Chapter 6: The Feminist Movement

As soon as he entered the cocktail party, Yang Du found Mr. Yue Leissel from Russia.

Now that China's international environment has basically returned to normal, there is only a slight variable in its relations with the Russians. Although the armistice has been signed, all the countries in the world know that Nicholas II is not convinced by the defeat this time. Suffice it to say that the Russians did not expect a war with the whole of China when they started the war, and they only used one of their palms at first, and then followed by an arm.

They fought with the strength of one arm, and Nicholas II always felt that he could not use all his strength. The reason why Russia was willing to stop the war was that Britain and France needed him to pause.

The agreement was signed, but there are still many problems that need to be resolved. The captured Russian soldiers need to be saved, and even if Lao Maozi no longer takes the lives of the soldiers seriously, it is impossible for them to live in China.

Yue Resel was also planning to find Yang Du, and he had a very important issue to negotiate with Yang Du. The Russians had already sent investigators to the POW camps, and they felt something strange about the situation there.

The Russians have been losing wars in recent years, so they have talked with many countries about the issue of prisoners, including the last time he came to Beijing, he also exchanged prisoners with the Chinese side.

At that time, the situation was normal, and the captured soldiers were very excited when they saw the appearance of the Russians, and the generals hurried to report to the Russian side about the situation of their troops, which regiment they belonged to, how many people were still there, what their names were, and whether they had been mistreated in the prisoner camp.

But this time, the situation inside the prisoner camp looked a little weird! What's weird? The first is that some of the soldiers were not friendly to the investigators sent by the Russian side, which was very unusual. They were reluctant to cooperate with the investigators in some work, and when the investigators asked them if the Chinese were abusing them, many of them replied that it was the evil Tsar and those reactionary officers who abused them!

And then there were the officers, and the investigator sent a telegram to Yue Leisel saying that he was sure that these officers must have suffered some extreme injustice! Because these officers did not dare to speak in front of them. Many of the tough guys who were previously known in the army had tears on their faces when they met the investigators.

The officers seemed to have a lot to say, but they were all looking at the faces of some of the soldiers around them. The investigators also found General Akpolil, who fought to the last moment for the honor of Russia's country, and when questioned by the investigators, he only said lightly: "Don't ask the child!" If you still have a conscience, get out of here now, and don't open the cap for a bunch of devils coming out of hell! ”

Even General Kilensky was extremely opposed to this operation to deal with the prisoners, and the investigators really did not know what they were talking about. The next day, he wanted to see these two generals, but found that these two generals did not say anything, and there was an extra group of Russian soldiers who took care of their lives by their side.

In short, the situation is not quite right. And it seems to be a problem between the Russians, and the investigator asked Mr. Yue Resel to negotiate in Beijing. See if the Chinese can give them the time and power to investigate deeply.

Yue Leisel really wanted to ask Yang Xiaolin what was going on with the Russians there, but before he could speak, Yang Du first issued a solemn warning to the Russian side.

"Ministers, I have a little bad news to state here, just this morning, we had an escape from a prison in Mongolia, and the Russian Lieutenant General Stessel, who was imprisoned by us, and the Mongolian Jebtsundamba escaped from the prison with more than 3,000 people, and at present, the Chinese side is pursuing them with all their might."

The reporters were really excited. I really didn't expect that there would be unexpected news revelations on this occasion.

Immediately, a voice asked, "Minister Yang, I want to ask what is the reason for this incident?" As far as I know, China and Russia have begun negotiations on the issue of prisoners of war, and if the Russians risk their lives to escape at this time, will they be treated unfairly? ”

Yang Du followed the sound and looked. It was a French journalist who spoke. He smiled slightly: "The specific reason is under investigation, and the attitude we are conveying to you now is that the Chinese side is extremely angry about this prison escape, and we say that we must recapture all these escapees." I hope that all countries in the world will not stand on the opposite side of China in this matter. ”

Of course, the so-called countries of the world are just one word, and except for the Russians, other countries can't help if they want to. As soon as Yang Du's words fell, a lot of flashes began to shine on Yue Raycel's body.

Yue Resel stepped forward and said, "I'm here to declare. We in Russia have no knowledge of this incident. At the same time, we will strictly abide by international practices and will not do anything that should not be done on Chinese soil. In addition, I hope that the Chinese side will conduct a detailed investigation of some of the conditions in the prisoner camps and give a reasonable explanation, because the Russian side believes that there are quite a big problem with the Chinese prisoner camps set up in Mongolia. ”

Yang Du seemed to want to distinguish something with Mr. Yue Ressell, but Yang Xiaolin interrupted him at this time: "Okay, Mr. Yue Ressell, please rest assured, we will definitely investigate the problem you said, and I hope that Russia can abide by your promise." That's all for today, we are here today to celebrate the victory, to share peace, and I hope this episode will not affect everyone's interest today. ”

