What is the basis for victory in a war? Is it a strong army? Is it a well-equipped weapon? Is it a wise general, or is it an adequate logistics?

These are all needed, but the core and fundamental is what the ancient Chinese called the issue of people's will, in the organization, preparation, action, and conflict of a war...... Until the post-war negotiations, the will of the people has always played a key role in such a large system project. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The people's will sounds very ethereal and nihilistic, often in the eyes of the world, the people's will can always be suppressed by the power, this is especially obvious in the Middle Ages, in the law of the jungle, the winner has all the right to interpret, and the loser can only passively accept.

But people often ignore one point, when you can defeat the opponent with an overwhelming advantage without any suspense, of course, you can temporarily ignore the people's aspirations, but what about the encounter between the two powers?

Or two tigers fighting for territory, but there is a group of lions around them? This situation is complicated, and at this time, the seemingly ethereal will of the people has become the key factor in determining victory.

The international conflict at the end of the nineteenth century was basically this situation of two tigers fighting each other and feeding wolves, for example, the war between the Chinese and Tsarist Russia in the Far East, which seemed to be just a hot war between two peoples, but there were too many major powers involved, and even the United States across the Bering Strait has been paying attention to this war.

Xiao Letian is a person who is good at fishing in troubled waters in chaos, he can't let go of such a good opportunity for public opinion warfare, he wants to defeat Tsarist Russia on the battlefield, and he also wants to win on the moral and popular front.

Pierre brought with him a plan of action that was the trigger for the media wars that lasted for two years, 1869 and 1870, and he finally started the whole project in Hamburg.

The relationship between the British and Tsarist Russia was not good, a Crimean War tore the two sides apart, and Tsarist Russia has always been unwilling to be a land power, and has been looking for a warm water port to break through the British maritime encirclement for a long time.

In the Crimea, in the Central Asian region of Afghanistan, including in the Qing Far East, Tsarist Russia's expansion plans always had a very clear purpose, and that was the warm water port, which was the great benefit of maritime trade.

Some analysts think that Britain has changed its national policy toward Tsarist Russia because it has temporarily cooperated with Tsarist Russia and seized a few arms ships for Xiao Letian, which is really a very absurd argument.

Britain just hoped that both Tsarist Russia and the Chinese would lose, and the only reason he helped Tsarist Russia was that the Chinese rose too fast and dazzling, and they needed to be restrained.

All Britain wants is that both sides are bleeding and bruised, and if the Chinese are too strong, they will beat the Chinese, and if Tsarist Russia becomes bigger in the war, Britain will also support the Chinese.

It is just a matter of balance and has nothing to do with the fundamental strategy of the country.

The balance game of politicians, the common people do not understand, those British nobles, gentlemen, peasants and workers, still have no good impression of the polar bear of Tsarist Russia, after the victory of the Crimean War, the proud chin of the British people is raised to the sky, and they are always full of contempt for those barbarians in the north.

This is the gap in the egg, this is the breakthrough of Xiao Letian's plan, if you want to provoke a big melee in the entire European media, you can't make too many enemies at once, France will put it in the back first, let's start with Tsarist Russia.

Pierre's first article was first published in The Times, and the British press was as excited as if it was a holiday, carefully watching the number of new newspapers in circulation.

As long as this article is hot, then the sales will be high, and the high sales will prove that the people like to read it, and if they like to read it, they will carry out in-depth reports to dig out all the wealth value of this hot spot.

The golden pen pole Leo is really extraordinary, he threw out the massacre in the Daqing gold mine at the beginning, and directly presented the cruel rule of Tsarist Russia over the aborigines of the Far East to Chiguoguo in front of the people.

"Good and upright citizens of Europe! Maybe you don't know until now that Tsarist Russia ceded nearly a million square kilometers of land from the territory of the Qing Dynasty ten years ago...... That's more than three times the size of Great Britain, in that barren tundra on the east coast of the Pacific Ocean!"

"Any country in the world, if it expands so much land at one time, there will always be a momentary moment of satisfaction, and it will always temporarily restrain its minions and choose to be a civilized gentleman!

"The Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty clearly states that all the property of the aborigines before the signing of the treaty is protected and recognized, and even the aborigines of China who commit crimes must be punished in accordance with the laws of the Qing Dynasty......"

"Shouldn't the black-and-white treaty be observed? Where is the most respected spirit of contract in Europe? Is it illegal for the Chinese to mine gold in the ancient gold mines that have been passed down from generation to generation? Why did they get a massacre?"

"They didn't even think about collecting taxes from the Chinese aborigines, but they just raised their butcher's knives! Wasn't their purpose to rob Chiguoguo? A million square kilometers of land have been robbed, and now even the wealth of the ordinary people in this land has to be robbed?"

"The Chinese will not watch the barbarians carry out bloody and cruel suppression of their compatriots, the Chinese war is to tell those barbarians what is civilized society and what is the true spirit of contract!"

"The Chinese used this war to make an important circumstantial evidence for the whole of Europe, that is, all the previous national policies of defending, repelling, and encircling Tsarist Russia were correct!"

"A barbarous nation can never represent the civilized world! The arbiter of Europe must never be handed over to such a country!"

The big black letters on the newspaper were as if Xiao Lotian was roaring at the whole of Europe, and with the help of Leo's golden pen, Xiao Lotian showed the whole of Europe all the ins and outs of the Far Eastern War.

How did the Russians swindle and deceive a million square kilometers of land, while Britain and France only got a small benefit, and Tsarist Russia did not use much troops, but the result was the most.

After that, he introduced in detail every detail of the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, which was not many words anyway, and it was easy to explain. Later, all the cases of the massacre of civilians by the Tsarist army in violation of the treaty were clearly written.

It was a great revelation, and the whole of London and then the whole of England were dumbfounded, and people living in peace had never seen such ugly savages.

Coupled with the fact that they already looked down on those polar bears, and the pride of the citizens of the Empire on which the sun never sets, they still have to scold the fools of other countries when they have nothing to do, but today someone took the initiative to send ammunition so that they could complain heartily.

It's a big festival!

"Oh God! these barbarians are so shameless, no wonder the empire has to fight them again and again, this is simply a group of savage cannibals!"

"God will punish them, treacherous fellows are doomed to hell!"

"Resolutely can't do business with these people, without the slightest spirit of contract, they will snatch the last copper plate from their partners!"

"Filthy polar bear, get out of the ocean of the empire on which the sun never sets, and go to the frozen land to eat ice and snow!"

A scolding war began.
