Chapter 502: Wang Bang!
Although Luo Can had recently repeatedly urged the traversers who were organizing and implementing the evacuation plan at the Tianjin wharf to speed up the progress of the mission, the pretending coquent, Tian Buzi, took the trouble to take a speedboat from BB63 to the dock to brush up on his prestige among the white noblewomen.
The Military Intelligence Department plans to take advantage of this BB63 to go north close to the port of Tianjin, and combine some diplomatic tactics and media propaganda to play a set of combination punches, to attract John Niu's attention to the extreme.
Under a field tent at the docks, Mr. Tenbuz and about a dozen foreign journalists were holding a meeting between a press conference and an exclusive interview.
Tian Buzi first said a lot of things, and the meaning can be roughly summarized as: We are a peace-loving nation, and we have always adhered to the principle of friendship and coexistence with other countries in the principle that no one will offend us and I will not offend others. The battleship of the Imperial Navy of the Great Song Dynasty "visited" the port of Tianjin this time because the diplomatic personnel of the Great Song Dynasty had to urgently evacuate the employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tianjin due to the attack.
"There is information that a merchant ship of your country sank in the South Pacific after being ambushed by Spanish and British warships in the Grette Strait; According to another source, the Government of the United States has proposed to your country a package of joint retaliation against Spain, what is Mr. Tian's view on this? James Creelman, a reporter for the New York newspaper Le Monde, is an "old friend" who has traveled through the crowd, and he has saved a lot of bells and whistles for pretending to be a coercive.
"I can share with you what I have seen from the Admiralty bulletin that we did have a merchant ship ambushed in the Gray Passage, and when a frigate from the 38th Task Force of the Great Song Royal Navy arrived at the scene of the incident, it found that the attackers were salvaging cargo belonging to the merchant ship. Our valiant naval officers and sailors repelled the despicable pirates and rescued those who had fallen overboard, and further verification of the pirates' identities is currently underway by Task Force 38. As for the plan that you just mentioned about the plan proposed by the American government, I have not heard of it. Temboz replied.
That's how the so-called diplomatic rhetoric works, even if I've admitted that I hammered John Bull's little wrecked ships, but I still have to make a name for myself as a fighter against pirates.
In 1988, the "ship collision incident" that occurred in the area south of the Crimean Peninsula in the southern part of the Black Sea near the territorial waters of the Soviet Union, before ramming the destroyer of the Eagle Sauce Navy, the Maozi Navy had already issued a radio message: "The Soviet ships are ordered to stop the violation of the territorial waters, and as an extraordinary measure, one of our ships will strike your ship." Warning.
However, the Soviets later claimed that the collision between the two ships was caused by the failure of the frigates "Selfless" and "Forget Me", and after this incident, the dispute between the United States and the Soviet Union over "territorial sea jurisdiction" and "innocent passage" finally came to an end.
Therefore, the story of "our ship was ordered to ram your ship" made up by later generations sounds very bloody, but Mao Zi was very calm and professional when dealing with that dispute at that time, and the sentence "mechanical failure" was gently brought over so that both parties could get off the stage, leaving room for further negotiation in the future.
"What are your plans for the future management of the Weihaiwei Military Fortress?" A reporter who asked this question was a footpot chicken.
After John Niu changed his previous policy towards the Song Dynasty and wanted to restrain the Crossing Masses from further expanding their influence in the Far East, the current jurisdiction of Weihaiwei involves the four parties of the Manchu Lord, the Foot Basin Chicken, John Bull and the Crossing Public.
At the moment, this is an embarrassing situation for whoever has a small fist, and Lord Man has completely become a dead fish on the board after the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet, and John Bull is counting on their Far East Fleet to come north to earn back face, as for the crossing of the public, needless to say, BB63 Du Nima blocked to the port of Tianjin.
This will actually occupy Weihaiwei's footbasin chicken, and the situation will be really embarrassing. The father of the gold lord shouted and shouted for them to hand over Weihaiwei, but the position of the Great Song people on the issue of Chinese territory has always been as hard as steel, and the footbasin chicken really did not dare to hand over Weihaiwei to John Niu.
