The news media during the Republic of China had a high degree of freedom.
The Beiyang government during this period did not know how to control public opinion. It had neither a news censorship system nor an access threshold.
Basically, as long as you recruit a few people, form a grassroots team, copy two news items from other people's newspapers, and find a printing house to print the first issue, a so-called newspaper can be opened openly.
And because the Chinese dynasty has favored intellectuals for thousands of years, the public has a very high degree of trust in newspapers. They almost do whatever the newspapers say. This has also caused the mentality of these media people to gradually become unbalanced. There is nothing they cannot do.
There is no one they dare to scold if they dare to do it.
In fact, there was a very special group of people in Chinese history, they were the censors who had the power to hear and speak out.
The reason why this profession is special is that it is not punishable by words.
Hearsay means that as long as they hear something, whether it has been verified or not, then they can report it to the court or make it public without worrying about any responsibility.
In the current news media of the Republic of China, many people regard themselves as censors. They can express their opinions on anything they want without worrying about taking responsibility.
This is also the fundamental reason why almost all domestic media have been swarming in smearing Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion some time ago.
The law does not blame everyone
But here in Qin Zhiyuan, this matter will definitely not be forgotten.
Regarding the irresponsible reporting by some people in the Republic of China some time ago, whether they were motivated by public motives or bribed by others, they must pay the price for the bad impact they caused. Qin Zhiyuan was full of murderous intent.
cost
This is unexpected news.
At this time, there is no relevant law in the world for news media reporting, so reporters can expose other people's stories without scruples, spread unverified reports without scruples, and they can supervise people with just words.
Although the media industry itself has lost control of its own identity.
Qin, what are you going to do? The reporter asked tentatively.
As we all know, there must be someone behind the scenes in this matter, so this matter should actually be raised to the legal category. But in the Republic of China, I can't do anything because I am a Frenchman now, and it is impossible for me to interfere with the police of the Republic of China.
However, I ask those so-called newspapers and reporters to be careful. I have a backup of every word you say and every report you publish. Don’t always think that the law does not punish the public. That depends on
Who is your enemy? Here in the Foreign Legion, no one has ever been able to offend the Foreign Legion and then escape unscathed. Whether it is one year or ten years, whether it involves a thousand people or ten thousand people, I will definitely track down the Qin Dynasty.
Zhiyuan put on a desperate posture.
The reporters looked at each other in astonishment and remained silent. They could almost foresee that their counterparts in the Republic of China would be unlucky this time.
And I want to declare here that everyone, I mean everyone, all countries, if they provide protection for those unscrupulous media people in the Republic of China on this matter, then they will be our Foreign Legion, no, we
The enemies of Lanfang Grand Duchy will definitely trigger a war. Qin Zhiyuan sneered again and again, as if he had seen the end of some people.
This was a fight to the death. The reporters present immediately adjusted their caution in reporting on Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion. They really couldn't afford to offend such a vengeful guy.
In fact, the journalist industry also has unspoken rules. For example, if certain reports involve certain big figures, the editor's attitude is that they would rather suppress it than take risks. Who knows whether those big figures will laugh it off, and if it really incurs the force of certain forces?
Suppressed, seemingly powerful journalists have no ability to resist.
For example, European reporters are very cautious about Qin Zhiyuan.
As early as after the Corsica dock incident, several British and French newspapers reported on it. However, almost on the same day, those newspapers were raided and asked to make corrections. Within a few days, the corrections had not been made.
Completed, the newspapers involved in the report have changed owners, and all editors and reporters involved in the report have been kicked out.
This is the power of capital. Instead of arguing with you in the newspaper, they directly buy the newspaper, leaving you with no room to make your voice heard.
For some newspapers with a national background, it is also very simple. They will not argue with you. When it comes to a specific person, a crazy carriage on the street can end it all.
Don't think it can't reach this level. Even in the 21st century, such things happen frequently.
If it comes to reality, Qin Zhiyuan was once assassinated. Although it was unsuccessful, Ludendorff did die under the assassin's gun. This is an indisputable fact. And just a few days ago, he was forced to sign a collegial agreement recognizing Lan Fang.
Independent Villardum drowned in the bathtub of his bathroom at home.
This is another murder.
Qin, can we report directly? Some reporters were obviously frightened.
Don’t change a word. I did it. I will definitely admit it and take responsibility. But if I didn’t do it, then the other party will have to bear responsibility. Qin Zhiyuan has no intention of hiding it.
Even if the brutal revenge is not yet his turn, Qin Zhiyuan will let his enemies live in fear.
Qin Zhiyuan just wants everyone to know that going against the foreign legion will never end well.
