Chapter 1041 Feiyan Land's Last Chance (5600)
Feiyandi, the full name should be the Feiyan Thirteen Nations Alliance, which is roughly divided into two alliances dominated by the Nirmasas bloodline and the Absalom bloodline. According to ancient customs, the place where the fifth energy level is located will be called the Royal Court.
The six places of Yuguang, Qinglin, Tengsha, Kongyu, Canqiu and Huiling ruled by the Nirmasas bloodline are the Upper Feiyandi, while the seven places of Huanghai, Tianhong, Qingting, Yanao, Lufeng, Yanyuan and Jiyan ruled by the Absalom bloodline are the Lower Feiyandi. The two sides have long been jointly ruling this country with the Sharsa River as the boundary.
The fifth energy level strongman of this generation of Feiyandi, the pupa Savaga Nirmasas, was born in Tengshadi, and the King of Ashes Dustyr Absalom was born in Yanyuandi.
The relationship between the two sides cannot be said to be bad, but they beat each other when they were young and there was a little friction.
But the two people with little friction are worried about the same thing recently.
That is the "public opinion offensive" from Silver Peak Territory.
Public opinion offensive - this word has appeared a long time ago. Its original most important purpose was to prevent the four major orthodox churches from intervening and to inspire local people to avoid troublesome management.
If there is no need for inheritance, no need to take care of future generations, and no need to consider the family, then the sublimator has almost no demand for ordinary people. But after all, the sublimator family is the norm in this world, so the state and other social forms still exist in the world, and controlling public opinion is still a big thing that needs the attention of the rulers.
But now, in this generation after the perpetual motion machine declaration, everything has changed.
The power of public opinion is getting stronger and stronger, and sociology is becoming more and more important, but many sublimator ruling groups have not noticed this... Just like Feiyandi, facing the continuous propaganda offensive of Silver Peak Territory, their weak media can't fight it at all.
If it was in the past, you can't beat it, the worst case is silence in the whole field, and continue after a while when the topic is over - but now, it is not so easy for officials of various countries to strangle the mouthpiece of the media. In the past, they only needed to threaten to silence or wait for the future.
Now, the worst that can happen is that people pack up their bags and apply for political asylum... Do you still dare to kill people?
If you kill someone and pull his soul back to life, or if he is pulled back to life by a perpetual motion machine in the future, and then make a news report, do you still want votes?
What's more, the silence in the past was just deceiving oneself. The problem was not solved, and the anger and disappointment of the people only faded instead of disappeared. But now, for voting, deceiving oneself is really deceiving oneself.
In theory, no matter what the public opinion in Yinfeng Territory says, Feiyandi should calm down, respond silently, solve the problem itself silently, and then strive to reverse the public opinion-after all, they are all Feiyandi people, and everyone is willing to believe Feiyandi.
But in fact, the public opinion war in Yinfeng Territory is far from that simple.
The first to speak out were some Feiyandi people who had been to Yinfeng Territory for work, travel, or visiting relatives and friends. After returning to Feiyandi, they will express their admiration for the cleanliness, civilization and safety of Yinfeng Territory to their relatives and friends around them - there are no thieves or bandits there, there is elegant music on the streets, free food and drinks and friendly and enthusiastic Yinfeng Territory people.
And these remarks will be accurately captured by the relevant media, and then extended and expanded, and then begin to "question" some of the actions of Feiyandi.
- Why are there still so many thieves in our local area?
- Why don't we have convenient public transportation?
- Why have our road conditions not changed for decades, so old and dirty?
- Why are our inspectors so unreasonable, so impatient and full of intimidation?
These are real and old problems that have troubled the people of Feiyandi for a long time.
It is completely normal for local media to directly use the current situation of Yinfeng Territory to question some inherent chronic diseases in Feiyandi. The only problem is that the intensity of this propaganda is too great, and there are obviously other forces behind it.
However, this kind of attack and questioning is now flooding among countries. Since Feiyandi has no ability to solve it, even if he knows that someone is making a big propaganda behind the scenes, he can only swallow his anger.
After all, he can't get angry, right? If he really gets angry, it will be funny.
——Officials in Feiyandi are angry all day long because of the statements of their domestic media!
——Why? Did the media say some false news or make false reports?
——No, they just repeated what they did in the past.
