The full name of Flying Flame Land should be the Alliance of the Thirteen Kingdoms of Flying Flame, which is roughly divided into two alliances based on the Nirmasas bloodline and the Absalom bloodline. According to ancient customs, the location of the fifth energy level, It will be called the Royal Court.

The six lands governed by the Nirmathas blood system are Yuguang, Qinglin, Tengsha, Kongyu, Canqiu and Huiling, while the six lands governed by the Absalom blood system are Huanghai, Tianhong, Qingting, The seven places of Yanqi, Lifeng, Yanyuan and Jiyan are the places of flying flames. The two sides use the Salsa River as the dividing line and have jointly ruled the country for a long time.

The fifth-level powerhouse of this generation in the Flying Flame Land, the Chrysalis Savaga Nirmasas was born in the Tengsha Land, while the King of Jhin, Dastil Absalom, was born in the Fire Abyss Land.

It can't be said that the relationship between the two parties is not good. They beat each other hard when they were young and there was a little friction.

But the two people who had a small friction were worrying about the same thing recently.

That was the ‘public opinion offensive’ from the Silver Peak Leader.

Public opinion offensive - this term has appeared a long time ago. Its original most important purpose was to prevent the four orthodox religions from having the opportunity to intervene, and to encourage local people to avoid management troubles.

If there is no need for inheritance, no need to take care of future generations, and no need to consider the family, then the sublime ones have almost no need for ordinary people. But after all, the sublimator family is the norm in this world, so social forms such as the country still exist in the world, and controlling public opinion is still a moderate matter that requires the attention of rulers.

But now, in this generation after the declaration of perpetual motion, everything has changed.

The power of public opinion is getting stronger and stronger, and sociology is becoming more and more important, but many ascendant ruling groups have not noticed this... Just like Feiyandi, they are weak in the face of the continuous propaganda offensive of the Silver Peak Leader. The media simply cannot fight it.

If it were in the past, if you couldn't defeat it, you wouldn't be able to defeat it. At worst, the entire field would remain silent and wait for the topic to pass before continuing. But now, it is not so easy for officials in various countries to suppress the media's mouthpieces. In the past, they only needed to threaten to silence them. Or for future generations.

But now, people have to pack their bags and apply for political asylum... Do you still dare to kill people?

If you kill someone and bring their soul back to life, or be pulled up and resurrected by a perpetual motion machine that goes back in time and space in the future, just make a news and publicize it. Do you still want to vote?

What's more, the silence in the past was just a lie to ourselves, the problem was not solved, and the people's anger and disappointment only faded rather than disappeared. But now, when it comes to voting, lying to yourself is really just lying to yourself.

Theoretically speaking, no matter what Yinfeng leads the public opinion, the Feiyan side should calm down, deal with it silently, silently solve the problem itself, and then try to reverse the public opinion - after all, we are all from Feiyan, and everyone is willing I believe in Feiyandi.

But in fact, the public opinion war in Yinfeng collar is far from that simple.

The first people to speak out were some people from Feiyan who had been to Yinfeng collar for work, tourism or to visit relatives and friends. After they return to Feiyan Land, they will express their appreciation to their relatives and friends around the Silver Peak Territory for its cleanliness, civilization and safety - there are no thieves or robbers, there is elegant music on the streets, free food and drinks, and amiable enthusiasm. Silver Peak leads people.

These speeches will be accurately captured by the relevant media, and then extended and amplified, and then begin to 'question' some of the local actions of Feiyandi.

——Why are there still so many thieves in our local area?

——Why don’t we have convenient public transportation yet?

——Why has our road condition remained unchanged for decades and is so old and dirty?

——Why are our inspectors so unreasonable, impatient and intimidating?

These are old problems that actually exist and have troubled the people of Feiyan for a long time.

It is completely normal for the local media to directly use the current situation of the Silver Peak Territory to question some of the inherent ills of Feiyan Land. The only problem is that the intensity of the propaganda this time is too great, and other forces are obviously behind it.

However, this kind of attacks and doubts are now flooding all over the world. Since Feiyandi has no ability to solve it, even if he knows that there is someone behind the propaganda, he can only swallow his anger.

After all, he can't break his guard and get angry, right? If the defense is really broken, it will be funny.

——The officials of Feiyandi have broken their guard. They are furious all day long because of the speeches made by their domestic media!

--Why? Did the media say false news or make false reports?

