Yada and Miki were a little stunned when they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy put a stack of things in front of them, but when they noticed what it was, the color on their faces was not good.

It turned out that there were six or seven newspapers, both Chinese and foreign. Yada picked it up and flipped through it casually, and the conspicuous position of each newspaper published the news of the Japanese ronin smashing and robbing the grain store, and several newspapers were even more illustrated, and the huge photos showed the Japanese ronin holding a katana, slashing at the grain store guys with teeth and claws. There is also a close-up of a hideous-looking Japanese man holding up a bright broadsword and slashing at a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

All newspapers vividly described this kind of atrocity, and the Chinese newspapers focused on describing the unscrupulous and inhumane nature of the Japanese, and they all recalled the 21 Articles not long ago, saying that this was the beginning of Japan's intention to implement the 21 Articles and annex the entire Northeast, and all compatriots should take action to boycott Japanese goods and safeguard sovereignty.

Foreign newspapers, on the other hand, say that Japan is a beast mixed with civilization, and that they are using barbarism and violence, destroying the basic business rules of Fengtian, and infringing on the interests of European and American businessmen by despicable means.

After seeing these newspapers, Yada and Miki's faces immediately turned blue, and Zhang Tinglan was extremely satisfied with this effect in his heart.

When receiving the grain from all over the world, Zhang Tinglan expected that the Japanese would counterattack reactionarily, and if they wanted to deal with the unscrupulous Japanese, any peace of mind would only get them an inch, so they had to directly thwart Japan's attempt, and Zhang Tinglan naturally thought of using public opinion as a magic weapon.

He first contacted Fred, hoping to ask him to help find a few foreign journalists, Fred and Zhang Tinglan had long been an alliance of interests, so he naturally took active action. And this timing is really good, the heat of Japan's 21 article has not yet gone down, all the great powers have seen Japan's ambitions against China, they are quite dissatisfied with Japan, and these newspapers, as the mouthpieces of the great powers, are naturally happy to see the Japanese unlucky.

So I quickly contacted several newspapers, and everything was being prepared in secret. When Ono rushed over with the Japanese ronin to make trouble, Zhang Tinglan contacted these newspapers. They sent special personnel to take pictures, and then quickly withdrew and compiled into a manuscript.

Of course, in the fight, it was Zhang Tinglan's side that had the upper hand, but this also made it difficult for those old fritters in the press, who chose some angles that seemed to be dominated by the Japanese for shooting, and at the same time did some work on the tailoring, and soon created a scene where the Japanese ronin was bullying and the grain store guys were forced to resist.

As for the photo of the Japanese using a knife on a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, it was actually taken when Zhang Tingshu poked Ono with a bamboo pole. After these photos came out, Zhang Tinglan was also very surprised, no wonder people regard reporters as uncrowned kings, anything can be a 180-degree turn in their hands, and in this regard, the current reporters are not worse than their counterparts in later generations.

"Deliberate, despicable." After Miki read these newspapers, he was extremely angry, he pointed at Zhang Tinglan with his finger, and said loudly: "You dare to manipulate public opinion and maliciously slander the Japanese Empire, you will be retaliated!" ”

Zhang Tinglan squinted his eyes at Miki, who had lost his mind, and said, "Mr. Miki, you think too highly of our ability, can we buy so many Westerners' newspapers?" I even suspect that you Japanese have offended people yourself, and that we have detained the troublemakers and that there is still room for maneuver in this matter, and if you release them now, it will be even more solid for your bullying behavior, which will have a very negative impact on Japan's image. ”

"You are arguing with strong words, the great powers have very good communication with each other, how can we have contradictions, you are instigating behind your back."

"Mr. Miki is really funny, you fought with the Russians ten years ago, and just last year you fought with the Germans in Shandong, isn't this a contradiction?"

Zhang Tinglan unceremoniously exposed Miki's lies, and he was also speechless for a while, although Miki was gloomy and cunning, but he was still a businessman after all, and he was a little scared when he saw that his actions had brought such a big turmoil, and might even affect the image of Japan.

The consul general on the side, Yada, was very indifferent, and he smiled coldly: "Do you think that a few newspapers can scare the Japanese Empire, you guys are wishful thinking." Master Zhang, I think you know very well that Great Japan treats its friends very well, but it has never shown mercy to its enemies! ”

In the face of Yada's threat, Zhang Zuolin was completely indifferent, "Mr. Yada, Zhang has always been willing to get along with Japan amicably, the key to whether you can become friends is in you, as long as you respect each other, you are good friends, on the contrary, Zhang is not a face!" ”

Yada thought that with his identity as consul general, as long as he came forward, he would be able to scare Zhang Zuolin, but he knew that he touched his nose, and he flicked his sleeves and left Zhang Zuolin's house.

Lao Zhang watched them leave the mansion and touched his big bald head: "Tinglan, your seventh master has offended the Japanese, if your calculations are not useful, we will be in a difficult situation!" ”

Zhang Tinglan actually raised his heart, Japan is deeply rooted in Shili in Mukden, and his minions are abundant, and he is not sure whether he can suppress the limelight of the Japanese. However, at this juncture, he can only cheer himself up: "Seventh master, we have a lot of luck and no intention, and the chances of winning are much greater!" ”

Lao Zhang thought about it again and asked, "Tinglan, do you think we need to take some action at this time?" ”

Zhang Tinglan hurriedly shook his head on the side, "We are weaker than Japan, just like a donkey in Qian, the more we move, the more flaws are exposed, and it is the best way to stand still!" ”

"Aren't you afraid to sit still?"

"Hehe, we're waiting for the opponent to die!"

Lao Zhang nodded, and then said very arrogantly: "Tinglan, since we have done it, we are not afraid of failure!" It's a big deal that I'm going to be the king of the mountain again, I have tens of thousands of guns, and I can mix anywhere! Lao Zhang said this not only to comfort Zhang Tinglan, but also to comfort himself, Zhang Zuolin has experienced countless tests in his life, and he has broken through, just to see if he can pass the current level.

As soon as Yada and Miki got into the rickshaw and arrived at the intersection, they were confronted by a group of students who walked from a distance holding banners with slogans saying "Expelling ronin, protecting businessmen", and the leading student representatives were shouting slogans to boycott Japanese goods.

When Yada and Miki saw this scene, the color of their faces became bad, and they took the initiative to avoid the procession and hurried back to the Japanese Consulate General.

Moreover, some businessmen also joined in, and the momentum was very strong, and there was a scene where the 21st was exposed, and the students pointed the finger at Japan. What's even worse is that many newspapers have joined the ranks of denouncing the Japanese ronin, listing the general behavior of the Japanese over the years, unceremoniously accusing the Japanese wolf ambition and exposing their hypocritical masks.

"Mr. Consul General, these things are all Zhang Zuolin's conspiracy, and Great Japan cannot compromise with a small warlord, I think decisive measures should be taken."

"Hmph, Mr. Miki, you are very shrewd in business, but you are a layman in this kind of thing, Zhang Zuolin is a Qiu Ba bandit, can he buy the newspapers of the great powers? Can he manipulate Mukden's academic world? You think too highly of this little warlord, we have a stronger opponent. ”

Just as the two of them were discussing, an attendant ran over in a panic: "Mr. Consul General, a telegram has been sent from Beijing!" ”
