However, compared with the clear attitudes of Britain, France and Russia, the positions of the United States and Germany are much more neutral. Both countries expressed their concerns about the further complicating the situation in the Far East and the expansion of war, and called on the international community to organize to control the war and continue to expand. They also required all parties participating in the war to negotiate, resolve the interests of all parties, stop the war, and restore peace. Moreover, both the United States and Germany also expressed their willingness to be mediators, of course, the premise is that all parties have the will to be peace.

This is because the United States and Germany have limited influence in the Far East and do not have much conflict of interest with the three parties participating in the war. Although they have certain tendencies, such as the United States secretly supports Japan, and Germany has had close military cooperation with the East China government in recent years. At the same time, it also hopes that the situation in the Far East will be as chaotic as possible, so it is more inclined to the East China government. However, the two countries do not want to offend the other party because of favoring one party, so they are happy to stand at the moral high point and say some beautiful words. Anyway, these words will not be wrong.

However, the media of the two countries showed obvious differences. Although the American media did not respond fiercely like Britain and France, they also clearly accused the East China government of not participating in the war at this time. This is because although the United States did not have great influence in the Far East, it had great commercial interests. The United States secretly supported Japan in addition to safeguarding its commercial interests in the Far East, it also hoped to curb Russia's expansion and expand its commercial interests in Northeast China. Originally, before the East China government participated in the war, everyone could see that the Russo-Japanese War had almost been fought, and no matter what the final result was, Russia was unable to expand in the Far East anymore. Therefore, many American consortiums and enterprises were aiming at Northeast China, such as the railway king Stephenson, who had planned to invest in the construction of railways in Northeast China. However, the participation of the East China government in the war expanded the war and continued infinitely. The US investment became far away, so of course it would not be happy.

The German media are more objective. On the one hand, the East China government and Germany have maintained good relations in recent years. On the other hand, Germany and Japan and Russia have not had a good relationship. Moreover, Germany has not even much economic benefits in the Far East. Many of the Navy Fleets of the East China government are built by Germany, or Germany provides technology, materials and accessories to help the East China government build. This is also the focus of German media reports, and it is believed that these German warships helped the People's Army Navy win the Battle of the Mahayana.

During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Beiyang Navy, with the German ship as the main force, was defeated by the combined fleet with the British ship as the main force, which naturally made Germany lose face. However, this time, the People's Army Navy's newly built warships almost all had German bloodlines, and the complete victory was still the combined fleet with the British ship as the main force, which was also considered a breath for the German shipbuilding industry. In fact, until now, the East China government, Japan, and Russia have not announced the details of the Battle of the Mas, so people have no way of knowing how much role the German-built warships played in this war. In addition, although these warships were built by Germany, the design of the warships was completed by the East China government itself. Germany only constructed according to the map. Strictly speaking, they can only be considered German-built warships rather than German-based warships. However, the German media did not mention it.

Of course, in addition to these major powers, other countries have also issued statements to express their own attitudes. However, most of them are accusing the East China government in terms of words, but they are not very fierce. However, these countries are basically full of soy sauces, and they can only be spectators in this game, or touch a few fish while they are mixed.

However, the propaganda machine of the East China government is not idle, and the public opinion position must be occupied. Therefore, from May 13, the East China government will either promote its own opinions through government statements or in the form of newspapers, books and other media.

The propaganda of the East China government is divided into two parts. One is to report the process of the war, and of course it is mainly based on the victory of the People's Army. It constantly boosts the morale of the people and its confidence in the East China government. After all, when fighting, it depends on the performance on the battlefield. The other is to promote the legitimacy and necessity of the East China government's participation in the war in the form of editorials, comments, etc.

The propaganda caliber was firmly carried out. First, Japan and Russia were fighting on China's territory. Therefore, for China, both countries were invaders. The East China government's participation in the war was to defend the country and resist aggression. It was used to be reasonable at any time. Second, while Japan and Russia were fighting on China's territory, the Qing court, as the legal government of China, did not take any measures to prevent or safeguard its own rights and interests. Instead, it was completely laissez-free and even put forward the banner of neutrality and completely ignored the interests of the country and the people. It was when the Qing court was completely inaction that the East China government decided to send troops to participate in the war, safeguard national interests and defend the people of the Northeast, and this was to defend the legitimacy of the East China government's participation in the war.

