Chapter 632

The old man in luxurious clothes seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance. He smiled and said slowly, "They were caught in the demonstration. It's impossible to get them out directly.

There is a price to pay for doing something wrong. No matter what the reason was, participating in the demonstration was equivalent to going against the diplomatic corps, and punishment was inevitable.

However, not everyone needed to be beheaded. Except for the organizer of the demonstration and the people involved, the other participants are all accomplices. They don't deserve to die.

There are many people involved this time. The international community is paying close attention. The diplomatic corps will set up an international court to try them.

Until the end of the trial, we can only make things easier for them in there. What we can control is the place where they will be sentenced after the trial.

The victims of the embassy case are Russians. They will probably be sentenced in the Far East or Siberia. They are all cold and snowy places. Basically, they won't be able to return.

What we can do is to choose a good place for them. When the limelight is over, we will find a way to get them out. "

Hearing this answer, everyone was stunned. Getting people out before the trial and getting people out after the trial were two completely different concepts.

The former could be treated as if nothing had happened. After getting out, they could keep a low profile for a while. The latter would be an eternal political stain.

In the Empire of the Far East, a country that was afraid of foreign countries, the government would not dare to appoint a hothead who followed the Japanese and went against the great powers. No matter how strong the individual was, his political future was bleak.

A young man in blue said with a trembling voice, "President Liu, can you think of another way? Once he is tried by the international court, Decheng's future will be ruined! "

There was no other way. As brothers of the same clan, the two participated in the demonstration together. Now that he was fine, but his cousin was in jail, Wang Deran had no way to explain it to his family.

People might even suspect that he had ulterior motives and deliberately harmed his cousin to seize the family's political resources.

While speaking, Wang Deran had already knelt down. He had never lowered his head to beg others since he was a child. But now he had no other way.

This kneeling was not only for his cousin's political future, but also for his own political future.

A man's knees were gold, but it couldn't stop the spirit of a scholar. Seeing that Wang Deran had knelt down, a few of his friends also knelt down.

The rest of the people saw that there was no other way, so they could only bear with their reluctance and follow.

This time, it was the old man who couldn't sit still. Although in China, it was traditional etiquette for the elders to accept the worship of the younger generation, but this was Japan.

Influenced by European ideas, the new generation of young people was extremely resistant to the etiquette of kneeling.

President Liu's purpose of receiving them was to make political investments and make friends, not to start a feud.

While using both hands to pull up the person closest to him, he pretended to be terrified and said, "Everyone, please get up!"

Seeing that no one was getting up, Guild Master Liu's expression instantly changed. "You're making me look bad!"

After saying that, he also made a posture to bow. After saying that, he also made a posture. to bow..

The etiquette and rules of the Confucian school had long been deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts, and no one had forgotten who they were.

It was only right for juniors to bow down to their elders. If their elders bowed down to their juniors, they wouldn't be able to go back.

After a round of compliments, everyone returned to their seats. President Liu helplessly said, "Everyone, it's not that this old man doesn't want to help, but I don't have the strength.

President Liu said helplessly, "Everyone, it's not that this old man doesn't want to help, but I really don't have the strength.

"Everyone, it's not that this old man doesn't want to help, but I don't have the strength.

You may not know, but the Government of Japan's Police Minister, Tokyo's Police Chief, and the person in charge of security in the embassy district have committed suicide in their own homes.

In order to reduce their own responsibility, the Government of Japan is about to go crazy. At this time, no matter who it is, it won't be good.

If you want to fish someone out, you can only get a diplomatic mission. Although we have some friendship with the embassies of various countries, it's not to the point where we can invite them. "

It's not that we can't invite them, but it's not worth it. If the power behind these people is stronger, or if the families behind them are willing to pay, it's not impossible to discuss.

It wasn't as if all the ministers had to come forward at the same time. Only one or two of them had to speak up, and that would be enough.

To achieve this, it could be said to be difficult, but it could also be said to be simple. The most direct and effective way is to throw money. Among the dozens of ambassadors in the diplomatic mission, there will always be some who are greedy.

For these people's attributes and preferences, the Chinese Guild Hall has long been clear about them, and the gift channels are ready-made.

They didn't use the method of throwing money, and most importantly, Wang DeCheng wasn't the only one who was affected.

Recently, Chairman Liu had already encountered more than ten such cases. Many people were dragged into this undeserved disaster, and in comparison, Wang DeCheng deserved it.

The Japanese are protesting the diplomatic mission's violation of sovereignty, and you, an unrelated person, went to join in the fun? Since you dared to participate in the protest, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

If they can fish out the one who courted death, then the others who were wrongly accused naturally can't be left behind!

As a non-governmental organization, the Chinese Guild Hall was able to establish a foothold in Japan, relying on the support of many Chinese people, and relying on justice to help solve problems at critical moments.

The difficulty of fishing one person out was completely different from fishing a group of people out.

If they really do that, it's estimated that the connections accumulated by the Chinese Guild Hall over the years will be used up in one go.

Not to mention, this is just the beginning. With the continuation of the Russian Embassy's investigation, who knows how many more people will be affected in the future.

