As major newspapers from European countries called for support for the independence of Central Asia, the Qing Empire once again became the focus of the world. With the victory of the two South African wars, the Qing Empire, which emerged in just a few decades, has become a first-class world power. Whether it is territory, population, finance, economy, military, agriculture, industry, science and technology, or culture, they are well-deserved world-class.

After calling for support for the independence of Central Asia, the Times launched a special report detailing the national conditions of the Qing Dynasty, carefully introducing the brilliant achievements made by the Qing Dynasty from all aspects, especially the Qing Dynasty in just forty years since the implementation of the industrial revolution.

This is the first time that the English newspaper has publicly, objectively, detailed and comprehensively reported the Qing Dynasty.

In recent years, England's expansion in Asia has been losing a lot of money, losing Myanmar, Bangladesh, Persia, Persian Gulf, and even South Africa's colonies have been divided up by various countries under the leadership of the Qing Dynasty.

In response to this, the British country is filled with all kinds of dissatisfaction, but the arrogant British people and even many parliamentarians are still immersed in the glory and glory of the British Empire. The impression of the Qing Dynasty was still decades ago, believing that the British Empire was just disdainful of going to war with the Qing Dynasty on a large scale.

The Times' special report on the Qing Dynasty was not only objective and fair, but also bluntly pointed out that the rapidly becoming stronger Qing Dynasty had become the biggest opponent of the British Empire, not only posing a huge threat to India, but also with the expansion of the Qing Dynasty in the Middle East, it would pose a serious threat to the entire Europe. It also called on European countries to be vigilant against threats from the East and the "Yellow Peril" in the new era.

Regarding this special report, major newspapers from various European countries reprinted it, and for a time, the theory of Eastern threats became a hot topic in public opinion in various European countries.

Correspondingly, countries have successively set off a wave of boycotting clearance, and the East and West trade, which had just recovered due to the recovery of the European economy, fell into a downturn.

Shanghai, Zhennan Wangfu, Changle Bookstore.

Putting down the telegram in his hand, Yi Zhizu felt a little funny. In his impression, the Qing Dynasty boycotted British goods, French goods, Japanese goods, American goods, and foreign goods. Now Europe has set off a wave of boycotting clearance.

Seeing that he was not anxious, but laughed at him, Zhao Liewen was a little puzzled and didn't know what he laughed at. He immediately said, "Whether it is public opinion guidance or boycotting the clearance of goods, it is obvious that they are all heading for the northwest. Is the shopkeeper not worried that the northwest will be backfired?"

Yi Zhizu said unconsciously: "The situation in Central Asia is completely under our control. What are you going to worry about?"

I am so worried that I believe Feng Renxuan so much? I am not worried about Feng Renxuan’s fake act. Zhao Liewen was worried, but it was not convenient to say it clearly. He couldn’t always provoke it. He pondered a little, and he changed his mind, "Although the drought in the north has been alleviated, the large-scale severe drought that lasted for five years is probably not recoverable for five or six years.

Under this situation, the more important it is to trade foreign. Europe's large-scale boycott of Chinese goods on such a large scale, over time, will not only seriously hit my country's trade foreign, but will also have a serious impact on the development of my country's industry."

After a pause, he continued: "The series of reactions in Europe are all caused by the so-called independence of the Northwest. Once the truth is leaked, it will probably be criticized."

"What's the point of criticism or not? I've been criticized a lot along the way and I've been used to it for a long time." Yi Zhizu said and lit a cigarette casually. "Europe's reaction to the Northwest is so big, although it's a bit surprising, it's not a bad thing."

A good thing? Zhao Liewen stumbled for a while, but was still a little puzzled, and pondered: "Student is stupid..."

"The reactions of European countries can make the government and the country clearly understand the importance of the northwest provinces." Yi Jingzu said slowly: "The Times actually does not understand the importance of Central Asia enough. Central Asia is not only the heart of Eurasia, but also the heart of the world. Its importance can be said to be unparalleled.

However, my country has always had a serious lack of understanding of the importance of Central Asia. For my country, Central Asia is very remote, with a harsh climate, not suitable for farming, and has a large land and sparse population, poor and backward...

In fact, Central Asia is located at the junction of Eurasia and has an extremely important strategic position in terms of geopolitical terms. In the era of war, it is a place where military strategists must fight for, and in the era of peace, it is a balance point for balancing Eurasia and surrounding countries.

Economically, Central Asia has been a must-pass place connecting the East and West Silk Roads since ancient times. With the continuous extension of the railway line, a new Silk Road is gradually being formed, and Central Asia's economic status will be more important than before.

The above two points alone are enough to illustrate the unparalleled importance of Central Asia, not to mention that Central Asia may also contain extremely rich natural resources, and it is also the most important national defense and military area in our country."

