Holy Roman Empire

In contrast, the Russian Empire was different.Although the overall national strength has not increased much, it is bigger on the surface!

The front line of the Baltic Sea occupied Poland; the central part occupied Constantinople, the Black Sea directly became the inland sea of ​​the Russian Empire, and its tentacles once penetrated into the Mediterranean Sea; the southern line occupied most of Afghanistan, and the border line almost overthrew India.

The entire Russian Empire is fatter than the original time and space. If it weren't for the strong rise of Shinra, it is estimated that the entire European world would tremble under the gears of the steamroller.

Facing such an opponent, it is impossible for the Japanese government to say that it is not in a panic.If it weren't for the outbreak of the Russian embassy case, the Japanese government really couldn't make up its mind to fight the Russians.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality. With this fuse, coupled with the past conflicts between Japan and Russia, this war became inevitable.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the smell of gunpowder in Tokyo is too strong, which is clearly a precursor to the outbreak of war.

Although he did not go to the gate of the Russian embassy to protest again, the anti-Russian movement was in full swing, and even the international students could not escape.

"learn from mistakes".

After experiencing the previous lessons, the students of the Far Eastern Empire in Japan also know how powerful they are, and they are no longer enthusiastic about participating in anti-Russian activities.

But no matter how much he refused, he couldn't hold back the Japanese "friends" who persevered in wooing him.This makes many people who are used to the ways of the world very uncomfortable.

The strength of the Russians is well known to everyone, except for the Japanese themselves, almost no one is optimistic about them.

Even if the Japanese government presents itself as the light of Asia and the hope of Asia, it cannot change the inherent impression in everyone's mind.

Standing with the loser, the sequelae are very serious. It's fine to put yourself in it, and I'm afraid that even the family will lose it together.

Everyone has seen how strong Mao Xiong's desire for revenge is.

Not to mention the felons sentenced to death, they must have seen God; the most shocking thing for everyone is the thousands of people who were sentenced to exile in Siberia, and now their families have received bad news one after another.

If you don't participate, you really can't beat the favor.In a foreign country, if you want to survive, you can't do without the help of your friends.

Many people have received help from Japanese classmates during their study abroad career. Although it is only a small favor, the favor is still owed.

For young students, loyalty is greater than heaven.Often after being encouraged by others, the IQ will not be online.

If it wasn't for what happened before that stimulated everyone, it would probably be the same as in the original time and space, a group of foreign students were fooled into cannon fodder.

Now they are sober, but after refusing, everyone suddenly found themselves in an embarrassing situation.

Because of his excellent performance in the last incident, Li Bo'an has unknowingly become the backbone of the international students, and everyone likes to come and discuss things.

"Brother Bo'an, the situation is not good! Since we refused to participate in the anti-Russian movement, we have been isolated at school, and our Japanese friends around us have left us one by one.

Even our residence is often harassed by hooligans, and the police in Tokyo simply don't care.

If this continues, we may have to end our studies early and return to China..."

Li Bo'an has heard similar complaints more than once.Including himself, he was also excluded in school.It's just that he has a good mentality and can resist these pressures.

"Brother Liu, the purpose of the Japanese is very obvious. It is nothing more than the imminent Russo-Japanese War and they need their allies to share the pressure.

It is false to win us over. The real purpose is to use us to drag the imperial court into the water and participate in the war against Russia.

It's just that the Japanese don't know what the state of the imperial court is, so can we still not know?

If we really participated in it recklessly, once the Japanese were defeated, those of us who supported them would not be liquidated afterwards by Russia?

Once the Russians threaten with force, do you think they can bear the pressure with the style of the court?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not only be our own bad luck, but also the family behind us.Compared with this, our being wronged now is nothing at all.

If you really can't make it through, the worst thing is to leave Japan.Anyway, Nanyang University is about to enroll students. Even if we fail to pass the exam, we can choose to pay our own expenses. "

There is no doubt that these things are naturally not thought of by the international students themselves.We haven't experienced enough social beatings, and everyone's associations are not so rich.

Being able to make these ideas widely spread among foreign students is obviously someone who is fueling the flames.

The purpose is self-evident, Nanyang University is about to start, and needs more high-quality students, so it is natural to compete with the peers.

Anyway, there are no real colleges and universities in Japan these days, including the University of Tokyo, which is only a little bit of a pheasant university in the world, and the faculty is very average.

Most of the high-tech these days has been monopolized by Europe, and the entire Asian region is blank for important scientific research projects and technological innovations.

Although the Japanese are trying, it's just trying.Talent and infrastructure are not in place, and it will not happen overnight if you want to catch up with the world's advanced level.

This is also one of the reasons why Nanyang University can attract countless people to sign up as soon as it recruits students.Although it is also a pheasant university, everyone doesn't know it!

