Chapter 682 Ending the War (3)
As a non-party country, German and American news media have more of their reports on the Battle of the Taiwan Strait from their own perspective.
German [Rheinland] published an editorial that the failure of the Far East Expeditionary Force means that Britain's hegemony for more than 200 years will officially end, and the Royal Navy is no longer an invincible maritime force. Other countries can do what the East China government can do. Therefore, in future international affairs, Germany can completely ignore the attitude of the United Kingdom and adopt more aggressive plans to win a broader space for the survival and development of its own nation, so that the German nation stands tall among the nations of the world.
[Berlin News] published an article saying that in the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, there were many German-made battleships, armored cruisers and protective cruisers made by Germany, or Germany sent technicians to assist the East China government in the battle. These warships all performed very well in this time, including the previous Battle of Tsushima. The Natuna Islands Naval Battle was the basic guarantee for the victory of the East China government. This shows that Germany's ship manufacturing capabilities have reached the world's leading level, which is Germany's pride.
The United States' [Washington Post] published a long commentary article, believing that the Battle of the Taiwan Strait means that the Far East War, which lasted nearly three years, will end with the complete victory of the East China government. The East China government not only gained huge geostrategic benefits from the war, but also likely to obtain huge war reparations after the war, and coupled with the vast territory of Northeast China, it has obtained. Therefore, an emerging force suddenly rises on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Although this force had a good relationship with the United States before, it will inevitably have serious challenges to the interests of the United States in Asia. The United States must make measures and plans to deal with it as soon as possible.
[Freedom Lighthouse News] believes that although the East China government cannot be considered a formal country at present, after winning the Far East War, there is almost no force that can stop this newly emerging political group for only six years, replacing such an old, corrupt, backward and weak empire, becoming the new master of this country with a territory of more than 10 million square kilometers and a long coastline. This change will not last long and will be completed within the next 5-10 years. This country already has a huge population and rich resources. Under the rule of a new and powerful leader, it will inevitably become a major country with both sea and land, which will inevitably completely change the power structure of the entire Far East, and it will inevitably challenge all countries with interests in the Far East, including the United States. In this major change, the United States will inevitably be prepared to deal with this challenge.
Of course, the most lively public opinion is in China. On the second day after the victory of the Battle of the Taiwan Strait, the East China government issued a declaration, proclaiming victory, and of course it also reaffirmed the image of the East China government protecting national sovereignty, territory, and fighting foreign aggression, and seizing moral high ground. At the same time, it severely accused the Qing court and some Chinese people of this battle not only did not support the East China government, but instead colluded with foreign forces to interfere with, control, set up obstacles in the East China government, etc. The declaration raised a question, why the East China government was able to defeat foreign invaders repeatedly, while the Qing court suffered repeated defeats to the outside world. It also stated that starting the next day, a series of long articles will be published for six consecutive days to answer this question.
This is also a comprehensive public opinion guide planned by the East China government before the war. Taking advantage of this great victory, six articles in six days not only elaborated in detail that since the establishment of the East China government, it has safeguarded national sovereignty, territory, and protected overseas Chinese from abroad; implemented land reform internally to benefit farmers and achieve social fairness and justice; opened up new teaching, opened up people's wisdom, cultivated high-quality talents, and made every effort to make the best use of people; actively developed modern industry, colonized production and developed the country, achieved great economic achievements, and greatly improved the living standards of the people under the rule of the East China government, etc.
On the other hand, a series of numerical comparisons include the social, economic and livelihood indicators in Shandong before and after the establishment of the East China Government; there is also the social, economic and livelihood indicators in Shandong and other provinces after the establishment of the East China Government; there is also a series of indicator comparisons between the East China Government and the Qing court, which are detailed, clear, and clear, which is far more convincing than empty talk. The East China Government's culturalization, civilization, efficiency, and enterprising, and the conservative, ignorant, basic and backwardness of the Qing court.
