Chapter 765 Public Opinion War
This morning, Shang Kingdom's planes began to attack everywhere—this time the attack dropped not bombs, but newspapers!
In order to prevent countries from fooling and deceiving the people, and to disclose information, be open and honest, and win over the people of all countries, the Kingdom of Shang printed the real information (ahem, a little rhetoric) and spread it to surrounding countries.
This is a public opinion war, but don't underestimate the public opinion war. A correct and strong public opinion war can bring huge results.
For example, right now, Qu Youshu, the commander-in-chief of the Shao Kingdom, received newspapers pouring down from the sky on the border.
"Anyang Daily?" Qu Youshu looked at the newspapers flying all over the sky with a solemn expression. But he still unfolded the newspaper and read it.
The first edition, printed with pictures, shows the prosperous streets of Shang Kingdom, happy people, spacious and bright schools, and smiling faces. There is also a simple text description next to it - a happy life is around you, Shang Kingdom welcomes you.
From the second edition to the fourth edition, it introduces the story of the Kingdom of Shang going north to fight against the demon clan, and is equipped with simple pictures. There are pictures of night battles, pictures of airplanes and aircraft carriers, and pictures of aircraft carriers; of course, brutal battle scenes are indispensable.
There are a few more words at the end: Even though there are many difficulties and dangers, the Kingdom of Shang will defend the human race to the death, and will never let the monster race step over the Kingdom of Shang.
The soldiers of the Shang Kingdom are the Great Wall that will not fall down, sheltering thousands of people in the Shang Kingdom from wind and rain,
Let us work together to build brilliance. Shang Kingdom welcomes people with lofty ideals and sincerely invites talents from all over the world.
The fifth edition, however, printed the defeat of Shang Kingdom in the west, labeling Xing Guo, Cai Guo, and Wu Guo as traitors of the human race and lackeys of the monster race. Among them, the shadow of Zhengtian Mengwei behind him was also emphatically highlighted in large red fonts.
The sixth edition published things about Liu Guo.
The negotiation between Shang Wang Guo and Liu Guo seemed normal, but Shang Wang Guo's pen was hard, and he analyzed this matter in a new way.
You see, this incident first of all shows that there is disunity, intrigue, righteousness but only self-interest in the present, and there is no principle at all! Does such a human race have any hope of defeating the monster race?
Then he gave an example. For example, the Kingdom of Shang and the Kingdom of Tang devoted themselves to fighting the Yaozu, but they blocked the Yaozu from the border. However, Deng Guo and Feng Guo in the north of the Tang State were intriguing. As a result, both countries were conquered by the demon clan, and tens of millions of people turned into the demon clan's rations. Not only that, but now the monster race is driving straight in along here, constantly encroaching on the northern territory of the human race.
This is a bloody example.
In the end, I changed the style of writing: Now the Shang Kingdom is very tired, but Liu Guo wants to take Ziyan County from the hands of the Shang Kingdom at this time. What does Ziyan County mean? It means 60% of the social energy of the Shang Kingdom and 60% of the military energy.
Without Ziyan County, the Kingdom of Shang would not be able to block the attacks of the northern monsters.
But now, Liu Guo has turned his face... turned his face!
In the end, the pen changed again: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, why do you do this!
This newspaper is over. But when he saw this newspaper, Qu Youshu, Commander of the Shao Kingdom, had a serious expression on his face. "Okay, okay, what a business kingdom!"
Looking up again, there were still a few newspapers falling from the sky. Soldiers in the barracks were scrambling to pass them on, Qu Youshu gritted his teeth.
Slap in the face, really a slap in the face!
Just last night, Qu Youshu also said to the soldiers: The Kingdom of Shang expropriated and slaughtered the people recklessly. We attacked the Kingdom of Shang to save the local people.
As a result, Shang Wang Guo quickly produced evidence. Those pictures are ironclad evidence!
It is said that seeing is believing and hearing is not, but now it is better, there is a comparison! Qu Youshu could even see the weird eyes of the soldiers around him.
Gritting his teeth, Qu Youshu suddenly ordered, "Put away all the newspapers. These pictures and information are all fake!"
Is it fake? Soldiers probably have their own judgment - if it is fake, what do you do with it?
As soon as the public opinion war started, it showed strong vitality, and Shao Guo's elite troops began to waver. Seeing this, Qu Youshu had no choice but to suspend military operations and began to ask Emperor Shao for instructions.
