Chapter 162 The Power of Public Opinion
You went to Shengjing in person and told my uncle that Fengtian must be prepared to prevent the invasion of the TT team as soon as possible, and let him cooperate with Zhao Gang to hand over Fengtian's defense." Zhang Yunfei said.
"Yes! Young Master!" Zhang Er replied.
Zhang Yunfei ordered again: "At the same time, order the Wolf** organization in Jilin and Heilongjiang to meet Jilin General Changshun and Heilongjiang General Shoushan immediately, telling them that Russia will have a large-scale military invasion, and ask them to withdraw all the people in their jurisdiction to the provincial capital to defend, and to strengthen the walls and clear the fields in various places, and no grain of food shall be left to the Russians. We will pay all the losses, and we will give them one million taels of silver. If they think it is not enough, you will make the decision by yourself until they are knocked unconscious."
Zhang Er asked: "Does the uncle from Shengjing also send some to express?"
Zhang Yunfei nodded and said, "Yes, he has not been missing in recent years, and this time is no exception. I will bring him one. In addition, it is best to let him say hello to Changshun and Shoushan, maybe I can help you more!"
"Yes, young master!" Zhang Er replied.
"By the way, you can take time to notify the Wolf** organizations in various places. No matter what method you use, you will give me a large number of immigrants to the Northeast, the more the better. I will reward the organizations with the most immigrants in the region." Zhang Yunfei said.
"Young Master, the court only allows immigration to areas north of Shanhaiguan and south of Shengjing, and the Daguandong area is still forbidden. I am afraid that our actions will arouse opposition from the imperial emperor, the empress dowager, and the princes and ministers in the court, and affect the young master's plan!"
Zhang Yunfei waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just taking advantage of this crisis, I will submit the court for approval!"
"Yes! Young Master, I'll do it now! Does the young master have any more things to explain?" Zhang Er asked.
Zhang Yunfei shook his head and said, "It's not available for the time being. If there is one, I will notify you! Go!"
"It's the young master!" Zhang Er turned around and left.
After Zhang Er left, Zhang Yunfei looked at the official uniforms and seals on the table. The seals were seals of the ministers of the Navy and the private seals of the public and private seals of the public and private seals of the public in the auxiliary state. The main python square was filled with red and blue ground uniforms. The dome single-eyed peacock feather official hat. Black and white embroidered boots.
Zhang Yunfei knew that this was the standard equipment of Qing Dynasty officials. Seeing the square official seal, Zhang Yunfei reached out to pick it up. The good guy weighed a kilogram. Zhang Yunfei was speechless.
No wonder senior officials of the Qing Dynasty didn’t like to go out. No one would be happy to hold such a large official seal.
Suddenly, he saw a fake braid next to the official uniform. Zhang Yunfei shook his head with a wry smile and thought to himself: "This Zhang Er is really meant. He has got all the fake braids."
However, as long as you don’t go to Beijing, you can only wear official uniforms. You won’t wear fake braids for the time being.
After instructing people to put away the things, Zhang Yunfei didn't wait for Fisher and Delis, and asked someone to say hello to them and then took a boat to Lushun.
Honolulu General Staff
The telegram from Dalian Bay was already ten days old, but when it reached Honolulu, due to the time difference, it was only noon that day.
As soon as the Chief of General Staff Tian Renjie finished lunch at home, he received an order from Zhang Yunfei, so he hurriedly returned to the General Staff and began an emergency deployment operation.
First, in accordance with Zhang Yunfei's instructions, we informed all over the world of the news of the victory in the Yellow Sea and the recovery of Lushun in a clear form.
Then, he notified Zhang Yunfei's instructions to the Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi, asking him to immediately notify the ambassadors of various countries, and angrily denounced the Russians for forcibly occupying Lushun.
At the same time, Ms. Chen Xiaolei, the Honolulu news censor, immediately held a press conference to the news reporters of the Honolulu offices of news organizations around the world, saying that since Honolulu, as the Qing Dynasty's Navy Minister and General Shengjing, had the obligation and responsibility to protect the coastal defense fortress Lushun, he would take action against the Russian Far East Fleet, claiming that Honolulu was conducting self-defense operations.
In this era when news is not very high, whoever takes the initiative first will take advantage.
The Honolulu government's series of actions have caused all staff of the embassies of various countries in Honolulu to get a signal that the Russians have occupied the Qing Dynasty's Lushun, which is Zhang Yunfei's territory. Honolulu will take corresponding military actions called self-defense counterattacks.
This preconceived information made ambassadors of all countries believe that Russia's military actions were immoral and violated the Convention of All Nations.
At the same time, we praised Honolulu's new term, the military operation of self-defense counterattack, and believed that this was a responsible military operation.
