Chapter 176: Public Opinion Orientation
"By the way, there's one more thing, you can't let all the newspapers report the panic. This will make us appear to be a little deliberate, so that some newspapers that seem to be close to the government organs to the outside world will report more good news about France, and some newspapers that seem to be at odds with the government will "expose" the government's "lies". At that time, the entire citizens of Paris will believe that the government is deceiving them! They will panic, they will be afraid, they will pray for the protection of the council......"
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked far away from the horizon in the direction of the Seine, and he sneered as if to himself: "How can the parliament find an invisible enemy, who will only use the official mouthpiece to publish some so-called debunking articles!" The people will only believe what they see "with their own eyes", they will complain and curse the council, and they will pray that a strong man will appear to protect their property! Those who experienced the February Revolution were citizens who did not want to go through that period at once. ”
Public opinion is like a double-edged sword, and if grasped correctly, you can use it to stab your enemies to death. If you don't grasp it properly, public opinion will turn you back.
Jérôme, who had lived through the Great Information Age. Bonaparte, of course, understood how terrible public opinion was, and to ruin a person only had to put his unfavorable news in a hot position on the Internet, and the news that was favorable to him would be completely hidden, and there would be some people with a strong sense of justice who would indiscriminately criticize him.
Although the medium of information dissemination has changed from the Internet to newspapers, the damage of public opinion is even more powerful than that of the poster, and in this era when information is not yet fully developed, the news that citizens know is not only word of mouth, but also newspapers.
In this day and age, there is no second way to check the authenticity of information, or they simply cannot afford to check the authenticity, which leads them to choose only the content of the news newspaper, and the fact that people are naturally fond of office conspiracy theories, public opinion against the government will only get bigger and bigger.
Pesini, former editor-in-chief of the newspaper and now editor-in-chief of Bonaparte, was in charge of Jérôme. Under Bonaparte's words and deeds, he understood Jérôme. Bonaparte's method of creating public opinion.
"Your Majesty, I understand!" Pessini nodded in response to Jérôme. Bonaparte, and then he put forward his opinion with some concern: "What if...... I mean, if ...... What should we do if the parliament calls on the citizens to take up arms to defend their country, as the French Republic did in the first place (referring to the 1789 French call for the people to take up arms against foreign intervention in order to defend against foreign invasions)? At that time, I am afraid that the power of the Legislative Assembly will be strengthened! ”
"If the Legislative Assembly really had that ability, I wish they did!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and said in a brisk tone: "Do you know, Pesini? I have been thinking about changing the existing system of substitute service in France and reverting to the original universal military service system. ”
Pessini grimaced, and although it wasn't the first time he'd heard shocking words from the president's mouth, it still scared him.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the system of universal military service will lead to a large number of hooligans and sans-culottes (in this case, workers) joining the army, which is not conducive to your control of the army!" Pesini hurried to dissuade Jérôme. Bonaparte dispelled this terrible thought.
"Pesini doesn't have to be afraid of revolution!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said quietly: "A revolution is not a plague, behind every revolution there is a group of interests...... To be precise, it is the demands of a class, and as long as we can sort out the problems behind the demands and the contrast between the number of revolutionaries and the number of people who oppose them, we can harness the revolution!
Then again, do you think those guys in the Legislative Assembly would dare to redistribute their weapons to the citizens of Paris? How could the orderists be willing to see the citizens of Paris take up arms again, and whether the citizens of Paris who got their weapons would deal with me, the president who had no "real power", or against them in the Legislative Assembly? ”
The Legislative Assembly was born out of the revolution, but in two months (June 1848 and June 1849) it buried half of its body.
At this time, the Legislative Assembly had been robbed of its body by the ghost of the royal party, and it was a fool's dream to expect the ghost of the royal party to launch a revolution.
"Pesini, we are going to swing left and right between the parliament and the people! When the people's voice is weak, we can support the people and let the Party of Order back down for us. When the people are loud enough to threaten the Legislative Assembly, we tacitly act against the people. Only in this way will we be able to continue to wrest power from the hands of the Legislative Assembly, so as to force them to take risks and trample on their own principles, do you understand? "Jérôme. Bonaparte turned to look at Pessini, still with a happy smile on his face.
"I ...... I see! Percini nodded, he finally understood the president's intentions.
"Alright, it's time for us to go back!" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned and left, and Pesini followed Jérôme. Bonaparte walked away from the banks of the Seine.
