There are many things that, when they were invented, did not have an obvious good or evil nature, and even because they solved certain problems at the time, they were more inclined to be good.

For example, newspapers.

Newspapers of other worlds, because they are limited by various objective conditions, are very backward and simple in terms of content, style, circulation, and so on. When it was first born, its purpose was simple: to convey something important to the masses of the people, or something like a rule.

But later, when the higher-ups discovered that this inconspicuous thing still had ancillary roles such as educating the people, guiding public opinion, and covering up the truth, it became out of control. People always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and the higher the status, the more so, because at that level, the interests of all parties involved will become very huge. Now it's just a small page in a newspaper, just a few hundred words. With such a small cost, it can play an unexpected role smoothly, so why not?

......

In recent times, various places in Bran, especially in the northern cities, have been praising the purification of the blasphemers as if they had agreed.

The victory of good over evil, this kind of bridge is the mainstream no matter what time and space it is. Because everyone thinks that they are the righteous party, with a sense of substitution, it looks natural and refreshing.

But just when the whole empire was happy and harmonious, the "rat" that spoiled a pot of soup finally appeared. And as soon as it appeared, it quickly swept through the north of Bran with the momentum of wildfire.

"The 50,000 regular soldiers of the Northern Armaments Department organized a second attack on the Gray Clothes Army, but they died again in the middle of the process, and the whole army was wiped out. ”

The news was still released in the form of propaganda posters peculiar to the Gray Army. The picture shows a regular soldier wearing Bran armor. Under the attack of civilians in cloth clothes in the back. or raise their hands in surrender in a panic, or throw away their armor in a panic and flee in fear......

Immediately after that, all kinds of gossip spread and spread in various stalls, taverns, etc.

"Did you hear about ......it?"

"What, purify the blasphemer?"

"Oh, that's outdated. The speaker looked around and lowered his voice, "Bran's 50,000 regular soldiers have once again been defeated at the hands of the Gray Army!"

"Scared. Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, I also heard that the leader of the troops this time is actually a nobleman who does not know how to learn and only knows how to talk on paper. Alas, fifty thousand soldiers, all of them were buried in his hands......"

"Grass, bastard!"

"Bastard? I heard that when the nobleman fled under the escort of his own soldiers, he was terrified all the way, and when he saw the shrubs and trees on the mountain beside the road, he thought it was a gray-clothed soldier, and he was so frightened that he was scared...... For this reason, the bards also made up a special word. It's called grass and trees. ”

"......"

......

A tavern,

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard. Bran's 50,000 regular soldiers were defeated again. ”

"Oh, so do you know some of the details inside?"

"Uh? Defeat is defeat, what's the inside story...... Well, you mean that aristocratic bastard? Didn't the newspapers refute the rumors? ”

"Newspaper, hmph, you believe what it says, but that's not what it says this time...... I've heard that the regular soldiers shouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat in this battle, but the soldiers couldn't bear to attack the civilians with farm tools, and eventually turned against them!"

"Ah...... No wonder the two attacks were unsuccessful, this simply can't be fought. ”

"Yes, I think this gray-clothed army is really amazing, this regular soldier who is close to 100,000 before and after is almost 100,000, and they attack in turn, but they can't take them. ”

"I'm afraid it's going to change!"

......

The personnel of the propaganda departments of various cities already have the responsibility of collecting style. Now that rumors are spreading everywhere, they are naturally the first to notice it. On the one hand, it urgently refuted the rumors, and on the other hand, it transmitted all kinds of news to the Northern Armaments Department.

In the conference hall of the Northern Armaments Department, the bigwigs of various departments looked at the mountains of reports on the table, such as "defection on the verge of battle", "talking on paper", "grass and trees are soldiers", and so on...... They were all stunned and speechless.

To be honest, they are also wronged. That's right, this time the 50,000 regular soldiers were defeated. But it was defeated in a head-on confrontation, and as the so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, how could there be such a big fuss now? And what was the matter with this noble leading the army? If it was the first battle, they would have admitted it, and at that time they did underestimate the gray-clothed army, and there were some gold-plated nobles in the army. But then I learned a lesson and recognized the form a little, how could I still do such a thing of committing a crime against the wind?

"Shameless, slander!"

"What do these untouchables want to do?"

"I think it's just looking for death, I really can't wait to transfer tens of thousands of people from the front-line army to destroy them!"

"These propaganda halls are also rubbish, and they can't suppress these rumors. ”

......

Halfway through, the conference hall was lively. The giants were all slapping the table, and the fat heads and big ears were full of redness, and they scolded angrily.

