872 Presumption of innocence
After a day of visit, Henry gained more knowledge about the Junma Affiliated School. It was ridiculous. Although Li Mu paid the Junma Affiliated School through Henry, this was the first time that Henry had seriously understood everything about the Junma Affiliated School. Henry didn't care about Junma Affiliated School before, but because of his respect for Lisa, Henry would not get involved in Lisa's field.
There shouldn't be a gap between husband and wife. Sometimes some behaviors that seem to respect each other will actually extend the distance between husband and wife. This degree is difficult to grasp. Henry did not do well in the past, but there is still a chance to remedy it.
During dinner, there were only Henry and Lisa in the family in Lakeside Town. Their children were studying at Springfield Institute of Technology. The eldest daughter Sofia will graduate next year. There is no doubt that Sofia will work at the headquarters of the Junma Group and will not be less important than Ray Gavin and Li Jeff.
"Any educational model will have problems. Of course, there are also Junma Affiliated Schools, but compared to those public schools and church schools, Junma Affiliated Schools are quite perfect. Even the enrollment model criticized by many people cannot be completely eliminated in public schools and church schools. Do black children have the opportunity to receive education in public schools? No! By the same token, church schools will also reject all heresy. Most of the students in Junma Affiliated Schools are indeed Chinese, but they are Americans first, which is enough." Lisa was still chattering while eating. Today, visiting Junma Affiliated Schools touched Henry a lot, and it was even more sad for Lisa. Lisa is now eager to return to New York and return to the medical school she founded.
In recent years, influenced by Li Mu and other Chinese, the dining table at Henry's house has also changed a lot. In the past, there was at most traditional toast and bacon, but now there is an extra steamed fish. Henry just caught from the Connecticut River in the afternoon. It is very good to eat fish for dinner, rich in nutrients, and does not accumulate fat. Henry hired a Chinese chef and his fishing skills are very good.
Henry ate this meal very painfully. Many people say that a woman is equal to five hundred ducks, and a woman who chatters constantly has the ability to make noise is basically equivalent to a thousand ducks, and perhaps more than that, which makes Henry really unbearable.
"I didn't say that Junma Affiliated School is not good. On the contrary, Junma Affiliated School is so good that it attracts attention. Can't you be more low-key? I used to think that your funds were not enough. Today, there seems to be absolutely no problem in this regard. I wonder if you have noticed that the restaurant at noon and the student meals at Junma Affiliated School are better than the working meals customized by Junma Group headquarters. No matter who sees them, they will have opinions." Henry no longer denies the role and value of Junma Affiliated School. Even if he denies it, it is useless. The luxury of Junma Affiliated School is well known. So many visitors have long presented the true situation of Junma Affiliated School to the world.
The United States in the 19th century is still incomparable to the United States in the 21st century. There are still many people in the United States who have not solved the problem of food and clothing, and the gap will be infinitely magnified. In many poor areas, even hard-working adults cannot fill their stomachs. There are many such news in Time magazine, so so many people are jealous of the affiliated schools of the Horse.
"Do you think anyone can visit the Junma Affiliated School now? If it were someone else today, they wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the affiliated school." Lisa also realized this problem, so the Junma Affiliated School is now in an absolutely closed state, and it is not something that anyone wants to visit. As long as the Junma Affiliated School does not agree, even Arthur will not be able to enter the gate of the Junma Affiliated School.
This is the benefit of capitalism. The United States has written "natural human rights" into the Constitution. Private property is of course sacred and inviolable. Junma Affiliated School is Li Mu's private property. As long as Li Mu is unwilling, Junma Affiliated School does not have to sell anyone's face.
In fact, Li Mu was originally quite resistant to visiting. Fortunately, the United States did not pay attention to formalism and would not hold any welcome ceremonies or other things. Otherwise, even James Garfield would not have the opportunity to visit the Junma Affiliated School. Now, the decision to close the Junma Affiliated School was not made by Li Mu. It is more appropriate for Lisa to do this. No one would be serious about a woman in this kind of thing.
"So you close the door of the Junma Affiliated School and prevent students from contacting the society. That will only lead to a group of nerds." Henry certainly did not agree with the closure of the Junma Affiliated School. Sometimes isolation is not a solution to the problem, but instead seems guilty.
"Of course it's not completely closed. We will show the children what they want to get in touch with. The extracurricular activities at the Junma Affiliated School are very rich. Don't comment on this issue. We are all doing this. No one is qualified to laugh at anyone." Lisa also admitted that doing this may be immoral, but this is the norm.
Not only Junma Affiliated School, Junma Group, Time Magazine, or Democratic Party’s Echo, when they disseminate information to the outside world, they will choose information that is beneficial to themselves. In other words, the information that the public has access to is actually screened. Even if it is something that is not good for themselves, they must find an angle that is beneficial to themselves to interpret it. From this perspective, the public is actually the audience in the cinema. What they see is carefully edited documentaries. As for those cut shots, they will never be presented to the public.
I don’t know if it was Lisa’s words that touched Henry. Henry lost his interest in speaking. He finished the rice in the bowl as fast as possible, then got up and went to the study upstairs. Henry needed to calmly sort out everything he saw today and then decide what to do tomorrow.
When Henry needed to calm down, Li Mu also needed to calm down. Just last year, the Annapolis Naval Officer School accepted several students from the Qing Empire. As a result, the US government accidentally discovered the textbooks used by the Annapolis Naval Officer School in the Qing Empire this year. This incident was characterized as a serious leak. The Annapolis Naval Officer School suspended all students from the Qing Empire. More than a dozen students who graduated from the Junma Affiliated School were also affected. They were also stopped from their qualifications to study. They had to wait until the Annapolis Naval Officer School issued an investigation report before they could decide whether they had the right to continue their studies.
