"No, war is moral. War without morality can't go on at all. You don't talk about it, but some people talk about it." The editor refused at this time.

"This article is very good, and the people of Qin will think about it seriously. There are too few articles like this. If we continue to write about the violence of war, it will only make more people not understand war. They think that war is simply murder and violence. Weakness The person cannot survive. This method is wrong and cannot attract the attention of others. This is not news, nor is it something that journalists should do. We have to be worthy of ourselves.” The editor said at this time.

The editor-in-chief didn't say a word at this time, he just looked at each other.

"Such an article. You will not post it. I will find a place to post it." The editor said when he picked up his manuscript.

"Qin people will not read such an article." The editor-in-chief said while looking at the other party.

The editor left without saying anything.

The people of Qin are really very combative. When they are warlike, they are willing to watch a lot of war-related matters. Of course, the more detailed the description, the better. They are willing to study tactics, strategies, weapons, and combat styles. But it has never been related to the situation of civilians in the combat area.

In fact, every time Qin State went east to Hangu Pass, it would cause great civilian losses to the six countries. These civilian losses were buried in the Qin Army's strong military strength and fruitful results.

Qin always fought on the territory of other countries and rarely fought on his own territory. In this way, Qin's mainland would not suffer from wars, and Qin would become more and more prosperous. Unlike other countries, they suffered a powerful blow from the Qin army, and such blows occurred on their own land, and the casualties of the people were often lost heavily under the blow of Heyang.

The loss of population leads to a further decline in national power, because it will take at least two decades for the population to recover. In an agricultural era, the size of the population is directly related to the strength of the country.

"I have an article." The editor said to another editor in chief while sitting in a pub. The editor-in-chief just looked at each other.

"What article?" the editor-in-chief asked at this time.

"About, massacre." The editor looked up at the other party at this time, and then took a sip of the wine in the glass he held up in his hand.

"Massage?" the editor-in-chief on the opposite side asked at this time.

"Yes." The editor said at this time.

"Our editor-in-chief thinks that the people of Qin are not interested in such a topic at all, but I think this is a topic that can arouse the interest of people of Qin. You know, people of Qin have also been massacred before. And the prime minister also erected a monument in Changping. Various things. Said that the prime minister supports such things. Qin's national policy has undergone a fundamental change. We Qin people also need to change. Therefore. "The editor picked up his wine glass and drank it in one sip.

"Therefore, this topic can attract the attention of the people of Qin. This is a sensitive topic, massacre. Think about it, our Qin army also massacred opponents, so what? Nothing was said." The editor said at this time.

"However, the Six Nations are different, and the Six Congresses scold us. Now, our Qin State is very reasonable, and it is not out of the world. Now, we need to report such things and let them see that the people of Qin State are not so intentional. Concealed." The editor said at this time.

"En." The editor nodded in approval.

"What you said makes sense." The editor continued.

"But if such an article is published, what would the people of Qin think? This will cause a huge wave of waves. Everyone will discuss this matter. It is very likely that our newspaper will be blocked." The editor-in-chief of this Time said.

"So, you need to decide on this matter yourself. I have found a lot of newspapers, and many of them refused to agree. They are just afraid of being discussed. We journalists, are we still afraid of being discussed? We just want to reflect the facts. , To restore the true wish to everyone to know, let everyone understand what happened outside? This matter, how should we do it." The editor said.

"If you are timid, don't do it. I will find another family to do it." The editor said at this time.

"No. No. Let's publish this matter." At this time, the editor-in-chief stopped the editor who had stood up, and then sat down. For him, this matter has just begun.

It was half past two in the morning. The editor-in-chief is still walking back and forth in his office.

He kept looking at the clock. And he himself has not made up his mind how to do it.

"Boom." Just when the editor was uncertain. There was a knock on the door.

"In," the editor-in-chief said a little impatiently at this time.

"Editor-in-chief. The manuscript for tomorrow morning. Is it finalized? We want to typeset and print it out as soon as possible." A supervisor in the printing workshop asked in a low voice.

"Oh." The editor nodded at this time.

"How long do you have?" the editor-in-chief asked at this time.

"Also." The workshop supervisor said while looking at his watch.

