"Yes, I want to talk about the government's crisis management, and one last point." Joey said.

"Frankly, I would like to say that this is a double-edged sword, in the hands of good and upright people, it is a sword for the defense of Germany, but if it is taken by the bad people, it can become a tool for persecution of others." Joey threw out his own opinion first, without saying exactly what the principle was.

After Joey looked around at everyone, he said solemnly, "What I want to say is that among the government's crisis management principles, the patriotic principle. ”

"As I said earlier, the workers' strike is a right granted to them by the German Charter, and we can only treat it as a crisis, because after all, every worker is our fellow German."

"However, the motives of some strikes are not so simple, some people just want to use the strike movement to destroy Germany, and even behind the strikes there is an insurrection, and even in order to support the enemy country, they plan to organize strikes and insurrections in Germany." Joey thought of the famous November riots at the end of World War I in German history.

"Therefore, in the government's crisis management, we must carefully screen what workers' legitimate needs are, what is the enemy's infiltration, and we should respond sincerely, positively, and positively to the workers' legitimate needs, and for the enemy, those who incite riots, we can only ask the law to sentence them for treason, and let the law hang them."

"However, this principle is difficult to grasp, and the slightest inappropriateness may turn it into a tool for some careerists to deal with political opponents." Speaking of this, Joey remembered his previous life, that mustache's method of dealing with other political parties in Germany was to forcibly dissolve other political parties in the name of loving (German) national law, forming the final German fascist dictatorship.

"This patriotic principle that Joey said, I support, is that we should identify the organizers behind the strike, to distinguish between the legitimate demands of the workers and the infiltration of the enemy, and indeed not to be soft on the traitors, Jojo is worthy of being a child of the Hohenzollerns, there is no need to worry about any careerists, I am more worried about those who divide Germany." Prince Karl said loudly.

"I also agree with this principle of Qiaoqiao, which is to be wary of the so-called internationalization of certain ideas, if they don't even love their own home and country, I don't believe in their so-called class fraternity." Sir Gruson said meaningfully to the Crown Prince, "As for Jojo's concerns, I think we can rely on the power of media supervision, and as long as there is a righteous media force, there is no fear of careerists in Germany." ”

"Smack!" Prince August clapped his hands and shouted, "Then do it, I can't wait to practice this set of crisis management principles in Eisenach, I must find the best way to deal with crises, being an expert is much more interesting than being a prince!" ”

Joey and several adults present all laughed at Prince August, who was eager to try.

Amid the laughter, Sir Gruson promised Joey, "Jojo, I will go to Eisenach myself, and I will stay until the NEP is successful, as you have said, and I will go to each worker's house with the three professors and listen carefully to each of them." ”

"Herman, you promised me to stay in Berlin." The crown prince interrupted with some anxiety.

Sir Grusen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now Eisenach is the most important, it is about your new economic policy, can you have a good start, Fritz, you need to sit in Berlin, so only I can be your representative, I am the most suitable in Eisenach." ”

"I'll take you to Eisenach too, Hermann. At the police station in Eisenach, there are several of my old subordinates, and I will personally go to greet you. The "Blood Prince" Prince Karl still has a billowing murderous aura on his body.

"I'll ask my dad to set up a friendly staff, I'll arrange the media in Eisenach, and I'll have the office of the crisis response team, and I'll leave it to me, I can't wait!" An excited Prince August shouted.

"Will this cousin of mine be the originator of the German doctrine of crisis response? Judging by this enthusiasm and attitude, absolutely! Joey looked at Prince August with a grin and thought to himself.

"By the way, the arrangement of the media reminded me, take this opportunity to find some media that can cooperate? This matter must be discussed with Uncle Herman and Cousin Karl. Joey thought to herself.

Nagata Town, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Official residence of the Prime Minister (Prime Minister).

Okubo Toshitsu, one of the three heroes of the Meiji Restoration, passed away last year, and the political system now in practice in Japan is not the well-known system of responsibility for the prime minister, but still the Taizheng official system created by Kido Takayoshi in 1871 when he abolished the feudal domain.

The Minister of the Imperial Throne is equivalent to the prime minister of later generations, and there are ten departments under the main court, nine provinces and one envoy, the right court is the place where the chief (Shoqing) and vice minister (Daisuke) of the nine provinces and one envoy deliberate, and the left court is the legislature.

