Chapter 1828 Situation (Please vote for me!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

The situation of Xiaobawang is really tragic. They originally thought that they could attract a large number of supporters with their international reputation, but unfortunately... they forgot that the world has changed! In fact, with the development of technology, the monopoly of traditional media has been impacted, and with the international reshuffle, they have lost their monopoly of traditional media.

As early as when the United States lost its hegemony, various countries also began their own actions. The first point is to take back the control of their media!

The Xiaobawang nation is indeed very powerful. In just a few decades, they have occupied the largest share in the field of traditional media. They have frantically acquired various major newspapers and TV stations. Really, they have done a lot of such things.

There is no way. The so-called "democratic values" exported by the United States in recent years have forced many countries to open up their financial and public opinion industries. Once these industries are released, they will inevitably be eroded by international big capital.

In the traditional public opinion industry, Xiaobawang has an extraordinary advantage.

There is no way. Big capital plus the United States' "open door, free trade!", ordinary countries really have no way to resist.

As a result, Xiaobawang has dominated the traditional public opinion industry, and even the traditional paper media of countries like Ying, which are in cahoots with the United States, have been eroded by Xiaobawang's capital.

Then again, have these countries never thought about taking these things back?

Of course they have thought about it, but they can only think about it.

First of all, those big capitals are strong, and the snowballs of others are getting bigger and bigger, and the size is there! Can you compete with others in capital? Use money to kill you.

Secondly, with the support of the United States behind them, they are basically invincible in terms of policy and politics!

"Whoever controls the media controls people's minds." In the past few decades, the United States has subverted many countries by relying on low-cost public opinion tools!

Former US President Eisenhower once said: "Spending $1 on propaganda is equivalent to spending $5 on defense." In the international public opinion field, the United States speaks the most and has the loudest voice, and has repeatedly dressed in the cloak of "freedom defenders" and called for freedom of speech, appearing as a "victim" who resists the threats of other countries. In fact, the United States does this, on the one hand, to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, and on the other hand, it is related to the American ideological strategy, which appears as a symbol of freedom and attempts to set standards and monopolize the right of interpretation from the perspective of God. In order to achieve the strategy, since the first half of the last century, the United States has formed a cognitive combat system with clear positioning, both offensive and defensive, and many tricks. Its routines include at least three: covering up its own propaganda intentions, flaunting the so-called "freedom of the press", and wantonly smearing and spreading rumors about other countries.

Some Western scholars pointed out that the United States does not have a propaganda department, but propaganda is everywhere. The United States claims that it has never set up a propaganda department in its own country, and has always opposed ideological propaganda, thus severely accusing other countries of violating human rights and disregarding freedom. This is completely untenable. The United States is just good at covering up its own propaganda intentions through various means, doing everything possible to cover up its propaganda behavior, and step by step inducing the target objects to go deep into the trap without realizing it. For example, most American superhero movies use the main plot of the United States leading mankind to resist disasters and ultimately save the world to highlight the heroism of the United States, while setting up villains and despicable behaviors for other countries and nations to secretly discredit and vilify them.

American scholar John Yema once described in "The Americanization of the World" that "America's real weapons are Hollywood's film industry, Madison Avenue's image design factory, Mattel and Coca-Cola's production lines." In fact, the heroes in American movies are precisely to highlight the masculine temperament of Americans and set off the image of the United States as a strong man, attempting to unconsciously influence the audience's cognition and export American culture.

For another example, American campuses everywhere boast of educational concepts such as "freedom of thought" and "independent thinking", and claim that they will not offer value guidance courses, but in fact, courses in all aspects such as politics, society, law, and literature are always permeated with American value education. In addition, the US government and various social foundations are also keen to rely on the authoritative effect of a global academic power to set academic thresholds and document use standards to promote various scientific theories with American values ​​to the world and occupy academic discourse power.

In the global political, economic, military, cultural and other directions and their sub-fields, the United States has shown great enthusiasm and used various opportunities and channels to promote American values.

