On the sixth day after the war in The Times was ignited, when people all over Europe were carefully studying where and what the Far East was, Alexander II actually published an opinion piece in his own hand and published it in more than 30 publications across Europe at the same time. It began to be published uniformly in major media.
"Refutation of all the lies of the shameless and despicable liar and the madman Xiao Letian who brazenly launched a war..." The beginning was clear, and it was a direct and dismissive rebuttal.
Alexander II expressed his disdain for the Chinese in the most contemptuous tone. What is the Chinese? It was just a scam by the careerist Xiao Letian to steal people and resources from the Qing Dynasty.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty is the legitimate ruler of China, and the Manchu royal family can represent the interests of all Chinese people. Who do you Xiao Letian mean? Do you need to speak for the interests of the survivors in the Far East? To paraphrase an old Chinese saying, if you just eat the carrots and don't worry, you'll be fine!
Of course, Alexander II did not speak such vulgar language, but this is what the official Russian translation into vernacular means.
Throughout the article, Alexander II completely denied the legitimacy of the Chinese people, and even believed that this was an organization that should not exist in the world, and that the whole world should join forces to kill it.
Then he stated the legitimacy of the Sino-Russian treaty. It was just a negotiation on the northern boundary line between the two sides in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. The so-called concept of one million square kilometers of land was completely a stolen concept.
Originally, the land of more than one million square kilometers was under the actual control of Tsarist Russia, but the Manchus and Qing Dynasties did not understand or accept it before. They always thought that they also owned that land.
Now through negotiation, the Manchus realized their mistakes and knew who the real owner of that land was, so they returned it to Tsarist Russia as a matter of course... In fact, it wasn't even a return, it was a statement stating that for hundreds of years The Manchus and Qing Dynasties made a mistake and mistakenly thought that other countries were their own countries.
At the end of the comments, the Tsar even denied all massacres. The so-called massacre at the Qingdao Gold Mine was simply a lie. It was just because Chinese gold miners refused to accept military inspections and privately owned weapons that conflicted with the military. .
There were only a dozen casualties in the conflict, and they were on both sides. How could this be a massacre? Does it make sense to hide weapons privately?
As for crimes such as robbery, killing, and adultery in some settlements, forest farms, and villages, they completely deny it.
You said I robbed you? Which of your eyes saw it? Are you talking nonsense with empty teeth?
kill? Isn't it okay to kill criminals? You threw yourself into the stew pot of our great Tsarist Russian warriors, of course you will be shot!
adultery? Nonsense, we Tsarist Russian soldiers only have shining gold coins in our hands. Is it still reasonable for those despicable indigenous women to sell their bodies for money?
The whole article is full of arrogance and shameless great-power chauvinism that refuses to admit anything!
What you Chinese say are all false, and Xiao Letian's defeat has been determined. Now he is just struggling to death and scolding the streets. I hope that the entire European people will keep their eyes open and never be fooled by the Chinese.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. The Czar was not alone. The Nordic people also had allies. Coupled with the support of French Emperor Napoleon III, this article immediately began to spread faster than Pierre's first post. Articles spread faster.
Alexander II would not be stingy with the small sums of money he gave to reporters. During his spree of black money, many black penholders began to confuse right and wrong and wave the flag for Tsarist Russia, and refuted articles one after another.
In the heart of the Tsar, his counterattack was undoubtedly beautiful, because he firmly believed that his army would win, and that land would eventually be ruled by himself, and of course the winner could explain everything.
Xiao Letian is just barking like a mad dog, and you can't produce any evidence. Why should the European people listen to you?
Sure enough, when the Tsar's rebuttal sounded, Pierre ceased his efforts. For a week in a row, there were only articles written by the Tsar's faction. Those shameless reporters began to pour dirty water on Xiao Letian.
"Don't believe any nonsense from the pervert Xiao Letian. That shameless gangster once occupied the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and the Forbidden City was also under his military control..."
"During the period when he controlled the Forbidden City, he pulled out a cart of naked female corpses from the back door of the Forbidden City every day... That was all the work of the pervert Xiao Letian..."
"It's the same in Ryukyu and Japan. Xiao Letian robbed the rich and nobles, kept 90% of the treasure for himself, and gave the remaining 10% to the people to buy fame. He had a ninja army under his command to collect pure girls for him. Virgin, Xiao Letian’s harem is so huge that it already has more than 3,000 people..."
Crooked building, extremely crooked building, what was originally a serious political topic has actually been turned into a pornographic tabloid by these people.
This is actually the true situation of the media at the end of the 19th century. Due to technical limitations, journalists at that time could only rely on words to attract readers. News with pictures was very rare.
It’s not that printing technology can’t reach it, but due to the limitations of information communication technology, newspapers can only print photos from the nearest areas.
For example, during the Crimean War, newspapers in London were unable to obtain immediate photo information. They could only use text descriptions and the imagination of copper plate illustrators to restore various pictures to give readers an intuitive concept.
The biggest drawback of the news media at this time is that the farther away the news occurs, the more distorted the news will be.
The Far East is half a world away from Europe. Not to mention the people, even ordinary reporters don’t know what is there. Therefore, in this debate, they can only play with their pens and try their best to deceive the people with words.
But Alexander II never expected that Xiao Letian's nuclear weapons were on those two leather bags. When the counterattack article was published on the eighth day, the Times published another heavy counterattack.
"Tear apart the lies of the Tsar and expose the true face of Tsarist Russia! Restore a real Far East! Gentlemen, please keep your eyes open and see that war with your own eyes!"
What's under the big bold letters? All readers went crazy!
"Photos! Look, it's a series of photos, clear photos... It turns out this is what the Far East looks like!"
Someone once said that color photos enrich people's vision, but reduce their artistic value. Truly beautiful photos must still be reflected in black and white images.
The Ussuri River is covered in white ice for thousands of miles. The Oroqen people are walking towards the tribe carrying goats that have been hunted and warmed. In the distance, the tents made of birch bark and animal skins are rising with the smoke of bonfires. Even further away are the endless mountains. There are snowfields and forests.
This is the Far East, a place where beauty is frozen!
The killings of the Tsarist Russian Legion took place in this peaceful and peaceful land.
