Two hundred and forty-six, stirring up trouble

```

Seeking international support, the Berlin Government was naturally not only approaching Austria—virtually at the same time, governments across Europe received invitations from Berlin.

No one truly knew what was in their hearts, but publicly, everyone was righteously denouncing "robbers."

If spittle could kill, the Cossack cavalry of Russia would probably have already been wiped out.

While diplomacy was in motion, efforts to rally the public were not idle either. The Berlin Government bought pages in numerous newspapers, publishing photos of the Russian Army's atrocities, along with the heart-rending testimonies of survivors.

None of these performances were in vain, as the Berlin Government gained the sympathy of the European people. Public opinion overwhelmingly blamed the Russians, even pro-Russian media fell silent.

Many media outlets accepted the Berlin Government's invitation, dispatching war reporters to collect firsthand information on-site.
