After determining that the British fleet had retreated to Canton, the headquarters began to work out plans for the next steps. It is undoubtedly impossible to attack Canton now, not to mention that after a few days of fighting, the troops are very tired, and because the casualties are short of one-fifth, and the ammunition is also consumed, if there are two more major battles of this scale, the warehouses will be exhausted. Nor could the armored forces and heavy artillery reach Guangzhou by land, and without these pioneers, the infantry alone would have suffered heavy casualties. Even if Guangzhou was captured regardless of casualties, the Guangfu Army would not have the manpower and material resources to digest such a large occupied area, so the Guangfu Army would never do it if it lost money.

The British probably didn't want to fight, and neither did the survivors, so the only way left was peace talks. With 5,000 prisoners in their hands, the Liberation Army could take a greater initiative in the negotiations, but only if they first established a channel of communication with the British and conveyed their willingness to negotiate. To this end, the Foreign Affairs Committee came up with a propaganda method, or psychological tactic, that was common in the original plane.

The Foreign Affairs Committee was established for the purpose of negotiations with the British that were about to begin, and as the guiding body for diplomatic work, the chairman of the committee was Wu Yizhi, who had always been dissatisfied with his position. As a former hotel golden key, he is best at dealing with people, to put it bluntly, foreign relations are also a job of dealing with people from other countries, let him preside over diplomatic work is also a person to make the best use of his talents, he is also the minister of foreign affairs, the new vice minister Zhang Haotian, the propaganda minister Xie Sen and the vice minister Du Lali, and Chen Jianhua, who is named in several committees, is a member of the committee. Because Zhang Haotian had always been responsible for dealing with the British, he was directly promoted from the "Commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government of the Republic of China" to the vice minister after the establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was also the natural candidate for the head of the future negotiation team; And Xie Sen and Dulari joined mainly to use their expertise in public opinion propaganda. At present, except for the British, the Liberation Army is not well known, and only by intensifying propaganda efforts to let more countries understand the political propositions of the Liberation Army, and to be recognized by other countries, especially the Western powers, at least to obtain the identity of a political entity, can it be possible to carry out equal exchanges with it; As for the fat man Chen Jianhua, because he had studied the history of the 19th century, he had some understanding of the domestic and international situation, political, military, and economic aspects of this period, and was able to provide everyone with all kinds of professional information and opinions, so he was able to serve as an adviser on various committees.

After the management committee handed over the preparatory work for the negotiations, the Foreign Affairs Committee was put into full operation, and the first thing to be solved was how to convey its willingness to negotiate to the British. Originally, some people in the Military Commission opposed taking the initiative to negotiate, after all, the Liberation Army was the victorious side, and the initiative to propose negotiations had the flavor of seeking peace, which made a group of hawks dislike. However, some committee members also pointed out that if a peace agreement with the British could not be reached at an early date, the industrial, agricultural, and economic construction in the controlled areas would not be able to begin, and this would be very detrimental to the development of the Liberation Army itself. Moreover, being in a state of war for a long time will inevitably cause panic among the people in the control area, and the troops will not be able to rest, which will make the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted. Tan Fei, vice chairman of the power plant, who has been busy demolishing the power plant, also said that the two generating units of the first phase of the project have been dismantled in the original time and space, and the site selection of the new time and space power plant has also been completed. Now all production areas and living areas can only rely on diesel generators for power supply, and the diesel reserves are decreasing day by day, which makes Chairman Huang Fanding, who is in charge of material management, a headache. Therefore, speed and harmony have become the mainstream.