……
Early the next morning, a thick fog enveloped the whole of Paris, and drops of fog condensed from the railings and window lattices of the Elysée Palace dripped from the edges.
The temperature in Paris dropped by more than 10 degrees overnight, and the streets were bustling with citizens taking off their autumn clothes and changing into winter clothes.
Pessini, who left the Élysée Palace early in the morning, also changed into a winter dress.
In order not to attract the attention of those who care, the Elysée Palace did not take the carriage of the Elysée Palace, and stopped one casually on the street far from the Elysée Palace.
The carriage carried Pessini slowly through the fog and soon came to a mansion with only three floors.
"Sir, here we are!" The coachman, who had parked the carriage on the side of the road, knocked lightly on the Pesini Road, which was about to fall asleep in the carriage.
"Hmm...... Is it there? Pesini in the carriage opened his eyes and repeated to the coachman in a hazy manner.
"That's right! Mr! The coachman responded.
Pesini in the carriage tidied up his clothes a little, opened the door and paid the fare, and walked to the mansion.
Walking through the small garden arranged outside the mansion, Pessini soon reached the main entrance of the mansion.
The brownish-red gate is carved with imperial decorations, and the knocker is decorated with a bronze lion's head, which ultimately holds two snakes carved out of bronze, their heads connected by a small ball.
Persini held the knocker and tapped lightly on the door, which made a crisp noise.
After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside the door: "Who?" ”
The brown-red door opened, and the middle-aged man leaned over to look out.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Hawass at home?" Pesini politely responded to the guy in front of him.
"You are?" The middle-aged man looked at the guy in front of him suspiciously.
"My name is Pessini!" Pesini said to the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Persini?" The middle-aged man muttered, and he instantly remembered that the guy in front of him was not the "nobleman" that his father often mentioned to him.
"Sir, please come in!" The middle-aged man hurriedly opened the door and invited Pesini in.
"Thank you!" Persini nodded kindly at the middle-aged man.
"Mr. Pessini, my name is Augustus. Hawas, my father Charles. Hawass is now resting! I'll call him up right away! The middle-aged man hurriedly introduced himself to Pesini, knowing that if he wanted to gain the power to run the Hawass news agency in the future, the person in front of him was an indispensable target.
Don't look at his father, Charles. Havas seemed to be the uncrowned king of the entire Parisian newspaper scene, and his father could only smile compared to the Parisian politicians.
More than half of the reason why the Hawass News Agency did not take a hit in the November association bill is probably the person in front of him.
"I'm sorry for you!" Pessini rushed at Augustus. Havas nodded slightly, then sat down on the couch without saying a word.
"Wait a moment!" Augustus. Havas walked briskly to the second floor and went straight into the Shire. Hawas's door.
65-year-old Charles. Hawass heard Augustus. Hawass quickly opened his eyes after the movement, and he was rarely able to have a restful sleep like he did today. Hawas's Too suddenly breaks into the Charles. Hawass was a little angry.
"What's going on?" Shire. Hawass asked his son coldly, with a hint of anger in his words.
"Father, Mr. Pesini is here!" Augustus. Hawass vs. Charles. Hawass said.
"What?" The arrival of Pessini made Charles. Hawas's anger disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly lifted the quilt and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”
"Mr. Percini just came over, and it was a surprise attack!" Augustus. Hawass whispered his argument as he helped Charles. Havas changes into his clothes.
In Augustus. With the help of Hawass, Charles. Hawass quickly got dressed and went downstairs.
"Mr. Percini, you are welcome to my house!" Shire. Hawass bowed slightly to Percini, this guy in front of him was the great dignitary of the Havas News Agency, and he had to serve him well.
"Mr. Hawass, I'm here to deliver the president's orders!" Pesini didn't talk too much nonsense and went straight to Charles. Hawass said.
Hearing the word "president" Charles. Hawass's expression instantly became serious, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "If the president sees my old bones, my son and I are willing to do our best for the president!" ”
"Your Excellency the President has told me that you, the Havas, have followed His Majesty Napoleon! He believes in your loyalty to the House of Bonaparte! "Pessini first raised Charles. Hawas, then said.
"My son and I are willing to be loyal to the emperor's nephew as loyal to the emperor!" Shire. Hawass shows his loyalty again?
"His Excellency the President wants to ......" Pesini will Jérôme. Bonaparte repeated all what he said to him to Charles. Hearing this, Hawass and his son asked, "Do you have any difficulties?" ”
"Nope! We promise to do what His Excellency the President has given us! ”
