C315 Human Weaknesses

Xiao Letian's mood was surprisingly good, because today was the entire day's worth of good news. The public opinion battle that he had personally directed had finally been completely victorious.

The wave of protests sweeping through Europe has forced the two countries into a dead end. This morning, the Government of France issued a stern statement condemning the atrocities and declaring that a series of attacks was a despicable conspiracy to capture thieves.

The public opinion battle that had persisted for more than half a month finally made the French come to their senses. The intelligence officials who were represented by Xie Lifu were actually able to successfully analyze the situation without Pierre's help, but what was the use of that?

The war of opinion was also a war. It was about time and people, and now that France had lost its best chance to fight back, it had lost its time. No one would believe what they said now.

Most of the time, what the public needs is not the truth at all. Is it really to denounce the atrocities that they need to be merely an outlet for their emotions, a worker shouting in the street? Was the young student who threw his rotten egg at the French Embassy really Xiao Letian's supporter?

Everything had to be discussed. On the surface, it seemed like the public had gathered together due to the public opinion battle. However, everyone had their own little plans and plans. The shouting worker may just be venting the blackhearted boss's abuse, and the egg-throwing student may just be venting the pain of a lovelorn.

The human heart was very fragile, and it could not hold much grievance. Once it was filled, it would have to vent. This was the normal emotional need of a human being.

This time, during this public opinion battle, the entire population of Europe was given a legal opportunity to behave atrociously. Normally, if they wanted to vent their anger, they would at most get drunk or hit their wives and children. Today's protest was as exciting as the celebration in the eyes of countless citizens.

The citizens who were in a frenzy did not have the time to care about the statements made by the French. Even if they were to put the truth in front of the citizens, they would not believe it.

"What a ridiculous French Emperor! Stupid bureaucrat! If you had chosen to make a public statement and use your own media to argue with me half a month ago, you might have had a chance... But now? It has already been more than half a month and the citizens have already followed my script. Their sense of substitution has already arrived and you still want them to turn around? "

Xiao Letian disdainfully threw the declaration for the Magic Cube onto the table, and happily downed a large glass of beer. He then burped in satisfaction.

"Ugh …" How satisfying! You might be able to change his direction in a small stream, but now that the torrent has been formed, do you want to force it? Your brain must have been kicked by a donkey … "

Hu Niu, who was sitting beside Xiao Letian, frowned, "You can lie to the people for a while, but you can't lie to the people for a lifetime. The flood will also stop for a while, and at that time, if the people find out that they have been lied to, what do you plan to do? Aren't you afraid of the citizens' retaliation? "

Just as Hu Niu was about to ask, the restaurant's door was lightly knocked twice. After receiving Xiao Letian's reply, Yepingtai hurriedly walked in with a large report.

"Master Father, this is the intelligence report that Mr. Paul just sent. I heard that the Government of France has already begun sending special envoys to meet with the European media organizations that were ambushed one by one. Is it bad for us, over time? "

Yepingtai had already spoken Chinese proficiently. Although there was a slight problem with his tone and grammar, everyone could understand it.

"Un, this question of yours is not bad. The meaning behind your mother's question just now is the same as yours. You guys are just afraid of exposing your identity!" "Alright, since I am in a good mood today, let's say a few more words …"

Xiao Letian lightly tapped on the table with his finger, gesturing for Yepingtai to sit and eat with him, causing his dry son to be overwhelmed by the favor. After Hu Niu smiled and poured him a glass of beer, this foster son was so excited that he almost knelt down.

"Sit down, don't be so soft. Since you have acknowledged me as your father, then we will be family. Drink!" Xiao Letian's smile almost melted Yepingtai's heart, he raised his head and gulped down the full glass of beer. However, he was used to drinking Japanese sake, so he obviously could not get used to this kind of German horse urine.

"Well, now let me answer your questions. The entire plot will be exposed sooner or later. If one is lucky, it might take decades or even hundreds of years. If one is unlucky, it might even be revealed within a few months. "

"The French finally understood what was going on. Although their statements were insignificant, the meeting with the various newspapers in Europe was a wondrous game, people are always afraid of meeting each other. In such a big France, there are a lot of eloquent people, and I can foresee that after this meeting, there would definitely be a large number of newspapers that would choose to believe in the French …"

"Then what should we do?" Yepingtai was so excited that he almost jumped up from his chair.

"Calm down, calm down …" Such a small problem isn't too hard for us! " The corner of Xiao Letian's mouth curved into a classic evil smile again.