In order to prevent themselves from becoming a laughing stock from being incompetent, the public opinion department of Feiyandi can't even fight back.
This is also the reason why King Jin asked a group of ministers to come to hold a meeting.
But until the end, King Jin didn't hear any valuable suggestions from his ministers.
As for counterattack? What a joke, he didn't study journalism or sociology, how could he know how to fight back against such a light and powerless attack?
In order to avoid being seen as making a mountain out of a molehill, King Jin could only hold back his anger and wait for Feiyandi's own reforms to satisfy the people.
As long as Feiyandi's reforms can go smoothly and solve these problems left over from the past hundreds of years within a few years, the local people of Feiyandi will still be willing to believe them.
As long as they can keep their composure, Feiyandi doesn't need to fight a war of public opinion at all, and they can win naturally!
But, can they really keep their composure?
It's very difficult.
Because at this time, the second wave of the Silver Peak Territory's offensive appeared.
This time, it was the large-scale dumping of cheap goods by the Silver Peak Territory.
Specifically targeting the seven places of the Absalom bloodline, the Silver Peak Territory built a large market outside the border through the original "Western Mountain Gap", a military stronghold, which is also a port for communication between the two countries.
This market does not sell luxury goods, but sells various daily necessities and various furniture and electronic products, and even sells a large amount of cheap fresh food.
How cheap is it?
It is so cheap that even if you pay taxes across borders, it is more cost-effective to buy things!
This is not surprising, because there is a lack of high-quality arable land in Feiyan Land, and the food pressure is already very high, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Except for a few areas that can be purchased at a fair price, most other areas are quite expensive.
As for the intake of meat protein, Feiyan Land mainly relies on fish and beans. People who can really eat meat every day are definitely rich people in Feiyan Land.
Various practical furniture, such as electric fans, dehumidifiers and mosquito repellents, have been well received by the people of Feiyandi. The climate there is similar to that of Nanling, which is also hot, humid and full of insects. Similar products have always been in demand in the market, but most of the people who can make these appliances are in the City of Knowledge, and the City of Knowledge sells them at the price of specialties, which is very expensive.
Yinfengling sells normal goods, but reduces some functions and efficiencies, produces and sells them in large quantities, and sells them at a low profit but quick turnover. In an instant, it has captured almost all the target user groups in Feiyandi, and has labeled Yinfengling's products as "cheap and practical" in everyone's mind.
But the most terrifying thing is not this.
The most terrifying thing is that Yinfengling vigorously supports the local workshops in Feiyandi, invests in production in Feiyandi, establishes a large number of factories and workshops, and creates a lot of jobs.
It is not to build a branch company, but to really teach the locals how to make their own production lines... But how to teach? The technical level is not so easy to raise. Even if you want to teach, Feiyandi does not have enough resources to teach.
Therefore, these core factory workers and technicians, and even all the workshop executives, have to go to Yinfeng Territory to "study abroad".
And those who are willing to return to Feiyandi after seeing and experiencing the life in Yinfeng Territory can be said to be extremely patriotic.
But no matter how patriotic they are, they will admit that today's Feiyandi is too different from Yinfeng Territory.
Moreover, Yinfeng Territory is indeed extremely friendly. What they saw and heard in Yinfeng Territory, and all the civilized order they felt, made them feel deeply impressed.
Merchants are profit-seeking, but Yinfeng Territory does not want profit, but only fame.
At this point, the public opinion media in Feiyandi can hardly compete with the public opinion army of Yinfeng Territory in terms of influence. Even many Feiyandi media have been bought by Yinfeng Territory and become their mouthpieces.
But this mouthpiece does not need them to tell pure lies against their conscience - they only need to follow the pace of the Yinfeng Territory public opinion army and publish some soft articles about Yinfeng Territory, or articles reflecting on the institutional problems of Feiyandi.
The final blow came from the "network" of Silver Peak Territory.
Terminal network. This network management system originated in Canaanmore, then spread to the Empire and other places, and finally flourished in Silver Peak Territory. It is the key to the rapid growth of Silver Peak Territory.
Although other forces are well aware that the real reason for the rapid development of Silver Peak Territory is Ian Silver Peak himself and the legacy of Inaga II, the terminal network does allow Silver Peak Territory to manage a large population with very few people. This kind of auxiliary management tool is undoubtedly not to be abandoned.