The weather in Tokyo was so cold in April this year that cherry blossom viewing in early April was postponed until the end of April, and now a cherry blossom tree is blooming in the middle of the official residence of the Prime Minister of Japan.

Hirobumi Ito, Minister of Minoru Sanjo, Minister of Iwakura Koto, and Hirobumi Ito, who had just taken over as Secretary of Internal Affairs, sat in the Japanese room with Foreign Secretary Muneri Terashima, and through a shoji door that was opened, the four of them admired the splendid cherry blossom trees in the courtyard.

After taking a deep breath, Minori Sanjo shattered the silence in the room, "It's a pity that such a beautiful day is disturbed by annoying government affairs. Terashima-kun, please tell the Minister Right and the Secretary of the Interior that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just received the news that the Qing Kingdom has just been received. ”

Originally, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was ranked first among the 10 departments of the Main Yuan, but during the era when Toshimichi Ohbokutsu was the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs became ranked first among the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and second among the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In the later years of Hirobumi Ito, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will lag behind the Ministry of Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the Imperial Household Ambassador. Therefore, the Terashima sect can only be aggrieved by the honorific title of the official rank of the dukes present.

"Two lords, sir. Minister Shishido-ji, who had just arrived in the Qing Dynasty to take up his post, received news from the Qing Dynasty that the Qing government was inviting ministers from various countries to demand a ruling on the Ryukyu issue between the Japanese and Qing countries in the name of international justice, and that Li Hongzhang, in the name of the Minister of Beiyang, invited the outgoing US President Grant to be a special envoy to mediate the relevant issues between the two countries. Terashima said with a bow.

Minoru Sanjo looked at Iwakura Gushi, who was folding the fan in his hand, and then looked at Hirobumi Ito, who was lying on the table and clothes, admiring the cherry blossoms outside the window, shook his head, and could only kick the ball back to Terashima Sonori first, "Terashima-kun, what does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs think about this matter?" ”

"Before General Saigo sent troops to the Ryukyus, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been preparing to declare war on the Qing Dynasty, but I really didn't expect that the Qing people also knew how to respond to the empire with public international law.

With a snap, Iwakura Gushi closed the folding fan in his hand, and said to Foreign Minister Terashima with a smile, "Terashima-kun, it's not all your fault, after all, Prime Minister Okuma and Chief of Staff of Yama Prefecture also supported the Navy Ministry's operation." With that, he opened the folding fan again, shook it in the cool weather of April, and looked at the dashing Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito with a smile.

Sanjo Minoru is an old monk who is settled and out of the matter, and said in his heart, "Cunning guy, knowing that the inner minister and the Tibetan minister are not in harmony, and deliberately provoking the inner minister, it seems that Okuma has offended too many people in the matter of selling official property." ”

Hirobumi Ito still looked up at the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard and stayed out of the way.

The four of them sat quietly for a long time, Sanjo was as beautiful as an old monk, Iwakura Gu looked at the folding fan in his hand and admired it over and over again, Ito Hirobumi still looked at the cherry blossoms in a chic manner, and finally knelt on the tatami mat Terarishima Mune couldn't hold it anymore at first, leaned over and said, "Sangong, staff headquarters Yama Prefecture...."

"What Shan Shan Jun means is that he is not sure that he will be able to win the Qing Kingdom now. Yamagu-kun's plan to learn from Prussia in the army and the navy from Britain has just begun, and it will take time for all this to happen, right? Hirofumi Ito's clear voice suddenly sounded.

"Yes." Terashima Sect bowed his head in response.

"In that case, why did Terashima-kun rush to hug the thighs of the military department? You are the person of Okuma Zoxiang, and the fact that a civilian official is so close to a soldier makes us very worried! Iwakura's grinning voice rang out.

The new tariff autonomy treaty signed between Japan and the United States at the end of last year was denied by Britain and Germany, and for the crucial extraterritoriality of Britain, the United States, Germany, France, and Austria-Hungary in Japan, Terashima Sonori adopted an attitude of avoiding the important and trivializing it, and tried to continue to maintain it.

Terashima's actions led to a large number of voices in the Meiji government forcing him to resign, and the people shouted that the country was punished by God.

