"July 24, 1927, a day destined to be remembered by history. In many former colonial countries, it was even regarded as a holiday as important as the founding of the country or independence, and was called Anti-Colonial (British) and Republic of China (National) Day.

Because of this incident, the Shandong issue has become the focus of global attention. At the later meeting in Washington, Japan, the Japanese side had to be forced to make the issue one of the official agenda items of the conference......

(Author's note: At the original Washington Conference, the Sino-Japanese negotiations on Shandong were "marginal negotiations" that were not included in the formal agenda.) But our Master Yuan single-handedly changed that. ）

After mediation and arduous negotiations between the two sides, an agreement was reached between the two countries on the return of Qingdao's sovereignty.

(Author's note: In fact, China also took back the sovereignty of Qingdao, of course, in this timeline, China must have paid a little less.) I won't go into more detail about this. ）”

Although the "Letter to the People of Britain and the World" published by Miss Lin Huiyin in public was not positively praised by the mainstream public opinion circles in Britain and some imperialist countries, some conscientious intellectuals in these countries also approved of this form of resistance. Members of the Second International published articles expressing a certain degree of praise for this.

In other countries and regions, this great anti-colonialist declaration was unanimously appreciated and welcomed.

After this, Lenin personally sought out the Chinese comrades about the situation in Hongmen and evaluated this organization as a very revolutionary quasi-political group in history.

The high-level leaders of Soviet Russia also had praise for the 'Hibiscus Army' and the '723 Incident'.

It is said that the Third International also wanted to absorb the 'Hibiscus Army', but this organization suddenly disappeared in the history that followed. Although there were also organizations under the banner of the Hibiscus Legion in the future, after investigation, it was found that none of them had anything to do with the '723 Incident'.

There is an unconfirmed version that the main members of the Hibiscus Regiment all went to Nanyang and joined the Chinese anti-colonial movement there.

And this incident also affected us in the United States of America.

Prior to this, most of the American people thought that the Hibiscus Corps was doing something very scuffy, but it was itself a violent group that should be condemned. But after that, even those most opposed to the Hibiscus Legion were opposed only to their means, not their ends.

Another consequence is that the image of the Chinese is suddenly much better. Many Americans realized that they weren't all insensitive, squint-eyed people, and that there were also hot-blooded idealists.

At the same time, there was an upsurge among the Chinese in North America to join the Hongmen......"

"Phew!"

A Hongmen disciple very rudely knocked open the door of An Liangtang's big dragon head office, and said breathlessly: "Big man, incense master." Outside, outside, outside......"

Sure enough, it's coming!

Situ Meitang and Huang Jishi glanced at each other and sighed deeply.

"Huang Laoshi" said angrily: "Big guy, you go first!" Go to San Francisco or go back home to avoid the limelight, I'm here to come! ”

Situ Dalongtou waved his hand and said, "Lao Huang, I am the master of the hall, how can I go?" Let me deal with the cops......"

"Big guy, what policeman?"

The Hongmen disciple interrupted the two of them very impolitely again, "It's not the police who are coming outside, but the reporters. By the way, there are also a lot of applicants who want to join Anliangtang. ”

"Huh?!"

"The 723 event was undoubtedly a great inspiration and encouragement to colonists all over the world.

In India, the incident sparked a split in the Congress party. This is the second split in the Indian National Congress since 1907.

Although in September 1920, the Calcutta Special Conference of the Indian National Congress Party and the Napur Annual Conference in December formally adopted Gandhi's plan of non-violent non-cooperation and the party platform drafted by Gandhi, making non-violent non-cooperation the guiding ideology of the Congress Party.

But the '723 Massacre' undoubtedly makes violent action a very encouraging option.

In February 1922, Gandhi announced the cessation of the first non-violent non-cooperation movement because of the violence unleashed by the hibiscus army, which demoralized the participants and caused ideological confusion within the Congress ......" (Author's note: This is the case historically. ）

"And in the hometown of the 'Hibiscus Army', the impact of the '723 Incident' is even more far-reaching.

The 'Hibiscus Army' has become an idol for young people. Even Miss Lin Huiyin, who made the statement on her behalf, became famous and was called 'the first beauty of the Republic of China'.

At that time, the southern government praised the hibiscus army, and the northern government, under social pressure, retracted the condemnation statement it had originally issued.

At the same time, it greatly encouraged the group of communist revolutionaries who met at the same time in Shanghai, China.

Historically, they met eight times between July 23 and 30, the last of which was an additional meeting for the incident. They decided to support the righteous actions of the Hibiscus Regiment in the name of this newly formed party.

This is also the first time that this political organization has expressed its ideas to the outside world. (Author's note: This is not the case historically.) In the original timeline, they only had seven meetings. Death can only go so far. ）

Immediately after the declaration, US Secretary of State Mr. Hughes issued a statement expressing the hope that Britain would resolve the incident 'with restraint', 'calm' and 'humanity'.

President Harding even bluntly told the press that he could not see why the British refused the demands of the Hibiscus Corps, but only to apologize, and whether their face would be more important than the more than 50 lives?

Not only the United States, but also many countries around the world, including the abduction of the crown prince, the Japanese government has made similar statements.

But the British government has been slow to decide.

In fact, Lloyd's Prime Minister's cabinet is simply not willing to make such a public apology. He even said privately that he would rather have his cabinet fall than solve the '723 incident' in this way.

Fortunately, the Hibiscus Legion is not a ruthless terrorist. On the contrary, they are a group of creative activists. They ended this event that shocked the world in an unexpected way......"
