2247 Interview
Prussian freelance writer Leo has now become a European red and purple gold pen. He does not rely on any newspaper, but any newspaper must have a good relationship with him.
Because Leo is the general manager of the Chinese propaganda war in Europe at this moment, he has countless explosive news in his hands, and all news about the East must pass through his hands.
Now even if the Times wants to write a report about East Asia, they have to turn the door to ask him for advice. Leo's pen is really worth a thousand yuan at this moment.
Xiao Letian's order was delivered, and Leo immediately took action. He personally sent invitations to any newspaper with good relationship with him and a great influence. The black carriage in the East Palace ran around the city of London, and the exhausted police officers were almost dead like dogs.
Without that editor-in-chief, he would not give him face, and would not let go of important news. Even if no one invited them, they would want to interview Xiao Letian. When they heard that the head of state took half a day to interview a small number of people, the editors of major newspapers took action one after another.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, there were vehicles gathering at the entrance of the East Palace. Today, the real newspaper elites are beyond the reach of ordinary journalists. These people have very high identities and even often go to and from the royal palaces. It is common for interviews with cabinet ministers.
In the luxurious hall of the East Palace, the bright red velvet chairs are soft and comfortable. The editors' seats are arranged in a semicircle with a single sofa in the center, which is Xiao Letian's position.
The atmosphere of the entire venue was very relaxed and casual. There were many flowers placed around it. The top-notch sandalwood was burned in the corner, and a quiet smell was strolling in the hall.
Flowers, sandalwood, and the sound of the guqin looming from afar, a strong oriental style came to the face. After the editors took their seats, a maid soon brought towels and herbal tea with ice. The machine in the distance turned on the rotating fan and brought a breeze.
Not long after he sat down, he heard the sound of neat leather boots hitting the ground at the gate, "Salute!" The soldiers standing guard raised their chests and raised their heads to salute. Xiao Letian took his generals into the hall.
All the editors immediately stood up and applauded the head of state to pay attention. It seemed that the previous emotional investment was still very effective. Benjamin's smear did not change their impression of the Chinese.
Today, Xiao Letian did not wear a marshal's uniform or a formal suit, but a casual dress of linen. The strong Chinese style came to his face. As soon as this outfit appeared, it made people feel extremely comfortable. It seemed that the head of state did not affect his emotions due to the deterioration of the situation.
"Sit, please sit down, everyone. Today is a lot of time. I will give you an exclusive interview. We can have an in-depth chat. You can talk about anything... Please sit down!"
After the guest and the guest and the host sat down for a few words, everyone soon got to the point, mainly the editor-in-chief of the Times, with a total of twenty-six editors starting to ask questions in turn.
"Master, what do you think about your comments? What are your solutions?"
"Well... Thank you for your openness. Since I asked this sensitive question, I will naturally not avoid it... Prime Minister Benjamin called me a warlord of the barbarians. Let's talk about this later. Let's talk about what a country is..."
"All of you here are elite intellectuals with higher education. I think you should understand the definition and components of the country. Although there are different academic schools, I think there are four things that can be done, so you should call it a country!"
"First of all, you need to have a country, which is necessary. Can a country be established without land? Secondly, you need people, and people can also be said to be nations. Of course, a desert without people cannot be called a country. Just like Antarctica, can you say where is a country?"
"If you have land and population, you still have to have your own independent culture! This is very important. If you don't have your own independent culture and everything about you is exactly the same as your neighboring area, then natural selection is integrated..."
"Can the East and West London split into two countries? Obviously it is impossible, because everyone has common words, language, behavioral habits, values... these are all the same and they will naturally merge together!"
"So, cultural differences must be made so that we can become a country independently!"
"And the fourth point is that there must be a government, a representative of the image of the country, a three-dimensional national management agency...and do we have these Chinese people?"
"The land of Ryukyu was presented by King Shangtai, and the documents for the donation were reasonable and legal. Therefore, the Ryukyu island chain should be considered the territory of our Chinese people. There should be no objection to this, including many Chinese gathering areas in Southeast Asia, which are the same language and race as us, so it is natural to incorporate the Chinese people..."
"Some people will say that the land in Southeast Asia does not belong to the Chinese... But I would also like to remind everyone that international law also follows the three principles of discovery, development, and ownership for unmanned wasteland!"
"A land, whoever discovers that nature has natural control first, for example, the ownerless island in the Age of Discovery, any explorer marks it on the map, and the ownership of this island will be recognized by all nations..."
"Under the principle of first discovery, there is another principle that is first development. If you only discover an island without any construction, while later generations immigrate to cultivate and develop... In this case, the principle of first discovery cannot be applied!"
"The reason is very simple. Builders, like discoverers, also have power, because this is a natural human rights! It cannot be said that you discovered this earth, but if you have no construction, this land will always belong to you? There is no such reason in the world..."
"In Southeast Asia, many Chinese reclamation areas were taken from wild animals and reclaimed from the deserted primitive forests. Perhaps these areas on the map were all allocated to many national countries, but they had no construction for thousands of years. God gave it to them, but they abandoned it. This cannot be blamed for us..."
The editor-in-chief around burst into laughter, and many people nodded, "This makes sense. Many areas with disputed sovereignty still need to look at the composition of the local ethnic groups when conducting diplomatic consultations. Just like the Alsace and Lorraine areas controlled by the French now. Since German and German culture are popular, Prussia has never given up any place..."
"It is very likely that these two French lands will return to the embrace of Germany. After all, the nation and culture belong to Germany!"
"Yes, you see, we still have something in common. Now I shouldn't be considered a barbarian from the East, right?"
