Holy Roman Empire

For the "Nanyang University" that is under construction, as long as it is well-known, it is half completed.As for the quality of education, it can be made up for later.

To put it bluntly, going to college takes years.It is completely possible to start classes while supplementing teachers.

As long as the quality of the final graduates is qualified, who dares to say that Nanyang University will fail?

William asked uncertainly: "You mean that the quality of teaching is not enough, and the quality of students should be used to make up for it. The question is, can this work?"

Although Rodriguez didn't say it directly, he mentioned "there is no shortage of students" twice, which is obviously the best hint.

"Your Highness, good schools can also produce bad students, and bad schools can also produce good students.

In the context of the same teaching resources, such differentiation is obviously the problem of the students themselves.

The textbooks and management models we use can be completely copied from domestic universities.

As long as the quality of the students we recruit is good enough and willing to study in depth, even if the faculty is lacking, it doesn't matter. "

Deception, maybe it exists!After all, the poor quality of teaching does affect students' learning.

But in these years, it is not easy to have an opportunity for higher education.One more university means hundreds or thousands of opportunities.

Big waves wash the sand, among so many students, gold can always be found.It is not necessary to have talents from the sky, as long as some people can reach the domestic average level, or even slightly worse, they are considered successful.

After contemplating for a while, William nodded: "Then put up the shelf first, I will communicate with the Ministry of Education to select a school site, and I will leave it to you to recruit teachers and follow-up publicity.

If the Ministry of Education can't send someone who is worthy to be the principal, I will do it myself.In order to ensure that the first enrollment can be completed smoothly, momentum must be built. "

Honesty is never worth mentioning in front of politics.William also worked hard for his political achievements, and even prepared himself to be the principal.

……

Tokyo, with the arrival of representatives of the tsarist government, the case of the Russian embassy has entered a new stage again.

Under the strong suppression of the Japanese government, Tokyo finally returned to normal.Against the backdrop of the organizers being imprisoned one after another, the protests and demonstrations of the people in Tokyo also came to an end.

……

In the Holy Roman Empire embassy in Tokyo, Minister Jose put down the coffee in his hand and asked cautiously: "Liu, are you sure that you can help the empire expand its trade share in the Far East by releasing a few students?"

With the passage of time, more and more Chinese overseas students were affected by Chiyu.Wang Decheng, the earliest unlucky guy, is finally no longer alone.

The more people involved, the greater the power behind the activities.Chairman Liu, who was originally only planning to play the role of a bridge, was finally persuaded and became this lobbyist.

With his understanding of the Holy Roman Empire, Chairman Liu made it clear that it was meaningless to say whether the arrested students were wronged or not.

If you want to ask someone for help, the best way is to benefit.Giving gifts directly is too outdated. With Shinra's bureaucratic ethics, gifts from strangers are always eaten and wiped clean.

It takes a lot of time to operate secretly, and it also takes the risk of exposure.

Neither the Zhonghua Guild nor Chairman Liu himself could take such a risk, even if the favor behind it was very sweet.

Giving gifts is not enough, then give political achievements.This thing, all bureaucrats, big and small, like it.

Anyway, these things are contributed by the family behind the foreign students, he just needs to be a favor.

The fact is the same. When he heard that the trade share could be expanded, Minister Jose immediately became interested.

It's nothing more than releasing a few unlucky people, it's not a big deal at all.Not to mention not being a murderer, even if it is a real murderer, as long as the interests are large enough, there is still room for negotiation.

"His Excellency, the parents of these overseas students are all officials of the Far Eastern Empire government, and the families behind them are very influential in the Far Eastern Empire.

If you can get them out now, you will be their savior.We Chinese pay attention to knowing kindness and repaying, and you can reap the friendship of them and the family behind them at the same time.

It is difficult to expand your country's market share in the Far East, but it is not a problem at all to expand the market share of the foreign firms you have designated in the Far East.

It is said that due to the tense relations between Japan and Russia, the Far East Empire has recently made another one-million-dollar military purchase order, and the buyer has not yet been confirmed, look..."

Before President Liu finished speaking, Minister Jose's serious face burst into a smile: "If this order can fall into the hands of the empire, I don't think it will be a problem."

There is no way, there are three, six or nine grades for ministers.As the minister in Japan, Jose obviously has no way to compare with the ministers in Britain and Russia.

If it's just that, it's fine, but Japan is too poor, and there is no chance to make political achievements.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the Russian embassy case, he would still be the Shinra minister who has no sense of existence, and he would have no chance to perform at all.

Jose never imagined that there would be a day when he would be favored.First, the Russian embassy case broke out, and he had the opportunity to make political achievements, and now another large military purchase order came to his door.

