

Third, establish mechanisms such as coach training and athlete selection to prepare for the 1920 Antwerp Olympic Games, strive to achieve good results, and change the world's perception of Chinese physique......

There are money, people, and directions, Wang Zhengting, if they still can't do a good job, they will make jokes. It is worth mentioning that the IOC at this time was not as rich as later generations, and the French Coubertin, the then president of the Olympic Committee and the founder of the international Olympic movement, even used his own money to promote the sport, which directly led to the constraints of his later life.

But history changed here, and when the report of China's application to join appeared on his desk, the hard-fought father of sports burst into tears. Because Chinese sent not only an application for membership, but also a remittance of 100,000 US dollars and an invitation to invite Mr. Couberton of the International Olympic Committee to lead a delegation of no more than 50 people to China to guide the development of the Olympic work, if he can come, the Chinese Olympic Committee will provide 200,000 US dollars of sponsorship for the Antwerp Olympic Games......

In August 1918, Coubertin and his entourage of 20 people boarded a cruise ship carried by the China Ocean Shipping Company to the Expeditionary Force, and went to the mysterious Orient with the Chinese soldiers whose faces were full of homesickness...... Coubertin spent three months in China, including inspecting the first Olympic Stadium in Shanghai, an 80,000-seat stadium that made Coubertin eager to relocate the Games to the site. And what the Chinese Olympic Committee showed during this inspection made Coubertin even more satisfied, because he saw a mature and efficient institution in operation, which made him envious. After inspecting the Wuhan Olympic Center and the first Wuhan Sports Games in Wuhan, Coubertin had dinner with Wang Zhenyu, the first warlord of the East, Coubertin praised Wang Zhenyu as an elegant and polite person, and Wang Zhengting, president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, was directly appointed by Coubertin as the third vice president of the International Olympic Committee......

At a time when Chinese people's sports career was booming, in a basement in Germany, a secret meeting was going on to decide the fate of the world......

Yu Dawei never dreamed that an ordinary sponsored international student would be assigned to participate in such an important underground conference, and the things to be discussed at this meeting were so appalling that they made his blood boil as a Chinese.

After the outbreak of the February Revolution, the Germans were unsurprisingly defeated, this time a complete defeat, and the Allied troops unceremoniously stepped into German territory, and if it were not for the British mediation, the Ruhr industrial area would now become part of French territory. This damn war caused the Germans to lose their already small colonies, the domestic contradictions were further aggravated, and the society fell into unprecedented turmoil and unrest, but these are not important, the important thing is that the Junker aristocracy and capitalists in Germany are not willing to lose Germany, they are busy suppressing the workers' uprising at home while secretly planning, they must find a way to create conditions and opportunities for Germany to rise again, and at this time, A Chinese diplomat named Wang Chonghui hooked up with the most damned Germans through a 21-year-old Chinese student, Yu Dawei. Although the Germans hated the Chinese army in the European war, they had no better choice now when they were drowning, and they had to grasp the last straw
