Ding Yuntong believes that on this shijie, there are different ways of brainwashing, autocracy has authoritarian brainwashing, and democracy has democratic brainwashing.

How to identify brainwashing? That is, to use some theories, viewpoints, and concepts to fix a person's thinking, so that he is unable and unwilling to carefully observe other political systems, and is unable and unwilling to think about whether other political systems are reasonable, even if the rationality is very limited.

Authoritarian brainwashing is the use of administrative orders to force the people to accept a way of thinking and protect the legitimacy of their rule.

The brainwashing of democracy is to make the people actively or passively format through the inculcation of many theories and doctrines and the use of all kinds of beautiful and beautiful embellishments. At the same time, a strong and unified public opinion atmosphere has been formed in the whole society, and no one dares to and cannot go against this public opinion atmosphere, and this public opinion atmosphere is called "values".

Guo Songtao's so-called theory of economic development, in Ding Yuntong's view, is the result of being brainwashed by the West.

What does it mean that the state does not intervene, what does it mean that the market is the core, and what does it mean that trade should be free?

To put it bluntly, in a word, it is a fait accompli to endure the Western industrial powers and dominate shijie economic activities.

In order to protect this fait accompli, the West has invented a series of theories, such as market economy and free trade, to brainwash intellectuals like Guo Songtao and make them think that the truth is in their own hands. If intellectuals are used to influence the development process of backward countries, then backward countries will always be only a dumping ground for raw materials and industrial products of advanced countries.

Ding Yuntong said in his heart: "I refuse this kind of brainwashing!"

China can only be brainwashed by me, not by others!

In the end, who is truly patriotic and truly loves the Chinese nation!

Isn't it patriotic to let the Chinese nation always be a backward race?

Is it patriotic to let China always be a backward country? ＂

Looking up at the sky, Ding Yuntong sighed: "Tens of millions of people have died to build a powerful and feared Great China Empire!"

A hundred years from now, all Chinese will call me a tyrant!

But five hundred years, a thousand years from now, all the Chinese will thank me!

In the process, there may be a lot of tragedy. So what, isn't this shijie full of tragedy at any moment? ＂

On March 26, Guo Songtao was demoted to deputy director of the Organization Department, and the post of minister was held by Liu Kunyi.

On the same day, the published an editorial written by Ding Yuntong himself, titled Adhere to the Central Idea of Industrialization."

The editorial noted: "In this shijie of the jungle, everything can only follow the law of the jungle, and everything can only consider the principle of strength. To defend the country and the nation, we can only become strong as quickly as possible, and there is no other way out.

China is a backward country, and the most difficult thing for a backward country is that it cannot establish a heavy industry system through market economy and free trade. Without a heavy industry system, it will never be possible to compete with advanced competitors in the context of free trade. After the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, fortunate Western countries were the first to establish a system of heavy industry, thus gaining an advantage in the shijie trading system, and cemented this position through free trade.

In this case, China has no choice but to forcibly build a heavy industry system in a relatively short period of time by means of state intervention, rather than relying on market autonomy. Of course, we will face many difficulties in the process.

In the end, will we overcome difficulties and become a dignified and powerful country? Or do we give up our efforts and be trampled under the feet of other powers forever? This is how history asks questions, and how do we answer them? How should you answer as a patriot? ＂

Once again, the article emphasizes the necessity, uniqueness and beauty of industrialization. And the difficulties in practice are likened to the relationship between nine fingers and one finger, the achievement is the main thing, the overall is haode, the general direction is correct, and the mainstream is right.

After the editorial was published, it aroused great repercussions in the whole society under the vigorous operation of the Propaganda Department.

At the beginning of April, Ding Yuntong finally sacrificed his secret weapon, so that the domestic political controversy finally settled completely.

History has taught Ding Yuntong that the best way to solve internal contradictions is to create external contradictions, that is, to shape enemies and transfer contradictions. Use an external hot spot to divert the internal focus, and at the same time unite the will and unite the outside.

So, just at the right time, the "Lin Shigong Incident" happened.

On April 7, 1883, Lin Shigong, the former secretary of the Ryukyu State, committed suicide by swinging a knife in front of the Japanese Legation in China in order to protest Japan's annexation of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and public opinion was in an uproar.

In fact, this was planned by Ding Yuntong behind the scenes.

When Japan annexed the Ryukyus, the Ryukyu king Shotai and his son Shonori, as well as the ministers, were taken to Tokyo and placed under house arrest.

But at the same time, there were also a group of Ryukyu officials who were unwilling to give in, Cai Dading, Lin Shigong, Mao Jingchang and others came to China to ask for assistance, and the leader was Shang Dehong, the elder brother of the Ryukyu king. Although Ding Yuntong did not directly intervene for reasons of national policy, Shang Dehong and others were still protected and promised to help the Ryukyus recover once the time was ripe.

And now, Ding Yuntong feels that the time is ripe to use the Ryukyu issue to create public opinion for the war between China and Japan.

The day after Lin Shigong's suicide, the published a signed editorial: , the article listed the long history of the Ryukyu Kingdom as a vassal of China in the past, and how it was annexed by Japan, and called for "now, the time has come for the unresolved Ryukyu issue to be discussed again!" ＂

And the major newspapers and magazines in China have also begun to attack Japan in an all-round way. The history of the Ryukyus, its vassal relations with China, and how it was annexed by Japan filled the pages, and the people quickly threw the industrialization debate out of the clouds.
