“…… This barbaric massacre of the civilized world against the underdeveloped countries, which caused a large number of innocent students and civilian casualties, is an incident against humanity...... He played an extremely disgraceful role in this massacre, not only bribing the British to love Fusheng and openly organizing the massacre, but even mobilizing the garrison in the Hongkou area with the intention of carrying out a larger-scale massacre of students and civilians in Shanghai...... Due to the frantic resistance of the mysterious forces, the massacre turned into a counter-massacre, and the British and the two countries suffered heavy losses...... Here's an urgent telegram from a New York Times reporter from Shanghai:

…… I experienced this damn massacre firsthand, and I was in the café on the third floor when the students' procession was brutally suppressed by the British authorities on Nanking Road, after which unknown militants appeared and drove a vehicle with a heavy machine gun to ...... the British patrolmen Now in the concession, the streets are deserted, the concession authorities have imposed martial law, and more troops are entering the fortifications ......"

————The New York Times"...... At a time when Western civilization is gradually being accepted by all races around the world, in China, a barbaric and backward land, there is a brazen massacre of barbarians against civilized people. In this naked massacre, nearly a thousand heroic soldiers of the British Empire were premeditated and took their precious lives...... This is the blatant act of war of the barbarian nations against the civilized world since the end of the 19th century, and it will inevitably be ......"

————The Telegraph of the United Kingdom"...... In this barbaric massacre with unconclusive evidence, the Chinese people chose to seek freedom and survival, and carried out a civil rebellion rarely seen since the nineteenth century. In confronting the squalor and filth of two powerful imperialisms, they showed great strength. According to the telegram sent back by this reporter, a large number of Westerners in the concession area at that time witnessed the tragedy, and even witnessed the struggle from a massacre to a counter-massacre......"

————Rheinische Zeitung"...... This is a sign of the awakening of the Chinese nation, and the ancient nation has not let go of its last dignity. The warriors of the nation have chosen to resist resolutely!! These warriors will become national heroes...... Do not be afraid of the frenzied retaliation of imperialism, we will surely be reborn in the blood of nirvana......"

———— Shanghai declaration ........................ On May 16, 1925, after the May 15 tragedy in China, even though there was a huge time difference, the world's news agencies and major newspapers received the news as soon as possible.

This very, very timely news was not sent back by their reporters, but was sent to the editors-in-chief and reporters of the newspapers through an unsigned telegram. And when it was confirmed that the tragedy that happened in Shanghai, China, was true, the news media of all sizes around the world suddenly smelled like a bloody shark, and did not hesitate to make headlines on the front page, sending the process and its dramatic "May 15 tragedy" to readers as soon as possible.

However, while the anonymous news cables received by the major newspapers are the same, they take different positions.

Some newspapers immediately chose to defend Western civilization and, from the standpoint of white people, named the tragedy an act of open war against the civilized world by an underdeveloped country.

For the sake of circulation, some newspapers are reluctant to publish the same news as several old newspapers, so they take the risk of publishing different news, and very few stand on the position of the yellow race. This is not that they pity the Chinese, except for the United States and Germany, for various reasons, the position is different from Britain and France, other countries choose to be neutral, or even gloat. The so-called imperative empire and the emerging small countries of East Asia, which have been extremely powerful in many international incidents, have been attacked head-on this time.

Unlike previous events in China, this news event is of great value, and some people have provided news clues that are almost synchronized with those of the old newspapers in a timely manner, providing a complete course of events. Therefore, some newspapers have not followed the trend as before.

After all, if they don't even have access to news sources and no journalists based in China, they have to follow the trend to survive, but this time, the situation is different.

Of course, there are also some factors of accidental surnames. For example, on the day of the incident...... "Mr. Fergas, I'm sorry to tell you that your daughter is in our hands." What a cute little girl...... Come, listen to her voice......"

"You, what do you want!! The child is innocent! ”

"Yes, your children are innocent, but do you know what kind of harm your newspaper will do to more innocent people with the newspaper that your newspaper will publish tomorrow?"

"The proofs have just been delivered to the printing press, how do you know......" Mr. Fergas, who was known for his racist tendencies, sensed an unprecedented conspiracy looming over him. He worked overtime at the company to personally write the headline for tomorrow, in which he made incendiary comments about the incident, calling it a crisis in the civilized world and advocating war revenge.

You don't need to know this, rest assured, we respect your racist stance. But we'll also send you another headline overnight...... Maybe you should think about whether your daughter is more important, or the front page headlines. By the way, don't try to call the police, what a cute little girl......"

