This afternoon, there was a meeting of professors from Sophia University.
Japanese universities are completely set up by military aristocrats. The professors are the "daimyo", the chairman of the professorship is the shogun, and the professors have associate professors and lecturers who are the daimyo's retainers.
Even if it is a relatively left-wing university, the only difference is that the professors are more talkative. During the Cold War era, the Eastern camp advocated democracy, while the Western camp advocated freedom, so the left wing is more democratic.
But this is only to teach the behavior of individuals, the whole system is still a complete military aristocratic system.
On the other hand, the right-wing professors fully implement the feudal aristocratic etiquette-like order of superiority and inferiority. Throw it out of the sky.
Sophia University itself has close ties with the political and diplomatic circles, and among its professors there are right-wing scholars.
However, Sophia University, as a university with foreign language education as its main feature and rich in translators, also accommodates a considerable number of left-wing scholars, especially those who teach German, most of whom are left-leaning.
By the way, the Japanese academia in this era is generally left-leaning. The reason is clearly stated in the famous line in the movie "Ah Navy": "Smart people are easy to become sexualized."
Right now, a bunch of smart people are meeting around a round marble table that looks like King Arthur's.
"Everyone." The chairman of the professors' association, Hiroshi Kuni, took the latest Mimai News and the weekly magazine Fangchun in his hands, and showed them to everyone, "This is the topic of our unusual emergency meeting today."
Professor Dashan from the Department of Philosophy pushed his glasses: "Is this the new newspaper and weekly magazine Fangchun published today? Will these really trigger a wave of public opinion enough for us to have an emergency meeting? Can't we discuss it at the regular meeting next week?" ?”
Professor Guo Li put down the selling news, took the weekly magazine Fang Chun and said: "This alone will probably make this student occupy the front page of the evening paper for about three days, and then the social pages of various daily newspapers will probably discuss it for three days. But... "
Professor Guoli picked up the selling news and showed the Mikako on it to everyone: "adding this is different, you can listen carefully to the noise outside the window, the reporters have already blocked the downstairs , the Publicity Division is dealing with them."
Professor Dashan was speechless, and while taking off his glasses, he said, "Sorry, I'm old, hard of hearing, and can't hear. I have no problem, let's continue the meeting."
"Today we are always discussing how to respond to this public opinion." Professor Guoli looked around the crowd, "Student Fujii from the Public Opinion Center is currently at home, and we will decide what to do with her today."
Professor Kunisaki Ueshiba from the German Department said: "This Fujii student is very beautiful. Next year, there should be many young people who want to see the beautiful senior sister."
"Professor Ueshiba, please be serious, we are discussing something related to the academic reputation of our school." Professor Guoli said in a deep voice.
At this time, the professor of the English Department and the dean of the School of Foreign Languages Jiubao Liyou took a sip of tea and said slowly: "So Professor Guoli also feels that Professor Qianjiang's misjudgment of the international situation this time has affected the reputation of our school?"
Professor Guoli frowned.
Yuichi Kubo from the Foreign Language Institute was out of place with the entire meeting just because of his age. The other professors are at least forty years old, and their faces have as many wrinkles as the papers they have published.
But Ryuichi Kubo is only thirty-five years old, a typical young man. Generally speaking, it is already remarkable for a person of his age to be an associate professor.
The professors of Japanese universities have one radish and one pit. Young people have to wait for a vacancy in addition to their own strength to be in the top position.
There should not be too many young professors who stop at the associate professor and other pits.
These associate professors may be no different from professors in the eyes of students—anyway, they are all called Professor XXX, and no one brings the adverb into it.
But in fact there is a huge difference between an associate professor and a professor. Among other things, the fact that only professors can vote at the faculty meeting is enough to explain the problem.
Kubo Ryuichi was the lucky one who got into the pit at a young age, and he was directly the dean of the foreign language institute.
The first associate professor Hai Lao who is only one year older than him has achieved more achievements, but he can only be an associate professor honestly.
Kubo Liyuichi's words made Professor Guoli very displeased: "The international situation is not shogi, and people always make misjudgments. There are too many accidental factors that affect the international situation, such as the First World War, Fei Di Grand Duke Nan is not dead..."
