Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

"This is the dawn of the United Kingdom of Prussia and Japan."

Berlin newspapers praised this incident. August did not rely on cannons to conquer the entire Japan, but used his fraternity to win the hearts of the Japanese people. After all, more than [-]% of the Japanese people were in favor of the merger. This was already It's what public opinion wants.

The counter-revolutionary operation in Prussia has not ended yet. The Prussian police agency has really caught some people who smuggled into Prussia. Now the question is thrown to Tina, what will she do with these people?

After careful investigation, it was discovered that many of these people were Japanese ronin. Somehow they got on the Prussian merchant ships and followed them all the way to Prussia. They were not from the old shogunate, but they could not survive during the shogunate period. A person who has become a beggar.

And what they saw and heard during these few days of wandering can be said to be a ghost. Trains headed from East Prussia towards the country, and countless steamships sailed into the distance. They had never seen this battle in Japan.

They didn't speak German, and they were caught by the police station and barely managed to earn a living in prison. They would not starve to death outside. In the first place, the reason why the police station arrested them was because there were no beggars in Königsberg. Some beggars can apply for a citizenship certificate and then get a loan. They can get a loan of at least ten euros and at least find a place to stay.

How could these Japanese wanderers know this kind of thing? Everyone looked at them strangely when they were wandering outside. I'm afraid these few people are not idle.

There were only a dozen who smuggled over, but they were separated later. Five were caught in Königsberg, and the remaining few went to Danzig and Posen. They were caught in less than a week, but it was obvious that Prussia None of them could speak Japanese, so if they caught a few of them, they would only be in charge of the food. Tina had nothing to do with these stowaways. The most she could do was send them back.

But it can’t be considered a crime of smuggling, because the two countries have merged, but it doesn’t matter, there are so many laws, there is always one that suits you. In the end, Tina just gave them a random crime and sent them back. Of course, Tina couldn’t To let these people come here in vain, they still have to see the world. Tina intentionally or unintentionally asked people to take them to Berlin, the most prosperous city in Prussia, to see the steel forest of the Rhineland, and even let a few The police took them to the Six O'Clock Tavern.

These Japanese people were dragged around by the police, basically visiting the most advanced areas of Prussia, and then sent back to Japan.

And these wanderers who visited Prussia became stars in the whole of Japan. They boasted about what they saw and heard to the people around them. They saw the tireless steel beasts, the huge spire castle, Luxurious palace.

A few people who could write wrote this legendary journey into a biography. Because they could not understand German, they could only guess what the Prussians were talking about, based on what they heard and the humanities about Prussia taught in private schools. Geography, this story was compiled into the Japanese "From Königsberg to Cologne".

It tells about the experiences of more than a dozen Japanese people in the West, as first-hand information for Japanese people to understand Prussia.

The Japanese were not familiar with their suzerain country before, and the description in this book is very different from the real Prussia. After all, this kind of biography must be indispensable for the person involved to boast and exaggerate.

But at least it can give Japanese people a general understanding of the Western world. After Japan merged with Prussia, Japanese people can go directly to Prussia. As long as you can mix there, those Japanese people who have learned Dutch It has a natural advantage in learning German. Most of the Europa languages ​​have very high similarities in grammar, and the Latin alphabet is mostly used in Central and Western Europe, just like the dialects in various places, so it is not very difficult to learn. High, those Japanese businessmen who had learned some German began to pool their money to buy sailing ships and followed the Prussian merchant ships to Prussia.

Japan's shipbuilding industry inexplicably began to flourish. Almost all Japanese people wanted to see Prussia with their own eyes. In addition, the invasion of foreign capital from Prussia spread Prussian culture to Japan.

Everything was as August expected. August stayed in Japan until October before returning. During these few months, August established five vocational schools in Tokyo and Kyoto. He also banned private schools and gathered these teachers to start modern Prussian-style ideological and scientific education.

As for history, August pointed Japan's biggest enemies at the emperor and the shogunate. He used this educational and ideological method to make young people oppose and even be hostile to the political system that Japan had followed for thousands of years, and combined the differences between Japan and Prussia. The merger was called the fusion of two great peoples.

The effect is indeed very good. The hero in the eyes of some Japanese children has changed from Oda Nobunaga to Blücher, and the most outstanding reformer has changed from Emperor Kotoku to Frederick the Great. They are forgetting their heroes and turning to The former heroes of Prussia are regarded as heroes of Japan.

This approach is undoubtedly destroying a nation and spiritually destroying a country. However, August does not want to completely destroy the Japanese myths and history, but he will slightly change the Japanese myths and change some of the violations. Ethical and moral things were changed to be more in line with the mythical image of Prussian aesthetics, and then they were shown to children.

Most of the cases involving incest marriages among the gods were revised. The reason was that Augustus didn't like it, and a large number of bad habits in Japan due to matters between men and women were unacceptable to Auguste. All had to be revised, and borrowed The correct values ​​are instilled in Japanese people through myths.

Men should be strong and courageous, unyielding, have a fighting spirit and a spirit of enterprise, dare to challenge all the injustices of the old world, have arms like mountains, and be able to stand upright.

Women should be gentle and kind, honest and caring, have an independent sense of themselves, and be able to realize that they are also part of society and shoulder their due responsibilities, rather than being a appendage of men.

For Japan, the feudal ideology that has been spread for more than a thousand years cannot be solved in one go. This is a protracted war, and August has no idea of ​​​​solving it all in one go. He wants to take advantage of this subtle relationship. Contact has turned Japanese people into spiritual Germans, so that Japan will no longer be able to fight for independence.

At this time, not only advanced ideas but also new forms of entertainment came from Prussia, such as novels and newspapers.

Newspapers generally write about current affairs, and occasionally publish some short stories. If you really want to fully understand a complete and coherent story, it must be a novel, and August's Adolf trilogy series also took the opportunity to flow into Japan. .

Naturally, newspapers that publish novels in Japanese do not know much about them, so errors often occur during translation. In order to prevent this situation, the editor of the newspaper specially invited many Japanese scholars to translate the Adolf trilogy.

These three books are sold as a complete set, and are defined as youth-oriented. They are not recommended for immature children. Prussian novels still have a certain appeal to Japanese people. After all, they are their own bosses now. .

Excellent localization has made the Adolf trilogy famous in Japan, and it is a popular reading among teenagers. Finally, they have entertainment novels in addition to traditional readings such as Japanese Shoki, Manyoshu, and Fudoki.

Adolf's trilogy contains more of the impact of crazy politics, and defines war as a gamble with great risks. If you win, you can conquer a land, but if you lose, you will face serious consequences. There is only destruction.

But after all, it was a reprint and it was released in July, so the newspaper did not build enough momentum for it and ignored the lack of purchasing power of the Japanese people, so the sales volume did not meet expectations.

But by October, when August was about to leave, the lives of most Japanese people had returned to normal. The country still had more than [-]% of its own farmers, and the remaining [-]% had been captured by capitalists. factory.

Now this group of capitalists are not short of money at all. They just want to make more money and then carry out crazy business activities within the EU. They employ a large number of workers in Japan. Even the Prussian government hired [-] Japanese people to repair the Congress. Building, Prussian local manpower is really not enough.

By October, they all received their wages. The minimum wage and maximum working hours established by August ensured the basic rights of the Japanese. Although the wages were not as high as those of the Prussians, they were not bad. At least they could afford to buy a house. book.
