Section 712 Disillusionment with the government
Wang Qiu was even more enthusiastic than Li Sidi, but he found Li Sidi first and told Li Sidi that this was a good opportunity, Li Sidi also quickly said that this was a good opportunity, Wang Qiu said that he wanted to use public opinion to put pressure on the government, Li Sidi also said that he would use public opinion to put pressure on the government, Wang Qiu said to let Pan Xun have a good headache, and Li Sidi also said that Pan Xun had a good headache.

Then he found that he didn't have to do anything, Wang Qiu immediately ran over to stir up public opinion, and the news that the merchant ships under the banner of Yangzi Petroleum Company were seized in Hawaii by the Australian Federal Navy under the flag of the British Empire immediately spread throughout China, and the government clearly criticized the government for not protecting its own merchants, and asked the government to come forward to explain.
Yangzi Petroleum Company, with the word Yangzi, is naturally a hot spot, and then the merchant ship was detained, and other words have stimulated the nerves of the people.
The Pan Xun government has been exhausted enough, unemployment remains high, and the Prosperity and Qiang Party has been organizing strikes to demand that the government give workers jobs, demand that the government improve workers' welfare, reprimand the government for not caring for the lower classes, and now it has begun to criticize the government for its poor protection of business.
Pan Xun's spokesman quickly responded to the matter, he found it very troublesome, if you look at the world free trade system established by the British, this matter Yang Zi Oil Company is very inauthentic, the British Mexican Oil Company is in trouble, you run to buy Mexican oil, isn't this to support the Mexicans, and there is a provocative taste of the British Empire, the whole world does not dare to buy Mexican oil, you want to buy it, you can't buy oil there, you have to join in the fun.
But can Pan Xun say that Yang Chao is wrong in this matter, can he say that Yang Zi Petroleum Company is at fault first, if he says that, he will definitely be put on a weak hat immediately.
Therefore, Pan Xun's people only said that the government is investigating the situation, and will definitely give an explanation to the people and Chinese businessmen, and will never let a businessman's legitimate trade be infringed upon, and the Chinese government has the determination and ability to safeguard the interests of its own businessmen.
On the surface, he sang a high profile, but in private, he began to carry out activities, mobilized his own public opinion, and immediately explained to the people that the ins and outs of this incident were that the Yangzi Oil Company ran to Mexico and the British to fight between a pole, which allowed the Australian Navy to detain the cargo ship of the Yangzi Oil Company.
After such public opinion appeared, there were also sensible celebrities who came out to express their understanding, but I don't know whether these celebrities were invited by Pan Xun.
Seeing Pan Xun's response, Wang Qiu was extremely excited, and shouted into Wu Yizhong, saying that Pan Xun also has today.
Pan Xun has not yet come back to his senses at this time, and he is not indifferent, while creating public opinion for compromise and paving the way for future compromises, and at the same time contacting the British government, asking them to deal with this matter as soon as possible, and after asking the Australian government to publish any misunderstandings, this matter will pass, and no one will mention it in a few days.
Therefore, Pan Xun handled this matter a little carelessly, fighting a public opinion war with Wang Qiu on the one hand, and grinding his tongue with the British on the other, wanting to turn a big thing into a small matter, and no one should be offended.
But if Pan Xun was resolute in the past, and wanted to use nationalism to canvass for votes, he wished that there would be such an emergency that could confront the British Empire, but now he is bent on solving social problems, and he doesn't care about such trivial things at all.
So time dragged on and on, Pan Xun only saw Wang Qiu constantly putting pressure on the government in the newspaper, asking the government to properly handle the matter, and he defended vigorously, saying that the government was already dealing with it and would soon be able to give the people an answer.
But can it be fast?
Obviously, it can't be fast, the first hurdle has to pass the British pass, the British let the Australian warship stop the Yangzi Oil Company's cargo ship, leaving a considerable amount of leeway, even if the trouble is a big deal in the end, it is a big deal to abandon the car to protect the commander, the fire can not burn the British Empire, and their attitude to protect assets in Mexico is still very resolute, although the British Empire is not as good as before, but not just a cat and a dog can jump out and take it, the British Empire has investment interests all over the world, and today Mexicans want to nationalize foreign capital, Tomorrow, the Brazilian government will also nationalize foreign capital, and then Chile, Iran, and the British Empire have saved up that little money for hundreds of years, and they will not all be divided up by these mud legs.
Therefore, the British Empire could not afford to take this risk and could not let Mexico take this bad lead, so they accepted the opinion of the United States, stood with the Americans, and united to resist the pressure of China.
This kind of is a year and a half, and that's normal, but Pan Xun can pull the skin, Wang Qiu can pull the skin, and the people can't be in a hurry.
At this time, Wang Qiucai changed his approach, not attacking the government for not caring about the interests of businessmen, not attacking the weakness of the government, but affirming the positive attitude of the government in negotiating with the British, but raised the issue of the government's ability, published a special commentary, and vigorously criticized the Pan Xun government for its inefficiency.
