C315 Human Weaknesses (1/2)
Xiao Letian's mood was surprisingly good, because today was the entire day's worth of good news. The public opinion battle that he had personally directed had finally been completely victorious.
The wave of protests sweeping through Europe has forced the two countries into a dead end. This morning, the Government of France issued a stern statement condemning the atrocities and declaring that a series of attacks was a despicable conspiracy to capture thieves.
The public opinion battle that had persisted for more than half a month finally made the French come to their senses. The intelligence officials who were represented by Xie Lifu were actually able to successfully analyze the situation without Pierre's help, but what was the use of that?
The war of opinion was also a war. It was about time and people, and now that France had lost its best chance to fight back, it had lost its time. No one would believe what they said now.
Most of the time, what the public needs is not the truth at all. Is it really to denounce the atrocities that they need to be merely an outlet for their emotions, a worker shouting in the street? Was the young student who threw his rotten egg at the French Embassy really Xiao Letian's supporter?
Everything had to be discussed. On the surface, it seemed like the public had gathered together due to the public opinion battle. However, everyone had their own little plans and plans. The shouting worker may just be venting the blackhearted boss's abuse, and the egg-throwing student may just be venting the pain of a lovelorn.
The human heart was very fragile, and it could not hold much grievance. Once it was filled, it would have to vent. This was the normal emotional need of a human being.
This time, during this public opinion battle, the entire population of Europe was given a legal opportunity to behave atrociously. Normally, if they wanted to vent their anger, they would at most get drunk or hit their wives and children. Today's protest was as exciting as the celebration in the eyes of countless citizens.
The citizens who were in a frenzy did not have the time to care about the statements made by the French. Even if they were to put the truth in front of the citizens, they would not believe it.
”What a ridiculous French Emperor! Stupid bureaucrat! If you had chosen to make a public statement and use your own media to argue with me half a month ago, you might have had a chance... But now? It has already been more than half a month and the citizens have already followed my script. Their sense of substitution has already arrived and you still want them to turn around? ”
Xiao Letian disdainfully threw the declaration for the Magic Cube onto the table, and happily downed a large glass of beer. He then burped in satisfaction.
”Ugh …” How satisfying! You might be able to change his direction in a small stream, but now that the torrent has been formed, do you want to force it? Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey … ”
Hu Niu, who was sitting beside Xiao Letian, frowned, ”You can lie to the people for a while, but you can't lie to the people for a lifetime. The flood will also stop for a while, and at that time, if the people find out that they have been lied to, what do you plan to do? Aren't you afraid of the citizens' retaliation? ”
Just as Hu Niu was about to ask, the restaurant's door was lightly knocked twice. After receiving Xiao Letian's reply, Yepingtai hurriedly walked in with a large report.
”Master Father, this is the intelligence report that Mr. Paul just sent. I heard that the Government of France has already begun sending special envoys to meet with the European media organizations that were ambushed one by one. Is it bad for us, over time? ”
Yepingtai had already spoken Chinese proficiently. Although there was a slight problem with his tone and grammar, everyone could understand it.
”Un, this question of yours is not bad. The meaning behind your mother's question just now is the same as yours. You guys are just afraid of exposing your identity!” ”Alright, since I am in a good mood today, let's say a few more words …”
Xiao Letian lightly tapped on the table with his finger, gesturing for Yepingtai to sit and eat with him, causing his dry son to be overwhelmed by the favor. After Hu Niu smiled and poured him a glass of beer, this foster son was so excited that he almost knelt down.
”Sit down, don't be so soft. Since you have acknowledged me as your father, then we will be family. Drink!” Xiao Letian's smile almost melted Yepingtai's heart, he raised his head and gulped down the full glass of beer. However, he was used to drinking Japanese sake, so he obviously could not get used to this kind of German horse urine.
”Well, now let me answer your questions. The entire plot will be exposed sooner or later. If one is lucky, it might take decades or even hundreds of years. If one is unlucky, it might even be revealed within a few months. ”
”The French finally understood what was going on. Although their statements were insignificant, the meeting with the various newspapers in Europe was a wondrous game, people are always afraid of meeting each other. In such a big France, there are a lot of eloquent people, and I can foresee that after this meeting, there would definitely be a large number of newspapers that would choose to believe in the French …”
”Then what should we do?” Yepingtai was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair.
”Calm down, calm down …” Such a small problem isn't too hard for us! ” The corner of Xiao Letian's mouth curved into a classic evil smile again.
