Chapter 1348: The Empire's Counterattack
Because of the surprise of Chinese and Western cultures, the empire had no reputation in the Western world, and now the Germans are deliberately smearing, except for the iron-clad allies of the empire, the image of the empire in Europe has been blackened as if it is the bottom of a pot. Even in some of the empire's allies, there are some discordant voices in the country. Still, the mainstream voice is pro-Empire.
After all, whether it was the Kingdom of Spain or the Kingdom of Belgium, if it were not for the empire, they would not be as powerful as they are now. Once Germany becomes the true hegemon of Europe, it will not be a good thing for them either. Therefore, the mainstream media in both countries are singing the praises of the empire, believing that other countries are deliberately smearing China.
In response to the recent unfriendly remarks made by Germany and other European countries against the Reich, the Reich quickly responded with a response. Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan ordered the imperial embassies in various European countries to immediately issue a protest to all countries. We call on all countries to quickly put an end to such wanton smear remarks.
The Imperial Ambassador to Germany, Liu Xihong, immediately met with German Foreign Minister Albrecht. Feng. Earl Ron solemnly posed this question to him. Ambassador Liu Xihong pointed out that if Germany does this again, it will inevitably make the contradictions between the Reich and Germany more acute and rupture the already difficult diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Although, Albrech. Feng. Earl Ron was also aware of this. However, he knows better what Germany's national policy is, and now Germany has long been unable to stop, and they can only go all the way to the dark. Therefore, in the face of Ambassador Liu Xihong's request, Albrecht . Feng. Count Ron politely refused. He pointed out that Germany is a democratic country, Germans have freedom of the press, and the German government has no right to interfere in the reporting of German newspapers. Such diplomatic rhetoric. Of course, Ambassador Liu Xihong was dissatisfied. However, he also knew that the Germans were determined to disgust the Chinese Empire, so he could only leave. Arguably. It was precisely because of this incident that diplomatic relations between the Reich and Germany became worse and worse.
"陛xià. Now all of Europe is the voice of the discrediting empire, and under the propaganda of those newspapers, the empire has become an evil country. They said that we had killed all of Japan, and that the empire would pursue a policy of genocide after its world rule, which made the citizens of other countries hostile to the empire. Even the nationals of the Empire's allies were affected. If this continues, the reputation of the empire will be completely ruined! Imperial Foreign Minister Wei Yuan said with a dark face. In his opinion, the behavior of the Germans was simply too shameless. Even these indiscriminate methods have been used. In today's Germany, where there is a world power, there is no difference between it and hooligans.
"The Germans smear it, just discredit it! Anyway, the Reich can't stop it, unless we go to war with the Germans now. However, if war were to start now, the empire would not be ready either. So, we can only watch the Germans make trouble now! Long Yufei said.
"Your Majesty, can't we do nothing?" Wei Yuan frowned, when did the Emperor Long Yufei speak so well! Long Yufei's character has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people. If anyone sins against me, I will kill. The Germans are now putting on the head of the Chinese Empire, how can the Empire not fight back? In that case, it would be too inconsistent with Long Yufei's character.
"Of course it's not doing nothing! It's just that. We don't have to change the views of those white people. There was already a natural divide between the empire and the Western world. Because of the same white reasons, one word of the Germans is more effective than ten of us. Therefore, we don't need to bother with this effort. We just need to make sure that our people and our allies are not affected, and nothing else. Wait until the next world war, after the Reich defeats Germany, it will be solved in one qiē! Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Yuan nodded. He figured it out too.
"Prime Minister, get the media outlets of the empire in motion. The MIA had a lot of information about the Japanese rebellion, and the Imperial media also publicized it. Let the people of the Reich know what the Germans are doing behind their backs! Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Lin Zihao nodded. He knew that the empire was going to fight back, but the empire's battlefield was not in the western world, but in his own country and the empire's allies. In this case, the empire is undoubtedly more advantageous.
"But Your Majesty, so far, the Military Intelligence Agency has not yet had definite information to prove that the Germans were behind the Japanese rebellion!" Field Marshal Luo Hongtao, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, frowned.