——No, just repeating what they did in the past.

In order to prevent themselves from turning from incompetent to a laughingstock, Feiyandi's public opinion department couldn't even fight back.

This is also the reason why King Jin called a group of ministers to hold a meeting.

But until the end, King Jhin didn't hear any valuable advice from his ministers.

As for counterattack? Are you kidding? He didn't major in journalism or sociology. How did he know how to counterattack this kind of light and weak attack?

In order to avoid being seen as making a fuss out of a molehill, King Jhin could only hold back his anger and wait for Feiyan's own reforms to satisfy the people.

As long as Feiyandi's reform can go smoothly and these problems left over from the past hundreds of years are solved within a few years, then the local people of Feiyandi are still willing to believe in them.

As long as he keeps his composure, Feiyandi doesn't need to fight a public opinion war at all, and he can win naturally!

But, is it really possible to calm down?

It's hard.

Because at this moment, the second wave of offensive led by Yinfeng appeared.

This time, it was Yinfeng Ling's large-scale dumping of cheap goods.

Specifically targeting the seven lands of the Absalom bloodline, the Silver Peak Leader built a large market outside the national border through the original "Gap of the Western Mountains", a military important area that is now a port for exchanges between the two countries.

This market does not sell any luxury goods, but sells all kinds of daily-use products and various furniture and electronic products, and even sells a lot of cheap fresh food.

How cheap is it?

It's so cheap that it's more cost-effective to buy things even if you pay taxes across the country!

This is not surprising, because there is a lack of high-quality farmland in Feiyan Land, and the pressure on food is already great, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Except for a few areas where they can be purchased at a reasonable price, most other areas are quite expensive.

As for the intake of meat and protein, Feiyan Land mainly focuses on fish and beans. People who can really eat meat every day are definitely considered rich in Feiyan Land.

Various practical furniture, such as electric fans, dehumidifiers and mosquito repellents, etc., have been well received by the people of Feiyan Land - the climate in their place is similar to Nanling, which is also hot, humid and full of insects. Similar products There has always been a demand in the market, but most of the people who make these appliances are from the City of Knowledge, and the City of Knowledge sells them at the price of specialty products, which is very expensive.

Yinfengling, on the other hand, sells normal products, cutting out some functions and efficiencies. It produces and sells in large quantities, making small profits but quick turnover. In an instant, it captures almost all target user groups in Feiyan Land, turning Yinfengling's products into 'cheap and practical' products. The label hit everyone's heart.

But the scariest thing is not this.

The most terrifying thing is that Yinfengling has vigorously supported local workshops in Feiyan, invested in production in Feiyan, established a large number of factories and workshops, and created many jobs.

It's not about building branches, but really teaching local people how to make their own production lines... But how to teach them? The technical level is not so easy to raise. Even if you want to teach, Feiyandi does not have enough resources to teach.

Therefore, these core factory workers and technical personnel, and even all workshop executives, have to go to Yinfeng to 'study abroad'.

And these people who study abroad, after seeing and experiencing the life in the Silver Peak Territory, are willing to return to Feiyan Land, they can be said to be extremely patriotic.

But no matter how patriotic they are, they will all admit that the current Feiyan Land is far different from the Silver Peak Territory.

Moreover, Silver Peak Collar is indeed extremely friendly. What they saw and heard in Silver Peak Territory and all the civilized order they felt made them deeply impressed.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, but Yinfengling does not want profit, only fame.

At this point, the public opinion media within Feiyan Land can hardly compete with the public opinion army of the Silver Peak Leader for influence. Many Feiyan Land media outlets have even been bribed by the Silver Peak Leader and have become their mouthpieces.

But this mouthpiece does not require them to tell pure lies without conscience - they only need to follow the pace of the Yinfeng Ling public opinion army, publish some Yinfeng Ling soft articles, or reflect on Feiyan Land's institutional problems and so on Just the article.

The final blow came from the 'Network' from Yinfeng Ling.

terminal network. This network management system, which originated in Canaan Moore, later spread to the Empire and other places, and finally flourished in the Silver Peak Territory, is the key to the rapid growth of the Silver Peak Territory.

Although other forces are well aware that the real reason for the rapid development of the Silver Peak Territory is Ian Silver Peak himself and the legacy of Inaga II, the terminal network does allow the Silver Peak Territory to manage a large population with a very small number of people. There is no doubt that this kind of prop to assist management cannot be given up.

