Chapter 309: In the Light of Humanity
Although the later Henry Dunant did not end up in ruin, he began to be admitted to Hayden Hospital in 1892, and it was not until 1895, when a reporter came to interview him, that he accidentally discovered that the depressed patient in front of him was actually the founder of the Red Cross. Since then, Henry Dunant's fortunes have changed slightly, and he later won the Peace Prize for Dynamite. However, because he was always wanted, he never returned to his homeland for the rest of his life, and finally died in a foreign land. Had it not been for the help of some people at the time, the dynamite peace prize money he received might have been forcibly taken by the court, but in the end Henry Dunant did not use the prize money, and after his death, all the prize money was donated to the public good.
However, it should be mentioned that the fact that Gustave Moignière, the secretary general of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who is now visiting the Northeast Autonomous Region, has a big conflict with Henri Dunant does not mean that this gentleman is not dedicating himself to the charity of the Red Cross. The world is not a pure dualistic theory, and those who contradict Henry Dunant are the bad guys.
It's just that Wang Yi also understands that Gustav's trip to the Northeast is definitely not a simple charity exchange activity with the Red Heart Society, and there are some special interest groups operating behind it.
"Although the topic of our meeting today is very broad, I can see that what Gustav and his party are concerned about is the more than 100,000 prisoners captured by our insurance team on the battlefield in East Russia." Shen Yazhi expressed her guess, and she and Wang Yi sat down on the bench next to the tree-lined path at this time. The surroundings are beautiful, but the topic is a little unpleasant.
"The Red Cross is now gaining a high status in Western countries, but the Russians put the matter of returning the prisoners on them, but they miscalculated."
"I am afraid that the ambassadors of the European countries who have come to the Northeast to attend the meeting this time will put pressure on us on this issue. And it directly saves the face of the Red Cross, and it seems to affect our perception in other countries as well. ”
"Pressuring?" Wang Yi smiled coldly and said, "Pressure, how to pressure?" Let's release the captives unconditionally? Why? Does the Red Cross still have this function? ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, Yazhi, you don't have to be embarrassed. I will give Gustav's face, which can be regarded as a help to charity, and after going back for a while, I will inform Wang Xiaoxiao that all the Russian prisoners and wounded soldiers captured in our northeast will be handed over to the Red Cross in step by step, and let them send people back to Russia, but only for ordinary soldiers, as for those with military ranks, don't expect this treatment. Wang Yi thought for a while and said: "This matter is done in the name of your Red Heart Society, and the contact object is also the Red Cross Society, and by the way, I will give you the name of the Red Heart Society." ”
"What if they continue the captives they want?"
"The Red Cross is only a humanitarian organization, and since we in the Northeast are not members of the Commonwealth and have not agreed to sign the Geneva Accords, we have no obligation or responsibility to release the soldiers of our empire." Wang Yi knew that just saying this was obviously not convincing, but for him, he had seen all kinds of methods in the later generations, and it was not difficult to solve the current problem. "Inform the major news agencies in Shengjing that the process of the transfer of the wounded between your Red Heart Society and the Red Cross will be open to the media around the world, and at the same time, the venue of this humanitarian event will be ...... It was placed in the newly built Metropolitan Art Museum, and the military reporters in the insurance team made public all the information about the concentration camp where the Russians tortured our prisoners after the capture of Krasnoyarks was made public. ”
"Also at the Metropolitan Art Museum?" Shen Yazhi looked at Wang Yi in surprise, never dreaming that he would come up with such a solution.
"Not only at the Metropolitan Art Museum, but also at the same time, with narration translations in the world's major languages alongside all the horrific photographs. By the way, we also need to be matched with a guide, isn't everyone worse than anyone, I think who can compare to us! ”
War is cruel, Wang Yi has always believed this, and its cruelty is not only against the soldiers who fight, but also for civilians.
"Didn't we ask reporters from several major newspapers and radio stations in Northeast China to go to the Northeast to investigate the tragedy committed by the Russians during their invasion of our country, and put these materials on display at a photo exhibition? We want to tell the world that this cruel war we are waging is just, a war against aggression and hegemony against brutal Russian murderers, and we want to show the cruelty of the Russians without reservation in the spotlight of the whole world. Their bloodstained and unspeakable crimes, one by one, were all exposed to the eyes of the people of the world. ”
Although Wang Yi did not have such a plan before, the experience of later generations told him that it was one thing to do, but how to say it was another matter. Compared with the Russians, the name of the Northeast has not been much better in the past two years, killing more Russians, and exterminating all the Russians who resist everywhere they go. According to the report handed over by the Intelligence Service afterwards, there were more than 300 Russian and Cossack villages that had been erased from the map alone, of which nearly a third had become dead, and the rest had either been converted and transferred to various parts of the region by the Northeast Autonomous Region, or were mining in the dark mines, or building roads and bridges in remote places.
This is still for the ordinary people in the occupied areas of Russia, as for those soldiers, this East Russian war is an exception, a group of wounded soldiers were captured, mainly because the number of prisoners was too large, and if the means were too intense, the Northeast was afraid that there would be problems. And the wounded soldiers of the previous wars did not have such good luck, and they were directly disposed of on the battlefield, but it was just a matter of bayonets. Of course, there are also some who abandon the dark and turn to the light, as long as they submit their names, Wang Yi also allows them to join the Northeast Insurance Team, but if they want to return to Russia, they don't have to count on it. Now the supreme commander of the Russian army who has taken refuge in the northeast is Vasilyevich, who was choked enough by Dragomilov! At that time, they were all left on the east bank of the Yenisei by the strategic retreat, or more directly by the fleeing Dragomilov.
There are still eight divisions left in the two corps, most of whom were Skobelev's subordinates back then, and they are considered old opponents of the Northeast Insurance Team. Besieged by the Northeast Insurance Team, which is twice as large as himself, everyone knows that it is a dead end. However, they basically knew the attitude of the Northeast towards Russian prisoners of war and wounded soldiers, so most of them had no idea of surrendering. However, Vasilyevich, who was nimble-minded, was obviously not among them, personally raised the white flag and surrendered to the northeast, and personally led his troops to raise the butcher's knife to the two divisions brought by Dragomilov.
This product is definitely not a good person, but what does it matter?
Wang Yi is going to fight a war of public opinion with the Russians in front of the whole world today, and Vasilyevich is the most advantageous propaganda weapon in his hands.