"There are more than 1,000 students in the Annapolis Naval Officer School. How could the leak of textbooks be a serious leak? The Qing Dynasty may have textbooks for the Annapolis Naval Officer School, but I can guarantee that the UK, France, Germany, and any country in the world will have textbooks for the Annapolis Naval Officer School. What does this mean? The Qing Dynasty naval colleges even have retired officers in the United States Navy coaching. So should their behavior be regarded as treason? And I think it is irresponsible to stop the learning qualifications of Chinese students so rashly. They are not Qing, but Americans. After graduation in the future, they will shed blood and sacrifice for the US Navy. This is unfair!" After Li Mu knew the situation, he called Ma Han as soon as possible, hoping that Ma Han could take care of those Chinese students, and came to Washington to find Arthur and asked Arthur to put pressure on the Annapolis Naval Officer School.
The matter of leaking secrets is actually not that complicated. The world has not yet been baptized by the Cold War, and technical exchanges between countries are actually very frequent. The Qing Empire could not only send students to the Annapolis Naval Officer School to study, but also easily obtain the world's most advanced warships from any country in the world. Compared with textbooks, isn't this a more serious leak?
It is normal to talk about the US Navy officers in the Qing Dynasty Naval School. The Qing Dynasty was actually very energetic during this period and spared no effort to invest in domestic naval divisions. It was not rare to hire foreign instructors. The Qing Dynasty had generous capital, so naturally some retired officers were willing to travel across the ocean to make money. The naval officers during this period were still very professional. In another time and space, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Beiyang Navy was wiped out and even foreign instructors and fleets survived and died. If they were from the standpoint of the Annapolis Naval Officer School, how should this bad debt be calculated?
"Don't worry, I know as much as you now. I'm waiting for the investigation report of the Annapolis Naval Officer School. As long as those students have no problem, their investigation will naturally be in contact with them and will not affect their future." Arthur can only be confused on this issue. The president is not omnipotent. Although the US president is also the commander-in-chief of the United States' three armies in name, Arthur really has no influence on the Annapolis Naval Officer School. This is not surprising. Soldiers have no political stance, so Arthur does not need to please the soldiers, and the soldiers do not need to please the commander-in-chief. Anyway, their commander-in-chief will be changed every four years.
Li Mu was able to send graduates from the Junma Affiliated School to the Annapolis Naval Officer School, but he still followed the Arthurian path. As Li Mu's old friend, Arthur knew Li Mu's importance to Chinese. Although Li Mu really wanted Chinese to engage in high-income industries such as lawyers, accountants, and doctors, it was also essential for the operation of the military. If Chinese want to truly integrate into the United States, they need to make their own voices in the army and sacrifice bloodshed for the United States, so that they can be truly accepted by the United States.
It sounds cruel, but the fact is that, if you strip away the national background of Chinese people, you should sacrifice blood for the United States as long as you are Americans. This is to truly regard yourself as a member of the United States, otherwise you will be able to be a group of poor people who steal from other places and will be abandoned by American society at any time. Why do Jews do so miserably in the world? It is because the Jews do not have the determination to sacrifice blood for the country. Of course, those countries are not Jewish countries. Therefore, after the Jews have their own land, they immediately miraculously have the desire to serve the country.
Li Mu also wanted to serve the country, but it was definitely not for the Qing Empire. The United States is a good country. At least the United States has accepted Li Mu and the Chinese who were abandoned by the Qing Empire. Since there is no choice, it can only operate well in the United States. As long as the United States does not have the "Chinese Exclusion Act", it is all worth it.
If there were no surprises, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" would not have existed. On the contrary, due to the rise of the Junma Group, the US Congress is considering increasing its efforts to immigrate from the Qing Dynasty. This is a bill that Chen Guofang used to propose in Congress every year, and now there are more and more supporters.
"I'm not worried about their future. Many people say that America is not a fair country. I think America is not a fair country. As long as they do have the ability, they will definitely have a bright future. What makes me angry is the practice of Annapolis Naval Officer School. They can doubt everything and they can investigate it at will, but they cannot make a decision when there is no conclusion. This is because they set a position for themselves. First, they think that it was the Chinese who leaked the so-called secrets that are not classified, and then searched for evidence to prove it around this position. You are also a lawyer. You should know that this behavior is illegal." Li Mu simply looked for evidence from the law. If Annapolis Naval Officer School does not give Li Mu a reasonable explanation, then Li Mu will really take Annapolis Naval Officer School to court.
Of course, even if it is in court, Li Mu will not be the plaintiff. Those Chinese students under review are the plaintiffs. Lawyers are not a problem. Li Mu can provide help. However, in that case, those Chinese students will lose the opportunity to join the US Navy forever. In the future, any Chinese students who want to study in Annapolis Naval Officers' School will experience more difficulties, so as long as there is room for recovery, Li Mu will not do that.
An important principle of American justice is the "presumption of innocence", that is, anyone is innocent until he is confirmed to have committed a crime and cannot treat him according to his behavior of treating criminals. The behavior of the Annapolis Naval Officer School clearly violates this principle. They only found that the textbook leaks, but did not prove that it was done by those Chinese students. At this time, no action could be taken against Chinese students, unless the Annapolis Naval Officer School could prove this.
"Reim, the army is the army, the law is the law, and some laws do not apply to the army." Arthur was a little embarrassed. The United States claimed that the constitution was above everything else, but in the army, this did not exist. Even if a soldier violated the law, he would not be handed over to a civil court, but to a special military court for trial.
This seems to be the same in the whole world.
