Chapter 155 Shocking the World
In 1905 AD, the first year of Huaxing. October.
The front page contents of the main newspapers of the Chinese Empire can be summarized in one sentence:

On October 5, the first and third two armies of the Baikal Front Army of the Russian rear Baikal, and the fourteenth Siberian Army that went south to reinforce the rescue were completely wiped out, and the Chinese army suffered minor losses.
On October 10, the Chinese cavalry cluster that had been rushing forward from Kulun recovered the empty city of trade and the Russian-Russian city opposite. This was the first time that the Chinese army had set foot on Russia's territory in history.
This shocked the Chinese people as strongly as the shock to the Russians.

On October 7, the headquarters of the Chinese Empire released a war report, the main force of the Tibetan rebels was destroyed, the imperial army had recovered Lhasa, and the Supreme Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama jointly issued a telegram at the Tashilunpo Monastery, announcing that the Tibetan religious community supports the government and support unity, severely condemns all rebels, and demands that they surrender to the government immediately and receive severe punishment. All lamas who participated in the rebellion will be expelled from the church.
On October 20, the headquarters of the Chinese Empire issued a war report. Five days ago, the main force of the Xinjiang rebels, the so-called Krekhan army and Yarkand Han army, were completely wiped out in Aksu. The main leaders Abadi Heima, Adil and others were shot dead and killed in the desperate situation, and many people were captured alive. All walks of life in Xinjiang unanimously condemned the rebels for splitting the country, destroying human nature, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, requiring the central government to completely eliminate the remaining bandits and return a bright world in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
In fact, these rebels had been annihilated ten days ago, but the Russian army crossing the border was not clear. They came to "rescue" at the turmoil of the Tsar, trying to eliminate the main force of the Chinese army in one fell swoop. They did not know that all these telegrams were under the close monitoring of the Chinese base camp, and almost every important telegram was placed on Zheng Yu's desk.
On October 16, the headquarters of the Chinese Empire announced that two cavalry divisions and three infantry divisions that crossed the border in southern Xinjiang were subjected to an annihilation blow.
On October 20, the Chinese Empire Base Camp announced that my brave and tenacious Imperial Army had crossed the Alashan Pass and the Turgut Pass and entered the Russian territory. Lin Suren personally waved the banner and directed the troops to cross the border. He took a photo of the US New York Times, and there was another sentence next to it: "The lion awakened."
Zheng Yu's portrait was featured in Time magazine, and the whole of the United States was fascinated by the legend of this oriental youth.
On October 21, the headquarters of the Chinese Empire issued a formal notice that all nations that have been oppressed and unfairly treated by the Russian Empire can seek help from the Chinese Empire, and the imperial government will support their justice in the struggle for national self-determination.

China's series of great victory finally shocked the whole world.
From Fleet Street in London to Madison Square in New York, from cafés in Paris to beer halls in Munich, European and American newspapers report on the incredible magical victory of the country in the East.
While criticizing the corruption of the Tsarist system, political critics made a sound suggestion that it is said that all goods in the Eastern country now must be priced by the government and all production activities are organized by the government. Is such a modern version of Sparta a nightmare for Athenian-style democratic countries?
*The flag bearers of the disaster theory lamented the despicable attacks of the great Russian army, while using the most lyrical and passionate words to inspire the readers' religious enthusiasm and chauvinism, calling on European Christian civilization to unite and eradicate the newly emerging heretic civilization in the East as soon as possible.
Due to this big victory, there was also a dramatic chain reaction in various countries.
France, due to its multi-party democracy tradition, has become a microcosm of this chain reaction.
China's victory triggered the beginning of the French royalist idea. The French royalists pointed out that everything that happened in Asia "fully proved the superiority of the constitutional monarchy", and once again reviewed the glory of France during Napoleon I and the weakness of the Republican era. However, the following royal parties began a melee. The Orleans faction firmly supported Henry Earl of Paris as the orthodox heir to the French crown, while the Bourbon Orthodox faction supported Tang Juan, son of Carlos, of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, the so-called "Let the Three Worlds", the debate turned into a debate on the genealogy, and finally became a slander of the two factions in history, verbalizing and spitting.
This great debate became an active stage for the French right-wing nationalist flag bearer.
Barrez suddenly suggested that what France needs now is a "leader with extraordinary charm and ability as the Eastern emperor" to command France to revenge against Germany.
