Chapter 1348: The Empire's Counterattack
Because of the surprise of Chinese and Western cultures, the empire had no reputation in the Western world. Now the Germans deliberately slander it. In addition to the Imperial's hard-core allies, the image of the empire has become as dark as the bottom of the pot in Europe. ≥ Even some of the empire's allies have appeared in the country. However, the mainstream voices still support the empire.
After all, whether it is the Kingdom of Spain or the Kingdom of Belgium, if there is no empire, they would not be as powerful as they are now. Once Germany becomes the real hegemon of Europe, it is not a good thing for them. Therefore, the mainstream media of both countries sing praises for the empire, believing that other countries are deliberately smearing China.
In response to some unfriendly remarks by Germany and other European countries against the empire recently, the empire quickly counterattacked. The imperial foreign minister Wei Yuan ordered the embassies of the empires in various European countries to immediately protest to the countries. He demanded that all countries quickly quell such remarks that wantonly smear China.
The empire's ambassador to Germany, Liu Xihong, immediately met with the German Foreign Minister Albrech von Ron, and solemnly raised this question to him. Ambassador Liu Xihong pointed out that if Germany did this again, it would inevitably make the contradiction between the empire and Germany more acute, and the already difficult diplomatic relations between the two countries broke down.
Although Count Albrech von Ron also realized this. However, he knew better what Germany's national policy was. Germany could no longer stop now, and they could only go all the way to the dark. Therefore, in the face of Ambassador Liu Xihong's request, Count Albrech von Ron politely refused. He pointed out that Germany is a democratic country, and the Germans have freedom of the press. The German government has no power to interfere in the reports of German newspapers. Such diplomatic rhetoric certainly made Ambassador Liu Xihong dissatisfied. However, he also knew that the Germans were determined to disgust the Chinese Empire, so he could only say goodbye. It can be said that it was precisely because of this incident that the diplomatic relations between the empire and Germany became worse and worse.
"Your Majesty, now the whole of Europe is smearing the empire. Under the propaganda of those newspapers, the empire has become an evil country. They said that we have killed all the people in Japan, and they also claimed that after the empire ruled the world, it would implement a genocide policy, which made the citizens of other countries hostile to the empire. Even the citizens of the empire's allies were affected. If this continues, the empire's reputation will be completely ruined!" Wei Yuan, the imperial foreign minister, said with a dark face. In his opinion, the Germans' behavior was too shameless, and even these despicable means were used. In Germany now, there is no difference between the responsibility of a world power and the gangsters.
"If the Germans slander, just smear! Anyway, the empire cannot stop it, unless we go to war with the Germans now. However, if the war is now, the empire is not ready. So, we can only watch the Germans make trouble now!" Long Yufei said.
"Your Majesty, then can't we do nothing?" Wei Yuan frowned. When will the Emperor of the Empire be so easy to talk to! Long Yufei's personality has always been a person who doesn't offend me. If people offend me, I will kill people! The Germans are now holding shit on the head of the Chinese Empire. How could the Empire not fight back? In that case, it would be too inconsistent with Long Yufei's personality.
"Of course it's not that we're doing nothing! It's just that there's no need to change the views of those white people. The empire and the Western world have a natural gap. Because of the same white people, the Germans say something more effective than if we say ten words. Therefore, there's no need to put in this effort. We just need to make sure that our people and our allies are not affected. As for the others, we don't have to worry about it. When the next world war, after the empire defeats Germany, everything will be solved!" Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wei Yuan nodded, and he also understood this.
"Prime Minister, let the media organizations of the empire start to move. The Military Intelligence Bureau has a lot of information about Japan's rebellion. Let the empire media also promote it, so that the empire's people will know what the Germans have done behind their backs!" Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cabinet 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 the country and its ally. In this way, the empire would undoubtedly have more advantages.
"But your Majesty, so far, the Military Intelligence Bureau has no definite information to prove that the Germans intervened behind the Japanese rebellion!" Army Marshal Luo Hongtao, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, frowned.
