As the official mouthpiece of Haihan Times, the articles published on it, especially those appearing on the front page, have always been interpreted by public opinion as a bellwether of official attitudes.

This is not conjecture of public opinion, but long-term practical experience. Many times the goals announced in these articles later become reality, and the authority of The Times is gradually formed from this.

Recently, the frequency of Sing Tao appearing in articles published by the Times has become higher and higher. Content related to Sing Tao can be seen in almost every issue of the newspaper. In the latest issue of the Times, the propaganda tone has been even higher than before.

A big chunk.

There are only two reasonable explanations for this phenomenon. One is that Xingdao, uncharacteristically, invested huge resources in publicity and spent money in exchange for newspaper space.

The second possibility is that Sing Tao has received support from high-level officials. In addition to affirming Sing Tao's achievements, the newspaper articles are also building momentum for Sing Tao's development direction. There may be more substantial news in the future.

Support measures.

Anyone who is not blind can basically see the vision for the development direction of Star Island in this recently published article.

It seems to be introducing the development history and customs of Xingdao, but after reading the entire article, only two words appear on the page, and that is "expansion".

Only through external expansion can Xingdao provide its citizens with the jobs and development opportunities listed in the article.

As for how to achieve external expansion, the article does not elaborate on it. Perhaps there is no need to waste words to explain this part, and readers can naturally understand it.

This kind of propaganda is not only high-profile, it can be described as radical.

This service does not refer to diplomatic targets, nor to the people of the country, but to other departments at the same level, such as the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of National Defense, etc. The formulation and implementation of foreign policy and the handling of foreign affairs mostly depend on the capabilities of these departments.

Depends on demand.

Simang said unceremoniously: "As a traditional ally of your country, our country has always attached great importance to diplomatic relations with your country, but I think the content of this article is a serious damage to the good relations between the two countries! I hope Mr. Shi

It can clarify your country's attitude from a diplomat's perspective."

As a result, a unique situation emerged where a diplomatic yamen was co-managed by four responsible persons.

The Portuguese sat in the conference room for a full hour, and Schneider finally arrived late.

People with a slightly better memory can easily connect the development prospects of Sing Tao mentioned in this article with Sing Tao's operation to send troops to the Strait of Malacca in the name of suppressing bandits at the beginning of the year.

If we go by the trend of this article, the three newly occupied islands at the northern end of the Strait of Malacca may be just the beginning of the next expansion.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a relatively special yamen in Haihan. The special thing is that the person in charge of this yamen is not just one person, but several people.

However, Haihan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a service-oriented department, and there is rarely a struggle for power and profit. The four ministers have a clear division of labor, and there will be no situation where they can cover the sky with one hand.

The foreign affairs of Eastern countries are jointly managed by Tao Donglai and Ning Qi. The foreign affairs of Western countries are jointly managed by Gu Kai and Schneider.

After the publication of this issue of the Times, the strongest reaction was of course the Portuguese who were worried about their personal interests being damaged.

Schneider took a glance, nodded and said, "I just finished reading. Do you two want to share your views on this article with me?"

With the qualifications and abilities of these people, it is certainly not a problem to serve as foreign minister alone. However, they all have their own official positions and can only manage foreign affairs in a part-time manner. If one person is too busy, four people will be responsible for part of the work.

.

Schneider waved his hand gently and said: "Mr. Simang, I think you are making a fuss out of a molehill. This is just an article in a newspaper, not an official document published by our country's executive committee. There is absolutely no need for you to put someone's personal information into a molehill."

The idea should be treated as our country’s national policy.”

Simon snorted, obviously not satisfied with Schneider's cryptic reply.

"The emergency is not in our country, but in your country."

Schneider said: "Has this article harmed the interests of your country? Why didn't I see it?"

After Simon said this, he put the newly published issue of Haihan Times on the table and pushed it in front of Schneider.

Ximang said: "This article advocates the westward expansion of Xingdao, but as everyone knows, there are many areas west of Xingdao that are controlled by our country. If your country insists on taking expansion measures, it will inevitably harm our country's interests. To

If there is a conflict at this time, it will not be good for your country."

The two Portuguese people did not make an appointment in advance, so as expected, they found themselves at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. None of the four ministers were on duty. At Simang's insistence, the staff had no choice but to go to the nearest Ministry of Commerce and invite Schneider.

Come and receive them.

Seeing this, Schneider turned to Thomas and asked: "Mr. Thomas, is this what you think?"

Last time a group of people were kidnapped inexplicably and suffered the loss of silence. This time Simang was unwilling to swallow his anger. He roped in Ambassador Thomas and visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haihan together.

"I wonder if you have read this article published in the newspaper?"

"You two are so eager to meet with me. Could it be that there is an emergency in your country?" Schneider asked jokingly after meeting.

The difference between Thomas and Simao is that he has served as ambassador for many years and has dealt with these veteran officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Haihan for much longer than Simao. He knows very well how difficult these high-ranking officials in Haihan are.

He believed that Simang's straightforward way of talking was not suitable for use in diplomatic mediation work. Schneider was not the generals that Simang had dealt with in the past. There were many twists and turns in his intestines. If he was not careful, he might

He will get involved.

But from a national standpoint, Thomas must be in step with Simang, otherwise today's expedition to investigate crimes will only be in vain.

Thomas said: "Mr. Shi, let me be blunt. We believe that the Haihan Times published this article to declare your country's official attitude. In January, your country sent troops to seize the land in the name of combating piracy.

Several islands on the north side of the Strait of Malacca still refuse to evacuate. Now that such articles advocating expansion are published, isn’t this a very dangerous trend?”

Schneider said: "Please allow me to explain that the military action you mentioned in January was an act of the military, and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no right to interfere. And this article published in the Haihan Times, no matter what its intention is,
Chapter completed!
