The pursuit of novelty is an innate desire of human beings. It is a primitive adventurous gene that encourages people's thoughts. The exploration of all mysteries is completely human instinct. Just fall in love with Lewen.com
But the reality is very cruel. Not everyone can become an adventurer. The vast majority of people are still fixed in their own life track, living day after day, year after year, until they die.
Farmers have been farmers all their lives, and workers have been workers their whole lives. If you were born in London, you may grow old and die here. If you grew up in the suburbs of Paris, your cemetery will be there too.
For more than 90% of the people, the radius of their lives is only within a hundred miles of the diameter of their hometown. If they can extend their scope of activities to thousands of miles, they are already very remarkable people.
As for taking a sailing ship to a foreign land hundreds of thousands of kilometers away? It is destined to have no connection with ordinary people, and the cost of a cross-Atlantic ticket is already a huge sum of money that ordinary people dare not think of.
Reality binds people's legs but cannot bind human beings' desire for novelty. Just look at the folk's obsession with legends about distant countries, and you can guess how huge this market is.
Smart newspaper people have keenly discovered this huge market and started to take action. Whoever can meet the needs of readers will naturally increase their circulation.
Now the material library sent by Xiao Letian just concentrates the weaknesses of all newspaper people and meets the needs of the majority of readers. Moreover, this is a series of Eastern reports, which is completely different from the superficial curiosity in the past. The depth and breadth are very intriguing.
Gradually, a group of Oriental Chinese fans began to appear. They feverishly collected all the photos and articles and compiled them into thick albums. They were the first to read the series of articles about Oriental Chinese published in newspapers every day. Gradually, this activity became a habit like coffee every morning.
Psychologists have studied habits. Human beings only need to do one thing repeatedly for 21 days, such as going to bed early and getting up early, drinking tea, quitting smoking, exercising... As long as you can persist for 21 days God, then this thing will definitely become a habit for you.
From the first article declaring war to now, not only 21 days, but also 31 days have passed. European people, at least the urban people with advanced information, have long been accustomed to reading the Oriental Chinese series of reports every day. Following Xiao Letian Let’s curse Tsarist Russia together, study oriental food together, and take a look at the beautiful scenery and customs of distant countries.
Even many government officials have become accustomed to this series of reports. Pierre did not dare to guess how many fans the Oriental Chinese series of reports had, but he was sure that there must be many.
As time passed, the war in the Far East was raging, and backward telegraph technology made it difficult for European politicians to get first-hand news.
Including the most powerful Britain, their Prime Minister Benjamin only received a telegram from the counselor stationed in Shanghai: "Tsarist Russia is in a bitter war, the Chinese are extremely tenacious, and the Russian navy is ambushed on the Amami Island..."
Look, this is the information that the Prime Minister of the British Empire could get. Because telegraph technology was not mature at that time, and the equipment for sending signals was not precise enough, so various interferences and human errors often occurred.
In order to avoid the omission of information and save costs, people in that era required the text to be extremely concise when sending telegrams. It was best that one word could express all the meanings.
British officials in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong were also at a loss as to what the war situation was like in the far Far East. They could only filter out some valuable intelligence and feed it back to their mother country.
It was precisely due to the extremely poor information transmission that the Russian Navy was completely wiped out on the Amami Oshima Island. Shanghai thought it was just being surrounded and ambushed.
The city of Vladivostok in the Far East has been breached, but Beijing still thought that the Tsarist Russian defenders were still holding on.
This time difference is what Xiao Letian wants. Taking advantage of this time difference, the Chinese propaganda machine preemptively seizes the psychological high ground of the European people.
Just when all European politicians fantasized about the final announcement of Tsarist Russia's victory and then watched the Chinese people humiliated and deflated, after more than 20 consecutive days of charming and humanistic introductions, Pierre finally ignited the third stage of the guide as planned. fuse.
The Chinese's opponents quickly changed from Tsarist Russia to the French who were watching the excitement.
"The Tsarist Russian expeditionary fleet passed through the South China Sea and, under the leadership of French spies, massacred innocent Chinese people in the Bailayitun Reclamation Area and burned two million dans of rice...Excuse me!"
London, Paris, Berlin, Rome... major cities in Europe suddenly rang out with newsboys' cries. The Bai Layi tragedy was exposed, and separately printed extras were given away on the streets without spending money. It immediately caused a sensation.
People crowded forward to grab the special edition from the newsboy, and stood on the street corner and read it intently. There were also photos, witnesses and physical evidence, and detailed text introductions. The entire Bailayi tragedy was restored from beginning to end.
Only then did people know that French Emperor Napoleon III had actually joined forces with Tsarist Russia, and that all Eastern spies in France were working for Tsarist Russia.
And those expeditionary forces, when they passed through the Strait of Dover last year, mainstream European newspapers reported on them. Didn’t they say at that time that this fleet was a reinforcement force for the Russian Tsarist Army in the Far East? Why didn't you just go to the Far East and go to Kalimantan to kill people and set fires?
Wait a minute? Bailayi is a Chinese reclamation area, so nominal sovereignty is still in the hands of the Tuwang, right? Even if Tsarist Russia goes to war with the Chinese, where can't they use force?
People were talking in the streets and alleys, and the whole of Europe was shocked by the news!
Not only the people were shocked, but also the politicians who were not afraid of the big news. British Prime Minister Benjamin was the first to send his secretary to the Times. It is said that the first secretary roared in the editor's room for a whole hour.
But the editor-in-chief was also very aggrieved, "Please tell the Prime Minister that this time the Chinese paid for the printing themselves, and I have not reviewed the manuscript at all! You should go to the printing house and ask!"
But the printing factory is also aggrieved. Why is it bothering you that I am making money to take over jobs? Besides, it’s so fun to scold the French, so I even gave them a 20% discount.
Benjamin's anger is justified. He can tolerate the Chinese's attack on Tsarist Russia, but now he will never allow the Chinese to throw dirty water on France, because the direction of the Franco-Prussian War must dance according to the British baton, and any extraneous matters will is not allowed.
Benjamin roared angrily in the Prime Minister's residence. He began to order all British newspapers to no longer accept reports from the Chinese, no matter how much money they paid.