"There is no need for definite information. The leader of the Japanese sect who respected the king and expelled the barbarians appeared in Germany, and the so-called new Japanese emperor in Germany is enough to illustrate the problem. Although there is no definite evidence, we can use this to guess. As long as the people and allies of the empire believe in it, it will be true. Even if the Germans deny it, what does it have to do with us?" Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Luo Hongtao nodded. He understood completely that this was the same as what the Germans did, which was to put shit on the other party's head. However, the Germans hoped to use this to unite the people of the Western world. The Empire hoped to use this to unite the people of the country and the allies of the Empire. Anyway, there will be a war between the Empire and Germany, and many Westerners support Germany. No matter how hard the Empire tried, it would not be able to change the concept of other Westerners except for the Imperial iron allies. In this case, why would the Empire waste its efforts? It would be better to consolidate its influence with its domestic allies first. As for the others, as long as the Empire wins the final victory of the war, everything will be solved. History is written by the winners, and those people will definitely stand on the side of the winners.
"Well, then go and do it like this!" Long Yufei saw that they all understood what he meant.
So, next, major newspapers of the empire also published reports, claiming that the reason why Japan broke out in rebellion was entirely because of the Germans' planning. The Germans did not want to see the stability of East Asia, so they were determined to cause trouble for the empire. Japan was simply a pawn of the Germans. The reason why the Japanese paid so much death and injury was entirely caused by the Germans.
Suddenly, waves of march against the Germans broke out in the empire, and the Germans had turned into rats crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat them. Even other foreigners were hostile and had to first express their opinions that they were not Germans. Otherwise, they would have been unable to move forward in the empire.
The allies of the empire also quickly reprinted relevant confidence. As a result, there were two kinds of arguments in the world's mainstream media. One was that the Germans smeared the Chinese Empire and kept slapping the Chinese Empire, saying that the Chinese Empire was an executioner, the culprit of genocide, etc.
The Chinese Empire was not willing to be outdone, and placed conspirators and hypocritical guys on the heads of the Germans, claiming that the Germans had arbitrarily provoked trouble, destroyed world peace, etc.
The battle between the two countries was getting more and more intense. Of course, the Germans also solemnly protested against the empire's slander, but the empire was also unmoved. Anyway, the Germans were already shameless, so why did the empire give them face?
The whole world has been affected by this and the conflict between the Chinese Empire and Germany. At the same time, countries also know that the conflict between the Chinese Empire and Germany has become increasingly acute. If they are not done well, war will break out between the two countries, which is not a good thing for all countries. After all, no one wants the war to break out now, and in this case, all countries will probably be affected by the war.
Similarly, the Empire did not want to let the Germans go easily. Using the Japanese issue to counterattack Germany was just the first step. Next, the Empire had to counterattack the Germans from other aspects. For example, the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although Germany has now annexed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and after several years of digestion, it has completely controlled the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was originally a multi-ethnic country. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was not only the Germans, but the Germans actually accounted for only a small part, with a total of only a little over twenty percent. There were also a large number of people who were ethnic minorities. When the Germans annexed the Austro-Hungarian Empire, they killed many ethnic minorities.
However, no one cared about the life and death of those ethnic minorities at that time. Now, the empire could throw all these out and slapped the Germans in the face.
The Chinese Empire began to report that the ethnic minorities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire were treated unfairly, and even after being massacred by the Germans, the Germans could not sit still. They immediately fought back, claiming that the Chinese Empire had been massacring the indigenous people in the South China Sea.
The result of the two countries' accusations against each other was that their dark history was constantly being dug out, which greatly affected the images of both countries. Of course, the Chinese Empire didn't care much about this, but the reputation of the Chinese Empire in the Western world had been corrupted. However, Germany is different. They had always regarded themselves as the saviors of the Western world. Now the reputation of the Germans has been slandered, which made the Germans very angry. However, they had no choice. Who said this war of verbalism was originally initiated by them? In addition, the empire has a killer move, which will cause greater trouble for the Germans.
