Chapter 902 The power of publicity (second update, please subscribe)
This is the original AK47!
Looking at the familiar weapons in the photo, Li Yian felt somewhat emotional in his heart.
This is definitely the most widely circulated weapon in history. There are countless myths about it in another world. It has a simple structure, easy operation, and is sturdy and durable. In short, according to many people, it is a A perfect weapon.
It is the most produced firearm in the world. It exists basically wherever there are humans, especially in the third world. AK and RPG are basically standard equipment for the army or rebels.
There are so many myths about it that people don’t bother to question it.
However, at this moment, looking at the AK47 seized from Bangkok, what did Li Yian think of?
It’s expansion!
Here is the aid!
In the next few decades, the Eastern Bloc, represented by the Soviet Union, will export millions of AK47s almost free of charge to all parts of the world, from the rain forests of Vietnam to the deserts of the Middle East, from From the deserts of the Middle East to the grasslands of Africa, from the African grasslands to the jungles of South America!
In short, under the trend of internationalism and the working class that does not distinguish national boundaries, AK47 spread to the world and became a symbol of independence.
The United States hated Vietnam at the gunpoint of AK, and the old powers of Britain and France sadly left Africa at the gunpoint of AK.
This is AK!
The reason why it is spread all over the world is not because it is so popular, but because it really does not cost money for a long time, at least a considerable part of it does not cost money.
“This is not a gun, it is clearly the end of colonialism!”
Feeling its greatness and mythology, Li Yian felt fear in his heart.
It has never been true that the butt determines the head. As a big capitalist and conservative, of course he fears it and is afraid of it.
Even subconsciously reject it!
This is human nature!
Putting the photo aside, he looked at the military's summary report on the Siam operation. Li Yian was not very interested in air combat, land combat, air raids, etc. The report on the research on the MiG-15 was only briefly glanced at.
The MiG-15 is already outdated. Now the Soviets should use the MiG-17. Soon they will launch the supersonic MiG-19, and then the famous MiG-21. When the time comes, Nanyang will definitely launch corresponding fighters to deal with the threat. After all, the Aviation Industry Corporation has already begun research on new fighter jets.
But what is the real threat?
Once again, when he took out the photo of the AK47, Li Yian's brows wrinkled.
Expansion, penetration, internal subversion... this is the truest and cruelest aspect of the future Cold War. Why during the Cold War, the European and American Western world was improving people's welfare, and the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries were also improving people's welfare. , even without hesitation to borrow money from the West, it also imports various commodities such as grain, meat, coffee, cane sugar, etc. to meet the needs of the people.
To put it bluntly, it is all for the purpose of bribery - whether it is Western European and American countries or the Soviet and Eastern Group, they are all buying people's hearts and minds, but the degree of bribery is different, and the reason for doing this is not because How high their consciousness is, but they are worried about internal subversion!
Output is mutual and never one-way. Therefore, they will improve people's livelihood and buy people off.
“Inside!”
Li Yian said.
“The key is to prevent this from happening from within. In addition to improving and improving people’s livelihood, there should also be...a sense of pride!”
Pride!
"As long as there is national pride, no one can disrupt the development of Nanyang from within!"
"Then what method should be used to increase the pride of Nanyang people?"
Lighting a big cigar, Li Yian thought silently.
Actually, the answer is ready-and Nanyang has been doing it. It is through propaganda that as a country deeply influenced by San De Zi, as early as the early founding of Nanyang, it used various means to control media organizations from an ideological point of view, so that they can selectively publish appropriate information to the public. news to influence the public. This point is that following the experience of Sandoku, during World War II, the German propaganda department's control of the above three reached its peak.
“The prosperity or rejuvenation of any nation is supported by the spiritual power of the nation and the cohesion it brings is unimaginable.”
In the study, Li Yian looked at Sun Jingye sitting in front of him and said,
“So, in addition to guiding public opinion, we should also make some movies, some that can awaken national pride! ”
“A movie that awakens national pride?”