Professor Kunisaki Ueshiba of the German Department interrupted Professor Guoli’s words: “It is true that human history is full of seemingly accidental events, but the overall history of mankind is predictable, and there is an inevitability hidden behind the accidental events.” Archduke Ferdinand If you don't die, there will be other reasons to start the war.
"Even if all the accidents don't happen, according to the historical data of Tsarist Russia, the Tsar originally planned to attack Prussia after completing all war preparations. According to Russia's timetable, the First World War will break out in 1920 at the latest."
Professor Guo Li retorted: "Hmph, that set of mechanical history!"
"It's materialist historiography!"
"All the same, this set of historiography completely ignores that human beings are a creature that often behaves irrationally!"
"If you say that, it means that you don't understand materialist historiography at all, and make unreasonable comments on something you don't understand. This kind of behavior is a typical academic blindness!"
"Stop, stop!" Professor Dashan from the Department of Philosophy interrupted the debate between the two, "Now is not the time to argue about academic issues, this is the time to discuss the school's policy of action."
Professor Dashan is the oldest. Although the students in his philosophy department have all entered useless industries, the influence of the students can be said to be the weakest among the professors present, but when they are the oldest, their words have weight.
And because the Department of Philosophy has the fewest interests involved, Professor Dashan often plays the role of mediator and peacemaker.
After the two professors died down, Professor Yuichi Kubo said again: "On the day when Professor Qianjiang traveled westward with a crane, many professors and students were present, including me, and Associate Professor Ebi of the German Department."
Speaking of this, Professor Yuichi Kubo glanced at Professor Ueshiba, who nodded: "Indeed, Kazuo told me about it."
"So we all heard that Professor Qianjiang really insulted Fujii-san as a prostitute first." Kubo Ryosuke shrugged, "Oh my god, it's nothing more than selling news, Fangchun, the weekly magazine, is actually telling the truth!"
Professor Guoli's expression was very ugly: "Professor Kuboli, this kind of thing has a very serious impact on the reputation of our entire university, you should..."
"Professor Guoli, there were Kiryu and Ma at the scene. Don't you think it's strange why a student from Tokyo University was there?" Professor Kubo Liyuichi looked at
Professor Guo Li's face was livid: "You mean..."
"Tiryu and Ma are acquaintances of Zhoukan Fangchun. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is Zhoukan Fangchun's popularity. He was at the scene, and the weekly Fangchun published a special issue after a week. Considering the writing And the timing of typesetting and printing, which may even have been arranged from the beginning, how can you guarantee that he doesn't have a tape in his hand?"
After Kubo Ryosuke finished talking one by one, Professor Guoli frowned into a Sichuan shape.
"This was a conspiracy from the beginning? But, why? Why did Kiryu and Ma get involved in this matter? He has no relevant interests at all."
Ryuku Kubo spread his hands together: "Kiryu and Ma are just eighteen-year-old young people. If you think about him more simply, maybe he just got angry at the crown and became a beauty?"
"You mean, he just took action because Mikako Fujii was threatened by Professor Qianjiang to prevent her from graduating?"
Kubo Ryu nodded.
Professor Guoli shook his head: "No, no, it's too risky to kill a university professor just for this..."
"I didn't say that Kiryu and Ma killed Professor Qiane," Professor Yuichi Kubo hurriedly said, "As far as I saw at the scene, Professor Qiane vomited blood and died. It's his own fault. Fujii-san is really not to blame for this. "
As the voice fell, Professor Ueshiba sneered: "In the final analysis, his academic level is too poor. A few years ago, he judged that the United States would continue to target China. As a result, Keith visited China, and he also quit several international relations think tanks. Lost this face hum hum."
"Professor Ueshiba, be more reserved, everyone is already dead." Professor Dashan persuaded, "However, Qian Jiangjun's academic level is a bit of a person who loses our wisdom."
Professor Dashan has said so, and it is hard for Professor Guoli to say anything. He is the chairman, but Professor Dashan has higher seniority and seniority, so he still has to give face.