Regardless of the fact that the amount of one million taels of silver is not large, it cannot withstand the huge profits of the arms trade.This order has a profit of at least 10 taels of silver. If the follow-up ammunition purchase is included, this profit will even exceed the current purchase contract.

If you win this order and turn it back to the military, you will not only gain a political achievement, but also gain the favor of the military.

For Minister Jose, who is aspiring to official career, this has extraordinary significance.Even President Liu, who was watching this unexpected visitor, was much more pleasing to the eye.

President Liu also heaved a sigh of relief when he got the exact answer.Immediately promised: "Your Excellency, Minister, please rest assured. We will try our best to facilitate this transaction, but it will take some time to operate. Can you get the person out first?"

Don't worry, the trial meeting hosted by the International Court of Justice has already started, and if you don't make any money, you will meet in court.

Minister Jose smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I can still speak in the international court.

As a group of ignorant students, their participation in the parade was completely coerced, and had nothing to do with the Russian embassy case.

Release it in advance now, but it will easily arouse suspicion from the outside world.It is better to wait and let the international court prove their innocence. "

It's really not bragging. As Minister Shinra, Jose does have the ability to influence the judgment of the International Court of Justice.

Just look at the composition of the International Court of Justice, most of whom are from continental Europe.Maybe let them go to trial against principle, and maybe someone else will refuse.But if you let go of a few shrimps that are not even considered small fish, then it is not a problem.

Seeing this guy in front of him who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, President Liu hesitated to speak.

Chapter 98 Fair Judgment

The wheel of history rolls forward, not changed by individual will.The black hand behind the scenes has never shown up, and the Japanese government can only swallow the bitter fruit by itself.

In a sense, the end result is the same whether there is a man behind the scenes or not.In short, the escalation of the conflict between Japan and Russia is inevitable.

If no war broke out, it means that Japan and Russia are not ready for war.Now the governments of the two countries are delaying the time tacitly. Whoever completes the preparations for war first will do it first.

Perhaps it was to reduce the pressure on the Japanese government, or perhaps it was a pure coincidence. After Christmas in 1903, the London government issued an announcement announcing that it would withdraw from the free trade system.

Not surprisingly, the secret negotiations between Shinra and Britannia ended in failure last week.

Even if Franz proposed that the two countries form an alliance again and jointly rule the world hegemony, they were rejected by the British.

It’s true to think about it. If we really continue to maintain the free trade system and jointly rule the world hegemony with Shinra, it is estimated that in less than ten years, Britain will go home to collect clothes.

As a vested interest, the British will not be reconciled if they don't give it a go, let alone they have the Royal Navy.

Although the advantage of the Royal Navy is no longer obvious, the advantage is always an advantage.

With the collapse of the free trade system, the hegemony struggle between Shinra and Britain is no longer possible to ease.

While paying close attention to the situation in the Far East, Franz also began to prepare for the next battle for hegemony.

Frankly speaking, Franz did not want to fight for hegemony, but the reality is cruel. Since the British refused to compromise, the chariots of the Holy Roman Empire started.

As the driver of the chariot, Franz can step on the brakes, but there is no way to prevent the chariot from never moving forward.

"Frederick sent a note to all countries to hold the World Free Trade Economic Summit in Vienna next month, encouraging all countries to sanction the British.

When necessary, the export price of monopoly export products to the UK can be driven up, so that the British market will be out of stock in the short term, and the economic crisis will be detonated in advance.

Notify the relevant companies in advance so that they are ready to reduce production and minimize our losses.For enterprises that have suffered heavy losses, the government will give corresponding subsidies as appropriate. "

Monopoly products are self-evident, except for food, it is petrochemical products.As for mechanical equipment, although the performance of the products produced by the British is not good, they can still be manufactured after all.

Even if it is food and petrochemical products, Shinra's monopoly is not complete, and the British can still find a substitute as long as they have time.

It's a pity that what the British lack is precisely time.Before Congress passed it, even if the British government wanted to reserve relevant materials in advance, it did not have that power.

The government did not reserve in advance, and private enterprises were also unprepared.According to British practice, it is possible for a policy to be linked to decades, and no one would have expected the results to come out so soon.

Unlike Shinra's economic system, the government can intervene in the market at any time, but the London government has no right to dictate to domestic companies, let alone order everyone to reserve raw materials in advance.

Once the price of raw materials in the international market rises, relevant enterprises will inevitably be affected, and downstream consumption will also be greatly affected.

Imposing trade barriers was not what Franz wanted.This is a style of play that hurts both sides. Although the British are uncomfortable with Shinra, they will also suffer heavy losses.

Whether to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, or to kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand, no one can give an answer before this happens.

The only certainty is that a new round of economic crisis will break out with the collapse of the free trade system, and all export-oriented enterprises will be hit hard.

