Chapter 140 A Few Things About the Allied Bolsheviks (Part 2...
Zhao Tianlin was thinking about how to solve He Rui's arrangement, so he was about to get up and leave. At this time, he heard his secretary Song Danshan ask: "Chairman, what is the second thing?"
Now Zhao Tianlin remembered that He Rui said he had to do two things now, so he quickly sat down again. He Rui said: "The number of people coming from the pass is too large. Our education must be strengthened, and compulsory education and literacy movement must be persisted."
Zhao Tianlin immediately asked, "Where is the budget?"
He Rui replied decisively: "The Education Department will hand over the budget."
Since He Rui said so readily, Zhao Tianlin also stood up and left happily. The Department of Statistics manages statistics, and the Department of Education also has its own statistics and budget departments. The data between the two parties has a lot of exchanges in work. In terms of compulsory compulsory education, Zhao Tianlin fully agrees with He Rui's view.
Since He Rui wanted a budget, Zhao Tianlin was naturally not stingy with submitting the budget. Leaders of relevant departments of the Education Department gathered in Zhao Tianlin's office and heard that Zhao Tianlin was going to formulate an education budget with the budget goal of '40 million population', and the conference room was silent for a while.
If calculated based on 100 teachers, 40 million people will need 400,000 teachers. In the current three-person rotation model, it is 1.2 million.
After a look at each other, the director of the Statistics Department mustered up the courage to tell the numbers to Zhao Tianlin, and finally said: "Director Zhao, according to the standard of 12 yuan and 300 kilograms of grain per person per year, this is 360 million kilograms of grain and 14.4 million kilograms of grain. This does not include expenditures such as textbooks and teaching aids. With these, the funds will exceed 20 million kilograms of grain."
Everyone thought Zhao Tianlin would be scared by this number, but unexpectedly, Zhao Tianlin just pushed his glasses and replied decisively: "Make the budget well and I will hand it over."
Seeing Zhao Tianlin so firm, a sigh sounded in the office. Zhao Tianlin slapped the table without waiting for his emotions to ferment. The cadres of the Education Department were stunned and the room immediately became quiet. Zhao Tianlin said with a stern face: "Comrades, don't worry about money, that's not something we should worry about. Recently, there is another thing to work hard, which is vocational education. The vocational education conducted by workers in the factory is quite delayed. We have rolled out according to the German vocational education system, but the results are not obvious. Is this because there is a problem with the setting standards of our education, or it is not long enough to see the effect. Everyone should start a survey."
After hearing this, the Director of Statistics spoke at the time: "Director Zhao, we don't have that many people."
Everyone thought Zhao Tianlin was going to press the work, but they heard Zhao Tianlin give a method, "Yes, we don't have that many people. Recently, Governor Wu Youping made an attempt in Jilin to let the teachers participating in the training participate in municipal statistics and other work. I think it can be learned from it."
The director of the Supervision Department, who is responsible for teaching quality supervision, frowned, "Suddenly adding these tasks will make teachers unable to settle down, right?"
Zhao Tianlin had already made arrangements, "The sudden increase will definitely not work, so we will put these into the teacher's training schedule, fixed and normalized."
Seeing that Zhao Tianlin was so persistent, the cadres could not find any reason to object, so they agreed. After the meeting ended, Zhao Tianlin called Xu Jia, Director of the Statistics Department, and said, "Director Xu, the work arrangement for adjusting the teacher's schedule last time has been arranged. Has the work arrangement contents of your side been decided?"
After a moment of silence on the phone, Xu Jia's voice sounded, he was quite excited, "Thank you, thank you! Director Zhao helped a lot. The afternoon of the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I will personally send the work arrangements to Director Zhao."
Zhao Tianlin was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly remembered something, "Director Xu wrote down the confidentiality requirement together."
Xu Jia didn't think at all and immediately replied: "No, we won't ask teachers to do confidentiality work. Every year, our Bureau of Statistics has to submit so many statistics in the form of government work reports. The data is public, and we are only worried that the numbers are inaccurate. Apart from personal information, we have nothing to keep confidential."
