spn "...In this barbaric massacre of underdeveloped countries by the civilized world, a large number of innocent students and civilians were killed and injured. This was an incident against humanity... and Japan played an extremely disgraceful role in this massacre.

Not only did he bribe the British Avosen, and openly organized the massacre, he even mobilized the garrison in the Hongkou area with the intention of carrying out a larger-scale massacre of Shanghai students and civilians... Due to the crazy resistance from the mysterious forces, this

The massacre turned into a counter-massacre, and Britain and Japan suffered heavy losses... Please read below the emergency telegram sent back by a New York Times reporter in Shanghai:

……………………

After the "May 15th Massacre" occurred in China on May 16, 1925, even though there was a huge time difference, news agencies and major newspapers around the world received the news as soon as possible.

This very, very timely news was not sent back by their reporter, but was sent to the editors and reporters of various daily newspapers through an unsigned telegram. After it was confirmed that the tragedy that occurred in Shanghai, China, was true,

News media of all sizes around the world suddenly smelled of bloody sharks, and did not hesitate to make front-page headlines to deliver this process and the dramatic "May 15th Massacre" to their readers as soon as possible.

However, although the anonymous news telegrams received by major newspapers are the same, their positions are different.

Some newspapers immediately chose to defend Western civilization, and from the perspective of white people, characterized this tragedy as an act of blatant war by an underdeveloped country against the civilized world.

For the sake of circulation, some newspapers are unwilling to publish the same news as several old newspapers, so they take risks and choose to publish different news. Very few of them take the stand of the yellow race. This is not that they pity the Chinese.

Due to various reasons, the United States and the United States have different positions from those of Britain, Japan, and France. Other countries mostly choose neutrality, and even gloat about misfortune. The so-called empire on which the sun never sets and the emerging small country of Japan in East Asia have competed arrogantly in many international incidents.

This time it was met with a head-on blow.

Different from previous incidents that happened in China, this news incident is not only of great value, but also someone promptly provided news clues that were almost synchronized with those of the old newspapers, providing a complete incident process. Therefore, some newspapers did not

Follow the trend and report again as before.

After all, if they can't even get news sources and there are no journalists stationed in China, they can only survive by following the trend of reporting. But this time, the situation is different.

Of course, there are also some accidental factors. For example, the day the incident occurred...

"Mr. Fergus, I'm sorry to tell you that your daughter is in our hands. What a lovely little girl... Come and listen to her voice..."

"You, what do you want! The child is innocent!"

"Yes, your child is indeed innocent, but do you know what kind of harm the newspaper your newspaper will publish tomorrow will cause to more innocent people?"

"The sample manuscript has just been sent to the printing house, how did you know..." Mr. Fergus, who was known for his racial discrimination, felt that an unprecedented conspiracy was surrounding him. He worked overtime in the company just to write it himself.

Well, this headline for tomorrow makes inflammatory comments about this incident, calling it a crisis for the civilized world and advocating war retaliation.

"You don't need to know this. Don't worry, we respect your position on racial discrimination. But we will also send you another headline overnight... Maybe you should think clearly, is your daughter more important?

The headlines are more important. By the way, don’t try to call the police, what a cute little girl..."

———————[

"Mr. David, I heard that your newspaper has been operating poorly recently?"

"You, how did you know?"

"Here is US$200,000. As long as you agree to change tomorrow's headlines to this news, we will send an additional US$300,000..."

"..."

————————

"Mr. George, this is tomorrow's headline, please review it." A newspaper editor handed his extremely distorted news headline to the editor-in-chief of this famous newspaper.

"Very good, you put it down first, I will personally take charge of the correction." The conscientious George motioned the reporter to go out, and then closed the door. Just as he was about to revise this important front-page headline, the phone rang, and it turned out to be the big boss.

Called.

"George, I will send someone to deliver a news headline in twenty minutes, and he will supervise you to publish it on the front page tomorrow."

"Boss, there is something very newsworthy here..."

"No but, if you don't do it, I will make you the tens of thousands of unemployed people on Wall Street tomorrow."

"Yes, boss, everything is as you wish."

"Bang... bang..."

The Imperial Palace of Japan is located in the center of Tokyo and is the residence of successive emperors. It was first built in the 18th year of Tensho by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first general of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In the middle of this palace complex with green tiles and white walls was the emperor's main hall. At this time, there were crazy smashing sounds in the main hall, and the sound of breaking porcelain was even more frightening.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please calm down. Although our Empire of Japan suffered huge losses in this incident, we are not alone. The British are working with us to allow the Chinese to give a satisfactory result."

Kato Takaaki, as the Prime Minister of the Japanese government at the time, was somewhat caught off guard by the incident. After lowering his head and speaking, he couldn't help but look at Prince Kanin Miyahito, a representative of the Japanese military and the Emperor.

of confidants.

"Mr. Kato, you are harming the country!!" Prince Kanin Miyahito was furious. He strode forward and approached Kato Takaaki, as if he was going to hit him with his palm. "The factories and loyal soldiers of the Japanese Empire have suffered terribly.

It is a humane massacre, but you are here to say things that harm the country, which is really infuriating."

"His Majesty the Emperor, the Military Ministry has ordered the two squadrons stationed in Hongkou to be on strict alert and ready to engage in a new round of suppressive operations at any time. Admiral Okada Keisuke of the Navy Ministry has personally led the task force there. When necessary, absolute force will be used

Force!" Seishiro Sakagaki, as a key member of the China Section of the General Staff Headquarters, was specially ordered to participate in this high-level meeting. His stance on this incident was to resolutely fight back.

Emperor Taisho Yoshihito waved his hand. He was very aware of the dispute between the military department and the cabinet. However, as the head of the empire, he had to pay attention to controlling the overall situation: "The Americans and Germans strongly oppose our further expansion of the situation. The military department

The action is suspended, and the fleet should not hastily bombard Shanghai. We are not ready yet. Everything is led by the British. As long as they launch war operations, Hirohito, as the regent, leave this incident to you. You all retreat.

Come on, Hirohito stays."

"His Majesty the Emperor, urgent information just received." A royal guard chief came in and presented a message just received.

“Bang!!”

Emperor Taisho Yoshihito slammed the tatami in front of him and knocked the tea he had just brewed onto the ground. "Baga, it's Zhang Shusheng again!!!" [

The furious Emperor Taisho took a long time to calm down. The previous wave of anti-Japanese waves in China were all caused by this person. He even foiled the military's southwest plan. It took a long time for Yoshihito to calm down.

He waved his hand and handed the information to the military and political officials present: "You all should take a look."

When Prince Xianyuan Gongren heard Zhang Shusheng's name, he felt angry. The failure of the Japanese Empire in mainland China was almost all given by this man. Unexpectedly, he was still involved in this incident, so he quickly took over

The intelligence was found to be a top-secret intelligence report from the Ministry of Intelligence and a transcribed news report from the Asahi Shimbun. It said something similar: "...Southwestern China's warlord Zhang Shusheng today issued a transnational telegram to major regimes and media around the world.

He stated that this incident was ordered and planned by himself. He said in the call..."

What the Japanese emperor and military and political officials, who were trembling with rage, didn't know was that Zhang Shusheng's telegram contained a message: "... murderers will always be killed, and those who offend our great people will be punished no matter how far away they are.

I will never let him go. I don’t know much about diplomacy. Since you dare to massacre students and civilians, I will dare to massacre you... If you have the guts to attack me, come to the southwest and we will negotiate face to face..." v!
