Moreover, you can also see if there are others who have taken the bait. Speaking of the European battlefield so far, the total number of participating countries is only nine, and three of them have already perished. After all, this number is a bit small.
Among the remaining countries, except Sweden, which must make money for itself, and Spain, which must be kept to deal with the United States, so it is best not to get involved in the war, other countries are fine, especially the Netherlands...
Well, Emperor Yang discovered that at this time, the only country in Europe that was eligible to participate in the war was the Netherlands. Originally, the main participants in the war were the Balkan countries. But now, except for Greece, which still retains some vitality, Serbia has joined the war and has perished. Montenegro and Bulgaria have given way.
The Ottomans broke their legs, Romania joined the Allies, and nothing else. As for Greece, their main enemy was Hamid II. Besides, they also suffered heavy losses in the Balkan War. The war reparations have not been paid out yet, for sure.
I'm not stupid enough to go to dinner with the Tyrannosaurus Rex again.
In this way, only the Netherlands and Portugal are left in Europe. The Nordic countries have not yet been involved in the war. Northern Europe is dominated by Sweden, and the others include Denmark and Norway. At this time, Finland still belonged to the Russian Empire, and the title of Grand Duke of Finland was still worn by Nicholas.
On the head, although Denmark and Germany have an old grudge against Schleswig and Holstein, the problem is that they also have an old grudge against the British over the Battle of Copenhagen.
So after all the calculations, in addition to Italy, Yang Feng found that the Netherlands and Portugal were also likely to be involved in the war. Portugal could basically ignore it, but the strength of the Netherlands was still adequate, and if this country joined the Allies
Group. Then the British Army will definitely enter the Netherlands and directly attack the heart of Germany. In this way, the decisive naval battle between Britain and Germany that Yang Feng is most looking forward to may come true.
"Forget it, give it a try and then we'll see, there's nothing to lose!" Thinking of this, he said to Zhang Quan.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor has agreed, Zhang Quan then began to build momentum for China to join the Allied Powers. First, the aircraft transaction that was blocked by the Chinese government some time ago was publicized. In short, the outside world and even the people of his own country felt that the Emperor
Your Majesty and the Chinese government have now begun to lean towards the Allied Powers group, and then the government and Congress will engage in some friendly exchange activities between China and Britain, China and Russia, and China and France. For example, some important members of Congress will visit these three countries, and even arrange
Some people made some remarks accusing Germany and Austria of being too brutal on the battlefield.
This topic is easy to find. Go to London and see the tragic situation after the bombing of this beautiful city. You can directly use it to make an article. Then the reporters exaggerate the coagulation qi used by the Germans on the battlefield.
The cruelty of decoy bombs. In particular, take some photos of Russian soldiers who were burned into dry fried chicken to condemn the Germans from a humanitarian perspective, even though the raw materials for making such weapons are being shipped from China ship after ship.
Germany.
In addition, the cultural sector can also take action. Now there are a lot of well-fed scholars, celebrities, actors and actresses in China. Let these guys out and let them express their feelings about the war in Europe with compassion.
Let the emotions brew for a while, and then at an appropriate time, arrange for a few young people with a sense of justice to throw a rotten egg or a shoe to Haijing on the road, so that the world can see what the Chinese people want.
There is no need to push it further, countries like Britain, France and Russia will take over as if they have found a treasure.
As for how to complete the divine turning point in the future, it is just a trivial matter. It is not easy to fool the people. Just create some accidents, such as a British submarine sinking a Chinese merchant ship, etc., and it is easy to change public opinion at once.
On the other hand, Emperor Yang has many tricks up his sleeve for such trivial matters.
So under the control of a group of conspirators, Duke Li Jingshu, a famous poet who was visiting the UK, a hereditary member of the House of Lords, and heir to the title of Li Hongzhang, wrote in London because he saw the British children injured in the bombing.
A poem that smacked of condemning Germany, Chinese public opinion, which had always been neutral, began to clearly move closer to the Allied Powers.
This kind of unexpected joy gave the three countries of Britain, France and Russia a feeling of pie in the sky. Although this change was a bit too sudden and even a bit unreal, it was undoubtedly a great success for the Allied Powers group that was currently in trouble.
It was a life-saving straw, and the French were the first to react. Because during this period, Germany had been focusing on the Opium War and the burning of the Old Summer Palace in China to smear Britain and France, so the French government announced that it would collect the original Louvre Museum.
During the Opium War, more than 10,000 cultural relics looted by the French army from the Old Summer Palace were returned to China.