The same is true for Feiyandi. In fact, before the Declaration of 777, Feiyandi had already obtained the manufacturing method of the terminal network through various means. They cooperated with the Psychic Mechanism Order, and their technical level in this regard is actually not low.

As time went by, terminals inside Feiyandi gradually began to spread. Although they are still valuable items that can only be used by the middle class, the small watch-type terminal invented by Yin Fengling was cheap, practical, portable and easy to use, and it quickly accelerated. Terminals within Feiyandi are popular.

This popularity is incredible.

In Flying Flame Land, many people actually don't know how the rich and powerful live - just like in remote areas of the empire, many people have lived in poor places all their lives and don't know the world they live in. In fact, it is the seat of post-apocalyptic end-century civilization. They don’t know how big and tall the imperial capital is, nor how majestic the mobile royal court is.

But now, with the popularization of terminal networks, people at the lowest level can also know the lives of other people on the other side of the world.

Soon, half a year after Silver Peak announced nine-year compulsory education, in the late spring of Terra 778, the last wave of public opinion offensive began.

Thanks to the many functions that pre-era civilization and Canaan Moore have already prepared, Ian can easily create a large number of familiar functions on the original architecture without spending much effort. He can even directly use it to upload videos. Heart of Terra serves as a server, and no one can ban it. It focuses on sharing real life.

In just three months, Yinfengling's video sharing network was launched.

The fishermen of Jingge Cliff and the chefs of Yinfengling. The shamanic rituals in Jiuhan Silent Mountain, the daily life of craftsmen in Gantriggam...

The more unsatisfactory a person's life is, the more he will be stimulated by the lives of others.

The more people know about the possibility, the more angry they will feel because of their current complacency.

It is precisely because they know the good deeds of others that the people of Feiyan are calling for reforms in their own government that are getting louder and faster.

At this point, the officials of Feiyandi, who were making steady improvements, have been completely overwhelmed by negative reviews and criticisms - and they are speechless, because just a few years ago, they were indeed the ones who ignored the people. The "old-era government" that suppresses people's movements, conducts human experiments openly, and goes to poor areas to buy lives.

On the battlefield of public opinion, Feiyandi lost extremely thoroughly.

But in fact, for Ian in his previous life, this kind of public opinion offensive can only be said to be a draw, and there are still many big moves that are useless.

However, just a level A was enough to beat the shit out of Terra's Feiyandi in this era.

"No, if this continues, when Grand Duke Yinfeng comes over and gives a shout-out, at least half of our people here will turn to him!"

Keen officials quickly noticed the number of immigrants in recent times, and the number of dissatisfied people is also increasing - many people are strongly demanding that tax-free food imports be opened to Yinfeng collar, but if this opening is really opened , Flying Fire Land, at least the Absalom bloodline is really about to lose its independence.

When all the food was in people's hands, Feiyandi simply changed its name to a subordinate of the Grand Duchy of Silver Peak, and Absalom could save it. Ian Yinfeng can also have several more titles, and the roll call time can be extended by more than ten seconds.

At this point, even if you know it is a bad choice, you have to make it.

In order to counterattack the increasingly powerful Silver Peak Leader, Feiyandi could only pick up the topics of 'historical contradictions' and 'war hatred' again.

Some supported Feiyandi media began to publicize the imperial biological warfare and the damage caused by various special warfare attacks, calling on the people to remember the historical contradictions and not forget the difference between ourselves and the enemy.

But this is fine for dealing with the empire line, but it is a bit inappropriate for dealing with the Silver Peak Leader.

The General Political Bureau of the Silver Peak Territory expressed great disappointment with the hostile propaganda of Feiyan Land. They said that everything was a legacy of history. The empire of the war no longer existed. The imperial emperor Axel has now abdicated, and the Grand Duchy of Silver Peak has The predecessor of Nanling Province at that time had never taken the initiative to attack Feiyandi, and was even the victim of Feiyandi's attack.

None of them mentioned the food disaster caused by Feiyandi's attack on the Silver Peak Territory and the hatred left over from various biological warfare. May I ask where Feiyandi got the courage to bring up this topic?

On Terra, it is true that the Silver Peak Leader makes more sense.

