In Paris, France, Yu Lian argued with the president for three days before finally getting the president to agree to publish these contents. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's not that the president doesn't want to publish it, nor does he really want to question the content, they run a newspaper, and they just need to attract people's attention regardless of the truth.

It's just that the president saw the above about France, it was a scandal, and Le Figaro was recently seeking a special fund from the French Ministry of Information, so he didn't want to offend the government.

But Yu Lian's blood was red, and he threatened and roared with all kinds of lofty excuses, such as the conscience of the newspaper operator, and finally got the president to agree.

It's no wonder that he didn't even play with his life, but he pressed all his family resources, and his wife didn't let him go to bed for a day these days, and he paid such a big sacrifice and blocked most of his life savings, but the president refused to publish it, isn't this his life.

Now that the president has finally relented, Yu Lian ran to the printing department as fast as he could, and personally stared at these people's typesetting and printing.

The influence of Le Figaro was not a Berlin tabloid, it was a real world newspaper.

The article of Le Figaro spread throughout the Western world the next day.

Berlin's newspapers were reprinted, and the streets of Berlin were filled with extraneous business.

"Look, look. Eight-Nation Coalition Far East Robbery Record: The Greatest Ugliness of this Era, the Crime Cloaked in the Cloak of Civilization. ”

Yang Chao also bought a German newspaper and read it with relish.

The French have a good handwriting, and they are a nation known as romantic.

Yang Chao found that the deputy editor-in-chief also helped him polish it, and what he said was more incendiary. However, he put it another way, Yu Lian narrated it as an eyewitness, and finally explained that this was his visit to a conscientious officer who had been wounded in the Beijing Rescue War and returned home early, and that a large amount of data and information came from the officer's diary.

Well, more authenticity.

"It seems that the Germans are still powerful! What do you say, Mr. Bernard? ”

Throwing down the newspaper, Yang Chao looked at Bernard and said.

Bernard had also read the newspaper.

His face was gloomy: "Rumors, they are all rumors, and they are malicious slander by the French against Germany." We will protest against this. ”

Yang Chao shook his head: "Protest? Forget it! We all know how it goes. It's just that no one has shaken it out before. The so-called civilization, once shaken out, is full of. ”

Yang Chao is unceremonious, he now has the capital to be unceremonious, because this Bernard now has a request for him.

It had been grinding all morning, and he hoped that Yang Chao would present the diamond to the Kaiser in the form of a national gift.

However, what Yang Chao proposed was that Germany voluntarily gave up its demand for reparations and at the same time promised to help build an arsenal in China with an annual output of 100,000 rifles, 1,000 machine guns and 300 cannons, but the Germans categorically rejected this request.

Bernard's face was not good-looking: "I promise, this is definitely a rumor. ”

Yang Chao didn't bother to argue with him, this kind of thing is really hard to admit.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

Yang Chao shook the newspaper.

Bernard said: "Naturally, our government will investigate and then refute the rumors." ”

It is estimated that opposition parliamentarians in various countries have already questioned the prime minister on this matter.

However, foreigners are not stupid, they naturally will not stand up for the first time to say that they are spreading rumors, and they must pretend to say that they will conduct an investigation, and after a while the public's attention shifts to other things, and then come forward to make a summary without pain, saying that there are indeed individual soldiers involved in the robbery, and then deal with a few parties, and this matter will be turned into a small matter.

However, Yang Chao did not give them a chance, and sure enough, the next day, the Japanese government publicly declared that they admitted that the robbery was true, and the Japanese government had verified that the Japanese army had indeed participated in the encroachment of the Chinese government's public property, and expressed regret for this, saying that the Japanese government had the responsibility to supervise the failure to do so.

At the same time, the Japanese government announced that as for the silver looted, it would be difficult to return it to China for a while because of the difficulty of collecting it, so they decided to offset the indemnity owed by China to Japan and waive the remaining indemnity at one time.

The statement of the Japanese suddenly caught politicians from various countries off guard, and they didn't play like this, although everyone didn't discuss it, but they all had a tacit understanding with each other, didn't you see that all the governments of all countries were saying that they wanted to investigate.

At the same time, the French also continued to report, Yang Chao gave a thick stack of information, the content of which is detailed, the data is detailed, specific to which one, which person, the credibility is still very high, so it is also inexhaustible, Yu Lian in order to create an effect, ignore the newspaper manager's request to report the content of the Germans first, but at once the content of the eight countries is extracted, one at a time slowly, each time is the face of the eight countries slapped together.

In this way, he Yu Lian can be noticed to a greater extent and be known in more countries.

When he met Bernard the next day, he had a black face.

The reason is very simple, after this incident, the German emperor resolutely refused to agree to exempt the reparations, yesterday he just did not agree to help build the arsenal, today he did not agree to anything, but he must have diamonds.

