Chapter 1083 Human Sophistication
Similar skirmishes are still being staged between the investigation team and various Japanese departments. It’s just that most of the time, it ends with the admission of Japanese government officials.
Including Saito Da Zuo is no exception, even if there is a lot of reluctance in his heart, he still has to be obedient in the end.
There is no way. In order to end the Russian embassy case as soon as possible and get rid of the plague gods in the mission, the Japanese government has no choice at all.
...
"What? Decheng was arrested. Didn't I tell you not to stand out?"
Li Bo'an exclaimed.
During the day, he was still spreading common sense to friends from China and admonishing them not to mix things up. At night, he received the bad news that his close friend was arrested.
Because they couldn't express their feelings, the two went out to participate in the parade during the day, and when they returned home at night, only one was left.
"Bo An, it's really not our fault. To participate in today's parade, we were just pulled over to make up the number. No matter what we shouted or slogan, we were all mixed in the crowd.
Under normal circumstances, the police will only arrest the mastermind and the leader of the team. Even in the event of an accident, we can run away.
Only today is different, the Japanese government dispatched the army. The scene was so chaotic that I don't know what happened, but there was a violent clash between the parade and the army, and guns were fired at the end.
After the scene got out of control, the Japanese military and police seemed to be crazy and took people everywhere. Decheng was mistaken for a member of the Jagged Revenge Society because he got too close to Mitsui Taro..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice seemed, as if he was ashamed of himself for running away during the day. However, the focus of everyone's attention is obviously not here.
It's not on the battlefield, the military and police will of course run away. If you stay and share weal and woe, you're a real fool.
After being silent for a while, Li Bo'an said slowly: "Okay, Deran. It's not your fault. No one wants to see Decheng's accident, but it has already happened. Now let's find a way to get people!"
"Finding people" has always been a technical job. Especially fetching people from the Japanese army is even more troublesome.
Those who are able to study abroad these days are either rich or expensive. Not to mention ordinary civilians, even the Wangzhijia of the Squire County could not afford to support an international student.
There is no way, even if you go to Japan, where the cost of studying abroad is the lowest, it will cost thousands of taels of silver. All this money can buy a hundred acres of fertile land in China.
If you study in Europe, it will be more expensive. No matter how much you save, it will cost thousands of taels of silver. If your grades are not good, you need to pay for sponsorship, which is even more astronomical.
This is also the main reason why international students often work part-time. If the money from the family is not enough, if you don’t go to work to earn money, there is no way to successfully complete your studies.
It's a pity that everyone's personal connections are in China, and now they are far away in a foreign country, and the network behind them can't play a role at all.
Wang Deran nodded and said hesitantly: "On the way back, a Japanese friend told me not to act rashly now.
They will find ways to get people, let us not act rashly, lest we get burned. "
"Pissing yourself off" is definitely a taboo for Chinese people. Especially when overseas, everyone is more committed to sweeping the snow before the door.
If it weren't for the arrest of a friend, it is estimated that everyone would feel sad, and at most help a little if they can.
Li Bo'an shook his head helplessly: "I'm afraid the Japanese can't count on them, so many have been arrested and imprisoned recently, and there are many dignitaries among them.
So many people with hands and eyes can't get people out. Obviously, now this is no longer a matter for the Japanese themselves.
If I guess correctly, the right to deal with all the suspected Russian embassy cases now falls into the hands of the mission.
It's too late for the Japanese to find a scapegoat now, so how could they exonerate Decheng! "
It's not that Li Bo'an is pessimistic, he really knows too much and sees the world too thoroughly.
In the face of the pressure from the international community, the Japanese government has chosen to admit counsel. In this context, going against the trend is the way to die.
As a bystander, he was not optimistic about the demonstrations organized by Japanese classmates from the beginning. If the parade was useful, wouldn't the foreign powers have to go home to eat noodles?
What's more, this time itself is the Japanese government's loss. The police in the embassy area failed to play their due role in preventing the massacre, and the Japanese government is to blame.
If it was the Japanese government during World War II, maybe it would have dared to fight against the international community. It is a pity that it is Japan before the Russo-Japanese War. In the face of the pressure of the foreign powers, if you don't do what you want, you have to be beaten.
