In the evening of early summer, there was no wind, and the fragrance of roses began to fill the garden. Xiao Letian was in a surprisingly good mood, because there was good news all day long, and the public opinion war he personally directed finally won a great victory.
The wave of protests sweeping across Europe has pushed France and Austria to a dead end. Early this morning, the French government actually issued a solemn statement, publicly condemning the atrocities and stating that the series of attacks were completely a despicable conspiracy to catch the thief.
The public opinion war that lasted for more than half a month finally made the French wake up. Senior intelligence officials represented by Sharif actually successfully analyzed it correctly without Pierre's help this time. But what's the use of it?
The war of public opinion is also a war. What matters is the right time, the right place and the right people. Now the French side has lost the best opportunity to counterattack and has lost the right time. Now the people will not believe anything they say.
Many times, what the public needs is not the truth at all. What they need is just an outlet for their emotions. Are workers who walk on the streets and shout out really condemning atrocities? Are the young students who threw rotten eggs at the French Embassy really supporters of Xiao Letian?
Everything is open to discussion. On the surface, it seems that the public has been brought together by this public opinion war, but in fact, everyone has their own small calculations in their hearts. The worker who shouted might just be venting the abuse he received from his evil boss, and the student who threw the eggs might just be venting his pain after a broken love.
The human heart is very fragile and cannot contain much grievance. Once it is full, it needs to be vented. This in itself is a normal human emotional need.
This war of public opinion has given people across Europe a legal opportunity to act wild. Normally, if they want to vent their anger, they would just get drunk or beat their wives and children, but they would not dare to go out on the street and point their fingers at the country and the emperor. Today's protest is as exciting as a holiday in the eyes of countless people.
The citizens who have fallen into madness have no time to pay attention to the French statement. Even if they put the truth in front of the people, people will not believe it. It is so easy to encounter a once-in-a-century carnival. If it is not fun enough, how can it be worthy of itself? .
"Ridiculous King of France! Stupid bureaucrat! If you had chosen to make a public statement half a month ago and use your own media to argue with me, maybe you would have had a chance to draw a tie... But what about now? It's more than half a month ago. It’s been months, the people have already followed my script, their sense of agency has come in, and you still want them to turn their backs?”
Xiao Letian threw France's statement on the dining table with disdain, drank a large glass of beer, and then burped with satisfaction.
"Uh... so happy! You may be able to change the direction of a small stream, but now that a flash flood has formed, do you want to forcefully reverse it? Your brain has been kicked by a donkey..."
Huniu, who was sitting next to Xiao Letian, frowned, "You can deceive the people for a while, but you can't deceive them forever. The flood will stop for a moment. If the people find out that they have been deceived, what do you want to do? Aren't you afraid of the people? A counterattack?"
Just when Huniu was asking questions, the door of the restaurant was lightly knocked twice. After getting Xiao Letian's response, Noheita hurried in from the outside with a large intelligence document.
"Father, this is the information Mr. Paul has just sent. He said that the French government has begun to send envoys to meet with media families that have been attacked in Europe. They are now targeting us... If things continue like this , isn’t it very detrimental to us?”
Noheita speaks Chinese very proficiently. Although there are some minor problems with intonation and grammar, everyone can understand him.
"Well, your question is very good. It has the same meaning as what your godmother just asked. You are just afraid of revealing your secret! Well, since I am in a good mood today, let me say a few more words..."
Xiao Letian tapped the table lightly with his finger, gesturing for Nohira to sit down and eat together. This flattered his godson. After Huniu smiled and poured him a glass of beer, the Japanese adopted son was so excited that he almost fell to his knees. land.
"Sit down, don't be so soft. Since you recognize me as your father, we are a family. Let's drink!" Xiao Letian's smile almost melted Nopingta's heart. He raised his head and drank a full glass of beer. Went down. However, as he was used to drinking Japanese sake, he obviously couldn't adapt to this kind of German horse urine. Drinking it was as uncomfortable as drinking poison.
"Okay, now let me answer your questions. The whole conspiracy will be exposed sooner or later. If you are lucky, it may take decades or even hundreds of years. If you are not lucky, it may be leaked in a few months."
"The French have finally come to their senses. Although their statement is irrelevant, meeting with European newspapers is a clever move. People are always afraid of meetings. There are so many people in France who are very eloquent. I can foresee that. After all these meetings, a large number of newspapers must have chosen to believe the French..."
"What should we do?" Nohira was so excited that he almost jumped out of his chair.
