The commander is the core force of the army. With the existence of the commander-in-chief, the cohesion of the army can be realized, and the spirit of the commander-in-chief is also an important pillar to lead the army to fight. Therefore, Sun Yat-sen attached great importance to the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, with the ultimate goal of cultivating soldiers who share and adhere to the "Three People's Principles", so that they can always be infected by the "Three People's Principles" in the army and make a breakthrough in the overall combat effectiveness of the army. This is why the Northern Expedition Army was stronger than the Northern Warlords in the Northern Expedition War, and why the * * * Army defeated the strong with the weak in the later war. Therefore, the establishment of the army must ensure the unity of ideals or beliefs in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the army.
School enrollment and development are particularly important. Just like today's Tsinghua Peking University, the students here are the best among the national college students in both learning and practical ability. Being able to enter this school proves that your college starting point is much higher. Therefore, the people who were able to study at the Whampoa Military Academy at that time were basically not ordinary people, and they were more or less outstanding. They are either strictly eliminated or recommended by national celebrities, and they are excellent in themselves. Moreover, in Whampoa Military Academy, learning has always been based on practice. Therefore, students in Whampoa Military Academy generally study in school for a short time, and they will be assigned to combat troops and used in the actual operation of the troops to improve themselves, but in fact, they are in the army of China, no matter where they are. As long as you fight for justice and are not afraid of strong enemies, you can be regarded as a generation of famous soldiers!
Huangpu Military Academy has a short academic system, and students don't have much time at school. However, the talents trained by this school have had a far-reaching influence on China's politics and military affairs. From ancient times to the present, no other school has such a great influence except Huangpu Military Academy. No matter what war it was, as long as the name of Huangpu was mentioned, the whole army, both generals and ordinary soldiers, highly respected it at that time, forming a unique spiritual culture, which was later called "Huangpu Spirit". With this rich spiritual background, the Huangpu spirit has not been eliminated by the times, and it is still playing a role today, which has a very positive guiding role for the modern army.