In fact, when the East China government just joined the war, there were still many voices opposing the government and opposition in China, believing that the behavior of the East China government was a provocation of Japan and Russia for no reason, and it might affect China. Among the opponents were court officials, well-known scholars and celebrities from the people. Of course, some of them were really worried that the East China government would anger Japan and Russia and bring disaster to China. After all, in the past 60 years, China's foreign war has almost never won, although

Five years ago, the arrival of the time traveler saved China from the humiliation of the Gengzi, but it was not a complete victory after all. Both sides were actually mutually accompanies each other, and those who understand clearly knew that when the Gengzi State changed, none of the countries had enough strength, and only tens of thousands of troops were dispatched. This time, both Japan and Russia dispatched their full strength. The total number of troops invested by both sides in Liaodong was nearly one million, which was far from comparable to the Eight-Nation Alliance five years ago. Therefore, once the two countries were angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Some people took advantage of the situation. They were originally defenders of the Qing court or victims of the East China government, and naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction with the East China government. However, in the past, the East China government had always occupied the moral high point and could not find any strong reasons. They could only accuse the East China government of being a traitor and despise the court. However, the authority of the Qing court has fallen to the bottom. Such remarks have not aroused the interest of many people, and now they are taking this opportunity to desperately attack the East China government.

However, under the strong propaganda of the East China government, it quickly won the support of the vast majority of public opinion. On the one hand, the People's Army continued to win in the war, after all, victory was the most inspiring. On the other hand, the East China government also grasped the victim mentality of the Chinese people since modern times, played the nationalist card, focusing on defending the country and protecting the people. In addition, the East China government has always shown its notarization, civilization, integrity and efficiency, which naturally makes it easier to win the approval of the majority of the people. Although there were a few voices opposing the attack on the East China government at this time, it no longer caused much reaction.

Of course, the propaganda of the East China government is basically based on the domestic market, and at most it only has a certain influence in Southeast Asia. In European and American countries, these statements of the East China government cannot be seen. In Germany, the United States and the East China government offices can publish articles in local newspapers to express their attitudes, but in Britain, France and other countries, there is no information from the East China government, including the government's speeches, and the media has not reported them.

In addition, the East China government does not intend to win public opinion in foreign countries. On the one hand, European and American countries have great prejudice against China. It is impossible to make public opinion in Europe and the United States have a positive reaction to China. On the other hand, the East China government has a very limited influence on European and American countries. Therefore, at this time, it is more realistic to first win the support of domestic public opinion, and it also has substantial help to the East China government to participate in the war. After all, European and American countries are too far away. Even if these countries demonize China and demonize the East China government, it will not have much significance for the war.

But the most embarrassing thing at this time was the Qing court. Although the East China government has not had the time to deal with the responsibility that the Qing court should bear during the Shanghai terrorist attack, it did not forget to smear the Qing court during the publicity. In fact, there was no need for the East China government to deliberately smear. The Qing court itself had too many complaints, and it could be found a few to play.

When the Russo-Japanese War began, the East China government launched a wave of public opinion offensive to attack the neutral behavior of the Qing court. However, the East China government did not participate in the war at that time, but only shouted a few words. Therefore, many people defended the Qing court, and this wave of public opinion offensive ended without long lasting. Now the East China government has officially participated in the war and has won consecutive victories on the battlefield. The East China government will naturally not forget in its propaganda, and will use the Qing court as its foil to better show the tall and glorious image of the East China government.

During this period, there were also various voices within the Qing court. Some people suggested that the Qing court immediately commend the East China government, and grant the main personnel of the East China government as official positions, and symbolically distribute some money, grain and materials, and even send a small number of troops to fight with the People's Army. This would not only make the East China government's participation in the war legitimate, but the Qing court could also occupy a big position. If the East China government wins in the future, the Qing court can also make a contribution; and if the East China government loses, the responsibility can be put on the East China government.

However, this suggestion was immediately opposed. The East China government, Russia, and Japan were not easy to fool. The Qing court wanted to play a balance between the three parties and play the best of both the left and right. If there was such a good thing, don't cause trouble then.