Just like a child who makes a mistake will not admit it, just like a child who makes a mistake and you punish him with a candy he will be very angry, but if you compliment him with good words and let him give the candy to others, he may also accept it happily.

The self-esteem of the German emperor was no worse than that of a child.

"Do you think such a request is reasonable?"

Yang Chao said to Bernard.

Bernard said, "Then what do you say to do?" His Majesty has already burst into a rage. ”

Yang Chao sighed: "Isn't this easy?" It can be done in another way, one that sounds good, and one that is more acceptable. ”

Bernard said, "For example? ”

Yang Chao said: "For example, the Germans do not give up the reparations, but take out the reparations and establish a fund to be used as a scholarship for Chinese students studying in Germany. What a good thing to hear about this, Germany is willing to help China develop. As for the wars waged, they can really be glorified as saving churches and diplomats, not for plundering profits from China. ”

Bernard said: "I hope Your Majesty can accept it." ”

It was a good thing to please the Kaiser, but now it has caused Bernard a headache, the Kaiser must get the diamonds, but he refuses to offer enough prices, which makes Bernard caught in the middle is not a human being, if it can't be solved, you can imagine his outcome, this foreign minister should be the end.

"Then you have to hurry. The French are playing with their lives to destroy Westerners, slapping civilized countries in the face. Who knows how much they still have in their hands. So you'd better convince the Kaiser as soon as possible before the Kaiser is provoked by something new. ”

Yang Chao suggested.

Bernard ignored it.

Yang Chao sighed again: "You said that if you had done this thing yesterday. Germany was the first to stand up and announce the waiver of China's reparations, where is there anything today. ”

If Germany had announced the waiver of reparations in advance, the international acclaim it would have received would have been able to slash the impact of today's newspaper news a little.

Bernard nodded slightly, and immediately went to work.

In this era, Germany is not much stronger than Russia, it can be said that a country is moving around an emperor, and it is just a layer of civilization that is more than China, so many problems are the problems of the emperor.

Bernard said Yang Chao's idea, and after his calculating brain and another processing, it immediately became a great benefit to Germany, if Germany can cultivate a generation of Chinese, then the future of China is German; At the same time, Wilhelm II, if it really contributed to this, would be an event of great international influence. It will play a significant role in changing Germany's international image.

The German emperor was indeed very angry, the reason for the anger was not the German robbery, to be honest, the reason why the German soldiers robbed the most crazy was more or less related to his connivance, he asked the soldiers to treat the Chinese like the Huns, at that time this matter was also promoted by the West as a diplomatic incident, and was called "the most restless tongue in the whole of Europe" by Western countries.

And in the First World War, this matter was again pulled out by the Westerners, who described the German army as the Huns.

But it was a big tongue, sometimes just talking about it without actuality, and he said that the Jews should be gassed to put an end to these "nasty things", but when Hitler was really killing the Jews, he said that for the first time he felt ashamed of being a German.

Today, I suddenly heard that Germany will gain a good international image.

"Especially in front of the French, we will prove what civilization is!"

Bernard said excitedly.

At the mention of the French, Wilhelm II was immediately moved, didn't the French always laugh at the Germans as barbarians, look at the image of the French in the newspapers, it is not much better than Germany, if Germany takes the lead in announcing that it will do something beneficial to China, not only can it harvest a priceless gem, a diamond larger than the jewel in the crown of the Queen of England, but also can take advantage of this to despise the French, why not.

As for the reparation, it was really not much money, it was not as much as what Germany knocked out from the French thirty years ago, and besides, the value of that gem was enough to cover the reparations, although no one would really take such a large sum of money to buy such a gem, but its valuation was there, so that Wilhelm II had a psychological step to go down.

So the Kaiser finally planned to accept it, but he was a little jealous of the arsenal, after all, building an arsenal for the Chinese was equivalent to enhancing China's strength, which was not good for Germany.

After thinking about it for a long time, the Kaiser suddenly became a little clever, and he couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, and laughed very proudly.

"Commissioner Yang, do you really want to give the diamonds to the Germans?"

Zaifeng has never communicated with Yang Chao, but he has to thank Yang Chao for this matter.

Because he knew very well in his heart that this diamond had been exchanged for too many things, the arsenal would not talk about it, the key was the issue of reparations, compared to these, the issue of etiquette was not important, of course, it was not important to mention, that is, he didn't have to bow to the Kaiser three times, he only needed to bow once.

"That's right!"

Yang Chao nodded.

Zaifeng sighed: "I heard that diamond is very valuable. It must be your family heirloom, right? ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "It's just a gem, the prince should have read the historical records." Back then, the people of the Qin State could send carts of gold, silver and jewelry to the six countries, but didn't they all return to the treasury of the Qin State in the end? ”

Zaifeng was speechless, the people of the Qin State dared to send money to the corrupt officials of the Six Kingdoms, that is, they were confident to get it back, but the Great Qing Kingdom, these things still don't want to be wanted.