In a sense, the outbreak of the economic crisis is the countdown to war.With the two world wars in the original time and space as a template, Franz sees farther than ordinary people.

It is not impossible to delay the outbreak of the war, but Franz can't wait.

Seeing that I have reached the age of 74, my physical and mental qualities have been greatly reduced. If I don't start a war, I guess I will not be able to lead the war.

After the British are dealt with, there are still a lot of things to do in the country.A large part of the affairs can only be handled by Franz himself.

In order to draw a successful conclusion to his imperial career, Franz must reserve enough time to complete all this before his energy is still able to support him.

The detonation of the economic crisis is the beginning of the war, but the first confrontation is the economy, not the army.

Frederick persuaded: "Father, is it too fast? The country is not ready yet. If the economic crisis is detonated now, we will also suffer heavy losses."

As the regent crown prince, Frederick has long been aware of the economic situation in Shinra.

Since the news of Britain's withdrawal from the free trade system came out, far-sighted companies in the country are preparing to store grain for the winter.

It's not that everyone's ideological awareness is high, it's mainly because state-owned enterprises and royal consortiums have made a good start, and many other capitalists are passively following suit.

Specifically, in 1903, major domestic companies in Shinra all suspended production capacity expansion, reduced goods inventory, and increased cash flow reserves.

It's just that these are not enough. In just one year, even if everyone has prepared, there is still no guarantee that they can survive the next cold winter.

Britain is not the only country that has suffered from the free trade system for a long time. With the British taking the lead, there are definitely not a few followers behind.

It is far easier to destroy than to build.The reality is very clear that there is no hope of re-establishing the free trade system until Britain has been defeated.

The duration of this market winter will start at least a few years, and may even last for more than ten years.

Franz shook his head: "I can't wait any longer. If we don't lose to the British, how dare the Russians fight the Japanese to the bottom?

The Siberian Railway has not yet opened to traffic, and Russia's military power in the Far East is no match for the Japanese at all.

Regardless of the tsarist government's launch of the eastward strategy, the interests of the Far East are still dispensable to the Russian Empire.

Once the front line encounters a failure, who can guarantee that the Russians will not cut their flesh and stop losses, and give up the Far East directly?

If the tsarist government continued to move south after abandoning the Far East, it would be fine. I was afraid that the Russians would shrink back and sit back and watch our game with the British.

If you don't pull out this nail in advance, are you assured of a decisive battle with the British? "

"Trust" is a blemish. Even though the Russia-Austria alliance lasted for decades, Franz still couldn't trust the Russians.

There is no betrayal, it's just that the chips for betrayal are not enough.For his own safety, it's better to let Mao Xiong get sick first.

……

Politics has always affected the whole body.With the collapse of the free trade system, Britain and Shinra have officially moved towards confrontation.

Affected by this, the mission investigating the case of the Russian embassy also split, making the situation in the Far East even more confusing.

However, this is something that big shots need to consider, and it is still far from the lives of ordinary people.It was the people of Tokyo who really felt the "body", and the situation became more and more tense.

Not to mention a parade in the street, even a gathering of relatives and friends will attract the patronage of the military and police, making everyone chat carefully.

There is no way, the trial of the International Court of Justice has already begun, and the Japanese government really does not want to cause further complications.

No matter how popular the people are, in the eyes of the Japanese government, those who stormed the Russian embassy are thugs.

No ruler likes unruly people.Even if the starting point is good, the result is tragic!

Don't kill one to warn others, but to deter those who come after, who knows if similar scenes will continue to be staged in the future?

If you follow the radicals, you can destroy the Russian embassy today, the Shinra embassy tomorrow, and the British embassy the day after tomorrow...

Tossing all the way to death, I don't know when, the foundation of Japan will be buried in it.

……

Since the split of the mission group, Lorelei, the presiding judge from Switzerland, has experienced a sudden increase in pressure.

On the one hand, he had to maintain the sanctity of the judiciary, and on the other hand, he had to be instructed by the ministers, which made him miserable.

The biggest problem in this international trial is that there is no uniform sentencing standard, and there is no international precedent to follow.

Russia and Austria demand strict handling, while Britain and Japan hope to be lenient.Of course, this controversy is limited to ordinary people involved in the case, and important criminals still have to click.

"Kazuo Tanaka, the founder and president of the Jagged Vengeance Association, has planned anti-Russian demonstrations and assassinations many times, and is one of the main planners of the Russian embassy case..."

Before the representatives of the investigation team could complete their complaints, Kazuo Tanaka roared: "I object, I planned the Russian embassy case by myself, how could I be one of the planners?

What are you guys trying to do, play with Zhu Lian Jiu Clan?Where is the justice of the world, where is the law..."

The scene in front of them directly stunned many people, especially Kazuo Tanaka's defense lawyer, who was in a state of bewilderment.
