Chapter 176: Push
Eugen's efforts are secondary, and the most important thing is that the victims are very cooperative.
This is a strange situation, and according to past experience, there are often many problems among these affected refugees, because of the sudden disaster, each of them will have some resentment in their hearts.
They resented God and brought disaster upon the world, and they resented the noble lords who abandoned them even more, and the priests who deceived them.
Some people will show this resentment, and some people will suppress it, but no matter what, it will have a big impact on the next resettlement work.
In some places, there may even be riots against the soldiers who have come to resettle them, and violent clashes may erupt between the two.
These things may sound stupid, but they are also human, and outsiders will never know the pain of those people.
For this reason, Eugen had made a lot of preparations before, and he formed a light cavalry of 500 men to be on standby at any time, just to deal with all kinds of unexpected situations.
However, what is surprising is that these expected situations did not occur at all, and everyone affected by the disaster was not only extremely cooperative with the actions of the anti-disaster army, but even full of gratitude.
The victims found the soldiers of the anti-disaster army, like a wandering child who had found a home, both in expression and behavior, and some even took the initiative to help the anti-disaster army in their work.
In this way, all the work is carried out naturally and smoothly, and a lot of unnecessary troubles are avoided.
Many people were very surprised by this situation, so they conducted an investigation in private, and it didn't take long for the results of the investigation to come out.
It turned out that there were rumors circulating among the victims, and it was these vague rumors that comforted the victims, left them with some hope in their hearts, and gave them a strong sense of belonging to the Po River defense line.
And all the rumors point to the same person without exception, that is, ---- Eugen, the commander of the disaster resistance army sitting in the front area of the Po River defense line.
"Huh? Are you saying that after investigation, those people are all because of me, so they will cooperate like this?! Eugen's expression was surprised and questioning, of course he would also send someone to investigate the situation among the victims, and the final result was all because of him, which surprised Eugen very much.
The intelligence spy in charge of reporting is Dirmit's person, who belongs to the role of the 'node' in Dimmit's huge intelligence system, and he generally summarizes the information from the investigation in various places, and then reports directly to the people who need this information.
Dirmit was called the 'Spider', and his subordinates had a similar title---- Spider Festival, which means the joint part of the spider and is also an important guarantee of the spider's strong mobility.
Right now, a spider knot is reporting like Eugen, and seeing Eugen's reaction, this spider knot, who has handled many important actions, is also a little confused.
In addition to collecting intelligence, they are also responsible for processing intelligence, that is, speculating, synthesizing, interpreting, and so on.
When they heard the news from the victims, they speculated that it was a special arrangement by Count Eugen in order to stabilize the hearts of the victims and spread their reputation.
But now it seems that Eugen didn't know about it at all, it was a completely natural event.
Most of the time, Spider Festival does not express their opinions, so they often cover their faces with black veils, after all, the expression on their faces is also a kind of information leakage.
Hearing Eugen's question, the spider knot nodded, and said in a very positive tone: "That's right, that's what we've investigated, and there are now rumors about you among the victims. ”
A living legend, what does this really mean? Eugen didn't know if it was good or bad.
Of course, at least for the time being, these legends are not harmful to the disaster relief work, but have a lot of benefits, and after thinking about it, Eugen has an idea in his heart.
Because Dirmit is now subordinate to Eugen, Eugen's orders are also issued through these spider knots, and at this moment he simply said: "Well, this is not bad, at least it will be of great help to the disaster prevention work." Well, you arrange for your people not to stop this rumor, and just continue to let them circulate among the crowd, but pay attention to the content of the rumor and give some guidance so that the rumor changes in favor of the disaster. ”
This is easy to say, but it requires extraordinary abilities and a variety of harsh conditions to do, but now that the rumors have a certain basis, and there are Dimmit's intelligence forces to use, it is not impossible to do this.
The spider got the order and went down to start arranging, they are all professionals in the field of intelligence, as long as the conditions are right, it is not a difficult task to spread some news.
Eugen sat alone in his office, with a meaningful expression on his face, manipulating public opinion, which was an extremely common method in later generations, but it was relatively rare in this era.
As long as this kind of thing is used properly, it will be beneficial and harmless, and it can be said to be a very powerful force.
As soon as he thought of the possible benefits of this incident, Eugen was happy that the flowers were about to bloom, but he still suppressed his excitement and said silently in his heart: "Ahem, low-key, low-key, the burden of idols is also very troublesome." ”
With the impetus of the Dirmit intelligence team, the rumors spread like wildfire, and the intelligence forces also added some favorable elements to these rumors, such as quarantine can control diseases, etc.
With the help of these rumors, the understanding of the disease has also improved greatly, the resettlement and isolation work has been done very smoothly, and everything is changing for the better.
At the same time, Eugen's name spread throughout the Frontier and began to spread inland.
In this era of lack of entertainment, people's interest in new things is very high, and heroic events like Eugen are even more talked about.
Gradually, even among the nobles, there began to be rumors about Eugen's deeds, and most people heard about it with a kind of mindset that they were not affected by the disaster, and they did not need any heroes to save them.
Some people sneered secretly when they heard it, and secretly scolded Eugen for being a deceitful and stealing his name, but it was not convenient to bring up such words, and no one would take this kind of rumor seriously.
Only a small number of people can understand the horror of this power of public opinion, and at the same time they have a new understanding of the little-known Count Eugen.
In Vienna, when Duke Ji'an heard the report of his subordinates, he also smiled and said: "Hahaha, this little guy really has a set." ”