At this time, the professor of the French Department, Fu Jiuxiong, who had been silent for a long time, asked: "I read the report of the weekly Fangchun. Is this female student Fujii Mikako really as talented as the weekly Fangchun said? According to my impression, Such good-looking girls are usually the type with big breasts and no brains, right?"
"Professor Changfu, you can't say this at this critical moment." Kubo Ryuichi reminded, "It will be bad if it gets out."
"Don't worry about it until it gets out. You are at the scene, and you can talk about your first-hand experience at the scene."
Kubo Ryu nodded: "I was at the scene, and I discussed it with Ebi, an associate professor of the German Department afterwards. The first half of Mikako Fujii's exposition is indeed very talented, and she has an obvious academic foundation of historical materialism. I like it. Arguing the whole thing from an economic base."
Professor Changfu was speechless: "Is she really a talented woman?"
"But!" Ryuichi Kubo raised his voice, "After Professor Chie attacked her highlighted hair, she obviously lost her position, and then completely followed Professor Chie."
"The type who is talented but can't do it on the spot?" Professor Changfu nodded repeatedly.
Professor Guoli looked at Professor Changfu and frowned: "Professor Changfu, what do you want to say?"
"Ah, that's right. Now that our school has become the laughing stock of the international relations academic circle, it is a certainty. It is foreseeable that after this incident is fermented, the jobs of our graduates in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and various think tanks will be affected, and may even be affected. to where new graduates go to work. I think we should prioritize those effects.”
Professor Guo Li immediately echoed as if he had found a treasure: "Yes, yes, this is what I want to say, so we should refute the rumors from the school's position as soon as possible..."
"I think, if this Mikako is really talented, we can support her."
Professor Guoli opened his mouth wide: "What?"
"I mean, we support Mikako Fujii. Anyway, Professor Qianjiang is dead. The dead don't even need to apologize, just take the blame. We can say generously that this time we have discovered such a talented person. side support.”
"This..." Professor Guoli wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Professor Changfu.
"If Mikako Fujii can't help her up afterwards, and she is wrong in the judgment of the international situation afterwards, it means that she is a waste. Professor Qianjiang is not wrong in her judgment, and the public opinion will naturally reverse.
"If Mikako Fujii continues to show her talents afterwards, then you can see that we have a new star in international relations, and the impact of Professor Qianjiang's misjudgment on our school will naturally disappear."
The professors in the room said "Oh!" in unison.
Professor Yuichi Kubo added: "This girl is so pretty, I suggest that this issue of the school magazine can use her as the cover. The beauty economy is the latest fashion."
Professor Guoli said angrily: "Kuboli, pay attention to the occasion. This is one of the highest institutions of learning. It's too embarrassing to say something about the beauty economy."
"Okay, mine." Kubo Ryuichi shrugged.
Professor Guoli: "So, does anyone have any ideas? No, let's start voting on the main issues. The first thing is to deal with Fujii. Please raise your hand if you agree to expel her."
No hands were raised.
"If you agree to lift her suspension, please raise your hand."
A bunch of professors all raised their hands.
"Okay, this issue is settled now. The second issue, if you agree to deny that Professor Qian Jiang has insulted female students, please raise your hand."
This time, no hands were raised.
"Those who agree to establish Fujii Mikako as a school model, please raise your hand."
Except for Professor Dashan, everyone raised their hands.
Professor Guoli looked at Professor Dashan.
Professor Dashan: "I abstained, so that the minutes of the meeting will look more fair."
"Very good, who will write the speech?" Professor Guo Li looked at everyone.
"Let me come." Professor Yuichi Kubo said.
"Okay, I'll notify the widow of Professor Qianjiang." Professor Guoli said with a sigh, "Damn it, how should I tell the old lady about this? Don't she also vomit out blood and die by then? ?”
"No way." Professor Dashan reassured, "Why don't I tell her? Professor Qian Jiang and I had a good personal relationship during our lifetime, and the wreath I sent at the ceremony was also the biggest one I ever gave."
Professor Guoli looked at Professor Dashan speechlessly. To be honest, this professor who teaches philosophy sometimes thinks about what he really can't see through.
The wreath is the largest... Is this something worth mentioning
Forget it, Professor Guoli shook his head again and again. If Professor Qian Jiang had a spirit in heaven, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood again.
