When she woke up early in the morning, Anji lay lazily on the comfortable bed and didn't want to move. She lived in the highest-grade suite. All the supplies and facilities in the room were decorated according to the standards before the cataclysm. Its level of luxury was no better than that of the rich and powerful in North America.
of private residence.
Since ordinary supplies can be transferred without restrictions, the lives of the middle and high-level members of the Aurora Legion have been greatly improved. The state hotel has also been given a new look. Pillows, thin quilts, etc. are finally no longer old goods, and all kinds of supplies are the best.
After going through a baptism in night school last night, Anji's mind was confused. She stayed in bed for a while and didn't want to get up, but suddenly she heard a radio broadcast from the direction of the balcony. The Aurora Corps radio station was on time at about 6:30 in the morning.
It's time to start broadcasting. It's morning news time around seven o'clock.
"Last night, the commander of the Corps visited Ninth Street for an inspection and had a cordial conversation with the students in the street night school. He asked in detail about the students' gains and difficulties in learning, and expressed his praise for the patience and meticulousness of the night school staff. He reiterated
The role of education in the development of the legion has been strengthened..."
Anji immediately sat up from the bed when she heard the news. She opened the quilt and ran to the balcony barefoot. She grabbed a jacket to cover her bulging figure under the silk pajamas, and pushed off the balcony with her bare legs.
glass windows.
There was a big electric speaker on the street outside the window, which seemed to have been installed in the morning. The news was playing on the speaker, and it seemed that it would continue all day long.
Chandra and Eugene lived next door to Angie respectively. When they heard the radio, they both ran to the balcony and looked at this with a bit of freshness and curiosity... What a scumbag promotion method.
After listening to it for a while, Eugene cursed: "It's so despicable and shameless. This is brainwashing propaganda to turn people into fools without the ability to think for themselves. This official argument is really disgusting. The media
It should be independent and have oversight powers, not government lackeys."
Eugene suffered a huge blow last night. He couldn't accept the attitude of the night school students and their enthusiasm for the regiment commander. Now when he heard the broadcast, he jumped up and scolded him.
Anji, on the other hand, was listening quietly. After passing the 'leader is very busy' section, the announcer's tone suddenly turned cold and he broadcast several pieces of punishment news.
Some gang leaders who have oppressed the people in the past have been caught, and a public trial will be held soon, and the trial process will be broadcast live; some people were investigated for embezzling relief supplies, and the Chief Prosecutor of the Army Dave said that they will be severely punished; some people tried to gather to cause trouble, but were suppressed on the spot.
.
Then there are reports of new changes in Mexico City. For example, a certain neighborhood has been cleaned up; the water and power supply facilities in a certain place have been repaired; some people have received shelter, resettlement and relief; armed thugs in a certain place have been eliminated, and social order has been greatly reduced.
improve.
Eugene was still scolding, and the words coming out of his mouth were dictatorship, cruelty, brainwashing, and stupid people. Anji turned to look at his teacher, Chandra. The old economist pondered for a while and then said: "Although I feel that this method is quite backward.
, but I think it’s very effective.”
Eugene immediately retorted, "It's just a noisy broken loudspeaker. It can only disgust people. What effect can it have. Our brotherhood has already begun to broadcast on cable TV. Our news reports and program content are much richer than this kind of broken broadcast."
.”
"Rich?" Chandra smiled and shook his head, "How much coverage can our cable TV network cover? At most, it can be deployed in the city, and it only serves the middle and high-level people. And the Aurora Legion's broadcast system faces a huge number of people.
It can easily cover both urban and rural areas at the bottom of society."
A broken speaker is not worth much money. This is also a war preparation material obtained by Zhou Qingfeng. At the beginning, he didn’t know what the use of these old-fashioned speakers was. He just thought that the matching wires and high-power broadcasting equipment were
Can't waste it now...