If they use up all their connections now, there will be nothing left to play with in the future. Purely relying on throwing money, the Chinese Guild Hall is not that rich.

To be able to become the vice president of the Chinese Guild Hall, responsible for the daily work, and widely recognized by the Chinese community, President Liu is naturally not an ordinary person.

Helping is fine, but it must be done according to one's ability. Influential people needed to be taken care of, but ordinary people couldn't be ignored. The former can bring benefits, and the latter can bring fame.

It's precisely because of this that President Liu, who doesn't have a prominent background and wealth, can become the leader of the Chinese community in Japan.

As for the president, he has always been in Southeast Asia, and rarely comes to Japan, so he doesn't care at all.

His biggest contribution is to let the Guild Hall establish contact with the embassies of various countries, and withstand the pressure from the Government of Japan.

After a moment of silence, Li Boan said: "President Liu, can you introduce us to Ambassador Jose?"

Obviously, he has already seen through President Liu's intention. This is the tradition of the Chinese, to speak only 30%. As for the remaining 70%, those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand don't need to understand.

In comparison, President Liu is already very kind. Afraid that the young people won't understand, he gave a clear suggestion: "Find a member of the Ambassadors."

Even though the Chinese Guild Hall plays the role of a smooth talker, there is only one real backer.

Now, it's the same if they want to fish people out. It seems that the ambassadors of various countries have a say, but there are only a few with real power.

If they want to use their connections to send gifts, then they must find the right person. Even if a small country's ambassador is willing to help, it may not be of much use.

Talking to smart people is easy, and it's easy to understand. Deep in his heart, President Liu has already given everyone a score.

Political investment also needs to be selective, and not everyone is worth investing in in advance. Most people only need a nod of acquaintance, and a few favors is enough.

The ones who really need to make friends with will always be the ones with real ability. Only these smart people can climb higher and go further in the officialdom.

"Referral is not a big problem, but you must be prepared first. Perhaps you have heard that the Holy Roman Empire is very strict in governing officials.

Giving money directly will not only be useless, but it may also offend people.

For you, this is also an opportunity. If you can take the opportunity to establish a relationship with Shinra, it will also be very helpful for your future career. "

This is definitely the truth. If it wasn't for Li Boan's quick reaction, letting President Liu see the potential, he would never have mentioned so much.

At the beginning of the 20th century, East Asia was still the battlefield of the great powers. Even the closed Empire of the Far East couldn't resist the torrent of the times.

Today, if you want to do well in the officialdom, building a good relationship with the great powers is a compulsory course.

Being a great power is also different. Relatively speaking, it's easier to be scolded by aggressive countries like Japan and Russia. On the contrary, it's safer to be friends with Shinra, which doesn't expand in East Asia.

The Chinese are not fools, and everyone can see who is an invader and who isn't.

There were many different explanations as to why the Divine Clapnet Empire didn't expand to the east. Some people speculate that it's because of the feelings of the Lanfang Autonomous Province's people. After all, this is a big taxpayer.

The taxes paid every year account for 40% of the total revenue of the Austrian Nanyang. The most important thing is that this is pure profit, and there is no need to pay for administrative expenses.

Other areas seem to have higher income, but after deducting the administrative expenses, there is not much left, and some of the islands have to pay for it.

A steady increase in income every year is a steady happiness, far better than direct violence and plunder.

Both sides also take what they need. In recent decades, the Lanfang Autonomous Province has been very stable. Even if there are problems, they are solved internally.

Unless it's a diplomatic problem that needs the central government to solve, other aspects never cause trouble for the central government.

Shinra is at its peak, and it's not the end of the dynasty, so the central government naturally won't make any trouble and toss their own money bag.

Another theory is: the emperor of Shinra is obsessed with Eastern culture and has developed a special feeling, so he doesn't let the people under him expand eastward.

This point, everyone who has been to the Palace of Vienna knows. There are indeed a lot of buildings and collections full of Eastern culture.

As for whether it can affect the decision of the monarch, no one knows. However, in a monarchy, the personal preferences of the monarch can indeed affect national policy.

Although the specific truth is unclear, it is definitely a good thing that the other party doesn't invade.

Compared to a group of lords who always want to invade their country, a great power that never invades their country obviously looks more friendly.

In this context, not only is the diplomatic relationship better, but the people are also affected. Although not everyone has a good impression, at least there is no hatred.

…

The Russian Embassy case continues to ferment, and Prince William, who is in the Nanyang Governor's Office, is in endless trouble.

If the Nanyang region is regarded as a colony, relying on Shinra to survive, then these problems are not a problem.

It was a pity that the situation had changed. In order to become an independent state, many problems had to be solved.

In a sense, this is also the father dividing the family property. The eldest son inherits the family property and gets the largest share. As the second son, he also gets a rich property, but it still needs to be deeply managed.

Running a business can't be done without talent, and what the colony lacks the most is talent.

In addition to military talents who can fight, including medical, education, industry, and other industries, Austria Nanyang lacks talents.

