"Increase production?" Anduin was a little confused:
"Sir, although we only have eight papermaking workshops now, these eight workshops can already produce enough toilet paper, textbooks, novels, and playing cards, and there is no problem in exporting them. I don't think we need to expand production for the time being, right?
"
"No, no." Sean stretched out his index finger and shook it gently:
"We also need to quickly establish newspaper offices in the city of Jon and Port Kapur to seize this great opportunity to dominate public opinion. This is crucial to our future development."
"Public opinion dominance?" After hearing Sean's words, Anduin seemed to understand something.
"Yes, it is the dominance of public opinion." Sean emphasized: "Don't underestimate the media headed by newspapers. Newspapers are an extremely powerful war weapon hidden in the dark!
There is an old saying that goes, 'A lie repeated 100 times becomes the truth.'
People have the inertia to believe in authority. When the media, led by newspapers, explain to the people "what the world is like," people will subconsciously choose to believe it, even if what the media says may be lies.
In this way, the judgments made by the people, the decisions made by the people, and the standards of conduct are basically determined by the media."
The reason why Sean pays so much attention to public opinion is because he is so impressed by the public opinion information war in his previous life!
Eisen Howell, the former chief of the United States, once said: “One dollar spent on foreign propaganda is equal to five dollars spent on national defense.”
In 1945, 57% of Chinese people believed that Mao was the biggest contributor to winning the Second World War. By 2015, this proportion had dropped to 23%.
This is the power of the war of public opinion. It can gain huge advantages without losing any blood, and can even tamper with history.
…
Sean and the two walked to the entrance of the administrative hall in the center of the town while talking.
Anduin waved goodbye to Sean: "Goodbye, sir. During this period, I will increase paper production as soon as possible and organize the newspaper office and bank."
"Goodbye Anduin, thank you so much for your hard work!"
Sean said goodbye to Anduin, and then returned to Port Capul through the portal to continue preparing for the war with the Kingdom of Anjou.
...
...
Just when Sean returned to Port Caple, the capital of Anjou was 887 kilometers away from Port Caple.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Matthew was wearing an ordinary mercenary leather armor and sitting in a huge, magnificent palace.
This palace is the royal palace of the Anjou Kingdom and Matthew's home.
Matthew has been away from the kingdom for thirty or forty years, and has only returned home less than ten times in total.
Therefore, the attendants in the palace did not recognize the legendary prince and kept looking at the simple leather armor on his body.
To be honest, this set of simple leather armor, which is not even considered magic equipment, is indeed very inconsistent with this magnificent palace. It is like an extra piece of black bread in the exquisite steak set.
Matthew ignored the waiters, crossed his legs, took out the hardcover playing cards given to him by Sean from the space ring, and created three phantoms of himself playing cards with him in his mind.
After a while, a luxuriously dressed eunuch chief...oh no, it was the head waiter who came to Matthew and bowed to Matthew: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, you have invited me."
"Haha, my father is finally willing to see me." Matthew smiled and stood up from the bench: "I have been waiting for almost a week, and he finally made time?"
"Ah, that's not the case." The leader of the waiters hurriedly explained: "Recently, His Majesty is practicing in seclusion and said he won't see anyone, so..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain, I know my father better than you." Matthew interrupted the leader of the waiters expressionlessly: "Lead the way!"
"Okay, His Majesty the Great Prince." The leader of the waiters made a "please" gesture and led Matthew inside.
...
The Royal Palace of Anjou is the largest building complex in the Kingdom of Anjou, with a large depth and a well-proportioned layout of the buildings.
After walking for about five minutes, the chief waiter and Matthew stopped in front of a small palace.
Matthew was very familiar with this palace, it was his father's living room.
In the past, after cabinet meetings, my father always liked to stay here and quietly review documents.
Seeing that the leader of the waiters wanted to go in with him, Matthew patted the leader of the waiters on the shoulder: "Okay, just come here, I can go in alone."
"Okay, Your Highness." The leader of the waiters immediately stopped and replied with a low eyebrow.
Matthew walked into his father's living room alone with a nostalgic look on his face.
In the living room, his father, Charlie Iris, was sitting at the desk, writing something with a pen and paper.
Warm sunlight shone in from the window in front of the desk, shining on my father's body, leaving only a not-so-majestic shadow on the ground.
"Father." Matthew knelt down on one knee towards his father.
"It's Matthew!"
Seeing that his son was coming, the Anjou King relaxed his frown:
"Quick, sit down! You won't be able to come back even once in the past few years."
Charlie Iris stood up and personally moved a chair for Matthew. At this time, he no longer had the aggressive attitude at the cabinet meeting, and now he was more like an amiable old father.
"Father, let me do it." Matthew took the stool from his father's hand, and most of the resentment he had just because he had not been seen by his father for more than a week had disappeared.
Indeed, being a father is not easy either!
…
After Matthew sat down opposite him, Charlie Iris stared at him for a while, and then said slowly:
"Matthew, I'm sorry that it took me a week to see you. During this period, the war in the Sunflower Principality was urgent, and the pressure from the Plantagenet Empire was also great. I stay at the military headquarters all the year round. I was just here yesterday afternoon.
return."
"It's okay, I don't blame you. There's a lot of pressure on the Plantagenet Empire? What happened to them again?" Matthew asked worriedly.
"In the Plantagenet Empire...forget it, I won't tell you this kind of thing, so as not to upset you. By the way, I heard others say that the little girl Kate Shancha from the Shancha family is your biological child.
Daughter, is this true?" The King of Anjou began to change the subject.
"Uh... this is true. The Great Elf King personally made an appraisal for me and Kate."
Hearing his father mention this matter, even though he was already in his seventies, Matthew still felt very embarrassed.
"It's okay, bring her back to me someday!" The Anjou Kingdom laughed.
...
After a long chat, they finally got down to business.
"Matthew, you came back last time to report to me about the Elf Kingdom and your ambush. Why did you come back this time? Is it just for Sean Violet's letter?"
