Chapter 264: Culture Replaces Laughing and Talking in Dreams

The county seat of Lin'an County. Fang's compound, the headquarters of the Japanese army. Front yard living room.

Nakagawa Rongyi knew very well in his heart that Zhu Shiyao was a staunch person among the hundreds of millions of Chinese who resolutely resisted Japan to the end, and whatever he said and how Zhu Shiyao would not yield to cooperation, let alone bow his head and submit, but he wanted the people of the county town to see that he treated Zhu Shiyao with courtesy and invited him as a guest to discuss the great cause of friendship between Japan and China, coexistence and common prosperity, in fact, it was completely to cover up the secret execution of Zhu Shiyao a few days later, which can be described as sinister, mean-intentioned, and cunning.

Zong Hanichiro, who was sitting next to Nakagawa Eiichi, felt more relieved, and he thought that he invited Zhu Shiyao to negotiate again because Nakagawa Eiichi had changed his plan to execute Zhu Shiyao. He thought with satisfaction: This is undoubtedly the right thing to do, Zhu Shiyao is a cultural banner and a representative of intellectuals in the western Hebei region, and killing him will not do him any benefit in ruling the entire western Hebei region, but will arouse the great hatred and fierce resistance of the masses of the people. Sohan Ichiro couldn't help but admire the wisdom and strategy of Eiichi Nakagawa.

Nakagawa Eiichi and Sohan Ichiro, the two senior commanders of the Japanese army, thought of completely different things at this time.

Zhu Shiyao, who had never been in a limousine before, knew from the moment he got into the car that he was going to be lucky and that he would probably not return, perhaps in a way that the Japanese did to emulate a ritual similar to that of a Chinese condemned prisoner who eats a severed head before his execution. Zhu Shiyao didn't want to think about it anymore, he leaned over and looked at the street scene of the moving car and the pedestrians he knew or didn't know, he wanted to take one last look at the lovely but disaster-ridden hometown where his ancestors had been born and raised in Sri Lanka for generations, and his heart was full of sadness that his ambitions had not been rewarded.

Many pedestrians on the street knew Zhu Shiyao, and when they first looked at Zhu Shiyao sitting in a black luxury car with a Japanese plaster flag, they instantly hung their hearts and thought that their respected Principal Zhu had never returned.

After walking into the Japanese headquarters and sitting on the sofa, Zhu Shiyao's mind calmed down a lot, he knew that he could not avoid the disaster of killing his head, but it was better to face it generously, maintain the integrity of the Chinese and Chinese intellectuals, and not let the Japanese on the island underestimate the Chinese style of our big country. Zhu Shiyao probably knew in his heart that Nakagawa Eiichi had brought him here again and what he was going to talk about, it was nothing more than those useless nonsense that repeated the same old tunes. So, with a disdainful face, he couldn't help but say, I hope it's not a waste of time.

Nakagawa Eiichi didn't care about Zhu Shiyao's attitude and tone, he thought that there was no need to deal with a dying person who couldn't live for a few days. However, Zong Hanichiro was worried that Zhu Shiyao's attitude and tone would anger Eiichi Nakagawa? so that he will be killed.

"Principal Zhu, I still want to ask you a few questions and ask for help for one thing." Eiichi Nakagawa said politely.

"The co-captain doesn't have to be polite, please have something to say, please talk about something. It's just that I, the honorary principal, have limited ability, so I'm afraid I can't help you with anything, so please forgive me. ”

"I can't say that, I believe in your abilities. Principal Zhu, whether it is a time of war or peace, education is an important matter for the present and future of a country and a nation, and when the current war is still going on, we must not delay the children from going to school, this is the basic right that children should have, and we have no right to take it away. Therefore, I would like to ask Principal Zhu to organize the teachers and staff of the school and inform the students to come back and resume classes. Principal Zhu, this is not difficult for you, right? ”

"It's difficult, or impossible, to reopen school." Zhu Shiyao directly refused.