The same is true for Feiyandi. In fact, before the declaration in 777, Feiyandi had obtained the manufacturing method of the terminal network through various means. They have cooperated with the Spirit Machinery Cult, and their technical level in this regard is actually not low.
As time goes by, the terminals in Feiyandi gradually begin to spread. Although it is still a valuable item that only the middle class can use, the small watch-type terminal invented by Yinfeng Territory is cheap and practical, portable and simple, and soon accelerated the popularization of terminals in Feiyandi.
This popularization is incredible.
In Feiyandi, many people actually don't know how the rich and powerful live - just like in the remote areas of the empire, many people have lived in poverty all their lives, and they don't know that the world they live in is actually the site of a post-apocalyptic end-century civilization. They don't know how big and high the imperial capital is, nor how magnificent the mobile royal court is.
But now, with the popularization of terminal networks, people at the bottom of the society can also know the lives of other people on the other side of the world.
Soon, half a year after Silver Peak Territory announced nine-year compulsory education, in the late spring of Terra 778, the last wave of public opinion offensive kicked off.
Thanks to the many functions that the pre-era civilization and Canaan Moore had already done, Ian didn't even need to spend much effort to easily create a large number of functions he was familiar with on the original architecture. For video uploading, he could even use the Heart of Terra as a server directly, and no one could ban it. The main feature was a real life sharing.
In just three months, the video sharing network of Silver Peak Territory was launched.
Fishermen in Whale Song Cliff, chefs in Silver Peak Territory. The shaman rituals of Jiuhan Silent Mountain, the daily life of the craftsmen of Gantrigum...
The less satisfied a person is with life, the more he will be stimulated by the lives of others.
The more possibilities a person knows, the more angry he will be because of the current situation.
It is precisely because they know the good deeds of others that the people of Feiyan are calling for reforms in their own government that are getting louder and faster.
At this point, the officials of Feiyandi, who were making steady improvements, have been completely overwhelmed by negative reviews and criticisms - and they are speechless, because just a few years ago, they were indeed the ones who ignored the people. The "old-era government" that suppresses people's movements, conducts human experiments openly, and goes to poor areas to buy lives.
On the battlefield of public opinion, Feiyandi lost extremely thoroughly.
But in fact, for Ian in his previous life, this kind of public opinion offensive can only be said to be a draw, and there are still many big moves that are useless.
However, just a level A was enough to beat the shit out of Terra's Feiyandi in this era.
"No, if this continues, when Grand Duke Yinfeng comes over and gives a shout-out, at least half of our people here will turn to him!"
Keen officials quickly noticed the number of immigrants in recent times, and the number of dissatisfied people is also increasing - many people are strongly demanding that tax-free food imports be opened to Yinfeng collar, but if this opening is really opened , Flying Fire Land, at least the Absalom bloodline is really about to lose its independence.
When all the food was in people's hands, Feiyandi simply changed its name to a subordinate of the Grand Duchy of Silver Peak, so Absalom could save it. Ian Yinfeng can also have several more titles, and the roll call time can be extended by more than ten seconds.
At this point, even if you know it is a bad choice, you have to make it.
In order to counterattack the increasingly powerful Silver Peak Leader, Feiyandi could only pick up the topics of 'historical contradictions' and 'war hatred' again.
Some supported Feiyandi media began to publicize the imperial biological warfare and the damage caused by various special warfare attacks, calling on the people to remember the historical contradictions and not forget the difference between ourselves and the enemy.
But this is fine for dealing with the empire line, but it is really wrong to deal with the Silver Peak Leader.
The General Political Bureau of the Silver Peak Territory expressed great disappointment with the hostile propaganda of the Flying Flame Land. They said that everything was a legacy of history. The empire of the war no longer existed. The imperial emperor Axel has now abdicated, and the Grand Duchy of Silver Peak The predecessor of Nanling Province at that time had never taken the initiative to attack Feiyandi, and was even the victim of Feiyandi's attack.
None of them mentioned the food disaster caused by Feiyandi's attack on the Silver Peak Territory and the hatred left over by various biological warfare. May I ask where Feiyandi got the courage to bring up this topic?
On Terra, it is true that the Silver Peak Leader makes more sense.
