Controlling and guiding public opinion is what every state machine must do, even the National Government in the flames of war is no exception.

Since the July 7th Incident, the national army has suffered repeated defeats on the front line, and nearly half of the country has fallen into enemy hands.

In particular, the Wuhan Battle of unprecedented scale ended in failure once again. Ordinary people in the country, soldiers of the national army, and senior government officials began to have doubts about whether the war could last to the end.

The whole country is shrouded in the haze of failure, and some people have even begun to plot to betray the country and seek glory.

At this time, the JoongAng Daily published Jiangdong's vision of a prosperous world as a front-page headline.

Published in the newspaper together with the vision of a prosperous age were the stories of the Independence Brigade's resistance war in the Taihang Mountains, as well as the dazzling achievements Jiangdong and the Independence Brigade achieved in Shandong.

In this decadent time, this report by JoongAng Ilbo was like a beam of light or a spark, allowing people across the country to see the hope of victory again.

The newspapers were sold out as soon as they were printed. Such a lively scene could only be compared to the Taierzhuang victory.

After reading the newspapers, many people recalled that the two sensations were caused by the same person and the same team.

Koto!

Northern Anhui Independent Brigade!

"China will not perish!"

"Victory must belong to us!"

Many people held newspapers in their hands and spoke with tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing that the response to this issue of the newspaper was so good, the Central Daily News and the government invested a lot of manpower and material resources to continue printing, and also asked major cities in the rear to report the same content.

From the perspective of the big bosses of the Military Commission, the people trust Jiangdong, and trusting the independent tourism in northern Anhui means trusting them. After all, everyone knows that Jiangdong is a student of the Chairman, and the Independence Brigade is a direct descendant of the Central Army.

Therefore, no one came out to stop the storm of public opinion sweeping the country. Instead, governments at all levels were adding fuel to the flames and reporting on it.

Ordinary people were inspired by the achievements of the Independence Brigade and Jiangdong. They renewed their trust in the government and believed that there would be a day of victory in the War of Resistance.

Unlike ordinary people, scholars, including primary and secondary school teachers, university professors and students, were shocked by the prosperous China described by Jiang Dong.

Scholars have studied culture and history. They know that in the past, China and Xia were countries of etiquette in the world. There were times when all nations came to pay homage and congratulations.

During the prosperous period of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was the place that countless scholars longed for most.

And today, when the nation is suffering from trauma and there is no hope of national rejuvenation, someone once again painted a picture of a prosperous age.

Let them not be shocked or excited!

The students are excited, the teachers are excited, and all the scholars are excited!

In this moment of excitement, their way of expressing their emotions was so simple.

procession!

Scholars used their actions to spread the vision of a prosperous age and national hope to a broader and deeper class.

On that day, the people of Chongqing were united in a rare way.

They followed the footsteps of the scholars and took to the streets, spreading the hope in their hearts and encouraging everyone to defend this 5,000-year-old homeland.

Apart from Chongqing, Kunming has the strongest newspaper sensational effect.

After the war broke out, most of the universities across the country moved here.

Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of passionate young people were detonated by the vision of a prosperous age. They took to the streets and shouted slogans, as if they wanted to shout out their love for this country and nation over and over again.

After that, countless young students walked out of the classroom, traveling in groups, carrying simple luggage and heading north.

Go to Shanxi, fight the Japanese, and shed blood and sacrifice for the rejuvenation of the nation.

Chongqing, United States Embassy.

Feeling the bustle of people outside, two people in the embassy looked solemn, as if they were worried about something.

"Sir Carl, Mr. Gosmer, you must have read the morning newspaper!" Johnson, the U.S. Ambassador to China, said in a relaxed tone,

"It seems that not only the Germans value Jiangdong, but their chairman also seems to value him."

"What secret is hidden in this person?"

Sir Carl, the British Ambassador to China, seemed to be talking to himself or asking questions.

"We must find out the contents of the transaction between Koto and the Germans!"

Gosmer said firmly.

Seeing the nervous expressions of Sir Carl and Gosmer, the U.S. Ambassador Johnson chuckled and poured each of them a glass of wine.

"Don't worry, things haven't reached the point of irreversibility yet!"

"hehe……"

"snort!"

'Easier said than done!'

This is what Sir Carl and Gosmer most want to say to US Ambassador Johnson.

In Europe, the signs of war are already very obvious,

A new world war cannot be avoided no matter what.

Although France spent nearly 30% of its national strength to build the impregnable Maginot Line, French Ambassador Gosmer witnessed the bloody and uncontrollable war with his own eyes. At this moment, he felt that no matter how strong the defense line was, it would be broken one day.

.

'If the Maginot Line is breached...'

Gosmer couldn't imagine what kind of fate France and the country would face by then.

Although there is a strait between Britain and the European continent, Britain and France are already the closest allies, so he still understands the meaning of lip-syncing.

Therefore, the ambassadors of both countries looked solemn, not as relaxed as the American Ambassador Johnson, who was watching from the sidelines.

Jiangdong conducted two transactions with the Germans, and Germany paid a large amount of chips in both transactions.

It was impossible to hide such an operation from spies from various European countries, so the three people in the room also knew about the transaction.

"The Nationalist government actually used Jiangdong to encourage the whole country's determination to resist the war. It is obvious that this major general is not a fancy figure, but one of the few generals in this country who can fight."

Sir Carl's fingers gently traced the wine glass, and he had already recalled Jiangdong's many achievements in his mind.

"He actually dares to contact the Germans privately. I'm afraid he's not a good person!" Gosmer said.

"Haha..." U.S. Ambassador Johnson chuckled.

"Sir, ideas, ideologies and friendship emotions are all false. Interests are the prerequisite for communication."

After hearing this, the two of them cursed in their hearts.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the United States is just waiting for Europe to be smashed before it can force its way in, so that it can take advantage of the situation and compare it with the two historical powers, Britain and France.

"Are you Americans also waiting for the day when your interests will be maximized?"

Sir Carl couldn't help but reply.

"Ahem..."

It is difficult to answer such a question as an ambassador. Jason coughed twice and changed the subject.

"I have decided to send the military attache from the embassy to Shanxi in person. If Jiangdong can offer a price that is in line with the interests of the United States, we will not mind cooperating with it directly!"

Sir Carl and Gosmer looked at each other, and both saw the shock and uneasiness in the other's eyes.

The United States has always been a shameless country, and what Johnson said is likely to become reality.

They have no way of knowing the secrets hidden in Jiang Dong, but it can make the proud Germans lower their heads to make deals. They believe that Jiang Dong has definitely given something crucial.

And something like this is very likely to make Americans fall into it.

Thinking of this, Sir Carl drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up and said:

"I will personally go to Shanxi to see with my own eyes what kind of medicine is sold in Jiangdong Gourd? What the Germans can give me, the Empire on which the sun never sets, can also give me!"

He looked arrogant, spoke firmly, and exuded a little bit of the coercion of old-style imperialism.

In recent years, France has become the little brother of the British. Gosmer followed him and said:

"I will let the military attache from the embassy go with the knight. No matter what the cost, Jiangdong must not be allowed to continue to cooperate with the Germans!"

Jason looked at the two excited old men with some surprise.

He regretted speaking out his thoughts just to show off. It would be great if the Americans could quietly go to Shanxi like the Germans.
Chapter completed!
