After solving the current troubles, Li Fushou walked to the remote part of Xianju Hall, and took the elevator to the top floor from here and came out of the elevator. The top floor was a circular study room, surrounded by golden nanmu bookcases, which were more than 4 meters high. In addition to precious books, there were countless jade arts, antique calligraphy and paintings, and ancient rare books. The collection was of amazing value.

Li Fushou did not stop here, but walked forward to open a door. It was a balcony only a few meters in size, and a magnificent view appeared in front of him.

The tower where he is located is one of the nine towers, one of the main and eight deputy heads of the Dream Castle, and is on the side of the Red River Valley.

From here, you can see the majestic and magnificent city scenery, and you can see the towering buildings of the city spread out densely, extending to the end of the horizon from the sight, which is thrillingly beautiful.

The tall Victory Tower rushed straight to the sky. After more than three years of hard construction, the Victory Gate in the distance has initially shown its majestic figure, which is particularly spectacular.

Along the city's central axis, Triumph Avenue (formerly Central Avenue), there are many high-rise buildings with different styles, giving the city infinite charm.

Today, the Red River Valley metropolitan population exceeds 1.33 million, ranking sixth in the world city rankings, second only to London, Peking, New York, Guangzhou and Paris, St. Petersburg ranks seventh, and Brisbane ranks eighth with a population of 1.12 million.

Whenever Li Fushou felt depressed and unresolved, he would climb up to look far away. Looking at the magnificent figure of this metropolis he created, he would lose all his worries.

My family knows his own affairs.

Li Fushou knew that he was originally a mean talent, but with his rebirth of golden fingers, he controlled every opportunity and stepped on the pulse of history to reach today and create a new era for Chinese in Australia.

He was not able to carry 400 million compatriots on his shoulders, which was far beyond his ability.

The suffering China must be reborn in the ashes before it can stand proudly among the powerful people of the world and shine with dazzling brilliance.

Now at the peak of the world's political arena, the information I have seen and exposed is extremely rich, allowing Li Fushou to feel the huge shadow lurking under the sea, knowing that the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 is not as simple as it seems, but a historical necessity.

On July 25, 1894 (June 23rd of the Jiawu year of the lunar calendar), the Fusang Kingdom undeclared war.

On the sea surface of Toyoshima, North Korea, the Qing warship "Jiyuan" and "Guangyi" that reinforced North Korea, the Battle of Toyoshima broke out. During the naval battle, the Kumamoto ship of the first guerrilla of the Japanese Combined Fleet sank the British merchant ship "Gaosheng" borrowed from the Qing army to transport troops, creating the Gaosheng incident, which detonated the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

After the incident of the British commercial ship "Gaosheng" incident, after the Australian World Journal reported that there was a huge uproar in the UK. The small Fusang dared to attack the British merchant ship flying the British flag and killed five British people. The British threatened to severely punish the ignorant Fusang people.

Beiyang Prime Minister Li Hongzhang originally felt very sorry for hundreds of dead Huai Army elites. Now, seeing several British people dead, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that there was a good show.

These arrogant Fusang Japanese dared not know how powerful they dared to offend the British Empire?

However, the development of the situation was beyond Li Hongzhang's expectations. The Fusang people showed their extraordinary "diplomatic and public relations" capabilities. After the then Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito reprimanded the Admiralty Department, Fusang Foreign Minister Muro Omoji ordered the Legal Affairs Bureau to investigate the incident in accordance with the procedures of a "civilized country".

From July 27 to August 1, when the war was officially declared, in just one week.

Fuso collected a large amount of evidence, mainly composed of investigation records of the officers of the Kumamoto, the rescued captain and chief mate of the Takae, as well as testimony from some other rescued people, among which the Captain of the Takae became a key witness.

Subsequently, Fusang, a "civilized country", formed the "Report on the Gaosheng Incident" in accordance with "international practice". This unilateral report without the participation of the Qing Dynasty in another party was useful at two subsequent maritime trial hearings in Britain.

At the same time, the Fusang government launched "crisis public relations" in full swing.

The savvy Fusang people have already figured out the "service price code" of the major British media. The Ocean Kingdom has done a very good job in this regard. They copied it according to their own words. After the incident, Fusang immediately bribed Reuters 600 pounds in exchange for "care", and a few days later, he provided 1,000 pounds of "working funds".

In just one week, the Fuso people invested tens of thousands of pounds into the European and American public opinion circles through embassies and consulates abroad. Even the Ocean Kingdom's World Journal, Brisbane Courier and Melbourne Records received various thank-you fees in order to show mercy.

Under such a powerful "crisis public relations", Fusang successfully won some British experts and scholars to publicly defend it in the media.

On August 3, Westlake, a professor at Cambridge University, published an article in the Times, arguing for Japan that "sinking the high and exalted sign is a reasonable and legal act."

On August 6, Oxford University professor Huland published an article with the same argument in the Times. Their views are mainly reflected in three aspects:

The Gaosheng was to provide services to the Qing military and engaged in the transportation of hostile ground combat troops. As a citizen of a neutral country, the captain of the Gaosheng should fully understand that this is a hostile act and cannot obtain protection from the British flag and ship registry.

