In the past few days, Wang Maoru did not attend any banquets or discuss any political directions with the party. Instead, he prepared books and materials to start his teaching career.

Today, he was discussing about teaching with President Cai Yuanpei, President Cai and Director of Academic Affairs Wu Jingheng. Wang Maoru's courses are arranged at 1:00 pm every Wednesday, one major class a week, from one to four, and rest time is at will. Wang Maoru is a special lecturer, and international relations is an elective course at Peking University and is not a compulsory course, which also avoids Wang Maoru's busy preparations before he prepares lessons.

Wang Maoru was very satisfied with this and asked about his registration for this class. Cai Yuanpei’s Peking University has an interesting regulation. Students’ elective courses are determined based on the number of applicants. If a teacher has only a few students in his lectures, then it is very likely that the teacher will be sent abroad to study. Principal Cai still vigorously protects the teacher, which is why he has always been the president of Peking University. Students love it and teachers love it. Of course, the only thing that is not popular is the government.

Peking University students love to participate in politics because Peking University is a school known for its liberal arts and has concentrated some scholars and experts with extremely high literary attainments in the country. It can be called the number one in literature in China, echoing the number one in science and engineering at Nankai University in Tianjin. Liberal arts students are passionate, impulsive, and some people who take the family, country and the world as their responsibility. They are not as rational as science students, but they are passionate enough and love to interfere in politics.

Although Wang Maoru's general subject in international relations is an elective course, as soon as it was opened, the number of applicants accounted for almost 99.9% of the 2,000 students at Peking University. So when Wang Maoru asked Cai Yuanpei about his registration situation, Cai Yuanpei said helplessly: "Because there are too many applicants, the school is being selected."

Wang Maoru asked in surprise: "Select?"

"Yes, the classroom arranged by the school is a large auditorium, but the auditorium can only accommodate 800 people. Almost all students in the school have signed up for your courses. If you give lectures, I'm afraid other teachers who start classes at the same time will have no classes to attend." Principal Cai said.

Wang Maoru smiled bitterly and said, "Sincere."

Principal Cai said: "But in this way, your bonus will be more."

Wang Maoru stopped nodding as if he was obsessed with money, and then laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

"Just... Xiusheng, you will run for the president next year. I'm afraid this course..." Principal Cai hesitated.

Wang Maoru said: "Yes, I will try my best, otherwise you will fire me."

Principal Cai shook his head and said, "The school has been announced. If it is revoked rashly, it will be bad."

"You are right, I try not to lack a class." Wang Maoru smiled, "When will the next class be?"

Principal Cai said: "These two months are the end of the semester. Your course is an elective but not an exam. Let the students evaluate whether they want to continue listening to your class."

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "So I have to try the dishes too."

Principal Cai also burst into laughter.

After the arrangement was made, the next day was Wednesday. Wang Maoru refused to invite himself to prepare lessons and organize materials that night. He specially made a huge international map. After careful preparation, he went to Peking University after lunch the next day to prepare for lectures in the Xinsheng Auditorium. However, as soon as he walked into the auditorium, he was frightened.

There were all people, and in the hall, the corridor, window, the auditorium, which can accommodate 800 people, was there more than 2,000 people. Could it be that all the teachers and students of Peking University came? Yes, he not only saw the students, but the teachers, Principal Cai, Professor Lu, Professor Gu Hongming, Professor Li, Professor Zhou... In the two-meter-wide gap between the first row of the auditorium and the podium, more than 200 students sat on the ground together. There were people everywhere here. In the originally cold winter, because the auditorium was filled with people, the air seemed dirty and hot. After a while, I felt dizzy.

Even if you are dizzy, you haven't seen a few reporters outside pretending that the students want to sneak in. They have been driven away by the sharp-eyed Peking University students. Students from other schools. No matter whether you are a handsome guy or a student in Fengyun, you just can't get in. A few students from Yanjing University were so angry that they secretly connected the current of the speaker and installed another speaker in a classroom. If you can't see people, you can hear the sound. This is better than nothing. Soon, the classroom was also crowded with people, originally only more than 2,000 people

At this time, more than 6,000 people suddenly flooded in Peking University, all to witness the first class after the resignation of the military position of the Grand Marshal Wang Maoru. But the school auditorium is so small, what should I do? The students of Yanjing University suddenly became clear, so the class at Peking University was eavesdropped on. Some Peking University students were still "colluding" with outsiders. Since it was the first class, the Provost Wu Jingheng smiled bitterly and said that the students were seeking knowledge and could not bear to drive them away. Forget the first class, it was not like this in the future.