———————— "Mr. David, I heard that your newspaper has been doing a little hard lately?" ”

"You, how do you know?"

"Here's $200,000, and if you promise to change the headline to this one tomorrow, we'll send an extra $300,000......"

“……”

———————— "Mr. George, this is tomorrow's headline, please review it." "A newspaper editor gave his own grossly distorted news headlines to the editor-in-chief of the famous newspaper.

"Very good, you put it down first, and I'll be responsible for the proofreading myself." The dutiful George motioned for the reporter to go out, then closed the door, and was about to revise this important front-page headline, but the phone rang, and when he heard that it was actually the big boss calling.

"George, in twenty minutes I'll send someone to deliver a news headline, and he'll oversee you getting it on the front page tomorrow."

"Boss, but here's a newsworthy ......"

"No, if you don't, I'm going to make you the 10,000th unemployed on Wall Street tomorrow."

"Yes, boss, everything is as you wish."

"Bang...... Smack......"

Located in the center of Tokyo Castle, the Imperial Palace was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, in the 18th year of Tensho.

In the middle of this group of palaces with green tiles and white walls is the main hall of the Emperor. At this time, in the main hall, there was a crazy smashing sound, and the sound of porcelain breaking was even more terrifying.

"His Majesty the Emperor is angry, this incident, although our empire has suffered huge losses, it is not isolated, and the British are together with us, so that the Chinese can give a satisfactory result."

Takaaki Kato, who was the prime minister at the time, was a little caught off guard by this incident. After bowing his head and speaking, he couldn't help but look at Prince Zaihito of the Xianyuan Palace on the side, this representative of the military department is also a close confidant of the emperor.

"Mr. Kato, you are mistaking the country!!" Prince Zaihito of the Xianyuan Palace was furious, strode forward, approached Kato Takaaki, and seemed to raise his palm to hit someone. "It is said that the factories and loyal soldiers of this empire have been brutally slaughtered, but you are here to say things that mislead the country, which is really infuriating."

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the military headquarters has ordered the two squadrons stationed in Hongkou to be on strict alert and ready to plunge into a new round of repression. Admiral Keisuke Okada of the Admiralty has personally led the task force there, and if necessary, absolute force will be used! "Seishiro Sakagaki, as a key member of the China Division of the General Staff Headquarters, was specially ordered to participate in this high-level meeting, and his stance on this incident was to resolutely fight back.

Taisho Emperor Yoshihito waved his hand, and he was well aware of the dispute between the military department and the cabinet, but as the head of the empire, he had to pay attention to controlling the overall situation: "The Americans and Germans strongly oppose us to further expand the situation. The operation of the military headquarters was suspended, and the fleet should not hastily shell the beach. We are not ready, everything is led by the British, as long as they start a war operation, Hirohito, you are the regent, this matter will be left to you to deal with. Stand down, Hirohito stay. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor, urgent information just received." A palace chief walked in with a letter of information he had just received.

"Bang!!"

Taisho Emperor Jiaren slapped the tatami mat in front of him violently, and knocked over the freshly brewed tea on the ground, "Yaga, it's this Zhang Shusheng again!! ”

The furious Taisho Emperor calmed down for a long time, and the previous waves of anti-rhetoric on the land of China were all caused by this person, and he even thwarted the military department's southwest plan, and after a long time, Jia Ren waved his hand and handed over the information to the military and political dignitaries present: "You all have a look." ”

As soon as Prince Zairen heard Zhang Shusheng's name, his heart was full of anger, and he said that the failure of the empire in the Chinese mainland was almost all given by this person, but he didn't expect that he was still involved in this incident, and hurriedly grabbed the information, and found that it was a top-secret information of the Ministry of Intelligence and a transcribed news report of the Chaoyu News, only to see that it had a similar meaning: "...... Zhang Shusheng, a warlord in southwest China, issued a cross-border telegram to major political regimes and media around the world today, stating that he had ordered and planned the incident. He said in the call......"

What the Emperor and the military and political dignitaries, who were trembling with anger on the spot, did not know that there was a paragraph on Zhang Shusheng's telegram: "...... Murderers will always kill them, and those who offend my big Han people will be punished even if they are far away, and Lao Tzu will never let him go. Lao Tzu does not know any diplomatic rhetoric, since you dare to massacre students and civilians, Lao Tzu dares to massacre you...... There is a kind of rushing to Lao Tzu, you come to the southwest, and we will negotiate face-to-face......"