All the ambassadors immediately sent back news to their respective national governments, that is, the Russian Far East Fleet violated the Convention of All Nations and fought without declaration, forcibly occupying the Qing Dynasty's Lushun. Zhang Yunfei, the Yuan Dynasty of Honolulu, was preparing to take military action to fight back on his own defense.
Similarly, Director Zhang Si of the Military Intelligence Department, who was already very busy, is now even more busy, and the rumbling sounds in the telegraph room are constantly ringing.
More than 20 radio officers kept sending the telegrams in their hands to the Wolf** organization around the world, conveying the orders of Zhang Yunfei's global public opinion offensive.
In less than two hours, Sandalwood
The information explosion was like a huge shock wave quickly spread to all over the world
Members of the Wolf** organization around the world quickly dispatched bribes, threats, and agents used all kinds of means to make local news media, newspapers, and various public organizations, the Russian Far East Fleet occupied Lushun, and Honolulu prepared to fight back on its own defense.
For a time, people in the local streets and alleys knew that Russia was a robber and that Zhang Yunfei was about to fight for justice.
Knowing news is one aspect, and the most important purpose is to create the image of Russian robbers and barbarians in the subconscious of the people of all countries around the world. It makes the people of Europe and the United States dislike the Russians. This first impression is very important. In this era of information, it is quite difficult to make people change their first impression.
Even in modern society, with high information reaching today, ordinary people in many countries still have the understanding of China at the level of striving for a full meal.
The purpose of Zhang Yunfei doing this is because Russia is currently his main enemy. Zhang Yunfei will use any means of attacking or burying the enemy without hesitation.
In this era, leaders of various countries did not attach much importance to the power of public opinion and only stayed at the level of not being able to release reactionary information.
However, Zhang Yunfei knew that by using public opinion to influence the general population, the general population would then affect the members of parliament in various regions, and then the decisions of the senior national leaders would be affected layer by layer.
This kind of public opinion attack that starts from the roots of the tree and affects the treetops will not change for a long time once it is formed, unless the country restricts public opinion.
Europeans all pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor. Even if the two countries are in a bad mood, they must declare war first and then fight. Even Americans who disdain for European gentlemanly demeanor, there must be a sufficient reason to fight the Spanish-American War and declare war before fighting.
When Zhang Yunfei ambushed the Japanese fleet in the Andaman Sea, he was unanimously condemned by European countries and prepared to politically isolate the Honolulu government. Fortunately, Honolulu used the power of public opinion to issue Honolulu and did not violate the Convention on All Nations. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the war has not ended.
Although this reason is very far-fetched, in fact, countries have long known that Honolulu would have a battle with Japan. Because Zhang Yunfei has been clamoring for a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy, he has simply recognized Honolulu's behavior.
Now, the Russians' sneak attack on Lushun has slapped European countries hard. Although invasion of the Qing Dynasty has always been the default behavior of all countries, at least every invasion has an excuse not!
After receiving the report from the Embassy in Honolulu, European governments have issued news to condemn Russia's unreasonable aggression.
However, the government's routine condemns Russia's aggression, but gives the country's media organizations a signal that the government occupies Honolulu's side.
Originally, governments of various countries were just doing superficial work, and no one deliberately isolated a European power for a yellow country. However, they did not expect Honolulu to launch an unprecedented public opinion offensive, and the public opinion media of various countries mistakenly understood the government's attitude. As a result, after the publicity, it caused the whole nation to condemn Russia's behavior in a nature.
It was indirectly fed back to governments of various countries. For a time, the governments of various countries realized the seriousness of the situation. Because such a large-scale condemnation action would definitely make the Russian government know, and the Russians thought that their government was doing this on purpose.
The French government is the most depressed. As an ally of Russia, it was originally just making a comment on the face to not offend Zhang Yunfei, but it led to the strong contempt of the Russians by its citizens.
The French government hurriedly controlled all news media. As a result, because France is a republic system, citizens are very concerned about the media. After the media is controlled by the government, it immediately attracted greater demonstrations.
Seeing that it was impossible, French President Francois Filifour had to cancel the news control and secretly informed them to try their best to downplay the reports of Russia's occupation of the Qing Dynasty, Lushun. He himself hurriedly summoned the Russian ambassador to Paris to explain the reasons.
After receiving the report from Major General Delis, the German government was very ordinary, and neither cared about public opinion nor expressed any opinions. Because they already knew that the Russian fleet in the Far East was wiped out, Zhang Yunfei had recovered Lushun.
German Emperor William II and German Prince Blov were particularly low-key because they did not want to stimulate Bismarck to resign in Russia in the year. The new German authorities gave up the Reinsurance Treaty. Four years later, France and Russia formed an alliance, and Bismarck's European order also collapsed.