"There is no need for definite information, but the presence in Germany of the leader of the Japanese Emperor's faction and the presence of the so-called new emperor of Japan in Germany is enough to illustrate the problem. Although there is no definite evidence, we can guess from this. As long as the people and allies of the empire are convinced of this, it will be. Even if the Germans deny it, what does that have to do with us? Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Luo Hongtao nodded, he completely understood, this is the same as what the Germans did, that is, to put a pot of on the other party's head. However, the Germans are the ones who want to unite the Western world through this. The Empire, on the other hand, wants to unite its own people and its allies. In any case, there will be a war between the Reich and Germany, and many Westerners will support Germany. No matter how hard the empire tried, it could not change the minds of other Westerners except for the hardcore allies of the empire. In that case, why would the empire have to work in vain? It is better to consolidate one's influence with the allies at home first, and as for the rest, as long as the empire wins the final victory in the war. As soon as qiē is solved, it is all solved. History is written by the victors, and those people will definitely stand on the side of the victors.
"Well, let's do it then!" Long Yufei saw that they all understood what they meant.
As a result, the major newspapers of the empire also published reports one after another, claiming that the reason for the outbreak of rebellion in Japan was entirely due to the Germans' planning. The Germans did not want to see the stability of East Asia, so they were bent on making trouble for the Reich. Japan is simply a pawn of the Germans. The reason why the Japanese paid so many casualties was entirely caused by the Germans.
Suddenly, wave after wave of demonstrations against the Germans broke out in the Reich, and the Germans had become rats crossing the streets, and everyone shouted and beat them. Even other foreigners were met with hostility and had to be the first to say that they were not Germans. Otherwise, they will not be able to move an inch in the Empire.
The allies of the empire were also quick to reprint the relevant confidence. As a result, there are two kinds of mainstream media discourse in the world. One is that the Germans smeared the Chinese Empire, constantly deducted on the head of the Chinese Empire, and called the Chinese Empire an executioner, the culprit of racial genocide, and so on.
And the Chinese Empire, not to be outdone, put conspirators and hypocrites on the heads of the Germans. Claiming that the Germans wantonly stirred up trouble and undermined world peace, etc.
The war of words between the two countries is becoming more and more intense. Of course, the Germans also solemnly protested against the slanderous acts of the Reich, but the Reich was equally unmoved. Anyway, the Germans are already shameless, so why should the Reich give them face?
The whole world was affected by this, and the contradictions between the Chinese Empire and Germany were affected. At the same time, the countries also knew that the contradictions between the Chinese Empire and Germany had become more and more acute. If it doesn't work out, war will break out between the two countries, which is not a good thing for the countries. After all, no one wants war to break out now, and in this case, I am afraid that all countries will be affected by the war.
In the same way, the Reich did not want to let the Germans go so lightly. Countering Germany with the Japanese question was only the first step. Next, the Reich had to fight back against the Germans from other fronts. Like, the problem of Austria-Hungary. Although now Germany has annexed Austria-Hungary and, after several years of digestion, has completely controlled Austria-Hungary. However, Austria-Hungary was inherently a multi-ethnic state. The Germanic people were not the only ones in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but in fact only a small part, a little more than 20 percent in total. There are also a large number of people who are minorities. When the Germans annexed Austria-Hungary, they did not kill those minorities.
It's just that no one cared about the life and death of those ethnic minorities at that time. Now, the Reich can throw all of this out and slap the Germans in the face.
After the Chinese Empire began to report on the unfair treatment of minorities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even suffered massacres by the Germans, the Germans could not sit still. They also immediately counterattacked, claiming that the Chinese Empire had been massacring the natives of the South Seas.
The accusations between the two countries have finally resulted in everyone's black history being dug up. As a result, the image of both countries has been greatly affected. Of course, the Chinese Empire didn't care much about this, and anyway, in the Western world, the reputation of the Chinese Empire had already been ruined. However, Germany has always presented itself as the savior of the Western world. Now the reputation of the Germans has also been tarnished, which makes the Germans very angry. However, they also have no way. Who called this war of words that they had provoked in the first place? In addition, the Reich had a killer move in preparation, which would cause even more trouble for the Germans. (To be continued)
