In another time and space, from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to the defeat of Japan in 1945, Japan has plundered countless cultural relics for more than half a century, which has become an indelible pain in the hearts of all Chinese people.

There is no such regret in this time and space. Even the Chinese in this time and space may not have as much hatred for the Japanese in another time and space. After all, Japan is no longer possible to invade the Qing Dynasty, nor will it cause such great harm to the Chinese in another time and space. The reality may turn out to be the other. After decades, after the Japanese nation awakens, it is more likely that the Japanese will hate the Chinese, especially when they see the "three major artifacts" displayed in the Junma Museum.

It is not necessarily true that the Japanese national characteristics are the strong. Even after the Japanese national awakens, as long as the strength of the United States is stronger than that of Japan, the Japanese probably do not have as much hatred for the Japanese. The Japanese do not have as clear love and hate as the Chinese. The Chinese have always been gentlemen to take revenge for ten years, and the Japanese probably don’t. They are better at kneeling down and studying, but they will not stand after kneeling for a long time. Therefore, the Japanese in another time and space also frequently make small moves, sometimes revising the constitution and sometimes referendums. They all seem to be very serious, but they always give people the feeling that children are asking for candy.

Li Mu spent the whole morning visiting Bai Qi's various collections in Japan in the past two years.

Bai Qi collected not only Japanese cultural relics, but also Qing Dynasty and Goryeo. The Qing Empire had no concept of cultural relics protection at all this time, so the outflow of cultural relics was very serious. It is said that antiques and gold in troubled times in prosperity. No one in the Qing Empire now collects them. They all want to replace the old objects in their homes with gold. Perhaps only the only one left is the Old Buddha in the Old Summer Palace. He also believes that the Qing Empire is in prosperity.

If Bai Qi means, it would be nice to place these cultural relics on Shikoku Island, or even set up a museum on Shikoku Island.

Li Mu didn't think so. Shikoku Island is Li Mu's private property. It is basically meaningless to place these antiques in Shikoku Island. The museum must be opened, but it cannot be opened in Shikoku Island. Vladivostok is a good choice. Since Vladivostok will be mainly Chinese in the future, it will be more warning to place these cultural relics in Vladivostok.

"The United States is very important. It is not our base camp and we must manage it well. But Vladivostok is more important to us. In the United States, we Chinese are always ethnic minorities and are 'foreign devils'. Vladivostok is our territory. So in the next ten or even twenty years, our focus will be on Vladivostok. Some things need not be said, just do them. Museums, hospitals, schools, theaters, and these things will gradually come." Li Mu didn't want to make everyone know, and there was some things that everyone knew, and there was no need to show off.

This is a forced low-key. Now Vladivostok is just like the United States, and it is trying its best to attract immigrants. The United States is willing to accept people. As long as someone is willing to immigrate to the United States, the United States welcomes it, but Vladivostok cannot do so. Li Mu and Chen Guofang have the same opinions on this. Vladivostok needs immigration, but only Chinese immigrates are needed. For other ethnic groups, please forget about it. If someone is willing to come, the Vladivostok government will not refuse, but the Vladivostok government will never take the initiative to attract immigrants from other ethnic groups.

Since you don’t want non-Chinese people to immigrate to Vladivostok, you need to be a considerable degree of low-key. The museums, hospitals, schools and other things that Li Mu mentioned are not popular in the United States, and there are very few in the Far East. If the Vladivostok government really promotes it based on this, people who want to immigrate to Vladivostok will definitely flock to them. Don’t overestimate the patriotism of these people these days. Some people in the 21st century are willing to clearly mark prices in order to go abroad.

"I have already greeted Tokugawa Riya. After spring comes, I will send someone here, so I will definitely not delay Lao Chen's affairs." Bai Qi has enough authority in Japan. This kind of thing is just to say hello. Maybe he doesn't even have to pay for his salary, just take care of the meal.

Bai Qi refers to the fact that Li Mu mentioned that he hired workers from Japan and went to Vladivostok to work. This is very simple. Japan now has not many people, but there are many people. It was originally only four islands that were already ruined, and Li Mu forced one to buy one. If Tokugawa hadn't been begging hard, Li Mu wouldn't even want the Japanese to get involved in Hokkaido.

