The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of vitality in the foggy city. Chapter 167: Three Koreas
Subtitle of this chapter: All history is contemporary history
"Let's go eat!"
Our Master Yuan looked straight ahead and walked out the door first.
"Asi!"
The two young men behind Commander Li were about to stop him when a man suddenly appeared from behind Yuan Yan. It was his driver and bodyguard, Kang Erduo.
Xiaokang took a wrong step and passed Master Yuan, coming between the two sticks. He pushed their shoulders with his hands without much effort...
"Get back!"
The two sticks retreated five or six steps with a "teng teng teng" sound, and only stopped when they hit the mahjong table with a "clang" sound.
Yuan Yan suddenly left the Mahjong club leisurely, as if he hadn't noticed. In fact, he was having a lively conversation with the Master Ball system:
"Master Ball, when will the class system be released? I want to cultivate both the arts and sciences... No, magic and martial arts... No, that's not right either, I want to cultivate both the arts and martial arts! Even becoming a monk, a ranger, or even a warrior would be fine. At least I won't be helpless when encountering a situation like this."
"Host, didn't I tell you that the career system will be unlocked after completing the first system mission? However, I'm afraid is not what you expected."
"Master Ball, I knew you..."
"Brother Hongjian, I remember now!"
Fu Wu, who was behind him, stepped forward and said, "Brother Hongjian, I remember who that Commander Li was..."
"Oh, who is it?" Yuan Yan suddenly lost interest, but still asked in an interested tone.
"This man's surname is Li Chengman, and he's actually our schoolmate..."
That's right, the President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was indeed a Princeton PhD graduate. He specialized in international law and minored in American and Western history. His doctoral dissertation was titled "Neutrality under American Influence." The dissertation systematically examined the neutrality theory, attempting to maintain Korean independence through neutralization.
In 1910, it was Woodrow Wilson, then the president of Princeton University and future president of the United States, who awarded him his doctorate.
Wilson also praised Syngman Rhee as "a man of strong patriotic feelings and great enthusiasm for his people." So the relationship between the teacher and the student was quite good.
Dr. Lee's academic credentials are truly impressive in East Asia. Not only is he the first Korean to hold a doctorate, he also holds a bachelor's degree from George Washington University and a master's from Harvard University.
In September 1919, the three Korean Provisional Governments in Shanghai, Seoul, and Vladivostok were unified. It was decided to dissolve the Shanghai and Vladivostok governments, retain the Seoul government, move its offices to Shanghai, and adopt the name of the former Shanghai Provisional Government as the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea". Syngman Rhee demanded that the Seoul Provisional Government's system of governor-general be changed to a presidential system, so he became the "President" in his own right.”.
He arrived in Shanghai, China on December 8, 1920, and officially took office as president...Then Yuan Yanshu, like a butterfly, flapped its wings and slightly changed history.
According to the original timeline, Syngman Rhee would not leave Shanghai for Washington until May 1921. On the one hand, Shanghai was a mess and he was a "politician" without any backbone; on the other hand, he wanted to take a gamble at the Washington Conference, borrow the power of the United States to oppress Japan and gain some benefits for South Korea.
However, because of Master Yuan's relationship, the news of the Washington Conference was leaked in advance, so he returned to the United States early.
After arriving in the eastern United States, Syngman Rhee naturally went to visit his mentor Wilson. From him, he learned about the good articles written by Yuan Yanshu, and also learned from newspapers and magazines that this Chinese was very popular.
He wanted to avenge his teacher, but also felt a little unwilling to accept the result, so he published articles criticizing Yuan Yanshu in various newspapers, mainly those with Democratic Party stances.
Unfortunately, Master Yuan had already seen the tactics used by later generations of online trolls, and did not respond at all.
In fact, many people, especially die-hard Democrats, criticized this Chinese man in the newspapers at that time, but he did not have the energy or time to fight back one by one.
If he really wanted to argue, he would at least argue with someone of Churchill's caliber. Is the President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea worthy of him writing a special article to debate with him?
Not to mention writing an article, even if General Li came to him and slapped him in the face, he would feel pain in his hands.
Really, our Master Yuan is now chatting and laughing with Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Kennedy's father.
Compared to these American Big Dads, American are nothing.
Besides, South Korea has no place at all in his grand plan. He even wants to return the Korean Peninsula to its historical normal state.
His so-called historical normal state certainly did not include the Four Han Commanderies. Twentieth-century history has proven that this was a very difficult task.
The historical tradition that Master Yuan wants to restore is naturally - the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms of Han!
This is not impossible, as long as a certain major Eastern country in the future is less "Internationale" and more imperialist.
If he could make the United States and the Soviet Union bleed enough so that they could not fully interfere in the situation in North Korea, he might be able to create another country on the peninsula.
By then, China, the United States, and the Soviet Union will each support one, and it would be great to have a Three Kingdoms War.
In fact, the most critical factor is that Yuan Hongjian hates Koreans very much, both the northern and southern Koreans.
Although it is a bit politically incorrect for the Seres, to be honest, he still prefers dealing with the Japanese to the Koreans.
In fact, this is not just his opinion, but the opinion of many people born in the 1990s.
This also confirms the evolution of China's online nationalism. If I were to talk about it, it would be a long article.
Simply put, when those "angry young people" and "imperial men" born in the 1970s and 1980s became middle-aged, they were shocked to find that the Japanese kids who had carried 20 kilograms and marched 100 kilometers in the "China-Japan Summer Camp" that had suffocated them had actually, actually, actually become Heisei otakus who believed that "a country that makes its people die should be destroyed."
This is just like when Linghu Chong wielded his sword and climbed up the Black Wood Cliff, only to see Dongfang Bubai become a good wife and mother. It was both surprising and disappointing.
The Second Sino-Japanese War, for which they had been preparing at all times, suddenly became ridiculous, but the concept of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere became less unacceptable.
And when the little pinks born in the 1990s officially appeared, they didn’t think the three-dimensional devils were scary at all.
On the other hand, the Koreans, to the north, are ungrateful, poor, and ungrateful people, while to the south, they are a giant nation with a large number of historical inventors. Compared with these two stubborn and stubborn Koreans, the Japanese who are wholeheartedly devoted to the second dimension are quite cute.
Therefore, all history is contemporary history.
