Chapter 410 The Commanding Heights of Public Opinion (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
Street confrontations do not lead to wars, at best they are conflicts.

"I think it's just a conflict of law enforcement powers."

In the headquarters of Prince Gaston, Li Yunhao said with a smile on his face.

"We just caught a few soldiers who committed crimes."

Li Yunhao's words were light and light.It was calm, as if this matter was nothing at all.

As for killing people and confronting each other, in his opinion, they are trivial things that are not worth mentioning.

But it's just a verbal conflict.

"It's a Brazilian soldier!"

Prince Gaston almost said this sentence word by word.

"freeman!"

Li Yunhao once again emphasized the identities of those people.Their identities are extremely special, they are not ordinary Brazilian soldiers, but a group of, um...slaves, all of which are the sins of the Brazilians.

""freeman" is also a Brazilian soldier,"

Gaston said dissatisfied.

"Your people not only beat them, but also killed two people, and the other one is still unconscious. You said that this is just a conflict of law enforcement power, but how can this be explained?"

No matter how you say it, you can't kill people, can you?Stepping back and killing people.There is always a price to pay, how can you be so light and flirtatious like this, as if it didn't happen?

Facing Prince Gaston's questioning, Li Yunhao replied.

"Your Highness, I think any gentleman will stand up and uphold justice in the face of a woman being bullied, what do you think, Your Highness."

"Um……"

Gaston nodded with some difficulty. How could he not know what kind of people those "freeman" were? A considerable part of the so-called atrocities committed by the Brazilian army were done by them. Those people are not good at fighting, they robbed and killed people But it is a good hand.

Those officers complained a lot about me, and even in their view, it was the crimes committed by the "freeman" that caused the Brazilian army to be blamed all over the world.

Even the wives of some military officers wrote letters to their husbands accusing them of crimes.

Of course, those officers are definitely not clean, but that doesn't prevent them from putting all the responsibility on the "freeman", but anyway, those people are still Brazilian soldiers.

"However, they are Brazilian soldiers, even if they are sanctioned, they should be arrested by us."

The prince's confidence was a bit lacking, how could he not know that the officers did not have the will to maintain military discipline at all.

"Look, Your Royal Highness, this is just the conflict of law enforcement powers I mentioned earlier."

Li Yunhao laughed.

"As for the deaths of those people, on the one hand, they deserved to be blamed, and on the other hand, it was... well, I can only say that those criminals are too weak and completely vulnerable. What do you think? There is no need to hurt the feelings between our two countries for a few "freeman"!"

Just a few "freeman"!

After hearing the news, Li Yunhao was probably most fortunate that the dead were "freemen". Maybe they were Brazilian soldiers, but they were just cannon fodder for the Brazilian army.

"We need corresponding compensation!"

Prince Gaston thought for a while and said.

"After all, I need to explain to the army. Maybe "freeman" is not worth mentioning, but the officers are very dissatisfied with your gendarmerie's offside law enforcement. You know, those officers..."

Many of those officers were hostile to the royal family.They are supporters of the republican faction, and they must give some explanation to those people!

Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Prince Gaston sighed.

"We always need to take their emotions into consideration. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to control the dissatisfaction of the army."

This is Brazil!
Li Yunhao thought to himself, what does this Brazil look like?

On the surface of the empire, there are a large number of republican officers in the officer corps. In this war, the power of the soldiers has grown further. This is why the emperor of Brazil hopes to end this war. If the war continues, it will Cause unrest in Brazil? .

"As law enforcers, it is certainly impossible for us to compensate for our law-abiding behavior. At most, it is over-enforcement."

Li Yunhao said directly.

"Then, let the Paraguayan government provide compensation."

"Well, yes."

After Prince Gaston agreed, Li Yunhao said again.

"In order to avoid this kind of thing from happening again, I think we can discuss the law enforcement power of the gendarmerie. After all, we are all civilized people, so we can't turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by the army!"

What is civilization?

The so-called civilization has always been defined by the strong.

But civilization can be disguised, and Nanhua is a pretender. From the very beginning, it carefully put on a layer of "civilized country" shell for itself.The reason for putting on this shell is, to put it bluntly, to snatch the right to speak internationally.

For Zhu Xianhai, who lives in the [-]st century, he has witnessed time and time again how the great powers "practice" the arbitrariness of justice, and of course he has also seen how they distort the facts and seize the international discourse power.

What is the right to speak internationally?
"It's what the enemy will take if you don't take it away. Our skin color and our civilization determine that we are doomed not to pee in the same pot as Westerners, but this does not prevent us from striving for the control of public opinion, and then It doesn't matter if we report it as it is or distort it, as long as we can turn them into a bunch of savages..."

After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said.

"Turks, for example. Originally, Turks were synonymous with barbarians in Europe, but the Russians never thought of using public opinion to fight for a situation that is more beneficial to them. What happened?"

Referring to Russia's stupid behavior in the "Turkish-Russian War", Zhu Xianhai's tone was full of sarcasm.

"They—the Orthodox Christians' attack on Turkey were actually repelled by Britain and France. Although this was due to the international situation, Russia lost control of public opinion from the very beginning. Called a "barbaric invader", but what about Turkey? It is forced to fight, this is public opinion! If the Russians set themselves up as "the savior of Christians under Turkey's cruel rule" from the beginning, even if the two countries want to If you want to intervene, you must also consider the gushing public opinion."

What is the control of public opinion?
It may even directly affect the victory of the war, which is why Zhu Xianhai will lay out public opinion in advance, and in this war, the reason why he cleverly disguised himself is to fight for the moral high ground.

In this regard, the Japanese in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-] did very well. They even used various methods such as bribery and bribery to get The Times to publish an article proving that Japan’s surprise attack on the British Qing Dynasty troop carrier was correct and reasonable. rather than piracy.Even the Lushun massacre was directly insulted by European and American public opinion.

As a Chinese, Zhu Xianhai is of course eager to eat his bones, but on the other hand, he does not deny that their public opinion offensive is effective. On the other hand, the international public opinion participation of "My Tartar Qing" is a big "0".

"Marshal, the public opinion is in our favour. The conflict in Apesson has further proved Nanhua's status as the "protector of civilization", but..."

Zuo Zongtang looked at the marshal and said.

"We have occupied the moral high ground from the beginning, and now it is very likely to become our burden. After all, we are going to annex the whole of Argentina in the end. How can we explain this annexation?"

Facing Zuo Zongtang's question, Zhu Xianhai was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly.

"Explain? Explain what?"

"A reason to annex Argentina!"

"reason?"

Looking at Zuo Zongtang, Zhu Xianhai said with a bit of resentment.

"Ji Gao, what can I say about you? Don't talk about how they define "civilization" and "barbarism" after you have been in Europe for so long. Let's just say that what is written in the history books is written by Man Qing himself. History books, when the Manchus entered the customs, how did they explain their entry? Surely they didn’t say anything? “I barbarously conquered civilization in the Qing Dynasty”, what did they say? Isn’t it “revenge for the former emperor”, Isn't it in accordance with the destiny! We..."

After a pause, he walked to the window and looked at Putrajaya outside the window. Zhu Xianhai's tone became low and full of strength.

"We came here not to occupy this land, but to let the people on this land bathe in the light of civilization!"

"Of course, in order to prove that we are the "light of civilization", we still have to explain it, um, follow public opinion!"
