As the main force of the Qianguo Army collapsed in Korea, and it seemed that it had no ability to organize effective operations at all, the image of the Qianguo in the eyes of Westerners began to deteriorate, and the original ancient country in the process of modernization gradually deformed into a country that did not want to make progress and had a weak government. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoJapan, on the other hand, duly advocated that the war was a "war of civilization versus barbarism" in order to positively subvert the previous impression in the minds of Westerners that the Qianguo was the representative of East Asia.

At the beginning of the war, Japan, which seemed to be at a disadvantage in the international audience due to the attack on the Battle of Toshima, quickly reversed the unfavorable situation in public opinion. Through its embassy in the UK, the Japanese government bribed the chief writers of well-known British newspapers and periodicals, such as the Daily Telegraph and The Times, to write articles with views in favor of Japan, in order to influence Western public opinion. The Japanese minister to Britain, Shuzo Aoki, reported the results of the bribery to Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu at the time: "In addition to Reuters, several major newspapers and telecommunications agencies have guaranteed cooperation. Westlake, a British pundit, openly stated: according to international law, the actions of the Imperial Navy were right. In Germany, the political correspondent of the Cologne Zeitung and the friendly Continental newspaper were also affected by this. In order to further expand my impact, you will need to provide me with a special grant of about £1,000. ”

At the same time, Japan, with the help of Westlake, a professor at the University of Cambridge and an expert in international law, who had been heavily bribed, seized on a key detail in the course of the Battle of Toshima and made a big fuss, that is, the use of the British steamer "Gao Sheng" to transport troops, and sophishyly argued that the British captain of the "Gao Sheng" had lost control of the ship as a result. Therefore, it was the Qianguo army that controlled the "Gao Sheng" in the front and the Japanese fleet attacked later, and the nature of the incident became that the Japanese sneak attack on the Qianguo troop transport fleet was to rescue a British ship that was under the armed control of the Qianguo army. On April 6, The Times published the opinion of Holland, a professor at Oxford University and a doctor of law, who said: "The stupid editorials of many newspapers are still full of impetuous words such as 'piracy,' 'undeclared war,' 'insult to public international law,' and 'severe punishment of the Japanese aggressors,' which is really unimaginable." ”

After conquering Busan and Seoul, the Japanese army captured the port of Wonsan, which was heavily defended by the Qianguo and Korean armies, in just one day. Because Yuanshan was located in the coastal Jedi, after the defense collapsed, many soldiers and civilians of the Qian-Dynasty could not escape, and the Japanese army began a massacre that lasted for four days and three nights on that day, and more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians of the Qian-Dynasty were killed. Many Western media reporters who went to the battlefield to watch the war were shocked, and a commentary published in the US newspaper "Century" showed that Westerners' perception of Japan immediately retreated in great strides because of this incident: "Japan is a monster with barbaric bones in the skin of civilization, and today Japan has taken off the mask of civilization and exposed its true face of barbarism." ”

After the Wonsan massacre was reported by the Western media, the Japanese government immediately carried out various remedial measures, and finally Japan formed a set of forms to explain the matter, that is, because the Japanese soldiers found that the bodies of their comrades had been slaughtered by the Qianguo army during the battle to attack Wonsan, so they were resentful, so they would only shoot in retaliation after the capture of Wonsan, and at the same time emphasize that the main people killed in Wonsan were Qianguo and Korean soldiers who had taken off their military uniforms and disguised themselves as ordinary people. Later, when the Japanese army explained that the massacre that took place in Seoul, the capital of North Korea, it was still a similar pattern and routine.

In order to change this situation, the Qianguo side invited reporters from all over the world to the battlefield to observe the war situation on the spot, and to write reports and send them back to their home countries for publication. For a time, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Korean Peninsula.

Jean Charles. It was here that Stre was surprised to meet his colleague, Ansel, a veteran journalist for the Paris Times, who had been known for his integrity as a war correspondent in Vietnam and who was leading a French mercenary army to help the army fight the Japanese.

Now, he will lead his squad into the jungle.

Charles opened the cigarette case and handed it to Ansel, he took one, said a simple "thank you", lit it, and took a hard puff.

Ansel is tall, stout and has the physique of a boxer. His skin was rough, his face was covered with brownish-purple acne, and he was scarred and gave the impression of being rough and savage, and his brown-red hair had grown a little more powerful.

According to Charles' knowledge, Ansel had participated in the French army and the Black Flag Army in Vietnam, fought for meritorious service in the defense of Hanoi, and was commended by the War Department, and now he appeared in Korea to help the cadres against the Japanese, and Charles wanted to know the reason for this.

At this time, Sergeant Major Basil was directing the whole line of soldiers and then brought them to Ansel. The soldiers selected by Basille on the conditions demanded by Ansel were all hot-blooded young French men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five.

After regrouping the thirty recruits, the sergeant major took a few steps before Ansel, reported their arrival, and gave him a roster of soldiers for a brief instruction. The sergeant major looked radiant and seemed to say to him: "Captain, these astute and tough soldiers I have selected will surely satisfy you!"

Ansel's majestic gaze swept over the stiff faces of the thirty soldiers, and they showed the confidence and heroism of the soldiers, proving to him that they were well-trained and genuine fellows, and that they all had a beautiful dream: to compose a magnificent song of meritorious service in the war abroad!

Ansel stood at the front of the queue and began his precept, a real inaugural address:

"Soldiers! (Charles remembers that Napoleon's speech at the Battle of Montenort began) You are all called up to Korea for special operations forces, and it is your honor that the sergeant major has selected you according to the criteria of tact, bravery, loyalty, and dutiness! ”

"I'm your new captain and my name is Kevin. Ansel. I will lead you into the jungle to attack the Japanese army camp and prevent the Japanese from threatening the 'secret passage'. The so-called 'secret passage' is in fact a transportation line, through which the personnel and materials of the Great Qianguo Empire enter Korea, and if the Japanese cut off this main artery, the Qianguo army in Korea and all of us will be finished! ......" He saw a slightly mischievous smile on the soldiers' faces, and he continued:

"Victory in the battle will make me a captain, and you will be promoted through the ranks, and you will wear tinkling medals and medals on your chests. It will bring glory and wealth to you, to your family, and to future generations! Koukou