Under pressure, or because Foreign Minister Terashima didn't want to be assassinated by that folk warrior in Japan, he went to hug the thigh of Chief of Staff Aritomo Yamagu, who was in the General Staff Headquarters, at the beginning of the year, and then went to support Saigo's dispatch of troops to the Ryukyus, hoping to exchange his tough stance of supporting the military offensive in exchange for the support of the people.

On the eve of Terashima Mune's support for Saigo's military expedition, also at the official residence of the Prime Minister, Iwakura Gushi and Ito Hirobumi both questioned him whether this move would cause international interference, and Terashima Mune's assurances were impossible, and even asserted:

"The Qing State will never have any reaction to Japan's actions, and a corrupt and stupid Qing government can only watch the Japanese take the Ryukyus smoothly."

In the end, he never wanted to be confused by the Qing state's diplomatic means of letting various countries preside over justice and adjudicate the Qing-Japanese conflict.

Japan at this time was not the Japan after the First Sino-Japanese War, and like its neighbors, it was also a country kicked open by gunboats, and then went through the Four Frontiers War, the Battle of Toba Fushimi, the North Vietnam War, the Hakodate War, and the Southwest War, and it can be said that from 1866 to 1877, Japan had a continuous civil war during these 11 years, and it also experienced the pain of a long civil war like its neighbors.

Like its neighbors, it was also bound by a series of unequal treaties between the British, the Americans, the French, the Germans and the Austrian-Hungarians, which was actually worse than the Qing Dynasty, at least at that time, the Qing Dynasty had not signed any unequal treaties with the Germans and Austria-Hungary, and the foreigners, and even the Qing people, enjoyed extraterritoriality in Japan at that time.

It can be said that before 1894, the sky in Japan was blue and clear for the Qing people.

Ito Hirobumi sat up straight, looked squarely at Foreign Minister Terashima and said, "Don't despise anyone, to despise others is to fool yourself, so please be sure not to despise the Qing country without capable people, the Qing people must be worse than Terashima-kun in diplomacy." ”

"We were promoting the Restoration in Japan, and there were people in the Qing Kingdom who were promoting Westernization. Although the path is different, but at the moment of success, no one can easily say that they must be right. ”

"Today's Japan does not yet have the capital to take risks, and our Restoration has just begun, so please calm down and develop Japan's economy, Japan's army, and Japan's education with all our hearts. Hirofumi Ito said unhurriedly.

"Bang Bang!" Iwakura Gushi tapped his palm with a folding fan and said to Terashima Sonori, "Ito-kun is the successor of Okubo-sama, and the fortunes of Japan should be in Ito-kun's hands, and Terashima's vision is the same as your diplomatic ability." ”

Immediately, Iwakura clapped his hands, and a closed shoji door was pushed open, and a person bowed in. Terashima looked up and saw that the person who came was the Senator of the Left House and Secretary of the Ministry of Works, Inoue Ken.

After Inoue bowed silently, he sat quietly at Terashima's hand, while Terashima's face turned snow-white.

"Terashima, the cabinet thinks that Inouue-kun is young and sharp-minded, and maybe he can make a difference in the position of foreign minister." After saying this, Minoru Sanjo looked at Foreign Minister Terashima without saying a word.

This sentence, according to Japanese tradition, is a euphemism to tell Terashima Munenori that you have been dismissed.

Terashima Sect had the heart to defend two more sentences, but looking at the expressionless faces of several bigwigs, he knew that it would be futile for him to do anything.

After a moment, Terashima actually leaned down and bowed, "Understood, my lord." Please allow me to hand in my resignation immediately. Then, with a lonely face, he bowed down and withdrew from the room.

"Inoue, you heard what you said just now, what are you going to do with this foreign minister?" Iwakura Gushi was still grinning, and asked the new foreign minister.

"Since the Qing Kingdom wants to follow the international axioms, then Japan can only follow the axioms." Inoue replied with a bow.

"What about the Ryukyus?" Hirobumi Ito asked softly.

"You can let it, but not all of it, otherwise the men of Kagoshima will be cold." Inoue replied calmly, "As long as you are here and Japan is still revitalizing, then what you lost today can be regained tomorrow." ”

"Well, knowing that the appropriate compromise is for greater progress, Foreign Minister Inoue, please contact the ministers of various countries as soon as possible." Hirobumi Ito said with a smile.
