1. Exchange students of the Ming Empire
Far East Heian-Jingming Imperial International Student Residence
It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and the night is low and the stars are shining, and the large farmlands and shantytowns outside the capital of Ping'an have long been silent, and at most there are only two or three flickering kerosene lamps.

Originally, there was a dance party, which could be seen from the crisp suits and gorgeous dresses of the international students present.
"Wake up, there's big news!"
A young man who looked like an international student pushed his friend who had fallen asleep beside him.
"Hah! I'm out of the awe-mm, what's wrong..."
It seems that the young man with glasses, who has just escaped from his dream, notices that there is something wrong with the atmosphere around him.
"Brother Ruike, sometimes I envy your mentality of not changing color before the collapse of Mount Tai." His friend sighed: "I just got the news that I have entered the war tomorrow." β
"Went to war, what went to war?" Ming Guo's international student Bu Ban Brick (the word Ruike) looked confused, "-You... You mean?! β
"yes, it's the war we laughed at a while ago that 'the Europeans are going crazy again' - well, you can listen to it too, after all, it still has something to do with us international students."
Breek's friend, Quan Songhua, who was born in Hamgyong Mansion in the Ming Empire, pointed to the middle-aged man on the stage and said.
"Isn't this Mr. Yat-sen, who has been practicing industry to save the country? He's here too? Brick asked, confused.
"That's the news he brought."
Kwon replied.
β... The Ottoman, Prussian, and Ming Triple Alliance was formed, and in opposition to Britain, Bourbon, and Poland, it could not only give full play to the invincible Pacific Fleet of our Ming Dynasty, but also enable the army to assemble in Siberia Province to attack Prussia in the posture of attacking Poland..."
Mr. Yat-sen, who was standing on the stage, was impassioned, and it didn't take long for him to mobilize the enthusiasm of the international students who were not deeply involved in the world.
"United Nations Aid Austria, punish France and Britain!"
"United Nations Aid Austria, punish France and Britain!"
"Kyiv is the Kiev of our Chinese nation!"
"Kyiv is the Kiev of our Chinese nation!"
When the crowd was in turmoil, the door of the mansion was rudely pushed open. Two men in the uniforms of the Far Eastern Gendarmerie walked in, followed by a beautiful man in a men's suit.
ββ¦β¦ Who is it? β
Seeing that a stranger was coming uninvited, Sun Yat-sen stopped his speech.
"It seems to be Kurose of the special high-tech... I remember last time..."
There are also well-informed people whispering down there.
"Ahem..."The woman coughed lightly at first, and then said, "All the international students of Mingguo, there is something I want to inform you..."
She paused deliberately, squinted her eyes and looked around at the young people and reacted: "Far East, oh no... It has now been renamed Sakurafu. Sakura Prefecture has officially announced its entry into the war-"
"On the side of the Entente."
She smiled and left the residence with two gendarmes.
A week has passed since the students of the Ming Kingdom learned that "Iaki" and "You Sakura" announced their participation in the war at the same time, and that they were also joining the allies and the Entente on both sides.
Breke also spent the week in a state of confusion, not only being silent at school, but also having little communication with the others after returning to the International Student Residence. While the others didn't think he was going to have a big deal, they were just as surprised by his gloomy face and furrowed brows.
His classmate, also as an exchange student of the Ming Empire, was from Vasili in Yaro Province. Blyukhel is one of them.
"What's wrong with you these two days? Cheer up! The stout friend, who had been born on the banks of the Don and had blond hair like a lion's mane, patted him on the back and said with an intoxicated or fanatical look, "What is there to be frustrated about just joining the war, this is a rare opportunity to seize the land under the sun when the world has been divided... Ah--I seem to be able to hear the cries of the wind-swept Cossacks coming up and down in my steppe-"
He looked around to make sure that there were no students from the Far East who were paying attention to them, and then lowered his voice and said, "And the Pacific Fleet will definitely defeat these young people in the Far East and bring them into our territory again." β
"Oh... You're really worthy of your Rus' identity..."
"Banzhuan, why are you so mother-in-law, you don't look like a man at all."
Blyukhel asked by his first name, a little angrily.
"Can you please trouble not talking to me now." Brecke replied feebly, "You think I don't want to talk?" I've had an inexplicable toothache lately - I don't have tooth decay. β
"Haha, maybe it's something I did before."
"What if I'm going to have good luck, like a soft girl from the sky or something."
"Damn... You're thinking about it. Blyukhel suddenly changed his words and said worriedly, "I think this lesson is almost over..."
Since joining the war, the already unharmonious relationship between these Ming exchange students and the students from the Far East has suddenly dropped below freezing, and many of them either do not come to school or even simply return to China by boat, and there are very few people who insist on coming to class like these two.
Soon, Mr. Fujino, who was standing on the podium, saw that he had completed the expected teaching task, so he picked up the lecture notes and leftβof course, this did not affect the exchange students, who had long been detached from studying, and some of them continued to sit in their seats and talk about the previous topics, while others packed up and prepared to return to their rented apartments.
"Is it time to go home... I thought that coming to the Far East would broaden my horizons than in China. β
Seeing the situation in front of him, Blyukhel couldn't help but be a little depressed: "It would have been good if I had chosen to study in Prussia at that time, I heard that Great Prussia has the world's first technology, and there will be spare parts wrapped in oiled paper in the sewers?" β
"That's an exaggeration... But I think I'd just go back to China. Breke shook the magic mechanics textbook in his hand and said, "The strongest thing in the extreme east is their conversion moment, which can convert the biological energy in the pulverized coal into magic energy with a small loss, and it is almost on par with the level of those advanced magic workers in the west." β
"Didn't you say that the Bourbon Faryi dog thieves privately transferred the technology?"
"Who knows.... Forget it, let's go back to the apartment first, so we have to finish this semester. β
"Yes."
As soon as the two of them walked downstairs to the apartment, they saw a group of people surrounding the door, noisily not knowing what to say, and there were even a few people in uniform mixed in.
"Hey, that's the gendarme, right?"
Thinking of the events of the previous day, Brick instantly had a little foreboding. But before they could walk over, several gendarmes tried to forcibly push everyone away, and they could vaguely see two gendarmes dragging a desperate struggler.
"This person is suspected of being a spy, and if you obstruct it again, you will be punished according to the same crime!"
One of them, who looked like an officer, pulled out a pistol and fired into the sky, and when he saw the group of students cower and disperse a little, he squeezed out of the crowd with the rest of the gendarmes.
"Hey, isn't the person they're holding on to your friend Kwon Sohwa?" The sharp-eyed Blyukhel recognized the identity of the arrested man: "Espionage? It's ridiculous, these Far Easterners are so deceitful - hey, wait! β
- At the very least, ask what is going on.
Brick thought as he ran.
Unfortunately, the black sedan ignored his wishes and took his friend away.
