Chapter 1089: Japan-Russia severance of diplomatic relations

At the beginning of the 20th century, studying abroad was not a simple matter. 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 satisfy oral communication, but also to reach the test-taking level.
With the exception of Japan's Pheasant University, which has an open income, other universities have thresholds. Unless you pay a high sponsorship fee, you can only pass the entrance exam.
Whether it is a written test, an interview, or a recommendation for admission, there is no uniform standard.
Can you stand out? In addition to personal ability, the more important thing 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 and studies when they go there. If you go to study in other countries, you don’t know if you can get the admission qualifications.
Nanyang University’s enrollment is no exception. The entrance exam is limited to a few test centers in Nanyang, and it is impossible to send people to organize the exams across Asia.
The Ministry of Education stipulates that the examination syllabus must be centered on middle school teaching materials. For the same test questions, overseas students who crammed their feet obviously competed against local students who had studied hard for more than a decade.
It seems that there are more than 1,000 students enrolled in all of Asia, but in fact, most of the students from the Austrian Nanyang region can stand out in the written examination.
Failure to pass the written test means that it is insulated from free education and can only pay for reading.
Nanyang University was first established, and William, the principal, had no confidence, so he was very fair in terms of fees.
Compared with the high tuition fees in the country, which cost more than 10,000 yuan, Nanyang University’s lowest-paid majors only need 500 Aegis per year.
For the wealthy international students, this is naturally not a problem. But for the vast majority of students with average net worth, this is a big problem.
It is an astronomical figure especially for the traditional family who inherited from farming and studying. Even if there are tens of thousands of acres of intensive farming, the annual income is no more than 10,000 yuan.
It seems to be enough, but every family can count on these benefits to eat, and at most they can support one or two international students.
Of course, the main reason is that there are only rumors about the abolition of the imperial examinations, which has not become a reality, and the enthusiasm for studying abroad is not high.
After the imperial examinations were cancelled, everyone found that there was only one way left to study abroad, and that was when the Far East students were madly exported, and then they would be supported by the whole family.
"Boan, don't be joking. It's okay for those who just came to Japan. We have been studying for several years, and we are about to finish our studies. We will go to Nanyang and start from scratch..."
Halfway through talking, Liu Renxin realized that he had made a mistake. There were not only old international students, but also newcomers.
Perhaps the speaker is unintentional, but it sounds intentional! Even if the inconvenience happened immediately due to the pressure of face, the thorn in my heart was still buried.
If it's a stranger, it's fine, and it can be a friend if the misunderstanding is solved. On the contrary, it is between friends. Once such a misunderstanding occurs, it is difficult to go back to the past even if it is solved. The adult world has never been pure.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, a classmate who had been friends with Liu Renxin changed the subject and said: "Brother Liu does not need to be pessimistic. We have learned only a few years in Japan and it is a good thing to have the opportunity to continue studying.
As far as I know, many Japanese students are also preparing for the exam, preparing to compete in Nanyang University.
Now that the situation in Tokyo is unclear, I should make plans early. Even if I can't get the first class, I will 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 here to study.
Although Nanyang University is not a European university, there is a Prince Shinra as the president, which is very attractive to everyone.
Apart from other things, after graduating from Nanyang University, it is much simpler to go to Shinra for further studies.
Japanese students are all preparing, 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 the entrance examinations will need competition, but also the places for self-financed study.
After all, a school is a school and cannot be fully commercialized. Although the higher the price can maximize the benefits, Principal William can't afford to lose that face!
In this context, it is natural to continue the exam. Just to ensure the fairness of educational resources, the Shinra Ministry of Education stipulates that self-financed students shall not exceed 5% of the total number.
Of course, international students are not within the quota limit. In principle, as long as the money can be afforded and the school can accommodate, the more the better.
Local universities do not have such troubles. The high fees scare away 99% of international students. What really needs to be considered is Nanyang University.
The 500 Aegis tuition has blocked some people, but it is not enough to make people daunting. There are still many people who meet the conditions.
The first, second, third class was born under this background. The lower the level, the higher the tuition fee you need to pay. If you can't get the third class, it is scum. Nanyang University does not accept tatters.
This is an embarrassing problem. There are many scholars among foreign students, but there are also many scumbags. These people's congresses all have one characteristic 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 but not saving the country. Those are just the personal thoughts of the students and cannot represent the family behind them.
In a sense, it is not important to everyone that the grades are not graded, but mainly for gilding.
But after a few years of studying, I didn't get a diploma from a Japanese school, and Nanyang University couldn't even get an admission qualification, so I couldn't explain it when I returned home.
"Nanyang University is not far from enrolling students. If we want to improve our grades in a short time, we can only raise funds for private tutoring."
Seeing no one answered, Li Boan took the initiative to pierce the window paper. It's better to hold the Buddha's foot temporarily than not to hold it.
It is estimated that there is more than one person who has similar ideas, but usually everyone is accustomed to self-confidence, and I am embarrassed to admit that I am a scumbag.
Of course, it is true that it is a bit too much to say that "student scum", but when studying in Japan, most people have not learned much knowledge.
After all, Japan’s educational resources are also scarce these days, especially higher education resources, which are scarce.
University teachers are mainly foreign students sent out. Most of the foreign students in Europe also enter the Pheasant University. After learning a little, they start teaching and educating people.
In many cases, teachers are organized to study first, and then go back to teach students. To be able to cultivate talents, the main thing is that everyone is willing to study.
At the University of Tokyo, you can often see teachers and students studying a problem until late at night.
In contrast, Pheasant University is quite different. It's a fool in itself. Many teachers have never gone to college. Reading with textbooks is considered a class.
Except for a few international students who can be admitted to a regular university and can learn knowledge, most of the international students are in a mess.
...
