Chapter 107 Four-Stage Rule(1/2)

"Humphrey, it's not my dilemma now, but how to solve it!"

Mikayla said to Humphrey: "That's why I consult your old bureaucrat, what should you do when you encounter such diplomatic dilemma? Why did the people resist our union of Forsaken and the Orc tribe so much."

"Oh, this, hahahaha!"

Humphrey laughed a few times and said, "Sir, you should know that when civilians discuss diplomatic relations, they usually don't know all the facts, but only use the information in front of them as the criterion for judgment."

Bernard, who was standing by, interrupted: "For example, the people don't know that the resources at our government can only last for 6 months now."

Mikaela also said: "The Regent deliberately concealed the above news so as not to cause panic among the people."

"yes."

Humphrey interjected: "In addition to the victory you have won for our race many times, the people today are full of hope and think everything will be fine."

"However, that's the problem!"

Humphrey's tone suddenly became quiet from the previous relaxation:

"In fact, few people can understand that the victory you won was just giving us valuable breathing time and did not fundamentally change our current dilemma."

Bernard then added: "Because the disaster war has caused too much damage to us."

"really."

Mikaela is very aware of the damage caused by the natural disaster war. For the Blood Elves, it may not be possible to recover in many years to come, but today's people only care about who is good and who is bad.

"But the government's diplomatic policy cannot only care about who is better and who is worse."

Humphrey continued: "Sometimes, our family will trade with the bad guys they think for the sake of national interests, or occasionally abandon the good guys who are not cooperative."

When Tolina heard this, she interrupted in the spiritual world: "Mikara, I feel that Humphrey is connoting you."

Haha, of course Mikaela knew that when she was trading with the trolls in Torvasa, wasn’t the trolls the “bad guys who people thought”?

Humphrey noticed Mikaela's expression and comforted her: "Sir, I know you are thinking about a deal with the trolls, but that's what we should do. Our government departments should consider the national interests and do the right thing, not just care about who is good and who is bad."

"Well, Humphrey, you're right."

Mikaela continued to speak: "What about this time? Because the arrival of the Forsaken One has aroused the public's resistance mentality. How did you do it before?"

Humphrey replied seriously: "Often we follow the four-stage rule!"

Mikayla: "Fourth stages?"

Humphrey:

"Phase One: We declared that nothing happened."

"Phase 2: We say something might happen, but we shouldn't act."

"Phase 3: We say we might be acting, but we can't do anything."

"Phase 4: We said maybe we should have done something at the beginning, but now it's too late."

As soon as these words were said, both the minister Mikaela and Tolina in the spiritual world had their chin dropped to the ground and could not be picked up for a long time!

It was Bernard who kind-heartedly helped Mikaela pick up her chin: "Sir, this is yours."

"Thank you, Bernard."

Mikaela then realized, put on her chin, and looked at Humphrey.

Tolina, who also put her chin back, complained on the spot: "What four-stage law is obviously the ultimate bad law!"

That's right, Humphrey's four-stage rule, to put it bluntly, does nothing.

And Mikaela also realized something and immediately asked:

"Wait, Humphrey, when the Kingdom of Lordaeron was in trouble with a natural disaster, were you also doing these four stages?"

"yes."

Humphrey looked surprised and asked, "Sir, how do you know?"

"I just know!"

Mikara covered her face with her right hand: "It is because of you doing this that the undead army will come to the door in the end!"

Humphrey shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, minister, I admit that the four-stage law is not omnipotent."

"Of course it's not omnipotent!"

Mikaela retorted: "The people all saw me bringing the Forsaken into Silver Moon City. At this time, I still wanted to declare that nothing happened, and then lay down and put it on my back. It was impossible! What I want to know is how to calm the anger of the people!"

Tolina also jumped out and said, "Last night, if Aerranla had not found the security forces in the city to disperse the people blocking his doorstep, he would probably be trapped in the villa and would not have come out!"

"Sir, are you going to calm the anger of the people immediately?" Humphrey asked.

Mikaela said on the spot: "That's right, right now, now, right now!"

