Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Prussian freelance writer Leo, now a reddish, purplish golden penholder in Europe, did not rely on any newspaper in itself, but any newspaper had to have a good relationship with him.

This was because Leo was the head of the Chinese propaganda war in Europe. He held countless pieces of explosive news. Any news related to the East would pass through his hands.

Right now, if the Thames wanted to write a report on East Asia, they would have to ask him for guidance first.

As soon as Xiao Letian gave the order, Lei Ao immediately took action. He personally sent invitations to all the newspapers that had good relations with him, and the black horse carriage from the East Palace ran all over the City of London. The exhausted policemen following behind him were as dead as dogs.

Even if no one invited them, they would still want to interview Xiao Letian. When they heard that the leader had spent half a day to do an interview with a small group of people, the editors of the various major newspapers immediately took action.

At 8 AM in the morning, vehicles were gathered in front of the Eastern Palace gate. The people who had arrived today were the true elites of the newspaper industry. Their statuses were extremely high.

In the Eastern Palace's luxurious hall, the bright red velvet chairs were soft and comfortable. The seats of the editors were arranged into a semicircle with a single sofa in the center.

The atmosphere in the hall was very relaxed and casual. There were many fresh flowers placed around, and a top-grade sandalwood was burning in the corner. There was a quiet and serene atmosphere in the hall.

Flowers, sandalwood, and the faint sound of a zither could be heard from afar. A strong Oriental feeling blew over. After the editors took their seats, a maid quickly brought out towels and iced tea. From a distance, he turned on the rotating fan to bring in a breeze.

Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of leather boots hitting the floor from the entrance, "Salute!" The guard stood at attention with his chest puffed up, Xiao Letian led his generals into the hall.

All of the editors stood up and clapped as they looked at the leader. It seemed like the emotional investment from before was still very useful, Benjamin's tarnishing did not change their impression of the Hua Clan.

Today, Xiao Letian did not wear a Field Marshal's uniform, neither did he wear a suit. Instead, he wore a set of ordinary clothes made of linen, which gave off a thick Chinese wind, causing people to feel extremely comfortable.

"Everyone, please take a seat. There's plenty of time today. I'll give everyone a special interview. We can have a deep chat and talk about anything …" Sit down! "

After the host took his seat and began his opening speech, everyone quickly went back to the main topic. A total of twenty-six editors, with the Thames newspaper as the main editor, began to take turns asking questions.

"What do you think of the Prime Minister's assessment of you, Führer? And what's the best way to deal with it? "

"Mm …" Thank you for your openness. Since I have asked this sensitive question, I naturally will not avoid it … "Prime Minister Benjamin called me a barbarian warlord. Let's talk about this later, let's talk about what is a nation first …"

"All of you here are highly educated, elite intellectuals. I think you all should understand the definition and composition of a country. Although the schools of thought differ from each other, I think that since there are four things that have been accomplished, it should be called a country!"

"The first thing is to have a territory. This is a must, no country can't be established without land! "Second of all, there must be a people who can also be said to be a people. Naturally, a desert with no people cannot be called a country. It's just like Antarctica. Can you tell me which country it is?"

"We have land, we can't have people, and we have to have our own culture! This is very important. If you don't have your own culture and everything about you is the same as your neighbors', then natural selection will be fused together … "

"Can the East and West End be divided into two countries? Obviously that's impossible, because we all have the same words, language, habits, values … All of these naturally fused together! "

"That is why there must be a cultural difference in order to become a country on its own!"

"And the fourth point, is that there must be a government, a representative of the national image, a solid state authority... And we, the Chinese people do not have these? "

"The Ryukyu's land was donated by the King Shang Tai, so the documents were reasonable and legal. Therefore, the Ryukyu's Island Chain should be considered our territory, and there should not be any objections regarding this point. This includes many of the southern Asia where the Chinese gather, and are of the same species as us.

"Someone will say that the lands of Southeast Asia do not belong to the Chinese … But let me also remind you that international law also follows the three principles of first discovery, first development and first ownership of an uninhabited land! "

"On this piece of land, whoever discovered that there was a natural control over it, such as the ownerless island in the The Age of Great Navigation, with any random explorer marking on the map, the person would be recognized as the owner of the island by all the countries …"

"Under the principle of first discovery, there is also another principle of first development. If you were to discover an island without any construction, then the later generations would be able to reclaim and develop a large number of immigrants … "In this case, the principle of first discovery cannot be applied!"

"The reason is very simple. The builder and the discoverer have the same power, because this is a natural right! It can't be said that you found this Earth, but since you didn't build it, this land will forever be yours? "There is no such reason in this world …"

"In Southeast Asia, many Chinese reclamation area s were seized from wild beasts and reclaimed from the desolate and dense forest. They might have given many Earth States s to cultivate in these regions on the map, but they did not build anything for thousands of years. If the heavens gave it to them, they would abandon it, so it can't be blamed on us …"

The editors around them burst into laughter. Many of them nodded. "That makes sense. Many of the disputed areas still depend on the local ethnic groups when conducting diplomatic consultations, just like the ones controlled by the French in Alsace and Rolin. Because of the German and Germany culture, Prussia never gave up."

"It's very likely that these two pieces of French land will return to the arms of the Germany. After all, all of the nationalities and cultures here belong to the Germany!"

"That's right. Look at us, we still have something in common. Now, I can't be considered a barbarian from the East, can I?"

Those who were so familiar with international diplomatic norms and were even familiar with the subterfuge were definitely not on good terms with the barbarians. Everyone smiled as they shook their heads and memorized the shorthand of the pen in their hands.
