"This won't work! Let's take control of the news port? You can also think of it, if this matter is exposed, wouldn't the credibility of our empire be greatly reduced?! ”

"That's it, paper can't hold the fire, besides, you choked the telegram, but there are merchant ships coming and going, and it will be exposed sooner or later."

At the emergency meeting of the Reich, Liszt had proposed a way to deal with the slanderous attacks on the Reich by the British and French, and that was for us to control the Atlantic cable.

However, such a method was immediately opposed by others, obviously this method has too many loopholes, and this is obviously more important than the defense of the people...... Well, it's the other way around.

"This method still doesn't work, we can't close ourselves off from the country in terms of information." Li Mengyang finally set the tone, but however, he did not criticize Liszt.

There is a connotation here, after all, Liszt has helped Li Mengyang do a lot of things, and there is a bit of something like that, but this kind of thing, someone has to do it, and besides, everyone still needs to speak enthusiastically.

"So what can we do?" Liszt understood when he heard this, and he was a little happy in his heart, but he was also a little more careful in his words.

"Your Majesty! Comrades, I think this can be done from another angle! ”

This time it was Mark Twain who spoke, and his speech was the kind that made people feel confident when they heard it.

"What angle?" Of course, Li Mengyang was attracted to it, because Mark Twain's brain is still very good, so if it's okay, I'll sarcastically mock you, so I'm afraid this angle is also ......

"This formulation of ideological warfare. I couldn't agree more! Your Majesty is indeed a wise monarch! We're ...... "not done yet......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！”

Such a good opportunity to pat yourself on the back. How can you let it go?

"......" Li Mengyang was really a little speechless. Really, but he didn't do it either.

"Ahem ......" To be honest, if it were an ordinary person, then Mark Twain would definitely have to go back and write an article to satirize him, but for this majesty in front of him, really, this emperor is really too powerful, so. Just cough and the article is gone, and Mark Twain continued.

"To put it simply, ideological warfare is the same as ordinary warfare. It is only now that I understand why His Majesty the Emperor summoned several of our comrades generals, that is, this kind of war must have strategic and tactical thinking, then, since it is a war, from the perspective of strategic thinking, then on the battlefield of this ideology. We need to try to gain an advantage on the battlefield just like we do on a normal battlefield. So...... I'm sure the generals have the answer in their hearts, right? ”

As soon as Mark Twain finished speaking, he naturally set his eyes on the general of the empire, but it was not ......

"What?"

“WHAT？”

I don't know why...... It's also normal, most of these generals are big and coarse, but they are not ......

"Occupy the high ground!" Joshua. Chamberlain didn't say anything, and then he finally spoke, and as soon as it came out.

"That's right!"

"That's right! I was meant to say this! ”

"Haha! Don't brag! ”

Needless to say, obviously this occupation of the commanding heights is the correct answer, and Mark Twain also nodded with a smile, I can't help but laugh, these generals attending the meeting, even O'Casey is actually a big boss, so he can match a literati like Mark Twain, that is, Joshua. Chamberlain is a general who graduated from Bowdoin College.

Li Mengyang looked at all this, and he naturally laughed, but he didn't forget the point, "Then how to occupy the commanding heights?" What is the cultural high ground? ”

As soon as he heard His Majesty the Emperor ask, Mark Twain unconsciously came to his senses, "To put it simply, to paraphrase a Chinese saying, that is, 'Wen Wu is the first'!" ”

No first?!

"Good!" As soon as Li Mengyang heard it, he immediately understood!

What does he Li Mengyang understand?

In fact, it is also simple, to translate Mark Twain's words, that is, 'In the war of ideology, our empire will be compared with other European powers, and compared with our culture!'" ’

How can this culture be compared? Isn't it 'the first in the text'? Then this culture is very incomparable, each flower has its own eyes, Li Mengyang is a liberal arts student, don't you know?

It is indeed difficult to compare, but it is not incomparable, and this culture, for example, the atmosphere of literature, the level of literary works, the ideas of literary works, and poetry and music......

These are the commanding heights of the cultural field in this year, literature, music...... In particular, there is a lot of fine music, symphonies, operas, dance dramas...... Anyway, it's the kind of thing that is very high-grade and has a very hypnotic effect in later generations!

Anyway, it must not be market culture, of course Li Mengyang will not discriminate against any market culture, the four in his family still rub hemp every day, but the current direction is very good, that is, to compete with the European powers in literature!

But this thing, what is the level of literary works, the ideology...... The atmosphere is okay to say, if you build more libraries and force ordinary people to read, it may be successful, but the level, thinking, this must not be a genius-type character?

Mark Twain is good, but his level is ......

Li Mengyang doesn't look down on Mark Twain, but the reality is that these satirical sketches of Mark Twain may be able to make people laugh, but it is really not enough to compete with those writers on the European continent.