Humphrey opened his mouth and said, "No problem, minister, we can contact the pastors' union downstairs immediately and ask them to send pastors to carry out large-scale mental control of the people and then brainwash them."

"Wash, brainwash!"

Mikayla looked at Humphrey with a calm expression and could not believe her ears.

Even Tolina said: "Humphrey spoke up and brainwashed him. Has he done it before?"

If Humphrey had done brainwashing the people before, what was the old Silver Moon City government like...

Provoke (过过过          )!

Mikayla could not imagine it anymore. At this moment, he even felt that Arthas's killing all the old government was not so unacceptable.

For a moment, the scene was in a deadlock.

"Sir, your drink."

Until Bernard, who was standing by, brought a glass of juice and said, "Actually, I don't think this problem is difficult to solve."

"Um?"

Mikaela turned her head and looked at the private secretary who had always been quiet. Interestingly, even Humphrey spoke:

"Oh, Bernard, do you have any ideas?"

I heard Bernard say, "Sir Humphrey, haven't you said it before? Because the people don't know some key information, they make wrong judgments. So we just need to tell them the key information."

When Mikaela heard it made sense, she immediately encouraged Bernard: "Continue."

Bernard also plucked up his courage and continued: "The people hate the undead because the undead under the Lich King slaughtered our compatriots, but what if the people know that the Forgotten One is not the Lich King's subordinate, but the subordinate of Lord Wind Walker?"

interesting!

After Bernard said this, Mikaela immediately reacted.

The Wind Walker family has a high reputation among the blood elves. Moreover, Sylvanas died in the battlefield, but many blood elves witnessed it with their own eyes. So in their hearts, Sylvanas is a warrior who defends Silver Moon City, and he is definitely his own person!

The Blood Elf clan is famously arrogant and xenophobic and hates other races, but if the public understands that the leader of the Forsaken is Sylvanas, who is his own person, then the emotions of rejection and disgust will definitely be greatly reduced!

"It makes sense!"

Mikaela slapped the table and immediately asked Humphrey: "Can you arrange for Sylvanas to visit Silvermoon City immediately?"

Humphrey also figured out the joints, but as a bureaucrat who is familiar with the rules of the officialdom, he said:

"I'm afraid the minister is not yet available."

"Now we have just established contact with the Forgotten, and have opened up the transmission coordinates to each other, but the economic, military, political and diplomatic relations have not yet been developed. From a legal perspective, we and the Forgotten cannot even be considered formally established diplomatic relations."

Mikaela was anxious: "What should I do?"

Humphrey said: "Secretary, you don't have to hurry. I have heard that the Regent is contacting Lord Sylvanas through senior executive Marlen, preparing to start the summit and formally establish bilateral relations. I think it will take only a few days to do so. When the two sides formally establish diplomatic relations, it will be natural to invite Sylvanas to Silvermoon City."

Bernard also added: "Of course, the minister, according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, if you want to invite Lord Sylvanas, the Regent must do it, and you can only make suggestions."

"I see."

Of course, Mikaela knew that her identity as a minister was not qualified to invite heads of other forces, but:

"So can't we do nothing in these days?"

"Actually, it's OK," Bernard said.

Mikayla: "How to do it?"

"Sir, haven't you threatened Frank, the Sunshine manager?"

Mikaela glared at Bernard with a cold face and shouted, "I'm not threatening!"

"Yeah, sorry."

Bernard immediately changed his words: "Secretary, you have persuaded Frank, the manager of the Sunshine, that you can arrange another reporter interview, and you will personally say that the Forgotten One is not the servant of the Lich King, but the subordinate of Lord Sylvanas. I believe that the people's attitude will definitely change."

Mikayla also admitted that what Bernard said makes sense, and if Sylvanas really comes to visit Silver Moon City in the future, this interview can also be used as a warm-up in public opinion.

"Very good, Bernard."

Mikaela was not stingy with her words: "I really didn't see that you were so capable!"

Bernard said modestly: "It's all good for Sir Humphrey to educate him."

Humphrey didn't say anything, but just looked at Bernard quietly until Mikaela spoke: "Humphrey, contact Frank immediately to arrange an interview, and the time will be placed..."
