Expedition to Europe

Girardin was not just talking. After settling down in Tokyo, Girardin immediately went to find the Speaker of the National Assembly.

The seat of the National Assembly was in the former "Imperial Palace". When the address was set here, it was opposed by some members of the National Assembly. These members also fantasized that Emperor Taisho would return to Tokyo one day, so they were unwilling to occupy the "Imperial Palace".

At that time, because the National Assembly had not yet been established and Tokyo was still under martial law, the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan issued a document, and the members of the National Assembly were immediately silent.

That was also the last glory of the Lanfang Headquarters in Japan. After the establishment of the National Assembly, Japan officially lifted the martial law, and the power of the Headquarters in Japan gradually shrank.

If it was during the period when Qin Haoge was the commander of the Headquarters in Japan, if you wanted to see someone in Japan, you didn't have to visit them in person. Just make a phone call and the other party would come over immediately to obey your orders. Now the situation is different. Girardin wants to see the Speaker of the National Assembly, and Girardin has to go to the "Imperial Palace" to do it.

What comforted Girardin a little was that the speaker of the National Assembly was a Lanfang, not a Japanese, which made Girardin emotionally acceptable.

However, not all Lanfang people held a tough attitude towards Japan. The speaker named Guo Xinzhi advocated a conciliatory policy towards Japan, and even to a certain extent, concessions to the Japanese government and opposition were acceptable.

When explaining the "badge", Guo Xinzhi was obviously a little disapproving: "We have carefully considered the badge issue, and the final result is to postpone its implementation. Confucius said: A benevolent man, when he wants to establish himself, he establishes others, and when he wants to achieve himself, he achieves others. If he can use a metaphor, it can be said that he is a way of benevolence."

It is really hard to tell that this speaker, who is only fifty years old, wears glasses, has a long beard and wears a suit, is actually a well-educated scholar, and he always says Confucius.

It's a pity that although Girardin has learned Chinese well, he is still not at the level of understanding "The Analects of Confucius". Talking to Girardin like this is like playing the lute to a cow.

"What do you mean? If you have something to say, please talk to me. I have never been to school, so don't show off your knowledge to me." Girardin frowned immediately, and had a bad impression of the speaker.

"It means: What is benevolence? First of all, benevolence requires you to stand firm and make others stand firm; you must be able to do everything yourself and make others do everything at the same time. In this way, you can choose examples and do it step by step based on the current facts. This can be said to be a way to practice benevolence." Guo Xinzhi was also a little embarrassed. Although saying such a sentence does help to improve his style, it is also quite embarrassing to be exposed like this.

"Who told you that we want to implement benevolent governance?" Girardin asked back.

"There are so many benefits to implementing benevolent governance. If we want to stabilize the situation in Japan, blind tyranny will not achieve the goal. Only benevolent governance can make Japan-" Guo Xinzhi immediately began to talk endlessly, with a tendency to make a long speech.

"Wait-do you think we implemented tyranny in Japan before?" Girardin keenly grasped the loophole in Guo Xinzhi's words.

"Uh - no -" Guo Xinzhi denied it immediately, and his expression was still a little stubborn.

"What did you do before?" Girardin was curious. In Girardin's opinion, it was unlikely that there would be such a person in Lan Fang.

"Professor, I was a professor at the Imperial University of Peking before -" Guo Xinzhi immediately looked proud and finally talked about the field he was best at.

"Very good -" To Guo Xinzhi's surprise, Girardin did not show respect for the professor. He left a word "very good" and turned away, which made Guo Xinzhi a little confused.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Girardin went directly back to the Lan Fang headquarters in Japan to find Yang Kai. Yang Kai had just finished a meeting, which was a mobilization meeting to unify thoughts and cooperate with Girardin's work.

After meeting Yang Kai, Geraldine got straight to the point: "Guo Xinzhi is not suitable to be the speaker. He should go to school to study. How did he become the speaker?"

"Guo Xinzhi was originally a professor. This old man has a bit of the naivety of a traditional scholar. He originally went to Tokyo University to teach Chinese. When the parliament was established, he entered the parliament and was elected as the speaker. Guo Xinzhi is naive and a bit stupid. He was once one of the staunch opponents of transforming the Imperial Palace into the National Assembly. The reason was that the Japanese people's beliefs could not be destroyed." Yang Kai was full of resentment when he mentioned Guo Xinzhi. It seems that Guo Xinzhi has caused Yang Kai a lot of trouble.

The University of Tokyo is the former Tokyo Imperial University. When Qin Haoge was in power in Japan, the word "Imperial" in Tokyo Imperial University was forcibly removed, and the result was the University of Tokyo.

The University of Tokyo is the only remaining institution of higher learning in the Tokyo area. It was originally a comprehensive university with strong mechanical and medical colleges, but under Qin Haoge's transformation, the University of Tokyo became a thorough liberal arts college. Except for literature and art, the University of Tokyo closed all other colleges, and the professors in those colleges were also required to teach at Lan Fang University, and all the professors who came in were Lan Fang people.