"Humans are very special creatures. When they have a society, face will naturally appear. Let me ask you, what happens when people realize that they've been cheated? "

"Maybe your answer is to grab that liar and beat him up and announce that I was cheated, and I want to apologize. If your answer is really that, I can only say that you are too shallow. "

"If this is a one-on-one scam, or a scam with very few participants, what you imagine will happen. But once the scam has been upgraded to a country as a unit, how will the people choose to give up when they find out that they've been cheated? "

As Xiao Letian looked at Yepingtai and Hu Niu's confused gazes, he knew that the two of them had fainted. He could only try his best to explain the problem to them.

"Well, I'll be frank. When the deceived citizens find out that the scammers are abnormally strong and that the citizens do not have the ability to punish the scammers, their mindsets will change and they will consider whether their actions are meaningful or not. "

"In addition, when the number of people affected by this scam is so great that it covers almost the entire society, when people discover that their neighbors and relatives and friends have all fallen into this scam, a sense of confusion can be felt."

"People are subconsciously reminding themselves, forget it, don't expose this scam. Since there's no way to punish a swindler and lose all face later on, why should I be asking for trouble? Furthermore, everyone around him has been deceived. Since the entire society thinks that this scam is the truth, then no one cares about what the truth is … "

"In addition, humans have a broken mindset. The process of admitting mistakes and self-denial is extremely painful. Many people choose to be ostriches, or to walk further and further away from the wrong path without turning back. This is also a great weakness of human nature …"

As he spoke till here, Xiao Letian could not help but think of some of the news he had seen in his previous life. Many commoners who had been tricked into selling organizations, even though he was clearly a victim, he knew that selling was wrong. However, after a period of time, he actually lied even more.

Why did the victim end up being the one who did the harm? Why did the good people who were tricked into the distribution organizations become the backbone of distribution? At the heart of the answer is this broken tank mentality.

Since I have already done so, I might as well continue doing so. The deeper one goes along the wrong path, the better it is for them to be mocked after admitting their mistakes.

"This is face. Not to mention that the Chinese care about face, the Europeans care about face too. "Admitting that I've been cheated is just admitting that my IQ is not high enough and my mentality is not strong enough. This is the same as revealing to the society the flaws and weaknesses in my personality. This feeling is not good, not good at all …"

"And the newspapers, I admit that the editors were the smartest of them all, and I should have known very soon that I had been cheated by the French diplomats. "But you have to know, the more educated people are, the more intelligent and educated they are, the more they want to show their face …"

"You, a dignified newspaper editor, have been played around by people, and by a yellow-skinned monkey from China. If this gets out, who would believe the credibility of their newspaper? Do they still want to sell? If the reader does not believe them, who will buy their newspapers? "

"Hahaha, now do you understand? "In this group incident, there are no victors at all. Even if I am not the victor, even if everything goes according to my script, I still won't be able to escape my notoriety as a swindler and schemer in a hundred years …"

It was no wonder that Prime Minister was able to rise to power in East Asia in the next two years, and achieve such a great accomplishment in his career. With this understanding of the human heart, it would be impossible for him to not succeed.

"The matters between you men are too complicated. It sounds like I'm having trouble listening to it. I'll be going to rest. You guys can continue chatting …" Hu Niu saw that Yepingtai looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. He knew that Yepingtai had something to say to him, so she turned and left.

At this time, only Xiao Letian and Yepingtai were left in the dining hall. After being quiet for more than 10 minutes, Yepingtai suddenly stood up and kneeled down on the ground: "Father, please, I beg of you, please teach me this ability to see through the heart, I beg of you …"

Yepingtai's forehead was against the floor as he sobbed uncontrollably, he was so excited that his entire body started to tremble violently, and what Xiao Letian had just said seemed like a window opening up in front of him, a wondrous world which he had never seen before revealed itself to him.

"It's a godly skill! It's a godly skill!" Please be merciful, father. I have nothing else to ask, I only want this Godly Technique that can see into one's heart … "I, I, I'm willing to leave the center of power for the rest of my life. My son doesn't want to have the slightest bit of inheritance, and I only want my father to teach me!"

Hm? Xiao Letian was stunned, there was some hidden meaning in this brat's words, what did he mean by leaving the center of power? What do you mean by giving up the right to inherit? What the heck!

This won't do. Today, I must take out all the treasures in this kid's stomach. I want to see what he's planning.
