In the last issue, the polymath introduced the five best comprehensive military schools in China, and today the polymath will introduce the top four military academies in the world.
First United States Military Academy at West Point
The Full Name of The United States Military Academy at West Point is The United States Military Academy At West Point. On March 16, 1802, president Jefferson, the second president of the United States, signed a law to begin work on the establishment of the Federal West Point Army Officer School, which was established on July 4 of the same year. Since the first day of its establishment, West Point has taken the training of first-class officers as the purpose of the school, so it also adheres to strict requirements in terms of cadet admission requirements, and has clear regulations on cadets' academic achievements, physical fitness, height standards, and nationality of applicants. According to preliminary statistics, in the more than 200 years since the establishment of West Point, more than 3,700 generals have been trained, from World War I to World War II, from the Civil War to the Gulf War, almost every battlefield is active West Point graduates. For this reason, West Point is also known as the "cradle of generals".
Second, The French Military Academy Saint Cyr
This is a military academy established by Napoleon in 1803 in the Saint-Cyr region near Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, covering an area of 0.5 square kilometers, which is very similar to the United States Military Academy at West Point in terms of its establishment time and size. The school also produced a large number of outstanding generals for France, and almost all senior generals in the French Army graduated from here, such as Marshal Alphonse Juan, Marshal Oteclok, Marshal Philippe Pétain and President de Gaulle. Since its establishment, the Saint-Cyr Military Academy has trained more than 60,000 outstanding generals for France and made important contributions to the cause of national defense.
Third Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, UK
The Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, England was formerly known as the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich. He was approved in 1741 by a document signed by King George II of the United Kingdom, and the elite it cultivated made Britain a stronghold against fascism and a base for the liberation of Europe during World War II. Prominent figures who came out of this school were British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, the famous military man Montgomery, British Field Marshal Roberts, Alexander and Fistin.
Fourth Russian Frunze Military Academy
The Frunze Military Academy was founded on the instructions of Lenin and ordered by the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic on October 7, 1918, as the General Staff College of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with the aim of training command cadres with a high military education from the workers and peasants. On 5 November 1925, it was named the Frunze Military Academy. During World War II, a large number of command personnel were sent to the front-line troops, and more than 3,000 were sent in 1941 alone. Famous generals such as Marshal Bagramyan, Zhukov, and Voronov have successively stepped out, and Marshal Liu Bocheng and General Zuo Quan of our country have also studied here.
In fact, there are many famous military academies in China, such as the Whampoa Military Academy. The polymath personally believes that the talents cultivated by the Whampoa Military Academy also contributed a lot to the anti-fascist war in World War II, and from this point of view, he should also be selected.