Gradually, the propaganda halls of various cities are also lying guns. Now these bigwigs have selectively forgotten that when the army was first defeated, it was they who learned that the Gray Army had not publicized it for several days, so they ordered to block the news.

Of course, scolding is scolding, and things have to be resolved.

First of all, the brain-dead idea of transferring people back from various regiments at the front is unrealistic. Don't say whether the army marshal will bird them, just say that the front line is tight now, and the offensive of the barbarian tribes is like a tide of waves, and if they really transfer people back, the result will be a bad one, resulting in the collapse of the whole front, and they can't afford to bear this responsibility.

Immediately, the giants discussed, tacitly decided to press down the responsibility, spoke through the military system, and ordered the cultural and propaganda halls of the northern cities to suppress this rumor, but these rumors like the nobles leading the army, like the news of the army's defeat cannot be suppressed, after all, the scale of 50,000 people is not small, and from gathering to entering the 100,000 mountains, it always has to pass through several cities. In fact, there were doubts about this before, but it was only on a small scale, and they covered it up with the blasphemer.

Then he ordered the security offices of each city to dig out the gray-clothed people in the city, and then try them in a high-profile manner. At this time, a giant came up with the idea of putting the famous Boris in charge of the matter, and finally passed it unconditionally.

Zuihou, naturally, is focused on preparing for the next encirclement and suppression. The first two defeats made them no longer dare to underestimate the gray army. However, in the preparation stage, there are only so many ideas that can be come up, which is nothing more than to produce a general who can fight well, more soldiers, and then carry more sophisticated equipment, siege equipment, and so on.

......

The special circumstances of the other world have determined that the superstructure of the Bran Empire is Wu Dawen. Moreover, it is still a time of war, and the power of the Northern Armaments Service is very great. Now that it has shifted its responsibilities and pressed it down, the administrative organs of cities around the country have suddenly been pressed.

Especially in the Propaganda Department, when they reported this news, they hoped that the Northern Armaments Department would come up with an idea, and it would be better if you came up with a general outline. But now it's good, and I'll send them away with a sentence of solving it myself. And once this meaning is not resolved, you will still be questioned...... Isn't this a cheat, you said you were going to block it before, but now it's getting bigger, and you blame them for not wiping their butts effectively......

However, the prefects at all levels of the Propaganda Hall are also unable to crush people to death. I had to pinch my nose and scold the pigs in the Northern Armament Department. Immediately summoned all the personnel in the hall and ordered them to come up with a way.

What ideas can these low-level little bosses come up with, it's not that they're all helpers. It's really because of the loss of the right to speak, and now the situation outside is a foregone conclusion. No matter what they say, they will not be believed, they will only be laughed at......

On the other hand, compared to the gray-haired personnel of the Propaganda Department, the life of the Garrison Department is not easy. What are you kidding, this is not a picture of people, trying to find those dozens of people who don't know what they look like among the hundreds of thousands of urban population, this difficulty is enough to make people desperate just thinking about it. And isn't this thing being done all the time? If it works, it won't let it explode.

However, if you want to say that there are many people, Liliang is big, but after a while, some cities have come up with tricks to deal with it. It was to take the prisoners who committed the crime to make up, and under the torture into a trick, soon many "gray clothes and disorderly people" took the initiative to confess their crimes. Although this can't stop the gray army from continuing to promote, it finally has an explanation for the above. Look, we've been working hard to catch the "gray people" every day......

As for Boris's side, those officials of the Northern Armaments Service who came with appointments have hit a "nail" that is neither soft nor hard......

How smart are Bowes and Bernie, they just arrived in Mountain Creek City and didn't warm up the chairs in the security hall before they knew what the Gray Coats had done. Immediately without saying a word, he led the cavalry out to sweep the black shili in the city that night, and then in the battle, one was careless, heroically wounded, and was admitted to the treatment hall.

After the official arrived at Mountain Creek City and found the treatment hall, Bowis and Bernie, who were mummified in the form of a hospital, struggled to get up on the hospital bed, snorting and tearing to blame themselves for being too careless, so that they could not continue to serve the empire now, which was really regrettable, etc.

The official was dizzy from the two loud crying voices, and his heart was in a panic, and he only knew that he kept nodding his head and comforting him, until he went out of the city gate and found that the appointment was still in his hand. I couldn't, so I had to go back and get back to my life.

......

For a time, the north fell into chaos because of the news that suddenly broke out. Now that the front lines are still at war, the Empire naturally cannot sit idly by and watch this chaos continue to expand. So all kinds of undercurrents slowly rolled under this wave...... Either exert force to cut off the source and make the waves completely calm. or become a boost, pushing the waves to a climax.

No one knows what will turn out of the situation, so we can only wait and see...... (To be continued......)