De Lumon of France's right-wing position "Voice of Freedom" applauded even more, but according to his consistent theory, he believed that the target of revenge was the Jews, not the neighbors in the east. The hard-core anti-Semitic pioneer firmly pointed out that "Chinese nationalism has too many similarities with French nationalism. They are both melting pots of different races and have an open and rational culture. However, the victory of the Chinese lies in the fact that they unified the Jews in remote areas and treated them like foreigners." Based on this, he proposed that "the Chinese method is worthy of reference in France", and "only these greedy Jews who are incompatible with the mainstream French culture can purify the French nation." He further pointed out that "North Africa, from a climate and environment perspective, is very similar to Palestine, the hometown of the Jews, and this is simply the destination given to the French Jews by God."
In this debate, the most eye-catching "rookie" was Moras who formed "Operation France" six years ago. This new generation of right-wing generals was not only a propagandist, but also an actionist. They directly established the political organizations "Operation France Alliance" and "Operation France Association", and publicly incited to demand the restoration of the monarchy.
The new right-wing soul wrote passionately in the newspaper: "... In 1870, French politicians were busy overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a republic. At that time, we were severely damaged by the Prussians, and the Germans established the German Empire on the corpse of the French Empire; and at that time, the Chinese were still weak."
"But a few years later, the Oriental Napoleon severely damaged France twice on the Indochina Peninsula, annihilated our fleets, and captured our expeditionary forces. More than a decade later, they established the empire, and now they defeated Japan and Russia. And the Third French Republic, yes, our only achievement was to change dozens of cabinets. France was quarreling in the Central Plains, while the Chinese just did it, and they never argued."
"...Yes, we were also just under the command of the great Emperor Napoleon. The French only spoke with cannons and used the Code to make decisions."
The monarchy's fanatical support clearly stated that the pillars of the French nation are the army and the church, and republicans are dismantling these two pillars, "Only the royal government can save France's soul."
This new generation of French right-wing giant even took the lead in organizing his party members on the Champs-Elysees in Paris, put on the costumes of the old guards of Napoleon, sang "Marseille" and put on the slogan "Napoleon rather than Tier"
In contrast, there was a great split within France's left wing dominated by the United Socialist Party at this moment. Gede and Jaules demanded the reorganization of the republican government to launch revenge on Germany, while the "National Federation of Trade Unions" led by Elvey insisted on opposing national revenge, believing that the most important issue at present is "resolving the class struggle."
There were also many generals in the French army, which had always yearned for strong people's politics and royal systems. As early as 1886-1887, the fanatical nationalist Brownge served as the Minister of the French Army, advocating the unity of the royalists and the left to establish the rule of military strongmen and restore Napoleon's glory. Although Brownge was wanted for direct organization and subverting the government, and finally committed suicide, his followers were everywhere in the French army, and the government could only turn a blind eye.
With their traditional loud voices and boastful talk, the French raised the meaning of this Eastern war to the level of the state system, and made the Germans who were silently watching these Gauls once again sigh at the rich imagination of these neighbors and their obsession with debate.
The British political circles have once again experienced debate due to this victory.
The pro-Russian faction expressed concerns about the overly powerful of this Eastern ally. Such a big guy, unified under the will of a young military strongman and the emperor, and fanatically incited nationalism. The future direction of Asia and the entire East has been cast into shadow.
The anti-Russians applauded the victory of the Chinese, believing that this fully demonstrated the victory of the imperial foreign policy. As for whether this country will be out of control? Through government bond purchases and loans, the British Empire's control over this country will also reach a new peak with this war. At least in the visible future, this is still a Doberman Empire that is too strong, roaring from time to time, but always locked in East Asia by iron chains. Of course, it is necessary to "relax the chains and provide some better things after the war."
But the troubles of the British followed one after another.
India, the crown jewel of the British Empire, is beginning to mutate something dangerous.
With the gradual penetration of European culture, Indian middle and upper-class intellectuals went to Europe to study and travel more and more. Especially with the rise of the colonial autonomy movement within the British Empire, the rise of the national liberation movement with Mazinni's thought of national self-determination as the core in Europe, and India also began a new round of commotion.
In another time and space, from 1905 to 1906, India launched a massive anti-British independence movement. In this time and space, the dramatic victory of the Chinese Empire greatly stimulated the emotions of Indian nationalists, and made many people have the idea of "unification of China and anti-British".
The moderates and extremists of the National Assembly Party took immediate action.
