Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 289 Newspaper Controversy
As soon as the content of the "South China Sea Treaty" signed between Xifeng Kingdom and Dong'an was made public, it caused an uproar in the Western world.

Sky-high compensation and public apologies are enough to shock ordinary people.You must know that this kind of thing happened in the past either between the Western countries, or other small countries did the same to the Western countries.

When will the Western countries do this to the Eastern countries?

Not to mention, there is the absolutely unacceptable thing of ceding land.

Almost on the day when the contents of the treaty were spread, large-scale protests broke out in Xifeng, which had finally calmed down a little.

This protest was more serious than the last one.If we talk about the last war bond incident, it was their interests that were harmed.Then this land cession treaty will damage their spirit and dignity.

For the rich, spirit and dignity are nothing, and they can make compromises for their own interests.

But for the poor, they have no benefit.Spirit and dignity, it can even be said that they are the only things they have, are the bottom line.

Therefore, they may still be able to bear the loss of interests, but the loss of dignity is absolutely unbearable.

For a time, protests and marches erupted in many cities across the country of West Maple. The people had only one appeal, that is, to let President Deltz of West Maple Country step down and abolish the South China Sea Treaty.

People were very loud, and all kinds of destruction naturally accompanied the protests.

Shops were smashed, public facilities were destroyed, and some innocent people were also victimized indiscriminately.

Many Xifeng soldiers were even angered. People believed that the signing of the treaty was also related to the incompetence of the soldiers.As a result, many soldiers were attacked and had to hide in their homes.

Such a huge momentum is no longer easily suppressed by the military and police.

The parliament and the presidential palace responded immediately and officially launched the impeachment procedure against President Deltz.

But that itself is part of the plan.

In the President's Office, Delz said solemnly to several confidants: "According to the procedure, there will be a six-month review period from the beginning to the end of the impeachment. During these six months, we must reverse the situation."

It turned out that Delz had planned it long ago, because he knew that once the news was made public, the domestic people's dissatisfaction with him would definitely soar to an astonishing level.

At this time, no matter what he said or did, it was useless.

Then, in order to minimize the damage, it is better not to do unnecessary things and start the impeachment procedure directly.

When the people learn about this, their anger will naturally calm down.

And the six months of the program is the period that Delz can control.

After all, during the impeachment period, he is still the president, and there will be little impact on power, only a few powers will be unusable.For example, the president's personnel transfer power cannot be used during the impeachment period, but this does not matter to Delz, and he himself does not plan to make personnel adjustments.

"Your Excellency, the treaty still needs to be implemented?" a confidant asked.

"Of course." Dalz nodded noncommittally, "but this matter has to be done in secret. Keep those reporters under control and keep them silent for a while. If anyone has any objections..." Dilz made a cold look. With gestures, several confidants immediately expressed their understanding.

Apart from Xifeng Kingdom, other countries in the West are also not at peace.

Especially for the major allied countries, they have to share part of the huge compensation in the treaty.Otherwise, the soldiers who were captured in Jinghai would not be able to redeem them—the families of the soldiers and the domestic opposition have been holding on to this matter during this time.

In the country of Saxon, which has nothing to do with this matter, discussions on the treaty are also rampant.

Newspapers continue to publish the views of domestic celebrities on this matter.

Literary writers, philosophers, social critics, etc., many people have something to say and opinions to express, and there are almost not enough columns in newspapers.The entire page is devoted to this matter, and only a few newspapers still leave a small section for funny cartoons and jokes, so that readers will not be nervous from beginning to end.

Among these speakers, an editorial scholar named "Yurikin" made the most bold remarks.

He stated that the signing of the South China Sea Treaty symbolized the beginning of the decline of the Western Kingdom.When the powerful empire of Xifeng Kingdom has to sign such a treaty that humiliates the country, it means that the strength of Dong'an Kingdom is unimaginable.I'm afraid that it won't be long before the entire western world will prostrate at the feet of the young emperor of Dong'an.

Once this bold view was released, it caused an uproar, with some supporters and some opponents.

Supporters think that although Yurikin's words are ugly, they are indeed true.Because many phenomena show that Dong'an is indeed very powerful.Although most people have never been to Dong'an, Dong'an's goods can be seen everywhere in the Western Kingdom.

Whether it is cheap goods or expensive luxury goods, Dong'an goods have made a name for themselves in the West.The upper-class people like to use Dong'an's precious silk and porcelain, and even learn some magical martial arts called "Kung Fu".People at the bottom also like to use some small goods from Dong'an. They believe that the goods from Dong'an are of better quality and last longer.

But the voices of opponents are also very loud. They are used to the West Country being the most advanced and great existence in the world, and they hold an absolutely hostile attitude towards all challengers.

As for those who openly spoke to the Dong'an platform, they even denounced them as traitors and spies, and wanted to "dispose" them.

There is no doubt that these opponents are more destructive than supporters, and they are all organized actions.Several opposition organizations sent threatening letters to Yuri Jinfa, threatening him that if he continued to talk nonsense, they would go to his house and kill him!
It's just that these opposition groups didn't expect that Yurikin not only didn't shut up, but instead sent a threatening letter to the newspaper.This group of people in the newspaper office has always been afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Seeing the arrival of this excellent news material, they immediately worked overtime to print and distribute it.

This angered the opponents. Some extremist organizations really wanted to do something to Yurikin, but the latter was not a fool. After sending the threatening letter to the newspaper, he applied for a writ of habeas corpus to the police. .

As a famous scholar, if something happens to him, the social impact will be very bad.So in order to protect him, the police station also sent several police officers to patrol around his house day and night, warning some opposition elements not to mess around.

With a precedent, the relevant speeches published in the newspapers have also become more.It seems to have become a debate stage, where supporters and opponents of the theory of the rise of Dong'an took turns to express their opinions, trying to impose their views on the public.

Ordinary people do not have the opportunity to speak out publicly, and most of them only discuss a few words during meals at home, or get together to talk when they go to pubs to drink.Unlike those famous people from all walks of life who speak in the newspapers, they have to earn money to support their families, and they don't have so much time to discuss this and that.

But some things, once they happen, cannot be undone.After the great discussion about Dong'an emerged, confrontation and division inevitably appeared in the Western Kingdom.

However, Su Yuan, the Emperor of Dong'an who caused all this, is currently arranging the venue for the martial arts conference.
