315 The Weakness of Human Nature
In the evening of early summer, there was no wind, and the fragrance of roses began to permeate the garden, Xiao Letian was in a surprisingly good mood, because all day today was good news, and the public opinion battle commanded by himself finally won a big victory.
The wave of protests that swept across Europe has pushed France and Austria to a dead end, and early this morning the French Government issued a solemn statement publicly condemning the atrocities and declaring that the series of attacks were a despicable conspiracy to catch the thief.
The public opinion war, which lasted for more than half a month, finally woke up to the French, and the senior intelligence officials represented by Sharif successfully analyzed it correctly without Pierre's help this time, but what is the use of this?
The war of public opinion is also a war, and the emphasis is on the right time, place, and people, and now the French side has lost the best opportunity to counterattack, and the people will not believe what they say now.
In many cases, what the masses need is not the truth at all, they need to be just an outlet for their feelings, and the workers who walk down the street and shout are really condemning the atrocities? Are the young students who threw rotten eggs at the French embassy really supporters of Xiao Letian?
On the surface, it seems that the people are coerced by this public opinion war and gathered together, but in fact, everyone has their own small calculations in their hearts. The screaming worker may just be venting the abuse of his black-hearted boss, and the student who throws the egg may just want to vent the pain of falling out of love.
The human heart is very fragile, and it can't contain many grievances, and once it is full, it will be vented, which is itself a normal emotional need of human beings.
And this public opinion war has given the people of all Europe a chance to spread their wildness legally, and they usually want to vent their drunken at most, or beat their wives and children, but they dare not go out on the street and point at the country and the emperor's nose and scold. Today's protest is as exciting as a holiday in the eyes of countless people.
The citizens who are in a frenzy will not have time to pay attention to the statement of the French side, even if they put the truth in front of the people, people will not believe it.
"Ridiculous Emperor... Stupid bureaucrats ... If you had chosen to make a public statement and use your own media to argue with me half a month ago, perhaps you would have had a chance of a draw...... But now? It's been more than half a month, and the people have gone down according to my script, and their sense of substitution has come in, and you still want them to turn their heads?"
Xiao Lotian disdainfully threw the French statement on the table, drank a large glass of beer, and then burped very contentedly.
"Uh...... It's so painful... You might be able to change the direction of a stream, but now that the torrent has formed, you want to force it around? You've got a donkey kicking in the head......
The tiger girl sitting next to Xiao Letian frowned, "You can deceive the people for a while, but it is impossible to deceive the people, the flood also has a moment to stop, if the people find out that they have been deceived, what do you want to do? Aren't you afraid of the people's counterattack?"
Just when Hu Niu was asking, the door of the restaurant was gently knocked twice, and after getting Xiao Letian's response, Ye Pingtai hurriedly walked in from the outside with a large amount of intelligence documents.
"Father, this is information that Mr. Paul has just sent, and I heard that the French government has now begun to send special envoys to meet with the media who have been attacked in Europe, and they are now pointing the finger at us...... Isn't it bad for us in the long run?"
Noheita's Chinese is already very proficient, and although the tone and grammar are a little problematic, everyone can understand them.
"Well, your question is very good, it's similar to the meaning of what your godmother just asked, you're just afraid of revealing your stuffing... Well, since I'm in a good mood today, let's say a few more words......"
Xiao Letian tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and motioned for Ye Heitai to sit down and eat together, which flattered his godson, and after Hu Niu smiled and poured him a glass of beer, the Japanese Yizi was so excited that he almost fell to his knees.
"Sit down, don't be so soft on the waist pole, since you recognize me as a father, it's a family, drink..."Xiao Letian's smile almost melted Ye Heita's heart, and he tilted his head and a full glass of beer was poured down. However, he was accustomed to drinking Japanese sake, and obviously couldn't adapt to this kind of German horse urine, and drinking alcohol was as uncomfortable as drinking poison.
"Alright, now I'll answer your questions. Sooner or later, the whole conspiracy will be exposed, and if you are lucky, it may take decades or even hundreds of years, and if you are unlucky, it may be leaked in a few months. ”
"The French have now understood, although their statement is irrelevant, but it is a clever move to meet with various newspapers in Europe, people are always afraid of meeting, so a big French eloquent person has it, I can foresee that after this meeting, there must be a large number of newspapers who choose to believe the French ......"
"What then?" Nodaira was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair.
