The people are irritable but also easy to deceive, especially before the Internet, news is very closed to the people and they can only passively accept it.

Not to mention the era when newspapers rule the media, the people can only believe in the black and white words on the newspaper!

But any newspaper is written by people, so people will definitely be controlled by rights and money!

After a period of anger, the British newspapers suddenly changed their conversations, and many reports began to favor Japanese people, and what they said was quite reasonable.

People have already started war, and you, the British captain, do not avoid suspicion? Why do you want money and live? You can't blame others if the enemy hits him during the war?

Anyway, no one will tell them when the real time for the declaration of war was, and the backward Qing Empire did not understand the power of the media at all, and they could not affect the pens of European newspapers and magazines at all.

A lie was told a thousand times and it became the truth. Gradually, the protests of the people weakened, and the members of Congress began their performances again.

For various purposes, these MPs began to advocate that Britain should support Japan, because Britain's strategy in the Far East at that time was to restrict Tsarist Russia's expansion.

For this grand strategy, Britain was very good for the Qing Dynasty during that period, especially in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty navy, Britain made a lot of efforts and did not hide its own private interests.

At that time, Britain's strategy was to hope that the Qing Dynasty would be stronger and block the expansion of Tsarist Russia. East Asia could not allow Tsarist Russians to expand any further.

But the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 changed everything, and Japanese diplomats began to lobby British politicians, constantly slandering the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, believing that they were not civilized society at all.

If you want to block the expansion of the Tsarist Russians, you have to rely on Japan. You and the UK should support us!

Money lobbying, propaganda and brainwashing, and in the end the conflict between Gaosheng number was really suppressed. The British government made it clear that the Japanese were not responsible for the Gaosheng number incident.

The shipping company where Gaosheng is located knew that it could not afford to offend the Japanese, but someone would have to compensate for their own losses, so they went to the Qing Dynasty to pay for it!

When the Qing Dynasty saw this, how could we make a decision? Why should we compensate the ship bombed by the Japanese? We bullied people!

But there is no way. People just bully you, they just ask you to mess with each other, they just make trouble. After nine years of negotiations, the Qing government could not stand it anymore and finally compensated 33,000 pounds.

The Gaosheng incident finally came to an end!

However, there is a small behind this incident. In 2001, a South Korean shipwreck salvage company began to salvage the Gaosheng number, and found 600 tons of silver ingots on it, worth US$88 million.

And who did these silver ingots belong to? Is it the military expenditure of Beiyang at that time or its own cargo on British ships? No one knows it, and it has become a historical mystery.

Xiao Letian still remembers this history clearly, and of course he will follow suit. He is sure to bully the Spanish!

When he and Besmai left the station and returned to Versailles Palace, Xiao Lotte immediately issued a series of orders, and were ready to suppress the public opinion in Spain.

The day I received the telegram was January 7th. Four days have passed since the Battle of Manila. I believe that the Spaniards are about to receive the battle report. This is a race against time!

At the critical moment, the benefits of spending money were seen. Xiao Letian has been continuously investing in the European newspaper industry and continuously expanding his shares over the years.

The Chinese capital has controlled a large number of European mouthpieces, and there will be brave men under the heavy rewards. What's more, Xiao Letian is also the boss behind their salary. Of course, these pens will be biased.

Needless to say, newspapers in Germany are, of course, at the ally level, they will tend toward Xiao Letian, and the British mouthpiece is the most critical!

From ancient times to the present, public opinion of a strong country has always dominated everything. This is related to national strength. In the 21st century, the sun never sets in the 19th century, these are all leaders-level countries that overwhelm the great powers.

The public opinion in these countries is more dominant. It can be said that if you control London newspapers, you will even pinch the mouthpiece of the world!

Don’t worry about money at this time. Xiao Letian’s capital allies began to act. Chinese diplomats and business partners like the Duke of Newcastle began to run up and down for the head of state.

On the evening of the 7th, the Chinese CIA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs paid out the highest secret. No one knew the highest secret, but the unofficial history records that even the director of the CIA, Wang Huaiyuan, who had seen the world, burst into tears in pain, and even the back of the mouth was anxious and swelling, as high as a steamed bun.

Late at night, Prime Minister Gladstone held an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the latest war reports in East Asia, but the four-hour meeting did not come up with any practical decisions!

This cabinet of Gladstone was originally a term that focused on internal affairs but weakened diplomacy. Judging from the historical evaluation of Gladstone, this prime minister is indeed a good at doing internal affairs.

Promoting compulsory education for all, alleviating hatred relations with Ireland, vigorously investing in infrastructure, and increasing internal employment rates... These are his historical achievements.

However, this man and a group of his subordinates are not very sensitive to diplomacy, and there are not many deep colonialists. More importantly, many people here indirectly received political donations from the Chinese!

Don’t think that these people are corrupt officials, and they can reach such a high level. They are all as smart as ghosts. How can people catch the handle?

The fruitful ways of giving money and women in the Qing Dynasty were absolutely invisible!

The bribery methods that are popular in Europe are hidden within the capital world, including stock markets, futures markets, company's original shares, and some special commercial approval documents from Chinese ports... I really want to give you benefits, but some are hidden ways.

Don’t forget that the banking industry in Switzerland has risen in this era, and this is an excellent place for the secret circulation of funds!

The slutty mouth is so short! Of course, these British officials will not support Xiao Letian clearly. After all, they are not from the same nation, and Europeans must also maintain their noble face.

But if you keep your neutrality with the mud for the time being, these people can still do it. It is no problem to buy Xiao Letian some time!

What you need is this neutral attitude, and what you need is the buffering opportunity!

By the early morning of January 8, newspapers in London were already filled with news from the Philippines!

The gentlemen sitting in the cafe were stunned as they looked at the bold text on the Times!

"The main fleet of Spain in the Philippines came out in full swing and attacked Brunei at night? Did the Spanish fight undeclared to the Chinese?"

"God! Today is not April Fool's Day? Is the Philippine Governor a stupid pig? At this critical moment, we are going to provoke the Chinese people?"

"Fake news, it must be fake news! See if there is a statement from our government!"
