Day and night, the global news media divided into two factions, reporting on two major events. [No pop-up novel network]

The Western news media, represented by it, focused on the "wave of nationalism" in the republic.

The positive attitude of the people of the Republic not only surprised Wang Yuanqing a little, but also shocked the Western news media.

The college students went to Beijing to pray for the blessings of the front-line soldiers, and the actual actions of the people of the Republic attracted even more attention.

On the afternoon of the 24th, + Yanbo, Li Chengwen, Wang Yuanshan and other hundreds of mainland businessmen and Taiwan businessmen gathered in Suzhou to raise a total of 166.66 billion yuan in donations at the "National Rise and Fall Fundraising Party" held in the evening of the same day. This donation will be fully donated to the central government of the republic and will be used exclusively for war expenses!

Wang Yuanqing received the news at dinner, and he was also startled at that time.

Although more than 100 million yuan is enough for a week's worth of front-line combat troops to consume for a modern battle with an astonishing cost, the performance of the Republic's businessmen is enough to shock any leader.

But that's just the beginning.

As early as the morning of the 23rd, some netizens started a "patriotic fundraising" activity on the Internet, shouting the slogan "One person pays one yuan, support the army to stride forward."

On the morning of the 24th, three large-scale stations in China opened fundraising channels, set up a list of fundraisers in a conspicuous position, and provided netizens with fundraising inquiries.

Less than 12 hours. The three major websites have collected a total of about 500 billion donations from tens of thousands of netizens!

A netizen named "Love My China" donated 1. A netizen named "Yanhuang descendants 9527" donated 1.

Donations are made regardless of size. It is important to be patriotic.

Netizen fund-raising activities cannot create small "trouble" for the government. On the 24th alone, during the day, local civil affairs departments across the country received more than 2 million consultation calls. Many people ask if there is fraud in online fundraising. They have said that the government should set up a special fundraising account to manage fundraising activities.

Other words. A lot of people are willing to donate. But they don't trust private fundraising.

It is precisely for this reason that the Western media chant that the republic has thrown up a "wave of nationalism".

The Western media hyped up the "nationalism" of the republic with the aim of creating the "China threat theory". Although this argument has long been outdated, there is still a certain market.

What could the Republic not do to bomb Japan's civilian nuclear facilities without giving any warning?

In the comments of the Western media, when a republic of four is controlled by nationalist sentiments, it is not only Japan that suffers, but the whole world.

The invited special commentator also brazenly mentioned that the purpose of waging war against Japan was to annex Japan.

Regardless of whether the starting point of this argument is correct, that is, whether it was Japan or the Republic that started the war, the argument itself is valid. With an elderly population of about 600 million, will the republic annex another aging country? Besides, Japan is seriously contaminated, will the republic annex a "garbage country"?

Of course, many Westerners don't look at the facts.

The republic did bomb Japan's civilian nuclear facilities, and the republic did gain the upper hand after the outbreak of war. In the eyes of Westerners, it is evidence that the Republic started a war, and it is also evidence that the Republic intends to annex Japan.

Wang Yuanqing does not attach importance to the comments of the Western news media, because it is impossible for public opinion to change the facts by distorting the facts.

But Wang Yuanqing had to think about domestic stability.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Yuanqing telephoned Jiang Yuan, vice premier of the State Council in charge of civil affairs work, and departments at all levels should do a good job in civil affairs work, actively guide the patriotic enthusiasm of the people, control prices in various localities, and prevent the war from having a serious negative impact on the domestic economic environment. Most importantly, Wang Yuanqing explicitly asked Jiang Yuan to issue a central document as soon as possible, and to tell the people of the whole country through the news media and other channels that the central government had sufficient financial resources to support the war and did not want the war to lead to a decrease in the quality of life of the people.

In other words, Wang Yuanqing discouraged spontaneous war fundraising.

For the money that has been raised, or if someone really wants to raise donations, Wang Yuanqing has no choice. After all, people have the power to decide how to use their wealth, and they cannot be deprived of the right to dispose of their property.

It's just that there are many things that even Wang Yuanqing couldn't expect.

After Jiang Yuan~ went to CCTV for an interview, called on the people to provide support to the frontline soldiers by actively working, studying hard, and consciously maintaining social stability, and did not encourage the people to use the necessary funds for production and life to raise donations, the domestic fundraising activities not only did not stop fighting, but intensified.

By the end of January, more than 15,000 donations had been raised!

Public opinion can be unstoppable, and the government has had to adjust its policy to allow the news media to actively report on donations from all walks of life.

There is no amount of donation, and patriotism is not divided between young and old!

Among the people who spontaneously raised donations, there were gray-haired veterans who had joined the army in 1 and participated in the Liberation War and the Korean War, middle-aged laborers who dragged their families and served as the pillars of their families, young people who were energetic and had not yet completed their university studies, teenagers who were childish and wore school uniforms, and even many children who donated their pocket money!

