Objectively speaking, not all Westerners have a bias towards the Republic, and all Western journalists are the mouthpieces of interest groups. In the West, there is a group of freelance journalists who are committed to finding the truth and restoring the facts. Freelancers are very different from professional journalists who are hired by the news media in that they do not belong to any news media and are therefore not controlled by the forces behind the news media. In order to defend their rights and press freedom, freelance journalists have established the International Federation of Journalists, which is not affiliated with any government or defers to any interest group.

In the international arena, freelancers are not only respected, but also actively contribute to the promotion of press freedom. The first to report on the abuse of prisoners by the US military was a freelance journalist, and it was also a freelance journalist who went deep into Kosovo to report on the genocide committed by the Serbian army. Freelancers who have gone deep into Afghanistan to cover the life and fighting of the Taliban. Going back in time, Edgarsnow, the first Western journalist to go to Yan'an to interview the founding fathers of the Republic, was also a freelance journalist.

It can be seen that because they are not controlled by interest groups, freelance journalists can report news events more fairly and objectively.

With the widespread use of the Internet, which provides an opportunity for everyone to speak out and an information platform for everyone to publish the truth, the ranks of freelance journalists continue to grow and their influence continues to expand. Freelancers can be found in any hot spot.

On the day of the outbreak of the war in India, a group of freelance reporters went deep into the northeast of India with video cameras, cameras, voice recorders and other news gathering equipment. Although these freelance journalists were not soldiers, did not even carry weapons, and did not receive support or help from the warring parties, they not only survived the war zone with the noble belief in press freedom, but also went deep into various regions with the help of local people, showing the disastrous effects of the war on civilians, especially those living at the lowest levels of society without any public rights.

Because of the constant electronic jamming by the warring parties, free journalists have been reporting on northeastern India intermittently, losing their coherence, and thus failing to exert much influence on international public opinion. It wasn't until the night of Knife Day, when hundreds of battlefield photos by freelancers appeared on the Internet, that these freelance journalists, who risked their lives to travel to the world's most dangerous places, attracted the world's attention.

To be precise, it is their photos that have attracted the attention of the world.

The photos are from 3 different villages, in different ways and from different angles. The tragic scenes were shown in front of all mankind. In these photos, there are villages engulfed in flames, charred corpses, decapitated villagers, raped girls, Indian soldiers shooting at villagers, and Indian soldiers looting.

No one knows how the freelancers took the photos, but no one doubts the authenticity.

A few hours later, it wasn't just freelancers in danger who were "fighting".

With the appearance of several contrasting commercial remote sensing satellite photographs on the Internet, no one doubts the authenticity of those that appear on the official website of the International Federation of Journalists. Because those few remote sensing satellite photos were provided by the "European Land Remote Sensing Detection Company". The locations taken are the villages taken by freelance journalists, and they are two sets of photos before and after Ugly Day.

Three villages were destroyed, and the bodies on the ground could be seen from remote sensing satellite photographs with a resolution of enough meters.

What is a humanitarian catastrophe?

When I saw these photos, everyone was reflecting on the question.

The harm caused by the war to Indian civilians is certainly a humanitarian disaster, but is the massacre of ethnic minority foresters in remote areas by the Indian army a humanitarian disaster?

As Al Jazeera quoted the news of the "Federation of Journalists", the deletion kept his mouth shut.

As in the past, China's news media did not provide detailed coverage of his births in northeastern India, except for quoting the International Federation of Journalists, and remained focused on military operations.

There is no doubt that such a significant matter. It certainly aroused great concern at the top of the republic.

At night, Pei Chengyi received a call from Xiang Linghui.

After exchanging views with Xiang Linghui, Pei Chengyi called Yuan Chenhao over.

"Arrange now?"

"Make your plans, but don't take action." Pei Chengyi handed a cigarette to Yuan Chenhao and said, "According to Mr. Xiang's meaning, the International Federation of Journalists will definitely contact our government and hope that our army can help rescue those journalists trapped in northeast India."

Mr. Xiang had already asked Lu Chengwen to lead the special forces to arrive, and they could arrive before dawn. Our task is to arrange the transportation force, and Lu Chengwen is responsible for the rest. ”

"I'll arrange it right away, is there anything else?"

"Not yet."

"Don't let the Hosts go into action?.

"It's not time yet." Pei Chengyi smiled. "The Cave Army has just entered Bangladesh. Haven't deployed yet. Mr. Xiang specially told us to wait until the matter is big, and then we will clean up the mess. ”

"It seems that there will be many people who will be unlucky."

"It's not us anyway, and it's not our frontline soldiers." Ling Chengyi sneered and said, "After Dongfang Wen comes back, let him come to see me immediately." If done well, it may be possible to make the Northeast Army Group surrender. ”

Yuan Chenhao's brows jumped a few times.

