Finally, Xia Bohai said: "All of you have made very good speeches, to be honest, I also agree with the announcement of this news, first, I believe in our determination, will not be intimidated by this news, and second, our goal is to establish a transparent, democratic, open and efficient government, and every person who travels through should have the right to know." However, in terms of the timing of the announcement, a good time should still be chosen. Now that we are about to enter the war, I think it should be announced after we enter the war, so that it will not affect our participation in the war, and second, after our initial victory, it will boost our confidence and hedge against the impact of some of the announcements. ”

The others listened and had no objections, so they decided to do so.

After all, the East China Government has been preparing for this war for several years, and now it is waiting for this moment, so naturally it cannot give up halfway; moreover, although the Shanghai New Area has suffered serious damage, it has not yet reached the point of stopping or postponing its participation in the war.

After the meeting, the East China Government did not delay for a moment, and the Executive Yuan immediately issued a formal order to remove Yang Yuxin from all posts, and the administrative affairs of the Shanghai New Area were temporarily jointly represented by several other officials, waiting for the arrival of the new district head; at the same time, the Executive Yuan set up a special case group to go to Shanghai to take over the trial of Yang Yuxin, while Zhou Senhang was still in charge of the trial by the working group, because after all, his situation was different from that of Yang Yuxin, and he had already been convicted of treason.

Then, the Foreign Affairs Committee officially issued a document to the Japanese Consulate in Qingdao, severely accusing Japan of planning and organizing the launch of the May 6 Shanghai terrorist attack, which caused heavy casualties and economic losses to the East China Government, and caused a serious negative impact, and demanded that the Japanese Government must formally apologize to the East China Government and admit its mistakes, severely punish the organizers and participants, and compensate the East China Government for its losses, and ensure that no similar incident will occur. Before the Japanese Government satisfies the demands of the East China Government, the East China Government will immediately stop all political, economic, and cultural exchanges with Japan, immediately freeze all Japanese assets in the East China Government, and order Japanese consulate members, businessmen, and overseas Chinese to leave the territory of the East China Government within 48 hours.

At the same time, the consulates of other countries are also notified of the decision of the East China government. In addition, it was announced to the whole society in the form of a newspaper, and at the same time, the newspapers published photographs, names, and other materials of some of the captured Japanese spies as evidence.

Sure enough, after the announcement of this resolution, it immediately caused a great shock among the countries, because no one expected that the reaction of the East China government would be so fierce, which was basically equivalent to completely severing diplomatic relations with Japan and officially declaring war. However, the East China Government has been actively preparing for war, and its troops have already been deployed in the western Liaoning region, and it is almost imperative to participate in the war, so all countries also believe that the East China Government is just taking this opportunity to completely tear up its face with Japan.

Although all the governments of various countries had already predicted that the East China Government would have a great chance of participating in the war, first, the East China Government had not participated in the war after all, so there were still variables; second, the time for entering the war had not yet been determined, and this decision of the East China Government not only indicated that the East China Government would inevitably enter the war, but that it was about to enter the war.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is, and the East China government obviously intends to seize this incident as a pretext to declare war on Japan, and this kind of thing is nothing new in European countries, as long as they want to fight, they can always find excuses. Seven years ago, the United States also used the USS Main incident as an excuse to launch the Spanish-American War, and now the East China government is just following the same example. As a result, after receiving this news, the governments of various countries also launched urgent consultations on how to deal with the major changes in the Far East.

And in the afternoon, countries began to express their attitudes.

In fact, before launching an attack on the Shanghai New Area, Japan had already considered the consequences, and it was possible that it would be subjected to a strong reaction and retaliation from the East China Government, but Japan's judgment of the current situation was that the East China Government would enter the war within a week, so whether or not there was an attack on the Shanghai New Area, the East China Government would definitely participate in the war, and launching an attack on the Shanghai New Area might be able to prevent the East China Government from entering the war, or delay the East China Government's entry into the war, and at least it would have some impact on the East China Government.

However, Japan has long thought of a countermeasure, which is simply two sentences, if you don't admit it, you will fight it. Therefore, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Japan issued a statement expressing its attitude. In its statement, Japan sternly criticized the East China Government as completely fabricating and fabricating facts, that Japan had nothing to do with the terrorist attack on the Shanghai New Area, that all the evidence presented by the East China Government was forged, and that the Japanese Government had always maintained Sino-Japanese friendship, was willing to maintain good relations with various political forces in China, and fought a bloody battle to help China resist Russia's invasion。 The East China Government is responsible for the adverse consequences.