Chapter 100 Japan-Russia Severance of Diplomatic Relations

In the early 20th century, it was not easy to want to study abroad.The cost is high, but the most important thing is the language barrier.

The prerequisite for studying abroad is to learn a foreign language first, not only to meet oral communication, but also to meet the test-taking level.

Except for Japan's Pheasant University, which has open admissions, other universities have thresholds.Unless you pay a high sponsorship fee, you can only pass the entrance examination.

Specifically, whether it is a written test, an interview, or a recommendation for admission, there is no uniform standard.

Whether you can stand out, in addition to personal ability, what is more important is personal connections.

This is also the main reason for foreign students from the Far East to go to Japan. After all, there are books to study there; and if they go to study in other countries, they don’t know whether they can get admission qualifications.

Nanyang University’s enrollment is no exception. The entrance examination is limited to a few test centers in Austrian Nanyang, and it is impossible to send people to organize examinations throughout Asia.

The Ministry of Education stipulates that the examination syllabus must be based on middle school textbooks.With the same test questions, cramming overseas students obviously cannot compete with local students who have studied hard for more than ten years.

It seems that there are more than 1000 students enrolled in Asia, but in fact, most of the students who can stand out in the written test are from the Austrian Nanyang region.

Failure to pass the written test means that you are insulated from free education and can only pay for education.

Nanyang University was first established, and William, the principal, had no confidence, so the fees were still very fair.

Compared with the high tuition fees in China, which are more than 500 yuan, Nanyang University's lowest-fee majors only need [-] Aegis per year.

For foreign students with rich net worth, this is naturally not a problem.But for the vast majority of students with average wealth, this is a big problem.

Especially for the traditional family of farming and studying, it is an astronomical sum.Even if there are tens of thousands of mu of fertile land intensively cultivated, the annual income is only ten thousand taels of silver.

It seems to be enough, but the whole family counts on the income to eat, and at most they can support one or two foreign students.

Of course, the main reason is that there are only rumors about the abolition of the imperial examination, but it has not become a fact, and everyone's enthusiasm for studying abroad is not high.

After the imperial examination was cancelled, when everyone found that there was only one way to study abroad, it was the time when the students from the Far East were exported frantically.

"Bo'an, don't be joking. It's okay to just come to Japan. We have studied for several years, and we are about to finish our studies. Then we will go to Nanyang and start from scratch..."

Halfway through speaking, Liu Renxin realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.Those present were not only old international students, but also newcomers.

Maybe the speaker didn't mean it, but it sounds like he meant it!Even though the inconvenience broke out immediately due to face, the thorn in my heart was still buried.

If it's a stranger, it's fine, and if the misunderstanding is resolved, they can still be friends.On the contrary, between friends, once such a misunderstanding occurs, it is difficult to return to the past even if it is resolved.The world of adults has never been pure.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, a classmate who was usually close to Liu Renxin changed the subject and said: "Brother Liu, don't be pessimistic. We have learned very little in Japan for a few years. It is a good thing to have the opportunity to continue our studies.

As far as I know, many Japanese students are also starting to prepare for the exam, preparing to compete in Nanyang University.

Now that the situation in Tokyo is unclear, we should have made plans early. Even if we can't get the first class, we should at least get an admission qualification. "

This is a fact. At this moment, the Japanese yearning for the European world is the craziest.Qualified to study in Europe, absolutely no one will stay in the country to study.

Although Nanyang University is not a European university, there is a Prince Shinra as the principal, which is very attractive to everyone.

Among other things, after graduating from Nanyang University, it is much easier to go to Shinra for further study.

Japanese students are making preparations, and the impact on international students is undoubtedly huge.Even if someone tells them that Nanyang University is a pheasant university, no one will believe it.

The greater the attractiveness of Nanyang University, the greater the competition.At that time, not only will there be competition for entrance exams, but there will also be competition for places to study at your own expense.

After all, the school is a school, and it cannot be fully commercialized. Although the highest price can maximize the benefits, Principal William can't afford to lose face!

In this context, it is natural to continue the exam.However, in order to ensure the fairness of educational resources, the Ministry of Education of Shinra stipulates that self-funded students shall not exceed 5.00% of the total number of students.

Of course, international students are not within the scope of the quota limit.In principle, as long as the money can be paid and the school can accommodate it, the more the better.

Local universities do not have this kind of trouble. The high fees scare away 90.00% of international students. What really needs to be considered is Nanyang University.

The tuition fee of 500 Aegis stopped some people, but it was not enough to make people daunted, and there were still many people who met the conditions.

The first, second and third grades were born under this background. The lower the grade, the higher the tuition fee.

This is an embarrassing question. Among the international students, there are many top students, but there are also many bad students.Most of these people have one thing in common, that is-the imperial examination is hopeless.

The main purpose of sending them to study abroad is to become officials.Don't talk about saving the country or not, it's just the individual thoughts of the students, and it can't represent the big family behind them.