In fact, when Qu Youshu received the newspaper in the hands of the soldiers and before sending the message, the plane had already dropped the newspaper on Shao's imperial capital.
Early in the morning, everyone in Shao Guochao hall had a newspaper in hand, the situation was very strange.
Emperor Shao Guo finished reading the newspaper, looked up and looked around, with a dignified expression: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to speak first. But all the people in the court class felt uneasy. Just a few days ago, Shao Guo said to the people, "The Kingdom of Shang is the devil, the shame of the human race, and the source of evil"; but this move of the Kingdom of Shang immediately caused earth-shaking changes.
Any fool can imagine that the people must be boiling now.
On the one hand, it is the information from Shao Guoguo, but the words are unsubstantiated; on the other hand, it is the newspaper distributed by Shang Kingdom, with pictures on it-this should be true!
In the silence, Zhan Tianlin, Minister of the Household Department of Shao State, stood up, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very easy to handle."
"Oh?" Everyone looked at Zhan Tianlin.
Zhan Tianlin smiled slightly, "The common people are blind. The Kingdom of Shang obviously wants to use this busyness to fight a public opinion war.
However, the Kingdom of Shang did not know that their propaganda could arouse the deepest greed in the hearts of the people.
A few days ago, I was still discussing with the generals about the rewards of the soldiers. I even complained to His Majesty about the tightness of the national treasury.
But right now, the Kingdom of Shang is bringing wealth to our eyes. We can completely use the wealth of the Shang Kingdom as rewards to inspire soldiers and people to go crazy.
We can promise the common people and soldiers that as long as they conquer the Kingdom of Shang, they can get half of the wealth of the Kingdom of Shang.
We can also promise to the people and soldiers that as long as they conquer the Shang Kingdom, they will enjoy a happy life in the future.
In addition, we have to explain to the people and soldiers that the Shang Kingdom adopted a policy of discrimination against different people, and foreign people could not obtain the living standards of the Shang Kingdom at all, and could only be slaves. The current wealth and affluence of the Shang Kingdom, etc., are all obtained by extracting the blood and sweat of foreign people. Find a few more 'miserable slaves' to speak out.
As long as we do a good job of propaganda, we can turn the people and soldiers into tigers and wolves. Speaking of which, Shang Kingdom's newspapers have brought us new opportunities. "
"Okay!" Emperor Shao was overjoyed, "Zhan Tianlin, temporarily promote you to be Deputy Prime Minister of Shao and Minister of the Household Department. You will be fully responsible for public opinion, publicity and other matters, and will be directly responsible to me."
"Yes, I must fulfill my mission!" Zhan Tianlin replied loudly; but he was muttering in his heart—this could be regarded as being ordered at a critical moment.
Here, Prime Minister Wan Shunde first came up to congratulate and praise a few words, and then said: "Your Majesty, Zhan Tianlin's idea is very good. I believe that this idea should be conveyed to other countries, so that everyone can form a united front."
"No!" Grand Master Ma Jianqi suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have two considerations. First, the Kingdom of Shang must be empty now, otherwise the Western Front would not be able to retreat again and again.
Second, since the Kingdom of Shang is empty, of course we have to think more about ourselves. If we can motivate the common people to become the masters of tigers and wolves, then the Shao Kingdom will have a great possibility to become the new overlord of the East of Yingzhou. "
What Ma Jianqi said seems to make sense. Emperor Shao's eyes immediately glowed with gold.
At the same time, almost all countries within 20,000 miles of Shang Kingdom received this "gift". Of course Liu Guo is not missing here!
What Liu Guo is most concerned about is the introduction of Liu Guo in the sixth edition. Under the propaganda of the Kingdom of Shang, Liu Guo became the evidence of "the human race is not united and hinders each other"; and then the newspaper of the Kingdom of Shang came to this conclusion:
If the human race wants to be strong, if it wants to completely drive out the monster race, and if it wants to avoid disasters forever, it must be unified. It can be summed up in one sentence - to fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside.
In addition to these, above and below every page of the newspaper there is this sentence:
Above it reads: Quotations from the Wise King: Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later.
Below it reads: Quotations from the Wise King: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
After reading the newspaper, Emperor Liu Guo's face turned livid: "What a Shang Kingdom, yes, very good. Come, order Prime Minister Han Yuanchang to continue the negotiation, but the conditions need to be changed. The replacement becomes: Shang Kingdom, in order to ask Liu Guo for help, This is how Ziyan County was ceded."
(It's almost the end of the month, please ask for a monthly pass. Do you want to roll?)
