Chapter 861: The Ming Dynasty is the public enemy of civilization! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Occupying forces!

In fact, for the Ming Dynasty, it doesn’t matter whether it is an occupying force or not, because the Ming Dynasty itself is an occupying force!

The purpose is to occupy those lands!

There is absolutely no need to act like a whore and pretend to be a virtuous woman. Daming would never put itself in such an embarrassing position.

Even if it is the so-called "army of benevolence and righteousness, and the army of civilization", it is only because the current discourse power is in the hands of white people, so at least some image must be maintained.

While maintaining those images to the outside world, it did not prevent the Ming Dynasty from setting up a bunch of special districts such as "Gulag", "Special High Section" and "Lubyanka" after the occupation, nor did it prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending prisoners of war to Africa to be used as cattle and horses.

Imperialism!

There is always something to be done that is consistent with the imperialist identity.

However, on the other hand, it does not prevent the Ming Dynasty from occupying the moral high ground. Just like the declaration of war on Brazil, even if the war broke out less than ten minutes after the declaration, even if the Ming Dynasty’s army had planned it for a long time, there was no problem - the Ming Dynasty had already issued a warning before this.

Even after the declaration of war, the Ming Dynasty negotiated with Brazil through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the withdrawal of diplomats from the two countries, and expressed its willingness to escort Brazilian diplomats out of the country. In a word, the Ming Dynasty will always be great and glorious.

For this reason, one month after the declaration of war, almost when the Ming army was approaching Montevideo, a ship from the United States withdrew the Ming ambassador to Brazil and other diplomats from Rio de Janeiro.

"Gentlemen, what is civilization?"

On the "New World" ship, facing reporters from various countries, Song Zhelun, the Ming Empire's ambassador to Brazil, spoke in a calm and proud tone.

"When the Ming Empire expressed its desire to negotiate on the issue of diplomats, it was redefining civilization. In war, no matter how far the war between countries goes, civilized countries should not and should not harm diplomats. Only barbarians would detain diplomats during war..."

While Song Zhelun was giving a speech in fluent English to the reporters and passengers on the ship, Mark Twain, the famous American writer, who was sitting at the restaurant table, spoke in a curious tone.

"John, do you think the Ming Empire is really redefining civilization?"

In response to his friend's question, John, a reporter from New York, asked back.

"Mark, my friend, haven't you noticed that until now, the Ming Dynasty has always been constantly redefining civilization?"

John sighed as he drank a glass of wine.

"In the past few centuries, it was us, Europeans, white people, who defined what civilization was. But what about now?"

This is a soul-searching question. In the past two or three hundred years, the barbarians in Europe decided what is barbarism and what is civilization with the help of muskets and cannons in their hands.

They even define skin color as civilization.

White people are civilized, while other colored races - the yellow race - are barbaric. As for black people... they are not human at all. Of course, this is also the common view of that era. In European zoos, there are special gardens for exhibiting black people, ranging from a few to hundreds. They show the life of black people to Europeans.

Well, for those people who claim to be in a "civilized country", in their eyes, black people are just like animals from foreign lands, which are put on display in zoos.

This is how European barbarians define "civilization".

"Now the Ming Dynasty is defining civilization in their own way. I don't know what this means, but for the entire European world, this is undoubtedly a disaster."

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, John said in a wise tone.

"Twelve years ago, they occupied Chile, six years ago, they occupied Argentina, and now they have declared war on Brazil, but the whole world... I mean the entire civilized world has not noticed their threat until now. While the Europeans are sharpening their knives and targeting the dying pagans in Turkey, while they are advocating the "Crusades" of the new century, they have not noticed that the ambitions of the Ming Empire are rapidly expanding. It is certain that when the Europeans launch the "Crusades", South America... will fall into the hands of another group of pagans!"

"Crusade" is the most popular word in recent months. Since the Russian Empire declared war on Turkey, many people in Europe have been advocating for a "Crusade" to recapture the Holy City. The country that is clamoring the most is France, which is not surprising. After all, the French Empire has always been a supporter of the Papal States, and no one would doubt France's identity as a "warrior of God."

"Yellow Peril!"

John uttered two words directly.

"When Brazil falls into the hands of the Ming Empire, the 'Yellow Peril' will be inevitable. However, no Europeans pay any attention to the threat of the Ming Empire. They even collude with the Ming Empire. Their short-sightedness will eventually destroy the entire civilized world!"

As a political commentator and observer, John has always been hostile to the Ming Dynasty. It's not just him. In fact, compared to many Europeans, the people who are most hostile to the Ming Dynasty have always been Americans. After all, the Ming Dynasty once bombarded Los Angeles and brought endless humiliation to the United States.

"When South America is completely occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the civilized world will definitely pay a heavy price for facing this "Yellow Peril"!"

Faced with his friend's statement, Mark Twain neither agreed nor disagreed. As early as when he was in New York, John had reported similar news in newspapers many times. For John, advocating the "Yellow Peril" was not just a way to make a living - there were many people in the United States who supported this view, and articles advocating the "Ming Dynasty Threat Theory" were naturally very popular in the market. For this reason, some journalists, regardless of their previous positions, have now transformed themselves into advocates of the "Ming Dynasty Threat Theory". Under their advocacy, the entire United States now firmly believes in this theory - the Ming Dynasty may move south from the north at any time and collude with Mexico to occupy the western and central regions of the United States.

"The Ming threat theory?"

Mark Twain uttered this word and looked at his friend and asked.

"Is this why you want to go to Ming?"

"Of course, although the whole of America is now clearly aware of the imminent threat of the Ming Dynasty, not many people really understand this country. I hope to obtain first-hand information and prove to the Americans that this country has become the public enemy of human civilization! Especially the public enemy of American civilization!"