The two directors reached an agreement, and the matter was moving forward very quickly. Before the afternoon of the third day, Xu Jia personally brought the plan to meet Zhao Tianlin the next afternoon. Zhao Tianlin also made a request without hesitation in the face of Xu Jia's gratitude, "Director Xu has any talents suitable for diplomacy? If you think there is a promising future, recommend a few to me."
Xu Jia was very puzzled and asked Zhao Tianlin's needs clearly, and suggested: "Why don't Director Zhao select talents from the university?"
"I'm worried about their reliability. I can only select students who are good at both quality and academic performance, but can I pass the political review?"
Xu Jia thought about it and felt that Zhao Tianlin's concerns made sense. Although Zhao Tianlin was not looking for personnel from the diplomatic department, those who were entangled with the British still had to be reliable as the first priority. After thinking about it, Xu Jia agreed, "I will go to the Foreign Affairs Department to second Director Zhao two people. After the matter is resolved, he just let them return to the team. Or Director Zhao simply hand over the matter to the Foreign Affairs Department?"
Zhao Tianlin shook his head, "After all, it was proposed by the Chairman, so I still want to do it myself. And I also want to see if diplomacy is as I thought."
Xu Jia felt that Zhao Tianlin was a little curious, but he couldn't say anything else, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I only have one request, that is, please ask Director Zhao to provide a report in time during the process."
After the two agreed to exchange conditions, they were busy. Soon, two young men appeared in Zhao Tianlin's office. One of them was Huang Zhen and the other was Chen Xinli. After listening to Zhao Tianlin's arrangement, the two just looked at each other and replied, "I will listen to the arrangements of Director Zhao."
Zhao Tianlin made the arrangement and took the two of them straight to the British consulate in Fengtian. As soon as the consul saw Zhao Tianlin, he immediately welcomed him enthusiastically, "Dr. Zhao, Wu'an."
"Mr. Henry, Wu An. I'm here this time and want to discuss the Russians in the concentration camp." Zhao Tianlin shook hands while straight to the point.
"Has the Russians caused trouble?" Consul Henry led Zhao Tianlin to the reception room. At first, he had a brisk pace. As Zhao Tianlin told him, Consul Henry's steps began to appear heavy. After entering the reception room, Consul Henry sat on the sofa, his face as heavy as water, "Dr. Zhao, are you blaming the British Empire?"
Zhao Tianlin was detained with a big hat, "Yes, we are just accusing the British Empire and the French Republic. After all, there are 20,000 people. If they cannot be handled properly, they will probably turn into a humanitarian crisis!"
Facing the flying hat, Consul Henry felt a little aggrieved. Twenty years ago, Russia was still a close friend of Germany. Even if he joined the Allies, Russia was never a friendly country of Britain. What is the relationship between the lives of 20,000 Russians and the British Empire?
But this cannot be said publicly. Consul Henry decided to use the procrastination method, "Please let me send a telegram to Ambassador Juerdian for this matter."
Zhao Tianlin didn't know anything, but stood up and said, "This matter will have an impact, Mr. Henry."
Faced with this remark that he didn't know whether it should be considered a threat, Consul Henry decided not to hear it.
After sending Zhao Tianlin away, Consul Henry thought about it and felt that he should not send a telegram to Ambassador Juerdian. There is no need to disturb Juerdian for such a mess.
This happened on May 2. On May 3, Juerdian sat in the office chair in the morning as usual and picked up the newspaper. Now he has to read the Northeast Daily every day, which is very valuable in the eyes of senior civil servants. So the front-page headlines made Juerdian wonder if he had read it wrong.
After calming down, I read carefully. The title of "British, France and the United States ignore humanitarian disasters" was correct. Juerdian looked at the newspaper's head again and it was indeed "Northeast Daily". For a moment, Juerdian couldn't understand what He Rui meant. In this year of war, what kind of major event would be called a humanitarian disaster?