Mr. Sa Daoyi obviously didn't want to continue this topic, and when he heard Yang Xiaolin say this, he hurriedly walked over: "That's right, maybe peace is short-lived, but because of this, we should cherish it doubly." ”

After he finished speaking, he was very gentlemanly and stretched out his hand to Yuan Zhongzhen, who came with Yang Xiaolin: "Madam, can you please dance?" ”

On such occasions, Yang Xiaolin usually brought Yuan Zhongzhen here, because compared to Shen Dan, she was indeed more adaptable. Yuan Zhongzhen smiled and stretched out his hand to Sa Daoyi and walked off the dance floor with him. The music started immediately, and Yang Xiaolin turned his head to see where Mr. Mu Mo was, but he didn't expect that the first person to come to him was not Mu Mo, but Lao Yuan.

Lao Yuan's face was a little not good-looking, and his eyes were staring at Yuan Zhongzhen, who was dancing on the dance floor: "Xiaolin, why don't you let her come in a dress?" ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't react for a while: "Isn't she wearing a dress?" That's the Western dress. ”

Lao Yuan snorted: "Western dresses are also orthodox with long skirts, and pants like her are only worn by some low-level people who have no status at the ball." You should take care of her. It's been a bit of a bit of a bit of a conversation when she's been back for a few days. ”

Yang Xiaolin really didn't know what to say. What Lao Yuan said is not very similar is because Yuan Zhongzhen is engaged in the feminist movement. Yang Xiaolin doesn't agree with feminism very much, men, few approve. But now women's rights are really starting to take off.

China has fought for a year, nearly a million boys have shed their blood on the battlefield, and many more have abandoned their families to join the army. In the countryside and in the city, for more than a year, it was the women who carried the burden of life on their shoulders, ploughing the fields like men and setting up stalls like men. Working in factories and shops, just to support their families, and even some men used to do manual work that they found a little tiring, and they did not hesitate to pick it on their shoulders.

When men used their lives to support the country, they used their bodies to support their families. The life of fighters at the front is hard, and their wives need courage and perseverance even more in the rear.

After the war, the tired men went home, and the women were really happy that their husbands were back, but they then found out. When the men came back, they suddenly seemed to have nothing to do, and left their stalls again, and went back to the kitchen, back to the kind of women who should stay at home. Not showing one's head is the state of virtue.

This contrast really makes them a little uncomfortable. The main thing is that in this year or so they have proven one thing to everyone, there are jobs they can do, and they do it better than men!

Many bosses also extended extended invitations to female workers for some time before. You should come back to work, especially in Beijing, and you will know it when you look at the hotel. In the past, the second child was all male, but now it is basically all female.

Although the female workers are not as physical as the men, they are delicate, and the women serve tea and water to the guests, and the guests are also comfortable. On top of that, they have low wages!

In this way, the inner unwillingness and the needs of society make many women not want to live the same life as before, they want to work like men, and want to support their families like men. Not for anything else, just to make your life more fulfilling.

Don't think that women's rights pursued equality between men and women from the beginning, and that slogan was also shouted after many years of tempering, and now women's rights are specific to women's desire for a job and a chance to prove themselves.

Commander Yang knew about this, just like he didn't stop Yuan Shikai from respecting Kong, he wouldn't stop Yuan Zhongzhen from making a fuss about women's rights. Seeing Lao Yuan's angry appearance, he understood a little in his heart, the father and daughter were destined to win or lose, because for Confucius's set, the impact of women's rights seemed to be much more violent than democracy.

Mr. Sun failed to break through Yuan Shikai's defense, I don't know if Miss Lu Dao can do it?

Speaking from the heart, although Commander Yang does not approve of the development of women's rights to the 21st century, the current female compatriots really should be respected.

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Yuan Gong, I really can't control her, why don't you take care of it for me?" ”

Lao Yuan glared at him fiercely, didn't say anything, turned his head and left.

There are so many things going on in China now, society is changing, and many new trends of thought are beginning to appear, some are right and some are wrong, and there are also a group of people like Lao Yuan who defend traditions.

Yang Xiaolin does not want to let himself be entangled in these things, his task is to develop China, as he said to reporters when he came back this time, the government's first task is to ensure the right to live at the lowest level.

Let China develop and let the people live a better life. Feminist? Democracy? He's not going to stop it.

To some extent, he will defend those orthodoxy with Yuan Shikai, of course, the orthodoxy that he feels should defend. Defending because he agrees, but when doing this, he is Yang Xiaolin, only one of the 400 million Chinese, and he will not use the power in his hands.

In fact, he really didn't lie to Chen Tianhua, he kept telling Chen Tianhua that when our people want democracy, we will be democratic. It's the same now, if the majority of people want democracy, he will never stop it. If it is true that most women want to come out and work, and there are people who want to use them, then let them work. (To be continued......)