As the director of the Public Opinion and Press Committee of the official residence, Sun Jingye is naturally an expert in publicity. After all, there are many German colleagues in the office. They were quite experienced in this area and said.
"Do you mean to make some promotional films? We have made some achievements in this regard. In the past eight years, we have let the outside world know about Nanyang, Nanyang's construction, and Nanyang's life through movies. Moreover, our films are very popular in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and have even entered the European and American markets, and the response has been very good!” This is not just Wang Po’s fault. After years of development, Nanyang’s film industry has become not only very active, but also very popular. Moreover, it has repeatedly produced excellent works, and many films have entered the European and American markets and have achieved considerable market success.
"The achievements of the film industry are obvious to all. I understand this, but..."
Li Yian said after taking a puff of his cigar.
“In the past, our publicity focused on establishing the image of Nanyang around the world, in order to attract people from all over the world to come to Nanyang. Overall, our movies present a modern and open Nanyang, which is undoubtedly very good. However, we must also consider another point, which is how to enhance the cohesion of Nanyang people, which requires cultivating the national pride of being Nanyang people!"
When talking about pride, Li Yi'an said.
"In the past, we increased pride through construction, life and other things that are closely related to people's lives. When people mention Nanyang, they refer to the beautiful life of Nanyang people. This is their pride, but this is only one aspect!"< br>
Li Yian stopped and took a puff of his cigar, then continued.
“But we still have a lot of other material available, such as holding on to Bastogne, sinking the Yamato, bombing Tokyo, including the Siam Crisis, all of which can be filmed, of course , and our satellites and rockets! They are all very good materials."
"War movie!"
Sun Jingye said urgently.
"The cost of war movies is very high!"
"The cost of war movies is indeed high, but it increases pride faster!"
When mentioning this, Li Yian naturally thought of In another world, Russia provides funding to film companies, prompting them to shoot movies with the main theme of promoting patriotism every year. Those movies are either related to the Patriotic War or space exploration, although there are only one or two movies each year. But it does promote patriotism to a certain extent.
Nanyang, you can also brew it in the same way!
Thinking of this, Li Yian said.
"We can set up a foundation to provide funding to film companies, and at the same time let the military provide corresponding help."
In fact, in another world, the way the U.S. military and the film industry cooperate is very It’s worth emulating, talking about the way the military cooperates with the film industry. Li Yian emphasized again.
“Of course, our funding is just funding, don’t interfere too much with them. After all, movies have to make money. If they can’t profit from these movies, even with our funding, in the end It's just some bad movies. Without an audience, what's the point of publicity? Let's organize government officials and students to watch movies, and the government will foot the bill. In this case, a vicious circle will be formed - the more... The worse it is, the worse it is, the less people will watch it, and in the end, it will just become a mere formality..."
Although Li Yi'an has not activated the movie skill, he has watched many movies, so he naturally knows what kind of patriotism Socialist education is the most effective.
“Yes, what we need is a subtle instillation of patriotism, rather than blind preaching...”
For Li Yi'an, who has watched many patriotic movies and Hollywood blockbusters, he knows how to instill patriotism and enhance national pride. This kind of indoctrination is definitely not preaching or instruction,
Li Yi'an Sun Jingye and I have been chatting about movies like this, and at the end of the conversation, he specifically said.
“We can let the cultural communication company communicate more with the film company in Kuching. If necessary, we can let the screenwriters create some stories together. Isn’t Kuching the “Hollywood of Asia”? It’s definitely more professional to do these things.”
When it comes to Asia’s “Hollywood of Asia”, Li Yi’an can’t help but think of the famous movie stars in Nanyang in recent years. There are so many handsome guys and beauties, especially those in Asia. It's the latter, just like Hollywood, where beauties from all over Europe and Asia gather.
Thinking of this, Li Yian even felt a little regretful. He regretted why the film center was not set up in Chang'an but in Kuching...