Taking the initiative to negotiate with the British has become a consensus, so the next thing is how to pass on the will, and in the end, the method proposed by Xie Sen becomes the first choice. As a matter of fact, Minister Xie's method was not uncommon in the 20 th century, that is, to use airplanes to drop propaganda leaflets on enemy-occupied areas, which was a simple and effective propaganda warfare and psychological tactic, and it also showed its might in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

The content of the leaflet was drafted by Fat Chen, with the title "Letter to the Compatriots of Guangdong Province". Originally, he wanted to use the title of "The Book of Heroes of the Eighteen Provinces", but it was unanimously opposed by others, Xie Sen and Du Lali thought that this topic was too big, and it was not appropriate to use it now, so it was better to leave it for the Northern Expedition in the future; And the reason for Wu Yizhi's opposition was simply that he didn't want to pick up the teeth of the Japanese, and the fat man Chen had to give up.

Write a four? Li Liu's prose style Chen Jianhua is not good at it, but fortunately, there are many templates that can be used for reference (plagiarism), and the title of "The Book of Haojie of the Eighteen Provinces" cannot be used, but the content can be used. Eliminated and modified some inappropriate content, and a battle "text" was released.

"The sages said: 'Virtuous people are ordained, and meritorious deeds are rewarded.'" He also said: 'Only fate is not normal, the good will get it, and the bad will be lost by the sages.' 'The barbarians outside the original Sai of the Manchu Qing clan were neither the virtue of being ordained, nor the merit of China, taking advantage of the declining fortune of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, violently robbing and pretending for a while, changing the opportunity and manipulating the world skillfully. At that time, Haojie was invincible by force, and he swallowed hatred and hatred to this day, covering the so-called people who are victorious over the sky. Now is also the time when heaven will conquer people. Familiar with the recent situation of the Manchu Qing clan, the people are weak, the officials are in their duties, the militarism is blasphemy, the governance is declining, the discipline is sluggish, and they are not fair and follow private opinions, and do not rely on faith and righteousness to deceive, which is ......evil from all over the world It is the heavens that are tired of its virtues, the people are tired of its rule, the generals are centrifuged, and they refuse to give their hearts, so the division of defending the land was defeated by Humen, annihilated in Zhoushan, defeated in Dagu, and surrendered to Tianjin. Every defeat makes fun of all nations. It is the fate of the Qing clan that has ended, and the cause of the world and abandonment. My Guangfu army should obey the heavens, and the soldiers will drive for a long time. In order to ask the guilty to the Beijing court, I will force the Qing Lord to surrender in front of me, accept my request, recover the Han family and then rest. Although, the punishment of our army was in the Manchu court, not in our own country; I wish to love Xinjue Luo, but I can't shrug off the soldiers...... I earnestly hope that the compatriots will forgive the sincerity of our army, never suspect the thoughts, observe the backs of heaven and man, and follow the general trend of the world, sing the righteousness of the Central Plains, entangle the strong men, and rejuvenate the revolutionary army, so as to make the Manchu Qing clan outside the country, raise the true heroes in the recklessness and support the great cause, and then reform the barnyard government, eliminate the harm of the people, go to the false text and follow the will of Confucius and Mencius politics and religion, and verify and restore the rule of the three generations of emperors. Our army has been looking forward to it for a long time. Fortunately, Qing and others sang that our army should beg for righteousness in the palace. Therefore, the ship carried food and weapons, and made an appointment to go to the ribs. There is no time to lose, and the opportunity will not come back. The ancients did not say anything: if the sky does not take it, it will be blamed. Wait for the hurry up, don't be laughed at by the ancestors! ”

Chen Jianhua borrowed the banner of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" that the Japanese fought at that time, and it was just right for Chen Jianhua to borrow it, and the text first denied the rationality and legitimacy of the Manchu Dynasty's inheritance of Guozuo, and then exposed the Manchu Dynasty's shady curtains and rotten sores, and then counted the Manchu Qing's foreign wars after defeat, and finally called on the vast number of compatriots to recognize the true face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and eat pot pulp to welcome the king's master. The whole article was brilliant, Chen Jianhua was very satisfied, and took it to Fang Congze to take a look. After Deputy Director Fang read it, he praised it greatly, saying that this article "is full of praise and vibrating, sitting and galloping, wandering unbridledly, and full of energy, it is really ancient and modern", Chen Jianhua smiled without blushing and heartbeat at these praises, anyway, Kotaro Zongfang was born in six years. However, most of the survivors were confused, Ma Angelica pointed to this article that knew all the words and only half understood the sentences and asked: "I can't understand the book after reading it for more than ten years, but the people of Guangzhou can understand it?" ”

