Chapter 1337 Bullying, I have a father (Second update, please subscribe)
The three greatest pleasures in life are meeting old friends in a foreign country. Although it was not a foreign country, Li Chengcai still seemed a little excited to meet his old classmates. After all, the last time they met was five years ago.
"I remember, the last time we met, we were on our way to study in the Empire. You went to Youzhou Normal University and I went to Shanxi University of Technology. We were separated for five years!"
"No, we've been apart for five years. What have you been doing these past few years? Or architecture?"
"Yes, after graduating from university, I worked as an intern in Shanxi for two years. I just came back two months ago and now I am working at Chengji Construction Office..."
Then the two of them started chatting. They talked about the past between classmates, and of course their experiences studying abroad, and their past in the empire when they were studying abroad. In the end, Li Weizhi said with regret.
"In the future, I'm afraid not everyone who passes the exam will have the opportunity to study in the Empire. The snow-capped mountains in South Kunlun are so spectacular!"
South Kunlun is the Andes Mountains. Although the official name has not been changed, the Chinese like to call it "South Kunlun". In fact, this is not branding the imprint of China.
"Oh? What's going on?"
"Have you not heard that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has decided to establish a comprehensive university in Havana, and the Imperial Ministry of Education has also expressed support. Even Imperial University of China, Yingtian Imperial University and Nanhua University are willing to send professors to help build the school. It is said that the President
We plan to raise 3 million pesos to build the best comprehensive university in the entire Caribbean, so that in the future we will no longer have to go to the Empire to study!"
"Ah! What a pity!"
Although there have always been no Chinese universities in Cuba, the establishment of a university is a matter of course, but in Li Chengcai's view, this is a bit of a pity.
"Yes, if you don't enter the empire, how can you understand the vastness of the empire and the majestic scenery of the empire..."
Li Chengcai smiled after hearing his old classmate's pity.
"I think you are the girl who misses the blooming empire more!"
"Haha, who doesn't miss it?"
While laughing, Li Weizhi said.
"However, Havana always needs a university. If you want to go to the Empire, there will always be opportunities in the future."
"It's true, we always need our own universities, but will Cubans want them?"
Although he is of mixed European and Indian descent, Li Chengcai always involuntarily regards himself as a Chinese, or at least as one of them. This is the result of more than ten years of education, and Chinese culture has long been deeply embedded in his soul.
In other words, culture recast his soul.
"You know, in recent years, they have been extremely resistant to independent Chinese schools. Will they approve the university?"
Chinese independent schools in Cuba are not an officially popular institution. After all, the schools inherit Chinese culture, which is obviously not conducive to their rule. For this reason, not only do they not provide any funding, they even list the Chinese schools as
As a "for-profit institution", Chinese schools were required to pay taxes. For this reason, the Chinese community of course argued hard. Finally, with the intervention of the empire, the Cuban authorities reversed this decision.
"Humph, that's what those people are like, they don't care about food, don't they know how to repent until the empire shows up in the end?"
When Li Weizhi was lamenting the Cuban authorities' lack of food and comfort, what he didn't know was that in the presidential palace, Gu Weikang, the Ming Empire's ambassador to Cuba, was making representations to Martinez.
"We demand that the Cuban authorities must immediately change their discriminatory policies against the Chinese. The so-called "blood nationality" fundamentally excludes the possibility of Chinese naturalization. The Chinese have created 80% of Cuba's wealth and provided 60% of the jobs. They use
Cuba has been built with sweat and wisdom, but they have been excluded from Cuba. Such discrimination is against both international public law and common American practice. As a new continent dominated by immigrants, among all American countries and regions
, their naturalization is based on "place of birth", but Cuba has set up discriminatory laws to restrict the naturalization of Chinese people! We ask that you abolish the corresponding laws and protect the Chinese people's right to a fair life!"
In the face of the Ming Empire's protests, Martinez, the former Cuban governor who declared independence with the support of the United States during the "Cuban Crisis" and became the president of Cuba, said straightforwardly.
"Your Excellency, Ambassador, please forgive me for not accepting such a protest. As we all know, Cuba is a democratic country. The establishment of this bill was voted by Congress. Although I am the president, I cannot abolish the country's laws."
Of course, it is impossible to repeal this bill. You must know that this was a plan carefully designed by American lawyers and a group of American lawyers. The purpose was to ensure that Chinese Cubans had no way to obtain Cuban citizenship, thereby completely excluding them from politics. Otherwise, according to the current situation
In terms of the bill, well, it is very likely that a Chinese president will be elected. Not only that, they can even abolish Spanish through official legislation and use Chinese as the official language.
Therefore, this bill is the last line of defense to prevent his power as president from falling into the hands of others. Therefore, it is impossible for him to repeal this bill no matter what.
Ambassador Gu Weikang even had the urge to laugh at President Martinez's answer. After all, what he heard was a joke.
Isn’t this nonsense!
Do people just use guns to kill people?
What kind of voting is this? It’s just what you ordered. Now you are actually raising this banner here. Isn’t this lying with your eyes open!
Of course, Martinez also knew that the Ming Ambassador was not easy to get rid of, and he also knew that behind the empire's diplomacy was the empire's fleet. After refusing, he said.
"If you want to repeal the bill, you must at least go through proper channels. Mr. Ambassador, I will submit your protest to Congress for review. I believe they will eventually make a decision based on Cuba's interests..."
This is playing football!
Facing Martinez, he kicked the ball there. Gu Weikang did not immediately expose the opponent's thoughts. After all, this was only the first negotiation. Negotiations will continue in the future.
"Mr. President, if your country cannot handle this matter seriously, then we will not only hand it over to the International Court of Justice, but we will also use our own methods to defend the rights and interests of the Chinese people."
What is your own way?
Of course, they sent warships and even issued threats of force. What was the purpose of the fleet that the empire spent a huge amount of money to build? It was definitely not for display at home, but to safeguard the interests of the empire in any region of the world.
Of course, it also includes the interests of Chinese people all over the world.
Although Gu Weikang's voice was not loud, Martinez still heard the threat in his words. After fighting with the Ming Empire for so many years, he knew that this threat was definitely not a verbal threat.
Almost immediately after Gu Weikang left, Martinez invited the U.S. ambassador to Cuba. While informing the United States of the threat from the Ming Empire, he also of course asked for help from the United States.
The reason why we need to ask for help from the United States is because the United States has been Cuba's most important supporter since independence. Martinez can be firmly present at the presidential conference thanks to the support of the United States. Now facing threats, of course only Latin America
