Spark

Just one day later, the news spread with lightning speed and spread throughout the whole world.

"Clashes in the disputed waters, or old things repeating?"

"The other party's spokesperson said: We hope that all parties will exercise restraint and resolve the issue rationally."

"Provocative again, a large number of ships sailed to the conflict waters."

A piece of appalling news stimulated the sensitive nerves of the entire public opinion market.

For a time, even domestic public opinion was surging.

However, if you want to extract a keyword from these public opinions, it is actually just one word:

Degas.

"Damn it, it's been a long time since they were not pleasing to the eye, this time it was really fun! But there is no news in China, if it wasn't reported by the foreign media, we wouldn't know about it."

"There is news in China, but it's not that exaggerated. Dozens of casualties, the real situation is that only two people were injured, and the rest were minor injuries from the fall."

"Just a fishery administration boat passing by, what can it do?"

"Fishery administration boat? Haha!"

"But having said that, are we really going to build an island there?"

"Anyway, just wait and see, this time it's a big deal."

"The bigger the better! It's time to show your attitude, otherwise, every day is protesting and protesting. What's the use of protesting?"

Li Xiang sat in front of the computer, scrolling through the comments of netizens, feeling extremely happy.

There are two main sources of this pleasure.

The first one, of course, is because like most normal people, he feels that it is a great joy to teach the other party some lessons.

The second is because he hasn't received any new tasks for the time being, so he doesn't need to do any public opinion guidance as usual, as long as he reports public opinion trends on time, the work is very easy.

However, such ease also made him a little puzzled.

Could it be that this time, are we really going to do it with great fanfare, without leaving any behind?

After all, in his impression, the strength of the navy has not yet reached the level where it can truly "cross the sea". If the plan is exposed too early in the process and attracts harassment, it should be said that it will be greatly detrimental to the implementation of the plan .

Or, does the government have any backhands that they don't know for the time being, and they are going to wait for the United States to take action before taking it out to counter it?

There is a high probability that this is the case.

But what is it?

J-20B? A new version of the J-22? missile? Electronic jammer? Or a warship submarine?

It seems that these things are not easy to deter the aircraft carrier.

Li Xiang shook his head, put away his curiosity, and continued to browse different posts on the Internet to observe the latest public opinion trends.

The content of most of the posts is very "plain". Even if there are negative voices, they mainly focus on the so-called "humanitarian concerns", thinking that the casualties caused this time are unnecessary.

Generally speaking, the direction of the discussion on the bottom line of "territory" is basically correct.

——

However, just when Li Xiang thought that today's routine work would end so smoothly, a post suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

"Judgment Criteria for Territorial Sea, Airspace, and Territory: From the Perspective of the International Law of the Sea, Rationally Judging the Boundary Line of a State's Territorial Sea"

Li Xiang frowned and clicked on the post. Just from the title, he already smelled something wrong.

And when he saw the content of the post, there was only one thought left in his mind:

Come live!

This post is different from any other post. It uses an extremely "neutral and objective" tone, explaining how to divide countries' territorial waters and how to determine the scope of the high seas under the so-called "International Law of the Sea" standard.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this post.

Even for some ordinary people, it is all about knowledgeable work.

But if you look deeper, you will find the wolfish ambition hidden in its core.

There is not a sentence or a word in the full text to indicate the ownership of Treasure Island, but even if I read the whole text, I can't help but have a question in my heart:

If all he quoted is true, then it seems that the right to face Treasure Island is easier to be recognized?

As soon as this dangerous idea jumped out, Li Xiang immediately felt chills all over his body.

I have been considered firm-willed and have formed a relatively firm standard of judgment in the long-term "self-alignment", but even in this situation, I was almost led into the ditch! ?

What if someone else saw this post?

Li Xiang quickly opened the browser and began to search for content related to the arguments of this article.

And as he read one message after another, his expression became more and more serious.

The worst has happened.

The author of this article, everything he quotes is true.

But it is not 100% fact, but the fact after careful selection and deliberate guidance.

Nine true and one false, this is the most likely way to cause misleading guidance.

It can be seen that the author of this article is definitely a professional.

And, he can't be alone.

Behind him, there should be a larger organization operating.

Li Xiang frowned. He clicked on the search engine and began to search for similar information on the Internet.

Sure enough, as he expected, in just one hour, a large number of similar articles have been posted on the Internet, and even a large scale has been formed.

If you continue to let it develop, it is very likely that the overall wind direction of public opinion will be reversed!

After all, the Internet environment in this era is still relatively rudimentary, and the information density and knowledge density are far from reaching the standards that can achieve self-balancing.

In other words, as long as there are some "seemingly reasonable" content, many people will be taken away involuntarily.

Otherwise, how could those rumors such as "German sewers" and "Japanese elementary school students" be so popular?

Thinking of this, Li Xiang didn't hesitate. He picked up the mobile phone beside the table and dialed the number of his superior.

It was Hu Likai from the intelligence department who answered the phone. After hearing his voice, Li Xiang immediately said:

"Mr. Hu, I have an important situation to respond to."

"Is it the article on the International Law of the Sea?"

Hu Likai seemed to have gotten the information earlier than Li Xiang, so he interrupted Li Xiang and asked directly.

"Yes, that article is very problematic, and I suspect it is operated by professionals behind it."

"The hedging of public opinion alone cannot solve the problem. I suggest that we take some special measures."