Let's just go to every village with radio... Anyway, we can't expect widespread television for the time being. Zhou Qingfeng doesn't have that much money to bother with the TV network, and no one produces enough programs. And radio is too simple, just find someone to tell stories.
It takes a day.
The team to install electric speakers began to spread out. Every street in the city must have one. You can hear the broadcasts of the Aurora Legion wherever you go. When it comes to brainwashing..., let's do it every day.
After the "It's Bad Abroad" session, the song started to play, and it was actually a Chinese song, or the revolutionary song "Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman" - the song film included in the war preparation materials was this song, and nothing else.
"A bunch of poor people, really a bunch of poor people." Eugene didn't understand Chinese, but when he heard the singing, his face turned red with anger, and he felt as if the devil's voice was in his ears. He didn't want to hear it, and there was nothing he could do about it, because the electric horn was loud. In the end
Forcing him to retreat into the room, he closed the balcony glass door tightly.
Anji hummed along with the tune for a while, and then said to Chandra on the balcony on the other side: "Teacher, I think we need to learn this propaganda model."
"Oh?" Chandra didn't know what he was thinking, and was stunned when he heard this, "Do you think it's feasible?"
Anji continued seriously: "Our propaganda media are too incompetent. They are indeed independent and can report whatever they want. But do you know what news is broadcast every day on the TV station funded by my father?
There is a riot somewhere, a certain government department is suspected of corruption, what clothes a certain celebrity wore today, and who she dated. Yes, that celebrity is often me.
I remember that this was not what Brotherhood TV reported at the beginning, but those reporters and editors quickly degenerated. They became extremely philistine, vulgar, and liked to sensationalize to gain attention.
Negative, market-oriented, frivolous, those media are a complete waste of the funds my father gave them. But what are the reports of the Aurora Legion?
Leaders care about the lives of the grassroots, the government's new achievements in restoring society, and the new improvements in people's lives. The tone of the news is very healthy and positive.
You can say that this kind of news is brainwashing and self-deception. But it is very valuable. It gives people hope for the future and a sense of identification with the government and leaders. But instead of helping, our media accuses us every day.
.When I return, I will immediately demand stronger press censorship.”
The so-called 'tiger father but no dog girl', Anji has a fearless aura of daring to think, speak out, break the rules, and be brave in innovation. She even pointed to the electric horn on the street and said: "We should learn this kind of propaganda method. The media can't just focus on it."
The middle and high-level people should also pay attention to the bottom level."
These words sounded very insightful. Chandra nodded, but then quickly shook his head.
"You don't agree with my point of view?" Angie frowned.
After pondering for a while, Chandra said: "I also feel that our media is too free, and the news reported is worthless. It is necessary to strengthen news control, but we must let those media people at the top report on the lives of the bottom.
, this seems unlikely. And..."
The old economist paused for three seconds and said: "You want our propaganda department to hang up loudspeakers everywhere to broadcast? I'm afraid this is a bit difficult and not very feasible."
"Why?" Anji was puzzled. "The broadcasting system doesn't cost much. The Aurora Legion can do it, let alone us."
For Her Royal Highness the Princess, who only had ideas but no practical experience, Chandra could only smile bitterly. He shrugged and said, "Believe it or not, if we hang the speakers on the street, they will be destroyed within a few hours. And the destruction will happen."
It’s those at the bottom of society you want to educate and educate.”
Ah..., that's really the case.
An image immediately appeared in Angie's mind - the loudspeaker had just been installed and the broadcast was started, but there were a few idle black people, Latinos or other bullshit gathered underneath. These boring people took a few glances and started to
Hitting the trumpet with rocks for fun.
"Damn it, those rubbish should be damned. Why can't they be as honest as the residents under Victor's rule." Anji suddenly felt that her thoughts were good, but the reality was completely different.
Chandra shrugged again and smiled bitterly, "The Aurora Legion can accomplish the same thing, but we may not be able to do it."
