Chapter 513: Father and Son
"I've finally seen the power of guided propaganda." As Jonny was frowning and looking indignant, Robert's voice came from behind him.
Robert came back last night, and the long journey was only two weeks, which was strange to both Jonny and Joanna compared to their previous travel experiences.
He got up very early today, and secretly made smiley pancakes in the kitchen without telling Joanna. And this time, when it was served on the table, the aroma was fragrant, and the neatly shaped cookies seemed to be very good.
After Jonny ate it with some reluctance, he had to admit in his heart that compared to the breakfast that Joanna often cooked, Robert could have scored a higher score this time, and he could actually make a small pancake that could make a flavor comparable to that of Ibic's restaurant.
A breakfast certainly doesn't shorten the distance that Jonny always keeps with Robert, but it does make Joanna feel good for a while. Pressed by his mother, Robert had to admit that he had been practicing for a long time, but Jonny didn't believe it.
In his concept, such a subtle sense of food and seasoning is not something that can be 'practiced', but it seems like it was deliberately messed up before, and now it is just playing to normal strength, but he can't think of any reason why Robert needs to be 'deliberate'.
"Guided propaganda?" Jonny turned his head and glanced at Robert, not knowing what he really meant.
"Strategy, psychology and routines, plus a dedicated team, carefully screened information, purposeful misleading statements, distractions, manipulations, you can think of everything." Robert untied his apron from his waist at this time, and Joanna, who had just finished breakfast happily, snatched the apron and frowned at him.
"How do you tell your child about this?"
"He's not a kid anymore." Robert Muran replied.
"Haven't graduated from high school yet, not a kid yet?" Joanna was a little upset.
"Mom, it's okay, just talk about it at home." Jonny smiled at his mother.
"That's for the best, but these thoughts may make you take another break from school." Joanna couldn't help but remind.
"Are you saying that these videos, speeches, and even trends are being manipulated behind the scenes? There is a group of people who are doing actions that the world does not know about, and for some purpose, they are distorting the concept of the entire Yinmeng? Jonny thought about Robert's words in his head, shaking his head in disbelief.
Seeing that both father and son ignored her, Joanna was worried, but she was a little relieved by the rare harmony between father and son, she sighed and shook her head, so she had to pick up the leftover plates on the small round table and go to the kitchen to clean up, and let them continue to talk.
"It's not a group of people, it's a lot of people." Robert corrects Jonny Dao. And what is an idea? That's what they show you, but what about the ones that don't have a big headline on the front page of the media? Isn't that a concept? ”
"That's not important in people's minds......" Jonny replied hesitantly, already beginning to feel that there was some truth in Robert's words.
So who decides what's important and what's not? Do you think it's the 'ethical' media and journalists? Robert asked him.
"Isn't it? Isn't it the duty of the media to let people know what has happened or is about to happen, to state the facts, to comment on universal values, to provide professional analysis and detailed information? Jonny questioned with a frown.
"What's the responsibility? Maybe it used to be like that. But now they have a choice when the responsibility can be exchanged for a lot of benefits. Robert looked at Johnny coldly, but he noticed the peace in his gaze, and he couldn't help but find that the worry and anxiety of the silver-haired man had disappeared, and was replaced by another tranquility that he couldn't see.
It really looked like he had become a different person, Jonny thought silently to himself.
"Today's media is a battleground of factions, acting as factions as politicians and the interest groups behind them, producing directed journalism and creating a distracting noise......," Robert continued.
"So, as a government official, what are you not going to do?" Jonny interrupts him and questions him.
"Me? An insignificant pawn of the Development Committee? Robert said indifferently.
"But you are clearly acquainted with the next president of the Silver League, and you can come and go as you please in the heavily guarded Minotaur." Seeing that his mother had walked away, Jonny couldn't help but throw his hole cards to Robert, but the latter remained silent.
"It's the flying car's record that betrayed me, right?" Robert could almost immediately think of the reason for the leak, and seeing that Jonny was still staring at him noncommittally, he nodded and said, "Some things are not what you think, this time I went there has nothing to do with the Heisenberg family, just for a private matter, a friend's private matter." ”
"But you lied to your wife." Jonny noted.
"It's just a white lie, and that's a protection for your mother." Robert said coldly. "Johnny, maybe one day you'll understand what I mean."
Robert's words silenced Joni, who had accused him, and it occurred to him that if he was to tell a lie, why hadn't he been deceiving everyone from the beginning?
"As for Sophia. Mrs. Heinrich, after the tragedy in Zoroaster, is still uncertain whether she will be the chairman of the Silver Alliance. Robert said suddenly.
"You mean...... Zoroaster's stellar bomb, the Heisenberg family? Jonny was taken aback when he heard this, although he had doubts, but Robert's words seemed to have some real evidence.
"Of course, they, who can develop such a devastating weapon?" Robb nodded.
"I don't know, but the Scientific Research Bureau under the Military General Armament Department? A Better Gravity Institute of Tomorrow? Xianmulin's cutting-edge laboratory, Panorama Technology, and Hope Forever seem to have similar suspicions. Jonny disagrees with Robert's seemingly arbitrary opinion.
"No one knows Heisenberg better than I do, Jonny." Robert told him. "Their lust for power is beyond what the intellect can interpret, and as the leading economy of the All-Bank Alliance, what do you think their family goals are? Is it a maintenance and a sound investment? ”
"Isn't it?" Jonny was surprised.
"Of course not." Robert shook his head and said slowly, "More...... They want more. ”