In fact, before the emergence of Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion, the international image of the Chinese was ugly, cowardly, cautious, and peace-loving.
Ugly because of the big pigtails that don’t fit in, cowardly because there is no confidence, cautious because there is no strong motherland behind him, and peace-loving because he can’t be beaten
This press conference is the first time that Qin Zhiyuan has publicly expressed his voice, and it is also the first time that Lan Fang has expressed his voice in front of the world. Qin Zhiyuan must be tough, must retaliate, and must not flinch, because Qin Zhiyuan is not only
Representing myself, the 200,000 soldiers of the Foreign Legion, and the 7 million Chinese in Lanfang.
So Qin, will you go to Lanfang next? A reporter changed the topic.
The topic just now was so heavy that all the reporters felt lingering fear. I am afraid their biggest relief now is: Fortunately, I did not have any grudge against the foreign military union.
Really, it’s not that easy to get married.
For Qin Zhiyuan now, Qin Zhiyuan really doesn't take ordinary verbal attacks to heart. As the saying goes, the only people you can hurt are those who love you. It is precisely because you care that you will be hurt. It is precisely because you are too unconditional.
The sacrifices made make people feel that they are not worthy of attention.
Yes, I will go to Lanfang for a while first. In any case, the people there trust me. Since they trust me, they cannot betray this trust. After a while, I will consider accepting a position in the Army Department.
, if the position of Governor of Indochina is still vacant by then, Qin Zhiyuan can't dwell on those unpleasant things while talking about some light-hearted topics.
Haha, Qin, then you have to be careful. If I have an unhappy life as Minister of War, maybe I will choose to go to the Far East, and then the two of us will be neighbors. Lyautey smiled happily.
Look at people's level. Being a neighbor can rise to the national level. If you want to visit, you probably have to take a plane.
Haha, of course that's good, maybe the three of us can still sit together like this. Qin Zhiyuan had other ideas.
Together
This is big news.
The arms were raised together again.
Marshal, what do you think Qin said, would you choose to go to Lanfang? A reporter looked curious.
Oh, yes, I have decided to accept Lanfang's invitation and go to Lanfang to serve as a military adviser. Foch downplayed it and didn't even look at the broken eyeballs.
Foch is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Powers and the only marshal in France. If he himself serves as the advisor to Lanfang's military department, then Lanfang's military level will be high enough.
Hey, don't look at me with such surprised eyes, I will go to Lanfang, just because the salary they give is high enough, and I have seen the house they prepared for me, it is so beautiful, it is unparalleled. Fu
The eyebrows are dancing with joy.
In order to advertise for his son-in-law, Foch spared no effort.
When he became the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Powers, Foch has reached the pinnacle of his life. Now that the world war is over, it is time for Foch to retire. If he stays, it will be out of date, because there will no longer be a suitable position for Foch, regardless of
It would be an insult to Foch to have him hold any position.
Going to Lanfang is different. Everyone knows the relationship between Foch and Qin Zhiyuan. Foch joining Lanfang can be seen as an act of love and care for the younger generation. This is a good story.
It's just that this kind of good news is not so friendly to the French Ministry of War.
But the Minister of War, Lyautey, could not express his position. He had a good relationship with Qin Zhiyuan and Foch, so he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
So what about Corsica? Qin, what will happen to those research institutes and factories on Corsica? Will you move them back to Lanfang? A reporter raised a sensitive question.
Since Wilson proposed the Fourteen Points, Corsica's status in France has become increasingly sensitive.
Today's Corsica is no longer the dispensable and wild place it was two years ago.
Corsica now not only does not need blood transfusions from the French government, but can already feed France back. An obvious example is that just a penicillin factory has already made the French government a lot of gains.
What's more, there are two extremely prosperous and beautiful cities on Corsica, Thunder City and Trident City. According to rumors, they are already paradise on earth.
Corsica now has a status similar to that of the Dominion in the French Republic.
Corsica pays taxes to France and obeys the management of the French government, but does not accept officials from the French government or troops stationed by the French government. Everything in Corsica is decided by the two city councils of Thunder City and Trident City.
Even the French government has no right to interfere.
Everyone knows the efforts that Qin Zhiyuan and the Foreign Legion have made in Corsica for two years. If Qin Zhiyuan wants to evacuate the Chinese on Corsica, then Corsica may return to its previous state. That is everyone
No one wants to see it.
No, no, Corsica is French Corsica. No one can change Corsica's position. Don't forget, I am still French. Qin Zhiyuan's stance is firm.
Well, these words are really reassuring to everyone present.