According to convention, a grand duchy with a fifth energy level, or a small force within a large force with a fifth energy level, can be regarded as a relatively independent entity. Nanling was indeed part of the empire before Ian's fifth level. It was normal for the two countries to be attacked during the war, but after Ian's fifth level, everything had to be calculated separately.
Theoretically speaking, King Jhin of the Flying Flame Land has to apologize to Ian, the Silver Peak Prophet, for the loss of Nanling!
"It's too much!"
At this point, let alone the fifth level, even low-level civil servants are going to get angry. King Jin crushed his terminal on the spot after seeing Silver Peak Leader's response in the terminal text message - it's not surprising. He has a bad temper, but as a fifth-level person, when has he ever been so aggrieved?
Fight back? How to fight back? The Yinfeng leaders didn't do anything. They just told the truth and reasoned, helped the Feiyan people find jobs, sold the Feiyan people cheap goods and food, and pointed out some of their trivial practical problems!
Even if the bad news about the Yinfeng Ling is publicized domestically, no one would think so, because no force in this world is perfect. Relatively speaking, the Yinfeng Ling has done a very good job, especially the first batch. All the children in compulsory education have completed their first semester, all the policies of Yinfeng collar have been successfully completed, and everything is prospering. How can this be lost and how can we be blamed?
Solve your own problems? How to deal with it? There are so many problems in Feiyan Land, such as inequality between rich and poor, and overpopulation. Can they be solved in a short time? The promotion channels in Feiyan Land are actually quite good. Ordinary people can also be trained and then become ascendants. The major royal legions even have many designated quotas for civilians, and nobles are not allowed to interfere.
But all of this pales in comparison to the arcane path education for everyone led by Yinfeng.
Lord Jhin is no fool. On the contrary, he is one of the smartest people in the world.
"I see."
Dark red eyes looked toward the southeast of the earth, the defense line led by Yinfeng. The man took a deep breath and calmed down: "This is Ian Yinfeng's purpose... As of now, I have lost. ”
"Your Majesty, we haven't lost yet!" After hearing this, some ministers wanted to step forward to explain, but King Jhin just waved his hand in boredom: "If there is no perpetual motion machine to vote, winning or losing is still a matter of uncertainty. In the meantime - the vast majority of people in Feiyan do not have the courage or determination to relocate with their families just because life is better elsewhere. "
"As long as we slowly reform, learn from Yin Feng Ling's approach, popularize the Austrian Way, strengthen the national medical system, and implement compulsory education for all, within ten years, the people will regain our confidence."
"The public opinion between the two countries is not so easy to completely overwhelm one side. There are too many people who will feel proud just because of the name Feiyan. The more the Silver Peak Territory publicizes, the more it will make people feel proud. They want to build this country.”
"But - it's too late."
The reason for everything lies in this point. King of Ashes slowly stood up.
He is an old man with gray hair but red eyes. He doesn't look old, and even has the muscles and face of a man at his strongest. The king, wearing a black robe with red edges, said in an unquestionable tone: "The perpetual motion machine vote will be in a year and a half at the fastest, and in five years at the slowest."
"Such a long time is enough for another generation to grow up... another generation of people living in the shadow of Silver Peak Territory to grow up."
"At that time, will everyone look forward to the future led by Silver Peak Territory or the future led by us? Even you who support me the most, I'm afraid you can't make a choice against your will."
"Don't forget, my dear ministers... our real goal is the perpetual motion machine."
"We have already lost in this most core goal."
How could these ministers not know what King of Ashes said?
However, they have long been completely bound to the interests of the kings of Feiyan Land, and there is no possibility of them defecting to Silver Peak Territory... Even if they know they have already lost, they have to persist until the last moment.
"But, that kid Yinfeng still gave me one last chance."
Lowering his head and staring at his palm, King of Ashes said slowly: "Or rather, he did so much to force me to choose this opportunity."
"A decent opportunity."
"A prophet who will never fail... the holder of the best public opinion in this world. Haha, he is forcing me step by step, just like trapping prey into a trap, forcing me to use the last resort of civilization... that is, 'force'!"
Speaking of this, King of Ashes even laughed. He clenched his fists, and the invisible flames burned the luxurious royal robe around him, revealing the armor made of red gold crystals under the royal robe.
"In this world that worships the strong and the strongest, as long as I can propose a future that is feasible enough and defeat the prophet Yinfeng, I can turn defeat into victory!"
"This is the last chance he left for me."