Speaking of this, he paused, "Europe is guiding public opinion around the two northwest provinces, so we cannot remain indifferent. The newspaper also publicizes the importance of the two northwest provinces and focuses on the aspects of national defense and economic development.

As the saying goes, the whole set of opera singing is that since the northwest is used as bait, domestic public opinion must also make corresponding actions. Moreover, this is a rare opportunity for Chinese people to attach great importance to the northwest."

After hearing this, Zhao Liewen hesitated for a while before saying, "There has been changes in the northwest, and there have been rumors in various provinces. In this case, I am afraid that the suspicion will be even more serious..."

Yi Zhizu said carelessly: "You can't cover it, so just report it publicly..."

"The public reports on the northwest incident have a great impact. Brother Guocheng thinks three times..." As he spoke, Sushun stepped in, and Yi Zhengxing, who was closely following, continued: "Millions of immigrants in the northwest were moved from provinces in the mainland and have a close relationship with the people of the mainland. If the news of the rebellion in the northwest is reported publicly, it will inevitably cause an uproar.

Furthermore, the northwest immigration was carried out in a planned and organized manner by the imperial court and Yuanqi on a large scale. Although it was for the need for disaster relief and for the need to enrich the border, the number of immigrants caused a lot of conflicts, and many officials, gentlemen and businessmen had complaints about immigration policies.

The change in the northwest is equivalent to providing these people with excuses for attack. I am afraid that many people will take the opportunity to accuse the imperial court and Yuanqi of their immigration policies. This year, we are in a new term, so we must worry about it."

Yi Zhizu smiled and reached out to sit down and said, "It is considered to be thorough to be able to consider these things, but you can't just focus on the domestic and international standards."

If we talk about the world pattern, it is easy to be content with the broad vision, the farthest vision, and the accurate judgment, which is beyond the reach of anyone. Sushun has long been convinced. He has been staying in Shanghai for a while, mainly because he is worried that the other party will use the northwest to clean up the royal family and the royalists and the royalists of Manchu and Mongolian nobles.

Feng Renxuan made his own king, and the two northwest provinces established a country. The emperor and the empress dowager were both in Gongning. This was a great temptation for those unwilling royalists. He almost couldn't sleep well these days.

He heard that he had to take into account the international situation and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he did not deliberately target the royalists, it would be a bloody storm. He did not want to take over as Prime Minister of the Cabinet in such a situation.

"Although our country's comprehensive national strength is not as good as England, it has been regarded as the world's first-class power by countries around the world. European public opinion has recently promoted the theory of Eastern threats, which is a potential manifestation of uneasiness and even panic about threats from our country."

Yi Zhizu continued: "Before the rise of the United States, with the continuous strengthening of our country's national strength, the Eurasian conflict or the East-West conflict will be inevitable, and large-scale East-West wars will also be inevitable!

We will fight against the entire Europe with the power of one country. No matter how win or lose, it is unbearable for our country. Therefore, we must try our best to avoid this situation. No matter how bad it is, we must try our best to delay and delay the time of conflict and war!”

Speaking of this, he glanced at several people, "How can we avoid it? Can we delay time?"

Zhao Liewen said tactfully: "Provoke civil strife in Europe."

Yi Zhizu said in a very confident tone: "It is indeed the best way to provoke civil unrest in Europe. The German Empire, which was not long and rapidly rose, was the most unstable factor in Europe. Civil unrest in Europe is destined to be provoked by Germany, which is also the reason why we actively support the construction of the German navy."

As he said that, his tone changed, "However, German Emperor William and Prime Minister Bismarck are both scheming and unsure of their ability and will not take action rashly. We still need to create opportunities for them."

What a big game of chess! Sushun couldn't help but be shocked, but Yi Zhengxing said, "Will English be fooled?"

"Of course." Yi Zhizu said calmly: "Central Asia has an unparalleled geographical advantage, which is a fatal temptation for England. First, independence from the northwest is equivalent to eliminating the crisis of India being attacked by both sides of our country.

Secondly, once the northwest is independent, the Eurasian Railway will inevitably end in vain. England, which has huge maritime trade advantages, has always been resentful about the Eurasian Railway. If you have the opportunity to destroy it, how can you let it go easily? These two points alone are enough to make England take risks!”

Zhao Liewen couldn't help but feel funny. He said that the pit in the northwest was not dug for Russia or Persia, but for England? Russia and Persia were just trying to beat rabbits?

Yi Zhengxing hesitated and said, "The possibility of the British sending troops directly is not high, and it is even more likely to encourage Russia and Persia to send troops."

"The Russians are not stupid." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "Besides, as long as English see hope, it is inevitable to send troops to fight! English will definitely not let the Russians control the northwest, thus threatening India. Once they find something to do, they will definitely not dare to sit idly by. Of course, they can't hold back."