Don't look at the fact that European countries "emphasize real profits and ignore false names", and think that their faces are not important. It's really not worth the expedition for the sake of face, but it's no problem for the navy to vote.
"Why don't we ask the imperial court for help, Mr. Liu is also a member of the mission and should be able to speak."
The person who spoke was inquiring about the students who came to study in Japan. The circle of international students itself is not large, and everyone needs to take care of each other when they go out.
"Wuhen, don't dream. It is better to expect the Japanese army to release people if you expect the imperial court to come forward.
It's not been a day or two since you came to Japan. When did you see that Mr. Liu to help us out?
Asking for help from the imperial court will have no effect at all, except for wasting money, and it may even affect our development after returning to China. "
The young man's words resonated with everyone. Almost all the students who study in Japan have a great deal of respect for the rotten imperial court in the country.
Neither feel good.
In a sense, the foreign ministers of the Far Eastern Empire are just scapegoats. There is a government where more is worse than less, how does this allow diplomats to perform?
Don't care about big or small matters, justified or unreasonable, but whenever people protest, the domestic government will soften.
Arguing with reason will not only fail to work, but will affect your career. After a long period of time, the foreign ministers naturally followed suit.
In fact, everyone present was already relatively stable. If it were on the side of the radicals, the clamorers would overthrow the imperial court at this time.
Of course, "stable" is only temporary. With the spread of revolutionary ideas, sooner or later "rebellion" will become the mainstream thought among overseas students.
"The imperial court also has its difficulties, and now the outside world is rumored that international forces are involved, and the Russian embassy case is planned to provoke the Russo-Japanese War.
In this context, the imperial court's rash participation is likely to arouse suspicions from all countries. It is impossible for Master Liu to act rashly.
Judging from the current situation, we can only ask the Chinese Association for help. There are many people who are engaged in overseas trade and have a wide network of contacts, so they should be able to talk. "
Instead of asking for help from the government, they turned to civil society organizations for help. I have to say, this is also an irony.
However, this is the reality. Not overseas businessmen, they are all enthusiastic and will help with anything.
The main reason is that international students are valuable to them, or the personal connections behind international students are valuable to them.
Those who do trade in East Asia cannot avoid the Far East Empire. With the help of the local snake, it is definitely much stronger than without it.
Even if it is not used for a short time, these favors will not be wasted. Most of the international students in this year are the elites of the times.
When you are overseas, you are inconspicuous, and once you return to your country, your worth will be doubled immediately. Not to say that every international student can go straight to the sky, but most of them will get along well.
The Chinese society is a human society, and people are still willing to sell their favor if they can.
Li Bo'an: "Brother Yaoyang's proposal is good, and it is indeed the best way to ask the Chinese Association for help.
There are many compatriots over there, all of whom have obtained foreign nationality and are in contact with the embassies of various countries. It's much better to ask them for help than to do it ourselves.
It's best that we scrape together a sum of money now and send it to the Chinese Association for them to help. It's best to be able to fish Decheng out directly, and even if it doesn't work, let someone take care of him. "
In this year's overseas trade, in addition to fighting for courage, it is more about fighting for contacts.
Without the support of the state, foreign businessmen can mix well overseas, and naturally there will be no shortage of personal connections.
Relying on personal connections is a big favor, and if you ask people to pay, it will be unreasonable. Even if it is sent, others may not accept it, so it must be sent.
The people present were all elites, and although they were young, everyone was very skilled in the world, and naturally no one would refuse.
No matter how much money you have, you have to be careful. If it is spread out, it is all for the sake of friends.
With this reputation, it will be much easier to socialize in the future. After all, everyone likes friends who are loyal enough.
There is nothing to condemn, it is human nature to tend to be powerful. After receiving the news, everyone is willing to come and help, it is all human.
Seeing the generous donations from everyone, Li Bo'an smiled and said, "It's not enough just to have money, it is also a hassle to find someone to help the Chinese Association.
At this stage, everyone should not hide it. If you don't activate your connections, I can't give this money away. "
Smart people can see that this is Li Bo'an's real purpose. Whether it is discussing countermeasures or making donations, they are all paving the way for the future.
