Chapter 635, Propaganda Brings Out Public Opinion, Propaganda Comes Out of War

"What should you do with the president or the senators, what are you going to do with me?" Scrooge asked.

"Mr. MacDonald, I mean, the United States should not continue to be isolated." Sir Woodgad said, "I know that your interests are fundamentally aligned with ours at the present time. Germany is struggling to hold on, but Britain is also struggling. I don't want to shy away from that. So, whether in England, France, or Germany, war weariness is very high today. If the war does not end as soon as possible, the possibility of a revolution is very high, whether it is for us, the French, or the Germans. In fact, on the battlefield, both we and the Germans relied on all kinds of medicines to maintain morale. You know the side effects of the heavy use of these medicines. If the war continues, maybe you will have a chance to see a communist Europe. At that time, all your and your family's investments in Europe will be confiscated, and they will never recognize the debt we have issued.

And now, Mr. MacDonald, it is not really difficult to end the war, because both we and the Germans are exhausted. At some point, if the United States can join in, it will create an overwhelming advantage over Germany, and even directly lead to the collapse of German morale. The point is that the United States must enter the war.

And after the defeat of Germany, the whole of Europe needs to be rebuilt, which is a big deal. If the United States had not made a crucial contribution to the defeat of Germany, it would have been difficult for the United States to gain much of its share with all due respect.

Mr. MacDonald, I know you have a lot of friends in American politics. I know that you control the largest media conglomerate in the United States. You have the power to influence policy across the United States. In terms of American influence, you have far more influence than any political celebrity. So, we feel that looking for you is more effective than anyone else in this matter. ”

"You're exalting me too much, I'm just a businessman." Scrooge said quietly, "But if you want to help restore peace as soon as possible, I'm still willing to help." Only, as you know, the American people generally think that the Old World and the New World are two worlds. In particular, the war on the Old Continent was so cruel that the American people were certainly unwilling to participate in the war, and unless the Germans did something that angered them, the American people would not support the war. ”

"Isn't there such a thing as unlimited submarine warfare?" Sir Woodgad said.

"Although the unrestricted submarine war reversed the attitude of the Americans towards Germany, to be honest, the American people were more sympathetic to Germany at the beginning of the war. Although the American people's impression of Germany has dropped a lot because of the problem of unrestricted submarine warfare, it is still far from enough to say that the American people are willing to go to war against Germany for this reason. Scrooge replied, shaking his head.

"Mr. MacDonald, you have the largest media mouthpieces in the United States in your hands, and you can use them to influence the American people and change their attitudes." Sir Woodhead said.

"Ah, sir. First of all, I would like to clarify that your statement is very wrong. In my hands, the McDonald consortium doesn't control a lot of the media. The most important newspapers in the United States, some of the most politically influential radio stations, and so on, are completely independent. I have neither the ability nor the desire to manipulate public opinion. The most important thing for the news media is to tell the truth and have the right conscience. The greatest merit of our American media is that they have both the truth and the conscience. Scrooge said seriously.

Strictly speaking, Scrooge is not wrong. It's true that MacDonald doesn't directly control that much of the media, which is legally independent. Their main funders are not MacDonald, but some equally independent non-profit organizations, and the funders of these non-profit organizations -- what do you care about so much? This is confidential, know? It is a trade secret, which is protected by the law. Of course, as one of America's most famous philanthropists, Mr. MacDonald has donated a lot to these non-profit organizations dedicated to noble causes, and there is no doubt about it.

Woodgaard understood that Scrooge meant acknowledging that he had the ability to influence decisions across the United States, but he didn't want to get his hands dirty for it. So he needs a "truth" with a "conscience".

