Chapter 1828 Situation (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!!)

It was a real tragedy for Xiaobawang. They originally thought that with their international reputation, they could attract a large number of supporters. 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 even lost their monopoly of traditional media.

As early as when the United States lost its hegemony, other countries also began their own actions. The first thing they did was to take back control of their media!

The Little Overlords are indeed very powerful. In just a few decades, they have occupied the largest share in the traditional media field. They have been frantically acquiring various major newspapers and TV stations. Really, they have done a lot of this.

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 liberalized, they will inevitably be eroded by international capital.

In the traditional public opinion industry, Xiaobawang has extraordinary advantages.

There is no way. With big capital and the US's "open the door, free trade!", ordinary countries really have no way to resist.

As a result, Xiaobawang has been dominating the traditional public opinion industry, and even traditional print media in countries like Ying, which are kin to the United States, have been completely eroded by Xiaobawang's capital.

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

Of course I have thought about it, but it is just thought.

First of all, those big capitals are very rich, and their snowballs are getting bigger and bigger. Their size is there! Can you compete with others in terms of capital? They will kill you with money.

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. It has repeatedly dressed in the cloak of "freedom defender" and called for freedom of speech, appearing as a "victim" who resists threats from 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 in the image of symbolizing freedom and attempts to set standards and monopolize the right of interpretation from the perspective of God. In order to realize 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. There are at least three routines: covering up its own propaganda intentions, flaunting the so-called "freedom of the press", and wantonly smearing and spreading rumors about other countries.

A Western scholar 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 luring the target objects step by step into the trap without realizing it. For example, American superhero movies mostly 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 smear and vilify them.

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

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

The United States has shown great enthusiasm in many areas and sub-sectors of global politics, economy, military, culture, and has used various opportunities and channels to promote American values.

In the 80s, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States deliberately compiled a set of textbooks for Afghan children that promoted violence in order to incite Afghanistan to confront the Soviet Union. The apples, bananas, cows and sheep that were common in the 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. During the Gulf War in the 90s, 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 choreographed speeches to split the internal unity of the Iraqi army and disintegrate its will to resist. In the Afghanistan 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 1 news media in more than 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 operations, the United States has built a propaganda path that is mainly based on official media, with private media, third-party non-governmental organizations, and large enterprises overlapping their voices. Externally, it uses bribery and inducement to win over the mainstream media of relevant countries, internal "opinion leaders" and media practitioners to act as their spokespersons, and carefully cultivates "public opinion water army" to achieve "voices" and "megaphones" everywhere, maximizing the promotion of American interests.

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

Another clever aspect of the U.S.’s propaganda is its passion for defining and labeling other countries.

And all of this requires a handle to achieve. After all, when it comes to public opinion, you can’t just have one 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!

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

There is no need to doubt what it is for!

The most obvious example is his acquisition of Sky TV. Under British cross-ownership rules, a national newspaper company cannot hold more than 20% of any British television company. In 1990, Murdoch tried to acquire 50% of Sky TV and British Satellite Broadcasting by merging British Sky TV and British Satellite Broadcasting. Obviously, this transaction was illegal. In fact, Home Secretary David Weddington also admitted its illegality in Parliament.

But what about the facts?

Murdoch succeeded!

This would have been impossible without the help of our American friends!

This is definitely not the only case of this kind of thing.

But when the tide recedes, many things will have to be repaid!

First, in Japan, the news company's phone-hacking scandal broke out! Then the Japanese government launched an investigation into News Corporation, and more scandals were exposed. If it were in the past, at most a few hearings would be held and some money would be paid. But this time, the Japanese government directly imposed the maximum penalty.

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

Then News Corp (with the "嘤" part) was directly split and sold, which was mandatory.

If a government wants to act like a hooligan, there are many ways to do it, especially with Ying, the originator of hooliganism!

In fact, in the past few years, it is not just Dai Ying. Major newspapers in many European countries have begun to have problems. Some have quietly changed owners, while others have been embroiled in scandals and have been forced to sell themselves. In short, although everything seems to be going well, in fact, the players behind many things have changed.

There is no way. We have gained so many benefits by relying on hegemony in the past. Now that hegemony has fallen, we must repay the debt.

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

After all, the immigrants from these two places have never persecuted the little bully. Not only do they have no moral burden, but the key is that the little bully is still persecuting them.

These people have a large population base in Europe, and the key is that they don’t like Little Overlord.

Public opinion, this thing is ultimately aimed at the public!

Now that the public doesn’t buy into Little Overlord’s tactics and even hates them, will the media continue to use the same old tricks?

The world is changing with each passing day.

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

This has led to another phenomenon: in the areas that most support Little Overlord, there actually appeared a group of people who were most ruthless against Little Overlord, and the number of these people is not small.

This is very upsetting. The key point is that it was Xiaobawang Capital that first advocated for ethnic minorities. Now, is it shooting itself in the foot?

So, despite Xiaobawang’s efforts, there were 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, when they were a little rough, there were people to defend them, but now there are no people to defend them. They still act like the boss, the second to the boss, and the third to the boss. As a result, they find that others don't tolerate them at all.

But even so, their first reaction was not to reflect, but to start throwing tantrums!

Those countries that loudly and urgently refuse to help them are undemocratic!

They all hate them!

All of these are extremely incorrect.

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

So it's my fault that no one helped me.

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.

Therefore, those people in the little bully government must be ahead of the people... and be more radical than the people, otherwise why would the people elect them?

If they are humble, then they are doomed, and they may be forced to step down immediately. If they are arrogant...their positions will definitely be guaranteed.

As for saying that national affairs are the most important... Fuck, I'm 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's the problem of the entire country. Why should I use my power and status to pay for it?

cant!

Politicians are, first and foremost, selfish creatures.

So this is how the situation became.

The Little Overlord is simply unable to counterattack... No matter how much 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.

Originally, if there was no such extraordinary existence as Apocalypse, they could have defeated the Egyptian army alone, but the problem is that there is no if in reality.

Apocalypse led his army and began to advance rapidly. A group of troops mainly composed of infantry actually displayed the momentum of an armored army and headed towards the holy city.

The Holy City is also facing an unprecedented crisis.

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

They were poorly trained and equipped, or they would not have been left behind.

Now the Egyptian army's vanguard reconnaissance troops have appeared around the holy city, which has put them under unparalleled pressure.

What's worse, neighbors on the other side of the holy city and local people in the holy city are also beginning to make moves.

The temptation of the Holy City is too great.

If it were in the past, the Little Overlord might have just taken the initiative and driven 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 I don’t dare to do that anymore.

After all, they no longer have the confidence and no one supports them. Once they take action against civilians, international public opinion will only hate them even more... What's worse is that the situation will explode directly. If a large-scale conflict breaks out in the city, the Egyptian army will definitely be overjoyed.

This will be very helpful for them to enter the city and carry out occupation operations.

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

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

The two live in different areas and rarely interact with each other, a typical example of isolation.

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

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

What’s even more interesting is that many of the city’s bully residents have begun fleeing the city.

No one wants to live on a battlefield.

In this situation, Xiaobawang seems to have no other options.
