Chapter Ninety-Nine, Admissions
The first major event of the Far East in 1904 was not the Tokyo Trial, but the establishment of Nanyang University, which had a profound impact on later generations.
Don't look at the fact that the university has just had a name, and the school location, teachers, and rules and regulations have not been determined, but this still does not change the fact that Nanyang University has caused a sensation in Asia.
In this era of the most confused thinking, the worship of foreign countries has also been pushed to the peak, and in the eyes of many people, the moon in Europe is exceptionally round.
Especially after William personally endorsed it as a prince, the impact was even greater. Before the enrollment officially began, there was already an endless stream of people consulting and registering, and it once affected the normal office of several embassies in the Far East.
For no other reason, it was simply because William inadvertently revealed at a cocktail party: Nanyang University will open its enrollment in Asia and will not restrict countries and nationalities.
There is no way to do this, although there are many people in the Austrian South Seas, but the high-quality students have gone to China.
As a colony of the Holy Roman Empire, there are still many benefits, such as higher education, which can enjoy a certain amount of care.
According to the proportion of citizens to the population, major universities in China give the minimum number of students admitted to the Austrian Nanyang region every year.
The education model is also a copy of the local system, and the textbooks are uniformly compiled by the Ministry of Education except for the local geography that allows for some changes.
From elementary school to university, there is a proportional admission system. Theoretically, all HRE citizens have the same right to education.
Of course, this is limited to free education provided by the government. If you are studying at your own expense, you naturally do not need to be subject to admission restrictions.
Educational resources are very valuable in these years, and it is good to study in primary and secondary schools at your own expense, but once you reach the university level, the tuition fee is in tens of thousands.
Don't say that it is an ordinary person, even a small aristocrat and a petty bourgeoisie, who cannot afford such expenses.
According to the statistics of the Vienna government, more than 98 percent of the students recruited by HRE regular universities each year pass the entrance exam, and less than 2 percent actually spend money to go to school.
No matter how much William shouted, it still couldn't change the fact that Nanyang University was a pheasant university. The others who fooled could not deceive the aristocrats, capitalists, and middle class within the HRE.
Although the colonial government will tilt resources towards Nanyang University, the problem of insufficient faculty cannot be solved overnight.
Everyone is realistic, especially when it comes to the issue of children's education, and the German nation likes to be more serious. The quality of education is not good, even if the prince is out of the horse, it is not good.
Of course, William was not prepared to retain these students who returned to study in his homeland. After all, misleading people are too hateful.
The family business is in the Austrian Nanyang, even if they return to their home country to study, a large number of people will return to the Nanyang area in the future, these are high-quality talents.
The purpose of establishing a university is to cultivate talents, and as long as it can provide talents for the Nanyang region, it does not matter where they are cultivated.
In order to retain local students, we can wait for the faculty of Nanyang University to go up, and the most important thing at this stage is to lay a good foundation.
If the quality of its own education is not good, if the students are not good, it will really become a pheasant university. In this context, it is also necessary to recruit Mr. from all over Asia.
If it weren't for the lack of influence and the lack of attraction to European and American students, William would have been ready to recruit students from all over the world.
Of course, the main reason why Nanyang University is so attractive in Asia is because of its military majors.
Different from parallel goods in other professions, the military professional faculty is still sufficient, whether it is a retired fiefdom nobleman or a high-ranking officer in the active army, they have all been pulled over by William to take up their posts.
The navy, army, and air force have all 17 generals, and they are definitely the most platoon in Asia.
Although it is impossible for these people to come to class every day, the teachers of the school are also masters who have graduated from domestic military schools and have been on the battlefield.
Maybe there is a lack of experience, but after running in, it is still qualified compared to ordinary military schools in China.
This is enough, and the purpose of the military major itself is to support the scene and attract Asian students.
Having been in the South Seas for so long, William also knows a lot about the situation in Asia.
For international students from Asian countries, the first choice of major is military affairs, followed by economics and literature majors, and relatively few students study medicine, science and engineering.
In a sense, this is also a good thing for Nanyang University. Compared with the rigor of medicine, science and engineering, the subjects of literature and economic theory are obviously much easier to fool.
