Chapter 127 The inappropriate remarks of the clowns
In any era, there will be some clowns who are ignorant of the world and jump onto the stage of history. Before the Sino-Soviet War really started, chaos occurred in the country. First, a tabloid "Weekly Commentary", which sold a small amount of sales but was very influential among Beijing students, published an article in the title "Warlord War". The article smeared Li Changgeng a lot of personality and beautified the Red Russian Revolution, describing the Sino-Russian War as the persecution of the international communist system by reactionary warlords. Immediately afterwards, a similar article was published in another newspaper Youth Daily, and then several southern newspapers also published the same article.
The Beiyang government has been slow to respond to this inflammatory report as always. It was like this during the May Fourth Movement and is still the case now. Only when the matter is out of control will the officials and men in Beiyang regret it.
Li Changgeng angrily threw down the newspaper in the office and shouted to Li Hongmo, the head of the propaganda department under his command: "You are just like the Beiyang government, you are so stupid. I spend so much money a year to support you. If such a thing happens, come and ask me what to do."
Looking at Li Hongmo with a red face, Li Changgeng's tone softened. Although Li Hongmo had no ability, he was just a material to be the mayor of a prefecture-level city, he was the first old minister to follow him, and his tone was too severe to hurt loyalty. Li Changgeng could hand over the most important propaganda department to him for management, and what he valued was his loyalty!
"Okay, let me tell you what to do. First, we will eliminate the misleading of the newspapers to the people immediately. We must always maintain a just image in the hearts of the people across the country. This is the capital of our Northeast Autonomous Government and the Kuomintang Party members, from beginning to end.
Second, contact the Beiyang government. For those who make such remarks, publish such articles at such critical moments, they are guilty of convicting the state and surrendering to the enemy. These people must not be allowed to go unpunished. If Duan Qirui dares not, our Northeast Army will take action personally. We will first arrest them in the name of inappropriate remarks. This crime can be either serious or serious, nor is it particularly sensitive. It is mainly to exclude whether the person who says this is a spy.
Third, even if someone dares to publish articles that slander us in newspapers, then reactionary propaganda will be carried out among the people. The intensity of such reactionary propaganda must be far greater than that in newspapers. We must be particularly vigilant, especially in places that we cannot control.
Fourth, your propaganda department must increase publicity efforts and propaganda methods. I want the whole Chinese people to see and hear this. All we see and hear is our just Patriotic War. Yes, it is a Patriotic War, not a war of aggression. We have signed a treaty with Belarus. Siberia and the Far East are now China's territory.
Fifth, pay attention to publicity details, don’t always report fake, big, empty, and send more real reports from front-line battlefield reporters, and set a group of combat heroes and patriotic role models. The power of role models is infinite. Let young people know that patriotism is not about shouting slogans, but about patriotism, which requires sacrifice and shed blood.
Sixth, we should also report the situation in the Soviet Union. We should deeply publicize our evil behaviors against the Soviet Union some time ago, so that those who have fantasies about the Soviet Union’s Communist Revolution can see clearly that communism is not done like that of the Soviet Union. See what kind of political oppression the Soviet people are under, how many Soviet people are starving to death, freezing to death, and even being rushed to the battlefield without any military skills training and dying innocently.
Seventh, we should reprint some reports that are beneficial to our Northeast Army in foreign newspapers. The Chinese still attach great importance to and call on the international community’s judgment on us. In recent years, both the government and the people in China have attached great importance to the comments in Japanese newspapers. Now we have a strategic alliance with Japan, so we will definitely sing our popularity. However, we must grasp the standards and not promote the positive image of the Japanese too much.
Eighth, China is now a member of the World ** Alliance. Even if it is an alliance, we must advance and retreat together in publicity. For example, the comic published in the New York Times some time ago, the Chinese people were promoted as braided. This is the inadequate work of your propaganda department. We must promote the positive image of Chinese people internationally through modern means, so that foreigners can hear, see, and feel the kindness, friendship, wealth, courage and justice of the Chinese people. Instead of men with braids, women with small feet, people ignorantly smoking big cigarettes, and doing coolies.
Ninth, I just said, but now I still have to say that the propaganda methods of your propaganda department should be diversified and serialized, but what I see now is still the same. How many people in China can understand newspapers? How can those ordinary people feel our propaganda? I have dug up so many monthly cards, but the monthly cards you promoted in three years are still the same. The purpose of propaganda is to let the people understand and feel that our Northeast Army had fought such a great Patriotic War with Belarus before, so why did Britain not appear now
The image of Xiong, do those month card painters only know how to draw beauties? Listen, I want to see the appearance of combat heroes on this month card, such as the 7th Division warrior, who used his chest to block the enemy's machine gun hole in order to win the battle, was awarded the special combat hero by the Northeast Army General Command. We must let the people see and imagine what the reason was that made him block the machine gun hole in the enemy's castle with his body regardless of sacrifice. The description of this deed is powerless, and only through the association of images can the people be sure that what they see is real.
Tenth, your propaganda department should combine the constitution of the Kuomintang and the current situation of prosperity in the Northeast, and realize in the domestic situation that the National Socialist Party has become prosperous and strong, and only in the National Socialist Party can make the whole of China prosperous and strong.
In addition, your propaganda department should not be in the dark under the light, and should be more agile in the Northeast. Propaganda work should be carried out as a child and carry out positive propaganda on national socialism for every primary school student. Primary schools should have Young Pioneers, middle schools should have youth leagues, and universities should have party branches of the National Socialist Party. The trick of propaganda is to conquer the masses!"
Li Changgeng said for a long time, and drank a sip of water with dry mouth. Li Hongmo put the book that recorded Li Changgeng's speech in his pocket and said with a sincere look: "Thank you for your instructions in the commander-in-chief for your instructions on our publicity work. We must follow your ten instructions and implement them carefully and conscientiously, so that our colleagues around us will feel the importance of publicity work."
Li Changgeng laughed secretly. Li Hongmo is not very capable of doing practical things, but he is a skill of flattery. Such a person will achieve results if he uses it well. If he uses it in the wrong place, it will be troublesome. It seems that he has to find a smarter deputy for him. "Well, the publicity work was first created by our Heilongjiang Governor's Office. Without the experience of his predecessors and colleagues, he can only cross the river by feeling the stones. It is necessary to be cautious. It is precisely because of Yu Chen, you are a mature and steady person that I handed over the publicity work to you. I just now had a sharp tongue and a heart. I saw the achievements of your publicity department and remembered it in my heart!"