The turmoil triggered by Nanyang University has just begun, and it was soon overwhelmed by the new favorites.
On February 6, 1904, 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 the "authoritarian mystery" at this moment. Nicholas II also promised the people that the Japanese government would not dare to do anything.
Well, in recent decades, the Japanese government has been very frustrated with the great powers. Whether it was the initial black ship incident, or the Philippine war, or even the previous embassy case, as long as the foreign powers intervened in the Japanese government, they would be counseled.
But the problem is that when the Japanese government counsels, they all have a common feature: the opponent is too strong to win.
Obviously, things are different now. Although the Russian Empire is strong, 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 the fight is won, why should the Japanese government counsel?
Anyway, a battle between Japan and Russia is inevitable. It is better to win the battle at this time than to wait for the Russians to be ready.
Of course, the most important thing is that Britain and Shinra officially broke. Backing by British allies can offset the diplomatic pressure from Shinra.
...
In Vienna Palace, 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 the battle between Japan and Russia, but also the game between Shinra and Britain.
Shen Luo wants to cheat the Russians, but the outside world doesn't know it! In the eyes of many people, the two countries of the Russian-Austrian alliance are still strategically integrated.
The current Russo-Japanese War is not just a battle for hegemony in the Far East, but also a game between Britain and the Shenra for world hegemony.
The actors are already in place, now waiting for the gongs and drums to start, how can Franz be absent as the host?
Theoretically speaking, it doesn't seem to be a big problem to hand it over to my son. But Franz is not at ease!
It's nothing more than mistakes in normal times. Any mistakes in details at this time may cause the subsequent layout to fail.
The layout failed. I was afraid that the Russians were not pitted in. Instead, the plan was exposed in advance and pushed the Russians to the side of the British.
Although the Holy Roman Empire has become a general trend, it is not impossible to win one enemy two, but the risk is high!
Victory by strength is true happiness; victory by adventure is gambling. For a big country, gambling is undoubtedly a taboo.
When it comes to digging holes and burying people, Franz thinks he is better than his son, especially the Russians, who are more experienced.
Just look at the tsarist government. It is obvious that it has been scammed many times, but it has never happened, which is enough to explain the problem.
...
Franz: "Japan and Russia have severed diplomatic relations. It seems that the war will break out in a few days. Let's get started!
We must hurry up before the news of the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, start our trade frictions with the British, and speculate on prices in advance. "
There is no way. The Russian-Austrian Alliance has agreed that one side must provide support when a war breaks out.
The most important one is that during the war, the price of strategic materials cannot be increased. Simply put, it is the price of the first order, and the price of the following.
This time it was different. The Czarist government did not believe that the Japanese dared to do anything, and did not order strategic materials in advance.
It just so happens that the outbreak of the Anglo-Austrian trade conflict provides the best excuse for rising prices, and Franz will naturally not let it go.
It is normal for pure commercial behaviors to fluctuate in prices. Even if the tsarist government found out, it was hard to say.
"Father, isn't this okay? The tsarist government is already in financial difficulties, and for a while, it can't even raise funds for the war.
If nothing goes wrong, the Russians will eventually borrow money from us, and speculating on prices now will only make the Russians bankrupt in advance. "
It's not how high Frederick's morals are. The main reason is that the Russian Empire is too poor. After the war broke out, a large part of the funds had to be paid by the Vienna government.
The higher the price, the more money the Vienna government will borrow. Given the financial situation of the tsarist government, the repayment can be said to be far away.
As for the collateral provided by the Russians, the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. If it is really compensated in kind, it is estimated that the relationship between the Russian-Austrian alliance will also end.
Of course, there is one exception, that is, the tsarist government is forced to a dead end and can only sell assets to survive.
For details, please refer to the Soviet Union after the disintegration of the original time and space. As long as it can be exchanged for money, what is for sale. If it is not sold, it must be that the money given is not enough.
As long as the money is sufficient, nuclear bombs can be sold. Had it not been for the leaks during the operation, the first nuclear bomb transaction in human history would have been completed.
It is obviously not a simple matter to push the Russian Empire to a dead end. When Shinra could not do it himself, the Japanese alone could not do it.
In this context, for the Vienna government, the more money it lends to the Russians, the more it loses.
When the price of strategic materials is increased, capitalists are the cheaper ones, although many companies in Shinra are controlled by the government and the royal family.
Franz shook his head and said earnestly: "Frederick remembers one thing:'If you want to take it, you must first follow it.'
How can the Russians feel relieved if they don't borrow a little money to go out? "
"It is the uncle who owes money", this theory was also applicable in the early 20th century. If the loaned money is too much, the creditor will be kidnapped by the debtor.
In the original time and space, the Americans had borrowed too much money. In order to ensure that the borrowed money would not be squandered, after Russia surrendered, they had to go down to help the Allies.
This is positive, and there are negative teaching materials English and French. Because Mao Xiong, the debtor, was finished, the debt was lost, which directly affected the speed of domestic economic recovery after the war.
The situation facing the Vienna government is the same. If the Russian Empire is finished, the financial system of Shinra will also be affected.
The size of the shock is ultimately determined by the amount of debt. It can be said that the more money borrowed, the tighter the economic binding between Russia and Austria.
Knowing that he can't do it, it's not that Franz is willing to help others. The most important thing is to reassure the tsarist government.
Hundreds of millions of Aegis’ debts can’t kidnap Shinra, but for billions or billions of debts, it’s really hard to let go.
"I can't bear to let my child not be able to set up a wolf", in order to lure the tsarist government into fools, Franz is also preparing to spend his money.
Isn't it "money"? As long as you can become the ultimate winner, it doesn't matter if you print more.
Even if it triggers an economic and financial crisis, most of the world will share the loss together, and Franz can afford it.