"Huh? Why? Please explain clearly. Nakagawa Eiichi asked unhappily.

"Captain, the brutal war has been fought for several years, the teachers and students in the school are gradually decreasing year by year, and there are many teachers and students who died and fled in the recent sweep, and now there are only a dozen teachers and seven or eight school workers left in the school, all of whom have not been paid salaries for several months, and the school buildings are dilapidated, desks, chairs, teaching aids, and experimental equipment and instruments have been stolen and damaged a lot, and more than 1,000 students do not know where they are. It's easier said than done. ”

"Principal Zhu, I have learned about what you said, and I saw it in the morning, and it is indeed a lot more difficult. However, it is difficult to delay the children's schooling and education. Difficulties are not a reason why schools cannot be reopened, but they can be solved. ”

"Captain, how can school start without teachers and students? How to solve the problem without money? ”

"Principal Zhu, I know that you are a responsible principal and teacher, and you can't bear to delay the students' studies. You should understand that if you have money, you can solve difficulties, and if money can solve difficulties, you will not be difficult. Is that so? Principal Zhu? ”

"Captain, what's the use of you not telling me such tongue twisters?"

"Of course it works. I have ordered the county government to fully afford all the future education expenses of the school, which must be allocated on a monthly basis, and that people should be sent to repair all the school's buildings, repair desks, chairs, and teaching aids, or purchase new ones. Principal Zhu, if you have any difficulties or problems in the future, you can go to the county government, or you can come to me directly. In a word, for the sake of children and education, the government and the imperial army will spare no effort and go all out to deal with it. ”

"Oh, you can solve these difficulties with money. Captain, the problem of lack of teachers has been solved, but how can classes start without students? ”

"Principal Zhu, no matter how many students can be retrieved, school must be opened. I am confident that students will come back to class one after another, and those who return to school within a month will be exempted from tuition and accommodation fees for one year. ”

"Well, that's a pretty good condition. Captain, in fact, you don't need to tell me if school starts at all, who dares not to start school? Haven't you already appointed the Executive Principal of Japan? I'm just the principal emeritus. ”

"The honorary president is also the president, and this does not mean that you are removed or suspended. President Zhu, there is no change in your authority, duties, salary and treatment, and the Japanese executive principal is only an assistant to assist you in your work, which can show that Japan and China are working closely together to participate in the grand event of education. ”

"Oh? There's a gimmick for this? ”

"No, no, no. President Zhu, what Captain Nakagawa said is not a gimmick. Our plan is to establish a model security zone of goodwill, coexistence and co-prosperity between Japan and China in western Hebei, and the first step will start with the resumption of classes in county middle schools. When the children are stable, their families will be stable, and if each family is stable, the entire western Hebei region will be stable, and a stable situation of peace and friendship will naturally emerge. Sohan Ichiro explained.

"That's right, what Zong Hanjun said is completely correct. Principal Zhu, in order to facilitate communication and speed up mutual understanding, students must learn Japanese, Japanese and Japanese culture after the start of the school year. ”

"Well, I get that. The occupiers will inevitably enforce the culture of the invader's own country in the area under their domination, which is a cultural infiltration, a cultural invasion. I heard that you Japanese troops did this after they invaded and ruled the island of Taiwan, and asked every Chinese to give a Japanese name. This kind of Japanese practice of yours will not work in Chinese mainland at all. The 5,000-year-old culture of our great China is deeply rooted and solid, and it cannot be replaced by any culture brought by the invaders, and besides, your Japanese and Japanese cultures from China cannot be replaced. The once powerful Mongols and Manchus ruled China for hundreds of years without doing it, how can you Japanese do it? ”

"Hmph. President Zhu, what other countries and nations can't do, I, the Yamato nation, and the Japanese Empire can definitely do. Nakagawa Eiichi said with a sneer and arrogance.

"Hmph. It's just a joke, it's just a joke. Zhu Shiyao said with a sneer.
