C3123 The Führers Worries (1/2)
At the end of 1870, the Franco-Prussian War had finally come to an end. The Interim Defence Government had also surrendered, and they had given up their siege of Paris.
The sounds of gunfire finally gradually died down, and what replaced it was the church bells celebrating Christmas!
Christmas was the most important holiday for the Europeans, but Xiao Letian clearly did not have this good luck to rest, so he had become extremely busy during this period.
One was the war in the Philippines. At this moment, almost all of the diplomats from all over Europe had flocked to France, one was to mediate the Franco-Prussian War, and the other was to advise Xiao Letian not to change the current situation in Southeast Asia.
The Spanish Interim Government had already gone mad. They protested to Xiao Letian and reiterated that the incident with the Dragonfish was an accident!
Even the Spanish newspapers began to say that this was a Chinese scheme and a Chinese evil!
All the countries that had enmity with Xiao Letian protested strongly and openly stood on the side of Spain. There were even countries that expressed their willingness to give Spain a strong Cossack mercenary army.
Even the Queen of Spain, who had gone into exile in the southern part of France, had begun to try to rope in the various factions in the southern part of France.
The Netherlands also had its own colony in Southeast Asia. Ever since the outbreak of the war in Brunei, they had felt a deep threat!
However, the Dutch nation was too weak to fight against the Chinese army alone. Seeing that the Spaniard was in trouble, he quickly took this opportunity to throw an olive branch at Spain.
The Netherlands expresses its strong concern about the situation and is ready to provide humanitarian material support to the Spanish garrison in the Philippines!
What is material support? I'm afraid the only force that's going to support them is the naval fleet!
The crisis in the Philippines had even diluted the influence of the Franco-Prussian War. Diplomats across Europe had a busy Christmas!
Xiao Letian did not fear the incoming pressure at all and continued to use his strong words to counterattack. The incident with the Dragonfish, the Chinese firmly believed that it was the Spaniard's doing and had even dug out hundreds of years of old debts.
Don't think that the Chinese are easily bullied at this moment. The newspapers that have invested in these past few years should also be mobilized. Public opinion cannot always be controlled by you Europeans!
Through all the bloody reports, he finally found out what the Spaniard had done in the past few hundred years in front of the kind people of Europe.
After the baptism of the Franco-Prussian War, the Chinese international influence had been greatly improved, and the governments of various countries had to be very careful in dealing with the Chinese affairs.
Although the politicians wanted to directly seal Xiao Letian's newspaper, they did not dare. The current Chinese people were not people that the Great Qing could casually bully!
What's the use of arguing in the media? After all, the media affected the hearts of the people, and in the hands of the public, there were lots of votes.
European politicians sometimes have to say something ungrateful about the votes!
After all, most of the countries in Europe were monarchs at the moment. The rights of the people were incomparable to those of the 21st century, and in this world, one's fist was the most powerful.