Although Prince William has recruited a large group of followers from the country before he came, for the huge Nanyang region, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Of course, there is no need to think about the high-tech industry. Just doing a good job in the basic industry and improving the basic supporting facilities is enough for William to work hard for the rest of his life.

The foundation of the Nanyang region is too weak, and there is no possibility of taking shortcuts. Lanfang District, which had the best development, was also an autonomous province.

The issue of "autonomy" is the top priority in Shinra. There are a large group of autonomous cities and states in the country, and touching them is a serious political problem.

Even if William is a prince, if he touches this sensitive issue, he can only go home and be a worm. There is no need to think about anything else.

Of course, William himself has never fought against the Lanfang Autonomous Province. There is no other reason. The Austrian Nanyang region is too big, and the country will not agree to let him rule it all.

Including the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, it may be split again in the future. The central government will only keep a few big cities, and the rest will be established as autonomous states.

In this regard, William is not dissatisfied. Even if it is really split, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, in the end, the benefits will not flow to outsiders. If it is not his son, it will be his nephew.

Now there is no split management, that is because the third generation of the House of Habsburg is too young and can't handle the situation.

Rubbing his forehead, Governor William ordered, "Send a message to ask how far the talent recruitment in the country is going."

Now William really understands why the noble lords are frantically recruiting people from the country. It is not that everyone has too much money to spend, it is that there is no one to do anything.

Take education as an example, Shinra does popularize compulsory education for all, but this "all" is limited to all citizens.

The mainland is covered by "all", but the colony is not. Not to mention compulsory education for everyone, even the white people have not realized it.

In the colony, those who can enjoy compulsory education are all native immigrants. Foreign immigrants must first make a certain contribution before they are eligible to enjoy these welfare treatment.

Needless to say, the natives are not wiped out, it is because the lords they encounter have a conscience.

This is also a characteristic of Shinra. Under all the colonies, there is a group of small and medium-sized lords to assist the colonial government in managing the place.

In theory, if William is not willing to manage, he can completely rule without doing anything. Without the Governor's Office, the people below the grassroots government will also run on their own.

Of course, racial conflicts in the Nanyang area are actually not serious. Today, the majority of the local population had become mixed-bloods.

It has truly achieved "I am in you, and you are in me." To talk about race again is to be a hooligan. A perfect social order, coupled with the connection of blood, the concept of race has been relatively diluted.

Of course, this is also because the population of the Austrian Nanyang area is not large. At the beginning of the colonization, there are only three to four million local people.

If it is in the populous Philippines or Java Island, it is not possible to play like this.

In the original time and space, the Spanish worked hard for hundreds of years, but the biggest reason is that there are too many natives and too few of their own immigrants.

The population of the Austrian Nanyang Governor's Office is not growing fast, but the population of Lanfang next door is exploding. From the initial four to five hundred thousand, it has expanded to nearly ten million now, 20 times in 40 years.

In fact, this is the result of the Empire of the Far East worried that after Lanfang becomes big, it will have ideas on the mainland and deliberately limit the result. Otherwise, the local population would not know to what extent.

After personally experiencing the wealth of the Nanyang area, William has strengthened his determination to develop the local area.

Lanfang is a ready-made example. The original Borneo (Kalimantan Island), the natural conditions are not good, and it is not ranked at all in the Nanyang area.

The climate of the tropical rainforest, because of the hot and humid climate near the equator, except for a few areas that are fertile, most of the land is relatively barren, and mineral resources are also very ordinary.

The area that is almost equivalent to a rotten land turned out to be the richest area in Nanyang, and its economy even surpassed the most fertile Java Island.

The reason is naturally because of the people, and the barren land is also relative. Compared to most of the land in the northwest of the Empire of the Far East, Borneo is still fertile.

If the soil is not fertile, fertilizer is used to make up for it. Coincidentally, Shinra has occupied several bird feces islands, which laid the foundation for the development of agriculture in Borneo.

The seasonal rainfall is very different, and the lack of water in the dry season can be made up for by building a reservoir. As long as there is perseverance, even if there is no machinery, people can also dig.

Through hard work, the Island of Borneo was developed. With a successful case, William is naturally confident in developing other areas.

In the field of agriculture, Shinra is the king of this year. Not only is the agricultural technology first in the world, but the construction of agricultural infrastructure is also the world's first.

If you add up the various water conservancy projects and infrastructure in Shinra, whether it is the scale or the number, it is more than the other countries in the world combined.

In fact, there is no need to worry about agriculture in the Nanyang area. As long as there is enough food to eat, there is no hope of export at all.

In the Far East, there is only one buyer in Japan, and they are poor people, and it is impossible to rely on agriculture to make a fortune.

If you really want to make a fortune, you still have to rely on industry, especially light industry with quick results, which can not be separated from talent.

Frankly speaking, William did not have much confidence in recruiting talents from within the country. There is no other way, there are too many people fighting for talent.

The talent shortage in Nanyang is not a thousand, and recruitment can not solve the problem at all.

To solve the problem, the best way is to train yourself. Primary and secondary schools are easy, and you can always find a way to build them, but the difficult part is the university.

Real experts and professors do not lack jobs. If they can live well in the country, why should they come to the colony to suffer?
