If the college entrance examination in the modern era does not pass the university entrance examination, will anyone want to forge a degree? We have become accustomed to all kinds of fake academic qualifications in modern society, but have we ever thought that Chiang Kai-shek, an outstanding politician of a generation, has also played the game of fake academic qualifications? Chiang Kai-shek's success depended largely on his military leadership, and in the Kuomintang army, three cadets from his alma mater were favored: the Baoding Military Academy, the Whampoa Military Academy, and the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. These three categories of people rose rapidly through the ranks of the Kuomintang army, producing many outstanding generals. Chiang Kai-shek claimed to have studied at the Baoding Military Academy, during the Qing Dynasty. Subsequently, he was sent to Japan, where he studied the curriculum of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. Some of these three categories were Chiang Kai-shek's classmates, and some were soldiers of the troops under his command. Later, people wondered whether Chiang Kai-shek actually studied at these two schools, especially during the Liberation War, and Chiang's performance in military strategy and tactics raised doubts about whether he really received formal military training. In this regard, an investigation was carried out to try to find out if he really graduated from these schools.
The question of whether Chiang Kai-shek actually studied at the Baoding Military Academy and the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School caused controversy. In fact, according to historical research, Chiang Kai-shek did study for some time at the predecessor of the Baoding Military Academy. However, after he traveled to Japan, he first entered a preparatory school in Japan called Zhenmu Gakudo. After studying at Zhenbu Academy for a period of time, students with excellent student grades can apply for admission to the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. This is because at that time, Japan accepted a large number of Chinese students in the hope that they would use Japan's modern knowledge to improve China. Due to the shortage of teachers in military schools in Japan, many preparatory schools have been established to provide students with training before entering regular military schools. Chiang Kai-shek studied at the Zhenwu Academy for some time, but did not excel in the exam, so he failed to enter the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School.
However, when Chiang Kai-shek later rose to prominence and became the leader of the Kuomintang, he had the question of how to construct an image of himself as a military school graduate. He approached Liu Zongji, the president of the Zhenwu Academy, and proposed a deal in which he was willing to donate 50,000 yuan to the reunion, provided that the alumni would put his name on the list of graduates. Liu Zongji agreed to the deal, and Chiang Kai-shek's name was added to the list of graduates of the Zhenwu School. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek had a seemingly formal academic background. In addition, Chiang Kai-shek also used his friendship with Zhang Qun, a graduate of the 10th class of the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, to confirm his claim that he graduated from the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. Zhang Qun had been following Chiang Kai-shek, attending various gatherings together, and claimed that Chiang Kai-shek was his senior. This led outsiders to believe that Chiang Kai-shek received military training at the Japanese Army Non-Commissioned Officer School. Thus, Chiang Kai-shek succeeded in turning his fake academic qualifications into a widely recognized reality.
Chiang Kai-shek's falsification of academic qualifications revealed his willingness to resort to improper means in order to maintain his image and authority. The incident also highlights that historical intrigue and political imperatives often lead to distortions of truth. Chiang Kai-shek's success depended not only on the talent of a military leader, but also on his skillful management and packaging of his image. This story teaches us that in the political arena, image and communication are equally important, and sometimes more critical.