In the 1980s, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, in order to incite Afghanistan to confront the Soviet Union, the United States deliberately compiled a set of textbooks for Afghan children that promoted violence. The apples, bananas, cattle and sheep that were common in the original textbooks were replaced with rifles, daggers and other weapon patterns, attempting to plant the seeds of violence and hatred in the hearts of Afghan children. In the Gulf War of the 1990s, in addition to broadcasting to Iraqi positions for 18 hours a day through the "Voice of the Gulf" radio station, the US military also produced and distributed tens of millions of leaflets, using carefully arranged speeches to split the internal unity of the Iraqi army and disintegrate its will to resist. In the Afghan War in the early 21st century, the US military took great pains to put radios in food bags and airdrop them, just to allow the Afghan people to listen to the "Voice of America".

In addition to adopting various propaganda methods, the United States has also vigorously cultivated propaganda forces and constantly competed for discourse hegemony in the international arena. For a long time, Western media have had a clear advantage in the field of international communication. For example, the Associated Press alone provides news for more than 10,000 news media in more than 100 countries and regions in the world, accounting for a large part of the world's international news releases. In the information siege carefully constructed by the United States, they always ensure that they have absolute propaganda advantages and information power. Through capital operation, the United States has built a propaganda path with official media as the main body, and private media, third-party non-governmental organizations, large enterprises, etc. overlapping voices. Externally, it uses bribery, inducement and other means to win over the mainstream media of relevant countries, internal "opinion leaders" and media practitioners to act as its spokespersons, and carefully cultivate "public opinion water army" to achieve "voices" and "megaphones" everywhere, maximizing the promotion of American interests.

The United States always mentions "freedom of the press" and accuses other countries of lacking "freedom of the press". However, the "freedom of the press" advocated by the United States can only be achieved within the established script.

Another "clever" part of the US propaganda is that it is keen to define and label other countries.

And all this needs a handle to achieve. After all, you can't just say one thing about public opinion. You need someone to carry the sedan chair for you!

So, when the little bully was conquering the public opinion circle, the Americans gave the greatest support! The most obvious example is the "media king" Murdoch!

This media tycoon was originally an Australian and became an American citizen in September 1985.

There is no doubt about what he did it for!

The most obvious example is his acquisition of Sky TV. According to the British cross-ownership regulations, a national newspaper company has no right to hold more than 20% of the shares of any British television company. In 1990, Murdoch tried to acquire 50% of the shares by merging British Sky TV and British Satellite Broadcasting. Obviously, this transaction is illegal. In fact, Home Secretary David Weddington also admitted its illegality in Parliament.

But what is the fact?

Murdoch succeeded!

Without the help of American friends, this would be impossible!

This kind of thing is definitely not the only one.

But when the tide recedes, many things will have to pay back!

First, in Daiying, the wiretapping scandal of News Corporation broke out directly! Then the Daiying government launched an investigation into News Corporation, and then more black materials were exposed. If it was in the past, at most a few hearings would be held and some money would be paid. But this time, the Daiying government directly imposed the maximum penalty.

First of all, the maximum fine was more than 10 billion!

Then News Corporation (the Daiying part) was directly split and sold, which was mandatory.

If a government wants to act like a gangster, there are too many ways, especially Daiying, the originator of gangsterism!

In fact, in the past few years, not only Daiying, but also major newspapers in many European countries have begun to have problems. Either they changed their owners in a low-key manner, or they were entangled in scandals and had to be sold. In short, although it seems to be prosperous, in fact, the players behind many things have changed.

There is no way. How much benefit did you earn by relying on hegemony in the past? Now that hegemony has fallen, you must pay back the debt.

As the control of public opinion plummeted, the image of the Little Overlord began to be reversed rapidly. And there is another point, that is, the change in the population structure of Europe. With the increase of more Middle Eastern immigrants and African immigrants, many things have changed.

After all, immigrants from these two places have never persecuted the Little Overlord. Not only do others have no moral burden, but the key is that the Little Overlord is still persecuting them now.

The population base of these people in Europe is not small, and the key is that they don’t like the Little Overlord.

Public opinion, this thing is ultimately facing the public!

