Chapter 369: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Not Completed)
There are two people here, one big and one small, one American and one British. They are friendly and cheerful, but they have ulterior motives. However, they are generally friendly because of their conflicts of interest.
On the other side, the principal of the magic school who was living a good life, the Chinese Taoist priests, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came later, and the customs police who were in charge of the portal, could not be said to be very harmonious.
...Then again, if people who live a good life don't cause such trouble, can they really live in harmony with those Taoist masters in China who hate evil?
Those laughing, free-spirited American soldiers and newly-graduated American students, seeing Smith's indifferent attitude, began to watch the show of Sang Muli, the nominal principal, and waited for someone to clean up the mess.
Sang Muli was intimidated by the murderous aura of the Taoists, and then by the pointing and talking of the onlookers, as well as Wang Hengzhi's ruthless attitude. He was embarrassed and his face turned red.
But facing the powerful Chinese magic world, Sang Muli did not dare to lose his temper and could only apologize and smile.
"Smith-Marseille, yes, but for the sake of educational fairness and equal treatment, the international students in our school..."
Wang Hengzhi interrupted him, his tone cold: "Studying abroad is a good thing, but you must also follow the basic rules of magic schools. How come I didn't know when magic schools began to recruit adults who are serving in the military?"
Sang Muli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and dared not speak.
The head of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stepped forward with a fake smile and looked at Sang Muli with a smile, but his tone was very serious.
"Mr. Principal, what was the original intention of establishing the magic institute? It was to allow children from the country's magic world to receive education in a safe environment. But now, the magic institute has become a foreign military camp. This is extremely irresponsible for the education of children in the magic world! It is also a violation of the laws and regulations of the magic world!"
"We just hope that the Institute of Magic can stick to its original intention and provide children with a good learning environment, and not let the Institute of Magic become a base for foreign troops."
Alison raised an eyebrow.
This is such a soft word, is there something more to it?
She really didn't think that appealing to emotions would be useful for domesticated dogs that had been tamed through coercion and bribery.
Sure enough, the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs then changed the subject and became more aggressive.
"China does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. However, if the actions of other countries affect our country, then in order to maintain the educational environment for our children, our Chinese wizarding community and government do not mind taking necessary measures..."
As he said this, he didn't look at Sang Muli, but glanced at Smith.
Smith was calm and even smiled and nodded as if nothing had happened. This attitude was naturally due to the garrison base in the small days and the strong position of the United States.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw this and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a polite smile on his face: "I think you should understand our position."
He no longer paid attention to Smith, but turned to look at Alison. After all, Alison, the partner, was the one who actually invented and controlled those portals.
"Ms. Grindelwald, as a representative of Hogwarts, what is your opinion on the actions of the Japanese Magic Institute?"
Alison was serious and repeated her previous confusing remarks, trying to smooth things over between the two sides.
"I don't really know much about diplomacy. I'm just handling cooperation with magic schools on behalf of Hogwarts... It's a place where there are underage children, so it's really not suitable for adults to enter. Of course, if they are 'newly-adult' or 'have delayed their magic education for some reason' students, it's not a bad idea to give them a break..."
She gave certain opportunities to set conditions, but also reiterated the principles.
"Well, but their character still needs to be considered. After all, school is a place for learning. If the students of the Japanese School of Magic cannot integrate into other schools normally, and Japan cannot integrate into the international community, considering the possible cultural conflicts, I will not rule out closing the portal to the Japanese wizarding world, allowing them to maintain the isolation and independence necessary for their previous peaceful lives."
To put it simply, she meant to set certain restrictions, allowing only American soldiers around 18 years old to enter the schools through the portal, and to be treated as students. They would pay special attention to their behavior, and if the American soldiers often caused trouble and did things other than studying, they would not be allowed to play with Xiao Zi anymore, and the American soldiers would be cut off from Xiao Zi.
"... Then, I would also like to ask, as one of the partners in the exchange between the countries, what does China think about this?"
This was Allison's attitude. She glanced across and was not sure whether China was willing to allow young American soldiers to enter the Tianshi Temple to "study".
Although purely electronic products will be affected by magical magnetic fields, it cannot be ruled out that America will now and in the future develop monitoring and surveillance equipment that combines magic technology, and has the crazy idea of monitoring the trends in the wizarding world of various countries.
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nodded slightly, obviously having understood what Alison meant. "Don't worry, China has always been open-minded and tolerant. As for the 'children' from other countries, as long as they have 'good conduct', our Chinese wizarding community will definitely 'treat them equally' and 'equally'."
Seeing that it is not realistic to completely exclude the United States, he said this beautifully, very much like a great power, but in reality...
Alison had a subtle expression.
Treat everyone equally?
China monitors and espionage, and also smokes and spreads infectious diseases...
It's all illegal.
What America wants is not equality, but privilege.
However, there is no need to say these words. In diplomatic occasions, everyone has to save face.
