Chapter 984 Public Opinion War, All That Is Said Is Fact
The Revolutionary Army had to start seeking support from external forces.
They began to look at the foreign nations in the west and north. Although these nations were known for their brutality and aggressiveness, they had long coveted the empire's territory.
The foreign nations in the west and north had a long history of war and hatred with the empire.
They had tried to invade the borders of the empire many times, but were repelled by the powerful army of the empire.
However, under the lobbying of the Revolutionary Army, these foreign nations saw an unprecedented opportunity.
They knew that if they could help the Revolutionary Army slow down the offensive of Noxus, they would have the opportunity to expand their sphere of influence and realize their long-standing ambitions.
Under the careful planning of the Revolutionary Army, the leaders of the foreign nations in the west and north were persuaded.
They sent a large army and, together with the Revolutionary Army, launched a fierce attack on the Noxian army.
The scale of this war was unprecedented, with tens of thousands of troops deployed on both sides, and the flames of war were blazing on the land of the empire.
However, not everyone supported this decision.
There were also many people in the Revolutionary Army who opposed it.
They believed that cooperating with foreign nations was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger, which would only bring greater disaster to the empire in the end.
However, the leaders firmly stated that this was a sacrifice for the future of the country and the nation.
They knew that if they did not try their best to delay the offensive of Noxus now, a catastrophe would be waiting for them.
With the leaders' firm determination, the revolutionary army reached an agreement with the foreign nations in the west and the north.
They ceded part of the empire's territory to the foreign nations in exchange for their help.
This decision caused an uproar among the people, and many people expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest.
They believed that this was a betrayal of national sovereignty and a trampling on national dignity.
However, the leaders were unmoved, and they firmly believed that their choice was correct.
As time went on, the foreign nations in the west and the north began to invade the territory of the empire.
Their army was like locusts, and wherever they went, there was a mess.
The people in the ceded land suffered endless suffering and torture, their homes were destroyed, their relatives were separated, and their lives became dark.
At this time, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
However, Chang Wei had already prepared for the revolutionary army to let the dogs go. He never overestimates people's character, nor underestimates their shining points.
After all, human beings are such a complex, changeable and contradictory collection.
Esdeath was given an important mission by Chang Wei - leading the army to resist the invasion of foreign nations in the west and the north.
However, Chang Wei did not let her engage in a bloody battle with the foreign army at the beginning, but let her save the people who were harmed by foreign nations in a more wise and kind way.
Under the leadership of Esdeath, the army of Noxus is no longer just a fighting force, but also a rescue team.
They toured around the empire to help the people persecuted by foreign nations rebuild their homes and resume their lives.
Every rescued citizen seemed to see the dawn of hope. They expressed their gratitude to Esdeath and regarded her as their savior.
At the same time, Noxus also launched a massive public opinion war among the people.
They claimed that this was done by the revolutionary army, and they colluded with foreign nations in an attempt to cede the country to foreign nations.
The power of this propaganda war was amazing. It was like an invisible sword that pierced deeply into the hearts of the people of the empire.
In the eyes of the people of the empire, the revolutionary army was no longer their former allies and partners, but sinners who betrayed the country and the nation.
And the foreign race, which was once out of reach in the hearts of ordinary people and as strange as the stars in the sky, has now become a demon in their hearts like a ghost in the dark night.
Fear, anger, helplessness, these emotions are intertwined, sweeping across the empire like a storm.
All these changes are due to a clever strategy of Chang Wei.
In this era, the literacy rate of the lower-class people was not high, and many people could not even write their own names.
But their perception of images was keen and profound.
So Chang Wei decided to turn the newspaper into a "pictorial".
One shocking photo after another was connected like a comic strip, falling from the sky to every piece of land and every village.
In these photos, the tragic situation of the invasion of foreign races was clearly shown.
They burned, killed, looted, raped and plundered, and left a mess wherever they passed.
Those once familiar homes have now become ruins; those once close family members are now in danger of death. All of this is the disaster brought by those foreign races.
These photos, without any verbal modification or whitewashing, can make people deeply feel the cruelty and atrocities of foreign races.
They are like sharp knives, deeply piercing people's hearts.
As a result, people's resistance to the revolutionary army is growing. They have joined General Esdeath's army to defend their homes and resist the invasion of those foreign races.
However, in this war of public opinion, both the revolutionary army and the empire tried to control the development of the situation.
They tried to change the people's ideas through various means and win more support for themselves. However, once the war of public opinion begins, it is like a flood and a beast, and it cannot be easily stopped and suppressed.
What's more, what Chang Wei said was based on the truth.
He did not exaggerate or distort the facts.
He just wanted people to see the truth and let them know the atrocities of those foreign races.
And this real power cannot be resisted by any lies and disguises.
In the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, Najeshitan sat in a dim room with a frown.
During this period of time, she also heard a lot about the Revolutionary Army.
However, she did not pay much attention to these rumors and news.
After all, her original intention of joining the Revolutionary Army was to resist the tyranny and oppression of the Empire, not to fight for power and status.
However, as time went by, Najeshitan began to gradually realize that the Revolutionary Army seemed to no longer be the organization she once knew.
She found that the actions of the Revolutionary Army began to become more and more radical and extreme.
They no longer fought to save the people as before, but began to indulge the invasion of foreign races, and even colluded with foreign races to create trouble for the Empire and Noxus.
This change made Najeshitan very confused and uneasy.
She didn't understand why the revolutionary army had become so strange and terrifying.