But looking back, there is no need to be so harsh on Japan. Now Li Mu cannot obtain enough human resources from the Qing Empire. The Chinese have only the largest population group in the world, but they are firmly controlled by the Qing government until the Qing Dynasty has not made a breakthrough. If it weren't for the natural disaster, the Qing government was afraid of gathering people to rebel, and the Pacific company might not be able to meet Li Mu's immigration requirements. Looking around the world, as long as Japan's human resources are sufficient, and the key is that the price is low. To make Tokugawa obedient, he must always give some benefits.

"Okay, I'll let Lao Chen settle the wages to you at that time." Li Mu gave enough oil and water. As for how Bai Qi and Tokugawa Riyan, it's not the issue that Li Mu has to consider. Anyway, what Li Mu wants is not fair. All he wants is labor. As long as the Vladivostok government gives money, even if the Japanese make up old accounts in the future, they will not be able to find the Vladivostok government.

One thing that is certain is that no matter how much money the Vladivostok government gives Bai Qi, even if it only takes one tenth of the money to those workers in the end, it would be good. Whether it is Bai Qi or the Tokugawa shogunate, they do not regard Japanese civilians as human beings. Japanese society itself has classes, and it is normal for the lowest class to be exploited by the upper class. When encountering such a thing, the most common method used by white people is to protest, Indians cooperate, Chinese people rise up and resist, and Japanese people are accustomed to it.

This "accustomed to being" is indeed a bit weird, but it is also terrifying, because this kind of thinking is very dangerous. Once these lower-class people meet another group of people who can be exploited at will, they will also be accustomed to it. This is why the Japanese were so cruel in the eight-year War of Resistance.

Others think that Japanese people are cruel, but Japanese people don’t think so. They think this is normal because in their understanding, the cruelty of the strong to the weak is natural, and not cruelty is against human nature. They really won’t be grateful.

In fact, when the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the Japanese were also prepared to be treated cruelly. Unfortunately, the person the Japanese met was MacArthur, and the Japanese escaped.

In fact, if you want to talk about the Virgin Mary, the one I just said is, there are not many people in human history that are more "saintly" than MacArthur. Apart from the Japanese, there are probably few people in the world who are grateful to MacArthur. MacArthur has several other subordinates who have lived in Japanese concentration camps. They have lost their human form when they are rescued. I don’t know how MacArthur convinces them to treat the Japanese well. Is it the role of hot springs?

"It doesn't matter whether there is wages or not. Tokugawa is now a president. A large part of the workers sent to Vladivostok are opponents of Tokugawa. That guy wishes those people would die and Vladivostok will die." Bai Qi understood Tokugawa's every move. Perhaps Bai Qi was interested in this wage, so Tokugawa did not care about it. People care about the world, and this ideal is big enough.

After the Industrial Revolution, the whole world was undergoing changes, and even the Qing Empire was shouting for reform. Japan had no reason to stop moving forward.

However, the motivation for progress is not enough. After the restoration of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Tokugawa Ritsuo killed the Emperor and his group completely. The current emperor is a child who Tokugawa Ritsuo didn't know where to find. The children will grow up one day and have their own ideas. Therefore, the Tokugawa Shogunate still has hidden dangers. Tokugawa Ritsuo wanted to change Japan's political system, so that Tokugawa Ritsuo could master Japan legitimately.

Compared with the clearly directed position of "Emperor", the scope of the president is much wider. It is the same as the United States, the same as the same as Russia in later generations, or the same family monopoly as North Korea. The term of office is only a form, and elections are the true meaning. Even if Tokugawa Shin-Yan decides to be elected one year, Tokugawa Shin-Yan will have a way to be elected again and again, and in the future, it will also win the honor of "father of democracy" for Tokugawa Shin-Yan. Such good things are not happening every year.

"It shouldn't be too many dead." Li Mu's words were very short, but his tone was very cold.

Unlike the current United States, Vladivostok does not have many large machinery, so whether it is road construction or port construction, it depends more on manpower.

