Chapter three hundred and first, the skills of spreading rumors

After making a plan, it is implemented. The first step in the entire plan is to spread rumors. Rumors are actually a very technical thing. Everyone should pay attention to who will release the rumors and how to amplify the rumors.

Generally speaking, high-end, atmospheric and high-end newspapers like "Percise Scientific Truth" cannot be used to actively spread rumors. Some small newspapers are always allowed to do things like spreading rumors. For example, this time, rumors are first published in a tabloid "The French Forward" full of chauvinism.

According to the French Progress, the Turkish Sultan sent a special envoy to France. He will discuss with France on behalf of the Great Sultan about purchasing a cannon factory to produce cannons.

The French Forward Biography is famous for bragging. In that newspaper, the messy things like "**'s screams invincible" and "when seeing **, a certain country immediately kneeled down" are basically just treating it as a fun thing.

So the rumor posted in the French Progressive News did not attract any attention. Well, neither the ordinary citizens nor the Turkish ambassador to France, nor the Russian ambassador to France noticed this rumor. If such things need to be noticed, the embassy would have no need to do anything else.

But the following things began to attract the attention of some people. First, the French Ministry of Public Security suddenly dispatched to seize the French Foreigner, and arrested the newspaper reporters and editors. The reason is of course to spread rumors. However, in France, where there is freedom of speech, although there is not completely no legal responsibility for spreading rumors, under normal circumstances, basically no one will pursue legal responsibility for these matters. Now the Ministry of Public Security has trampled on "freedom of speech" in this way, which immediately attracted the attention of some media.

Soon, these media discovered that things did not seem to be that simple. Because generally speaking, even if such "rumor-mongering" cases are pursued, they are mostly civil liability. Even if they lose in court, they usually don't have to go to jail. Instead, they have to issue an apology statement in the newspaper and then spend some money. Therefore, in general, the parties involved will not be detained.

However, the editors and reporters of "France Forward" were locked up, not only were they locked up, but also happened to be caught in the editorial office of "France Forward" to visit a friend's "Traditional France", a reporter from "Traditional France", who happened to visit a friend, was arrested. And it was not released yet.

"Traditional France" is a conservative newspaper that claims to "preserve the national past" and "protect the national qualities" for France in the era of great change. Many people know that it may have a royal background. But no matter what, it is a legal media, and a reporter from a legal media will be arrested and locked up just because he sat in the editorial department of the Friends Newspaper. This is really not free speech.

So "Traditional France" first launched an issue of special issues, with two huge words on the front page: "Please release someone!" Below is a manifesto declaring the abuse of power by the Ministry of Public Security and infringing on the freedom of the press. Finally, there are two sentences like this: "Although the despise is small, there are still two poor bones!"

Then many newspapers also expressed their support for "Traditional France". For a time, various newspapers became lively.

All of a sudden, the people who were eating melons were energetic, and they ordered coffee in the cafe, and then served some desserts. They sat steadily and prepared to watch the show.

However, the development of things exceeded everyone's expectations. Suddenly, almost all newspapers stopped talking, and "Traditional France" even published articles that the media should not interfere with judicial independence.

In the cafe, new rumors began to appear, saying that just yesterday, the Ministry of Public Security urgently met with the heads of several major media outlets and told them some things, and then everyone stopped talking. As for what the Ministry of Public Security told them, I'm sorry, it was a state secret, it cannot be said or said.

So, this incident began to really attract the attention of some diplomats. Then they inquired and found that the issue of the newspaper "France Forward" was completely unavailable in the world. It seemed that someone had taken it back and destroyed it. Then they noticed that "Percise Scientific Truth" published an article: "Rumor spreading does not belong to freedom of speech."

This article in "Leonardo de Scientific Truth" strongly condemns the practice of spreading rumors and bringing public opinion indiscriminately, and says that whether it is the rumors in "League Forward" or the rumors circulating in cafes recently, related to the so-called "state secrets", they are all nonsense and irresponsible abuse of freedom of speech, and this practice will eventually damage freedom of speech.