The worst thing is that the Great Song people only stated that Weihaiwei was a Chinese territory and that other countries were not allowed to interfere, but they did not clearly indicate how they planned to deal with this military fortress next. In the end, let me return it to the Manchu government or do you want to take it yourself, you should give me a word?
"Our position on the Weihaiwei issue has never changed, and Huaxia is the Huaxia of the Chinese people! We can put aside the unequal treaties on territory signed by the Manchus for the time being, but we will never allow foreign forces to interfere in the territorial issue of China again! Tian Buzi's answer made the footbasin chicken reporter scold his mother in his heart, doesn't this make us continue to be embarrassed?
"You just mentioned that you do not recognize the agreement signed by the Manchus on territorial issues, can I interpret it as the fact that the Great Song Dynasty will hold consultations with other countries on a series of issues such as concessions and boundary surveys in the near future?" A reporter from The Times asked, apparently after Mao Zi and the Crossing Crowd had stopped for so long, the British had also noticed something intriguing.
"Yes, this also includes the Treaty of Nanking, which the Manchus signed with your government half a century ago." The hand of pretending to be a coercion can be regarded as four 2s, Weihaiwei, don't think about it, I am still thinking about letting you return the nine dragons!
"There is information that the Russians are willing to contact you on the issue of demarcation of the border, and I don't know if this news is true." This is a question raised by a reporter from Maozi, and it seems that this farmer teammate is a little anxious to play the cards in his hand.
"At present, the two sides are still at war, but anything is possible, and we welcome the efforts of all parties for peace." Tian Buzi replied that non-denial in diplomatic settings is not too far from recognition.
"What do you think about the recent movement of sympathy and solidarity with the Republic of Boer in many countries in Europe?" Krillman asked.
"Like those European countries that were sympathetic to the Boers, the Great Song was willing to provide help to those who resisted the invasion in any way they could." Tian Buzi replied.
This Nima is really the king! This is undoubtedly a sign to John Bull: As long as you will check and balance this and that all over the world, Lao Tzu will also go to your backyard to fan the wind and light the fire, and he may go to India to do things next time!
The movement of sympathy and solidarity with the Boer Republic initiated by the European countries mentioned by Krillman took place in 1899 in the history of time and space. The Boers, who were at a disadvantage in the Second Boer War at that time, were supported by the Dutch and Belgians, who were of the same language as them.
People in both countries formed numerous civil society groups to support the Boers fighting the British army by soliciting donations, publishing articles, and establishing foundations. Later, thousands of volunteers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, the United States, Russia, Ireland, Italy, and Scandinavia crossed the ocean to the Transvaal, ready to fight alongside the Boers.
In this time and space disturbed by the butterfly effect caused by the arrival of the Travelers, the Boers set their sights on the Travelers who had the strength to fight with John Bull when the conflict with the British intensified.
After seeing that the Jews had gained the support of the Great Song people and significantly accelerated their immigration to Palestine, the cunning Boers immediately cried and pretended to be pitiful in Europe, and many German-speaking countries also expressed sympathy and solidarity with the Boers.
Previously, due to the diplomatic honeymoon period between the Crossing Congregation and John Bull, the Provisional Executive Committee chose to turn a blind eye to the Boers' flattering eyes. However, in order to regain control of the Black Sea, Mao Zi ruthlessly threw out the fragrant bait of Lake Belga.
The Boers are under the matchmaking of polar bears, and this will finally be a cross-public hook-up. Whether it was for the obsession of being a Chinese before the crossing, or to get a buffer zone large enough for polar bears, even if the traversers knew that they would pay the price for eating the bait of Maozi, they could only declare their support for the Boers.
However, according to those who are keen on intrigue, including Huang Xiaolei, the Second Boer War was one of the few good opportunities to weaken John Bull before World War I. You must know that in order to win the victory in this three-year war in the history of the original time and space, John Niu invested more than 400,000 troops, and finally signed a peace treaty with the Boers after paying the price of more than 22,000 casualties.
If you think about the 400,000 troops that could send John Bull halfway around the world to South Africa, and how long it would have to be for three years to send supplies there, it would be worth it!