Wang Maoru asked someone to open the door, let the cold wind blow in, fresh air flow into it, and everyone is more awake. This was Wang Maoru's first class, the first class twelve years later. He was still a little nervous and nervous, afraid that he would make the mistake, so he took a deep breath and walked to the podium.

In front of the podium is a microphone. The microphone is also called a microphone. It was invented in 1877. It amplifies the sound through electromagnetic vibration, which solves the problem of speech in the square well. Peking University auditorium has eight speakers, fixed in various positions, so everyone in the auditorium can hear the speech of the people on the podium clearly. However, Wang Maoru didn't know that smart-minded students had long stole the current. In addition to the eight speakers in the auditorium, eighteen speakers were added to the classroom outside.

Wang Maoru wore a black suit, white shirt, red tie, and a top hat. He looked like a bachelor who had traveled abroad. His scholar and bookish atmosphere made people unrecognizable to him that this person was a soldier who unified China and ordered the massacre of 13,000 people who privately reselled medicines to foreign merchants.

Wang Maoru first smiled at everyone, then lowered his head and looked at his teaching draft, saying, "I can't name my class. You can come and go, because this class does not require an exam. I am not here to test you. I am here to share some of my insights on international relations with you. Maybe you have not been abroad, maybe you have not read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, so as an elder, I will pass on my experience to you. You can question me after class homework, maybe I will answer, maybe I won't. Okay, today we are going to start the first class. I think everyone must be very interested in what is international relations, why do I teach international relations, and why do you want to learn international relations."

"yes."

Wang Maoru continued: "In the simplest way of international relations, the interaction between countries is the interaction between countries, and a thorough understanding of why some countries are like mortal enemies, some countries are intertwined with love and hate, and some countries are intimate. Since humans entered the civilized world, the concept of state has emerged. The relationship between countries also determines the process of world history. Taking the European War ten years ago as an example, why did the European war fight and why did such a large war occur in Europe? From a near perspective, what is the relationship between China and other countries, and how will we treat these countries in the future? Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese military strategist, once told some truths in Sun Tzu's Art of War, such as far-reaching and near attack. But in the future, is the strategy of far-reaching and near attack necessarily feasible? This needs to be analyzed from the international relations study."

"Why should I teach international relations?" Wang Maoru smiled, "Twelve years ago, my purpose was to impart what I knew in Europe to people who were still closed, especially young students, because young people are the future of the country and the hope of the country. If young people only see the immediate interests and cannot see our whole enemy, then countless patriotic traitors will appear in society. What is patriotic traitors? That is, they think that everything they do is for the motherland, but in fact they are doing traitors. For example, is a civil war patriotism or a traitor?

All civil wars are doing treason in the name of patriotism, so I want to teach young people what patriotism is, how to patriotism, why should patriotism be, and how to teach patriotism to young people. Therefore, teaching this subject is actually me who also tells you my worldview, and while you listen to my class, you also need to think about it yourself. You are all the backbone of the nation, not puppets and reckless men who follow the crowd. You are all independent thinking people, so I hope to help you open a window and go out by yourself and see what the world looks like.”

Wang Maoru said as he walked back to pull the opening curtain. One of his guards Qiu Hailong dripped a giant world map high. Then Wang Maoru used a super long teaching stick, holding a microphone, pointed at China's huge territory and said, "This is China."

"Wow!" Many students looked surprised that such a large world map occupied the background of the entire auditorium rostrum, and the land of China on the background was 14.86 million square kilometers.

Wang Maoru said: "This is China, this is our territory. It is now 14.86 million square kilometers. There are still several countries in the world that have a large land area of ​​China? Students, are you proud?"

"pride!"

"What do you think she looks like?" Wang Maoru suddenly asked.

The students were stunned at first, and then they started to discuss, then raised their hands one by one, and Wang Maoru asked them to answer one by one.

"Like a maple leaf."

"Like a rooster."

“Like leather shoes.”