As for the rest, it is said that they were lost during the German occupation. This part was rushed out at the beginning, and the French government also sincerely apologized to the Chinese people for burning the Old Summer Palace.
"It's so shameless that the Germans took it away. The Germans didn't take the Palace of Fontainebleau, so why didn't they send the ones there as well?" Emperor Yang despised the French for their pettiness, but since they were like this
Cooperate, and of course you must cooperate in the same way.
So Chinese newspapers immediately began to publicize the friendship between the French people. Following France, the United Kingdom also announced that it would return some cultural relics to China and also expressed its apology. Now Chinese public opinion has become even more vocal about the friendship between China, Britain, and France.
.However, there are many different voices. For example, some newspapers pointed out that the number of Chinese cultural relics in the Louvre is not large. The cultural relics stolen by the French from the Old Summer Palace were mainly in the Fontainebleau Palace, but the Fontainebleau Palace was not.
It was occupied by the German army, so why haven't the French returned the cultural relics from the Palace of Fontainebleau?
It can be seen that the French are just deceiving the kindness of the Chinese people and have no sincerity at all. The Germans are better. They have never invaded China, but Britain, France and Russia are all in China with blood debts, especially France, from opium
From the war to the Vietnam War, China's main enemy has always been France. Kind-hearted Chinese people, don't be fooled by their tricks.
This argument indeed poured cold water on the gradually warming Sino-French relations. For a time, there was an increase in public opinion hostile to France. Some newspapers even publicly advocated that France should join the Allies and then seize the good things that Britain and France took away from China.
Grab them all back.
Under this situation, the French government once again had to explain that it was not that it did not want to return the Chinese cultural relics at Fontainebleau Palace, but that the battlefield was too close to Fontainebleau some time ago, so the French government moved all the cultural relics there.
, is now undergoing a re-inventory. Once the inventory is completed, all the cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace will be returned to China, and France will provide funds to help China rebuild this beautiful garden after the war.
After they expressed their stance like this, the UK would naturally not be left behind. At this time, even the Chinese Congress was preparing to organize a delegation to visit the UK, which indeed allowed them to see the hope of China joining the Allied Powers. Isn't it just some jars and jars? The British are not lacking.
This thing, so the British government also announced that all the Old Summer Palace cultural relics that they had moved from the British Museum due to German bombing would be returned to China, and they also promised to fund the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace after the war.
At this time, the Chinese people finally felt the friendship between the people of Britain and France. The argument for friendship between China, Britain, and France began to heat up again. With some criticism of Germany's brutal performance in the war, there were even voices saying that China should join the Allied Powers to safeguard justice.
All appeared, especially many celebrities, opera stars, and movie stars began to criticize the Germans. Even members of the House of Commons expressed their opinion that China should join the Allied Powers.
After the first batch of returned Old Summer Palace cultural relics were shipped in London and Marseille respectively, this argument quickly increased, and even developed to the point where some members of the House of Lords supported joining the Allied Powers. This made Britain and France even more excited. The newspapers of these two countries
There was almost a roar of cheers, as if China had truly joined the Allied Powers, and the gloom in the British and French skies was instantly wiped away.
In fact, the politicians in Britain and France are not stupid. After all this tossing, in the end, no matter whether China really joins the Allies or not, it will not do any harm to them, because they can also think of what Yang Feng thought of. So they also have to take it.
It is best to publicize this matter desperately to make the whole of Europe believe that China will definitely join the Allied Powers in the end. This way they can boost the morale of the people internally and win over other neutral countries, especially Italy externally.
The British Foreign Secretary who is currently conducting activities in Italy, as the public opinion about China's joining the Allied Powers continues to heat up, the smile on his face has never stopped, and he has become more and more indifferent in negotiations with the Italians, even in his words.
It doesn't matter whether Italy joins the Entente or not.
This made the Italians, who were waiting for the British to offer a higher price, become anxious. Of course, they knew what it would mean to the war situation once China joined the Allied Powers. It could be said that the defeat of Germany and Austria would be a foregone conclusion at that time. Italy's influence on the Allied Powers group
It makes no sense at all. At that time, Britain and France didn't care whether Italy participated in the war. Even China did not need to send troops. Spain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sweden, who were purely European and joined Yang Feng's group, joined the war against Germany and could change the war situation in an instant, even if Italy
Turning to the Allies will not change the result of the Allies' defeat. At that time, let alone the African colonies, they could not even count on what was promised to them now. Places like Dalmatia and Trieste were originally
Of the Ottoman Empire, Hamid II will definitely want to go back.
So the Italians have to make a choice. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