"According to Mr. Xiang's words, when global public opinion turns, the Indian government will definitely be under a lot of pressure. Although we don't have to be too ambitious, in the country... With the intervention, India is likely to admit defeat in the northeast and surrender from the 72 "Army Group". What we need to do is to make relevant preparations. After the surrender of Army Group Northeast of the Indian Army, he took over the northeastern part of India. Providing for more than 300,000 soldiers with living disabilities is not a trivial matter, and several prisoner of war camps must be arranged, all of which must be prepared in advance. ”

"You can't let us do it all, can you?"

"The government is already urging Myanmar and is still intervening with Bangladesh. If Myanmar still refuses to send troops, Bangladesh will have to do more, and we will have to do more.

Yuan Chenhao smiled bitterly and said: "The Hong army is attacking Allah Abad, the sword army is about to reach Varanasi, and the airborne thug brigade is about to be dispatched, our transportation capacity is very tight, how can we have so much strength to take care of more than 300,000 prisoners of war." If possible, it is better to let the Indian army surrender later".

"It's not something we can decide."

"Yes, I'll try to be as strict as possible."

Pei Chengyi nodded and didn't talk to Yuan Chenhao again.

When the front-line command adjusts its deployment. Thousands of kilometers away, a business jet carrying US Secretary of State Jake Sullivan landed on the runway of Charles de Gaulle International Airport. He was greeted not by the President of France or by the Prime Minister of France, but by a senior official of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Sullivan has not yet met the French president, but the French government's reception has disheartened Sullivan.

On the way from the airport to the presidential palace, Sullie had been thinking about a problem.

Why would those bastards in the country mess up such a simple thing?

After the war in Japan, relations between the European Union and the United States gradually drifted apart, and the reasons for this are very complex. For example, the US monopoly of the Indian market has made several major European conglomerates very angry, and it has also made European voters who expect to find a high-paying job when the economy begins to recover. Another example is that the United States has been secretly obstructing political integration in Europe. Let France, Germany, Italy and other European powers that actively promote the political reunification of the EU be wary of the United States, and even let several major EU member states conspire to kick the pro-American Britain out of the EU; Another example is the use of NATO by the United States against Russia. Let those EU member states with dual identities have to bear the wrath of Russia on behalf of the United States. This has led to a deterioration of the security situation in Europe.

The Chinese factor cannot be ignored either. Contrary to the United States' opposition to the EU's political integration, China has always supported the EU's political integration process, except for small and inconsequential actions when interests conflict. During Wang Yuanqing's visit to European countries in the year of his imprisonment, the Chinese president promised the French president, the German chancellor, and the Italian prime minister that there would be no change in the EU's seat at the United Nations after the integration was realized. China still recognizes the status of EU member states in the United Nations and actively supports the EU in playing a greater role in international affairs.

Removing these superficial phenomena, it is the economic issues that affect the EU's position. After the global Great Depression receded, countries around the world have lowered their trade thresholds one after another, and trade has recovered rapidly. In addition to continuing to compete with the United States for markets and resources on a global scale, China has first lowered the trade threshold for its allies and helped them get out of their economic difficulties by signing bilateral or regional multilateral trade agreements, and secondly, it has lowered trade barriers against the EU and increased trade with the EU. In order to win over the European Union. China has even unilaterally opened up some of its domestic goods market to the EU. This series of trade policies has greatly improved China's relations with the EU. It has provided employment opportunities for tens of millions of Europeans and has had an impact on the politics of EU member states. Not to mention, after the end of the Great Depression, among the EU member states, the left-wing parties of the old member states changed from opposition parties to ruling parties, and the three countries in which the right-wing parties retained power were the Czech Republic, Hungary and Belgium, and these three countries did not have much influence in the EU. Regime change will inevitably lead to a full-fledged shift in foreign policy, and it is inevitable that the EU will move closer to China.

Compared to China's economic and trade policies, the policies of the United States are hardly comparable. In addition to competing with China for markets and resources on a global scale, the United States does not dare to open its own market to the European Union, which is eager to revitalize its economy through exports, as China has done. The reason is simple, "Made in America" and "Made in Europe" have a lot in common, and if the domestic market is opened, EU companies can use the huge profits obtained in the Chinese market to drive down the prices of goods exported to the United States, squeeze American companies, and make tens of millions of voters lose their jobs. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are in power to make voters lose their jobs in order to win over the EU. China does not have such a problem, at least not as prominent as the United States, because China has long occupied the commanding heights of science and technology, and has relatively little commonality with the EU in the industrial chain, and the goods exported by the EU to China are either cheaper, or Chinese enterprises do not produce, and basically there will be no problem of competing for jobs with Chinese workers, and the Chinese government naturally does not need to think too much about the negative impact of trade on its own economy.

After Brambenno came to power, he engaged in "industrial revitalization", hoping to promote the industrial exhibition with the help of science and technology. Avoid direct competition with the European Union and make the United States an industrial power on the same level as China.

The problem is that any plan takes enough time to produce results.

