Chapter 1047 To increase the intensity of public opinion
"The buildings in Honolulu are stronger than those of the Japanese wooden buildings, which have greatly affected our firepower. [...] Of course, these are not the main ones. The most important thing is that our enemy is American civilians, which makes the soldiers have some concerns when attacking!" Fan Zhong focused on the words in the following sentence.
"Concern?" Meng Xiang heard it and frowned, "Our government does not seem to promote the idea of foreign masters being the first-class?"
After the pioneer military government came to power, it vigorously promoted the idea of reviving China, inspiring the atmosphere of the great power of the Han and Tang dynasties, and was extremely tough in diplomacy. Foreigners in China could do business, but it was impossible to enjoy privileges.
"The human heart is the most difficult to transform." Tang Yaoshi said calmly.
Meng Xiang understood Lao Tang's statement that China in this era was deeply influenced by foreigners, and the idea of advocating foreign countries was even more rampant than in later generations. The influence of a century was not so easy to change. Moreover, the banner of social public opinion was still controlled by those scholars who were well educated in the West.
Before, whether it was dealing with the Japanese or the Soviet Union, the people were deeply affected. Even the elites were also affected by the greed fight between the Russians and the Japanese, so they hated the Soviet Union and Japan. When dealing with the Japanese and Russians, the Chinese army did not need to mobilize them at all. Not only did they deal with the soldiers on the battlefield, but they could still attack those civilians.
However, for British and Americans, especially Americans who do not bully much on China on the surface, many people have not high hatred.
Especially those elites who have received profound education in Western civilization are still actively supportive of China's domination of Asia, but they have complaints about the expedition to attack the United States.
Even though many of them are forward-looking people in various industries in this era, they do not know the many grievances between the United States and China in later generations. Many of them are unable to adapt because China has reached the top too quickly, thus ignoring the future competition for world interests between China and the United States.
In the future, if China wants to be ranked among the world hegemons along with Britain, the United States and Germany, it is already the goal of many people to strive for throughout their lives, let alone defeat all their opponents and dream of global dominance.
This is mainly because China has changed too quickly, which makes it impossible for most people to adapt.
You should know that the Pioneer Army has only been around for more than seven years, and the Pioneer Military Government has been in power for only two or three years. A new generation with confidence in the rejuvenation of China is still growing, while the mainstream elites are still those affected by the past. Even if there is still a large group of passionate young people, even if Meng Xiang has half of the cloned soldiers in his hands and checked and balanced the various classes of society, it is hard to say that he will change the atmosphere of the entire society at once.
China has changed very quickly over the years. But its foundation is too thin. Even if the total industrial volume has ranked among the top five in the world, once it is distributed to the vast land, it is a little worse than the industrial prosperity of Europe and the United States.
Many elites do not understand the total level of China, but can compare it with the United States based on the changes around them. Without understanding the existence of the base, the war machine, they can still draw conclusions that they cannot match the United States.
Through Meng Xiang's control over the years, they also recognized the war against the United States, drove the United States out of Asia, and completely turned Asia into China's Asia. They even agreed with the practice of fishing in the chaotic European waters, but they strongly opposed the occupation of American territory.
"Many people are still counting on peace talks with the United States!" Old Tang had thought Meng Xiang would reveal.
Repel Americans in the Asian region. Bringing Americans to the negotiating table is their expectation.
In fact, even Lao Tang himself had this idea in his mind. It was already the greatest expectation in Lao Tang that he could finally gain a three-legged position with the United States and Germany.
It can be said that in addition to Meng Xiang, who knows that he has a base, others, including Fan Tian, who knows the best background of the Chinese military, even if he thinks of competing for hegemony with the United States, he does not expect to fight to the doorstep of the United States and force the Americans to surrender.
War will always end, and peace talks will surely come.
"They were also partially influenced by you!" Old Tang did not forget to hold Meng Xiang's banner.
"When did I say that I would negotiate with the Americans?" Meng Xiang said in surprise. If I didn't take advantage of this time to create a future, Meng Xiang felt sorry for the base in her hand, so why would she be busy with the peace talks?
"Didn't you instruct the Americans to treat prisoners preferentially? It's not like this for the Japanese and Soviets. This is not a very obvious sign of peace talks in the future!" Old Tang said with a smile.
Meng Xiang was speechless. He was influenced by some influences in the Korean War in later generations and believed that he shouted this slogan of preferential treatment of prisoners. It would disrupt the stubbornness of the American soldiers and could exchange the smallest casualties and costs for the greatest victory.
