Chapter 1414 Cultural Power Strategy

,

"This is the most tense confrontation between the navies of the United States and the Soviet Union since the Cuban Missile Crisis." On TV, the host of the BBC broadcast the latest current affairs news in a solemn tone, but in the eyes of many cynical people, this is just selling money. anxiety.

The scene turned to reveal the latest developments in the India-Pakistan war. “Whether it was India or Pakistan, the armies of both sides committed widespread human rights violations in this war, and the Bangladeshis at the battlefield were the most direct victims. According to what foreign correspondent Marlowe saw with his own eyes, Indian soldiers...and Pakistan..."

"According to the latest news, the fundraiser for Ms. Vivien Leigh, chairman of the Commonwealth Actors Guild, has been sent out of Hong Kong. The holy soul will not fade over time..."

The sound of news reports passed through the empty living room and reached the bathroom with the door half open. Obviously, the war situation inside was not inferior to the India-Pakistan war at all.

Alan Wilson walked out holding Princess Margaret in his arms. The limited-edition luxury classic car had turned pink. The water on their bodies was still wet, but they were still arguing with each other.

"Pamela is not here, I have an obligation to keep an eye on you." As the man sat down, Princess Margaret fell on the sofa, and water stains appeared on the leather sofa.

"Aren't I being looked at very closely? If you said you were feeling blocked, wouldn't I be here right away?" Alan Wilson held Princess Margaret's head with wet hair in her hand, and her words were filled with emotion. Cooperate.

It is his duty to serve the royal family. Since his sister-in-law is stuck in traffic, it is normal for him to come over and help with the call. While talking, Alan Wilson took the remote control to change the channel. When Vivien Leigh's news came to the end, he changed the channel. The program "Knife Forging Competition" has just become a craze.

This classic program of later generations has caused a craze. Vivien Leigh is selling the copyright and is currently negotiating with Canada and Australia. Of course, it doesn't matter even if it can't be sold, it's not like we can't see British programs.

"That's all very nice. Would you have come over if I didn't call you?" The pink car body has gradually faded, and Her Royal Highness's body is returning to the color of the classic original leather. She grasps the handle of the supreme authority and thinks that the tenderness and sweetness on her lips are authentic. It’s still unknown.

"Look, it was clearly fine just now." Alan Wilson had to lower his head to persuade him, and it took a while for Her Royal Highness to understand his difficulties.

Although Alan Wilson works hard to balance public and private matters, he still needs some understanding, otherwise no one can withstand high-intensity dedication, even if he is very dedicated.

Once upon a time, he never thought that one day, he would be a devotee.

This is true whether it is for the country or for private individuals.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Princess Margaret asked her brother-in-law, who had the same status as her husband, with an expression that seemed to forgive him.

"Gather with the opposition Conservative Party friends and see how to criticize this government in the House of Commons." Alan Wilson showed his white teeth. This is what the opposition party should do. Specifically, the Labor Party is too soft in power. If the Conservative Party is in power Promote my British prestige.

The Labor Party believed that it was too dangerous, and that the Royal Navy fleet in Malaya was too old. No one was convinced in terms of tonnage, but it was a fleet dominated by battleships and artillery destroyers.

So this leads to the next issue. The Labor Party does not care about Britain's defense capabilities and ignores Britain's overseas rights and interests.

When the Yangon government asked the UK to prevent the refugee crisis from erupting, the Labor government did not respond. When Washington asked the UK to help, the government avoided it.

Rumors that Harold Wilson himself was a Soviet spy were circulating in the streets, and the Conservative Party opened fire, making this rumor seem to be resurrecting.

The confrontation between the U.S. Navy and the Soviet Red Navy in the Bay of Bengal, the first day...the second day, and the third day, then Whitehall came to the conclusion that at least in the Bay of Bengal, the two countries were afraid of each other.

Alan Wilson bought a newspaper on his way to work. The report on it was, "According to insiders who did not want to be named, a consensus has been formed within the Indian army that the Pakistani defenders must pay a price for the Pakistani massacre of Bengalis. Soldiers must be judged.”

This report is almost like saying that Germany and Japan must surrender unconditionally just after the United States entered the war. The biggest significance is of course the opposite, allowing the Pakistani defenders to resist as much as possible until the last moment.

East Pakistan, which was obviously attacked from three sides and whose waters had been blocked, had gathered all the conditions needed by the defeated. But Alan Wilson did not want Pakistan to be defeated so early, even if it took ten days and a half longer, which would give Britain more time.

There is no way, Britain is also an electoral country. When things happen, you always need to smoke and drink, and things related to the military often require prompt decisions.