The reporter interviewed people of these age groups separately

A 1C7-year-old man told reporters after donating his savings for the year, "When I was young, I picked up a sword and gun to participate in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to defend my family and defend the country. ”

Later, the reporter learned that the old man's 5 great-grandchildren are all serving in the army, and 2 of them have already gone to the front!

An IT technician who participated in the fundraiser with his daughter, who is still in elementary school, told reporters after donating the salary he had just received, "When I was in college, I always hated Japan and swore not to buy a single Japanese product. Back then, it was popular on the Internet to buy a Japanese product to provide how many bullets for the Japanese army, and now I can finally use my meager income to buy a few more bullets for the soldiers of the Republic to help them defeat ***! ”

After the father made a donation, the young girl donated a total of 2,232 yuan of pocket money that she had saved for one year.

Later, the reporter learned that this father participated in "anti-Japanese demonstrations" when he was in college.

A college student donated 5,000, when the reporter interviewed, he said, "This is the living expenses I saved for the next semester as a tutor in the summer, the war started, I waited for the country to issue a conscription order, and then I joined the army to serve, and carried a gun to fight ***." ”

Later, the reporter said that the college student had already gone through the procedures for suspension and went to the civil affairs department to fill in the volunteer to join the army.

There is also a father who took his son who is in middle school to the fund-raising point opened by the Nanjing Municipal Government to donate 000000 yuan, when interviewed by reporters, the father only said, "If the war is two years late, let my boy join the army and serve, carry a gun to the battlefield and teach the Japanese devils a hard lesson!" ”

Later, the reporter learned that the father and son were the descendants of the survivors of the Nanjing Massacre.

Donations are the main means of public support to the state in most of the Republics, but for others it is only one method.

By the end of January, more than 15 million citizens had registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Armed Forces!

Among them, there are 16-year-olds who have just reached the age of joining the army, and there are middle-aged people who are about to exceed the age of joining the army, and of course, most of the young people who ask to join the army are between the ages of 18 and 24.

For this matter, Ye Zhisheng found Wang Yuanqing many times and proposed to recruit soldiers in advance.

Wang Yuanqing did not agree with Ye Zhisheng's suggestion, the reason is very simple, modern warfare does not rely on more people to win.

Modern warfare is a struggle for comprehensive national strength, especially economic and scientific and technological strength. Military strength is only a concrete manifestation of economic and scientific and technological strength in war. In other words, workers working in factories, scientists working in scientific research institutes, engineers working in design institutes, and even farmers working in the fields contributed no less to the war effort than soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front lines.

The problem of aging in the republic has reached its peak, and there is a need for labor in all walks of life, and there is no need to recruit too many soldiers.

The most important thing is that Wang Yuanqing does not intend to wantonly expand the scale of the war, and hopes to end the war as soon as possible. Even if young men were to be recruited immediately, training alone would have taken months, and it was unclear what the war would be like. Even if it is necessary to recruit more soldiers, the first consideration is not for inexperienced social personnel, but for retired soldiers within 5 years. Retired servicemen are able to adapt to military life very quickly, the amount of training is much smaller, and they are able to go into battle in a timely manner. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Defense, the number of retired servicemen who can be recruited is between 50 and 600,000. As long as these people are recruited, it will be more than enough to defeat Japan, even if it occupies Japan.

Judging by the attitude of the citizens of the republic to the war, the "concerns" of the Western news media are not groundless.

Of course, that's all for later.

While the Western news media were trying their best to "vilify" the Republic, many news media, led by the Republic's National Television, International Television, and Al Jazeera, were vigorously reporting on the battle that had begun again on the night of the 24th.

After a day's rest, the Republic Air Force adjusted its troop deployment, and the Japanese Air Force also relieved itself.

I have to admit that Japan was very well prepared for the war.

Although on the first day of fighting, the Republic Air Force destroyed almost all the large bases of the Japanese Air Force, on the night of the 24th, the Japanese Air Force still had hundreds of fighters in the air to fight for air supremacy with the Republic Air Force.

According to the report provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, Japan has built a large number of field airfields and underground military installations in peacetime.

Needless to say, Japan has been preparing for war!

In the evening, in addition to continuing to bomb the Japanese mainland and expanding its targets to include military and heavy industrial facilities, the Republic Air Force dispatched shore-based combat aircraft of the Naval Air Force to carry out an all-out bombing of Japanese military bases on the Ryukyu Islands, including Naha Port, Futenma Airport, and Kadena Air Base.

The battle was fiercely fought and both sides did their best.

In the middle of the night, Wang Yuanqing was woken up from bed by Jiao Lushan, and left the Fuhrer's Mansion under the escort of the Führer's Guard and went to the strategic command center.
