Chapter 706: Public Opinion Offensive

So, what are Semiramis and Alice doing at this moment in the Ural Mountains, where the battle is going on again in the Baltic Sea, in the Ural Mountains?

Contrary to what had been speculated, Alice did not take this defeat to heart, and for a country that had already begun to industrialize, the loss was not even a drop in the bucket.

Semiramis made up his mind to deepen the training of those generals, and this time the failure was obvious, because of the rigidity of the command system, and he was completely carrying out this war according to the script, without any flexibility at all.

However, because of the need to stabilize the military structure of the entire empire, she still needs to give him a chance to make amends, after all, if it ends after one defeat, then the other generals will also feel cold.

The Baltic Empire is not an Attila Empire, and while maintaining a harsh system, it also has a certain degree of flexibility, which will give everyone a room to make mistakes, so that they can be bold and innovative.

"What do you think? Alice. ”

Throwing down the documents from the front line, Semiramis turned to look at the girl who was drinking black tea and eating snacks.

I don't know if it's her delusion, I always feel that after returning from the Celtic Isles, Alice has become more lazy, after throwing away a mirror image to study magic, the other mirror body has been wandering, sleeping until noon every day, waking up, eating a lunch, going to the outside city in the afternoon to have some fun, and after returning in the evening, she indulges in writing, and some of the stories she made up have begun to circulate in the mouth of the bard.

For example, "Beowulf", which is based on the true deeds of Beowulf and has been written with a certain amount of artistic processing, also has the story between Siegel and Sigoaney, and also adds "Barushinger and Goth", which is about the grudge between the Goths and the Barusenge, and "The Rise and Fall of the Attila Empire".

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Semiramis feels that Alice's temperament is somewhat similar to that of salted fish that has been caught from the ocean, salted, and exposed to the sun.

Semiramis also wondered why Alice would do such a thing, she didn't quite understand what was good for the empire to do these things, and couldn't understand why Alice was writing these, especially "Beowulf", which praised Beowulf.

"You don't have to get these things yourself, there are enough bards in the Empire who are loyal to us to write stories for us that will benefit our rule, and there are many other crucial things to deal with, you don't need to waste your time on such things. ”

After Alice wrote "Beowulf", Semiramis did not hesitate to express his opinion, even if public opinion is very important, but it is not important enough to be dealt with by Alice herself.

"Well, you think it's my hobby. ”

Alice scratched her face in embarrassment and turned to the side.

She has experienced that era, and knows how terrible public opinion is, she can say that the white is black, and the black can be said to be white, and many times only need a gentle guidance, so that those who think they are smart and see through the truth can turn the illusion into the truth.

For example, in the book "Barusenge and Goth" written by Alice, about the love between Siegel and Sigoay, Siegel is portrayed as a king who will do anything to gain benefits, and uses a lot of ink to describe Sigoaney's innocence.

This is enough to provoke the wrath of many who still believe in the god Odin, and it must be difficult for those who are devout believers to accept such behavior as their ruler.

I didn't know it before, but now that I know the real situation, with the fiery character of the Scandinavians, I will definitely not give up so easily.

Of course, because these things are true, and they have only been slightly processed, there are many witnesses to prove the truth of this story, especially those who have now left the Scandinavian Empire and joined Gohm's spellcasters, who are the ones who experienced the events firsthand.

In addition, the story of "Beowulf" is also very popular in Scandinavia, almost all young people want to be a great hero like Beowulf, and at the same time, they are also spitting on the invaders of their homeland, the Attila Empire, and the country of executioners who killed their idols.

The Scandinavian Empire was also very quick to react, and after reading the two stories, Siegel immediately had the minstrel arrest of the minstrel who spread the story and the closure of the tavern where the bard stayed.

Obviously, instead of curbing these two stories, Siegel's approach convinced people that everything depicted in the stories was true, and that it was because they were true that the Scandinavian Empire was forbidden.

In such a situation, it is impossible to stop it, and even in the army, the soldiers have problems, and some of them have begun to leave the army and join the coalition led by Gohm.

On the one hand, they could not stand the meanness of their rulers, because it was contrary to the mainstream thinking of the Scandinavians, and on the other hand, they were influenced by the story of Beowulf and wanted to expel the invaders who invaded their land and homeland.

Obviously, if they continue to stay in the Scandinavian Empire, they will not be able to do this, because a series of military defeats and strategic mistakes have made everyone lose confidence in Siegel and the Scandinavian Empire.

On the other hand, Gohm's coalition has proven that he is a general who can compete with Attila on the battlefield, and has proven that he is a real person who is willing to fight Attila.

When the two are compared, it becomes clear that these people, who have been influenced by the spirit of Beowulf, have chosen the coalition led by Gohm, because they think that only by going there can they display their talents and achieve their goals.

Of course, the Scandinavian Empire will not allow such a thing to happen, and the coalition side will definitely protect these warriors who have joined their army, and there has been a conflict between the two during this time.