Guo Xinzhi came to the University of Tokyo in this context.

Lan Fang's original purpose was to completely conquer the Japanese culturally, but it was still slightly insufficient in personnel preparation. After all, Lan Fang did not have enough high-level talents trained by itself, and many talents needed to be introduced from other places, which led to the current situation.

Guo Xinzhi is a talent introduced from the Republic of China. In terms of rank, Guo Xinzhi is indeed a senior talent. The Chinese world has a tradition of "respecting teachers and respecting the truth". Guo Xinzhi was previously a professor at the Imperial University of Peking, which was also the highest institution of learning in the Republic of China.

"Such a person will certainly be liked by the Japanese, but such a person is also a stumbling block for us to completely turn Japan into Lan Fang territory. We cannot let him indulge the Japanese in the parliament and let him return to school to do his research." Girardin was blunt and made a direct request to Yang Kai.

"Uh-the problem now is that the parliament does not accept our direct management. The Japanese still support Guo Xinzhi very much. It is not easy to remove Guo Xinzhi." Yang Kai also felt it was difficult. Hearing this tone, Yang Kai had considered removing Guo Xinzhi before, and even took action.

"Don't accept our management? Then is this still Lan Fang's land?" Girardin felt incredible.

Strictly speaking, Japan is not Lan Fang's territory now, but Girardin obviously doesn't think so. In Girardin's mind, Japan has long been an inseparable part of Lan Fang.

"The situation of the Congress is a bit complicated. You can first look at the way the Congress operates. Even if you want to impeach Guo Xinzhi, you can't rush it. It's better to take this opportunity to find as many hidden dangers as possible and then solve them all at once." Yang Kai is also a black-hearted person. He has the posture of laying a long line to catch big fish.

"Waste? No, I don't think it's urgent at all. I came to Japan to find problems and solve them. If you want to be ready and catch them all at once, then I can tell you that there will never be a time for perfect preparation, and patience will be exhausted in the process of preparation, and the situation will become uncontrollable, so we must solve this matter as soon as possible." Girardin did not procrastinate, but wanted to shock some people with the force of thunder and lightning.

"Well, you go to Luo Anping, he will cooperate with you." Yang Kai could not convince Girardin, so he could only choose to cooperate.

Yang Kai knew Girardin's character. Since he joined the Boy Scouts, Girardin has been a stubborn person. The number of people in Lan Fang who can influence Girardin does not exceed one hand, and Yang Kai is obviously not within the range of this hand.

Luo Anping is the former mayor of Kaohsiung. When Yingzhou was undergoing a major purge, Luo Anping performed very well, completing the tasks assigned by Yingzhou Governor Zhang Tianshou and maintaining the normal operation of the Kaohsiung City Government. Luo Anping also made a step forward. Luo Anping is the current mayor of Tokyo. He was originally the candidate for the speaker of the Japanese National Assembly prepared by Lan Fang, but he unexpectedly lost to Guo Xinzhi in the election. This is the drawback of democracy. Even if the result is not satisfactory, you have to accept it with a pinch of your nose.

After leaving the headquarters in Japan, Girardin came to the city government in Tokyo Bay, where Luo Anping worked.

"Guo Xinzhi - this guy is like a rabbit with a long tail. Guo Xinzhi's eloquence is still very powerful, but that's all. Guo Xinzhi's kingly way of education is ultimately an ideal state. Don't expect it to take thirty or fifty years to take effect, and Guo Xinzhi can't even wait for the day of realization. This guy is now immersed in the flattery of the Japanese and can't extricate himself." When Guo Xinzhi was mentioned, Luo Anping immediately sneered.

Luo Anping did not think highly of Guo Xinzhi's set. If he supported Luo Anping, Luo Anping and Guo Xinzhi still had a big conflict. This was really ridiculous. The Japanese had not completely conquered, and the Lan Fang officials had started a internal conflict.

"Kingly way of education" can be regarded as an important part of Chinese culture. It was with this "great artifact" that the Chinese once completed the ethnic integration between different ethnic groups and formed the current Chinese world.

However, nothing is static, and the same is true for theories. "Kingly Way of Education" once played an important role in history, but in the early 20th century, this theory was a bit out of date. It is not that there is no room for "Kingly Way of Education" in the jungle society, but "Kingly Way of Education" is not suitable for Japan.

Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Even many Japanese believe that the Chinese have lost the qualification to inherit Chinese culture because of the rule of the Mongols and Manchus, and the Japanese are the orthodox descendants of Chinese culture. Under this premise, it would be a joke to talk to the Japanese about "Kingly Way of Education". Maybe the Japanese would even want to "educate" the Lan Fang people in return!