"It doesn't matter if the people can't understand it, there will naturally be people who can understand it to spread it on behalf of the people. "Wenxin Carving Dragon" says, "The general body of the mortal is either described as a retreat, or as a description of his cruelty." It means that the main content of the text is either to express one's own greatness or to expose the enemy's black materials. Since ancient times, the text has been written in the style of Fu, that is, the format of the four and six, so that it looks imposing, and the reader eats this set. Only those who study in enemy-occupied areas (referring to all Chinese territories not occupied by the Liberation Army) are the ones who have the right to speak, and I can earn some image points by taking out this article, which shows that our Liberation Army is also literate people, at least better than those who believe in foreign religions. Ma Angelica is a simple question, which attracted Chen Jianhua

There are a lot of scriptures and classics, and it's really hard to find fault with him.

"It's not a problem, we defeated the British, and now it's good to spread our political ideas to the people of the whole province of Guangdong." It was the first time that the Liberation Army officially expressed its political opinions, and Wei Bozhi also talked about his own views, "It's just that you are now reporting the content of the "Warning to the Eighteen Provinces Haojie", where will you copy it when we go on the Northern Expedition in the future?" ”

"This kind of text is not easy to find, the ready-made ones are "The Military Government of the Republic of China Seeks the Manchurian Text", and there are also "Seeking Yuan Yuan's Text" and "Seeking the Reverse Text", which can be changed and changed, and you can't use it!" Chen Jianhua has been prepared for this for a long time.

In addition to the "Letter to the Compatriots of Guangdong Province", there is also an official letter to the British, because the Liberation Army has not yet established a formal government, so it cannot be called a present-a-note-to. In this letter, in the name of the Military Council of the Liberation Army, the British were informed that the Liberation Army was willing to negotiate an end to the hostilities between the two sides, and hoped that the British Minister in China would respond to the Restoration Army (because Hong Kong had been recovered, the title of Governor of Hong Kong would not be recognized). At the same time, the Guangfu Army's promise not to take military action against Guangzhou for the time being can be regarded as an expression of sincerity in the negotiations. The content of the official letter is drafted by the members of the management committee through collective discussion, and the tone is as polite and courteous as possible, and after it is written, it is translated into English by Zhang Haotian, who has a relatively high level of English, and then printed out by the computer, and signed by Huang Fanding, chairman of the management committee. Because there is no model to learn from, and everyone doesn't know whether the format of the official letter is correct or not, they just hope that it will not make an international joke.

The "Letter to the Compatriots of Guangdong Province" has a total of more than 1,000 characters, and the Central Military Commission has printed a box of 70 grams of A4 paper, that is, 4,000 sheets, and the weight of the ink is almost 20 kilograms, but it does not exceed the carrying capacity of the "bumblebee." After printing, Zhang Haotian pulled it to the beach in a car and handed it over to the Air Force.

Wang Li took these special "bombs" and said with a smile: "The first time we went to Guangzhou, you let us throw this!" It's better to throw two bombs, and you can also let the people in the city see the power of the air force. ”

"The first time the Chinese Air Force went to Japan, it also threw leaflets, just one plane, and it couldn't carry many bombs, which was not as wide as the area covered by leaflets. Besides, there is a time when a spiritual weapon is a hundred times better than a bomb! Zhang Haotian patted the leaflet, "Your going to Guangzhou tomorrow is the first time that our Liberation Army has appeared in the provincial capital, and we must make a name for our Liberation Army!" Well, good luck guys! ”