"Calm, calm...... This little question is still difficult for us..."The corners of Xiao Letian's mouth curled, and the classic evil smile appeared again.
"Man is a very peculiar creature, and when he has sociality, such a thing as face naturally appears. Let me ask you, what kind of expression do people have when they realize that they have been deceived?"
"Maybe your answer is to catch that liar and beat him up and claim that I was cheated, and I want to apologize to everyone. If that's the case with your answer, I can only say you're too superficial. ”
"If it's a one-on-one scam, or a scam with few participants, the scenario you imagine is going to happen. But once the scam escalates to a state-based level, what will the public do when they learn that they have been deceived?"
Xiao Letian looked at Ye Pingtai and Hu Niu's confused eyes, knowing that the two of them were dizzy now, he could only try to make the question as simple as possible.
"Okay, I'll get to the point. When the deceived people find out that the crooks are unusually strong and the people have no ability to punish the crooks, their mentality will change, and they will consider whether their actions are meaningful. ”
In addition, when the scam affects a large number of people and covers almost the entire society, when people find out that their neighbors, relatives and friends are all caught in the scam, a sense of confusion after conforming to the herd will arise spontaneously. ”
"People will subconsciously keep reminding themselves, forget it, don't expose this scam, since there is no way to punish the scammer and lose face when he turns back, then why should I ask for myself......?
"In addition, human beings also have a broken can and broken psychology, the process of admitting mistakes and self-denial is extremely painful, many people often choose to be an ostrich, or go further and further on the wrong road will not look back, which is also a big weakness in human nature......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian couldn't help but think of some news he saw in his previous life, many people who were deceived into the pyramid scheme organization, obviously he was a victim, and he also knew that the pyramid scheme was wrong, but after a period of time, he intensified his efforts to deceive people again.
Why did the victims turn out to be the ones who inflicted harm? Why did the good people who were deceived into the pyramid scheme end up becoming the backbone of the pyramid scheme? The core of the answer is this kind of can-breaking mentality.
Since I'm already like this, it's better to continue like this, and it's better to fall deeper and deeper down the wrong path than to admit my mistakes and make people laugh at them.
"This is face, don't say that Chinese pay attention to face, Europeans pay attention to face." To admit that you have been deceived is to admit that your IQ is not high enough and your mentality is not strong enough, which is tantamount to revealing the flaws and weaknesses of your character to the society, which is not good, very bad......"
"And the newspapers, which I admit are brilliant men, and who should soon realise that they have been deceived by the clever words of French diplomats. But you must know that the more educated people are, the more intelligent and educated people are, the more they want to save face......"
"If the editor-in-chief of a dignified newspaper is played by a yellow-skinned monkey from China, who will believe in the credibility of their newspaper? Do they still want sales? Once readers don't believe them, who will buy their newspaper?"
"Hahaha, now you figured it out, right? In this kind of mass incident, there is no winner at all, even if I am not a winner, even if I follow my script, then I will not be able to escape the reputation of a liar and conspirator in a hundred years......
Suddenly realized, Ye Ping Tai and Hu Niu now completely understood, this is really a little bit of a feeling of enlightenment, no wonder the prime minister can rise in East Asia within two years, break out of a huge career, just with this speculation of people's hearts, if you don't succeed, there is no reason.
"The matter between you men is too complicated, I listen to it and it's disturbing, I'm going to rest, let's talk......" Hu Niu saw that Yeping was too eager to talk and stopped, knowing that there was something private to say between them, she turned her head and left.
At this time, there were only two people left in the restaurant, Xiao Lotian and Ye Pingtai, and after more than ten minutes of silence, Ye Pingtai suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground with a flutter, "Father, please, please teach me this ability to perceive people's hearts, please......"
Ye Pingtai's head was on the floor and he couldn't cry, and his whole body trembled violently with excitement, Xiao Letian's words just now seemed to open a window in front of him, and a wonderful world that he had never seen before revealed his true face to him.
"Divine skill, this is divine skill... Please have mercy on my father, I ask for nothing more than this divine skill of insight into people's hearts...... I, I, I, I am willing to leave the center of power for life, the son does not want the inheritance of half a star, the son only asks the father to have mercy to teach me..."
Hmm? Xiao Letian was stunned at the time, this kid has something to say, what does it mean to leave the center of power? What does it mean to give up the right to inheritance?
No, today I have to take out all the bezoar dog treasures in this kid's belly, I want to see what he is thinking about.
