Yang Sen said: "There is no general rule for the number of people singing. Theoretically, more than two people are called choruses, and thousands of people are also called sings. If the size of the stage is not determined, I cannot accurately give the number of people needed. But generally speaking, at least more than 10 people are required for choruses."

Wang Jun thought about it and said, "You should be very clear about the conditions of this era. It is unlikely that there will be places like the grand theaters in the old time and space. It is probably the same as the conditions of the Lishunde Hotel. If such a chorus concert was held in the Lishunde Hotel, how many people would you need?"

Yang Sen also thought about it seriously and said, "I think it can be confirmed like this. Men and women choose about 30 people, and 20-30 people each. This way of expression can be diverse and can be combined in different combinations. The total number of people can be more than 10 people. If the stage is big enough, you can play together. This momentum is probably enough. If the stage is small, you can temporarily combine to match, reduce the number of people appearing, and take turns to play."

Zhang Yang said: "It's easy to deal with sir, but there are not many children among us. I'm afraid we can't get together 5 or 60 children."

Yang Sen said: "It doesn't have to be found among our time travelers. Don't we have a Hope School? The Hope School has about 1,000 students, and they are also the next generation we train. It's no problem to pick 5 or 60 children from it. There are two people in my band who teach part-time in Hope Primary School. They say that there are still some good seedlings. Of course, the priority is to choose from the time travelers. And the lead singer, solo, and accompanying dance can be completed by them. Local children just cooperate with them."

Wang Jun nodded. Yang Sen's speech was not logical and organized, but it was still beneficial in terms of professionalism. Moreover, he had a good grasp of the overall situation. He hoped that the students in the school were indeed the next generation that the Time Travel Group focused on training, but the most priority of time travelers is still the biggest political correct principle of the Time Travel Group. Therefore, of course, they first chose the time travel children, and the leading singer, solo, and accompanying dance and other careers that show off their faces should naturally be distributed to the time travel children. It seems that Yang Sen's mind is still clear, and it has the value of cultivation and support.

So Wang Jun said, "Let me do this, I will determine the stage matters as soon as possible. The candidates for the performance will be decided according to Yang Sen's suggestion. The three of you will come up with a complete plan as soon as possible. I will submit it to the Executive Committee for deliberation. I will have any other questions."

Yang Sen hurriedly said: "Also, we must also find the other two bands on the passenger boat as soon as possible. Such an important thing cannot be done by relying on one of our bands. We must gather everyone's strength."

Wang Jun said: "Okay, I'll do it right away?" At the same time, he thought to himself, just take this opportunity to bring all three bands to the top, because they should be under the management of the top, and they also took the opportunity to expand the top staff. As the work of the top in the future increases, corresponding personnel will definitely be needed. Although there are still a large number of idle personnel in the Time Travel Group, after the Time Travel Group fully controls Shandong, all departments will need a large number of middle and lower-level managers. At that time, the competition for human resources among various departments will be very fierce, so it is entirely necessary for them to make arrangements in advance.

"We express solemn protests against British newspapers for their wanton defamation, slandering our reports, comments, and demand that the British government take effective measures to stop the wrong behavior of your newspapers, apologize to us publicly and restore our reputation."

Huo Bilan shook his head, stood up and took over the protest statement submitted by Li Sanjie, and said: "Li Xianxian, our British Empire is a free and democratic country. Ren He personally and the media have the right to express their opinions. Therefore, even if the British government is determined, it cannot interfere with the content of the newspaper. We cannot meet your requirements."

Li Sanjie said: "Mr. Consul means that he won't care about this matter anymore?"

Huo Bilan said: "Li Shengxian, I'm very sorry, we are really powerless about this."

Li Sanjie said: "Well, since that's the case, we will consider termination of this negotiation, and all the consequences arising from it will be the responsibility of the British side."

Huo Bilan was shocked when he heard this. He naturally knew about the public opinion storm against overseas Chinese, and also knew that British newspapers also participated in the public opinion storm. However, Huo Bilan didn't care. First, theoretically speaking, the consulate is just a diplomatic institution and does not have the right to ask the newspaper to do what? Secondly, this situation is very common in the UK and even in Europe, and the origin of overseas Chinese is already full of mystery, so it would be strange if they were not taken out and copied.