The facts also played a significant role. The American soldiers are not like the Japanese and Soviets who have been brainwashed and never surrendered. They value their own safety. In addition, the Chinese army occasionally shouts a few words to keep their guns and not kill them. They treat prisoners preferentially, but instead make those recruits who have joined the army in a hurry due to the rapid expansion of the US military often erect white flags to the Chinese army.
Even in the Battle of Hawaii, 20,000 US troops had surrendered, but the civilians were particularly stubborn in resisting.
"They took the wrong medicine and wanted to selflessly contribute their lives to the national property of the United States?" Lian Mengxiang was also a little surprised at first.
"They are not fighting for the country, they are fighting for the safety of their private property and their families!" Zhou Bai finally explained.
After the war between the United States and China began, the public opinion on China in the United States was causing great concerns about China and suppressing hostile relations, which made China demonized?
To be honest, Americans are definitely not as invested in public opinion as Meng Xiang.
However, Meng Xiang's vigorous publicity in China must first eliminate the difficulties of the people in deifying the bad roots of foreigners. Westerners have looked down on the Chinese, with barbaric, ignorant and backward words on their heads, and demonizing them is easy. Moreover, the matters of China's war against Japan, the Soviet Union and Russia, as well as in Southeast Asia and Australia also gave American media the theme of demonization.
Even though Meng Xiang's defense of the media shadow company, the killing of all kinds of bad words such as the slaughter of the U.S. government and the bigwigs were still instilled in the ears of the American people. The Germans who were white, were more willing to believe in the brutality of China?
Some veterans in Hawaii at least had heard of some things about China's preferential treatment of prisoners, which led to the Battle of Hawaii and many American troops surrendered.
Even in the primary school campus, there are comics that demonize China, and the impression of China is extremely bad in civil society.
"They will snatch all your property, burn your house and garden, and lock all men, including boys, into concentration camps. They will slaughter them all as high as the tires of the car. Your wife and daughter are snatched from comfort women, crying and moaning naked under the yellow monkeys!" Such rumors often appear in the United States, and with some pictures from Japan, Siberia and the Far East, as well as records of the Mongolian Yellow Peril that were drawn from the old paper piles, more and more Americans are in panic.
Hawaii, which has experienced a tragic lesson in the Japanese diaspora riots, has learned a tragic lesson. For this reason, they have strengthened their own protection, purchased more guns and weapons, and strengthened their houses. This time, they also actively participated in street fighting in towns such as Honolulu.
Weiguo is not enthusiastic, but when it comes to his family and private property, everyone chooses to stand firm and hopes to persist in the national army and protect their homes like the last Japanese expatriate riot.
Although groups of civilians were rabble, they played guns since childhood and fought street battles in the streets and houses they knew, taking advantage of the time and place. The Chinese army was merciless in quickly capturing those key facilities, but they hesitated when dealing with civilians in Jing'an. This made the street battles continue to sound in the main towns of Hawaii.
"I understand!" Meng Xiang nodded, and after pondering for a long time, he listed a few instructions.
"The preferential treatment of prisoners remains unchanged. We have not had much time left. We can use the shortest time to dismantle the enemy's fighting spirit. We cannot lose the advantage of propaganda and public opinion on the battlefield." Meng Xiang said.
The month of 1945 is coming, and even Meng Xiang doesn't know what unexpected changes will happen. He hopes to gain an advantage over Europe and the United States as soon as possible. If more than 10 million US troops are forced to fight desperately, even if there is a base support, China may suffer a lot.
"The next step is to increase public opinion propaganda on civilians in the United States. Even if we are demonized, we must let Americans know that we follow the sacred and inviolable laws of private property. We do not want more than 100 million Americans to pick up guns to fight us." Meng Xiang continued.
Private property is sacred and inviolable, and is the foundation of Western rules. Even in China, Meng Xiang laid the foundation of the constitution with this as a criterion and did not want disorderly behaviors in Japan and the Soviet Union to affect the country.
As long as this is recognized and the private property and personal safety of the occupied land can be protected, various compromises will occur one after another in the Western world, and no one will be foolishly trying.
"Don't worry about Hawaii, just treat it as a typical example of us manipulating another order!" Meng Xiang instructed, but felt a little disdainful in his heart: "It's just that he has changed to another game rule, and there is still a way to deal with those Americans."