"There are still ten minutes. We have to typeset it out." The workshop supervisor said at this time.

"En." The editor nodded at this time.

"So, this way." This time. The editor said.

"You give me five minutes. Five minutes will do." The editor said with five fingers at this time.

"Then, that's all right." This time. The workshop supervisor nodded helplessly. At this time, the editor-in-chief still did not make up his mind to publish this article, because he didn't know how much disaster would be caused after such an article was published.

"Tick and tick." Time passed quickly, and five minutes would soon pass. And this time. The editor-in-chief is still not determined to complete such a publication plan. And the workshop supervisor kept looking at the watch on his wrist.

"If you don't send it again at this time. It's too late." The workshop supervisor said anxiously.

"What?" the editor asked puzzledly.

"Time. Time." The workshop supervisor said, pointing to the clock on the wall at this time.

"Oh." At this time, the editor-in-chief said oh.

"I want to ask you a question?" At this time, the editor-in-chief was still undecided.

"Is it good news to post news material that has never been before?" At this time, the editor-in-chief picked up the article and asked.

"This." The workshop supervisor anxiously wanted to accept the manuscript at this time, but the editor in chief took the manuscript away again at this time.

"I think this should be good news. Because people always want to see other people's different things. Then tell them. In short, I don't know. But I know that only things that don't have can be called news." Workshop At this time, the supervisor anxiously wanted to accept the manuscript and said.

"En." The editor nodded at this time.

"Only this manuscript. This article should be placed on the front page. The letters should be large." The editor-in-chief said at this time.

"This is the article that caused a huge sensation." The editor-in-chief said at this time.

"Ah." The workshop supervisor looked at the article in surprise at this time.

"That's it. Go ahead." The editor-in-chief looked at each other as if relieved.

"Good." The workshop supervisor nodded at this time. Then he left quickly and rushed to the workshop.

Six o'clock the next morning. Some working newspaper boys put the newspapers one after another at the door. And people have not got their morning papers yet.

"Ah." At this time, a man from Qin State hit Hatch and picked up his own newspaper in his pajamas.

"I don't know what is going to happen today?" Qin State man said at this time.

Then he opened the newspaper and looked.

"Massacre, this is a war crime!" The man of Qin State said when he saw the headline.

"What article is this?" Qin Guo man read curiously.

"Oh. My goodness." After reading this article. The man from Qin State exclaimed in surprise.

And there are many people who have this idea, many people after reading such articles. All fell silent. They haven't spoken for a long time.

The Palace of the Prime Minister of the State of Qin. After a busy night. After the nap, Meng Yi was drinking morning tea, and he was waiting for his breakfast. He rarely has such time to wait for his own breakfast. Meng Yi needs a kind of relaxation of self. He is reading "Xianyang Morning Post", which is the newspaper that published this important article.

"Let me see, what will happen today?" Meng Yi said, looking at the front page headline.

"Oh." Meng Yi just said oh. Then I looked at what the front page headlines were saying.

"War. War has always been like this, civilian casualties are unavoidable. There are more people who die in war, and war crimes will never be cut off." Meng Yi continued.

"There are many things like this that no one can manage. Even the State of Qin can't manage it." Meng Yi said. Then he turned the newspaper to a new page, and the article passed.

Xianyang Palace.

"Bird. Such an article still needs to be posted. Such a chief editor, the editor should be cut off." King Qin felt very disgusted with such content. He believed that such an article would spend a lot of time describing the cruelty of war. The article is purely cheating money. Waste of feelings. King Qin is already the kind of person who lacks normal human feelings. For some things, he has no opinion. War is meant to kill people. It's just that the method of death is different.

The people of Qin State in Xianyang of Qin State are also discussing such articles.

"I think the Zaobao publication of such an article is simply a waste." said a middle-aged Qin countryman.

"Yes. I think so too, bird. It's a waste." Many people from Qin State conformed to the Tao at this time.

"How can you survive a war? Think about it. Is this normal?" a Qin countryman said.

"Furthermore. War is meant to kill people, not only soldiers, but also civilians. Who let the civilians participate." A young Qin countryman said.

