Chapter 2093: exposure

"Holden, you wrote really well!" Qiao An admired sincerely.
"My sister and Cai Mi also said they wrote well and suggested that I publish them publicly." Holden smiled triumphantly.
"It should indeed be published publicly. If it is only circulated in small circles, it will not have the effect of clarifying the truth and awakening the people." Qiao An returned the manuscript to Mr. Poet, "How about voting for the "Midgard Tribune"? "
Holden spread his hands and sighed.
"A senior in our college worked in a newspaper after graduation last year. He had a good relationship with me. Before I came over, I asked him for coffee and asked him if he could publish an article like this. After reading it, he told me that he might not work. The censorship is unprecedentedly strict. If my article is published, the newspaper will be at risk of being blocked..."
Qiao An frowned and asked: "You may find tabloids outside the city that are not subject to news supervision. Unfortunately, such newspapers have limited influence."
"Sister Choi Mi said that Mr. Adams is doing well in New Avalon. Knowing the editor-in-chief of "Jordonheim News", they should be happy to publish this article that embarrassed the Midgard colonial authorities." Holden He touched his chin and smiled slyly.
Advocating justice through the newspapers of the enemy country and publishing articles discrediting his own government, the more Qiao An thinks about it, the less it feels...Is this count as collaborating with the enemy and treason?
While struggling, Holden asked: "Joan, I remember that you have friends in the Alfheim press, can you try to submit articles there?"
Qiao An thought for a while, and said: "I know the editors and reporters of the "Laiton Post". I can try to find out for you and try to publish it on the front page."
The port of Leiden is also an overseas colony of the Ashen Empire. Publishing Holden's article in the local newspaper is not a big scandal, and Qiao An has nothing to entangle.
"In addition, I have an idea. In fact, we don't need to stick to physical paper media. The news page of the cloud network is also soliciting manuscripts. You might as well try to submit a paper!" Holden said excitedly, "If I can publish it on the cloud network By publishing this article, cloud users from all over the world can see that the influence will be much greater than that of any regional newspaper. What do you think?"
Qiao An hesitated for a moment, the balance in his heart finally turned to the "justice" side.
"Try it."
...
Things went more smoothly than expected. Just a week later, the manuscript submitted by Holden passed online review and was published on the most prominent section of "Yunwang News". More than 10,000 Yunwang users read this day. Articles and comments, sparking heated discussion.
Qiao Anshi searched the news comment area and classified them by keywords. He found that the vast majority of users supported Holden’s exposure of the truth, and severely condemned the despicable actions of the Midgard colonial authorities to reverse black and white and torture the indigenous people. "Free heart" is not just empty talk.
Controversies triggered by the "Truth of the Vimur River Valley Massacre Revealed" quickly heated up, and public opinion shifted from the Internet to reality.
Soon afterwards, the "Leiden Post" and "Jordonheim News" also followed in the footsteps of cloud news and published this secret article, which contributed to the increase in the heat of the incident, and triggered the community Extensive discussion.
In addition to the Midgard colony and the empire, the media of other countries have also reprinted this article. The major newspapers also expressed sympathy for the death of Logan Walsung through social reviews, and expressed their sympathy for the death of Logan Walsung and to Midgard, who indulged the virus and harmed the indigenous people. The colonial authorities took a severely critical attitude.
Feeling the pressure of public opinion from the international community, the colonial government finally realized the seriousness of the situation and realized that continued indiscriminate killings would only rekindle the flames of war in Midgard, and decided to settle the matter.
However, the aborigines, headed by the Wallsung family, have been thoroughly angered by the colonists’ treachery and slaughter, and flatly refused to compromise.
Governor Nichols tried to ask Lord Castis to show his cheeks, but Sir Alex declined on the grounds that he was ill. He frankly said that the matter has come to this point, and he could not eliminate the wrath of the Walsung family. The racial vendetta would become a threat. For the war that engulfed the entire Midgard region, the colonial authorities must prepare early.
Governor Nichols was taken aback by Sir Alex Ferguson's warning and hurriedly wrote to the Imperial Cabinet for assistance.
However, the empire is not at peace. The reform plan presided over by Prince Frank has been implemented for two years. For this old empire with bloated and hard-to-return systems, the radical reforms of economy, religion and land system are like a panacea. It did not eliminate the malpractice, but intensified class contradictions and the disintegration of traditional rural society.
The sacred Ashen Empire, which has lasted for more than 1600 years, is like a magnificent mansion with a magnificent exterior and disintegrating interior, already crumbling.
If the radical-led reform was a
man-made disaster
that caused bad things out of good intentions, then the extraordinary drought that swept across the northwestern inland of the empire in the spring of 1624, once in ten years, was undoubtedly a cruel natural disaster.
The Holy See organized high-ranking clergymen to go to areas with severe drought to cast spells and rain.
However, in this extremely dry season, artificial rainfall is like a drop in the bucket and cannot fundamentally alleviate the disaster.
In the vast villages in the interior of the empire, many small and medium-sized peasants have lost most of their land in the reforms. Coupled with the ravages of drought, they are facing bankruptcy.
Bankrupt farmers with a little savings can still go to sea to earn a living and move to the New World to seek a living. The abject poor who can't even afford a boat ticket can only drag their families to flee and beg.
In any era, in any country, the flood of refugees is a sign of extremely dangerous unrest.