Now the public doesn’t buy into the Little Overlord’s tricks, and even hates them, so will the media continue to play the old tricks?

The world is changing with each passing day.

If a media wants to survive, it must cater to the public!

This has caused another phenomenon. In the areas that support the Little Overlord the most, there are actually a group of people who are most ruthless against the Little Overlord, and the base of these people is not small.

This is very uncomfortable. The key is that it was Xiaobawang Capital that first waved the flag for ethnic minorities. Is it now considered to be shooting itself in the foot?

So, Xiaobawang's efforts have resulted in few responses from the international community.

The key is that he himself has not adjusted yet. He is used to a good life. Now the external situation has changed, and he has no time to react. In the past, they were a little rough, and there were people who cleaned up for them, but now there are no people who clean up, and they still act like the boss, the second, and the third. As a result, they find that others don't tolerate them at all.

But even so, their first reaction is not to reflect, but to start throwing a tantrum!

Those who shout loudly and urgently that those who don't help them are all undemocratic countries!

They all hate them!

They are all extremely incorrect.

This attitude makes many countries dissatisfied... Isn't it true that beggars should also be able to sing a few lines of the rhyme? You just started to curse at the door?

So it's right that no one helps.

But it is not that the Little Overlords are unaware that what they are doing is problematic, but the problem is that they have to express their views in this way, because the reason is simple, the public does not have such an understanding. They do not think that the world has changed, and they still think that the world must revolve around them.

So the people in the Little Overlord government must be ahead of the people...more radical than the people, otherwise why would the people elect them?

If they are humble, they are finished, and they may have to step down immediately. If they are arrogant...their positions will definitely be fine.

As for the national affairs being the most important...fuck, I am a politician! National affairs are the most important? If national affairs are the most important, then national affairs really have nothing to do with me. Besides, if something goes wrong in the country, it is the problem of the entire country. Why should I use my power and status to pay for it?

I can't!

Politicians are selfish creatures first.

So the situation became like this.

The Little Overlord has no power to counterattack...No matter how you praise the Little Overlord, it is just a small country with a population of just over 10 million. No matter how advanced its industry and technology are, it is impossible to support a large-scale war. The territory and population limit their production capacity.

If there were no super-standard existence like Apocalypse, they would not be unable to fight the Egyptian army alone, but the problem is that there is no if in reality.

Apocalypse led the army to charge forward. A group of troops, mainly infantry, actually showed the momentum of an armored army and headed towards the Holy City.

The Holy City also encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Originally, most of the Little Overlord's troops were on the front line, and those left to defend the Holy City were security forces, some second-line troops, and even reserve troops.

Their training and equipment were very poor, otherwise they would not be left behind.

Now the Egyptian army's forward reconnaissance troops have appeared around the Holy City, which has put them under unparalleled pressure.

What's worse is that the neighbors on the other side of the Holy City and the locals of the Holy City are also beginning to stir.

The temptation of the Holy City is too great.

If it were in the past, the Little Overlord might have taken the initiative to drive all those foreigners out of the Holy City... The Little Overlord had wanted to do this a long time ago, and had been doing it in secret.

But now he doesn't dare.

After all, they don't have the confidence now. No one supports them. Once they take action against civilians, international public opinion will only hate them more... What's worse, it will directly detonate the situation. If a large-scale conflict breaks out in the city, the Egyptian army will definitely be overjoyed.

This will be very beneficial for them to enter the city and start the occupation.

But if they don't do it, things won't get better.

Those non-Little Overlord residents in the city have been oppressed for a long time... Although the Little Overlord has always advertised that it treats non-Little Overlord residents equally, in fact, whether it is infrastructure or public services, the gap between the two is ridiculous.

They live in different areas and basically don't interact with each other, which is a typical isolation.

There has been a lot of resentment accumulated a long time ago, not to mention that they can take back their homes, so it is naturally impossible to be calm.

So the situation is very delicate and may be detonated at any time.

What's more interesting is that many Little Overlord residents in the city have begun to flee the city.

No one is willing to live on the battlefield.

In this situation, the Little Overlord seems to have no way out.