However, the reaction of overseas Chinese was somewhat beyond Huo Bilan's expectations. Li Sanjie actually brought his entourage to the British consulate and formally protested to the British side. He threatened to end this negotiation. Huo Bilan could not underestimate it. It was not in the interests of the UK to terminate the negotiation. Because if the negotiation fails for a day, China's war status will not be terminated for a day, and Britain's commercial interests in China will be imaged. Although Huo Bilan cannot determine whether what Li Sanjie said is really or intentionally exaggerated, but he dares to take this risk. Judging from the previous dealings with overseas Chinese, this group of people really dares to do anything.

So Huo Bilan hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, please consider this negotiation seriously and do not make a decision rashly. If the negotiation is really terminated, it is not in the interests of both of us. Our consulate is indeed powerless about newspaper reports, but we can guarantee that this does not represent the attitude of our British government." After a pause, Huo Bilan said, "If you must pursue it, I can suggest that you go to the Public Concession Court to control the newspaper's infringement of your reputation, or to submit articles in other newspapers to respond, what is a rebuttal."

Li Sanjie said: "Well, since the UK is unwilling to stop the spread of this kind of rumor, we will definitely take countermeasures. As for the countermeasures, we will depend on the situation. The consul responds first, and we will truthfully report to Tianjin. Whether to terminate this negotiation will be decided by the Executive Committee. I believe there will be a clear reply soon."

After sending Li Sanjie and his entourage away, Huo Bilan also breathed a long sigh. In fact, with his keen sense of diplomats, he had long realized that behind this public opinion storm, there must be someone who was manipulating and promoting it. At present, it is naturally targeting overseas Chinese, not only alienating the relationship between overseas Chinese and the Qing court, but also alienating the relationship between overseas Chinese and the entire China.

Although Huo Bilan didn't know who was doing this, if someone could make things difficult for overseas Chinese, Huo Bilan was still very happy and did not send someone to investigate. However, if this matter affected this Shanghai negotiation, it would be bad. Could it be that someone deliberately wanted to use this to promote the negotiations between overseas Chinese and various countries? Therefore, Huo Bilan was also considering it. It seems that it is necessary to send someone to investigate. Who was manipulating this public opinion storm? In addition, hello to several British newspapers and don't copy this matter again.

Although Huo Bilan spoke highly of Li Sanjie, whether it was freedom and democracy, or that it was impossible to interfere with the content of newspapers, Huo Bilan knew very well that absolute freedom of the press did not exist. Even if it was a Britain that was proclaiming freedom and democracy, the government could also interfere with the news and newspaper reports when necessary.

After leaving the British consulate, Li Sanjie visited the French consulate and the US consulate, protesting to the other side, and the responses received were similar. French consulate Bai Zaotai and US consulate Guna both said that the newspaper reports did not represent the attitude of the two governments, but neither government could interfere with the media's freedom of the press. At the same time, they were very nervous about Li Sanjie's threat to terminate the negotiations. They repeatedly hoped that overseas Chinese could seriously consider it.

Only Britain, the United States and France in the Shanghai Concession opened newspapers. Therefore, after visiting the consulates of the Three Kingdoms, Li Sanjie returned to the Shanghai office with his entourage. On the carriage, Jiang Shiwei said: "Minister Li, thank you for your hard work, I let you go to three consulates in a row."

Li Sanjie hurriedly said, "There are all people there, and this is also for our own interests. To be honest, I have been very worried these two days, for fear that someone will come to the office to cause trouble. Only when you arrive will I have a clear idea."

It turns out that the Ministry of Security attaches great importance to the public opinion storm in Shanghai this time, because this battlefield without gunpowder is often more terrifying than the real battlefield. After all, if it is on the real battlefield, time travelers can still gain a certain advantage by relying on the advantage of technical generation differences. However, in this kind of intelligence and public opinion battlefield, time travel groups do not have any technical advantages. Both sides are basically on the same starting line. Time travelers have only more experience advantages of 10 years, while countries are leading in national strength, voice and influence. It can be said that each has its own advantages.

This time was the first intelligence and public opinion war for the Time Travel Group in this era, and it was also the first important test after the establishment of the Ministry of Security. Therefore, the Ministry of Security did not dare to underestimate it. Finally, it decided to send Deputy Minister Jiang Shiwei to lead the team himself, bringing six staff members of the Ministry of Security, and a squadron of special forces soldiers, with 20 people to cooperate with the Ministry of Security's operations.