The Holy Ashen Empire also failed to escape the laws of history. From the sporadic riots set off in the spring of 1624 to the summer of that year, it has evolved into a peasant uprising with the widest range, the largest number of participants, and the most far-reaching impact in this century. The wildfires ignited on the ground increasingly show a tendency to lose control.
In order to quell the domestic turmoil, the rulers of the imperial cabinet have been so busy that they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they can worry about the overseas colony of Midgard.
The documents submitted by Governor Nichols have not been replied for a long time, and the colonial authorities of Midgard are in an embarrassing situation of isolation and helplessness, and they can only ask for their own blessing.
...
Since the publication of Holden's article, Qiao An has paid special attention to Mrs. Anderson's emotional changes, lest she hear the wind from neighbors in the neighborhood and learn the truth about her son's death, and she will suffer mental trauma again.
I don't know whether to say luck or misfortune. The poor old woman did not wait for the day when the whole city was discussing the truth about the tragedy in the Vimur Valley. She died peacefully in her sleep with a sense of relief and revenge.
As if God's will in the dark, on June 2nd, the day Mrs. Anderson held her funeral, the old cat named "Qiuqiu" who had accompanied her for many years also stopped breathing that night.
Qiao An personally made a small coffin for the master of "Qiuqiu" and was buried with Mrs. Anderson.
The next morning, he took the rest of the cats and dogs in the house into the carriage, and according to the prior agreement, sent them to the Gulf Commercial Bank and entrusted them to Hailar for adoption.
"Cat, cat, meow!"
"The dog, the dog, the bark!"
Seeing a large group of pets in the house, Dolly the parrot excitedly imitated cats and dogs barking, jumping up and down, and patted her chest with her wings, and solemnly assured Qiao An that she would help her hostess take good care of these cats and dogs.
After drinking a cup of tea in the firm, Qiao An bid farewell to Hailar, and bid farewell to the reluctant pets before going out, wishing them a happy life in the new environment.
Hailar leaned on the counter, folded his arms around his chest, silently watching Qiao Ann say goodbye to the cats and dogs, and finally couldn't help asking him: "Since you can't bear it, why don't you raise them yourself?"
Qiao An glanced at her and turned to look out the door.
"I do not deserve."

Historical: Logan leaders lament ( "Bloody Democracy" Author: Charles Yau Yin)
In 1774, a series of bloodshed occurred between the Indians living in the Ohio River Basin and the whites.
According to Thomas Jefferson’s account in The Virginia Chronicle (1784-1785), white men were angry at the robbery of Indians. In retaliation, white soldiers killed many innocent Indians, including the leader of the local Indians. Rogan’s family, and Logan is known as a white friend.
The brutally destroyed Logan launched a revenge against the white colonists and rallied the Indian army to launch a war against the white colonists.
They attacked whites everywhere and stripped many innocent men, women and children, but they were finally defeated by the Virginia militia in October 1774.
After this decisive battle, the colonial government, which realized that indiscriminate killing would only continue to plunge the border of the colony into warfare, decided to calm down the situation and put forward the attitude of ending hostility as long as the Indians surrendered and repented.
But Logan, with a feud, refused to go with the other leaders and begged the winning white man. Instead, he sent the following reply to the Governor of Virginia, Earl Moore.
When the militia forces conquered the Indian triumphantly, they also took this complaint back.
According to Jefferson, "This speech became the topic of all conversations in Williamsburg." It was published in the "Virginia Gazette" and later in newspapers in North America, and even the British newspaper published the speech.
Many years later, Jefferson published this reply again in his "Virginia Chronicle" to refute those Europeans "thinking that something in the soil, climate, and other environments of North America caused animals to be congenital or acquired." , The degradation of physical or moral nature, even humans are no exception" as the reason for discrimination against North American residents.
Jefferson took Logan's reply as evidence of "the genius of the natives of this country, especially their eloquence."
He asserted that "Europe has never seen anything better than this short, exquisite and eloquent speech."
Logan's speech was once a regular article in school books in the 19th century and was familiar to generations of young Americans. The following is the translation of the speech:
I implore any white man to ask if he ever walked into Logan’s cabin hungry, and Logan didn’t give him meat? Did he come to Logan's house when it was cold and unclothed, and Logan didn't dress him?
In the recent long and war, Logan has stayed in his cabin and has been a peace propaganda man.
My love for white people is such that when my compatriots pass by my house, they all point to and say: "Logan is a friend of white people." If not alone hurt us, I even thought about living with you.
Last spring, Colonel Kressap brutally killed all Logan’s relatives for no reason, even my woman and children. Among the people alive now, no one has my blood in his veins.
This fact calls me to retaliate. I sought revenge, and I killed many people. Now, I have enough revenge. For this land, I am very happy to see the dawn of peace.
But don't think that my happiness is out of fear. Logan was never afraid, he would not suddenly make a 180-degree change in order to save his life!
Who of you will mourn for Logan? No one!
...
However, the author must emphasize that for Thomas Jefferson, he is not really concerned about the tragedy of Chief Logan.
Such an arguable lament from the natives of North America can explain them to the North Americans from Europe-see, even natives can write such eloquent and moving words, not to mention those of us from Europe, white people who believe in God!
As for the Luo Gen people, as he himself said at the end of the article-who would mourn for Logan? No one!
