Chapter 11 Special Officials and Clerks

  Following the source of the sound, Sun Xinghua saw Chen Cheng, who was serving as a special officer in Huangpu. Although Chen had already stood up straight, he did not salute Zhou Enlai, which caused dissatisfaction from Liao Zhongkai on the side, and he immediately rebuked him with a sentence.

  However, Chen Cheng did not salute Zhou Enlai due to Liao Zhongkai's rebuke. Instead, he puffed out his chest and said seriously to Liao: "We have different beliefs. Director Zhou believes in communism, while I believe in the Three Principles of the People."

  "Different beliefs are acceptable, but don't forget that you're a Whampoa military man." Liao Zhongkai said solemnly, his eyes staring fiercely at Chen Cheng.

  "What the party representative said is right. The salute between soldiers is a form of etiquette, rather than a tribute to ideology." Zhou Erceng slowly said.

  "Does everyone remember?" Liao Zhongkai shouted loudly.

  "Remembered." The teachers and students replied immediately.

  Zhou E walked up to Chen Cheng's side, then bowed respectfully and walked past him.

  Chiang Kai-shek looked at Chen Cheng but didn't say anything and continued introducing the military school's instructors to Zhou Enlai.

  After the introduction was over, Chiang Kai-shek gave the order and all students began their classes.

  Xinghua Sun's class was in the afternoon, and then he returned to his own office.

  "Deputy Commander Sun, can we talk?" Zhou E Lai looked at Sun Xinghua wanting to leave and quickly walked over, calling out to him.

  "Oh, Director Zhou, what's up?" Sun Xinghua was somewhat puzzled when Zhou En called out to him and immediately stopped in his tracks, looking at Zhou.

  Zhou smiled and walked alongside Sun Xinghua, saying: "Deputy Commander Sun, I'd like to discuss the Blood Flower Drama Club's issues with you."

  Sun Xinghua looked at Zhou E Lai beside him and immediately understood what he meant.

  "Director Zhou, the Blood Flower Drama Society is in charge of publicity, and publicity belongs to the Political Department. I personally won't have any opinions, the Blood Flower Drama Society can be reassigned to the Political Department." Sun Xinghua hastily said a sentence, although he didn't serve as the president of the Blood Flower Drama Society, but within the Whampoa Military Academy, everyone was clear that Sun Xinghua had founded the Blood Flower Drama Society with his own hands. When it came to organizing performances for the Blood Flower Drama Society, the school leaders would directly consult with Sun Xinghua.

  When Sun Xinghua said this, a smile appeared on Zhou E's face.

  After a moment of silence, Zhou E continued to say: "Deputy Director Sun, the Blood Flower Drama Club was created by you, why don't you also come to the Political Department and take on another role, and do some propaganda work with the teachers and students together."

  "Director Zhou, I'm afraid you're not clear. Now I've taken on the role of deputy team leader of the teaching team, and I have to be responsible for both teaching and training, so I'm afraid I won't have time to work in the political department anymore. However, I can promise you that as long as the political department needs me, I'll be there at a moment's notice." Sun Xinghua hastily said.

  It's not that he didn't want to go to the Political Department, but Sun Xinghua's work is really too busy now. Apart from the normal teaching at the military academy, all the troops entering Huangpu Island are trained by Sun Xinghua, and even students who have a good relationship with him often receive special treatment from him.

  Zhou E came to hear Sun Xinghua say this, and didn't insist on anything, but instead walked towards the school's main building.

  "Is there something on your mind, Ci Xiu?" Sun Xinghua deliberately fell back a few steps and walked to Chen Cheng's side, asking in a low voice.

  Chen Cheng saw Sun Xinghua and hastily saluted, saying: "Vice-Commandant Sun."

  "Xiu Shu, we don't have to be so polite with each other. Today's matter, I must criticize you a bit. Currently, the issues within the school are very sensitive, and we should try not to get entangled in these sensitive issues. You didn't salute Director Zhou, which seems like a simple matter, but if people with ulterior motives find out, it might stir up more controversy again. The party representative criticized you also for your own good." Sun Xinghua said solemnly.

  Although Chen Cheng is older than Sun Xinghua, the latter has a better understanding of human nature. In the school, things may seem calm on the surface, but beneath the surface, there are hidden undercurrents that even Principal Chiang Kai-shek cannot control, let alone Chen Cheng.

  "Deputy Commander Sun, I didn't think that much, just..." Chen Cheng's dejected appearance showed that he was obviously somewhat unbalanced in his mind.

  Xinghua Sun smiled and said to Chen Cheng: "A golden unicorn is not an ordinary creature, once it encounters the wind and clouds, it becomes a dragon."

  After finishing speaking, Sun Xinghua walked towards the school's main building.

  Chen Cheng thought for a moment, and soon after, a smile appeared on his face.

  The headquarters building, Chiang Kai-shek's office.

  Sun Xinghua had just arrived at the office when he was called here by Shen Jian.

  Chiang Kai-shek was still wearing a grey military uniform, sitting in a chair, carefully examining the documents.

  When Sun Xinghua arrived, Chiang Kai-shek's face broke into a smile and he motioned for Sun to sit down beside him.

  "Wait a minute," Chiang Kai-shek said, continuing to look at the documents on the table.

  About five minutes later, Zhou E, also wearing a military uniform, came here.

  "Assisting the country, this is Premier Sun's telegram. Take a close look." Chiang Kai-shek handed over a telegram and directly gave it to Sun Xinghua.

  Sun Xinghua took over the telegram and looked at it, with a surprised expression on his face.

  The telegram was sent by Sun Xinghua's father, Sun Shi Yu. The telegram did not mention Sun Xinghua at all, but only inquired about Sun Zhongshan. In the following content, it supported a part of Sun Zhongshan's ocean and mentioned that he had heard about the establishment of revolutionary troops, preparing weapons for them, and donating to the revolutionary troops.

  "Principal, this..." Sun Xinghua looked at Chiang Kai-shek with some confusion.

  His father, Sun Shi-yu, was a big shot and had provided Sun Yat-sen with quite a few Browning automatic rifles and Thompson submachine guns, as well as several American artillery pieces. These weapons were undoubtedly a timely help to the Whampoa Military Academy.

  "This time I called you here, mainly for this matter. You go to Guangzhou and transport back these weapons. Also, Director Zhou of the Political Department plans to open a library in the school. This time when you go to Guangzhou, help Director Zhou buy some books and organize the library." Chiang Kai-shek said with his Zhejiang accent, looking at Sun Xinghua.

  "Yes, Principal." Sun Xinghua hastily stood up and saluted.

  Chiang Kai-shek nodded in satisfaction, looking at Sun Xinghua and saying: "You go find Chen Cheng, let him lead a few students, and together with you to Guangzhou. Also, Director Zhou will follow you there. This is Director Zhou's first time in Guangzhou, you can take him around."

  "Yes." Sun Xinghua replied.

  Director Zhou (hereinafter referred to as Director Zhou), on the other hand, smiled at Sun Xinghua.
