The tearing between Yuan Shikai and the Qing court, in Li Songchen's view, is just a farce, of course, Yuan Shikai's cheekiness and ability to reverse black and white are a highlight of this farce. As the saying goes, if a person is cheap, he is invincible, Yuan Shikai dared to show his face, and said that the black was white, and the dead were alive, of course, the Qing court was not an opponent, so in this tear, he was not unjustly defeated.

However, Li Songchen has a lot of things to deal with now, so he doesn't care about the results of Yuan Shikai and the Qing court, and Luo Yue is responsible for receiving the Jiangbei land.

During this visit to Germany, East China sent a strong lineup of foreign visits, and there were as many as 27 veterans alone, including 12 veterans of the military, including 7 in the navy and 5 in the army. The total number of visiting missions was 65.

In addition, 120 students went to study in Germany. According to the agreement reached by the two sides during the last German visit to East China, East China will send a group of students to study in Germany every year, and Germany will also guarantee that it will make proper arrangements for the students in East China. These 120 students are the first batch of people to study in Germany, and they also have a certain experimental nature, after all, although the education of East China ** pays great attention to international vision, but this time it is in a foreign country after all, how to make these international students better study in Germany, and learn the real material, all need to be tested and run-in. Of the 120 students who went to study in Germany, 20 were given places in Shanghai.

The first batch of students studying in Germany, all of them are boys, aged 15-17 years old, and have at least 5 years of systematic study time, the time to study in Germany is preliminarily determined to be 4-5 years, originally East China ** is to advocate male and female enrollment, but because this group of students has an experimental nature, but girls are not suitable, and considering that students in this age group of 15-17 years old have strong self-care ability, and wait to study in Germany after straightening out, and then choose a younger age, including girls to study in Germany.

There is still a certain amount of controversy within East China, mainly because the other 100 students who went to study in Germany basically received the systematic education of East China, some of which began to study in Tianjin Hope School, and while learning cultural knowledge, East China has also continuously strengthened their sense of identity and loyalty to East China, including the families of these students, which are basically tied to East China, so these students are basically reliable.

But East China ** control Shanghai time is less than 3 years, although the original Shanghai in many modern schools, which were founded by the Qing court, there are also countries in the concession founded, so relative to this era of China's place, Shanghai's education level is far exceeded, East China ** after the rule of Shanghai, these educational resources were integrated, and soon established a relatively complete education system, but the time of receiving East China ** education is relatively short, and a solid foundation for East China ** has not been established The sense of identity and loyalty, and the families of these students and the Qing court, and even the countries are inextricably linked, so it is appropriate to select 20 students from Shanghai to study in Germany, and don't raise a group of white-eyed wolves at that time.

However, the Executive Yuan finally approved this resolution, because the situation of Shanghai is more special, it is now the highest level of modernization and the most economically developed area in East China except Qingdao, and the development potential will exceed Qingdao, plus Shanghai's education level is indeed very high, so it is completely necessary to give Shanghai a few places to study in Germany. As for worrying about raising a group of white-eyed wolves, it is not necessary, as long as East China maintains its development momentum and continues to grow stronger, there is no need to worry about someone betraying, even if there are a few white-eyed wolves, it will not affect the overall situation.

Although the Executive Yuan made the final decision, the specific candidates sent by Shanghai to study in Germany should not be sloppy, in addition to the need to carefully screen the students of appropriate age, and conduct a detailed investigation of the family origins of these students, all students who are close to the Qing court or foreign countries will basically not be selected this time. Although East China does not engage in such a thing as class origin, it is absolutely necessary to be politically qualified, because it is when East China has not ruled in Shanghai for a long time, and the selection cannot be carried out openly. Therefore, it did take a lot of effort to determine the final 20 study abroad places. Fortunately, studying abroad is not a sought-after thing in this era, and it has not caused any controversy.

In addition, there was a trade delegation to Germany, which consisted of a number of veterans engaged in business and entrepreneurship. In fact, in the state visit, take some business personnel to travel together, in the old time and space is a very common thing, in this era, although not common, but not very special, and East China and Germany economic and trade relations are very close, and continue to develop, at the beginning of the German visit to East China, but also brought a lot of German business people, so this return visit, East China also sent a trade delegation to accompany the trip, which is not only the courtesy of the residence, but also the actual needs of East China itself.