The report of "France Progress" cannot be found, but it is not difficult to understand the general content. So the Russians were shocked, while the Turks felt that it was really a rumor to have a waste of work.

But at this time, a big name like Pravda suddenly jumped out to refute the rumors, which scared both the Russians and the Turks.

Nowadays, everyone is actually very familiar with the characteristics of Pravda. Everyone knows that Pravda never lies, but is the most lie.

At first, the Russians were relieved because Pravda said that the news was a rumor, and Pravda never lie, so it said that it was a rumor, and that must be a rumor. But before the breath was relieved, they immediately remembered the second attribute of Pravda: Pravda is the most lie.

That news is a rumor, but what is a rumor? If it is not true, it means a rumor. For example, the news says that the negotiation is an artillery factory, but in fact it is a gun factory. Isn’t that news a rumor? For example, the news is a rumor, but the result is two artillery factories, or an arsenal that produces both guns and cannons. Then isn’t that news a rumor? In short: Pravda is very cunning, so you must be careful not to be deceived by it. So the Russians became even more nervous.

On the other hand, the Turks were also nervous because they also noticed the refutation of the rumor of Pravda. They also knew that Pravda did not tell lies and was the most lie. So they immediately began to consider what Pravdada wanted to cover up?

Of course, the Turks knew that they had no cooperation with the French, no cooperation with the gun factory, no cooperation with other factories, and no special envoys were sent... But what if only the words "Turkey" in this news are rumor?

Although France and Turkey are traditional allies, the friendship between the two countries has a long history. However, recently, the French and Russians have also gotten very close. The French have accepted a large number of Russian students, and the French have also exported a lot of weapons to Russia. The French... Alas, when I watched the moon with me, I called me Xiao Tiantian; now the new one is better than the old one, he will not call me pagan, right?

In the end, neither the Turks nor the Russians could hold back. They all used some channels to inquire with the French government whether there was really a sale of factories to each other.

But the French government told them: the French government did not act like this. Of course, the French government also cherishes friendship with any country in the world that is willing to be friendly with France and is willing to maintain mutually beneficial economic and trade relations with them. The French government does not have a trade ban on Turkey or Russia. Therefore, as long as they can find suitable business partners, trade according to law and pay taxes according to law, the French government will not interfere in specific and legal trade activities.

This is already very obvious, that is, as long as you pay for it and you can find a seller, you can buy whatever you want.

So the Russians first proposed, "Well, can I buy the relevant technology of the Lorraine Steel Plant?"

And the answer he got was of course: "You can talk to Lorraine Steel."

Of course, when going to talk to Lorraine Steel at this time, it is basically a matter of trying to get a tiger.

So the Russian asked again: "What if we want to buy guns and cannons? Can we also directly look for the 'Bonaparte Arsenal'?"

This question also received a positive answer, and the "Bonaparte Arsenal" seemed very interested in the transaction. So the two sides quickly began negotiations, and the negotiators from Russia immediately moved into the hotel affiliated to the "Bonaparte Arsenal". Then, they found that a group of Turks lived next door to them...

Of course, this arrangement was not unintentional. In fact, this kind of trick was also very common in later generations. Back then, during the Iran-Iraq War, neither Iran nor Iraq could produce 152mm grenade bricks by themselves. However, this thing was a fast-moving consumer goods that consumed a huge amount, so buyers from both countries were looking for sources of goods all over the world. At that time, there were only Damao camps and Chitu countries produced such shells. Of course, the quality of Damao bricks was high, but the price was high. They were specially used by Damao's family, and everyone could not afford it, so they all went to Chitu countries to buy bricks.

Then the shameless little white rabbit arranged for the representatives of their two families to live in the same building, but they were next door. Then, both families thought Yalishan was big and were afraid that they would not buy more bricks, so they would buy them. Then the shameless little white rabbit happily counted the small money.

This time, the French's arrangements also had a similar effect. Soon, both the Russians and the Turks reached a package agreement with the "Bonaparte Military Industry" to purchase an arsenal and related technologies.
