Chapter 511 Look, the traitor jumps out
Li Kuanyue suddenly threw the last book in his hand onto the table, making a loud "bang".
“Anyone who does not closely surround His Excellency Zhang Chi and does not firmly identify Chinese culture as the core of Nanyang has ulterior motives.
They are all hidden enemies within us, and are all accomplices or collaborators of this secret group."
Li Kuanyue spoke in a decisive tone, his eyes sweeping across the entire audience again, especially those Malay officials whose faces had become extremely ugly.
"Director Li, you've gone too far." The Malay Education Director named Harun bin Abdullah could no longer bear it, slammed the table and stood up, his face flushed.
"These are not designated teaching materials, but just some extracurricular reading materials. Your actions are naked cultural hegemony and a complete denial of the history and culture of us Malays and other ethnic groups.
What Mr. Zhang Chi promised us is bilingual education and respect.
Your accusation is wanton slander. Many of these books are precious cultural heritage of our nation."
Li Kuanyue sneered: "Huh? Everyone! Look, the members of these conspiracy groups have already jumped out on their own!"
"Cultural heritage?" He looked directly at Director Harun without backing down. "Director Harun, what you call 'precious cultural heritage' are these anti-China books filled with lies, falsification, and deliberate denigration of Chinese culture and history?
His Excellency Zhang Chi's commitment to bilingual education provides Malay compatriots with the opportunity to learn advanced culture and integrate into the new Nanyang region. Mandarin is compulsory and will be the first official language of Nanyang in the future. This is an ironclad rule.
Because this is the foundation for building a unified national identity and learning advanced science and technology. It's not about using the guise of 'bilingualism' to spread these toxins that divide the country and poison the future of Southeast Asia."
Li Kuanyue was full of imposing manner. He had secured the center position today. "You keep saying respect, but may I ask, when these books slander and belittle the ancestors of the Chinese nation, have you ever shown even a shred of respect?"
"Respect is mutual. When these historians choose to use lies to construct so-called 'national pride' and step on the dignity of China to climb up, they have already torn up the contract of respect."
Li Kuanyue looked at the Chinese officials sitting at the conference table and said with a look of deep sorrow, "If we don't seize the educational frontier, it will be taken over by those with ulterior motives using these carefully packaged poisons."
"The wisdom and bravery of His Excellency Zhang Chi, the bloody battles of the Nanyang Defense Force, and the peace and hope they brought to Nanyang must be written down in great detail. They must become the sole monument and belief in the hearts of the new generation of Nanyang people, rather than being erased by these hypocritical materials that slander China and promote local kingship."
For a moment, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
Deputy Director Chen Wenli also tried to ease the situation: "Kuanyue, your concerns are reasonable, but aren't you being too absolute? We can organize experts to screen and eliminate the dross and retain the essence..."
"Identify? Remove the dross and retain the essence?" Li Kuanyue interrupted abruptly, his tone firm, "Deputy Director Chen, we don't have the time or the need to identify which leaf in these carefully prepared poisons is slightly less toxic.
We must be as ruthless to our enemies as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. Those conspirators and rebels who attempt to overthrow His Excellency Zhang Chi's rule and undermine the unity of Nanyang through ideological and cultural means, and their books, must be rooted out and completely burned.
This is war, a war without the smoke of gunpowder, but more brutal than real swords and guns, and a war that concerns life and death."
Li Kuanyue knew where his disadvantages lay: he was too young and had no foundation. Therefore, he frantically made accusations and made characterizations in order to raise the threat of this matter to a high enough level.
He ignored Harun and Chen Wenli, who had livid faces, and turned to the Johor State Education Director, Wu Zhenhua, who was sitting in the main seat, silent and with a complicated expression.
As a well-known local cultural figure, he was able to become the director because of his personal reputation and good reputation.
How could he not know at this moment that this young man was going to cause trouble, something big?
"Director Wu," Li Kuanyue said formally, "As the director of the 'No Matter What's Going On' department, I formally propose this and request authorization.
First, immediately establish a "Textbook and Publication Ideological Inspection Team" under the direct leadership of our department, which will have the power to enter any school, printing house, or bookstore to search and seal up.
Second, an immediate ban should be issued to confiscate and burn all books such as "Malay Annals" and "History of the Glass Palace" that distort history, belittle China, and advocate local separatism throughout the state, regardless of the language in which they are published.
Third, all persons involved in the writing, publishing, and dissemination of such books will be subject to strict scrutiny. Anyone who does so intentionally and in serious circumstances will be charged with "subverting order in Southeast Asia."
Fourth, led by our department and in conjunction with the propaganda department, we will immediately begin compiling new textbooks that conform to the "New Order of Nanyang", promote the dominant Chinese culture, correctly explain the history of Nanyang (emphasizing the dominant position and contribution of China), and publicize the great achievements of His Excellency Zhang Chi.
Teaching materials must be crude but powerful, so that even ordinary people who cannot read a single word can understand, remember, and identify with them.”
In the last part, Li Kuanyue targeted the local natives.
After all, in Malaysia, the natives do not attach as much importance to education as the Chinese do. Most of them have never been to school, and their thoughts are very simple - anyway, I can't read a single word, so you can teach me whatever you want.
Li Kuanyue took a deep breath and said, "His Excellency Zhang Chi's wisdom and bravery must be publicized and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Our propaganda and education should simply, directly, and rudely tell everyone that if they follow His Excellency Zhang Chi, they will have food to eat, clothes to wear, and dignity to live with."
Opposing him is to destroy our future beautiful life. Anyone who attempts to manipulate culture or establish their own independent kingdom is a stumbling block that our inspection team must crush.
There was deathly silence in the conference room.
Everyone was stunned by Li Kuanyue's murderous proposal.
It was clear that Li Kuanyue was planning to launch a small-scale "purge." As for who his target was, that was self-evident.
Director Wu Zhenhua was silent for a long time. He didn't want to make things so awkward. But Li Kuanyue's words were so high-sounding, what if he refused?
Then wouldn't he have become the conspirator and rebel hidden inside, intending to oppose Nanyang and Lord Zhang Chi, as Li Kuanyue said?
"Ahem." Wu Zhenhua finally cleared his throat, his eyes swept over the people with different expressions, and finally landed on Li Kuanyue's young face.
"Director Li Kuanyue's proposal...although strongly worded, his concerns are not without merit. Maintaining the purity of ideology and culture and ensuring that no unrest arises within the public mindset is indeed the top priority of current education work."
He paused, his tone turning serious:
"In principle, I agree with Director Li's four proposals. The inspection team will be fully responsible for its formation and command by the 'Office of No Responsibility', and the bureau will prioritize the allocation of required personnel and resources. An injunction will be drafted immediately, issued in the name of the State Education Bureau and myself, and enforced throughout the state."
"As for the handling of the individuals involved..." Wu Zhenhua gave Li Kuanyue a reassuring look. "...This is a serious matter, and it seems our education department doesn't have the authority to handle it. We should contact our superiors and colleagues to jointly take responsibility."