This attack can be described as vicious, and at this time Pan Xun realized that he had strayed into the trap that Wang Qiu had dug for him, and was led into a misunderstanding by Wang Qiu step by step.
Ever since Wang Qiu began to team up with Li Fuan to make trouble for him, he found out how much strength Wang Qiu had accumulated after so many years of hibernation.
Under the leadership of Wang Qiu, the Propaganda Department of the Fuqiang Party unwittingly attracted more than 1,000 powerful figures, all of whom were editors, commentators, and celebrities of China's major newspapers.
Knowing that he was deceived, Wang Qiu deliberately diverted his attention from arguing with himself, and then slowly paved the way in the hearts of the people, and finally led to the problem of government inefficiency, the biggest reason for Pan Xun's reduction of the National Reconstruction and Development Office was inefficiency, and now the inefficiency has been deducted from the government, and he has no way to refute it, because this matter has been delayed for a month, from September to October, and the iron-clad fact cannot be denied at all.
Pan Xun, who understood that he had lost a journey, immediately made amends and stopped arguing with the British, and immediately sent a strongly worded note to the British, demanding that the Australian Navy immediately let them go, otherwise China has the right to impose sanctions on British merchant ships and does not rule out the possibility of blockading the Strait of Malacca.
This kind of wording, all of a sudden, made the British government contradictory, Mexico's oil assets are very important, but more importantly, they can't let their global asset chain break, these years Saudi Arabia, Iran and even Iraq are not worry-free, those chiefs have no less appetite than Mexicans, and are more accustomed to picking up a knife to speak, and now they are pressed by the British Empire's hundreds of years of prestige, if they see the success of Mexico, they are lucky and take risks, although the British Empire is not afraid, But it's too much trouble to put out fires everywhere, and Europe is not yet alive, and they have the energy to fight fires all over the world.
The best way is to nip the delusions of the Mexicans in the bud, and use embargoes and blockades to bring them to their knees, which is already the mildest means of the British Empire, if it were before, their warships would have sailed to the coast of Mexico, when the Chinese dared to burn their tobacco, they all dared to burn the Chinese's palace, a small Mexico is nothing.
Therefore, the British Empire could not and did not dare to compromise easily.
But Pan Xun did things more than just talk, he knew that if he didn't take practical measures, it would be difficult to win back people's hearts.
So after the British refused, Pan Xun immediately sent the Nanyang Fleet south to the Strait of Malacca, making an attitude of really wanting to blockade this place, and hyped it up in the newspapers, trying to create the image of a strong government.
But at this time, Wang Qiu still had something to say, saying that such a small incident of the seizure of a merchant ship would develop to the point of military confrontation, and the national diplomatic ability of the Pan Xun government was really worrying and disappointing.
Anyway, no matter what you do, the opposition will always find stubble, because if you do things, you will make mistakes, and if the opposition does not do things, it will never be wrong.
But Pan Xun's approach worked in the end, and the British did not dare to take the risk of confrontation with China at this time, so they could only issue a letter to cover up, saying that the reason for the seizure of the Chinese merchant ship was to suspect that the merchant ship was hiding arms, and after investigation, it was just a normal equipment ship, so they decided to let it go.
Well, the British Empire has put all the pressure on the United States, anyway, they have already expressed it, and now it depends on the attitude of the United States, and the British Empire cannot be left alone.
After leaving Hawaii, the merchant ships continued on their way to Mexico, but a few days later they were intercepted by the U.S. Navy and asked them to return to Mexico, refusing to allow ships of any country to approach Mexico until Mexico renounced illegal means to infringe on U.S. interests.
The British had just been leveled, and now that the Americans had jumped out again, Pan Xun suddenly felt a headache.
However, this time I learned wisely, and publicly stated for the first time that the Chinese government does not accept the words of the Americans, and that the legitimate trade between China and Mexico must not allow any country or force to coerce by force, and China will never accept threats!
But the Americans have rarely toughened up, in fact, they can't be blamed, Roosevelt's second term has just begun, and he has unluckily encountered the second round of economic crisis, and the country has begun to be dissatisfied with him, the Supreme Court has declared his industrial revival law and other regulations unconstitutional, and the opposition forces have obviously launched a counterattack against him.
Moreover, the social crisis accompanied by the economic crisis is very intense, and the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor by the Chinese a few years ago has left an indelible scar in the hearts of the American people, and the Sino-US non-governmental relations are not as good as they seem, and if he is soft on the Chinese at this time, Congress will dare to impeach him.
Pan Xun didn't dare to move the real thing, the eldest brother on both sides didn't laugh at the second brother, they couldn't solve the matter in one mind, and the matter dragged on for half a month.
At this time, Li Sidi suddenly stood up and expressed his disappointment with the government, believing that if the government formed by the Fuqiang Party, it would never be so inexperienced.
At the same time, he announced that the Yang Zi consortium would handle the matter in its own way, and at the same time announced that he would go north to participate in the oil and gas pipeline opening ceremony in November.
The world's attention immediately turned to northern China, to the powder keg in Siberia. (To be continued.) )