It also recorded that since the time travelers landed, they wanted to serve the country, but the Qing court ignored the time travelers' great achievements in saving the country and suppressed, interfered, and controlled the time travelers, forced the time travelers to break up with the Qing court, established the East China government, separatist one side, and did not be bound by the Qing court, and did their own business. However, the Qing court set up various obstacles on the East China government for its own selfishness, and did not hesitate to collude with foreign forces, obstruct the time travelers' governance development, etc. This completely vilify, belittle, and blacken the Qing court, and further make the Qing court completely lose its moral advantage as the current legal ruler of China.
Finally, we list the various political affairs of the Qing court since the Opium War, pointing out that the Qing court was the biggest obstacle to China's progress towards civilization, modernity, prosperity and prosperity. As long as the Qing court exists, China cannot truly become stronger. Therefore, the East China government believes that it is necessary to completely overthrow the Qing court and establish a new China. Only in this way can China completely get rid of its shackles and move towards prosperity and civilization from then on.
Although the East China government has completely broken with the Qing court, and everyone knows that the East China government will definitely replace it with the Qing court, everyone is unhappy and will not say it out. This time, the East China government officially proposed the political proposition of overthrowing the Qing court and establishing a new China.
After these seven long articles were published, it did cause a great sensation among intellectuals in China, because the East China government had a high reputation and credibility in China. The Qing court used the expeditionary force to suppress the momentum of the East China government. Because in terms of the ranking of the powers, Britain and France were definitely in the top two, and Japan and Russia had to take sides later. The East China government had offended both these two powerful countries, causing them to jointly send troops to fight China, which really made many people disgusted with the East China government and turned from fans to black.
But the East China government is competing to defeat the expeditionary fleet. You should know that this is the world's strongest and second-strongest army, which is comparable to non-Japanese and Russian troops. It is not a symbolic dispatch of troops to the Eight-Nation Alliance, but an elite fleet sent from the local area. It was defeated by the East China government. The huge contrast immediately caused a strong rebound in support of the East China government, and the momentum naturally increased. Not only did the people who turned black and turned fans back, but a large number of people who were originally unfeeling in the East China government turned to support the East China government. After all, except for a very small group of people, no people do not want their country to be strong. Although the East China government is not a country now, it is not a fan or a dark one. They all agree that the East China government is part of the Chinese nation, and a considerable number of people who are not insensitive to the East China government have also joined the ranks of supporting the East China government.
The seven long articles in series pushed an emotion to the top, because the East China government is now on the cusp of public opinion, of course, how to say it is reasonable, and the actions of the Qing court were not enough. In addition, the Qing court has not done many things to meet in the past few decades. Therefore, the long articles overthrew the Qing court and established a new China, which aroused many people, because it was the young people. When the elderly saw it, they just sighed and said: "The evils that God has done can still be forgiven, but the evils that he committed will not be alive."
The East China government then compiled these seven long articles, plus more than 30 other articles published before, into a volume, and published them with the title of [Seven Days Talk]. Once it was launched, it triggered a rush to buy. The first edition of 30,000 copies was sold out in less than 10 days. Later, it was reprinted twice in a row, with a total of more than 100,000 copies being issued.
During this period, a large number of people from all over the country almost every day, mainly young people defected to the East China government in order to pursue national independence and prosperity. Of course, there were also many of them who saw that the Qing government had gone through the general trend and that the East China government had no choice but to establish a career. Therefore, they joined the East China government and would be able to establish a success in the future and to establish a meritorious person in the future. Although some people reminded that among these people who defected, there may be spies from the Qing court or other countries, after discussion, the East China government decided to refuse and accept them all. After all, as long as management, supervision and education are strengthened, even if there are spies, there is no need to be afraid. In the face of the general trend of the world, spies cannot make a big fuss.
In addition, the East China government proposed to Germany that it hoped that Germany would mediate the relationship between the East China government and the Netherlands. The German government was indeed very interested in this role and quickly expressed its willingness to play the role of this mediator. Now Germany is the peak of national strength, with the world's industrial strength, the second largest economic strength in the world, and has strong armed arms. So it began to pursue an international status that matches its own strength, and to be a passionate power and be able to make its own voice in international affairs. For this reason, Germany did not hesitate to provoke the Monaco crisis last year.