……
Commissioner for Education Sanchez: "Your Highness, this is the site selection and planning plan of Nanyang University. ”
Without exception, Nanyang University's final location was Sulawesi, less than 30 kilometres from the Governor's Palace.
The plan is also copied from the structure of the University of Vienna, but with a lot of fewer buildings, which is considered decent.
After flipping through it, he didn't find any major problems, William directly took up the pen and signed the name on the document, and said slowly: "Organize the construction as soon as possible, and strive to complete the construction of the main project by the end of the year, so as to catch up with the enrollment of new students next year." ”
It can be seen that William is still satisfied with the planning of the Education Department. Decent means "stable", and William, who is over forty years old, has long passed the age of being in the limelight.
What's more, even if the design of Nanyang University is shocking, what is the use? He is the boss in the Nanyang region, and no one is watching it at all!
You can't be unconventional, just to send a few pictures back to China to show off, right?
Of course, if you want to return to China early to be a rice borer, this is indeed a good way.
Director of Education Sanchez immediately assured: "Your Highness, please rest assured that we have hired the best construction team and will be able to complete the construction of the main project by the end of the year." ”
After a pause of more than ten seconds, Sanchez added: "Your Highness, this time we are recruiting students from all over Asia, and the students are all from all over the world, and many of them have to travel for months.
In order to ensure that the new students can successfully enroll next year, do you think the enrollment work can be started in advance?
After all, there are many students who are interested in signing up now, which has brought great trouble to our screening work. Start earlier to give you more time to prepare. ”
The reality is only getting worse. Recruiting more than 1,000 people from all over Asia, not to say one in a thousand, but a scene of one in a hundred miles will definitely appear.
Although the Education Department has rich experience in recruitment, this is the first time that this kind of cross-country and cross-regional recruitment has been encountered.
William nodded: "The enrollment work, your Education Department will look at it!" I only have one request, to recruit as many people as possible, but not to recruit anti-Austrian elements. ”
Political correctness always comes first, and no exception can be made anywhere. The Holy Roman Empire was relatively tolerant of new ideas.
Of course, the main reason is that the country is strong enough to have enough confidence in its own country to withstand the impact of new ideas.
……
Tokyo, with the end of the international trial, is once again exuding vitality as a new cosmopolitan metropolis.
The Japanese people were not knocked down by a single trial, and the biggest consequence of the international trial was that the anti-Russian sentiment among the Japanese people was further rising.
In order to alleviate its own pressure, the Japanese government has also set up a special "National Shame Day," which is said to commemorate the "heroes" who died in the Russian embassy case.
Don't say that the Russians couldn't stand it, and even the legation was angry. The "heroes" who were sentenced to death by the international tribunal are clearly slapping everyone in the face.
——————
It's just that the legation has been divided, and the two leaders of Britain and HRE have already done it, so they don't have time to worry about this little problem.
The two big hooligans not only did not come forward to stop it, but instead added fuel to the flames and fanned the flames, contributing to provoking the Russo-Japanese war.
The reason why "Yangmou" is terrible is because even if it is recognized, things will still happen.
This is the case with the current Russo-Japanese conflict, and knowing that Vienna and London have bad intentions, the governments of Japan and Russia can only bite the bullet.
Especially for the Japanese government, it has been forced into a wall. Any concession made now would amount to chronic suicide.
With the current relationship between Japan and Russia, once the Trans-Siberian Railway is opened, it will be the end of the Japanese Empire.
In a sense, the pressure on the Japanese government is greater now than it was in the original time and space.
One more Philippine war has made the Tokyo government's pockets poorer, and its overall national strength is one or two points weaker than that of the same period in history.
In contrast, the Russian Empire was different. Although the comprehensive national strength has not increased much, the size on the bright side is even bigger!
the Baltic line occupied Prussian Poland; The central part occupied Constantinople, and the Black Sea directly turned into an inland sea of the Russian Empire, and its tentacles once penetrated deep into the Mediterranean; The southern front occupies most of Afghanistan, and the border line is on the verge of overthrowing India.
The entire Russian Empire is fatter than the original time and space, and if it weren't for the strong rise of the HRE, it is estimated that the entire European world would have trembled under the gears of the steamroller.