According to the usual practice, a grand duchy with a fifth energy level, or a small force with a fifth energy level in a large force, can be regarded as relatively independent individuals. Nanling was indeed part of the empire before Ian's fifth level. It was normal for the two countries to be attacked during the war, but after Ian's fifth level, everything had to be calculated separately.

Theoretically speaking, the Ash King of Flying Flameland has to apologize to Ian, the Silver Peak Prophet, for the loss of Nanling!

"It's too much!"

At this point, let alone the fifth level, even low-level civil servants are going to get angry. King Jhin crushed his terminal on the spot after seeing Silver Peak Leader's response in the terminal text message - it's not surprising. He has a big temper, but as the fifth energy level, when has he been so aggrieved?

Fight back? How to fight back? The Yinfeng leaders didn't do anything. They just told the truth and reasoned, helped the Feiyan people find jobs, sold the Feiyan people cheap goods and food, and pointed out some of their trivial practical problems!

Even if the bad news about the Yinfeng Ling is publicized domestically, no one would think so, because no force in this world is perfect. Relatively speaking, the Yinfeng Ling has done a very good job, especially the first batch. All the children in compulsory education have completed their first semester, all the policies of Yinfeng collar have been successfully completed, and everything is flourishing. How can this be lost and how can we be blamed?

Solve your own problems? How to deal with it? There are so many problems in Feiyan Land, the inequality of the rich and the poor, and the overpopulation. Could it be that they can be solved in a short while? The promotion channels in Feiyan Land are actually quite good. Ordinary people can also be trained and then become ascendants. The major royal legions even have many designated quotas for civilians, and nobles are not allowed to interfere.

But all of this pales in comparison to Yinfeng's all-people arcane education.

King Jhin is no fool. On the contrary, he is one of the smartest people in the world.

"I see."

Dark red eyes looked towards the southeast of the earth, the defense line led by Yinfeng. The man took a deep breath and calmed down: "This is Ian Yinfeng's purpose... As of now, I have lost. .”

"Your Majesty, we haven't lost yet!" Hearing this sentence, some ministers wanted to step forward to explain, but the King of Ember just waved his hand in boredom: "If there is no perpetual motion voting, winning or losing is indeed still uncertain." Between—most people in Feiyan didn’t have that courage, nor would they have that determination, they took their whole families to move and emigrate just because the life in other places is better.”

"As long as we slowly reform, learn from Yinfeng Ling's practice, popularize the secret method, strengthen the national medical system, and carry out compulsory education for all, then within ten years, the people will regain our confidence."

"The public opinion between the two countries is not so easy to completely overwhelm one side. There are too many people who will feel proud just because of the name Feiyan people. The more Yinfeng leader publicizes, the more people will They want to build this country."

"But—it's too late."

The reason for everything lies in this point, the King of Ashes slowly stood up.

He is an old man with graying hair but red eyes like flames. He does not look old, and even has the muscles and face of a man when he is at his strongest. The king, who is wearing a black robe with red edges, said in an unquestionable tone: "The perpetual motion machine will vote, within a year and a half at the fastest," The slowest is within five years.”

"Such a long time is enough for another generation to grow up... Another generation of people living under the shadow of the Silver Peak collar has grown up."

"At that time, are you more looking forward to the future led by Yinfeng Leader, or the future led by us? Even you who support me the most, I'm afraid you can't make a choice against your will."

"Don't forget, dear friends... Our real goal is the perpetual motion machine."

"On this core goal, we have already lost."

How could these ministers not know what King Jin said?

However, they had been completely bound to the interests of the kings of Feiyan for a long time, and there was no possibility of them jumping back and defecting to the Chengyinfeng leader... Even if they knew they had lost long ago, they had to persist until the last moment.

"However, that boy Yinfeng still gave me one last chance."

Lowering his head and staring at his palm, the King of Cinders said slowly, "In other words, he has done so much to force me to choose this opportunity."

"A decent opportunity."

"The prophet who will never fail... the holder of the best public opinion in the world. Haha, he is forcing me step by step, like trapping prey into a trap, forcing me to use the last resort of civilization... that is, force 'ah!"

At this point, King Jin even laughed. He clenched his fists, and the invisible flames burned away the luxurious royal robes around him, revealing the armor made of red gold crystals under the royal robes.

"In this world that respects the strong and the strongest, as long as I can propose a future that is feasible enough and defeat the Silver Peak Prophet, I can turn defeat into victory!"

"This is the last chance he left for me."