In a sense, it is not important to everyone whether the grades are not graded, and it is mainly for gold plating.

But after studying for a few years, I didn't get a diploma from a Japanese school, and I couldn't even get an admission qualification from Nanyang University, so I really couldn't explain it when I went home.

"Nanyang University is not far away from recruiting students. If we want to improve our grades in a short period of time, we can only raise funds to hire private tutors."

Seeing that no one answered, Li Boan took the initiative to pierce the paper on the window.Hugging Buddha's feet temporarily is better than not hugging at all.

It is estimated that there are not only one people who have similar thoughts, but usually everyone is used to boasting that they are the best, and I am embarrassed to admit that I am a scumbag.

Of course, it is a bit too much to say that "students" are too much, but it is true that most people do not learn much knowledge when studying in Japan.

After all, educational resources in Japan are also scarce these days, especially higher education resources, which are even more scarce.

The teachers in colleges and universities are mainly foreign students sent out. Most of the foreign students went to pheasant universities in Europe at the same time. After learning a little, they started teaching and educating people.

In many cases, it is to organize teachers to study first, and then go back to teach students.To be able to cultivate talents, the main reason is that everyone is willing to study.

At the University of Tokyo, teachers and students can often be seen working on a problem until late at night.

In contrast, Pheasant University is quite different.It is fooling people in itself. Many teachers have never been to college, and they read the textbooks as if they are in class.

Except for a few foreign students who can be admitted to regular universities and learn knowledge, most foreign students are just dawdling.

……

The turmoil caused by Nanyang University has just begun, and it will soon be suppressed by new hot spots.

On February 1904, 2, the Japanese government suddenly announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Russia, and the situation in the Far East suddenly became tense.

Everyone knew that the war was coming, but the tsarist government had fallen into a "fan of the authorities" at the moment. Nicholas II also vowed to assure the people that the Japanese government would not dare to do anything.

Well, in recent decades, the Japanese government has been very cowardly in the face of foreign powers.Whether it was the original black ship incident, or the Philippine War, or even the previous embassy case, as soon as the great powers intervened in the Japanese government, they would be discouraged.

But the problem is that when the Japanese government is intimidating, they all have a common feature: the opponent is too strong, and it is really impossible to win.

Obviously, things are different now.Although the Russian Empire is powerful, their power in the Far East is limited.

At least before the opening of the Siberian Railway, the power of the Russian Empire in the Far East was not an opponent of the Japanese.

Since it won the fight, why did the Japanese government persuade it?

Anyway, a war between Japan and Russia is inevitable, and it is better to start the war at this time than to wait for the Russians to prepare for the war.

Of course, the most important thing is that Britain and Shinra have officially broken.Backed by British allies, diplomatic pressure from Shinra can be offset.

……

In the Palace of Vienna, after receiving the news of the severance of diplomatic relations between Japan and Russia, Franz had to step out of his comfort zone and continue to perform his duties as a monarch.

Driven by the butterfly effect, the Russo-Japanese War has also undergone earth-shaking changes. At this moment, it is not only a battle between Japan and Russia, but also a game between Shinra and Britain.

It is true that Shinra wants to cheat the Russians, but the outside world doesn't know!In the eyes of many people, the Russia-Austria alliance is still strategically integrated.

The current Russo-Japanese War is not only a struggle for hegemony in the Far East, but also a game in the struggle for hegemony in the world between Britain and Shinra.

The actors are already in place, and now they are waiting for the sound of the gongs and drums to start the show. How could Franz, the host, be absent?

Theoretically speaking, it seems that it is not a big problem to hand it over to the son to host.But Franz is worried!

It's fine to make mistakes in normal times, but any mistakes in details at this time may lead to the failure of the subsequent layout.

It's nothing more than a failure in the layout. I'm afraid that I didn't trap the Russians, but exposed the plan in advance and pushed the Russians to the side of the British.

Although the Holy Roman Empire has become a major trend, it is not impossible to win with one against two, but the risk is high!

Winning steadily by strength is true happiness; winning by taking risks is gambling.For a big country, gambling is undoubtedly a big taboo.

When it comes to digging pits and burying people, Franz thinks he is better than his son, especially pitting Russians, who has rich experience.

Just look at the tsarist government. It has been tricked many times, but it has never happened, which is enough to explain the problem.

……

Franz: "Japan and Russia have broken off diplomatic relations, and it seems that war will break out in a few days, Frederick will start to act!

Before the news of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War spread, we must start the trade friction between us and the British and raise prices in advance. "

There is no way, the Russia-Austria alliance has an agreement that if a war breaks out on one side, the other side must provide support.

The most important one is that during the war, the price of strategic materials cannot be raised.To put it simply, what is the price of the first order, what is the price after that.

This time was different. The Tsarist government did not believe that the Japanese dared to do anything, and did not order strategic materials in advance at all.
