Chapter 153, Brainwashing Myth
"Thor, welcome to London!"
Walking down the streets of London, Tov heard a voice behind him, none other than his friend Cleon Ivanov, whom he was going to see today.
Both were declining Russian aristocrats, and after the outbreak of the Russian Civil War, Tov stayed in Bulgaria, while Cleon came to England to develop, and the two had not seen each other for seven or eight years.
"Cleon, long time no see, how are you doing?" Thor asked excitedly
"Barely make do, London is not easy to mix! I'm just barely standing now, the British are very xenophobic, and it's so hard to get into high society!
What about you, Tove? How's it going to be mixed in Bulgaria? Cleon asked excitedly
"You know, Bulgaria and Russia, although they are next to each other, are actually two worlds, and when I arrived in Bulgaria, I ended my business.
With the qualifications of serving in the navy and fighting with the Ottomans, he worked as a captain in a shipping company, and this delivery will stop by you! Thor said with a happy smile
Compared to ordinary people, they are not bad mixed up, but they are getting farther and farther away from the upper class society in their target.
"Let's go, let's go have a drink, the ghost weather in London, it's really not a place for people outside!" Cleon proposed
"Great idea!" Thor said with a smile
This is very Russy, and a man who doesn't like to drink must not be a pure Russian!
After entering the bar, Thor asked suspiciously, "Why are so many people talking about stocks?" Are you sure you're in the wrong place, this is a pub and not a stock exchange? ”
"Sure! Stocks are already a part of life in London, in addition to talking about stocks, it is also about discussing the weather in London. Cleon said
"It's the financial center of the world, and I've never seen a discussion of stocks in Bulgaria.
And the weather in London is really bad, I really don't know if I will die if I live here for a long time! Thor thought for a moment and complained
"Bulgaria is the most conservative country in Europe, stocks are illegal, who would be interested in these!
And the weather in London, you are not wrong, it is really bad, and it is really damning to stay here for a long time!
I leave London every weekend to go to the countryside to enjoy the blue skies and white clouds, hoping to retire soon and get away from this hellish place completely! Cleon took a sip of his wine and said
"This is all self-inflicted, leaving here, you can also live a good life, I remember that you are still a top student at Moscow University, where will you lose a bowl of rice to eat?" Thor struck
"Well, it's a mistake to discuss this with you, and your mouth is still so bad.
If it weren't for your foul mouth, you would be an admiral of the Russian Empire by now! Cleon shot back
"There is no way, this bad problem can't be changed, besides, is there still a Russian Empire?" Thor said with a wry smile
"This is really a sad topic, the empire we have fought for for half our lives, is so gone, it is really unacceptable!
Blame the damned rebels, and that idiot Nicholas II, what a piece of rubbish, can't even handle a small rebellion! Cleon said with a bitter face
"Don't be so righteous, Cleon! With the collapse of the Russian Empire, we were all sinners, and we were all moths of this empire in the first place.
From top to bottom, this country has rotten, and now Nicholas II's waste snacks can keep the territory of Western Russia, it is already very difficult! Thor said after a moment's thought
"No, isn't your patriotic fervor gone? Not trying to reunite the Russian Empire? Cleon asked in surprise
"Alas, the taste of this wine is too light, I still prefer Volga!
Of course, I don't lack patriotic enthusiasm, but I'm already Bulgarian, so let's stop talking about it! Thor took a long sip of his wine and said
"Are you desperate?" Cleon asked, confused
"That's right, you're too far away to understand what's going on! Now Western Russia, Eastern Russia, and Soviet Russia, each one is worse than the other, this is an era that is worse than the other, and it is nothing more than the question of which one is worse than them!
Such a government, who do you want me to support? Create a new government and overthrow them all? I'm not that capable! Thor said, drinking
If Ferdinand had been here, he would have been happy to say that the brainwashing effort in Bulgaria had succeeded!
Take out the most unacceptable weaknesses of each government and compare them with propaganda, and then the Russian immigrants can easily conclude that the above three governments are rotten!
There is no oil and vinegar, all of them are real people and real things, there are pictures and truths, and there are a large number of witnesses. Without much fanfare, it spread silently among the Russian emigrants.
The more you know, the more desperate you become, and it's okay to spread rumors and slanders, but there is evidence for all of them, and most of them are spontaneously propagated by Russian immigrants.
It's all black history, and some people have experienced it themselves, and they are natural propagandists.
Every day I listen to some infuriating news, and after a long time, there is naturally a strong resentment.
The most typical is the beginning of the outbreak of the Russian Civil War. There are still many people who donate money and materials to the government, and now no matter which government sends people to collect donations, there are no people who bird them.
This is Ferdinand's conspiracy, I am just promoting your black history, but the things are all true, and I didn't make it up, even if I want to clear my name, there are many parties who come out to testify.
Under the long-term baptism, Thor was naturally affected, but Cleon, who was far away in London, did not feel it too deeply.
"Oh, it looks like you know a lot of the inside story, can you tell me?" Cleon asked with concern
Like many wanderers, even if they are exiled to a foreign land, they still care about the affairs of their hometown.
"Are you sure you want to listen? I can tell you, when you listen to it, your outlook on life will change completely!
To say that they are the government is actually to look down on them, to describe them as beasts, to look down on them is to completely look down on them, and to insult them! Toff said excitedly
"It seems that they have done a lot of angry things, otherwise you wouldn't be so angry! But now, I'm even more confused, can you tell me? Cleon asked, confused
"Alright then, that's what you want to hear, and if you feel disgusting, you can choose to get yourself drunk!" Toff said cautiously
"Say it, stop talking nonsense!" Cleon said eagerly
……
Sure enough, the best propagandists are always by your side. You may be skeptical of other people's words, but what about your own friends and relatives?
When your relatives and friends swear to you that there is no Internet in this era, and the transoceanic telegraph is very expensive, there is no way to verify it, you have a preconceived idea.
Inadvertently, Bulgaria's brainwashing propaganda has spread across the ocean and all over the world.
According to the normal dissemination situation, as long as a message is spread by five people, the content will change its taste, and it is not known how many people's mouths have passed through it when it spreads from Bulgaria to London.
Between truth and rumors, there is a growing distance, and it is always human nature to exaggerate.
The initial content is just difficult for everyone to accept, but it's none of their business, and the feeling is not necessarily very deep, and in the end it is already angry and resentful.
Listening to Thor's words, Cleon was already angry.
"That's right, you're right, they're all a bunch of beasts, and they're all going to hell!
Even if such a Russian Empire exists, it will be of no use, and from now on the Russian Empire will have nothing to do with me! ”
"Drink bar, my friend, get drunk and get some sleep, and everything will be fine tomorrow!" Thor reassured
Two drunkards began their journey to get drunk. Everyone has seen this situation a lot, and they don't bother to pay attention to them except for despising it.
The combat effectiveness of Russian drunkards is also world-classified, and the two of them are estimated to be able to fight three or four before they get drunk, and there is no problem in dealing with seven or eight after they are drunk.
The English gentlemen, when they go head-to-head in close combat, are usually no match for the Russian drunks, which is a painful lesson that many people have learned from their own experience.
London is an international metropolis, and the bar owners are also very experienced, and they have seen drunkards all over the world.
As long as you have money, everything is easy to say, if you are drunk and throw it upstairs to rest, when you settle the wine money the next day, it is not what they say, how can the two drunks know how much wine they have drunk in total?
Kaizi who is sent to the door, if you don't slaughter it, you won't slaughter it!