"Calm down, calm down... This little problem can't trouble us!" Xiao Letian's classic evil smile appeared again.
"Human beings are very strange creatures. When he has sociality, things like face will naturally appear. Let me ask you, how will people behave when they realize that they have been deceived? "
"Maybe your answer is to catch the liar and beat him up and then declare to the public that I was deceived and I want to apologize to everyone. If your answer is really like this, I can only say that you are too superficial."
"If this is a one-on-one scam, or a scam with few participants, the scene you imagined will indeed happen. But once the scam escalates to a national unit, then the public will know that they After being deceived, what will you do?"
Xiao Letian looked at the confused eyes of Nopingtai and Huniu, knowing that they were already dizzy, so he could only try to keep the question as simple as possible.
"Okay, let me put it bluntly. When the deceived people find that the liar is extremely powerful and the people have no ability to punish the liar, their mentality will change and they will consider their actions. Does it make sense?"
"In addition, when this scam affects a large number of people and covers almost the entire society, and when people find out that their neighbors, relatives and friends have all fallen into the scam, a sense of confusion will arise after they have followed the herd."
"People will subconsciously remind themselves, forget it, don't expose this scam. Since there is no way to punish the scammer and lose face when he turns around, why should I ask for trouble? Plus, the people around me Everyone has been deceived, and since the whole society believes that the scam is the truth, no one cares about the truth..."
"In addition, human beings also have a mentality of breaking things. The process of admitting mistakes and self-denial is extremely painful. Many people often choose to be ostriches, or go further and further down the wrong road without looking back. This is also a big problem in human nature. weakness……"
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian couldn't help but think of some news he had seen in his previous life. Many people were deceived into MLM organizations. He was obviously a victim, and he also knew that MLM was wrong. However, after experiencing it for a period of time, he felt that MLM was wrong. He went even harder to deceive people again.
Why do the victims end up becoming the perpetrators of harm? Why did the kind-hearted people who were deceived into MLM organizations eventually become the backbone of MLM? The core of the answer lies in this broken-can mentality.
Since I'm already like this, I might as well continue like this. It's better to sink deeper and deeper into the wrong path than to be laughed at after admitting my mistake.
"This is face. Don't say that Chinese people pay attention to face, Europeans also pay attention to face. Admitting that you have been cheated means admitting that your IQ is not high enough and your mentality is not strong enough. This is tantamount to revealing your character to the society. Flaws and weaknesses, this feeling is not good, very bad..."
"As for those newspapers, I admit that the editors are all very smart people. They should have quickly realized that they were deceived by the French diplomats' eloquent words. But you have to know that the more educated people are, the more People with high IQ and high education are more concerned about face..."
"You, the editor-in-chief of a dignified newspaper, have been tricked by others, and you were tricked by a yellow-skinned monkey from China. If this spreads out, who will believe the credibility of their newspaper? Do they even want to sell sales? ?Once readers don’t believe them, who will buy their newspapers?”
"Hahaha, now do you understand? In this kind of group incident, there is no winner at all, including me. Even if everything goes according to my script, I will not be able to escape a hundred years later. The reputation of a liar and schemer..."
It suddenly dawned on Noheita and Huniu that they now understood it completely. This really felt like an enlightenment. No wonder the Prime Minister was able to rise up in East Asia and create such a huge career within two years. Just with this It is an attempt to figure out people's hearts. If it doesn't succeed, it would be unreasonable.
"Things between you men are too complicated. It makes me upset when I hear it. I'm going to take a rest. Let's talk..." Huniu saw Nohira's hesitant expression and knew that they had something private to say. , turned around and left.
At this time, only Xiao Letian and Nohira were left in the restaurant. After more than ten minutes of silence, Nohira suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground with a thump. "Father, please, please teach me this." I beg you for your ability to see into people’s hearts…”
Nohira put his forehead on the floor and burst into tears. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking violently. Xiao Letian's words just now seemed to have opened a window in front of him, and a wonderful world that he had never seen before was revealed to him. Allow.
"A magical skill, this is a magical skill! Please have mercy on me, father. I ask for nothing but this magical skill that can penetrate people's hearts... I, I, I, I am willing to leave the center of power for the rest of my life. My son does not want any inheritance rights, my son. I just ask my father to be kind and teach me!”
Um? Xiao Letian was stunned at that time. There was something in this kid's words. What does it mean to leave the center of power? What does giving up inheritance rights mean? Where is this going?
No, today I have to take out all the bezoar and dog treasures from this kid's belly. I want to see what he is planning in his heart.