And, in fact, the American literary world ...... Really, his Li Mengyang's "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" really raised the quality of the American literary world, and American literature is hillbilly literature in the eyes of Europeans, and even Americans themselves think so.

Let's talk about Mark Twain, and later generations also attributed him to a representative of American vernacular literature...... Rustic, earthy.

So what's going to happen to this thing? Are we just waiting for a genius to be born?

Li Mengyang is not that kind of person, and he is not out of the question, after listening to him a good word. Then he continued.

"I already understand the words of Comrade Mark Twain. Occupy the high ground. This will be a long-term strategic goal, and for this goal, our empire must vigorously develop the cultural industry! Here, I propose that the cultural industry can be tilted in policy, filial piety, you record it, and then go to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Taxation will look into it. ”

"Yes!" Lin Xiaoyi heard that the spirit was coming, this majesty is going to engage in a new policy!

Li Mengyang was not ambiguous, and immediately said: "First of all, we must reduce taxes on the publishing industry of the empire!" We don't do that kind of financial support, because it's a bit stupid. But it is necessary to reduce the tax, and in addition, we need to reduce the copyright tax on writers. And then there's the publisher's tax. Taxes on printing houses. As for the music, those theaters or something. If you can cut taxes, you can cut taxes, isn't there a Broadway in New York? It's better to do more around the country...... Of course, we will continue to vigorously support education...... That's basically what I'm thinking about now, and you can add to it. ”

"Your Majesty!" After Li Mengyang finished speaking, Mark Twain was always happy, "You are definitely the wisest monarch!" ”

Hey~ Mark Twain, he should have been a writer who satirized politicians all day long, but now, against Li Mengyang, this is simply ......

“ALL-HAIL-LEE！” The imperial ministers said in their hearts, this sycophant can't let your Minister of Culture shoot alone!

Is it really as Mark Twain said, that these policies are really so wise?

It should be said that these things launched by Li Mengyang are in essence not of much help to improve the cultural level, connotation, ideology, elegance and so on of the empire.

Because from the root, for example, when a peerless book or something appears, it is often that no matter how much money you invest, it may not be useful.

However, Li Mengyang is still investing money, and these policies are actually using money to pile up, using money to do it, and reducing taxes is to invest money!

But there is one thing, Li Mengyang, a liberal arts student, knows that a good literary work must have its foundation and soil, and this foundation is ......

To put it bluntly, there must be a large number of garbage works, garbage articles, and then in so much garbage, it is possible to appear gold, pearls, and really good works!

If there is no garbage, then good works will not come out, literature is like this, the culture that can give birth to good works must be broad in itself, it must be profound, without any exceptions.

Moreover, even if our piece of America is in the field of European and American literature, even if we can't produce any top-notch peerless works, but according to Li Mengyang's approach, then we must have more in number!

My large number is also a kind of victory, the so-called quantitative change causes qualitative change, this is an absolute truth in the field of culture!

And don't underestimate this number, just say who is the most poet in our Chinese history?

Qianlong, this old guy almost has to write a poem, and this poem is written ...... Sincerely.

But you don't care what level he is, but he just writes.

Qianlong wrote more than any poet of his time, so what does this mean?

Right! Qianlong was actually trying to occupy the commanding heights in the cultural field!

Qianlong's poems are really not written in vain, and every time they are written, they let people like Ji Xiaolan read and evaluate, why? The purpose is the same as it is now.

You see, he has engaged in so many literary prisons, and then he writes his own poems, isn't this just fighting with the scholars of the Han people?

Of course, Li Mengyang will not learn from Qianlong's petty family, let's do this, it is conducive to the cultural industry, the current cultural industry, on the one hand is the vernacular literary movement, and then on the other hand, and vigorously reduce taxes, as long as this step continues, then my American empire will slowly be able to hold the bull's ear of European and American culture!

And ah, we Chinese may be able to intervene!

That's all there is to it, but Joshua, who has been talking very little. Chamberlain spoke.

"Your Majesty! Actually, I think these remarks on the European continent are very easy to deal with, really. ”

"What?!"

Is it easy to deal with? This is an ideological war...... (To be continued......)

PS: Sincerely thank Ningbo Feng for the continuous reward! Black car sincere thanks! Thank you very much!

Well, the black car seems to have said it again, that is, the Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates, so it seems that they did not raise interest rates at this meeting, and there is news that a new round of easing is coming soon, and the US government has also made an early gesture, they have raised the debt ceiling one step ahead, and it has been rectified directly to two years later, these columns...... What the black car said before has basically been verified, because this situation is that the world's major central banks are releasing water, and this situation only appeared after 2008...... Hey, the global economy is really pessimistic, but the black car is still the same sentence, optimistic about the future of China's economy...... That's a bit much, thank you very much!