"Ah, there is both truth and conscience." Sir Woodgate repeated quietly. Then he said: "Mr. MacDonald, the truth of the real conscience is that the German Empire was a destroyer of peace, a threat to world peace and to the happy life of mankind, not only to the countries of Europe, but also to North America, and even to the whole world. Isn't exposing these things exactly what any conscientious media should do? ”

What Sir Woodgaard said is indeed true, the German Empire is of course a destroyer of peace, he set off an arms race in the army, navy and navy, it has organized a huge Allied military organization, he wants to change the status quo of the world ruled by the British, and this means war, so of course he is a destroyer of peace. This is indeed the truth. Moreover, if Germany unifies Europe, after seizing more markets, the industry of the Germans will inevitably expand rapidly, and then one day the new markets he has obtained will also be saturated, and then they will inevitably reach out to the Americas, and they will inevitably have a sharp confrontation with the United States. So in the long run, they are indeed a threat to the United States.

But the people who fight the villains are not necessarily good people, just like the people who shoot with the underworld are not necessarily the police, but they may also be a darker underworld. Britain and France, which stand opposite Germany, are also a threat to world peace, and of course, if the people of the world are obediently slaves, peace can still be guaranteed. They were also a threat to the United States, and even decades ago, the British set fire to the White House, and more recently, in the Civil War, the British had been secretly helping the South to divide itself.

Of course, the United States is just as a threat to them. The big countries that have achieved industrialization will naturally be antagonistic because of the competition for the market. They both want to destroy each other's industries and turn each other into their own raw material sources and dumping markets, and they are worried that their own industries will be destroyed and turned into other people's colonies. So they all looked at each other with very suspicious eyes......

The ferocity of a lion, the cowardice of a rabbit, the cunning of a fox,......

However, now, Germany, which is congenitally deficient, has become the easiest of these gluttons to start and the easiest to put on the table......

"You're right. Sir Woodgaard. Indeed, we should expose them for what they really are, call on the American people to be vigilant, and fight these jackals. Scrooge smiled and replied, "For that, we need more truth." ”

……

God said there should be light, and there was light.

Scrooge said that the American people need to know the truth, and there is the truth.

The first truth that is thrown out is a map, which is a map about the division of spheres of influence in South America. On this map, many South American countries are marked as colonies or protectorates of Germany or Austria-Hungary, including Cuba.

The origin of this map is said to have been stolen from the German government by a brave and strong American full of love for his homeland and a conscientious German who opposed colonialism. For this, the conscientious German finally gave his precious life for it......

This kind of news, at first, the Americans did not believe it. Soon, however, more evidence was revealed, including the plans of the German military to attack the United States across the sea after the war in Europe and turn it into a German colony.

Generally speaking, the military of various countries, even in peacetime, in order to be prepared, or to train staff officers, or simply to give those Qiu Ba something to do, will formulate a whole lot of chaotic combat almost. Because of this, some of the plans are premised even to the point of absurdity. For example, in the original time and space, at the time of World War II, the Americans watched from the sidelines, and at the same time asked the staff officers to compile a "rainbow battle plan" that singled out the whole world; Later, the U.S. military played more new gadgets and formulated a series of so-called battle plans to beat aliens, small monsters, Decepticons and even zombies. A battle plan like this is actually more of a kind of training. Most of the time, it's just a matter of making a record and then you can put all this mess on the shelf, and it doesn't really mean that you are going to follow that plan. For example, many people in later generations believed that the so-called "even if the Germans did not invade the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union would take the initiative to invade Germany" thunderstorm plan of the Soviet Union is actually this kind of thing.

So if you want to ask, does Germany have a war plan against the United States, it definitely is. But to ask whether this plan is really going to be carried out is another matter. In general, the vast majority of such plans are impossible to implement.

However, the American people do not understand this, so after seeing such news, they are naturally filled with righteous indignation. In addition, the newspaper that reported the news also emphasized that the plan was rich in content and of a very high level of professionalism, and it was definitely written by a group of experienced professional staff officers who had been trained in the military academy, rather than one or two people making it up blindly. Their speculation is very close to the truth, because the plan was made up by British professionals. And the reason why it was compiled so quickly is, of course, because Britain already had such a war plan against the United States.