The moderate, led by Rajiv Gandhi, contacted MPs and prepared to propose to the colonial authorities to expand autonomy and obtain the same treatment as Canada's dominance, and plans to promote the "non-violent non-cooperation movement". The person also publicly announced that he would visit China to "exchange with all sectors of neighboring countries on Asian culture."
The extremists, led by Tirak, went more radically. Tirak directly sent his confidants to China to secretly discuss plans to help the Indian nation fight the British independence. India's secret envoy bluntly proposed to the secret representatives of China that "the future Hindustan countries are willing to form an iron and steel alliance with China" and even proposed that "it is acceptable that China enjoys certain economic privileges in Hindustan." These Indians even further proposed that "it is willing to use Hindustan's mineral exploration rights and tariffs as collateral to borrow money from China to purchase Chinese-made weapons, and entrust China to train Indian national armed forces on their behalf."
Quietly, the Indian newspaper industry began to talk about China intentionally or unintentionally, about Asian history, and about the origins of religion and culture. The praises that originally had one-sided praise for the colonists began to quietly turn towards "Asianism", and an undercurrent that was inexplicably surging began to surge in Indian society.
In Germany, German Emperor William II expressed regret for the war in the East in public and once again called on the two countries to negotiate with a frank attitude and "handle the dispute fairly and reasonably." But in private, the emperor had conveyed through diplomatic envoys that after the war, the diplomatic relations between the two countries were elevated to ambassador level, and even discussed related matters about the political and military alliance.
The German military observation group represented by Prince Heinrich has long observed a series of onshore and maritime operations in China, and has also inspected a large number of active-service land and sea equipment under the intentional arrangement of China, and submitted "exciting" reports to Berlin.
These professional soldiers highly praised the organizational strength, morale, tactics and equipment of the Chinese army, and even believed that the overall combat power of this army had "more than European counterparts", and more importantly, "they have almost endless human resources". For various equipment made in China, although they believed that "they still seem rough in process processing" and "there are no shortage of imitation in structure, especially with too many disgusting British and French flavors", they almost said in unison that "many things are exactly what Germany needs". As long as Germany has these new concepts of Chinese weapons, "Germany defeated France again with a lightning-thrust right hook punch" is almost a "confirm".
The Chinese high-speed warships with high speed, fierce firepower and strong armor, especially the "battle cruisers" with a speed of up to 27 knots, made the German Navy even more intoxicated. After receiving the observation report, German Navy Marshal Tilbitz was so happy that he "danced" and immediately went to pay homage to the German Emperor, almost unable to wait to ask to "eat them all".
After listening to Tilbitz's report, William II realized almost immediately that this was an excellent weapon to deter Britain's maritime power and put pressure on Britain. This British-German mixed-race boy who had been extremely angry with Britain all his life almost roared and ordered "Immediately buy the yellow-skinned warships on the ship platform and even the drawings." "This is what Germany needs."
Within the German army, the anti-Russian faction was greatly boosted, and the pro-Russian faction also began to connect. In the eyes of the anti-Russian faction, Russia's corruption and depravity have been fully exposed, allowing such a corrupt regime to occupy the vast and fertile land of Eastern Europe and occupy so many resources and populations, which is unbearable for Germany.
The pro-Russian faction believes that now is the time to give Russia help to completely pull the country onto the German chariot. With Russia's joining, Germany will have no worries in the future British-German collision. It can concentrate on first cutting off France, integrating European power, and then attacking Britain's soft Asian-African colonial areas.
Within the German military and political circles, the collision between the two voices almost became a semi-public debate.
In the United States, the favorable and even obsessed with neighbors in the Western Pacific has reached an unprecedented peak.
China's victory triggered a new round of China's fever in the United States.
When the news of victory spread with the newspapers, spontaneous parades appeared in Times Square in New York. People of all colors gathered together, Chinese shouted "Long live the empire", "Long live the Chinese nation", Jews burned the Tsarist Russian flag and the portrait of Nicholas II, Irish people pulled the banner "The Chinese people return to the Chinese, the Irish people return to the Irish, today is the Far East, tomorrow is Belfast", and blacks held signs "People of color are not inferior people, we must pay equal work", and all skin colors complement each other, and each face was filled with joy and expectation.
Harvard University turned into a carnival on the day the news of victory, with excited students setting off fireworks at night and hosting a masquerade party titled “Celebrating the Western Pacific Free from the Slavery of the Imperial Tsar.”
