Chapter Ninety-Seven: Who Is the Dictator?
(2nd update completed)
Things really did not surprise Surkov, and after the Soviet Union came up with a theme of "I am a Soviet aggressor", the United States immediately launched a counterattack and came up with a theme of "Free America". In addition to showing the strong military strength of the United States, the stability and prosperity of the people, and the dazzling variety of goods, the video also shows the history of the American people who have struggled for freedom and independence for hundreds of years.
From the moment the Mayflower set foot on the North American continent, to the sound of the Lexington guns in 1775, marking the complete start of the American people's war for independence, to the release of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and then to the sounding of the horn of the North and South American War in 1861, through the scroll of history to the heroic battle of Midway in World War II, the belief of one country, freedom and equality are the common hope and pursuit of all American people.
The atmosphere and rendering are very adequate, and instead of deliberately highlighting the tragedy and grandeur like the Soviet Union, the eloquent narrative only adds a sense of the American people's trust in the country and support for the shameless dream of "one America, one world".
The United States clearly wants to use this video to compare the backward and scarce material life of the Soviet Union, and in their view, the Red Empire is a deformed war machine, an extreme regime that cares nothing about the living standards of the people.
After seeing the news report, President Bush praised Robert of the CIA with great satisfaction, and although the current public opinion offensive was overstepping, Bush did not have much to do after the results were achieved.
"Well done guys." Robert, who was in a good mood, opened a glass of champagne in his office to celebrate, raised his glass and smiled and said, "Come, toast to our victory." ”
And those elites just barely managed to squeeze out a smile. They don't have that much energy, and they haven't closed their eyes for almost four days in order to cope with this publicity. One by one, the plans were rejected, and in the end, even they began to doubt whether their lives were still meaningful.
"Cheers to victory." Everyone shuffled in a languid tone of limp to celebrate yet another great victory over the evil Empire's propaganda offensive. Only the director Owen, who was standing on the side, silently lit a cigarette, but his tired expression could not hide the anticipation in his eyes, he stood on the thirteenth floor, looking at the colorful night scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said to himself.
"Heh, I really don't know what kind of exciting new offensive those interesting opponents will take in the next round."
Of course, if they saw that the Soviet Union had easily dissolved all their efforts, what kind of miserable expressions would they have been.
When the news of this American propaganda film reached the ears of the top brass in Moscow, they only smiled slightly, as if they didn't care much. They have long had a trump card in their hands and are waiting for the Americans to broadcast this propaganda film.
Soon a piece of mail signed Soviet propaganda arrived in the mailbox of Grubia TV, and when the staff opened the package, there was only a videotape with the words "Who is the dictator?" on it, and when they found that when they opened the video, it was tantamount to opening Pandora's box. After watching the videotape, the staff gritted their teeth and asked the director next to him what to do with this videotape?
The director realized that this was an opportunity to increase ratings, but did not know if the tape had been copied and sent to other stations. The sooner such a video is broadcast, the higher the ratings will definitely be, and the more likely it is to overtake other radio stations.
So the director didn't even think about it, so he asked them to play the video.
Of course, the director of "Free America", who has the same idea as Columbia TV, also made this tape public for the first time. As a result, another propaganda film that had a far-reaching impact on American society was broadcast on major TV stations.
The proletariat has no homeland because they want to break the chains of the old world and build a truly egalitarian society, and the capitalists have no borders, because they can sell the country for the sake of profit.
And on this day, the big screen in New York's fashion square, the big broadcast of Columbia TV, and the news program on the TV all felt the shock propaganda from the Soviets.
"From the founding of the state to the present, the Soviets have been called by the Western world as a brutal evil empire, a prison for the people and the number one threat to world peace. Unfortunately, history has been repeating itself in another country, and they have never been judged justly. ”
This passage is narrated by a proletarian man in oil-stained blue overalls, with an ordinary face that cannot be seen in ordinary people, and there is nothing remarkable about him, but the content and tone of his voice have a shocking power.
The big screen behind the man is flashing pictures and clips, many of which are the dark history of American rednecks who once enslaved others.
"But when you see this propaganda video, indifferently, we are only for your government, the so-called 'brutal Russian monarch' is back, this time he is not playing the image of the aggressor, but the symbol of Themis, the god of justice."
"Western leaders have always fantasized that we are the threat to world peace and freedom, and they are pressing on the Soviet Union with missiles and bombers to truly turn the Soviet Union into a world ruled by their brutal dictators."
"The U.S. government emphasizes freedom and equality, but the world and the people are paying for and bleeding for your brutal dictatorship, and as you see this video, the Indians are living a life of discrimination. They shamelessly commemorated the day of the massacre of the Indians with a Thanksgiving turkey and nearly wiped out the true North American inhabitants from the land. ”
"At the time you see this video, black people in Queens, New York, are engaged in drug trafficking, robbery and other violent incidents, and their lives are still poor. They have never been treated as equals since the slave trade. Although Lincoln issued a proclamation to abolish black slavery, black people are still the focus of the police to this day. There's no why, it's just a difference in skin color. ”
"As you see this video, the workers in the United States are being brutally exploited by the capitalists, and you may not know that April 1914 was the Ludlow Massacre of American workers. The unarmed working class was subjected to bloody repression and merciless massacres for opposing the Rockefeller family's harsh work system, so will you still believe what the Western world says that we are a fair country? ”
"At this very moment, people all over the world are living in agony under the intervention of the United States, and you call the Soviet Union a brutal dictator."
The lowly paid white-collar workers in the New York plaza stopped hurrying in their footsteps, and they all looked up at the man's every move on the screen, as if they were crying silently.
The down-and-out artist who played the violin on the street corner raised his head and looked at the facts stated word by word, and was silent for a long time.
The black man who was fighting in the street also stopped waving his fist and listened silently to his last words.
Unlike the wealthy class who sat on the couch and sneered at this propaganda, those people who were struggling in the bottom of the American society seemed to be frozen in silence at this moment.
Yes, industrious people have forged national wealth that the whole world can be proud of, but a small group of rich people have taken them for themselves, wantonly eroding their humble wealth. Tear off that hypocritical face, bourgeois exploitation and oppression is the real theme of the American dream.
"At this very moment, the Soviets are saving the world, helping you to reclaim true freedom and democracy from the Americans, but you have chosen to stand idly by. When they arrested the Communists, you didn't speak, and when they finally arrested you, no one spoke for you anymore. ”
"Everyone can call this video the propaganda of the Soviet Propaganda Department. Comrades of the proletarian class in the West, when you feel that the capitalists have become good people, when you feel that they suddenly have a conscience and start to care about your life and welfare. ”
The man's eyes in the video suddenly had a stunning look, as if they were shining like a bright North Star. He slowly uttered the last uplifting words.
"Remember, it's because the Soviets still exist!"