If it weren't for the fact that the Attila Empire was still eyeing each other, the two so-called Scandinavian regimes would have been at war with each other for sole legitimacy.

Another story about the Attila Empire was sought after by all the Baltic people, who understood and recognized the difference between the Attila Empire and the Baltic Empire through these stories, plus some descriptions made by people who used to be in the Attila Empire, so that they understood the gap between the two empires.

That's the gap in happiness, in the Attila Empire, they have no way to eat, dress warmly, have dignity, and even the most basic survival is guaranteed.

In addition, because of some of the more classic (dog-blooded) episodes designed by Alice, these stories brought simple entertainment to the people of the Baltic Empire, at least much more interesting than the stories written by the average bard, which had become boring.

Of course, these feedbacks were summarized and fed back to Semiramis by the personnel of the intelligence department, and even if Alice explained it to her, it was still difficult for her to understand the principle and why these simple stories could be done to such an extent.

"Semiramis, what's wrong?"

Alice, who was tasting the new scales that the halflings had cooked according to her suggestion, felt the gaze of Semiramis, and she tilted her head with a fork in her mouth and asked curiously.

"I was thinking about what you wrote before, and I didn't expect it to be able to play such a role. ”

Semiramis sighed that she had nothing to be embarrassed about in this regard.

"It's nothing, it's just practicing the pen and getting back to the way I felt before. ”

Alice blinked her black and white eyes, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then said pretending not to care.

"What are you going to write about?

Semiramis asked a little curiously, of course she had read the stories written by Alice, and had to admit that those stories were indeed involuntarily addicted to them, and it was a good choice to pass the free time and relax.

"I'm going to write a story about Brunhilde. ”

Alice looked away from Semiramis a little, mentioned the name of another lover in front of her dwarf, and wrote a story specifically for her, which made Alice feel guilty about Semiramis.

"Are you planning to spread the faith of Brünnhilde in the Empire?"

Semiramis quickly understood Alice's intentions, she looked at Alice's slightly childlike movements, smiled slightly, and then asked in a slightly supportive tone.

"Go ahead and do it, I won't stop you. ”

Semiramis's answer surprised Alice, and she jerked her head up, and the fork in her mouth fell directly into the wooden plate on the table in front of her, making a crisp sound.

"Don't read it like this, if you're going to be angry, Skaha and Qil will already make me angry. ”

Semiramis's smile made Alice feel even more guilty, and she couldn't say a word at this point, because she didn't know what to say in order to make up for it.

"Are you planning to use Brünnhilde to strengthen your rule over the Yeats?"

Semiramis went on to ask, she was a wise woman who knew what to do and when, and knew that what she didn't do should not do.

"Well, I do think so, our empire is indeed a multi-ethnic and multi-racial empire, but it is undeniable that humanity is the cornerstone of our rule. ”

"And now the humans in our empire are basically the Yaats from Scandinavia, and many of them still believe in Odin and other Asgardian gods. ”

"Brünnhilde is our own people, and gradually they are dyed to pass these beliefs from other gods to Brünnhilde, whether it is the gods of Odin or the people below, they can accept this result. ”

Alice said.

"Is it possible to start the strategy of Scandinavia, if we replace the faith on Scandinavia with the faith of Brunhilde, and use the army composed of the Yaats to occupy Scandinavia and rule that region, we will be much less resisted. ”

Semiramis said guessingly.

"On the one hand, according to my plan, this is only the first step. ”

"Then let it go, Alice, I'm here to support you no matter what. ”

Semiramis didn't continue to ask, knowing that if she did, Alice would tell her about the so-called plan.

However, she doesn't ask, because only if she doesn't ask, Alice will feel guilty, will pay more attention to her thoughts and feelings, will divide more emotions on her, and gain more weight in Alice's heart.

"Don't be in such a hurry, the conquest of Scandinavia is a long process, after all, that land has been ruled by the gods of Asgard for thousands of years, and they have left too many miracles there. ”

"In addition, we also need to consider that the agreement will be truly torn apart and destroyed at any point, and if the gods can once again intervene in the affairs of the main plane, then many of our plans and strategies will have to be changed. ”

Alice calmed down her inner turmoil, calmed down a little, and continued.

"So what I'm doing now is just a preliminary preparation, just a kind of temptation, and the real action still requires a long-term plan, at least wait for me to ......."

Semiramis raised his hand, stopping Alice from continuing.

She knew what Alice was going to say, and it had been something they had been working on for a long time, and for the completion of this matter, the current Baltic Empire was born.

It can be said that the emergence of the Baltic Empire is to make that thing really complete, and both Semiramis and Alice are extremely careful in dealing with this matter.

That is about Alice becoming a god, and through the worship of Alice by the people of the empire, these worships are turned into beliefs, and Alice is pushed to the position of a god.

From miracles to miracles.