When the EU set a deadline for achieving political integration, the United States was unable to adjust its policies in a timely manner due to domestic factors, and had no choice but to find ways to obstruct the EU's political integration process. Although it is influenced by factors such as ethnicity, culture, religion, values, ideology, etc. The United States and Kuang Erran are very close, but Sullivan knows that the United States cannot adjust the two in time to meet the political needs of the European Union, and the United States and the European Union will part ways sooner or later. Ethnicity, culture, and religion are only superficial phenomena, not inner essences. You know, both world wars were led by the inherent contradictions of the Western world. Caucasians are not monolithic.

In a few days in London, Sullivan personally felt the changes in Ou Zhesheng.

Although Britain has always been America's most loyal ally and its most important ally, France, Germany, Italy and other countries have become tired of dissent over Britain's political integration. If it had not been for the official start of negotiations for Britain to join the eurozone after the war in Japan, I am afraid that Britain would have been kicked out of the European Union. France, Germany, Italy and other countries have proposed a specific timetable for achieving political integration, setting a deadline of two distillation years, targeting the United Kingdom. According to the timetable, if the UK is not able to start negotiations for joining the political integration before the end of the year. The EU will leave Britain behind and take the lead in implementing regional political integration of an exclusive nature. Judging from the difficulties encountered by Britain in the negotiations to join the eurozone, if it misses the first wave of political integration, it will encounter even greater difficulties in joining the EU family in the future.

On the issue of "joining Europe" or "joining the United States". The attitude of the British government is ambivalent.

The Labour government has not completely abandoned the policy of following the United States, the question is, how much benefit can be gained by following the United States? Although Sullivan, on behalf of Bran, made it clear that he would support Britain on the issue of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands in the Falkland Islands and do everything possible to suppress Argentina, Britain was not concerned about the desert island in the South Atlantic, but about how to keep up with the pace of world economic recovery and ensure Britain's international status.

In other words, if the UK is abandoned by the EU. Even if it remains a permanent member of the Security Council, it is still a nuclear power recognized by the whole world. Affected by factors such as the difficulty of economic development, the adoption of unilateral policies, and the lack of vitality of national development, it is very likely that Britain will be reduced from the current second-rate power to a third-rate country within the next few years. When the time comes. Even if Britain remains a leading country, its international influence will be greatly reduced, and national interests will be affected.

I have to admit that Britain is standing at a fork in the road.

France, Germany, Italy and other countries are offering huge prices for the UK's entry into the eurozone. It is precisely to use economic problems to suppress Britain. Let Britain make concessions on political integration, and even force Britain to change course, get rid of the United States, and join the European family.

When he met with Sullivan, the British minister was very ambivalent.

In fact, it is not only the British prime minister who is in conflict, but all British people.

Before the negotiations with other EU member states to join the eurozone, Sky TV conducted a questionnaire survey, although the British believe that maintaining friendly relations with the United States can ensure the national security of the United Kingdom to the greatest extent, but the false British believe that joining the European family can promote the British economy.

Safety, or economy?

Britain must choose between these two issues.

If it were before the force, the British would not hesitate to choose the former. But now, the vast majority of Britons will hesitate before choosing, and then the majority of Britons will choose the latter.

Labour's ability to defeat the Conservatives in the general election was a choice made by the British.

Although the Labour Party did not perform well in the financial crisis that broke out this year, it made a series of mistakes in the ensuing global economic depression, and was subsequently defeated by the Conservatives in the general election and became an opposition party. But the Conservatives fared worse than Labour during the Great Depression, and British voters eventually chose Labour. And the fact that the Labour Party can once again become the ruling party has a lot to do with the direction of the British economy.

According to the concept of most Britons, if they lose the economy, even if they get safe, Britain is a third-rate country.

More Britain believes that if Britain is reduced to a third-rate country, it will not only not be respected by European countries, but will also lose the attention of the United States. Only a Britain with a strong economy can have sufficient say in the country and effectively safeguard its national interests.

In response to this situation, the opposition Conservative Party has taken the lead in adjusting its political program and shouting the slogan of joining the European family.

Can a Labour government remain indifferent?

Things in Britain have given Sullivan a headache, and he now has to deal with France, which has never bowed to the United States.

After receiving a call from Blanche, Sullivan was not very optimistic about the trip to Paris.

If public opinion is more favorable to the United States, perhaps there is some hope for the trip to Paris.

Now the question is. Public opinion is very unfavorable to the United States, and the expected international pressure is not aimed at China, but at India and the United States, which is standing behind India.

When Sullivan left London's Heathrow International Airport, more than 1,000 Britons protested at the airport, demanding that the United States immediately stop supplying weapons and equipment to India, withdraw military personnel stationed in India, and urge India to end the war as soon as possible and punish the murderers who caused the humanitarian disaster.

What does the Northeast of India have to do with the United States?

While Sullivan didn't have to give any explanation to the Britons holding placards, he had to make an explanation to the French president in Paris.

It's a tough job, and it's an impossible job.