And now East China is engaged in business veterans have more than 1,000 people, basically the net worth has achieved more than 100,000 silver dollars, assets of more than 1 million silver dollars of the veterans have reached more than 100 people, on the one hand, the society and economy in East China are in rapid development, in this environment, it is relatively easy to succeed in business; on the other hand, East China ** also has a very superior policy support for the veterans engaged in business, so as long as you are willing to work hard, to achieve a net worth of hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, it is not too difficult.

Because the economic and trade relations between East China and Germany are very close, and the veterans engaged in business are people with international boundaries, knowing that it is not possible to only guard their own one-third of an acre, and they must set their sights on a broader market outside China, so this visit to Germany, the veterans engaged in business are very active, and finally 21 veterans participated in this visit, among the veterans engaged in business, the proportion of partnership entrepreneurship is very large, behind the 21 veterans, actually represents 7, 80 veterans. 21 veterans engaged in business, plus 27 veterans representing **, this visit to Germany, a total of 48 veterans, can also show the importance of East China ** to this visit.

Among the 21 German veterans engaged in business who participated in the visit, 12 basically or permanently settled in Shanghai, while 18 had operations in Shanghai, and only 3 had nothing to do with Shanghai.

In fact, this time East China** They also sent a request to local industrialists and businessmen to participate in the visit, but the local industrialists and businessmen, whether it was Sheng Xuanhuai or Zhang Jian, were not interested in this visit to Germany, and their eyes were always fixed on China's domestic market, and their economic contacts with foreign countries were limited to the purchase of machinery and equipment or high-tech daily necessities, and they had no ambition to open up overseas markets; second, they had no motivation; and Zhang Zhenxun wanted to participate in the visit, but first, Zhang Zhenxun was older, 66 years old, and it was difficult for him to withstand the turbulence of long-distance travel, and second, Zhang Zhenxun had already been selected as East China**The members of the first advisory board, of course, could not leave Qingdao to visit Germany at this time, and there was also Zhao Weizhong, who was in the same situation as Zhang Zhenxun.

At the same time, in this visit to Germany, East China has also added a new content, that is, cultural exchanges, which is not a project when Germany visited East China, but after this suggestion was put forward, it also had a positive response from the German side, because cultural exchanges often symbolize the relationship between the two sides to go further, and there have been many artists, writers, and thinkers in German history, creating a rich cultural heritage, and Europe in this era has two views on China, one is that China is an ignorant, backward, barbaric, The other viewpoint is that although China is indeed backward and ignorant, China, as a country with a long history and a glorious history, still has many merits in its history and culture, and there are even many things that Europe can learn from and study, and it is worthy of serious study.

In these two points of view, the former has always prevailed, because it was after the First Sino-Japanese War, the former view almost occupied an absolute advantage, but after the establishment of East China, it also greatly reversed Europe's contemptuous attitude towards Chinese civilization, because it was after the end of the Far East War, although European public opinion is still prejudiced and contemptuous of Chinese civilization, but in the academic community began to seriously study Chinese culture, Bi Jing This world is still a world where the winner is king, culture, Civilization is also dependent on the strength of the country, whose fist is big, whose gun is hard, whose culture has research value.

Germany is a European country that established good relations with East China earlier, so the perception of East China is stronger than other European countries, and at the same time, the attitude towards Chinese culture changes faster than other European countries.

On the contrary, in East China**, when this proposal was first put forward, it caused great controversy, far greater than the controversy over the 20 study places in Shanghai. The main reason is that since it is a cultural exchange, it is naturally the scholars who play the leading role, and the politicians can only stand aside. But among the veterans, there are a lot of engineers, and even some people can be regarded as scientists in this era, but there are not many people who can be called scholars, although some of the veterans have been keyboard warriors in the old time and space, and they have never recognized the cowardice when spraying on the Internet and others, but this kind of network spray is not on the table after all, not to mention cultural exchanges, you must know that this time you are facing the big names in the German cultural circles, if you can't hold the field, you will lose the face of East China.

In East China, Qin Zheng is probably the only one who can represent East China to carry out cultural exchanges with Germany as a scholar, but East China has long decided that Qin Zheng will not participate in this visit, so how can he carry out cultural exchanges with Germany without scholars! This is the core of the controversy.