"Yes. That's right." Many Qin people met. Qin State did this in previous wars. Naturally they think so. This is the characteristic of Qin State. However, from the reaction point of view, people in Qin are generally not very optimistic about this article. They believe that it is inevitable that civilians will be harmed. This is a disaster. can not avoid.

At a later time. Shang Wen and Han Shu sat in the sun, while Shang Wen took a telegram from Qin State and printed it in South Korea for the front page of the "Xianyang Morning Post". Shang Wen was instantly attracted. Perhaps because the Mohists care about the affairs of Qi, Shangwen also feels that he is very concerned about the affairs of Qi.

Shang Wen read the newspaper with ease at first, but the more he reads, the more his brows tighten.

"Wow." After reading it. Shang Wen immediately threw the newspaper on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Han Shu suddenly felt something was wrong and asked immediately.

"Huh." Shang Wen exhaled heavily.

"Nothing?" Shang Wen said at this time.

"En." Han Shu who got the answer just nodded at this time. Did not say anything.

Han Shu just silently picked up the newspaper that Shang Wen had thrown on the ground, and looked at what Shang Wen had just turned over.

And Shang Wen just sat silently and motionless.

"En. It turned out to be this article, do you think Chu people have done too much?" Han Shu asked at this time. Shang Wen did not answer. Han Shu thinks this is Shang Wen's acquiescence.

"The article is well written, but if people don't attract attention, then this article will be invalid. Shangwen, you can have such an idea. However, I don't think the people of Qin are necessarily." Han Shu continued.

"What do you mean?" Shang Wen was said by Han Shu at this time. Immediately aroused great interest.

"It's very simple. The people of Qin have been waging wars. The wars they waged have destroyed many families. Such things are not uncommon." Han Shu said.

"On the contrary, the people of Qin people see such articles and think it is justified. They think that war is like this. They are different from you. War is war, and there is no morality." Han Shu continued.

"En." Shang Wen nodded in approval with a frown.

"So, this article, if there is no response from the people of Qin, it is estimated that it will not have a big response." Han Shu said.

"En." Shang Wen said kindly.

"I don't know what you think. However, this matter has only these effects on Qin." Han Shu analyzed in this way.

"En." Shang Wen just nodded silently at this time. For the atrocities of the Chu army. Shangwen hates it very much. The army is originally a violent machine. If it is not controlled, it will harm civilians. For Shangwen, this practice of harming civilians is an unacceptable fact.

But now, this matter cannot be stopped. Journalists, of course, have a lot of courage to report such a thing, but the article must resonate tremendously. If there is no resonance, or guidance, the expected effect will not be achieved. .

"Atrocities must be stopped." Shang Wen said to himself.

"Qin people believe that such a good thing should happen. There is no way to stop it," Han Shu said.

"En." Shangwen then fell into silence. He was thinking about how to take advantage of this incident.

Just like this, Shang Wen was silent for a long time. And Han Shu kept looking at Shang Wen. Shangwen, who is lost in thought, has the qualities that a mature man should have. calm. Perseverance. Han Shu did not see it.

"I remember, you seem to have said that diplomatic means should be used to solve Qi's problems, right?" Shangwen asked at this time.

"Yes." Han Shu nodded and agreed at this time.

"That's right," Shang Wen said at this time.

"I think we should participate in this matter. Moreover, according to your analysis, Qin Guo really wants to participate in it now. Then, I think we can make good use of this condition to arrange it." Shang Wen said.

"Set it up?" Han Shu asked Shangwen.

"Yes." Shang Wen replied.

"Set it up." Shang Wen said.

"I think South Korea can take advantage of this incident to publicize, and think that such a practice that hurts civilians is very inhumane. This is a violation of human rights, a disrespect for life, and a disrespect for property. Kind of plunder." Shang Wen analyzed morally.

"Right." Han Shu agreed with Shang Wen's words.

"And South Korea just used this kind of thing to call on the Chu army to stop the atrocities, and then invite Qin to participate in it. In this way, Qin can smoothly find an excuse to enter it." Shang Wen said at this time.

"En." Han Shu nodded silently in agreement.

"In this way, the State of Qin can smoothly guide public opinion. If they want to enter this matter, they should guide the public opinion direction of this matter." Shang Wen said.