The second Russian government to make a statement, when the news reached St. Petersburg, it was late at night, and Nicholas II was woken up in his sleep by the ministers, and after listening to the ministers' reports, he was immediately very excited, and cheered "God bless Russia" continuously. In Russia's view, Japan's actions were undoubtedly sure to provoke the East China government and prompt it to enter the war as soon as possible. Russia, on the other hand, could sit back and watch the tiger fight, let the Japanese and East China governments fight to defeat both, and take advantage of the battle between the two sides to regain the lost territory, and finally clean up the mess and become the only victor.

Therefore, the Russian Government issued a statement overnight, strongly condemning the Japanese Government for its terrorist attack targeting innocent civilians in the Shanghai New Area, and fully supporting the East China Government's actions against Japan, and at the same time being willing to provide help to the East China Government. Maintain world peace and defend the justice and conscience of mankind.

Of course, Russia's statement that it was carrying a large amount of its own private goods did not attract much attention. Britain and France have expressed regret over the terrorist attack in the Shanghai New Area, but they hope that the East China Government will remain calm, that it should seriously investigate the perpetrators, and that it will not make rash conclusions, and that the East China Government's actions against Japan will seriously affect the balance and stability of the region and cause a new conflict. At the same time, the two countries also proposed to the East China Government that the two countries are willing to come forward to set up an international investigation team to investigate the terrorist attack in Shanghai and find out the truth of the incident.

As a matter of fact, Britain and France both know that the East China Government will never stop military action because of the attitude of the two countries, but what needs to be said still has to be said.

Other countries, such as Germany, the United States, Italy, Austria, and other countries, have also issued statements one after another, expressing their sympathy for the terrorist attack on Shanghai, and on the other hand, calling on the East China Government to remain calm and resolve the problem by peaceful means.

However, while various countries appeared in the air, another important party, the Qing court, remained silent, as if the matter had nothing to do with it. Of course, all countries instinctively ignored the existence of the Qing court at this time, as it should have been.

But now the Qing court has become a mess. At the same time as the East China government issued a statement, through Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong, it issued a stern warning to the Qing court, demanding that the Qing court severely punish Prince Su Shanqi and compensate for the losses of the Shanghai New Area. From now on, the transport was cut off until the Qing court took action satisfactory to the East China government.

Of course, Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong knew about these things that Prince Su had done, after all, there were more than 300 people gathered, and there were 6 or 70 guns, and it was impossible to hide such a big movement. However, Prince Su and the radical Manchu magnates jumped out one after another to warn Yuan and Zhang not to do much. After Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong discussed, they also thought that it was better not to say that Cixi supported these Manchu magnates in order to limit the power of the Han ministers mainly Yuan and Zhang, so even if the two of them stabbed this matter to Cixi, at most they would reprimand Prince Su for themselves, and Cixi would never punish Prince Su.

It's better to pretend not to know, let Prince Su jump, anyway, this time Prince Su is going to be provoked by overseas Chinese, but how can overseas Chinese be provoked, when the time comes, there will naturally be overseas Chinese to clean up Prince Su, and he can save his worries.

Now that they have received a warning from overseas Chinese, both of them are secretly happy in their hearts, and Prince Su's good days are afraid that they will come to an end, so the two immediately jointly played to Cixi.

After receiving the demolition of the two, Cixi couldn't help but be shocked, in fact, although the Manchu magnates tried to hide this incident, Cixi still heard some rumors, but Cixi also pretended to be confused. Cixi's thoughts are actually similar to Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong, she knows that the Manchu magnates are very dissatisfied with their laissez-faire East China government, but Cixi also has bitterness in her heart and can't say it, what can she do if she doesn't let go of the East China government? The current Qing court still has the capital to confront the East China government, but she can't suppress the Manchu magnates too much, because now it is still necessary to use the Manchu magnates to contain the Han ministers, so this time Prince Su wants to pick up the overseas Chinese, just when he goes to meet and break the bloodstream, knowing that the overseas Chinese are powerful, it will be better to stop in the future, and if the overseas Chinese pursue it, he will throw Prince Su out as a scapegoat.