Fusang cannot be prohibited from treating Gaosheng as an enemy ship because both sides have not declared war. Fusang ordered Gaosheng to obey its orders and cooperate with inspections, and the obligation to declare war will be completed. However, Gaosheng does not obey the orders and fires without authorization are completely hostile, and the state of war already exists.

Fusang confirmed that the Qing army of Gaosheng was heading to North Korea to deal with the Fusang army. It was indeed a military need to sink this hostile act.

Therefore, Oxford University professor Hooland believes that Fusan does not need to apologize to the UK, nor does it need to apologize to the owner of the High-Sales and relatives of the European crew who died.

On August 12 and 20, 1894, two hearings were held in Nagasaki, Fuso and Shanghai, Huaxia, respectively on the Gaosheng incident. The UK almost completely accepted the view that "Fuson is not at fault".

The UK's final ruling:

It was already in a state of war, and Gaosheng was carried out as a belligerent country to carry out combat missions, and Fusang had the right to detain or sink. Therefore, there was no responsibility for this incident.

Based on this, the British Foreign Ministry officially notified the owner of the Gaosheng Shipping Company that the compensation liability should be borne by the Qing Dynasty, and the compensation amount is 33,411 pounds.

Li Fushou reviewed the Gaosheng incident and sighed in his heart.

The blatant sank of ships from other countries killed more than 700 people and provoked a war. The barbaric act of Fusang Little Devil became a just act and an important symbol of the British's entry into a "civilized country".

In fact, not only the United Kingdom, but also the European and American powers all favor Japan. In addition to the strong "public relations" capabilities of the Fusang people, the current international situation, especially East Asia, is the fundamental decisive factor.

Li Fushou knew;

The Gaosheng incident is by no means an isolated incident. It is an important landmark move in the East Asian landscape.

Taking this incident as a watershed

Before this, the Qing Dynasty was still an important major power in East Asia, and Western powers carried out colonial activities in Asia. The Qing Dynasty was the object of trying hard to win over by all parties and also played a certain role in balancing the strength of all parties.

However, after this incident, with the rise of the Meiji Restoration of Fusang Kingdom, the great powers saw the huge potential of this Asian upstart, and since then they changed their policies and turned to support Fusang Kingdom, completely abandoning the irrescue Qing Dynasty.

As Britain's biggest enemy in the Far East, Tsar Nicholas II, who had just succeeded to the throne, was also ambitious, and Tsarist Russia's ambition to expand to East Asia is well known to everyone.

As an old empire, Britain chose Fusang and gave up the Qing Dynasty due to geostrategic needs to curb Tsarist Russia's southern invasion, and it was completely helpless.

Because of the decay and decay of the Qing Dynasty, even the gods could not help them.

The whole incident was full of tacit planning. The British and the Japanese devils colluded to harm the Qing court, and the words "We are accomplices" were engraved on their foreheads. However, the Qing court still hoped to mediate European countries, which was simply ridiculous and hopelessly stupid.

OK, don't bother with these things for the time being, think about some happy things.

Li Fushou held his hands on the railing and looked into the distance. His eyes were soon attracted by this vibrant metropolis. In the distance, countless tall buildings stood high along the Riverside Avenue, full of bright French neoclassical architectural styles.

Under its own leadership, the Ocean Kingdom is full of vitality and high aggression.

The tiger's food grabbing incident that occurred far away in the Kingdom of Madagascar in Africa made Li Fushou feel very satisfied. Lieutenant General Liu Shan, the new commander of the African Expeditionary Force, acted very decisively. While the French Expeditionary Force launched a large-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Madagascar, he immediately decided to send two regiments of officers and soldiers to the island to fight. Through the colonial stronghold established in the Kingdom of Madagascar, he cut the African island country into two sections, realizing the strategic attempt to divide and govern, which was very beautiful.

While Lieutenant General Liu Shan landed on the island, Mozambique organized a militia of 8,000 people to assist in combat, sweeping across the cities and villages in the southern part of the Kingdom of Madagascar like a screen, continuously collecting a large number of young women and transporting them to various areas of Mozambique through passenger ships.

So far, the number is 100,000.

The operation was widely welcomed by Chinese immigrants from the Mozambique colonies, so it raised more than 2 million Jinyang to support the army in carrying out continuous and larger-scale sweeps, and transport more young women to Mozambique, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

Lieutenant General Liu Shan occupies about 2/5 of Madagascar Island, with a population of no more than 700,000 in the region. Through this large-scale organized and planned encroachment of young women will cause a devastating blow to the local indigenous population and a sharp decline in population.

Mozambique's overseas states thus solved the problem of sharp conflicts between men and women's needs, and the occupied areas of Madagascar were in great danger.

On the surface

Li Fushou did not support this behavior, but secretly awarded Lieutenant General Liu Shan the highest medal of honor for the military ~ the Knight's Double Sword Diamond Gold Oak Leaf Large Cross. This is the third person in the entire Ocean Kingdom to receive this noble honor, and what it means is more obvious.

In the world where the strong prey on the weak at the end of the 19th century, I only care about the lush and lush fields in this field, the scenery is unique, and the floods in other places are terrible.