"I think that Qin State can enter this matter smoothly at this time, and we only need to respect Qin State." Han Shu said.

"Yes. Just follow the Qin people's meaning." Shang Wen continued. Then Han Shu and Shang Wen began to develop a new plan. At this time, public opinion quickly adopted an oblivious attitude towards this matter. The way the war hurts civilians has made many civilians reluctant to think of such scars. After a war breaks out, there will be many civilians. Died, no civilians were killed in that war.

"For the atrocities committed by the Chu army in Qi. This king strongly condemns this." Han Shu temporarily convened a press conference. The reporters pressed the shutter and quickly recorded.

"The Chu army killed innocent civilians and prisoners of war. In the war zone, they robbed civilians of their property, and even worse, insulted women." Han Shu looked at the reporter and said.

"This is a brutality. This is a brutality against civilians and what they want." Han Shu said with some excitement. The reporters quickly pressed the shutter.

"Civilians are innocent. War is a matter between soldiers. The killing of civilians is shameless. In this regard, South Korea is very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Chu army, although the war took place in Qi." Han Shu continued. .

"However, respect for civilians and protection of civilians are the last creed that every soldier should abide by. The Chu army has crossed this creed. Then they are not soldiers, robbers, bandits, and bullies. South Korea will send an invitation to Qin. , To come forward together to deal with this matter, for the common people. I think we have an obligation to deal with this matter.” Han Shu said.

And in the prime minister's house. Meng Yi is still busy, he is processing some documents, these documents come from the north. Because the State of Qin shut down a large number of small coal mines, this caused great losses to the northern economy. The most important thing was coal mining. Only a handful of large coal mining companies carried out mining, and none of the others started work. This has caused some workers to be unemployed. And this state is to show that the situation in the north of Qin State is a bit unstable. Meng Yi wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

"Boom." Just when Meng Yi was thinking about this matter. There was a knock on the door.

"That's it." At this time, the Minister of Economy said.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked.

"I don't know, did the prime minister read the morning newspaper?" the Minister of Economy asked at this time.

"Look. What's the matter?" Meng Yi asked puzzledly.

"In the newspaper, there is one thing that can involve Qin Guo." The Minister of Economy said.

"What's the matter?" Meng Yi still asked puzzledly.

"It's about Qin State's participation in Qi State." The Minister of Economy said at this time.

And Meng Yi shook his head. Looking at the Minister of Economy in confusion.

"There are too many things. Or I am too busy. I don't know what you mean?" Meng Yi asked.

"The Chu army killed civilians in Qi, and there were a large number of prisoners of war. This incident was reported by our reporter. The South Korean side also saw such reports. The problem is that we did not expect to take advantage of this incident." The Minister of Economy passed the Korean Telegram in his hand to Meng Yi.

"However, the Koreans thought about it. They issued such an invitation." The Minister of Economy said. And Meng Yi looked at the Minister of Economy, then opened the telegram to look.

"Oh. Damn." Meng Yi immediately put down the telegram after reading it and looked for the morning newspaper.

"The prime minister. This one." As he said, the Minister of Economy handed a newspaper in his hand to Meng Yi.

"It's this newspaper that let us find Chu Jun. In this way, we can participate in it," said the Minister of Economy.

"The people of Chu are smart, they thought of this. And we turned a blind eye to such news. It was a miracle." Meng Yi said at this time.

"Then the Prime Minister, what should we do?" said the Minister of Economy.

"What should I do?" Meng Yi asked.

"Are we Qin participating, and if so, what should we do?" said the Minister of Economy, waving his arms.

"I really don't know what to do?" the Minister of Economy said.

"What we have to do now is to discuss with the South Korean side, how should this matter be handled specifically?" Meng Yi said calmly.

"The other thing is, we have to inform the king of this matter. If the king knows about this matter, it will definitely have a big impact." Meng Yi continued.

"Yes." The Minister of Economy said.

"But we can't send troops." The Minister of Economy said.

"If you send troops, it will increase military expenditure. We'd better not send troops." The Minister of Economy said worriedly.

"This, I understand". Meng Yi patted the other person on the shoulder and said.
