This was truly a very interesting game. In the battle against the public in Spain, Xiao Letian had already gained the upper hand, because he had obtained the most comprehensive and accurate information, while the Government of Spain was still confused!
It was also because of this time difference that Xiao Letian could be like a dog in the face of this public opinion war. It was all thanks to this information transmission technology that was left behind in the world, as well as the fact that there were very few teleportation stations in the world.
He definitely could not leak out all the information in one breath. That would have an impact but would not be able to drive the tempo!
They had to put it out little by little. First, they had to put in a big piece of news, saying that the Spanish fleet had ambushed Brunei Bay during the night, but they didn't tell them the truth!
Journalists, don't be anxious. There is no answer to your questions. After all, the transmission of telegrams from east to west is still inefficient. We have no choice but to write so much with the first telegram!

This sort of thing was so fun to watch! It was human nature to watch! And war was the most attractive thing in all the news, because it was so much conflict!
The Franco-Prussian War was of course exciting, but it was European war after all. The news spread quickly, and people could quickly get the latest war reports. This way, the novelty and mystique decreased!
However, this Asian war was different. This was the ancient and mysterious Asia, and it was also the rainforest filled Southeast Asia. The conflict between the ancient civilizations and the modern European powers was already full of drama!