News starts with a small story.
… Recently, Mr. Malinowski, an anthropologist of the Austro-Hungarian Empire who visited the tropical rainforests of the Pacific Islands, told a story about a local cannibal: “War is taking place in Europe, and tens of thousands of people die every day.”
The cannibal natives asked in surprise: "How can you eat so much human flesh?"
When anthropologist Mr. Malinowski explained that Europeans do not eat human flesh, the cannibals were stunned and said in confusion: "If you don't eat, why do you kill me? You are too savage!"
There is a saying in Europe that before the war breaks out, most people will think that victory is more important than life. At the end of the war, most people will think that life is more important than victory. In the world, life is the most important. Therefore, various international treaties emphasize the preciousness of life and the importance of humanitarianism.
The Geneva International Covenant contains content on ensuring the rights of prisoners of war in war and has been recognized by all countries.
Now, about 20,000 Russians are stranded in China. They no longer have their own government and their lives are unattended. Based on the spirit of humanitarianism, the Northeast authorities in Northeast China have hosted them for several months, and their excessive financial expenditures have exhausted the financial resources of the Northeast local authorities.
These Russians applied for political asylum to go to the Allied Member States such as Britain, France and America, but no one was interested. The Northeast authorities urged Britain, France and America to face up to this fact and provide customs clearance services in a timely manner so that these white Europeans can obtain refugee status as soon as possible and go to the UK, France and America territory they have been thinking about day and day...
Zhu Erdian and He Rui had a head-on diplomatic confrontation and knew that He Rui had diplomatic ability. After reading this news, Zhu Erdian felt that He Rui's image had changed. Why did the elegant and sharp diplomat suddenly roll on the ground?
According to a report provided by Mori Xun, director of the Northeast Investment and Merchants Bureau, thousands of Chinese people are pouring in from the Northeast every day. He Rui not only does not stop them, but also encourages these immigrants. In a year, millions of Chinese immigrants must enter the Northeast. Why did 20,000 Russians cause the Northeast finance to collapse!
When He Rui mentioned the Russians, he meant that they were ‘European whites’, and this emotional card was so good!
Thinking of this, Juerdian immediately ordered a newspaper to the British Consulate in Fengtian to ask what was going on. At the end of the telegram, Juerdian emphasized that it was necessary to figure out what He Rui's purpose was.
Two days later, the same news was published in the Times and the Lis Figaro. Although millions of young people have died in Britain and France, the people do not sympathize with the Russians. However, seeing that the "white Europeans" are about to be "dumped" in the Northeast under General He Rui's rule, the sympathy is inevitably a little swelling.
The "joke" in front of this news has indeed laid the foundation for emotions. The war has gone through now, and it has made ordinary Europeans feel unbearable.
In such a war-torn moment, the influence of things in Europe is not completely gone, but they can only be said to be insignificant.
But it is different in Asia. Consul Henry saw the news from the Northeast Daily and received a telegram from Zhu Erdian, and immediately asked to see He Rui. He Rui did not see Consul Henry, but just sent someone to tell Consul Henry that Zhao Tianlin was responsible for this matter.
As a last resort, Consul Henry asked Zhao Tianlin to come to the consulate for negotiation. Zhao Tianlin was not polite this time and just asked what to do?
Consul Henry continued to play with diplomatic fun and replied with a serious expression: "Dr. Zhao, you have to discuss this with the Russian official."
"Very good! We will ask the Russian official to discuss it." Zhao Tianlin nodded, and after saying that, he stood up and said: "In view of the reactions of Britain, France, America and other countries, we will implement strict epidemic prevention inspections on people entering the Northeast region of the above countries."
"What?" Consul Henry didn't understand.
Zhao Tianlin repeated again, "We will implement strict epidemic prevention inspections on personnel and goods entering China from Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries!"
Consul Henry took a while to understand what this meant. Strict epidemic prevention inspections mean that the movement of people will be greatly affected, and there is also a diplomatic insulting hint.