It sounds very inspiring to win over nature, but in fact it is often cruel behind it. Almost all large-scale projects in history were piled up with their lives. What's more, the construction of Vladivostok was still employed, so Chen Guofang would not feel even more distressed when using it. This is not because Chen Guofang hated the Japanese so much that the Japanese did not cause any harm to Chen Guofang. Chen Guofang could not hate the Japanese at all.

But this is the objective condition. Even if Chen Guofang felt sorry for her, she couldn't do anything. When the United States built the Pacific Railway, did those railway companies hate the Chinese?

No, they don’t hate it. On the contrary, compared with Mexicans and Irish people, the owners of railway companies like Chinese people very much because Chinese are more capable and able to endure hardships. However, this cannot change the fact that those railway workers have suffered heavy casualties. Because the objective conditions are like that, Chinese people go to build railways, so Chinese people have suffered heavy casualties. If they were Mexicans or Irish people, they would only have more casualties. That does not mean that the bosses of railway companies hate Irish and Mexicans.

Just like Li Mu is now involved in the plunder of Indians, not because Li Mu hates the Indians, but because the plunder of Indians has become a common behavior at the entire United States. Even if Li Mu doesn't go, others will go. At least Li Mu will leave a way out for those Indians and will not take the Indians' skull to receive rewards.

When something becomes a common behavior of the whole society, don’t say anything to be alone. At this time, watching coldly is not just being alone, but being out of place. Choosing to be an alternative is often costly, either being isolated or targeted.

There was no news of Li Mu coming to Shikoku Island. Before lunch was eaten, Tokugawa Riyao hurried to Shikoku Island to pay homage to Li Mu.

This is not an inappropriate wording, it is really just a visit. Whether you want to see him or not depends on Li Mu's mood. Fortunately, Li Mu is in a good mood now, so Tokugawa Ritsuo was able to step into Li Mu's manor.

Of course, Li Mu did not deliberately put away Bai Qi's collection because Tokugawa Riya came to visit. Li Mu didn't know if Tokugawa Riya had seen it. It was supposed to be seen because the location of the collection was very conspicuous. However, from Tokugawa Riya's face, Li Mu could not see any abnormalities, without any grief or inexplicable grief, nor did he feel sad or sad from Tokugawa Riya's face. Li Mu only saw humble respect from Tokugawa Riya's face.

I feel sad that good or bad are also leaders of a country.

"God General, I'm very happy to see you." Li Mu's attitude was pretty good, at least he couldn't get up without sitting in the chair.

"Mr. Reim, I'm very happy to see you." Tokugawa Ritsua has no master mentality. Shikoku Island is already Li Mu's private territory, and now Tokugawa Ritsua is the guest.

The reason why Tokugawa Ritsu comes to find Li Mu is very simple. Tokugawa Ritsu wants to select some people to study at Times magazine under Li Mu. It seems that Tokugawa Ritsu has realized the importance of public opinion and has also seen the performance of Times magazine in the US presidential election. This is a good thing. As I said just now, Japanese people are very good at learning.

"Yes, Time Magazine welcomes the exchange of various ideas. The General is committed to turning Japan from a feudal state into a democratic state, which is very admirable." When there is a chance, Li Mu certainly did not refuse the output of values.

"Learning" is a metaphysics. Whether to let the learning or not is one thing, and whether you can learn it is another. From the bottom of my heart, Li Mu certainly doesn't want Tokugawa Ritsu to control Japanese public opinion. It's better to leave this kind of thing to Bai Qi. Tokugawa Ritsu as long as you enjoy the results, but if Tokugawa Ritsu wants to learn, Li Mu has no reason to refuse. Anyway, even if Tokugawa Ritsu copied Time magazine to Japan, as long as Bai Qi wants it, Li Mu will have a way to kill him.

Speaking of public opinion propaganda, everyone in this era is just a schoolchild in front of Li Mu. It is not difficult to copy the model of Time magazine. The Democratic Party did this a few years ago, but it has no effect. Time magazine controls public opinion not by the model but by the content, as well as the reputation in the minds of readers, and the image that editors usually deliberately maintain. They do not consider these issues, but simply copy the model, and in the end they can only be Dong Shixixiong.