At least the UK has the ability to spread rumors and at the same time let the rumor information be heard by the people who should hear it. As for the truth or falsehood, it doesn’t matter. Didn’t I say it? Sources who don’t want to be named, I, Britain, value privacy so much. Of course it cannot be revealed.

In the Office of the Cabinet Secretary, Anthony Brandt came belatedly. He has many titles. He is a British art historian and an authority on British art. He serves as a professor at Trinity College, Cambridge University. He has been awarded the Royal Victoria Medal and so on. He is also a member of the royal family. An important artistic advisor, and also a member of the Cambridge Five overseas.

In fact, the most flamboyant of the Cambridge Five were Donald MacLean and Burgess. Of course, both of them paid the price for their flamboyant youth. They both died of illness one after another due to excessive drinking and openness.

One look at the two of them and they cannot be compared with the supreme authority. They are equally arrogant and unbridled. These two proletarian warriors left us early. He is the spokesman of the bureaucratic class, the husband and brother-in-law of the feudal class wife, and the bourgeois lady. As men of the same status as their husbands, they have nothing to do now, although their energy is indeed incomparable with that of when they were twenty years old.

"Sir Anthony, please sit down." Alan Wilson reached out his hand when he saw the visitor, expressing his respect for the royal art advisor. After waiting for the other party to sit down, he said, "Let me explain first that inviting Sir here is to explain the implementation of the government's concept of a cultural power. Sir, you should know something about the implementation and concept of a cultural power."

In a short period of time, Alan Wilson was unable to find a way out for Britain in industry. Britain had the automobile industry, the shipbuilding industry was still there, semiconductors were supported by Whitehall, and the colonies were not lost. What else do you want him to do?

Under the current situation, Alan Wilson can only bring up the concept of a cultural power when facing the Prime Minister's consultation on economic issues. Taking Paris, the capital of France, his old rival, as an example, people all over the world like to go there. France and Italy can sell these nonsense luxury goods at high prices with no barriers to entry. The wines exported by their countries are expensive.

After much deliberation, I can only give it a try in terms of soft power, which is the so-called concept of cultural power. Cultural power was not practiced by more than one country in later generations, and there were quite a few regional hegemons.

For example, Turkey and Mexico, famous TV drama powers, have the same status as the United States and the Soviet Union in the field of TV dramas during the Cold War.

As for the hegemon in East Asia, at least it was still South Korea at that time. Although Japan also had its glory for a while, the U-turn in national power will affect all aspects of a country. From the data point of view, Japanese dramas and Japanese music, not to mention TV dramas, are compared with South Korea. Can't beat Chinese dramas.

The so-called cultural export, almost all countries export it quantitatively. If you export the Confucius Institute, you are destined to be unable to beat the Korean singing and dancing group. You yourself are willing to read The Analects of Confucius, but you expect people from other countries to read it?

Even in the UK today, it is impossible to export Shakespeare. Many opera houses rely on blood transfusions from Whitehall. The suspension of subsidies has increased the unemployment rate. Considering the types of opera in a large country, who can support themselves? Just give Yu Opera a try, it is already in the best situation.

Everyone wants a France that can stand and make money, but how many Frances are there? It is so easy, South Korea, Mexico, and Turkey will not choose to follow the soap opera route.

Shakespeare cannot be exported, but he can follow the formalist route. What most people think of as formality is actually not that high. Have they ever seen the etiquette of the royal family and the aristocracy? Of course I have never seen it before. What a lock can do is make a villain suddenly rich and a dog wear leather pants.

Then it's simple, if you like formalism, come to formalism.

There is no need to teach anything, even just teaching the nobles how to hold a goblet etiquette. How difficult is it to cultivate a group of celebrities, Fan Yuan, and Yoga Yuan? Anyway, no one knows the true situation of the royal family.

"Canada and Australia are our breakthroughs. Of course, in order to highlight the glory of the royal family, the fees of this art academy with the royal family as its signature must not be low. They are the ones who are being ripped off."

"Do you know what it means to be a successful person? Successful people buy the most expensive ones, not the best. So our slogan for all this is, don't ask for the best, but ask for the most expensive."

"This aspect also increases the influence of the royal family, as well as the art field that has traditionally been impacted by popular culture. Sir Anthony, you don't want your beloved career to be in a vicious cycle, right? You don't have to do anything that requires Any flexibility?"

If an old pervert were here, he might think that the supreme authority is choosing a harem for himself under the guise of being a cultural power. People like Anthony Brandt who are of the same type as Turing do not have similar understandings in their minds. Although the Cabinet Secretary said a little, he did a little.

But it is this kind of work that expresses the essence of the problem. It can establish the concept of a cultural power for the country, expand the influence of the royal family, and help old-school artists like Anthony Brandt get rid of the vicious circle of mass cultural impact.