In the face of such an adversary, it is impossible for the Japanese Government to say that it is not panicking. If it had not been for the outbreak of the Russian embassy case, the Japanese Government would really not have been able to make up its mind to fight the Russians to the death.
It's a pity that there is no if in reality, with this fuse, coupled with the past contradictions and conflicts between Japan and Russia, this war has become inevitable.
Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge knows that the smell of gunpowder in Tokyo is so strong that it is clearly a precursor to the outbreak of war.
Although he did not go to the door of the Russian embassy to protest again, the anti-Russian movement was in full swing, and even the international students were not able to hide from it.
"Eat a trench, grow a wisdom".
After the previous lessons, the students in Japan of the Far Eastern Empire also learned that they were no longer enthusiastic about participating in anti-Russian activities.
However, no matter how much they refused, they could not stand the perseverance of Japan's "friends". This makes many people who are accustomed to the world very uncomfortable.
The Russians are known to be strong, and almost no one, except for the Japanese themselves, is optimistic about them.
Even if the Japanese government presents itself as the light of Asia and the hope of Asia, it will not change the inherent image in everyone's mind.
Standing with the loser, the sequelae are very serious, just put yourself in, I'm afraid that I will lose money with the family.
Everyone has seen how vengeful the hairy bear is.
Needless to say, a felony sentenced to death must have seen God; The most shocking thing is that the thousands of people who have been sentenced to exile in Siberia have now received bad news from their families.
If you don't participate, it's really unfavorable. In a foreign country, if you want to survive, you can't do without the help of friends.
Many people have received help from Japanese classmates during their study abroad careers, although it is only a small favor, but they still owe a favor.
For young students, righteousness is greater than heaven. Often when people are encouraged to say a few words, the IQ is not online.
If it weren't for the previous events that stimulated everyone, it is estimated that it would be the same as the original time and space, and a group of international students were fooled into being cannon fodder.
Now they are sober, but after refusing, everyone suddenly finds that their situation is suddenly embarrassing.
Because of his excellent performance in the last incident, Li Boan unknowingly became the backbone of international students, and everyone likes to come over to discuss things.
"Brother Bo'an, the situation is not good! Ever since we refused to participate in the anti-Russian movement, we have been isolated at school, and our Japanese friends have left us one by one.
Even where we live, we are often harassed by hooligans, and the police in Tokyo don't care about it at all.
If we continue like this, I'm afraid we will have to end our studies early and return to China......"
Li Bo'an has heard similar complaints more than once. Even himself, he was ostracized at school. It's just that he has a good mentality and can resist these pressures.
"Brother Liu, the purpose of the Japanese is very obvious, it is nothing more than that the Russo-Japanese War is imminent, and they need allies to share the pressure.
The real purpose of wooing us is to pull the imperial court into the water and participate in the war against Russia through us.
It's just that the Japanese don't know what the situation is in the imperial court, so can we still not know?
If we really don't know whether to live or die and get involved, once the Japanese are defeated, those of us who support them, Russia will not liquidate afterwards?
Once the Russians threaten with force, do you think they can withstand the pressure in the style of the imperial court?
I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will not only be our own bad luck, but we will also implicate the family behind us. Compared to this, the fact that we are being wronged now is nothing at all.
If you really can't get by, it's a big deal to leave Japan. Anyway, Nanyang University is about to admit students, and even if we can't get in, we can choose to pay for it. ”
There is no doubt that these things are not the ideas of international students themselves. I haven't experienced enough social beatings, and everyone's associations are not so rich.
It is obvious that these ideas can be widely circulated among international students, and it is obvious that someone is also fueling the troubles.
The purpose is self-evident, Nanyang University is about to open its doors, and it needs more high-quality students, so it is natural to grab it with its peers.
Anyway, there are no universities in Japan in the real sense these days, including the University of Tokyo, which is only a pheasant university in the world, and the faculty is very average.
In recent years, most of the high-tech has been monopolized by Europe, and the entire Asian region has been blank for important scientific research projects and scientific and technological innovations.
Although the Japanese are trying, it is only an effort. Talent and infrastructure are all not in place, and it is naturally not an overnight thing to catch up with the world's advanced level.
This is one of the reasons why Nanyang University is able to attract countless people to apply as soon as it enrolls students.
