Chapter 505, Whitewashing

As news coverage deepened, news of the Ottawa massacre was widely reported. Of course, when it came to reporting on this matter, the French were still very measured.

"You must remember that the following principles must be adhered to in the reporting of this matter." In one of the Moulin Rouge's salons, Lucien reclined on the sofa and rested his head on the lap of Adele, the current leader of the Moulin Rouge, while lazily giving instructions to several of his men.

Well, that's one of the ways Lucien works, and generally speaking, the people who can talk about Lucien here are basically his henchmen.

"The Yankees are savages, but at least for now, they are still barbarians on our side." Lucien said, a little slurred because he still had half of the grapes that Adele had fed him in his mouth.

"Since they are still barbarians on our side, we cannot directly attack their barbarism. This seems to be too unkind. However, it is also necessary for us to let the people of Europe know that the Americans are as savages as the British. Well, Gaiting, tell me, what should we do? ”

Gettin is the new editor-in-chief of Scientific Pravda, whose previous editor-in-chief had just retired and had bought a small estate on the outskirts of Paris with a large sum of money to live a good life. And Gai Ting has just taken office, so he naturally has to make some achievements at this time, otherwise, why let him sit in this position that everyone wants to sit?

Now that Lucien has raised this question, of course he has to behave well. So he replied: "Minister, I think we can solve the problem by collateral damage. ”

At this point, he glanced at Lucien, and seeing that Lucien had no other indication, he continued: "When we report on such things, we still have to do it on the surface to praise the heroes of our French. Incidentally, take those Americans. In Ottawa, for example, Father Tom and Camp Commander Lebek saved many peaceful residents in Ottawa. We can focus our reporting on them and focus on their humanitarianism. And then incidentally, I reported the massacre of the Americans.

Well, considering that the Americans, after all, are barbarians on our side, it's not good to just talk about them. We can portray their atrocities as being carried away by the hatred aroused by the atrocities of the British, or killing them in battle, anyway, to expose the atrocities and to help the barbarians on our side to clear their hands, of course, this method of washing should be especially careful not to really whitewash them. Sometimes, we even deliberately leave it so that the audience can see at a glance that we are whitewashing them, but the effect is that the more they are washed, the blacker it gets. This undermines the image of the Americans, but does not give the impression that we harbor evil intentions — after all, you see, we have all tried so hard to clear their name. ”

After saying this, Gaiting looked at Lucien again with trepidation.

Lucien nodded, ate the slice of orange that Adele had just fed him, and said, "That's a good idea!" You'll be a good editor-in-chief, Mr. Geiting! Well, let's say, an American soldier stabbed a little girl to death with a bayonet right in front of Father Tom's eyes. How to wash it, so that the audience can see at a glance that we are whitewashing them, but the effect is that the more they are washed, the darker they are? ”

"Let's just say that because of the bitter hatred and the fierce fighting, the mental state of the American soldiers has problems. Well, hasn't the Academy of Sciences done a lot of research on 'mental illness' recently? Did Academician Binaire also establish the world's first 'Mental Illness Treatment Center' with very good results? In the description, we can describe the soldier as mentally ill, and the reason why he is mentally ill is because the British barbarians have done him too much harm. Then we can also ask Academician Binail to come out and say two sentences, suggesting that the American military generally has mental problems. So......"

"So the entire U.S. military has been baptized by us into a neurotic army!" Lucien laughed, and then added: "It's a good idea, but it's not enough, and we have to dig deeper, and we have to dig into the cultural influence of the British." Although the United States and Britain are hostile countries, they are culturally identical. We're going to attribute their problems to their culture.

Well, the British genocide of the indigenous people of the colonies, intolerance at home, arbitrary oppression of people who are inconsistent with them. It is for this reason that the United States embarked on the path of resistance. But Americans fail to recognize that the tyrannical red dragon that lurks in British culture is also lurking in the depths of their psyche.

You see, even in the time of the rebellion against the British, the Americans did not stop massacring other weak peoples, such as the Indians. Their first president, Washington, was a barbarian who was adept at making leather boots out of Indigenous skins. On the one hand, they were oppressed by the English barbarians, and on the other hand, they were harmed by the culture of the barbarians. And they don't realize it, and they gradually become the people they hate the most.

So, the Americans are so pitiful, they are too deeply poisoned by the British. And they themselves haven't had time to notice. If you don't even pay attention, you can't take precautions. They're like, well, like the dragon slayer warrior in Chrissy's Fairy Tales, trying their best to kill the dragon, without noticing that the dragon's blood was splattered on him. So, just after he cut off the dragon's head, he ...... Well, what does that fairy tale say? ”

"'He sat in a pool of blood from the dragon, his eyes began to turn red, his body began to swell, scales began to grow on his skin - he became the dragon he had just killed.' That's what it says. Another subordinate replied.

"Yes, although the dragon has not been killed, the skin of the Americans is already itching, and dragon scales are already growing. Unless they can awaken from the heart, a revolution from within, a revolution from the heart, against their culture. Otherwise, such tragedies will not stop. Therefore, we would also like to remind our American friends that they should learn more from the advanced and humanist cultural spirit of France in order to get rid of the evil thoughts in their souls. Eventually make yourself a truly civilized person. Our propaganda should follow this routine. Finally, Lucien concluded.