On the other side, in the office building of the BBC's China office.

Wilson looked at the data on the computer screen with satisfaction, his face full of complacency.

In less than 2 hours after it was released, the article he concocted had more than 100,000 hits, and the rate of increase was still accelerating.

If this momentum continues, it is very likely that before tonight, this article may enter the top ten or even the top of the search results.

At that time, my work will be successfully completed.

Thinking of the bonus he was about to receive, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

In fact, he received this task two days ago, when his editor-in-chief just told him to find a way to guide public opinion and create an image of a "victim".

There are dozens or hundreds of writers who have received the task like him, and everyone wants to earn that huge bonus with the pen and keyboard in their hands.

However, in Wilson's view, the methods they used were too low-level.

How can we achieve the so-called "guidance" by standing on the opposite side from the very beginning, criticizing and criticizing from above?

A truly useful strategy is always to attack from within!

Therefore, the first step I have to do is how to disguise myself as "one of my own".

Wilson thought of many different strategies, and after gradually screening and selecting them, he finally decided on a keyword, that is:

neutral.

Moreover, moving forward along this key word, he also extracted an agenda that currently occupies a large amount of weight in Chinese public opinion: reflection.

Combining the two, he created his profound article of "reflecting from a neutral perspective".

Obviously, my choice is right.

Not only for ordinary people, but even for those intellectuals who already have a certain level of knowledge and judgment, such an article is like a blockbuster.

No matter how clear-headed you are, no matter how rich your knowledge is, as long as there is a crack in your consciousness, it will definitely blow you apart!

Wilson brushed through those replies one by one, from subconsciously opposing and denying at the very beginning, to now, someone has started to discuss at length.

In any case, the result of such a discussion is beneficial to oneself.

It is true that some very high-level scholars bluntly point out that they have taken things out of context and covered up the facts, but their theories are too complicated and their expressions are not grounded, and there is no way to gain enough recognition.

Can netizens understand professional knowledge?

Maybe some people can understand it, but 99% of people are not willing to read it.

Originally, the Internet is for entertainment, who wants to listen to your endless science popularization there?

What we want are exciting new things, just new theories that can show my own difference!

Therefore, in this case, even if there are posts to refute rumors, they will be submerged in no time, and they will not pose any threat to themselves.

Wilson let out a long sigh of relief.

He vaguely felt that this time, his plan should have succeeded.

Flawless!

Once the general trend is formed, what's the use of no matter how fast the people in your relevant Huaxia departments respond and invest more resources?

The Internet is about priority. As long as a preconceived information cocoon is formed, it will almost become a luxury if you want to break it.

He stood up, turned off the computer screen, thought for a moment, and turned on the computer again.

The heat is not yet reached.

It is impossible for the officials to remain unresponsive to their posts, so if their attention has been attracted, what will they do next?

It is nothing more than deleting posts, banning words, and trolling.

In the most extreme cases, perhaps, they would simply come and arrest themselves.

Therefore, in response to this situation, you should prepare in advance.

A smile appeared on Wilson's face.

He felt that what he was facing was an opponent who had no fighting power.

This time, as long as things develop in the direction he planned, then he must be the one who wins.

What if he was arrested and imprisoned?

The more intense the reaction, the more guilty they appear.

My name will spread throughout the world in a very short time

Wilson's fingers tapped on the keyboard, and in just two hours, four very different articles were born.

"Rational Discussion Forced to Delete Posts? Where is the bottom line of the policy of ignoring the people? "

"Warriors Flood the Free Speech Market, Do People Still Have Their Own Information Right?" "

"Defending the mouth of the people is better than preventing Sichuan. Is silence the right solution to the problem?" "

"If you can't solve the problem, just solve the person who raised the problem? I reported that a reporter was arrested innocently, and hereby lodge a solemn protest to China! "

He read through the four articles, and even himself was infected by the unwillingness, anger, and helplessness contained in them.

Later, he called the editor-in-chief, intending to inform him of his preparations.

After the call was connected, he opened his mouth and said:

"Mr. Griffith, I have just finished writing four articles, and I will send them to your mailbox later."

"The specific situation has been explained to you on the phone before."

"If any accident happens, please follow the plan marked in the article's instructions and publish the article on the public platform."

"Yes, I'm concerned about my safety right now."

"No, no, I can't leave."

"I have to wait for them to come to me."

"Don't worry, they can't do everything right, at most they will suffer a little bit."

"Yes, please help me report to the embassy so that they can prepare for the rescue."

"Trust me, this time, we have a chance to win"

After hanging up the phone, Wilson packed his things and walked out of the BBC office building.

At this time, Shang Hai's sky was clear, which made him feel more comfortable.

Perhaps, it won't be long before the sky will be shrouded in haze, and the public opinion in this country will gradually be controlled by the stronger force he represents from now on.

At that time, I can really flex my muscles.

Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to take a picture of himself.

Maybe, it can be used later on that prepared report.

So, he stood on the street, turned the camera, and pressed the shutter.

The photo he had just taken appeared on the camera's display screen.

Depressed colors, sharp lines, revealing crazy and absurd red

And, in the middle of the photo, is his serious and wise face.

The strong contrast created an unparalleled storyline. He even felt that he was not a reporter in the photo, but a lone hero who went deep into the enemy camp.

Wilson put away his camera.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before this photo would spread quickly
